Any file opened/downloaded from Gmail auto saved to My Documents?

Upon further review of the My Documents section of my MBP's HD, it appears like thousands of items--from JPGs/Clip Art logos from docs/videos etc--were auto saved if I ever opened the doc or a doc with the clip art as part of the doc in my Gmail.  What's bizarre is that many of these docs were downloaded from or opened in Gmail when I used my old MacBook; I've never opened them since I bought the MBP. 
Does Gmail auto save this stuff to your HD?  If so, why?  These docs are not in my regular My Documents folder that I set up when I got the MBP, but an All Documents folder that appears to have collected everything.  Please help me understand what is going on--thanks!

1. Yes.
2. Because it displays search results from a large part of the storage available to the computer.
3. If you really want to, quit Safari and delete the Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari folder of the item in the Finder's sidebar with the house icon.

  • .xls file format - downloaded from Gmail, can't open in numbers

    I tried to open it using a 3rd party "conversion" program called icExcel.app which i found on the web. I saved the file as Appleworks 6 which is the file format the program offered which Numbers would open -- but it didn't work. Any experience? I don't know what version of .xls in office the file was saved in.

    Hi Ian Mcgrady,
    Welcome to Numbers Discussions.
    Is this file you're attempting to open a true MS Excel .XLS file? Or is it a Google web app? What message are you getting, what happens, are you attempting to open it over the web or off your desktop? The more information you can provide us the better someone will be able to assist you. I've been able to open XLS files without difficulty.
    Also, please be aware these discussion groups are users as yourself helping users.
    Again welcome to Numbers discussions.
    Sincerely,

    Oh my gosh I had the EXACT same problem, and for ages I couldn't figure out how to fix it until today. Here's what I did:
    First I went onto my computer, opened itunes, and un-installed tumblr, vine and kik. These were the apps I was having problems with (it said I had them on my phone but, like you, they didn't show).
    Then I went to the itunes store, searched for each one, and it said I could update them so I did (just FYI: for tumblr a window popped up saying "please click ok to confirm you are 17 years or older", so I did that also)
    When I went back to my phone and tried installing them again (still on my computer), it worked!
    I hope this helps, because it was incredibly frustrating. Good luck!

    Hi,
    Install the v10.6.6 combo update available here. It's ok to do this even though you are already running v10.6.6. The combo includes fixes that were not included in the original update.

    Restart your Mac and try the MAS again.
    You can download apps directly from the MAS once you have it running.
    Considering the TM backup took so long, make sure there's enough space on your Mac startup disk.
    Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon. Click Get Info. In the Get Info window you will see Capacity and Available. *Make sure you always have a minimum of 15% free disk space.*

  • Problem in Font when file is downloaded from query output

    Hi,
    We are facing a problem as we are not able to simulate a scenario at our end where a file is downloaded from a query. The snapshot of the file which is downloaded in excel is shown below. The name displayed below has special characters in it. The actual value for the name is VÁRADI GÁBORNÉ, but when the file is downloaded into excel, the special characters get converted to some different characters and the last character ie É gets converted to “?” and the values for the next column get concatenated to the Name 1 column and all the values move one column left.
    Sold to     Cl     Name 1                                      Sal.per.     Sales doc.
    57983     CD     V罵ADI G罛ORN?00002110       2150451     
    57983     CD     V罵ADI G罛ORN?00002110       2150451     
    The procedure used by the user to download the file from the query is as follows:
    1.     The query is executed in background with file name entered in Save with ID option
    2.     After the job is complete, the file is displayed from the saved list of that query.
    3.     This saved list is then downloaded as .DAT file and then opened with excel.
    Any pointers to solve the problem will be highly appreciated.
    Regards,
    Kaushal Mehta

    Hi,
    There is no problem of device type as when we are testing the query with the same inputs (same variant, same printer), the output to the excel comes correctly. But at the user end, the output does not come out properly. Infact the saved list displayed for that query shows the output to be correct, but when that list is exported to excel, the output gets distorted for the user (not for us).
    Thanks for your inputs,
    Kaushal

  • Opening PDFs from gMail account in iBooks

    I've previously opened PDFs from gMail messages using iBooks but today, for some unknown reason, I cannot open any new PDF file attachment larger than 200k.
    iPod Touch 8GB (2nd generation) using iOS4.1- Still have 5.7GB available so I'm not sure why certain size files won't open.
    I've even tried using Safari w/ gMail account - In both cases, as soon as I try to open the PDF attachments w/ iBooks, the display drops out without transferring to Ibooks as it used to do.

    Tried resetting - No joy.
    When I tried to open the attachment w/ "iBooks", the iPod switched to iBooks and an "Untitled" file showed on the bookshelf momentarily then the display dropped out and returned to the "Home" screen. No joy there.
    Even tried opening w/ "Quick Look" - Again, no joy. Just a dropout and back to the "Home" screen.
    Looks like I may have to do a total reset - Now iBooks loads w/ "Untitled" file displaying and then the display drops w/ a return to the home screen - In the process of total reset as I write this - Will update after I do a restore. - Its going to take at least 2 hours for reset/restore operation.

  • I cant upload any file to internet from MacBook ?

    Hi evreone
    I cant upload any file to internet from mac (safari or firefox)
    I can't upload for example photo to Facebook and attachments file to any web site
    When I open the window to choose which files
    I can not select the files appear transparent

    Hi! So I had the same problem... I don't know if you still have it but here goes a possible solution: When you open the window to select the file, at left side of the folder selector you will see a view option. Select it and choose "None".
    Like this:
    I hope this will help you :-)

  • Adobe pdf won't download from gmail in internet explorer or firefox

    What happens when you try to download (not open, just download?)

  • Where could I find the file been download from mail?

    Where could I find the file been download from mail?

    Unless you've got an app that supports the file type, and you've used Mail's 'open in' function (by holding the attachment and selecting where to store/copy the file), then the file/attachment will only be attached to the email itself in the Mail app.

  • I upgraded to Firefox 8.0.1 on may MacBook OSX 10.6.8 and not all files I download from my Outlook Web app are ashx file, not what they were originally sent in. How do I change this ?

    I have just upgraded to Firefox 8.0.1 on may MacBook (10.6.8) and now all files I download from my Outlook Web app labeled attachment.ashx, not as they were originally sent (.docx, .pdf, etc). How do I change this back?

    I'm going to back up to Firefox 7 next. I'm getting the drift that 8.0.1 and/or flash on 8.0.1 are unstable.
    I'll let you know if that solves this problem.
    NOPE. This had no effect.

  • Files recently downloaded from Canon Legeria FS306 do not play the audio. Can hear audio on camera or downloading same files to a PC. Also hear audio on earlier files downloaded from same camera to iMovie '11. How do I avoid problem & recover lost audio?

    Files recently downloaded from Canon Legeria FS306 to iMovie '11 do not play the audio. I can still hear audio on the camera or by downloading the same files to a PC. Can also hear audio on earlier files downloaded from the same camera to iMovie '11. How do I avoid this problemand recover lthe ost audio?

    The first thing to try is to run Software Update (the Update tab in the Mac App Store.). This was an issue a couple of releases ago, and an update seemed to fix it.
    If you are already at the most recent version of iMovie, then I don't know how to solve you issue. Maybe someone else will have some ideas.

    Hello,
    The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information such as bookmarks and history.
    Note: ''But this will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
    To Reset Firefox do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
    #Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
    #Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
    #Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
    Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.
    Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
    Thank you.

  • File open/download dialog box flashes on the screen, then disappears.

    I am upgrading to Firefox 17 (from 3.5.2) on Linux SuSE SLED 10. I am only moving to Firefox 17, as SLED 10 does not support anything higher than that and it is not feasible to upgrade my entire my OS.
    My issue is that when clicking on a file on a website, the file dialog box (open with/save) flashes on the screen for a split second then disappears. For items that I have handled by specific applications in mimeTypes.rdf, it does the specified action. However, any file type that I have designated in mimeTypes as "alwaysAsk", I get this issue. I do not have this issue in FF 3.5.2 and I have gone as far as using my 3.5.2 mimeTypes.rdf and prefs.js files on my 17 install and it does not help.
    I have looked through many forums and have not been able to determine how to fix this or whether it is fixable in 17.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
