Download icon
Why does the downloads icon in the dock show a ? and not the fan image. What can I do to revert to the original setup?
I have 3 folders in the dock, applications, documents and downloads. There isn't any image on the downloads folder and when I click on it I get a question mark. Originally when I clicked on it, it would show the downloads in a vertical fan shape. Do I have to clean up this folder and if so how to?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
To get your Downloads icon in the Dock, open a Finder window and drag Downloads from the Finder sidebar to the right part of the Dock, so it will show up in the Dock -
I paid to rent a movie. I click on the icon to play the movie and the message, "go to downloads to manage your downloads" appears.
The problem is that there is no "download" icon anywhere on my ipad to click on. It normally is at the bottom right of the screen when

Getting rid of a "download" icon appearing in Safari browser Flash Player
Please HELP!! I've inserted two screen shots to demonstrate what I'm trying to get rid of. Some months ago I downloaded the Free Video Downloader for Mac from here:
http://www.iskysoft.com/free-mac-video-downloader.html
I'm stuck with a very annoying "Download" icon that POPS UP TOP LEFT when I mouse-hover on any and all Flash Player content on my Safari browser. I'm on Mac OS10.5.8. This is ONLY happening on my Safari browser. Not on Firefox or Chrome. I downloaded a Flash Video downloader for Safari months ago. I've deleted ALL traces of the app. I've been everywhere in my system Library - Application Support - Safari folders - etc, I've looked everywhere. Updating Flash Player makes no difference. Clearing all data in the Flash Player System Preferences interface does not get rid of it. Clearing the entire Safair cache does not get rid of it. Re-installing Safari does not get rid of it. I've tried anything and everything I can think of and I've run out of ideas! Short of wiping my hard drive and re-installing Leopard which I do not want to do, I'm stumped. Every time I hover my mouse over Flash content - I'm STILL stuck with this highly annoying "Download" icon in the top left corner of all Safari Browser Flash content. Can anyone PLEASE help me get rid of it. Many thanks!! NTI am having exactly the same problem. Have trawled the internet for solutions and can't find one yet. Please can there be someone clever enough out there to fix this? It's driving me insane... Any suggestions will be gratefully received.

Help I have 'lost' my downloads icon from the dock on my desktop Mac. Can I retrieve it? If so please describe how, using simple terms. I have tried searching folders, finder and trash
Your Downloads folder should be in your Home folder. Just drag it to the Dock.
If you've managed to delete it, try creating a new folder called 'Downloads'. You will probably need to nominate it in Safari or any other browser preferences as your download destination. (Safari Preferences>General, 'Save downloaded items to:' menu) -
Why is the download icon on all the time?
why is the download icon on all the time?
Hello joelblair85! I know how frustrating it can be when you can't match an icon to a specific app! What make & model phone do you have? Which apps do you know of sync on a regular basis?
Thanks,

My SD card reader has caused my iPhoto screen to be locked with no list of files on the lefthand side and a blank main photo area apart from the rotating download icon operating in the centre of the photo part of the screen.
I have tried to quit iphoto but when I restart it the same locked screen appears.
I believe I caused this problem when I removed my SD device without first ejecting it when the blank screen appeared without downloading my new photos.
Can anyone help a 66 year old computer illiterate fool ?.
RegardsUse Force Quit (under the Apple menu at the top) to close iPhoto. Then try opening it again. If it locks up again force quit and try this: launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library. Import some photos and check to see if the same problem persists.
If the problem does not persist try the following: make a temporary, backup copy (select the library and type Command+D) and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Since only one option can be run at a time start with Option #1, followed by #3 and then #4 as needed.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.
If the problem persists in the test library do the following: make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
Click to view full size
3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.

hi, i am having a problem in my ipad 2 , it is not showing main screen just showing a black blank screen in which downloading icon is only shwn which is continously and when i connect to itunes via windows 7 it showing this error (0xE8000065) can any one
First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
Finally, if the Restore doesn't work, let the battery drain completely. Then recharge for at least an hour and Restore again. -
Dock "download" icon (file) not working
My download icon (file) on the dock dose nothing when pressed? And when I right click it and "engage" *open download* it gives me a question mark. My downloaded files are there through the finder and when I download all seems to be OK. So what could be the problem? All suggestions, advice and comments are welcomed; thank you in advance for any feedback.
drag the downloads icon off the dock. now select the downloads folder in finder and drag it to the dock. this will recreate the downloads stack and hopefully fix the problem with it.

How do I get a Download icon into my dock?
I used to be able to see a folder of Downloads in my dock. It isn't there anymore and I want to get it back. I tried to go into Applications and look for a Download icon to drag into the dock, but I didnt see anything called Downloads. Any suggestions?
In Finder open a new window and drag the Downloads item listed on the left of the window to the Dock and place it between the line and the Trash - a space should open up to accommodate it - and drop it there.

I downloaded Firefox 4 a while ago. I followed the instructions and tried to get rid of the Icon on my desktop and the disk. Whenever I try to do so I get a message stating that the disk "Firefox" couldn't be ejected because Firefox is using it and that I have to quit the application and try to eject the disk again. But whenever I try to open Firefox I get the download Icon (the one with the fox and the arrow) and the disk back in my desktop. Can I ever get rid of them?
Did you drag the the Firefox program from the disk image (DMG) to the application folder on your hard drive ?

Go to Safari>Preferences...>General> and set "Remove download list items: to "Manually."

I can't download because I have accidently moved my download icon to the the screen and it went up in smoke
Assuming you mean your Downloads folder (there is no download icon): Go to Home and drag the Downloads folder to the left of the @ pin in your Dock. Make sure you drag the folder over the Dock separator line.
