Having trouble with downloads; cannot change downloads folder; items save to downloads folder but I cannot open them;it save all downloads as a .part file

I cannot download any attachments. I get the pop up message to save it, I save it but it saves all attachments as a .part file which cannot be opened (or it just opens in Word even when it is a music/sound file.
Also, I tried to change the folder I download to and it will not let me. I click "choose" in the downloads prefs area but it does not let me change it. the button is unresponsive.

Lion hides the Library directory, but there are instructions on this page that describe how to make it visible.

In Snow Leopard, the Firefox profile is in User/<username>/Library/Application Support/Firefox/Profiles/<randomname>.default. I am assuming that the path has not changed in Lion.
Finding something in the Library used to be easy before Apple decided that Spotlight should no longer access it, so I have taken to using Easyfind instead. If the path to the profile has changed in Lion, you could still find it by searching for cookies.sqlite, but you cannot use Spotlight for that. Easyfind is much more versatile anyway.

Cannot download; cannot set download folder

I cannot download files with Firefox or IE. Dialog box opens (getting info) but nothing happens. Or you hit save and the box closes. Also I cannot specify download folder. Hitting Browse button has no response

Firefox unexpectedly changes download folder

After upgrade to FF7.0.1 (on Win7 Pro-64) I sometimes see a strange behaviour: while downloading a couple of files to the same folder, FF does occasionally change to another download folder - without request.
I.e. I save files to folder A, suddenly FF offers me folder B. After choosing back to A, a couple of files later FF offers folder G, and so on.
While working 10 - 12 hours with my PC, this happens once or twice a day. It doesn't depend on the file's format, happens with docs, videos, pics, pdfs, zips and other formats.

Since 6 months, while using and upgrading releases (from FF7 up to currently FF12.0, on Win7 prof 64) that behaviour "unexpectedly changes download folder" still shows up. Sometimes after the 2nd or 3rd file, sometimes not until the 10th ... numbers are changing.
So, former ideas "mime types could be a reason" won't work, because - in my case - the mime types of the downloaded files (i.e. series of pics from same address, series of movies from same address of my internet video recorder save.tv) are always the same (proved!)
Result: there is still work to do - good luck!

Change download folder

How can I change the destination of files I download from the internet? I don't necessarily want them going to the "Donloads" folder. I want to have a choice, or specify a different folder altogether. Windows users have this option, I have to believe us Mac users do to. Thanks for whatever help I can get!

Sorry I'm new to MAC. These replies seem to be just showing how you can change the default.
I receive many files a day from customers. I need to select the folder where I put the file each time.
I don't want to change the default download folder or create a preset list of Favourites where I can download.
Any list would be too long to be practical.
On Windows if I set my browser to always ask me for each download then I get an explorer browse window.
I can browse to any existing folder on my drive or even create a new subfolder for the download on the fly.
At the moment (rather absurdly) I'm running Chrome in Windows in Parallels so that I can do this.
Surely there must be a way to browse for the folder natively in OS X?

Active Content: cannot change Scripts folder name?

Using DW 8.0.2.
After I accept the Active Content workaround to be applied to
my pages, I'd like to change Scripts folder name to "scripts" or
even move the scripts to my "jscript" folder, which already exists.
When I do this DW correctly asks to update the page links, but even
with the correct links the scripts does not run anymore.
It seems to be caused by some JS code included in the
scripts, which points to "Scripts" folder in site root. But I don't
know enough JS to identify and modify this. Any help will be very
welcome.

Shouldn't happen. I have moved the AC .....js file many times
to different
folders and if the path is correct, everything works
properly. Can you
please post a link.
You cannot lose until you give up !!!

Cannot change public folder owner in adsiedit to the server_name$ where PF are stored

Hi,
I have migrated PF from Exch 2003 to the Exch 2010 SP2 RU6.
Some of PFs still have the old Exchange 2003 servername as the owner in Security-Advanced-Owner of ADSIEdit.
However when I try to change it to the Exch2010_server_name$ (the one where Public Folders are mounted - I cannot (without any reason). But I can change it to one of the CAS servers, strange isn't it?
I have already tried this using domain admin account and Exchange admin account (both are assigned to Public Folder Management).
Can you help me to set the correct server name (as it is set for new public folders), please?
BR Michal Ziemba

Hi Michal,
Based on my knowledge, we don't need to change the owner of public folder manually when we migrate public folder.
The issue may be related to AD replication. You can run Dcdiag on your domain controllers and make sure you're not having replication problems.
Here is a thread for your reference.

Hope it helps.
If there are any problems, please feel free to let me know.

I used icns2icon and yet, I cannot change a folder's icon!

I have a .icns file, on which I used the icns2icon to have it correctly display correctly in finder (get it at http://www.icons.cx/goodies/), but still I cannot "select" the icon in the view information dialog and copy it to the corresponding folder icon I want, as per instructions I found on the web.
What is wrong?

I just tried my copy of icns2icons and everything seems to be working correctly. I converted an icns file so that it displayed the icon, did GetInfo, clicked the wee little icon at the top of the GetInfo window to select it (it has a teeny tiny blue halo when selected, which can be VERY hard to see), selected Copy. Created a new folder, did GetInfo on it and selected its wee icon, then selected Paste, and it immediately changed to the new icon. So, it should work. Are you sure you are getting the icon selected? At what point are getting the failure? Are you saying clicking on the wee little icon in GetInfo does not select it, so that Copy is greyed out? If so, try clicking again. Like I said, it can be hard to see whether you actually got it selected or not.

How to (successfully) change Mail Downloads folder?

Hi,
I've been trying to wrestle with my Mail Downloads folder location without success, so I thought I would ask.
I dislike having a separate "Mail Downloads" folder because stuff accumulates endlessly there. The default Mail Downloads is at ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail/Data/Library/Mail Downloads. Here's what I have tried:
The obvious: change "Downloads folder" in Mail prefs. No matter what I choose, the files are still downloaded to the default folder.
I removed ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail/Data/Library/Mail Downloads and made it a symlink to my ~/Downloads folder (where I'd like to put everything). This causes opening attachments from Mail to hang (I have to save them first, and then open from the saved location). I get these messages in Console (in this example, trying to open an attachment named "Manual.pdf", and PID 56818 is the Mail app):
9/13/12 11:52:29.707 AM CoreServicesUIAgent[56818]: Quarantine resolution refused to pid 56809 because it is not allowed to read /Users/a10022/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail/Data/Library/Mail Downloads/Manual.pdf
9/13/12 11:52:29.000 AM kernel[0]: Sandbox: sandboxd(56817) deny mach-lookup com.apple.coresymbolicationd
9/13/12 11:52:30.221 AM sandboxd[56817]: ([56809]) Mail(56809) deny file-issue-extension /Users/a10022/Downloads/Manual.pdf
9/13/12 11:52:30.238 AM sandboxd[56817]: ([56809]) Mail(56809) deny file-issue-extension /Users/a10022/Downloads/Manual.pdf
9/13/12 11:52:30.253 AM sandboxd[56817]: ([56809]) Mail(56809) deny file-issue-extension /Users/a10022/Downloads/Manual.pdf
Any thoughts? The symlink trick was working fine in Lion and before, the trouble started with the upgrade to Mountain Lion.
Thanks,
--Diego

Hi,
I have spent quit some time on this and there is no decent option to do so. Mail is a buggy product since it ignores the default preferences. Old tricks with the symbolic link don't work. Most likely because Apple wants you to look at all the nice inline attachments in stead of treating them as a real attachment. Just like they do in their commercials.
I found some posts on how to move it to another disk but that was not my goal. So in the end, there was only one option left for me and that is to just make it a faourite folder in my finder so I can at least review it daily to clean it up.
Sorry for not having a desent fix but this works for me.
Good luck!

Mesh enabling Downloads folder stopd Firefox opening it?

I have my Dowloads folder sync'd to all my other computers using Microsoft's Mesh system. When I got a new computer, downloading a file would produce the downloads list and allow me to run prog or open containing folder. Once I pointed downloads to a Live Mesh folder (so I only have to download a file once) this all stopped working. The downloads box opens and the file starts downloading OK, if I am quick enough I can right click the downloading file and "open containing folder" but if not, the download finishes and then the file vanishes from the list (its still in the folder and been downloaded OK, just not easily accessible from Firefox download window??
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== Changed download folder to Mesh Live folder

Yeah, thanks but that's not what I was trying to ask.
I know that you can save and open a document by performing these three steps:
1. Confirming to save a file to the Downloads folder
2. Open the download manager by clicking the temporarily green arrow
3. Clicking on the downloaded file
What I would like to know is whether or not it is possible to have Firefox open a saved file ''automatically''. At the moment, if I choose to open it automatically, it is only saved to my temp folder.
It would be great though if it was saved to my Downloads folder ''and'' opened with the respective program on my pc. Is there a way to do this?

BetterPrivacy changed destination Folder to removable! tried Reset FF to factory status without any sucess!

checking Plugins, I always get Flash player outdated! I discovered that Better Privacy Changed downloading folder to removable. How can I fix this problem? even setting FF several times to its factory setting is not helpful.

That's the latest version, and you can see above under Question Details - More System Details that it's available to websites.
Since I don't see any obvious issues, I suggest you perform a clean install of Flash Player as described below. It's admittedly tedious, but it's an effective cure-all for most Flash Player problems.
# From the following page, save the uninstaller somewhere handy, like the desktop.

# From the following page, save the installer for other browsers. If you also use Flash Player in Internet Explorer, also save the ActiveX version.
#* [http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player-windows.html#main-pars_text_4 Direct downloads of Flash Player for Windows | Adobe Support]
# Exit all applications.
# Run the uninstaller.
# In Windows Explorer, try to open the following folders. If they still exist, delete them manually.
#* <pre>C:\Windows\system32\Macromed\Flash\</pre>
#* <pre>C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash\</pre>
#* <pre>%AppData%\Adobe\Flash Player\</pre>
#* <pre>%AppData%\Macromedia\Flash Player\</pre>
# Restart your computer.
# Run the installer for other browsers.
# Run the ActiveX installer if you downloaded it.
