Can't download any image

Hi there, I have a serious problem here.


I'm trying to download images from the web and i can't because the format is .webarchive.
If i press download, an error pops out saying that the macbook can't download it because the format is .webarchive.

I've been looking for a solution and i just found "just drag it on the desktop".


Yes, I can do it, but i paid $3000 for a machine who can't download an image from the web?


Can someone please help me? It's very frustrating..


Thanks a lot

Some website have script set to not allow downloads.

You would get a .webarchive if you attempted to save the web page itself instead of downloading a file.



Control click (right click) opens a contextual menu for copying, saving etc

You can always take a screen shot of your image if the resolution is suitable to you needs.


Some copyright permissions might well apply on some images scraped off the web.


If you want more help, you can post a link or webpage to the image in question, and I can look at the situation specifically.

Ok_lets see if we can sort this out—


To trouble shoot further you can:


Try a SafeBoot https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201262

Takes noticeable longer to get to the login screen as certain system caches, dynamic loader cache etc get cleared and

rebuilt. This test will tell you if third party interference; extensions etc are not loaded in safe boot mode.


Test issue in another user (or guest user) account https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204443

This will tell you if it a universal issue or isolated to your user/admin account.



You can also get a pretty good look at your system conf with the http://etrecheck.com, if there is third party interference

like user installed anti-virus etc.

Hi, thanks for the answer.


Anyway i'm not trying to save the webpage, and i know that by right-clicking it opens a contextual menu where i can choose save image as.


The fact is that even though I save an image (any image from any site! I tried 10 different sites and i doubt is a permission problem because i tried with some lame sites too) to the downloads or anywhere else i can't download the image itself but it automatically downloads the webpage. Moreover it gives me an error message if i accept.
