Can't see downloading in process on my desktop.

I took the steps to do free download of os x mavericks on my macbookpro os 10.7.5 and it looked as if the download was starting. However, that soon disappeared from my desktop and there is no indication that it is downloading. Is it still downloading and how will I know when it is finished. It's been more than an hour.

It is a 5+ GB file and depending on your Internet connection speed, the download can take awhile. It downloads into your Applications folder and normally if you check the down you can monitor the download progression.

If your launchpad icon is displayed on your dock, you should see a status bar underneath it showing download progress.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
That's normal. You have to set up Finder to show external drives on Desktop.
To do this, open a Finder window, go to Finder menu (on the menu bar) > Preferences > General, and mark "External disks"

Can't See Downloaded PDFs in Safari 3.0.4

Installed 10.4.11 over 10.4.10 using software update. Safari 3.0.4 set to show downloaded PDFs in a Safari Window. Adobe Reader 7.0.9 set to show PDFs in Browser Window. Safari correctly opens a new window as the PDF download begins. All seems to work fine until the moment Safari is about to display the downloaded PDF in the Safari window. At that instant, the Safari window turns completely dark gray and you can't see the PDF at all. The whole content area of the window turns dark gray. I grabbed Safari 2.0.4 from my backup and tried it. Same result. I reinstalled Adobe Reader from scratch. Same result.
This is critical here. We have to view PDFs all day.
It all worked fine under 10.4.10.
Any ideas?

Thanks. We can now see PDFs after installing Adobe Reader v8 as you recommend. But we sure miss the user interface of Reader v7 ! The user interface of Reader v8 will take some getting used to.
Would be nice if Apple documented the dependency/requirement somewhere, no????

New computer, can't see downloaded songs in iTunes

I have a new computer, IBM thinkpad and when I hooked up my ipod to the newly downloaded ITunes it recognized my ipod (name and all!) but I can't see my songs in the itunes window. I have hit "sync" it shows updating, but my songs still don't appear in the window.
The songs are ok on the ipod, at least i didn't delete them as i've done in the past!
Help!!!!

Just hit the arrow to the left side of the ipods name
in iTUnes, then select "Music" under the ipods name
That did it!!! Thank you so much!

Can't see download progess

I cannot see download progress in Firefox 20.0.1 I click the arrow to see progress and nothing happens. What's wrong? It was a big download and the progress bar was there and it was not done. Nothing happens when I click Show All Downloads. It was working until this evening.I have made no changes to my pc this evening.
Also I cannot login to the support page nor reset my password so it's impossible to have an account with support. I had to create a new account 3 times before it would accept my password. I won't accept anything on the other accounts or accept any password reset. I asked this question with another account name, but can't respond because of the password problem. I am sure I am typing correctly and following the rules for password creation.

Downloads as seen in the new Download Manager are history items. 
So if you do not see them the you may have lost your history somehow.
You can try if they are still in the classic Download Manager that stores its data in the downloads.sqlite file instead of the places.sqlite that stores history and bookmarks.
You can set the Boolean pref browser.download.useToolkitUI to true on the about:config page to restore the classic Download Manager window and make all download settings appear in "Tools > Options > General".
You can check the browser.download.manager.retention pref to make sure that it has the default value (2: manual).

Can't see 2 disks icons on the desktop

Hi!
I have an external HD called loumel that I can't see on my desktop anymore when I plug it in.
I also have a new Palm LifeDrive that does not show up on the desktop when in drive mode.
I have tried a few of the tricks that Francine discusses in here: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=865694&tstart=0
but it does not seem to work, although I am not familier with Terminal or Scripts.
Thanks.
Louis

Yes, it is the Go->Go to Folder... that I am talking about. It should work even without the folder:
/Volumes/loumel/
and the drive's root window would open, IF the problem is the one where the invisible bit is set. If there is something else that is wrong then it won't work. The error in the Applescript about "NSReceiverEvaluationError" is what you get if you run the script when the drive is not mounted.
If you updated to 10.4.9 that could be the source of the problem. A number of people who updated their systems discovered the system was no longer seeing their external drives after the update.

Can't see 'Download Firefox' banner on my blog?

I've used the HTML for a 'Download Firefox' banner on several Blogger blogs. They were displaying and working correctly last night but are not now visible to me, although a friend says he can see them.
The HTML reads:
<pre><nowiki><a href="https://affiliates.mozilla.org/link/banner/9029/3/1"><img src="http://affiliates-cdn.mozilla.org/media/uploads/banners/download-small-green-EN.png" alt="" /></a></nowiki></pre>
Thanks.

Don't you see that image?
Maybe use this link:

Can't see downloads

When I select an app to download from the download center, the page it takes me to is blank. It doesn't matter what app. I've tried 3 different browsers and 2 different platforms (Mac & W7). Javascript is enabled. Customer support's only solution was to take my credit card number. That didn't help.

Hi -
The page https://creative.adobe.com/products, has a list of many apps to download. When I select the download button next to any of the apps, it takes me to a blank app page (see screen shot). I can't download anything (including the cc app).

Can't see downloaded movie on Apple TV

Can't seem to see the movie I downloaded from the computer on the Apple Tv. Bought and Downloaded some episodes of Dora at the same time, and they are showing and can be played under tvshows. Have checked the settings on iTunes and it shows as home sharing on, same with the ATV. Anyone else had this problem?

Home Sharing is playing up - you should see Movies/Rentals (on computer)/TV Shows etc under Computers.
Might be stating the obvious but computer and itunes need to be running for Home Sharing to work.
Might not help but try restarting your router. For some reason AppleTV and iTunes on the computer are not detecting each other - they should if both are on the same LAN, but occasionally security software or spurious factors prevent this.
Are you on Windows or Mac platform? Which OS version? iTunes up to date?
Any security software running that might be blocking access?
iTunes purchases can either be played over the LAN from the computer (Computers icon) or streamed over the internet (Movies/TV Shows icons). Your Dora purchases if accessed under TV Shows icon >Purchased are actually playing from the internet not the computer.

Can't see mail in process of sending

when i finish writing a message and hit send, it vanishes while it's being sent and appears in the sent messages folder only after it's been sent. however, sometimes, for various reasons the message takes time to be sent (if it's very heavy, if the internet connection fails, or for unknown reasons) and at this stage, there's no way to see the message ANYWHERE. there's no outbox.
sometimes i may want to alter the message, make it smaller, delete it, or resend it to someone else, or shut down the computer without losing the unsent message, but it is nowhere to be found!
how do i open a message that's in the process of being sent? how do i open the outbox?
right now, a long message that i've written is stuck like that in limbo. it won't complete the sending process (the activity wheel is turning) and i can't stop it or find it. i took all accounts offline, but it still won't stop. mail won't quit and i'm afraid that if i force quit i'll lose the message (which took an hour to compose).
please help!

thanks for the reply, i tried to it's not working very well... i complosed an email with attachmenys and tried stopping it in the process of sending by pressing on the x as you suggested. it took about 10 minutes for the outbox to appear (which is way too long) and it sent the message anyway! it doesn't appear in the sent folder but i received it (it was sent to myself).
i can't figure out how to rebuild the mailbox (or which mailbox to rebuild) - i can't find any of these options in the Mail menu or in any of the other menus including the ones on the bottom left. i even tried ctrl clicking - but founf nothing.
maybe there's a problem with my application? (i have version 3.6)
thanks!

I can't see downloaded wallpapers from Safari or other apps in my Photos folder

Only the pictures that I click from the camera are being seen in the camera roll and the older wallpapers. None of the new pictures downloaded from Safari or other apps are seen. I tried deleting some photos, hoping that there must be a limit on the number of photos one can keep in the folder, but even that didn't help.
Can someone tell what is the issue over here? I am using an iPhone 4.

Hello Breede,
After reviewing your post, it sounds like you cannot receive MMS messages. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.
If you can't send or receive messages on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Have a nice day,
