Can I probably delete everything in my downloads file?

I've never deleted anything in there, and now there's a lot in there. Anything there I wanted, I've probably put somewhere else, right? So how do I physically delete, say, the earliest half of those old files? It's hard to select more than one...
Thank you.

Yes, you can drag them to the trash. Hold down the Command (Apple) key to select multiple files when clicking on them. If you want to get rid of everything in the folder, select Command-A.

  • I have an external server that stores all my movies and music, is there a way to stream it to my apple tv? If not is there a way I can link the folders to itunes (without downloading files to computer) and will that make them view-able for the apple TV?

    If none of that works is there a way to get it working alternativly?
    Additional Information:
    Everything is linked via ethernet cable.
    I'm using a PC to set it up.
    If you have any other questions feel free to ask and I'll help where I can.
    Thank you for any help

    (I think the daughter got he better end of the deal!)   I believe if you change the password and user id one of the devices it will stop that from occurring. But I'm not the one to tell you how to do it; someone like "Illaass" (Illaass seems to know how to correct / fix almost anything!) will know how if you don't. Just look for the "cat" icon.

  • HT4009 How can I remove/delete apps I have downloaded in iTunes?

    Hi,
    How can I remove/delete apps I have downloadedin iTunes?
    I have the Lite versions that I try and then buy the PRO version.
    Now all the LITE's are cluttering my account.
    Also some of the apps that I downloaded are not required/wanted now. Can I delete them?
    Thanks

    You can delete them from your computer's iTunes and/or from your device, but you can't currently permanently delete them from your purchase history, all you can do is hide them so that they are less visible : hiding and unhiding (the ability to hide items directly on a device doesn't appear to work in iOS 6)

  • How do I delete data from my Download file?

    I WANT TO DELETE THE DATA FROM MY DOWNLOAD FILE.

    In List view, hold shift to delete a range from the first one you click to the last one you click. Then hold down the command key and press delete and they will all go to the Trash as a group (no dragging needed).
    Be sure to "Empty Trash" to actually remove them.
    The command key can be used instead of Shift to 'pick and choose', adding each newly-clicked item to the developing group.

  • On certain emails that I am deleteing I receive a "Download File" {642BF550-4DC4-91C9-667541EE899D}.html. Does anybody know what this is or how to prevent it?

    I use Firefox for browsing and Outlook for email. On certain emails, I am unable to be more specific, I get a pop-up window "Download File" and I am asked if I want to Open, Save or Cancel the downloaded file. It identifies the file as:
    Firefox Document
    File Download
    [642BF550-4DC4-91C9-66754188899D}.html or it could be
    [642BF550-4DC4-9IC9-66754I88899D}.html.
    I have opened the file and it merely contains the word "Loading..." on the screen.
    I have no idea what it is. I do not know if I am supposed to ignore it, save it, etc. I do not know if it can corrupt my system.
    Please help me if you can.

    Have you tried "Run" instead of "Save?"
    Do you have anti-virus software on the PC? If you do, try disabling the anti-virus for just 15minutes to allow the download to finish.
    Hope one of those helps.

  • How can I run "office installermpkg" from my downloaded files in Finder?

    I successfully installed Microsoft Communicator from the download files in Finder. I then downloaded the office installer package but it won't run. I simply click on it and it takes me to more files, and so on.  Can anyone help? I'm a Mac newbie and am ready to throw in the towel!  The downloaded file is named "office installermpkg"  Thank you SO much for your help....

    From where are you downloading Office 2011? The download site is here. You don't have a legal installer.

  • Can't find "Delete all backups of this file " in Time Machine Actions

    I want to free up some space from Time Machine backups, but when I select the folders and go to "actions" the "Delete all backups of <this file>” command that others posters (here) refer to isn't in the Actions drop-down menu. I don't want to just drag them to Trash, but that's the only deletion option. Am I missing something?
    Brian

    Are you doing this via Time Machine, as detailed in #12 of Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions?
    If so, what options do you see?

  • Can I safely move to Trash all downloaded files from Downloads folder, for the purpose of freeing up storage space?

    My Downloads folder has reached 30GB. I am not sure why I keep adding files without ever cleaning up what's there. As a matter of fact, what's there can easily be re-downloaded from the web in case of need.
    Can I safely trash 100% of the content of my Downloads Folder?

    They're your files, so it's up to you whether to delete them or not. I personally don't tend to keep downloads if they are easily re-downloaded. (An exception might be a large download that for some reason may need to be reinstalled.)

  • How can I save an email as a download file rather than a file in my email

    I wish to save entire emails in a windows folder rather than in an email folder. I have tried hitting "save as" but although I get a message telling me the download is complete I cannot open the documents. Also, I am getting weird icons after I try to download thses emails on my desktop. I am not that familiar with Mozilla but was running IE for the longest time. Any help would be appreciated.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened

    '''File|Save As''' gives you several options. By default it will save as a .eml file, which will need an email client to view. You can usually save by drag-and-drop, but that creates an .eml file too.
    You can save as HTML by putting in an html file extension when doing File|Save As.
    This add-on:
    https://nic-nac-project.org/~kaosmos/mboximport-en.html
    gives you multiple options for saving one or more messages in various formats.

  • Can you block the guest account from downloading files?

    I need to setup the guest account so that it is able to use the internet, but is unable to download any type of file. i.e. pirated software, music, books, movies, etc. I would also like to disable eternal drives from mounting. My wife and I are looking at doing a coffee shop in a South East Asian country, and we heard that the local cops like to send somebody in and download illegal content and then come and confiscate your computer. So I want to be able to completely block all types of file downloads, and disable the use of usb drives etc.. Thanks

    I don't believe there is any way to prevent file downloading if you allow internet access at all. as Király says, whatever they download and install will be limited to the guest account and will go poof on the logout.
    however you can disable CD/DVD and external drives access. some of it can be done by enabling parental controls on the guest account. for more options you can install server admin tools
    http://support.apple.com/downloads/ServerAdmin_Tools_105
    and use workgroup manager to set further restrictions on the guest account.
    P.S. workgroup manager can also forbid guest to mount disk images which will effectively make it impossible to install any programs at all even in the guest account.

  • How can I make Firefox stop setting all downloaded files to "Share with nobody"?

    For the last few months, every file I download with Firefox has its homegroup share option set to "Share with nobody". All my user accounts are administrator level, I have the sharing set properly in the destination file, and I am using FF 27.0.1. I have set the "scan when done" and "save zone information" to false in about:config. I have always had FF set to ask me where to save a download every time, and I've only had this problem recently. A couple topics said that this would be fixed in 27, but it is not for me.

    The problem is created by using the temp folder, which is locked to the current user. Instead of copying the file from the temp folder, pasting to the desired download location, then deleting the file from the temp folder, Firefox uses a faster move command (when the destination is on the same drive as the temp folder). That move command does not rewrite the permissions to match the destination.
    I think someone tried to work around this by making the permissions on the temp folder more liberal, but I don't think that worked or at least I don't recall anyone proclaiming success with that. (I don't think it's possible to force Firefox to use a folder other than the system temp folder.)

  • Deleted folders reappear when downloading files

    This is very strange.  I have one folder on my desktop that I've deleted 100's of times.  When ever I download a file from the internet and asked where to save the file -  this one particular folder reappears on the desktop.
    Anyone experience this behavior before?

    OK - don't know how this will help the problem, but here's the folder in question.
