"Safari can't save the file" - downloading all jpeg images??

Thanks for your response.

I trashed "Downloads.plist," and restarted the computer. It still is unable to download and save images (jpeg) from the internet. Then I checked Library > Safari, and now there is no "Downloads.plist" in the Safari folder???

So I then emptied the Safari cache. But then, I am still unable to download photos, images from the internet.

Any other suggestions would be very helpful for me as this is a problem.

Thanks,

Chris

Additional Discovery/Problem:

Using the internet on Safari, when I tried to save the image using "Save Image As," I received this message:

<< The document “abc.jpg” could not be exported as “abc”. You do not have appropriate access privileges.

To view or change access privileges, select the item in Finder and choose File > Get Info. >>

Under Systems Preferences > Accounts, I am listed under "My Account" as the Admin. There are no other Accounts enabled. If I am the Systems Administer and User together, how could I not have access privileges?

How can I change this so I can readily use "Save Image As" function for downloading and saving images in a specified folder?

Thanks,

Chris

I trashed "Downloads.plist," from "Library" in my Home folder, not from my System Folder.

This used G5 did not come with any discs.

How can I check to see if I have any Safari Extensions?

I do have DiskWarrior. Would that be helpful?

Chris

Thanks, I'll do that. And report back.

I did the Disk Repair in Utilities. Restarted. But still not able to save and download images, either under "Save to Downloads" or "Save Image As."

There still was no History.plist in the Home > Library > Safari folder. So I went to Apple and downloaded and installed a new Safari. That created a History.plist. Went I then went to an internet image and was able to save it to "Save to Downloads."

But when I tried to "Save Image As," I received the same message as always before:
The document “abc.jpg” could not be exported as “abc”. You do not have appropriate access privileges.
To view or change access privileges, select the item in Finder and choose File > Get Info.

I am the Administrator. There is no User. So I would think that I would have "appropriate access privileges."

In the transfer of all my documents in Migration Assistance, most of my Word documents arrived with "Read Only" access.

Any suggestions how to "change access privileges so that I have "appropriate access privileges to save items in folders or locations of my choosing?

I have not tried Disk Warrior. Disk Warrior worked on my previous G4 using OS 10.4. How would I determine if Disk Warrior will work with OS 10.5.8. I assume it would. Should I try it for this latest snafu?

Thanks for hanging in there with me.

Chris

Everything seems to be working now.

I ran DiskWarrior (the updated version for OS 10.5.8). It had six pages of repairs. Then I manually changed the disk permissions of each of my folders, and the User Folder, to enable Administrator to "Read & Write." (Most of the folders were "Read Only."

That seemed to do it. Thank you for your timely assistance.
