Download a pdf to hard drive

Hey, everyone,
I'm still new at this. I need the user to be able to click a
button that will download a pdf to their hard drive. I was
wondering if I could use buddy API. Any sample scripts would be
much appreciated.
Thanks,
Devin

Yes, you can use Buddy API, or FileXtra4.
First you need to present a "Save" dialog. You might use
baGetFilename()
or fx_FileSaveAsDialog()
Once you get a valid filename (the user didn't cancel) you
could use
baCopyFile() or fx_FileCopy().
Check the docs for whichever xtra you go with for details
about
parameters to pass.
I would encourage you to have a try at writing the script for
yourself
before providing a pre-built solution

I have Mountain Lion OS Install CD downloaded onto my external hard drive, how do I use this to upgrade from Leopard

Current computer that I just bought used is operating on Leopard 10.5.8
I have Mountain Lion OS X CD installation files downloaded on my external hard drive from another Mac that I have owned.
How do I use my external HD to download and Install Mountain OS X wizard.
Is the only way to do this to buy a copy of snow leopard and then once upgrading to that, plug in my external HD and then access the Mtn install file as I would if I had the installation CD?
When I try to access the install file from my external HD, i get to the installation window and then when I am to select a hard drive to install it on I receuve a red exclamation mark error that says it can not be written to the HD. Why is this? Because I'm not on snow leopard but rather leopard?

As you have the installer on a DVD, you can do a trick that consists in formatting the hard drive, and then, install Mountain Lion.
First, make a backup of your files with Time Machine > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1427 I recommend Time Machine because it will be easier to restore your files later.
Then, insert the DVD with Mountain Lion and hold the C key while your Mac is starting, so you will see a window with different options. Open Disk Utility, choose Macintosh HD in the sidebar, go to Erase tab and erase the drive.
After erasing the drive, you can install Mountain Lion. Close Disk Utility and install it. During the initial setup, it will ask you to restore your files, so plug the external drive with the backup and follow its steps. Note that PowerPC apps aren't compatible

My hard drive crashed and I lost everything on my Mac desk top, including my Adobe Lightroom. I had my hard drive replaced but how do I download to my new hard drive? I have my previous serial number but when I entered that, it said it was invalid.

Downloaded yodot to recover hard drive files and now it says Mac OS X is full what do I do?

I have no idea what "yodot" is (let me Google it...). OK, looks as if it's a file recovery utility for Windows. Not sure why you'd need that...
...are you saying that you're getting a message that your disk is full? Please provide further information... see How to help us help you on these forums.

How do I install downloads to my external hard drive?

The download manager automatically installs everything to my C: drive. I am running out of room on my little laptop. :P
How do I tell the download manager to install to my external hard drive? This is for games and fun stuff.
I have Windows Vista on the laptop.
Thanks.

DEpends on what you want to do - your question is not clear
If you want to copy your iPhoto library to your external drive simply drag it to the external drive either as back up or to run it there
If you want more usable copies of your photos on your external drive use the iPhoto program to export them (file menu ==> exports) to the external drive

Downloading to a external hard drive

i recently bought a toshiba 1tb external hard drive, to transfer all my video downloads (vuze) fom my old pc to my new imac, i can watch all these on my imac no problems, but when i try and download straight to my hdd from vuze it doesnt work it comes up with 'THE DESTINATION' / VOLUMES/TOSHIBA EXT DOES NOT EXIST OR IS INVALID. if i down load straight to my vuze folder on my imac that works but i then cant copy it to my external hdd, it wont copy over i cant dra and drop it, i've tried saving it to a different folder and doing it that way, just no luck.
when i right click the toshiba hdd it says format: windows nt file system (ntfs)
when i go onto disc format it says format ms-dos (fat) i read somewhere aout tryig to rformat it and changing it to MS OS EXTENDED and erasing that to reformat it, but that doesnt work either
if someone could help me out i can use a computer but i'm not tech savvy lol that would be great thanks in advance

I suspect the EHD is currently formated as a NTFS drive which OS X can read but cannot write to. I'd suggest temporarily moving all the data from the EHD to the internal HD on the iMac. Then use Disk Utility to reformat the EHD to Mac OS Extended (Journaled) with a GUID partition. Then move all the data you copied onto the internal HD back onto the reformated EHD.
I'd also recommend strongly against attempting to share and EHD with a PC. Due to the low cost of EHDs there isn't any reason to do this, if you want to share files, then simply use the file sharing in OS X and MS Windows to do so.

Download Lightroom on New Hard Drive Win 7 64 Bit Error Can't Use Original Serial Number

Hello
I am attempting to reinstall Lightroom 5 on a new hard drive after my old one crashed.
I am using the original download file which I have recovered from the old hard drive.
When entering my serial number for Lightroom I am receiving a message saying "This is an upgrade serial number. The serial number from your previous version of Lightroom is required."
I did not upgrade from an earlier version of Lightroom; I purchased the full version of Lightroom 5 and I only have one serial number. I was wondering if you knew what the problem might be here.
Thanks

Hi Davidbopper,
The full version serial number should not throw up this message.
I would request you to go through the link below and check in case you might have purchased any previous version serial key.

How to download dvd to my hard drive to make video

I am doing a demo reel and want to download DVDs to my computer. How do I do that?

Copy the DVD to your computer's hard drive. Note that DVDs have special structuring and you'lll have to have software to handle mpeg-2 encoding.
If they are commercial DVDs simple copying won't work if they are copy protected.

How do I set up ITunes on Lap so that it downloads to an external hard drive and doesn't eat up space on my laptop?

iTunes was eating up all my hard drive, so I bought an external hard drive
Question 1:
After I move the iTunes file over to the external hard drive, do I just move the file on my lap top to the trash folder and will that free up space on my hard drive?
Question 2:
If question 1 is good, the next time I down load a movie or song is there anything I need to do to get it to download to the iTunes folder on my external hard drive?

http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1449
This article will help you.
1. Yes, you can trash the original folder. If you have a large media library, then yes you should free up a good chunk of space. However, you must also empty the trash. You can't just leave it in the trash or it will take up space.
2. Once you select the new media folder in iTunes as the article tells you, I believe all new downloaded media will automatically go to that new folder.
