Download file on dock (? is there)

I don't have a downloads folder next to the documents folder on the doc. There is a ? instead. I don't think my mac is keeping track of my downloads. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Remove the broken icon and drag the Downloads folder back on. Downloads location is set by Safari or whichever browser you're using.

  • Download Folder in Dock not there

    I did an Archive and Install of Leopard on my MacBook. I had the Application Folder in the right hand side of the Dock in Tiger but when I installed Leopard the Download folder never appeared. Even when I drag the Download folder from the Finder to the right-hand side of the Dock it appears as a document icon but not as the default Download folder with the arrow. I also clean installed on a G4 Mac Mini and this problem did not occur.

    The downloads folder is a stack in the dock. Which means it behaves as a stack -- it will show the "top" icon in the folder (which is the "top" item depends on the sort option... right click (or control-click) on it and choose the sort order you want).
    There is no way to get it to use the "original" icon once there's something in there. This is the way stacks currently work.

  • Cannot find the downloads file icon in the dock

    How do I get the downloads file icon into the dock? I can only access it by going into the Finder.

    Drag the Downloads folder back to it's spot next to the Trash can and it will make a "alias" there again.

    You have a Time Machine backup, that's a good thing. You can restore from your backup using Migration Assistant http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4889

  • I have an external server that stores all my movies and music, is there a way to stream it to my apple tv? If not is there a way I can link the folders to itunes (without downloading files to computer) and will that make them view-able for the apple TV?

    If none of that works is there a way to get it working alternativly?
    Additional Information:
    Everything is linked via ethernet cable.
    I'm using a PC to set it up.
    If you have any other questions feel free to ask and I'll help where I can.
    Thank you for any help

    (I think the daughter got he better end of the deal!)   I believe if you change the password and user id one of the devices it will stop that from occurring. But I'm not the one to tell you how to do it; someone like "Illaass" (Illaass seems to know how to correct / fix almost anything!) will know how if you don't. Just look for the "cat" icon.

  • I just got a new Imac, and downloaded files from my old PC. Now, when I go to Finder, I have 1500 files in an area called developer. What is this, and can they be deleted? There are also 78 files listed as Other!  Most of these files I do not recognize.

    Most of these files I do not recognize. Can they be trashed? Why did they transfer? I used a flash drive for the transfer. Also, is there a way to transfer my older email files to this new computer?
    Thanks for any and all help, I really need it.
    Tom

    Did you use the Migration Assistant to help set up the new iMac using some of the files in the older PC? Some likely won't mean much, unless you have applications that can use or convert them. There's also a way to use the software Time Machine to import data files from an external or another computer, so you may have used that, too.
    Hopefully someone with experience in a similar issue will reply...
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • My C drive is 19.5 GB. xp sp3 took 5.05 GB.Firefox also installed here . There's no room for new downloaded files.So I changed the save to option in another drive. Still when downloading large files 'low disk space' message shown.

    suppose I want to download a 4 or 5 GB file,in C:/ there is usually 2 or 3 GB left.So I changed the directory of saved files to E:/.Still low space problem occurs and the newly downloaded file is not saved.A low disk space message is shown.Why is this showing?How to resolve this?

    in options under the "general" tab change the download folder,if that does not help change the option to "ask every time".I recommended to use DAP to download your files its great and accelerates your speed quite a lot.

    When I try to download a software up date for another program in Binary File (eg. C Cleaner or a Microsoft file) in Firefox they all just come up in the download window as 'Canceled'? When I go to the destination folder the download file icon is there with 0 Kb's for size...Then when I click 'RETRY' the download it appears to download fully, but when I go into the destination folder the downloaded file is not there? I need to know if there is something in the Firefox options to resolve this problem or much more!!

    If all .exe files are blocked, antivirus software is most likely configured to block them. See if you can download these with your antivirus and/or security software disabled.

  • I just downloaded Autocad to my downloads file, how do I take it from there to my Parallels Desktop without using "Windows Explorer"?

    I just downloaded Autocad to my downloads file, how do I take it from there to my Parallels Desktop without using "Windows Explorer"?

    Did you download it from Adobe or a pop up? If it was a pop up do not open it. Make sure you only get it directly from Adobe here:
    http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
    There is some malware that poses as Flash, in pop ups.
    Then do as macbig explained double click on the file,
    After you open and install the .dmg reboot your computer to complete the installation

  • New version doesn't download into download file and says do I want to replace other when there is no other shown?

    I was happily running Mozilla 5.01 or something like that. Updated to new version 6.01. After download tried to access and got "5.01 not compatible with mini 6.02 and max 6.o2. So I uninstalled download and all Mozilla in program files and tried again. Still wouldn't work but at least it would download into my save download file. When I uninstalled again because it wouldn't work and tried to download latest 6.02 yet again, it told me it was saved in my file but it wasn't there. What's going on? I'm having to use Explorer to even get to you.

    Go into your system profiler and tell us your Machine Identifier that says:
    iMac x,y (give us the x and y values)
    That will tell us whether you are Mavericks compatible or not.
    Also tell us how much RAM you have installed.

  • My iWeb image names are incompatible with FTP servers and must be renamed but I can't find the images in iWeb. I can upload to a desktop file and change them there but then I would need to download them to a new site in iWeb to publish them.

    my iWeb image names are incompatible with FTP servers and must be renamed but I can't find the images in iWeb. I can upload to a desktop file and change them there but then I would need to download them to a new site in iWeb to publish them. 
    What's the answer?
    Thanks 

    Many thanks to  responded to my question and sorry not to get back sooner.
    Yes, I discovered by this unfortunate experience that the names of photos are a serious issue if the site is to ever go to an FTP server.  Apple should discuss this carefully in their "manual".
    One more question:  I uploaded the website to a folder on my desktop. When I open it, unlike the photos in iWeb, there are folders for each page which have all the photos in them. I went through each folder and changed the names to be FTP compatible. I'm using iWeb SEO Tool which allows one to upload from this local folder to an FTP server but having trouble.
    Is this because there is an imbedment in iWeb that uses the old photo names to link to the actual photos and it can't find them because of the name changes?
    Thanks again for your help ...

    How can I put download file back on dock?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    If you want to put a folder in the Dock, open a Finder window and drag the folder to the right part of the Dock. In this case, you want to put the Downloads folder in the Dock again, so open a Finder window and drag Downloads from the Finder sidebar to the right part of the Dock

    You need to purchase an external drive and start moving some files to it or you can try trashing some files that you no longer need.
    Download OmniDiskSweeper and see where your larger files are... you can move them to an external drive or trash them: it's up to you.
    I would also begin, since it's obviously don't have backups, a backup scheme or two. See Most commonly used backup methods.
    Good luck,
