How do I change the location of my downloads?

Hi there,
I've recently changed the location of my music to external device but as i download it saves onto my laptop then i spend a lot of time transferring to external harddrive then back into itunes. is there a way to just enable me to download into a folder on my external hardrive?
Cheers Boffins.

Hi
If you're referring to downloads via Safari, connect your external drive to your laptop, then go back to Safari. There, open Safari Preferences>General panel. There, click on the drop down menu next to "save download files to", select "other" and navigate to your external location and click on "select".
Important your external is connected to the laptop when you are downloading a file, otherwise, Safari may hang as it looks for the external location.

  • How can I change the location for the backup from iphone to itunes?

    How can I change the location for the backup from iphone to itunes? I want to backup to my external harddisk and not the computer itself. How do I do it?

    Moving the iOS device backup location
    Open a command prompt by hitting the start button and typing CMD<Enter> in the search box that opens up, or with Start > Run on older Windows.
    To move the current backup folder from C: to D: (for example) type in this command and press <Enter>
    Move "C:\Users\<User>\AppData\Local\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup" "D:\Backup"
    Where <User> is your Windows user name.
    To make iTunes look for the data in the new location type in this command and press <Enter>
    MkLink /J "C:\Users\<User>\AppData\Local\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup" "D:\Backup"
    If your preferred drive has a different letter or you already have a folder called "Backup" then edit "D:\Backup" accordingly in both commands.
    If you have Windows XP then you'll need a third-party tool such as Junction to link the two locations together instead of the MkLink command. The source folder is C:\Documents and Settings\<User>\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup

  • How can I change the location of my Backups? (e.g. Word files)

    I am wondering how I can change the location of my word doc. back ups. Everytime I make a new word document my computer makes a duplicate titled: " Backup [then the title I gave the word document]." I was wondering if I could make a single file to store all of the back ups. Currently they are in every file that the original is in. Thanks!

    It depends on which version of Windows you are using but it will intitally be downloaded to the C: drive.  The data is initially stored in the following locations:
    Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\[user]\Application Data\com.adobe.downloadassistant.AdobeDownloadAssistant\Local Store
    Windows 7 and Vista:  C:\Users\[login]\AppData\Roaming\com.adobe.downloadassistant.AdobeDownloadAssistant\Local Store
    You will need to get enough free space on the C: drive to allow the download.

  • How can I change the location name my iPhone pulls up when I am home. The info that pulls is not correct?

    How can I change the location name my iPhone pulls up when I am home. The info that pulls is not correct?

    If the size of the iPhone backup is putting you over the edge you have bigger problems than just this backup. You really need to solve the fundamental problem of your C: partition being too small. Even if you could solve the iPhone problem something else will come up soon that will again challenge your disk space. New drives can be had for well under $100, and even a 500 GB drive is only a little more than $100. This would be a good time to upgrade. You can even clone your current drive AND increase the partition size in one step with disk imaging software such as Acronis True Image.

  • How can I change the default setting for downloading photos from email?

    How can I change the default setting for downloading photos from emails I receive?  It shows the default as Photoshop Elements 4.0 and is not supported by this system.  That was my last computer!!
    Thanks,
    Sheila

    That has nothing to do with styles nor Pages, it is a System/Printer Driver setting.
    You can experiment to see if the Printer Settings stick with your document, but in the past this has not worked.

  • How can I change the location where iTunes saves iOS 5.1, new data, synchronized apps and other data?

    My hard drive C is full. I changed the location of the mediathek to an external hard drive F and moved all media data there. Also, I synchronized my iPad with this new set-up. So far, everything worked out well.
    Now, why is iTunes stll saving data, like the much needed iOS 5.1, to C? This actually makes it impossible for me to finally update my iPad, because my C drive is simply full!
    Also, iTunes does not synchronize my iPad apps or my photos. When I try to synchronize them manually, iTunes starts to save data to my C drive. How can I change that to my external drive F?
    In a nutshell, how can I move iTunes once and for all to my external hard drive F (or at least, to a different hard drive on my computer)? There is simply no space on my C drive for it at all.
    Thankyou so much for an answer, I am literally going nuts right now!

  • How do you change the location of where your photos are stored?

    How do you go about changing the location of where your iPhoto files are housed?  I'm running out of space on one drive and want to move them all over to a drive that can house all of the current (and future) photos?

    Moving the iPhoto library is safe and simple - quit iPhoto and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity to the external drive - depress the option key and launch iPhoto using the "select library" option to point to the new location on the external drive - fully test it and then trash the old library on the internal drive (test one more time prior to emptying the trash)
    And be sure that the External drive is formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) (iPhoto does not work with drives with other formats) and that it is always available prior to launching iPhoto
    And backup soon and often - having your iPhoto library on an external drive is not a backup and if you are using Time Machine you need to check and be sure that TM is backing up your external drive

  • How can I change the location of files? (buffers, history)

    I want to change the location of my history and buffers from my SSD to a flashdisk. [Reason: to overcome wear and rear on my SSD.] How can I do this?
    Open question: What other file locations (paths) should I change?

    You can disable the disk cache by using "Clear history when Firefox closes" to clear the Cache.<br />
    You can verify that on the about:cache page (disk cache entry is missing).
    The history and the bookmarks are stored in the same file and can't be separated.<br />
    You would have to move the entire Firefox profile folder to that other drive or use Private Browsing mode.<br />
    It is probably a good idea to make regularly backups of valuable profile data in case of drive failure.<br />
    Flash drives also do not last forever and are also usually slower.

  • My page is defaulting to UK and I am in Australia. The google search in toolbar searches UK. How do I change the location in settings?

    Hi how do I change my location as in Country from UK to Australia

    I assume that you are referring to the '''Search Bar''', which is to the right of the Location Bar where URL's appear. You have the '''en-GB''' version of Firefox installed, which comes with the Google GB search engine. Install a Google - Australia search engine from here. <br />

    There are two listed, so make sure you install the one for '''Pages From Australia'''.

  • How can I change the location where itunes stores my backup?

    I don't know how to change the location were itunes stores my backup and my transfer purchases. I don't have enough memory on the hard driver where the windows is installed.Please help me!!!

    Transferred purchases usually get stored in the iTunes Media folder although if your library started life back on iTunes 8 or earlier then apps could be stored within the main iTunes library folder. This post gives an overview of how to restructure your library on a different drive. I can give specific instructions if you tell me more about your current setup.
    To change where iTunes stores iOS device backups redirect <Profile>\<AppData>\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup to a folder on another drive using NTFSLink (shell ext., might only work on XP) or Junction (cmd line tool). In essence you move the existing folder to a new location, create an empty folder where the old one used to be, then get the operating system to link the two together and silently redirect any file operation on the old location through to the new one.

  • How do I change the location of the coldfusion-out.log and coldfusion-error.log files in CF10

    When I change the log location in ColdFusion Administrator it changes the location of most but not all the log files.  I have a requirement from my customer to place all log files on a separate partition on the server.  For ColdFusion 9 I was able to modify the registry settings to change StandardOut and StandardErr for the ColdFusion Jrun service.  This does not appear to the case for ColdFusion 10 which now uses Tomcat 7.
    I tried modifying log4j.properties file and was able to relocate the hibernatesql.log, axis2.log, and esapiconfig.log but not the coldfusion-out.log.
    I am running ColdFusion 10 Enterprise Edition on a 64-bit Windows 2008 Server.

    The location of the rest of the ColdFusion logs can be changed in the ColdFusion Administrator.  Go to the Debugging and Logging section, Logging Settings.  There is a form at the top of the page where you can change the log storage location.

  • How do I change the location of my songs?

    I've done this in the past, and its worked. But this time, using iTunes 10, it didn't. Has something changed?
    I had almost 1000 songs on an external drive. Got a new mac with plenty of local disc space, so I copied all the files over to my Music/iTunes/iTunes Music/Music/ folder. I then edited the "iTunes Music Library.xml" file to bulk-change the location from the old area to the new. Brought up iTunes and all my songs were still there... But when I did a "Get Info" they were still being referenced in the old area. The line for each song was changed from:
    <key>Location</key><string>file://localhost/Volumes/FW%20Drive%20(G5)/ITunes%20Music/mp3/'Til%20Tuesday/Everything's%20Different%20Now/01%20Every thing's%20Different%20Now.m4a</string>
    to:
    <key>Location</key><string>file://localhost/Users/alfredo/Music/iTunes/iTunes%20Music/Music/'Til%20Tuesday/Everything's%20Different%20Now/01%20Everything's%20Different%20No w.m4a</string>
    It appears that iTunes stepped on my changes when it came up.
    Suggestions?
    Thanks

    I found the solution here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1449
    It did require a transfer of all my songs, but instead of me doing it, iTunes did it for me and reset itself to see them in the new location. No hand-editing of xml files required.

  • How do I change the location of my iTunes Library?

    I upgraded my iTunes to 8. This version creates a new library in C:users/myname/itunes/itunes music. I had my former library in an external HD, and I'm not able to use it as the Library to this version. Can someone provide me suggestions?

    You can change the location of your iTunes Library by doing a shift key start.
    Hold down the shift key and start iTunes. Keep holding down the shift key until you are prompted to choose a library.
    Navigate to the iTunes folder on your external drive and choose iTunes Library.itl.
    If you did not have you library databases on the external drive post back, giving the location of the iTunes Library.itl that you want to use and the location of your iTunes Music folder.

  • How can I change the location of the iPAD backup

    It is possible to change the location on the harddisk where iTunes is backuping the iPAD?
    Thanks

    are you looking to move the bloated Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup file?  i had this same problem (my iTunes points to an external drive, but the default Backup Profile is still stored locally, and with a 64GB iPhone, it's killing my hard drive.  here's what i found!
    there are several posts about this, none are apple sanctioned it appears, all work arounds.  read these:

    the last one has the most simple directions i think.  here's the direct link to his blog post (i can't take credit!)

    basically you will "Create a symbolic directory link using the mklink command".  no software to install, just a little dos editing.
    best of luck!
