Hi there. Got myself a apple iPad. Whenever I try to download anything from the web, following message appear, Dowload failed. Safari can not download this file. Any suggestions. Many thanks. Keep well

There are lots of formats the ipad doesn't understand, Zip files exe files etc.

Is there anyway of rectifying this. Do I need to download anything dear friend. Not really good with installing programs, had no choice, couldn't wait for my it friend to assist me.

what about apps? can you download apps from apple store? if it is yes then you need to jailbrake the ipad and use installous to download apps but if you are trying to download files like pdf; doc mp3 not possible thru stand alone you have to use ifile to select it to handle this action or download pdf and upload then thru itunes using ibooks app
