Downloads don't appear in Downloads window

HI,

Try maintenance.

From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Empty Cache. When you are done with that...

From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Reset Safari. Select the top 5 buttons and click Reset.

Go here for trouble shooting 3rd party plugins or input managers which might be causing the problem.

Make sure Safari is not running in Rosetta. Right or control click the Safari icon in your Applications folder then click Get Info. In the Get Info window click the black disclosure triangle so it faces down. Where you see Open using Rosetta... make sure that is NOT selected.

Most web pages now include a small icon or 'favicon' which is visible in the address bar and next to bookmarks. These icons take up disk space and slow Safari down. *To delete Safari's icon cache using the Finder, open your user folder, navigate to ~/Library/Safari/ and move this file "webpageIcons.db to the Trash.

Relaunch Safari.

If you still have problems downloading files, go to ~/Library/Safari and move the Downloads.plist file to the Trash. Relaunch Safari.

Also, sometimes just rebooting your Mac can help.

HI,



Speed Download is the problem.

Try ~/Library/Internet Plugins Uninstall Speed Download. The uninstaller should be in the folder that you downloaded Speed Download to.

The tilde "~" character represents your home folder.

I experienced the same problem. After reading other posts regarding solving problems surrounding the Safari Downloads window I removed /Library/Safari/Downloads.plist . Upon reopening Safari the Downloads window was clear. I then double clicked the file I was downloading before the anomaly, in my Downloads folder in my home folder (ends with .download), Safari then reloaded it and picked it up right where it left off. Problem solved.

Thank you for your help. But my safari still not download.

My safari still on grey screen and I seen in Activity window it downloading but in Download window not have download status.

I tried to download on Firefox, Google Chrome and Opera. Have same problem.

And I tried to create new user admin account and download on safari. No have problem.

I think this problem maybe about user account setting.

Can you help me ?
(I have speed download in my account and don't have in different account)

Thank you for your help.

Yes I'm new member for Apple Discussions. I just follow this topic because like as my problem. And now my safari comeback to normally when I download any file any site.

Next time if I have new problem again. Will post in new topic.

Thank you

Hello,
I am having the same problem. It didn't use to be this way. Usually, when I have stuff downloaded on there, it shows. But when I clear the download window, then I can't see the ones I've downloaded anymore even though they show in the Finder window. How can I solve this?

It's weird I started having the same problem today. Does anyone know what's wrong and how to fix it?

Well, I do have the same problem since Friday. Weird.
Files get downloaded but don't show up in the download window.
