Having trouble with downloads; cannot change downloads folder; items save to downloads folder but I cannot open them;it save all downloads as a .part file

I cannot download any attachments. I get the pop up message to save it, I save it but it saves all attachments as a .part file which cannot be opened (or it just opens in Word even when it is a music/sound file.
Also, I tried to change the folder I download to and it will not let me. I click "choose" in the downloads prefs area but it does not let me change it. the button is unresponsive.

Lion hides the Library directory, but there are instructions on this page that describe how to make it visible.

In Snow Leopard, the Firefox profile is in User/<username>/Library/Application Support/Firefox/Profiles/<randomname>.default. I am assuming that the path has not changed in Lion.
Finding something in the Library used to be easy before Apple decided that Spotlight should no longer access it, so I have taken to using Easyfind instead. If the path to the profile has changed in Lion, you could still find it by searching for cookies.sqlite, but you cannot use Spotlight for that. Easyfind is much more versatile anyway.

  • I am having trouble with rules in mac mail. The first rule window shows but i cannot open a second filter rule!!

    Hi
    I am trying to create rules that would copy the incoming email to a cloud folder ( depending on sender ) and move the actual email from the inbox to a local folder on my laptop.
    The problem i seem to be having is the first rule ( regardless of whether it is copy or move ) shows ok but when i press the + button it does not bring up a new filter window as it used to.
    Totally confused on this one, can anyone help?
    Thanks
    Oh, latest versions of everything!!!!

    I'm having difficulty visualizing what is wrong but try some basic steps first:
    Launch Safari while holding a Shift key - this will start Safari with just your Home page
    If you can see Reset Safari from the Safari menu, try that.
    In addition to downloading and installing Safari again, try reapplying just the Snow Leopard Combo Update: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399 There is no need to uninstall Safari first.
    Lastly try deleting Safari's Preferences file: ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist

    Hello Joe,
    If you are having issues with getting mail on your iPhone, then go over the troubleshooting in the article below. If all the settings and passwords look good, then I would recommend removing the account and setting it back up.

  • Help I made a boob.  I was having trouble with my Adobe authorisation in my Override app, it suddenly wouldn't accept my password so I couldn't download books.  I tried everything I could think of but no use.  Finally I had a brainwave I would change my e

    Help please,
    i've made a catalogue of mistakes.  I've had an Overdrive app for ages to access library books which was great but this is what happened-
    1.  Suddenly a message kept coming up each time I logged in saying Adobe acct ........... is saved in your overdrive acct do you want to deauthorise or authorise.   I kept clicking on authorise but thought it might be better to deauthorise and authorise it properly in settings.  I tried this but my Adobe ID didn't work- nothing came up to say it was wrong but I kept getting thrown back to the authorisation screen and could not get any further or download books.  I did check my password was okay by signing into my Adobe account and it was the only one I had which I had used when I upgraded to I.o.s.7 and it was fine.
    I tried logging in and out, resetting my overdrive acct and eventually deleted the overdrive app and then reinstating it but nothing worked.
    2.  I decided if I got a new Adobe acct using my google email address then authorising the Adobe reader through this  might work.  However. It all seemed to go well I created the account then put all the details into my overdrive acct.  thought this was going well but I got a message as I tried to download a book 'fulfil code 2004' , saying another ID could not be used.  I'm now stuck it won't allow me to try my original ID.
    Can anyone help help me out of this mess and can I delete an Adobe ID once created please?

    Here is a link which describes the process for changing an Adobe ID:

  • I am having trouble with my iPhone 4s if I call someone or they call me I can hear them but they cannot understand me coz on the other end there are funny noises

    When someone calls me or I call them I can hear them perfectly fine but on their end it is fuzzy and you can't hear me ? Help plz

    Basic troubleshooting steps clearly outlined in the User Guide are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new device.
    If you have been through ALL of the troubleshooting steps and you're still having problems, then you'll need to bring your phone to Apple for investigation.

  • Is anyone having trouble with the keyboard sensitivity on the iphone?

    is anyone having trouble with the keyboard sensitivity on the iphone? I am typing, but can sometimes get a delay of 5 seconds or more before the letters actually appear on the screen.
    This is across all apps.
    Does not seem to be an issue with opening apps or scrolling etc., but only with the keyboard.
    Thanks.

    I had this problem after downloading Dropbox. Once I uninstalled it, my keyboard was fine.

    If your problem persists get yourself a micro USB cable (sold separately), you can restore your Apple TV from iTunes:
    Remove ALL cables from Apple TV. (if you don't you will not see Apple TV in the iTunes Source list)
    Connect the micro USB cable to the Apple TV and to your computer.
    Open iTunes.
    Select your Apple TV in the Source list, and then click Restore.

  • I'm having trouble with custom ringtones.  I have downloaded the free software "makeTones" and have created some ringtones.  I then copied those to Mac and played them in ITunes.  My Itunes does not have a ringtone tab.  I can not sync the ringtones.

    I'm having trouble with custom ringtones.  I have downloaded the free software "makeTones" and have created some ringtones.  I then copied those to Mac and played them in ITunes.  My Itunes library does not have a ringtones tab.  I can not sync the ringtones (or I don't know how)!  Please help.

    Yes, the file extension is M4R.  Does it matter where I save these files on my Macbook?  I then opened them in Itunes and played them.  I did find the Tones folder in Itunes but the Tones or Ringtones tab does not show up when I select Iphone (within Itunes).  When I open the Tones folder in the Library, it is empty.  Thanks in advance for your help.

  • Where can I find Firefox 3.6 to download since I am having trouble with Firefox 4.

    I would like to install Firefox 3.6, but I am having trouble finding a place where I can download it. I previously upgraded to Firefox 4, but am having trouble with it and would like to go back to 3.6. Where can I find a site that will let me download 3.6?

    What problems are you having with Firefox 4?
    To downgrade to Firefox 3.6 first uninstall Firefox 4, but do not select the option to "Remove my Firefox personal data". If you select that option it will delete your bookmarks, passwords and other user data.
    You can then install the latest version of Firefox 3.6 available from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html - it will automatically use your current bookmarks, passwords etc.
    To avoid possible problems with downgrading, I recommend going to your profile folder and deleting the following files if they exist - extensions.cache, extensions.rdf, extensions.ini, extensions.sqlite and localstore.rdf. Deleting these files will force Firefox to rebuild the list of installed extensions, checking their compatibility, and reset toolbar customizations.
    For details of how to find your profile folder see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Profiles

  • I have an Ipod Touch (4th Gen) and I am having troubles with my downloads from purchasing music from the Ipod. On my downloads icon in the Itunes Store (on Ipod) there is a symbol of how many songs I still have waiting to download, but they wont download.

    I have been having troubles with this for months and am extremly tired of not being able to download my songs. I bought these songs off of Itunes as well, so I really hope i can retrieve them. I do not know where to find a personal apple support person yet, does anyone know where to find one on the website?

  • I am having trouble with downloading videos from my Sony HDR-XR160 video camera. iMovie doesnt open up when i connect the camcorder. any suggesions?

    i am having trouble with downloading videos from my Sony HDR-XR160 video camera. iMovie doesnt open up when i connect the camcorder. any suggesions?

    Looking up your camera online, I found it is capable of 1920 x 1080 Full HD 60p Recording. It's the 60p (60 frames per second Progressive) that's the problem I think. iMovie '11 will do 60i (Interlaced). You might need to convert it from the format the camera currently uses into another format to get it into iMovie. Read more about it on this link here: How to import 60p footage From that message thread comes the recommendation to use ClipWrap to convert the camera's video clips now that they are in 60p:

    Use ClipWrap to rewrap to QuickTime. Import the files. Edit in either 59.94 or 29.97. The latter if you want to use the high frame rate for slomo
