Safari errors

Greetings,

What errors are you talking about? You need to be very specific, since there are many types of errors and without knowing that information or the URL you entered when you got them, it's not enough to do any sort of troubleshooting.

That's a typical error that happens all the time with many web sites. It doesn't mean anything except that for some unknown reason Safari couldn't get a response from the server, or the stated asset (usually an image) isn't there. The only option in that case is to try reloading the page.

Safari doesn't break; it renders pages like any other browser, as long as the assets referenced in the HTML are available and comply with web standards. Nothing on Windoze complies with web standards, which is why IE and Firefox are designed to render invalid code. Safari is not that forgiving and expects web developers to have learned best practices by now.

Those two browsers are very, very different than Safari, so you shouldn't expect them to behave the same as Safari, which is a much better browser to begin with.

This happened to me a while ago and it was because realplayer downloader was opening at login. ( http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1913611&tstart=0). I fixed that. Now I just installed snow leopard and it's happening again, just like this person. The exact same thing happens on Safari, Firefox, Chrome (for mac (developer build), and Stainless. Only a few pages don't load right (facebook, igoogle, youtube, etc) and they don't load anything but basic text (in defauld font only) and basic buttons. No pictures, no flash, no fancy stuff at all.

What's wrong?

I am having the same problem this happened when trying to download a firmware update. I tried about 6 times it seemed to download completely and when it starts to unzip +The operation couldn't be completed SafariErrorDomain error appears and when I try to open the image file+ Nothing else running.

Since a couple of days I'm facing the same problem, but I'm afraid it's not due to Safari.

Yesterday, I've seen it with AppFresh (which searches for updates for the applications i have installed). Some of the updates were downloaded but would not run ("The following disk image could not be opened. Not Recognized"). I suppose those files have not been entirely downloaded.

Today I tried to download Things with Firefox ( http://culturedcode.com/things/download/?e=3102). The file is 8.1MB, Firefox "terminates" the download as if it was successful when the file is below 1MB (I tried several times, got several sizes).

Then I tried the same link with Safari, which at least gives the error message mentioned in this post, and that's how I get here.

I am using a very poor wireless connection, so I would not be surprised if the download would take forever, but I don't understand how both AppFresh and Firefox believed having got the whole file. And what does the Safari error mean?

Same with me. Just upgraded to new MacBookPro and Max OS 10.6.1 - I am trying to download a "download manager" from the Classics On Line music company, but I keep getting the "SafariDomainError error 0." message at the end of the download. I contacted the company by e-mail, who very quickly wrote back and said their download manager was compatible with Safari and Snow Leopard, and who gave me a link for a direct download, but exactly the same thing happened. This has never happened before, I don't believe it is not a problem with Safari, at least under Max OS 10.6.1 it is a problem or a bug of some sort.

I just upgraded to 10.6.1 from 10.6 and ever since, I can barely download a file! It take several attempts and I constantly get the error "safarierrordomain error 2" when it's almost done. I'm so sick of this. Does anyone have any ideas???

Thanks

I solved it by downloading firefox. I gave up in the end with Safari, there is a conflict of some sort between Safari and snow leopard.

I downloaded firefox (from my pc) and installed it on my Mac. It does run faster than Safari, but I still can't download something without it stopping. Safari gave me that "safarierrordomain error 2" message. Firefox doesn't even give an error...it just stops downloading like it's finished. It seems to be an issue with Snow Leopard. It's pretty sad that I have to download all my programs for my Mac from a PC.

Any news on a fix or is anyone else having this problem?

Thanks.

Ok. So I found a solution to fix my problem of downloading until apple can fix the overall problem.

I went and downloaded Firefox. It still had the issue, so I went under TOOLS (in firefox) and to ADD-ONS and downloaded "DownThemAll!". It is a download manager extension for Firefox. It not only works, but it downloads incredibly fast! and it will resume your download if you lose connection.

I'm going to keep on using this even after they fix the problem.

Hope this helps ya'll!!!
