Download files, already download one time, don't replace old same files

Hi,
For our business, we work with a lot of files on firefox.
On one computer, when we download a file (like Open Office file), it doesn't replace old same file, that we have downloaded before. The system add (1), (2), ... at the end of file name. So when we must upload this file, we have several files for the same thing but with several versions.
In Options, I checked that Firefox always ask the download location. And in Application, that it ask for all Open Office file.
For others computers, there is no problem.
Thanks.

I think, by resetting download action, may solve your problem.
'''To reset how all file types are handled by Firefox back to default:'''
'''Open your profile folder:'''
First, At the top of the Firefox window, click on the''' Firefox '''button, go over to the '''Help''' menu and select''' Troubleshooting Information'''. The Troubleshooting Information tab will open.
Then, Under the '''Application Basics section,''' click on''' Show Folder'''. A window with your profile files will open.
Then, At the top of the Firefox window, click on the Firefox button and then select Exit
Then, Rename the''' mimeTypes.rdf''' file to '''mimeTypes.rdf.old .'''
After All, Restart Firefox.

How do I go about deleting mulitple song files all at one time as opposed to deleting them all individually off of the latest version of iTunes

How do I go about deleting mulitple song files all at one time as opposed to deleting them all individually off of the latest version of iTunes?
Also I have tried authorizing my computer to play the songs I purchased off of iTunes when I had an iPhone 4 and it will not allow me to play them whatsoever. I now have an iPhone 5 and wish to load these past song purchases onto my new phone. How do I solve this issue?

what you're missing to export multiple files is the batch export command available in the file menu or by control clicking on the items in the browser. You can export multiple sequences/clips at full resolution with this.
This has been available in fcp for a long long time.
Wow, you are right. Now that you mention it, I can't believe I never noticed that. Thanks.
Only if you have the 'Self-Contained' box checked. Otherwise you'll end up with a reference movie.
Correct. That box is typically checked by default. There are other default settings you could change that would not result in a full-quality version, but what I meant was hitting that option from the pull-down menu, then changing nothing and hitting ok.

How can i download many file from server one times.

Hi,
I want to create the service to download multi-files from web server one time
from browser. It seems no way to do it. My soulition is compressing the files
to zip before download it. The problem is that when the user uncompresses the
files,full path of downloaded files are setted. Look like this:
/usr/tmp/test/file1
/usr/tmp/test/file2
/usr/tmp/test/file3
My question is :
1. Is there any way not to specify the full path of a file when
add the file to zip.
Here is the source
BufferedInputStream bis
= new BufferedInputStream(
new FileInputStream( file ) );
//if not full path . can is works?????
ZipEntry target = new ZipEntry( file.getPath() );
// zos is ZipOutputStream
zos.putNextEntry( target );
int c;
while( ( c = bis.read() ) != EOF ) {
zos.write( (byte)c );
2. Is there any way to get and change the current work directory of my server ?
Please help!!

If i use file.getName(). I will lost the struct of path.
I means that,if i compress the list of files:
/usr/tmp/test1/file1
/usr/tmp/test1/file2
/usr/tmp/test2/file3
can i keep the part of path's strcut. (usr/tmp/../.. etc.)
I tried to do as this:
target = new ZipEntry( file.getPath.substring(1));
an error be reported when uncompressed the zip file.
error message:
warning [zt000002.zip]: extra 28 bytes at beginning or within Zip file (attempting to process anyway)
Error in file #1: bad Zip file offset (Error local header signature not found): 0
(attempting to re-compensate)
Extracting 20030109.xls
Error: unexpected end of file encountered
Error: invalid compressed data to inflate
Why? can i set "any" entry name??

Firefox 31.0 tries to redownload files already downloaded

I recently updated Firefox to version 31.0, installed Google Chrome, and updated Java and Adobe Flash player to the latest versions, on my laptop running Win XP Pro SP3. This was all in an attempt to overcome problems I was having using an airline reservation system. The airline staff advised me to use Google chrome because their website was apparently developed with it, and they recommend it.
A couple of days later I started noticing problems with downloaded PDF files (not from the airline website). A couple of times, copies were created of PDF files I had downloaded, sometimes corrupted, sometimes not (the original downloaded files were still on my hard disk and O.K.). However, mostly the problem was that some (not all) previously downloaded PDF files had had their "date modified" changed to that day's date, and a time soon after booting the PC that day. The "date created" was unchanged. A file comparison (FC command) with backups I had made of the PDF files showed that the files were unchanged. The times on the copied files were also soon after bootup that day. I certainly didn't modify the files myself, or create the copies.
I have done a complete virus scan and spyware check on my system, and no problems found.
Initially I suspected Google chrome, since it was the most significant change I had made to my system. There seems to be no easy way to stop it automatically checking for new versions, and after some investigation I found that, without my permission, it had installed 2 scheduled tasks on my PC, 2 new services, and a Firefox addon - all to do with "Google update". I eventually eliminated them all, and they haven't come back.
However a couple of days ago I noticed that the problem with the PDF files has returned. I can't see any pattern to it - it doesn't affect all downloaded PDF files. And for reasons detailed just below, I suspect it's not only PDF files - it's just that I have been downloading a lot of PDF files lately, and I don't think I've downloaded any other sort of file (apart from the updates listed above).
When starting Firefox a day or so ago, I noticed the download arrow very briefly flash, before I had loaded any webpages (I have Firefox set to show a blank page on startup, rather than a home page). When I looked at the downloads, it had tried (and failed) to download 5 PDF files I had previously downloaded. Since then, this pattern has been consistent, with the same 5 files involved. Once when I stopped and restarted Firefox without rebooting the PC, I noticed the same thing happen, i.e. if the problem occurs, it seems to be related to starting Firefox, rather than booting the PC.
I have found that often when I try to download a file, it fails the first time, and I have to try again once or twice before it successfully downloads (I didn't have this problem with previous versions of Firefox). Sometimes I have clicked on the "try again" icon (circular arrow) in the download list, and sometimes just tried the download again from the particular website (often the "try again" arrow fails again, whereas trying again on the website works).
Could the problem I am having have something to do with failed downloads (especially as on the last couple of days it fails again), i.e. does Firefox somehow "remember" that it couldn't download the file previously, and it automatically tries again when when it is restarted? (and sometimes succeeds, resulting in the changed "date modified" - "date created" is presumably unchanged due to tunnelling; although, until a day or 2 ago, I had it set to clear download history when I exit Firefox. I always clear all cookies and the cache when exiting Firefox).
Sorry this is so long, but I thought I had better include all the details.

I tried deleting sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak, but unfortunately it didn't work - the next time I started Firefox it tried to download the 5 files again.
I rebuilt the places database as described in http://kb.mozillazine.org/Bookmarks_history_and_toolbar_buttons_not_working_-_Firefox, but again, the next time I started Firefox it tried to download the 5 files again.
I then decided to just delete the 5 failed downloads from the downloads history, and that seemed to work - it didn't try to download the 5 files again.
However a couple of days later I downloaded 4 more PDF files. One failed at the first and second attempts, but then I was finally able to download it. The next day when I started Firefox, it tried to redownload one of the files (I think the one that I had trouble downloading, but I can't remember for sure) and failed. But worse than that, the file it tried to redownload had been deleted from my hard disk - just as well I had backed it up to a USB stick.
I think the problem occurs when a download fails (which it often does at the first attempt), and I then successfully download the file by clicking on the download link on the appropriate webpage again, rather than the "try again" icon in the downloads list (which I find invariably doesn't work).
So I guess the questions are:
1. why do my downloads often fail at the first attempt (no error message - it just says "failed" in the downloads list).
2. why does Firefox apparently try to redownload failed downloads when it is next started, without asking me if that is O.K.

Apple response to my movie download issue. A one time refund, Read the Terms of Sale, you buy the rental you own it works or not. I tried VUDU and it works great via my PS3. Thanks for everyone input.

Hi Ernest,
Chris, here from the iTunes Store. I see that you rented the movie "Captain America: The First Avenger" from the iTunes Store and it will not play properly. When it comes to your money, I can certainly appreciate how important it is to feel that you are treated fairly, and I would be more than happy to help you out with this today.
I'm happy to report that I was able to make a one time exception for you, and have reversed the charge for "Captain America: The First Avenger," which I understand did not work for you. In five to seven business days, a credit of $3.99, plus any applicable sales tax, should be posted to your Visa.
Please keep in mind the refund will not process until payment has been received successfully by iTunes, which usually takes three to five business days from the date of your purchase. Once payment has been received, you will receive an invoice for your purchase and the refund will appear three to five business days after your invoice is sent.
It is highly recommended to monitor the order that a refund has been requested for, to ensure the purchase was processed successfully by your financial institution. If the payment or refund does not appear on your statement after the appropriate amount of time, please respond to the correspondence received and we will gladly investigate this matter further.
Please note that according to the iTunes Store Terms of Sale, all sales are final, so this is an exception which I cannot guarantee will be granted again in the future. The iTunes Store Terms of Sale are available for you to review here:

Sorry your experience wasn't a plesant one, but most of the issues they work on are hardware in nature, not software.. I'm not taking up for Apple... I'd had my share of run-ins with them as well.
As for your iTunes issue... an EASY solution is to simply tell iTunes that the location you want your tunes stored in is your Public folder. Items in your public folder can be seen and opened by others, so your wife could easily access the files there.
For you, go to your Music folder, find the iTunes folder, and drag it to your public folder.
Next, go to iTuness>Preferences and click on the Advanced tab, then the General Tab, and the first window you see is the iTunes Music Folder Locataion. Click Change, then navigate to the iTunes folder in you Public folder.
Now, next time you purchase a song from the iTunes store, or import songs from a CD, they will be stored in the iTunes folder, in your public folder.
You wife does basically the same thing except she navigates to YOUR public folder, and the iTunes folder inside.
She will have to manually find and import any new songs you add but at least your entire library will be available for her to listen to.
There are other ways of getting the same thing done, but I think this is the easiest.

IPad AiO app: Sharing multiple files/docs at one time?

iPad AiO remote app: I cannot share more than one file or doc at a time to Cloud storage, even though you can 'select all' the app does not seem to allow you to share a group at one time. Is there a work around for this?

Hello aqtpa33629,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
I see that you are using the AiO remote app and are trying to upload files to your Cloud storage. The "Select All" option is for selecting all files to delete, not uploading.
The app is only allowing one file to upload because only one file can be opened at one time.

How do I stop this as there is no ability to remove the 2nd App?

DME File Problem with One Time Vendor

Hi SAP Gurus,
I created a payment method Y and assign RFFOM100 and used this to do postings for one time vendors.
Then I ran automatic payment for One Time Vendors, pertaining to 5 different vendors. Payment run was successful, however the DME file generated shows 5 payments but all payments shows 1 single payee name..
Is there any configurations that I might have missed?
Appreciate your assistance.

Is there an option to use the old "Don't Replace" option during file copying on OSX Lion??

I am extremely upset at the removal of "Don't Replace" function during copying. I often copy many of my music, picture and video files onto external hard drives for back up and often times they total more than 100 files. On Snow Leopard when I would copy files onto the external if some files were already on the external hard drive it would give me the an option of not replacing the files already there and just copying the rest. With Lion the new option is to either make a secondary copy of the file, just stop the whole copy or just replace the file already there. Because of this i have to spend the extra time of replacing all the files each time i back up, or stop the copy and go through hundreds of files to deselect the file already on the external drive. PLEASE BRING BACK THE "DONT REPLACE" Option

Upon further use and file moving, I'm now in agreement with Kappy. I made a blank TextEdit file on the desktop, copied it to my Home folder, then tried to copy again.
This is the result:
Then I made three untitled TextEdit files and did the same procedure.
This is the next result:
That looks pretty standard and the same as it was before. What function do you guys claim to be missing?

Get error message "this "**" file cannot be attached until the files already attached are finished uploading" even when attaching 1 file

I attached multiples .pdf files to an email. Tried to attach the next file before the previous 1 finished attaching. Got error message "this "**" file cannot be attached until the files already attached are finished uploading". Was never able to attach that 1 file to the email that I received the error message for; was able to attach subsequent files to that same email & send it. Now, I often get the same error message, even if I only attach 1 file & esp. when attaching .ai or .jpeg files. What can I do to fix this problem?

It looks like nobody has an answer for this despite of the 80 something views!
And here i thought Adobe admin would be monitoring the forum, but surprisingly, they don't even have the answer for this!!!

I'm trying to send a jpeg from the Imac to a windows PC. The windows PC doesn't recognize it as a "file" with the paper clip. Why? The same file from my iPhone makes it fine. It is sent as "windows friendly" attachment.

This is very frustrating. I use Aperture and share pictures all the time. The thought that some people can't download jpeg images I send them is very troubling. As a test, I'm sending them to my work PC which is in front of me. The file arrives and can be seen in the email, but it does not show up as an attachment and therefore you can't save it. There's no paper clip in the file when it arrives. When it's sent, it shows the number of files being sent and the size. And like I said, if I send a file from my Iphone it arrives as a jpeg file fine on my work pc. I have checked my default settings and they are set to "windows friendly attachments". I'm not sure what "at the bottom of the email" means really. This seems to happen wether I originate the request form Aperture or from the email program on my Imac. Help!!

No, that doesn't work for me. And things seem to be inconsistent. Where it lets you vary the file size (small/medium/large/actual) when large and actual are the same, it doesn't send the actual jpeg file for windows to open. When large and actual size files are different when you toggle between the two, the file seems to go through to my windows pc ok. When I tried this through preview, that's when I noticed this difference, not through just email or Aperture yet. Help!

Reversing jack-in-the-box icons that replace old excel file icons

Today I noticed that Excel file icons on my desktop have been replaced with a jack-in-the-box icon. It looks like this:
This seems to happen only to Excel files last modified prior to 1993 (although I have not checked all files to determine if this is always true). In the information panel (command-I) for the file, under "open with" it shows "microsoft excel (110725)" but with a "do-not-enter" symbol superposed. On the "open with:" pull down menu (still in the information panel) it also lists "microsoft excel 14.3.4" two times, along with "print preview" as possible choices.
If I double click on the file, it opens normally (I looked long and hard to see if this symptom resembled any viruses before doing that). But it does not change the icon back to normal unless I resave it as an xlsx document. If on the information panel, I change the "open with" choice to microsoft excel 14.3.4 and add the .xls extension to the file name (still in the info panel), the icon changes to the normal Excel icon. It does not change the icon on the desktop unless I do both. Occasionally, it will change the icon on the information panel, but not change the icon on the desktop.
In searching through the archives I found a discussion that suggests this icon is residual from the ResEdit program. I have no idea if that is relevant to my case (in the archive, it had to do with icons for Word documents).
I would appreciate thoughts on why this may have suddenly occurred, and if there is a way to reverse it, short of going through each of hundreds of Excel files, opening the Information panel, and manually making the change.
I did not recently update my OS or upgrade Office. I am running OS X v. 10.8.3 on a 17 inch MacBook Pro with 2.2 GHz Intel Core i7. The Excel version is 14.3.4 (130416). I have Sophos Anti-virus software running.
Thank you.

I am no help other than to say it happened to me as well, not on Excel files, but on 3 folders I had with custom icons. (from a Calvin and Hobbes collection). I have not idea where they came from, and oddly when I go back in time machine to versions of the folders that are a year old they have also been replaced with this icon.
I believe it defies explanation. But I am so glad it has happened to someone else. There is no discernable change other than the odd icon.

I brought a new ipad (3rd generation), the problem i am having is with itunes. i downloaded a television series onto my ipad, i did not know that it would try to download it all at one time. my question is how do i change the way my ipad loads.

As I stated in the title, I purchased an ipad (3rd generation), and I am having trouble with itunes downloads. Mistakenly when I purchased a television series I selected download the entire series to my ipad. Is there a way to stop this download and change the download location to either my laptop or into the cloud?

Did you try tapping on the download to bring up a pause status? You can finish the download on the computer in iTunes. You may be able to delete the download by swiping across the progress bar of the download after you finish the download on the computer.
Launch iTunes on your computer and go to Store>Check for available downloads. Finish the download in iTunes and then try to delete the download from the iPad.

Downloading all attachments at one time

I actually am having two issues. First, when I purchased the Razr Maxx and the verizon rep at the store set up my email account (hotmail) on the phone. We opened up an email that had about 5 attachments and as soon as I opened the email itself, the attachments were somehow automatically opening in the body of the email. That is no longer happening.
Second, when I do receive an email with attachments, I click on the attachment, it opens to a new screen and then I have to click on "download" for it to open. Not really a problem if there is only 1 or 2 attachments. However, when I get email with 10 attachments, is there any way to (1) get them to open automatically as it did the day I purchased the phone....or (2) is there any option to "download all" (without having to save them anywhere)?

Try opening the email client and then press the menu button and look for the option for the messages delivery options and make sure you have download attachments checked.... Also if this doesn't work you can try K9 email client from Play Store it has this option that seems to work as you ask..
