Can't save attachments to selected folder

I've just started using BT Yahoo email, as my LiveMail is kaput, and I find I can't download an attachment to a selected folder. When I click on the file, I'm given merely the generic option to 'Save to computer'. (See screen shot.) This just sends the file to my Download folder where it gets lost among 1001 other files. What am I doing wrong?
Solved!

Check your browser settings - e.g. Firefox defaults to 'Save files to Downloads' folder without prompting, but can be changed to 'Always ask me where to save files'. What browser are you using?

Can't save pictures on original folder position after edit...since I'm upgraded to IOS7 on IPad2.

can't save pictures on original folder position after edit, get save popup to save at different position, also still on toubles to get them back to original folder positon since I'm upgraded to IOS7 on IPad2.

I say the problem is probably noted, and probably will be resolved. Not that i can speak for Apple. I find the "problems" of wallpaper to be pretty minor compared to the advantages of iOS 7. The fun of wallpaper has always been pretty insignificant here.

Email attachments: whenever someone sends me a file the Ipad labels it winmail.dat and wont allow me to open it...these are Word, Exce or jpgs. Does anyone know why this is and how to fix it? Also, how can you save attachments to a file on the IPad2

Is this a particular sender, or all of your attchments? Google winmail.dat and you will see a number of returns that can explain this, but in short, this is the way some e mail providers deal with attachments. If all of your e mail is coming that way, you need to change a setting on your isp set up. Perhaps stary here...

HT5824 Can I use only one (selected) folder from my documents in iCloud?

Can I use only one (selected) folder from my documents in iCloud for MAC and PC?

If the folders were created in the Photos app on the iPad, they don't really contain copies of the photos. They contain pointers to those photos that allow them to appear in the albums that you create. Consequently, they cannot be imported to the computer. Those albums are for local organization on the iPad only And cannot be imported.
You should be able to select the indicidual phots that you want to import, as far as I know. I can do it on a Mac using iPhoto or Image Capture, so I assume that Windows will allow you to pick and choose which photos you want to import.

I can't save downloads to documents folder, only to desktop...

Only desktop saves are allowed. The message states, "Word cannot save or create this file. This disk may be full or write protected..." The disk isn't full, so I'm not sure what to do. I'm having to save everything to the desktop and then move files into document folders in Finder. Any advice on how to save directly to documents or what may be wrong? Thanks so much!.

Back up all data now.
This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
Step 1
If you have more than one user account, and the one in question is not an administrator account, then temporarily promote it to administrator status in the Users & Groups preference pane. You can demote it back to standard status when this step has been completed.
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Drag or copy — do not type — the following line into the Terminal window, then press return:
sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR.. ; sudo chown -R $UID:20 ~ $_ ; chmod -R -N ~ $_ 2> /dev/null
Be sure to select the whole line by triple-clicking anywhere in it. You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. You don't need to post the warning. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command.
The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2
Boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at startup. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select Utilities ▹ Terminal from the menu bar. A text window opens.
In the Terminal window, type this:
resetpassword
That's one word with no spaces. Then press return. A Reset Password window opens. You’re not going to reset a password.
Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select  ▹ Restart from the menu bar.

Can't save files to Last Folder Used

I'm scanning items with a Kodak iQsmart3, running under Kodak's oXYgen 2.6.1 scan application. Late last week, the application suddenly stopped saving files to the last folder used. Now I have to re-select the destination folder for each scan.
I have rebooted the computer several times, and have also re-installed the scan application, but nothing helps the problem. It seems now that the problem may be with OS 10.4.11. I've searched and searched for a solution within the OS, but can't find anything that helps.
Does anyone have a suggestion on how to proceed? Is there a place where you can check to see if the saving options can be changed?

Thanks for your suggestion. However, I did as you advised and still cannot save files to the last folder used, as I used to be able to do.
This is the first time in the 2 1/2 years I've been using this system that I've had any trouble with it. When I opened Disk Utility, it showed me the size and type of three different drives, all identical in manufacture. The first holds the Operating system, and the other two are set up in a Raid Striped set. I selected Macintosh HD under the name of the first drive, since that's the name of the disk on my desktop, and ran the Repair Permissions function, moving the recentitems.plist file to the desktop and rebooting, as per your instructions. Was that the proper area to use or should I have selected the disk description above that?
(Below is the disk information from the Disk Utility application)
Disk Description : Hitachi HDS725050KLA360 Media Total Capacity : 465.8 GB (500,107,862,016 Bytes)

How can I save attachments with encoding of iso-2022-jp?

If attachments have iso-2022-jp encoding, they are not saved, and no warnings or error messages are output.
Saving the entire email, and opening it in Kmail, I'm able to save the attachment.
Running up to date Fedora 21, with thunderbird 31.4.0.

Hey Del...
That sounds promising but I'm trying to get 3000 emails _off_ my machine, so can that exported mailbox be set up with folders for specific clients or types of business so that I can dump all the emails into the correct folders and then export it completely? And when I want to retreive a particular client's emails, do I have to retreive the entire mailbox and restore it on my iMac or can I selectively go to "Client Mailbox2011/SmithPlumbing" and just see all the emails to/from Smith Plumbing? If that can be done... I think we have a winner. I might have to do it by year so I'd have multiple exported mailboxes and a way to keep current (2014) client email correspondence separate.
I hope you say yes LOL. Then you give me some tips on HOW to do that!!!

Changed Outlook Contact Form back to IPM.Contact - now I can't save contact in Public Folder

I recently changed the Contact form that we were using back to the default IPM.Contact. I did this so that it would be consistent for only a few of us had a custom contact template to use and it made it difficult to share contact information. After
changing the contact default back to IPM.Contact and changing all the contacts to reflect the default Message class, no can add a contact to the Public Folder contact file. I have tried several different setting for the permsion. Publishing Author, Publish
Editor, Owner, it still gives the error
The item cannot be saved to this folder. The folder was deleted, or you do not have permission. Do you want to save a copy of it in the degfualt folder for the item.
When I changed the form back to IPM.Contact i ran the omglass.exe to change it on all the contacts in the public folder.
Please advise for no contacts can now be added to our company contact list

Hi,
Please right-click this public folder, click Properties. In the General tab, make sure the field of "When posting to this folder, use" is set to IPM.Contact.
Please restart Outlook with Outlook /checkclient switch(Start > Run > type Outlook /checkclient and enter) to have a try. If it fails, please create a new Outlook profile to have a try:

I can't save bookmarks to the folder I want, they all go to "recent bookmarks"

as ive browsed your FAQ database for a solution to this specific question, you seem to give automated answers for us. WE WANT THE OLD BOOKMARK TAB BACK! where you can choose the folder/place where to save the bookmark in question.
What is it that makes you not understand this?
i couldnt give a c**p about your "intellligent bookmark folder" it just doesnt do the things it is supposed to.
As it seems to me that you have gone and tried ti fix something that was already working, i assure you, stop before you make it even worse.
If on the other hand you do not give a sufficient answer, i am going to uninstall firefox from all my computers and revert back to using Internet explorer.
happy new year

I did not have a star. When I clicked on the bookmark tab the list of bookmarks appeared, and one item in the list was "bookmark this page". When I clicked on that, a window appeared that let me choose which folder to place the bookmark in.

When saving a bookmark, only three of my folders are shown, though I have many ... how can I save into a different folder?

I have several different bookmark folders, but when I want to save into one of them only three are shown ... always the same three, and no apparent reason for only these to be chosen. I cannot get the complete list by using the right-hand down arrow, and "choose" doesnt show any of my own folders, only Unsorted Bookmarks and Bookmarks Menu. I have to save the bookmark into unsorted, then move it into the desired folder. How can I do this in one step?

Can't delete, open or select folder in sidebar

I cannot open, select or delete a folder in my sidebar. Every other folder works. It doesn't even show up in my spotlight search. Any clue? I'd like to get rid of it, but I'd also like to see what is inside first. Here's a pic of the folder I can't activiate. It's called Desktop_new

Go to ~/Library/Preferences.
Move the com.apple.sidebarlists.plist file to the Trash.
Restart your Mac.
~ (Tilde) represents your Home folder.

Can I send attachments to select recipients only?

Does anyone know of a way to send an email to two or more people, but restrict who receives any attachments? Sometimes I need to send preliminary documents out for review, and copy my boss so he'll know the status. However, he doesn't want to receive the attachments.
I realize that I can simply forward the email to my boss after the fact (minus the attachment). However, it's often more effective to copy him on the original email so that the reviewer will know that he's in the loop.
Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!

None that I'm aware of.

Proble reading document (109) can't save attachments

I am having a problem saving a document, the error message is says that there is a problem reading the document (109) - I deleted Adobe Acrobat 8, because I have 6.0 at work and need to edit forms.

>I am having a problem saving a document, the error message is says that there is a problem reading the document (109)
You're going to have to be a bit more specific.
For instance, I have no idea what you are using to open the PDF's. Acrobat, Reader or even which version.
Are you having problems opening the PDF or saving the PDF?
Is it a form or do you want to create a form?
>I deleted Adobe Acrobat 8, because I have 6.0 at work and need to edit forms.
I'm not sure what that even means or why you would do that.

When I send an email -error message says can't save in folder

my sent emails don't save in the sent folder. When I click send for a new email ... I get an error message that says it can't save to the sent folder. Just started using TB yesterday.

I have a similar problem, except my progress bar never ends. The last thing I should read is message to saved in sent folder. If I close the window, the message does not appear in the sent folder. I have to tell you I have been using Thunderbird for several years now. As of yesterday, it was working fine. Now it isn't and this has left me scratching my head.
