Safari changes the name of my documents to "0.docx" when I download them from the gmail page. When downloading several documents at once, it saves them as 0-2.docx, 0-3.docx, etc. I have to open Finder and rename them. It is very annoying.
Anyone have this problem? what kind of solutions have you found?
I have an Imac with Yosemite 10.10.4
iMac, OS X Yosemite (10.10.4)
Might be a cookies, cache, extensions, or plug-ins issue.
From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Privacy tab.
Click: Remove All Website Data
Then delete the cache.
Open a Finder window. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
Click Go then move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that didn't help, from the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. Turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that helped, turn one extension on then quit and relaunch Safari to test until you find the incompatible extension then click uninstall.
If it's not an extensions issue, try troubleshooting third party plug-ins.
Back to Safari > Preferences. This time select the Security tab. Deselect: Allow plug-ins. Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that made a difference, instructions for troubleshooting plugins here.
Dear Carolyn, thank you for taking the time to write such detailed instructions. Unfortunately, I did it all, step by step, but nothing changed. Oh well...
Having the same problem here. OS X 10.10.5, Safari 9.0. Anyone?
