My Mac Doesn't Let Me Download Anything

Right click on the folder(in which your file is contained) and add to your own drive. Go to your drive(“My Drive”). Locate the folder you just added. Right click on the folder, and ‘get shareable link’(type: anyone can view).

My wife has an eMAc that has developed a problem. Any time she tries to download a file from the web, absolutely nothing happens. This is true for both Firefox and Safari and applies to any type of file (picture, game etc.) On the other hand, updates from Apple download fine and my laptop downloads fine when plugged into her cable modem. She is running the latest version of OS X and the start of the problem does not seem to coincide with any new software being installed.
Any ideas as to what might be the cause?
Thanks

My Apple Store Won't Let Me Download Apps

Safari can download most types of files, but if you have trouble with a file, try these suggestions.

  • If Safari is still downloading the file, wait for it to finish. You can’t open a file while it’s being downloaded.

  • If the download is paused, resume it. Show the downloads list by clicking the Show Downloads button , then click the Resume button for the paused download.

  • If you see a message that the app can’t be opened because it’s from an unidentified developer or wasn’t downloaded from the Mac App Store, you can open the app by overriding the settings in Security & Privacy preferences.

  • Sometimes a download is incomplete because the file was damaged. Try downloading it again.

  • Make sure you have the app needed to open the file. If you do, the file may have been corrupted during the download. Delete it, then try downloading it again.

  • The downloaded file may be a compressed archive or disk image that contains the file you want. If the file is from a trusted site, double-click it to decompress it.
