Avi or wmv files wont automatically save (tick box option is not selectable)

avi or wmv files wont automatically save
(tick box option is not selectable)
i go to options
and select SAVE as the default for .avi and .wmv
FF always asks me what to do every time?
if i click save, the tick box option for 'always do this' is not selectable ?
How do i fix this so i can automatically download .avi and .wmv?
ie ........i click a link ..........it downloads......like other file types

Try this:
It works for ALL types of files!
# Save a small avi file on your harddisk
# Open Firefox
# Go to File | Open File ...
# Go to the file location and select it
# Click Open
# Now you see the small window named Opening …
# Click radio button Save
# Tick box “Do this automatically for files like this from now on.

  • Editing, then closing, automatically saves. No option to "not save?"

    (iPhoto 6.0.4) Is this a default feature? When I open a photo and do any editing, then double click it to reduce it to thumbnail size, iPhoto automatically saves what I did. Isn't there an option somewhere to tell it to just close but not save, or to "save as?" Any graphics apps that I use (Photoshop, Graphic Converter, etc.), always ask when I go to close the image whether I want to save what I was just doing. Not iPhoto. The only way I can figure to get around this is create a duplicate before experimenting with any edits. Any help? Thanks

    I'm holding out for someone to tell me of a preference adjustment or something that allows me to have that decision making.
    Don't hold your breath, because there isn't one. Your options are undo the changes you made or revert to the original as Smtr said.

  • Why am I not able to export NEF files to Photoshop from Lightroom to edit. This is new. When I right click on an image, the export to PS option is not selectable.

    Why am I not able to export NEF files to Photoshop from Lightroom to edit. This is new. When I right click on an image, the export to PS option is not selectable. I've never had this happen before. I haven't used it for a few weeks, so maybe there's an update (Mac or otherwise) that's screwing things up? HELP!

    I have an Edit In - Photoshop option, but not an Export - Photoshop option.
    Obviously to have right-click Edit In to work, the photo you're right-clicking on needs to be selected.  I assume this is not the problem, and that the photo is selected.
    Mavericks 10.9.3 has a problem where the Users folder is hidden, and you need to update iTunes to fix it, but it's been a few weeks since this happened so hopefully you're up-to-date and the Users folder isn't hidden anymore.
    If you can't get things to work, I'd uninstall LR and uninstall Photoshop, then install Photoshop, and update it, then install LR and update it, as a way to get any wayward security or other OS-level things reset.

  • Viewing avi and wmv files with QT 10.1 and OS 10.7.4

    In the last couple days, I think since I installed the last upgrade in the OS, my QT is 'unable to complete the process' of opening wmv files.
    Months ago, I think after I upgraded to Lion, QT stopped allowing me to view avi files.  The file opens, and I can scroll through the content, but to 'play' button doesn't work.  I can still view those files using DivX Player 8.2.2.
    These are all files that used to work just fine with QT.  Is there anything I can do to restore this functionality to QT?

    Use only QT 7 for those.
    Download and install (or re-install even if you already had them) the latest versions, suitable for your flavor of Mac and operating system, of:
    Flip4Mac WMV Player from  http://www.telestream.net/flip4mac-wmv/overview.htm  (Windows Media Player for the Mac is no longer supported, even by Microsoft)
    Perian from  http://perian.org/
    You should read this support page  http://perian.org/#support   in case you need to delete older codecs.  In Macintosh HD/Library/Quicktime/ delete any files relating to DivX (Perian already has them), particularly any DivX extension to Safari. However it should be noted that Perian is not an internet plugin and will not play DivX files imbedded on a website. For that you will need the DivX Player browser plugin available from  http://www.divx.com/en/software/mac

  • Why can't I get the "save as" option when I download a file, it automatically saves EVERYTHING to download folder.

    When I download a file, I used to get an option to "save as", instead of just save. If I download a file I like to immediately download it into the appropriate folder on my desktop (not just one folder.) Instead I have to download it, go into the downloads folder and move it. I do a lot of downloading for work and this is just an extra step that I find so annoying. Is there a way to change this, or and "add on" feature to get "save as" as an option? I get this option on Internet Explorer, but I do not like using IE :(

    P.S. Not sure if this is important, but I am using Windows 8 :(

  • How to automatically populate text boxes from dropdown and tick box options and then sum the results

    Firstly I need to say that I have no knowledge of how to use Javascript.
    I am using the 30 day trial of Adobe Acrobat XP Pro to see if it can be used for a Membership Application Form for the 1st year of membership. This 1st year  has a pro-rata membership fee per month left in the year of application along with a pro-rata postage fee for non-UK members. All of the input will be via basic text boxes with the exception of the application date and overseas postage for which I have created 3 dropdown boxes, one for Day, one for Month and one forYear and for the 2 tick boxes which are there for the applicant to say if they want 2 other options which have a cost attached to them.  I want to populate 2 text boxes from the Month lookup. One of these is for the pro-rata membership fee and the other for the pro-rata overseas postage. The other 2 optional items will be text boxes populated from the tick boxes. Having populated these 4 text boxes I then want to have them automatically summed to give the total to be sent by the applicant.
    I have searched many forums and tried many of the suggested ways of doing it and none of the 4 text boxes are populated.
    Are you able to help me with this?
    Many thanks

    The script solution provided is a "custom calculation JavaScript" not a "simplified field notation".
    The comment at the top of the code:
    // Custom calculate script for text field
    should help clarify the placement location for the code.
    Simplified field notation has a number of specific restrictions. One is that the provided data must be numeric data only.

  • FLIP AVI and WMV files

    FLIP is a new tiny pocket camcorder that produces good 640x480. It has software that places its videos on your computer as WMV or AVI files. The latter will not open in Premiere Elements 7, although earlier avi's did. What am I doing wrong? I believe the WMVs will open but am not sure. Does anybody have experience with Flip?
    Edwin M

    AVI is but a wrapper. It can contain all sorts of CODEC's. I recommend G-Spot (www.headbands.com/gspot) to see what is inside. Maybe some users of Flip can tell you, but G-Spot is invaluable.

  • How do I get PDF files to *automatically* save as the file name provided by the source?

    When I download a PDF file in Firefox, the file name changes from whatever name source used (e.g, important-report.pdf) to a miscellaneous group of characters (e.g., X2ba5zt.pdf). I often want to save the file using the 'source' name. I realize that can so do by changing the file name, but I would like to know if there is a way to set the default so that the source file name is used.

    I am not seeing that behaviour. If I right-click a link to a .pdf file, I get the file saved with the original filename.
    Maybe one of the settings in about:config controls that?
    pdfjs.previousHandler.preferredAction is a setting that has a value of 4 with my setup. I have no idea what that means, and I could not find any explanation anywhere. You could try using different numbers for that value and see if any make any difference. Why has nobody bothered to explain that setting anywhere?

  • Wmv file wont open

    i see it on my desk- itunes isnt haven it, i changed wmv to mp3, what next ?

    yes i am replying to myself in the form of a more precise question : i downloaded a music file from some bands website (not myspace)- it landed on my desktop calling itself " stolen_video-2.wmv" , upon dragging its file from desktop to itunes, it snaps back to desk- k- i get that so i change the tag from wmv to mp3 , it looks like it dissintegrates into itunes as it should, but then never shows itself,- when labeled aiff the apple suggests quicktime which states matter of factly that it cannot open... "end of file was reached
    (-39)"- curiously Get Info lists file size for all 3 tags as 60kb

  • Firefox won't save passwords; reminder option does not come up... on two different PCs in two different homes.

    Both PCs: XP PRO SP3; Seagate Barracuda HDs, routine environment for both, no games, Microsoft Office, Quicken, stuff like that. One is an ABIT 2.2 GHz clone; other is Compaq EVO 1.7GHz DT.... boring, boring, boring but both 3.50+ FF installations do same thing - Won't offer to save logons and PWs. Have done ALL, repeat ALL the usual TOOLS|OPTIONS stuff. Nothing, NADA, ZIP. Please help - suspect registry? - ABSOLUTELY!

  • Save for web and devices not selectable

    Hi, I cant seem to select the "save for web and devices" option in the 64 bit version of photoshop CS5, but it works on the regular version, and I never use the regular version, all my preferences are on the 64 bit version and too many have been changed for me to be comfortable to start using it instead of the 64 bit one. Is there a fix for this to work again?

    Hi there,
    If Silkrooster's suggestions don't help after verifying the image mode you are using, you may try to restore your Photoshop preferences. See the video below for easy-to-follow instructions:
    Julianne notes at the 5-minute mark that the second method she outlines will get rid of your color settings, keyboard shortcuts, workspace prefs, etc. This may affect the preferences you mentioned being accustomed to in your post, so please keep that in mind.
    If that doesn't solve your issue, either, you may need to troubleshoot User Permissions by following the instructions at one of the links below, depending on your OS:
    Macintosh: http://www.apple.com/findouthow/mac/#useraccounts (Be sure to change the “New Account:” pop-up from [Standard] to [Administrator] when creating the new user)
    Windows XP: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/404/kb404859.html
    Windows 7: http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/create-local-administrator-account-windows.html
    I hope this helps!
