Any guesses as to why that might have set itself that way, or any suggestions on how to change it? I've already tried repairing permissions on the startup disk in Disk Utility. My user account is the only one on the machine and it's an admin account. On further analysis, it appears that the 'Macintosh HD', Downloads folder, and Desktop are showing the 'pencil with a line through it' icon in the bottom left of the Finder window, which would suggest those areas are read-only for some reason. Apple Configurator installs on OSX not iOS. I think this is where you are confusing us. only installs on an ios device 10.8 or later. doesn't have all the features I need, the Apple Config. I was able to perform a right-click action and Save File As. iPhone Configurator and Apple Configurator are two different things - The iPhone Config. That wasn't the problem, but your suggestion did shed light on something else. This can happen when aliases are used and things have been copied (migrated) from another drive.
The same may occur if the download target location is set to a non-available drive.
If that has somehow been set to a disk image or a CD/DVD location, you'll get that 'not enough space' message. Check in Safari's Preferences (in the Safari menu) to see what has been designated as the destination for downloads.
