Can't clear a file that keeps on dowloading from the download manager

I clicked a link (linking to a .jpeg) in an e-mail for something I purchased thinking it was an extra to the purchase, but afterwards I realised it was just an Image to accompany the e-mail.
The problem is I can't clear the download from the download manager and everytime Firefox starts it makes a connection to download the file. I tried clicking the "x" next to the download but this just paused the download. I have also tried clicking "Clear Downloads" in the download Library but this didn't help.
How can I remove this file from the download manager ?
Thank you

Hey philipp, thanks for your answer! I wasn't aware it was a bug with the beta. I voted for it to be fixed.
Thanks!

  • Where can I find files that I have dowloaded from the internet

    I have tried many times to open pdf or other type of files in attachments to email and from the internet. However I am never able to actually find (much less open) these files. Can anyone tell me where they are stored and how to access them? I will not be able to connect to my computer so I am wonderig if this can be done via Pre? Thanks for any help you can provide. Also wherever these are stored cwill they effect my available memory?

  • I am trying to download a very large tarball ( 100 GB) but I can't open tha archive. I am wondering if the download manager may be truncating the file.

    I downloaded a large .tar file (should be over 100 GB) and tried to unpack it with 7zip, but I got an error message saying "Can not open file 'X.tar' as archive." I am trying to download it again in case it was just a random corruption or something, but since I have a few hours to kill, I was wondering if the problem may be that there is a limit to the size of files the download manager will handle.

    Hi Salmonarm, <br/>Sorry no one replied earlier, you have probably solved the problem yourself by now.
    I am not aware of any Firefox limitations on download size.
    Are there any systems available for checking for corruption. Often downloads have hash values that can be used to check.
    Also do you know the compressed file size, does it appear to have downloaded fully.
    Are you running into limitations due to available folder or file size on your drive or file system.

  • Recovering files that have been emptied from the trash

    Is ther any way to recover files that you have sent to the trash, which you have subsequently emptied? Third party software? I accidentally trashed my entire iphoto library.
    B&W G3   Mac OS X (10.2.x)  

    If your photo library is on your startup volume, and if you've continued to use the startup volume since deleting the files, then your chances of recovery may be very small. Once files are deleted the operating system may use the space occupied by the deleted files when it writes new data to the drive. The more new data written to the drive the greater the probability that your old files will be overwritten. Once overwritten they cannot be recovered.
    If you hope to maximize recovery then you need to immediately shut the computer off or boot from a different drive and stop using the drive on which the deleted files are located.

  • I can not open a file that has been converted from a PDF to a .doc.  I have a one year subscription to PDF Pack.

    I click on the tool to convert my pdf file to a .doc file.  When the program writes it is finished and I can down load the document, I do so.  Even though the converted file is listed as a .doc or docx, neither Microsoft Word nor OpenOffice can open it.  What is going wrong?
    I also click to be able to edit my pdf document, but no commands to edit it come up.  Am I doing something wrong?

    Hi ktewksbu,
    I don't think you're doing anything wrong. What is the file size of the converted document (and the filename extension)? Do you have the same issue with any file that you try to convert? Or is the problem specific to one file?
    As for editing a PDF file, that requires Acrobat. (Adobe Reader lets you comment on a PDF, but  not alter its content).
    Best,

  • Can you restore a user file that has been deleted from the home folder?

    Unfortunate series of events happened because of a wacky Mavericks install. I'm pretty sure the answer is no.

    If you have a backup, yes. If not, no - unless to get some data recovery software or service ($$) which may or may not be able to recover anything.

  • Is it possible to retrieve files that have been emptied from the trash such

    I accidently trashed and emptied my password folder and my itunes library., Is there any wat to recover the info - thank you

    In the future consider keeping backups.
    Basic Backup
    Get an external Firewire drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
    1. Retrospect Desktop (Commercial - not yet universal binary)
    2. Synchronize! Pro X (Commercial)
    3. Synk (Backup, Standard, or Pro)
    4. Deja Vu (Shareware)
    5. PsynchX 2.1.1 and RsyncX 2.1 (Freeware)
    6. Carbon Copy Cloner (Freeware - 3.0 is a Universal Binary)
    7. SuperDuper! (Commercial)
    8. Intego Personal Backup (Commercial)
    9. Data Backup (Commercial)
    The following utilities can also be used for backup, but cannot create bootable clones:
    1. Backup (requires a .Mac account with Apple both to get the software and to use it.)
    2. Toast
    3. Impression
    4. arRSync
    Apple's Backup is a full backup tool capable of also backing up across multiple media such as CD/DVD. However, it cannot create bootable backups. It is primarily an "archiving" utility as are the other two.
    Impression and Toast are disk image based backups, only. Particularly useful if you need to backup to CD/DVD across multiple media.
    Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQs on maintenance, optimization, virus protection, and backup and restore. Also read How to Back Up and Restore Your Files.
    Although you can buy a complete FireWire drive system, you can also put one together if you are so inclined. It's relatively easy and only requires a Phillips head screwdriver (typically.) You can purchase hard drives separately. This gives you an opportunity to shop for the best prices on a hard drive of your choice. Reliable brands include Seagate, Hitachi, Western Digital, Toshiba, and Fujitsu. You can find reviews and benchmarks on many drives at Storage Review.
    Enclosures for FireWire and USB are readily available. You can find only FireWire enclosures, only USB enclosures, and enclosures that feature multiple ports. I would stress getting enclosures that use the Oxford chipsets (911, 921, 922, for example.) You can find enclosures at places such as;
    Cool Drives
    OWC
    WiebeTech
    Firewire Direct
    California Drives
    NewEgg
    All you need do is remove a case cover, mount the hard drive in the enclosure and connect the cables, then re-attach the case cover. Usually the only tool required is a small or medium Phillips screwdriver.

  • How can I errase email address that i already erase from the address book

    How can I erase old email addresses that I already erase them from my contacts, and keep appearing on the "TO:" line, when I want to send an email?

    Go to Mail menu > window > Previous recipients > where you can delete previous contacts to your heart's delight.
    Then, in the same menu > window > Address panel will allow you to remove others by their places in particular groups.
    PS  Please do not post the same message more than once.   It can cause confusion.   I have mentioned your previous message to the hosts, who may remove it.

  • URGENT-CREATE A HTML FILE WITH AN STRING INPUT FROM THE RUNNING JSP

    I am designing a web page where the user enters a page after entering his/her login and password.The User should now be provided with a display page containing the servers that he has permissions for access.The servers that he has permissions are maintained in a database(a normal text file in UNIX).
    Till now the program has been complete for displaying the servers that are available to him.
    I need to create a HTML form containing these servers names in a check box so that when the user clicks thcheck box against the server name it should go to the server and get the password for the required server.
    THe intention from me is to create a HTML file that dynamically takes values from the running JSP means the server names as a string value to its input and then i can continue
    Please guide me in creating a HTML form based on the string output from the running JSP
    FileInputStream fs = new FileInputStream("/root/Auth_Application/User_Access_List");
    DataInputStream in1 = new DataInputStream(fs);
    int fl=0;
    while (in1.available() !=0)
    String str1=in1.readLine();
    StringTokenizer st1 = new StringTokenizer(str1);
    String usernam=st1.nextToken();
    if (usernam.equals(uname))
    String ip=st1.nextToken();
    String host=st1.nextToken();
    fl=1;
    out.println("<tr><td>                                                                                              "+ host + "</td><td> " + ip +"</td></tr>");
    if (fl == 0)
    out.println("YOU HAVE NO SEVRER IN YOUR PROFILE !");
    in1.close();
    The host string here is the server name
    the ip is the ip address of the server
    Need to input these values to another HTML page that contains the check box list of the servers .
    once these are clicked i think i can pass on this to another JSP and retreive passwords
    Please guide me in this

    FileInputStream fs = new FileInputStream("/root/Auth_Application/User_Access_List");
                                    DataInputStream in1 = new DataInputStream(fs);
                                    int fl=0;

                                    String str1=in1.readLine();
                                    StringTokenizer st1 = new StringTokenizer(str1);
                                    String usernam=st1.nextToken();
                                    if (usernam.equals(uname))
                                    String ip=st1.nextToken();
                                    String host=st1.nextToken();

                                    if (fl == 0)
                                    out.println("YOU HAVE NO SERVER IN YOUR PROFILE !");
                                    in1.close();I feel sorry for the inconvenience that is caused as i am new to using these forums.
    I have here used a simple program to retreive the names of the servers that the users have acess to..
    I have here read the servername and server ip stored from a file in UNIX in the running JSP.Now i need to pass these string variables to HTML file and display it in a Check box format.the strings host and ip have to be passed to the input of the HTML file so that they can further be processed once they are clicked using another JSP.
    Can anybody please help me in Passing these strings from the running JSP and display it in a check box format

  • Where is the file that keeps track of which mail items were open?

    Searching for the file that keeps track of which mail items were open- sometimes it suddenly is shorter, forgets some of the items of mail that was open, in my 'in box' as it were.
    just happened to me- 15 emails I wanted to keep open till I answered them are now lost back in the mail stack
    any idea where i can find that, retrieve from a backup done last week?
    any trick to fixing this problem?
    hope so
    i gotta track down some of those emails, will be a huge chore to do it one by one
    thanks

    any idea where i can find that, retrieve from a backup done last week?
    Good luck with that; it's not likely to happen.
    any trick to fixing this problem?
    You could just reply to the email right away, rather than putting it off until later, whenever "later" happens to be. Or, you could also put your emails that have not yet been replied to in a separate folder, and move them out into your Inbox when you have replied.

  • Since the last update I can't get to files that I have up loaded to ITunes on my IPad in pages

    Since the last update I can't get to files that I have up loaded to ITunes on my IPad in pages

    The people trying to help are just other users like yourself & respond as they can & have the knowledge. I saw your post yesterday, but I was traveling & couldn't answer.
    It is not at all clear what you have tried. Launch Pages on your iPad & tap the "+" to get the options to add documents then tap the iTunes icon. If you have added any Pages documents to iTunes you can then tap on it in the next screen to add it to Pages.

    There is another option if the Macbook will start up in Target Disk Mode.
    Restart the computer while holding down the T key. If you see the firewire symbol moving around on the screen you can connect this one to another one in TDM. You will need a suitable cable to connect the two Macs.
