A downloaded file is supposed to be saved in a folde, but it is not there.

I downloaded a file, my preferences show it should be saved in a certain folder, when I go to that folder it is not there.. Please help

Please do the following. 
#In the location bar at the top, type '''about:config''' and hit Enter. 
#In the filter at the top, copy/paste the following setting: '''browser.download.manager.scanWhenDone''' 
#Then double click it to change the setting from "True" to '''''False'''''. 
#Then close Firefox via File | Exit and restart it again. 
#Finally, go download a file again, right click it and choose "Open Containing Folder". Should be in the folder it was downloaded to.
Incidentally, your Flash installation is seriously out of date and a security risk as is Java too.

I had the geek squad from bestbuy supposedly install iphoto 11 on my mac but it is not there and when i try to download it it say the app has been download by another user on this machine. What do i need to do get get this app on my system? If they could not do it right the first time I do not have much faith in their advice.

Assuming you've done a system wide search for it including the Applications folder and it's not there......
I think you will need to address this with them - did you pay them for the application? Or was your purchase price to include it? And the question(s) to ask them:
If the app store states that it has been downloaded, ask them where it is and which Apple ID they used. (the store keeps track of Apple IDs and machine IDs on everything you download).
I have absolutely no faith in their advice; however, in this case, it's not so much technical advice, but an answer to your questions: you paid for something and it appears not to be there.

When I try to import .olm files from my external hard drive back up, where do they go? It says on different forums they go to the "on my computer" folder but they are not there.
I go through all the instructions but then my emails do not appear. I'm starting to panic a bit!

You might want to try asking on the MS Office Outlook forum - http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/mac/forum/macoutlook - since those are Outlook files.
Also note which method you're using to create a backup.

In Firefox 4 how can I cause the date on downloaded files to be the current date? (Some are and some are not. In FF3 the dates were ALWAYS the current ones.)

In Firefox 4 how can I cause the date on downloaded files to be the current date? (Some are and some are not. In FF3 the dates were ALWAYS the current ones.)
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I upgraded to Firefox 4 (beta)

Firefox 3.6.* and earlier set the downloaded file's modification time to the current time. In Firefox 4.0 the behavior has been changed, if a server returns a timestamp telling when the file was last modified (Last-Modified header), it is used instead.
You can revert to the previous behaviour by using the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/93121/ Download Timestamp] add-on.

Also, once you successfully install, please backup the install file to a separate HD and/or CD. I agree that your comment is not clear. You say you installed it, but it is simply in the download folder. Did you run the install file that you downloaded? The download does not install the program, but the install is an extra step.

Back up your iPhoto library, Depress and hold the option (alt) and command keys and launch iPhoto - rebuild your iPhoto library database

You need to contact Adobe Support either by chat or via phone when you have serial number and activation issues.

Just bought a new computer and downloaded itunes again and when I log in all my old music is not there. I created a new playlist but it won't sinq to iphone without erasing all my other songs.

I just bought a new computer and set it up. Downloaded itunes again and logged in; however, all of my old content is not there. I just created a new playlist and want to sinq it to my phone but get a message saying it will delete all of my old songs. Please help

These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
Method 1
Backup the library with this User Tip.
Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
Method 2
Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
If you have an iOS device that syncs with contact & calendar data on your computer you should migrate this information too. If that isn't possible create a dummy entry of each type in your new profile and iTunes should offer to merge the existing data from the device into the computer, otherwise the danger is that it will wipe the information from the device.
If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library, or a backup of it, then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data. If you don't have any Apple devices then see HT2519 - Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store.

I have Adobe Photoshop Elements 8 for Windows 7. I need to re-install it because my computer crashed. I saved the outer box, but I do not see a serial number and it is asking for it when I am trying to install the CD software. I went online, but the only serial number I see is when I registered the Photoshop Elements 2.0.

The serial number will be on the disc case, not the outer box. Find your serial number quickly

I am getting the PowerPC applications are no longer supported error, so I downloaded Libreoffice and can not find it on my hard drive anywhere. It did say install to Applications but it's not there. How do I find it and can I put it in my dock?

In Safari's preferences:
Look in the folder displayed where you see the arrow. The actual Downloads folder is found in your Home (user) folder.

How do my boss and I share documents via iCloud? I log in as her to download a Pages doc, edit, then save to iCloud again but it does not save to hers. Even if I'm logged in as her.

Thanks in advance!

This only works if you add her account as your primary accoun on your device and enable syncing "Documents & Data" in "Settings >iCloud".

Hi jandroantonio,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like your iPhone update may not have completed succesfully. Not to worry, we have an article with information on how to treat this symptom:
iOS: Unable to update or restore

Hey, I wanna download Lion for free, so i need UP-TO-DATE , but it do not works , please help

I think you misunderstood the guy. The up-to-date program isn't working for a lot of people. I'm eligible for the free upgrade but it fails to recognise my serial. From what I've read, this is affecting a lot of people who purchased their computers online. Apple seems to be fixing the issue though, so my advice would be to keep trying. Alternatively, click on the manual verificaton link so they can check your order for you and send the redemption code after they do.

Trying to download additional content for Logic Pro X. My download status is 26.6 GB of 26.6 GB, but Logic will not move any further, not matter what I do. Any suggestions?

Thanks rhoydotp,
The download was actually the successful part! I had no issues with it timing out or anything. My problem was the actual install, after the download was complete. The installer just stopped about a quarter of the way up on "Alternative Kits" and never made it to any of the other kits. I think I'll try installing them one at a time like you said, and see what happens. Hopefully it works!
