Download issue with all programs

I'm having an issue where every time I download a program (i.e. Firefox, Adobe Air, a photo uploader for Shutterly) the program saves to my desktop and looks like an external hard drive icon. These type of programs used to download to my applications folder (and LOOKED like applications) instead of cluttering up my desktop. What am I doing wrong? If I trash the external drive icon, I also lose the program.

In Safari, go to Safari->Preferences->General->Save downloaded files to: and choose the location where you want things downloaded. ~/Downloads is a good choice.
Once an item has downloaded, if it's an application, just move it from the download location (wherever that might be, such as Downloads or Desktop) to your Application folder.
What I think is happening, though, is that your downloads are still going to your Downloads folder and you are seeing the mounted disk images from the downloaded .img/.dmg (or similarly-suffixed) files. Open these up by double-clicking on the Desktop icon and then drag the required components to their destination locations (generally speaking, the application to your Applications folder). In some cases, the disk image will contain an installer, in which case you will need to double-click the installer to get the software you downloaded onto your machine properly. Read the instructions that come with the download, or on the web page of the source file.

Since I've installed Mountain Lion, I am having lock up issues with multiple programs. MS Outlook has crashed and I've lost all my folders. HELP?

Since I've installed Mountain Lion, I am having lock up issues with multiple programs. MS Outlook has crashed and I've lost all my folders. HELP?

okay I've finally been able to get tor and all the other programs to work according to my plan the only thing that's still making problems is that iptables doesn't work as I want it to, when I start chromium without proxy settings privoxy doesn't seem to forward the information to polipo.. do I need to add another rule to iptables.rules in order for the program to know it has to reroute the information again or how can I get this to work? and is there any way to run rtorrent with proxy support?
anyway, problem 2 and 3 are still to be solved.
and does anybody know where i can get a good dansguardian blacklist that was not designed for 6 year old children and for which I don't need to subscribe? I'm still getting these partypoker popups -.-
//e: with iptables it's the same thing as described in the first post. https works, http doesnt. I get the output "Invalid header received from client." on http sites. still no idea why though.. (and the https-version of torcheck.xenubite says i'm tor unprotected while starting the browser with iptables)

HT5070 Download issues with purchased tv episode

I purchased both seasons of Downton Abbey. Episode 6 of Season two will not download and different error messages appear after each attempt. No issues with all other episodes. Please advise.

Many thanks.
Perhaps try the "Error -50," "-5000," "8003," "8008," or "-42023" section in the Specific Conditions and Alert Messages: (Mac OS X / Windows) section of the following document:
iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting

Having a few issues with several programs (tor / mpd / ccm..)

Hey everybody,
I'll arrange this post in 3 parts since I have 3 different kinds of "major" problems or questions .
1st ( tor - privoxy - polipo - iptables )
I somehow found this article in your wiki and therefore tried to get tor and privoxy up and running on my desktop machine, as this didn't work as I hoped it would I searched farther in the wiki and installed and configured (as far as I've thought of) polipo and iptables.
Now I've put all 4 of them in my rc.conf, but somehow some of my http connections don't seem to work in chromium while iptables is running (https works fine though [e.g. archwiki works, youtube doesn't]).
I did everything as suggested in the polipo wiki entry, meaning I changed my /etc/iptables/iptables.rules to
*nat
:PREROUTING ACCEPT [0:0]
:POSTROUTING ACCEPT [0:0]
:OUTPUT ACCEPT [0:0]
-A OUTPUT -p tcp --dport 80 -m owner --uid-owner polipo -j ACCEPT
-A OUTPUT -p tcp --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-ports 8123
COMMIT
and removed all proxy settings from my browser - meaning all corresponding flags in the startcommand. I also added "forward / localhost:8123" to the privoxy config and changed the polipo configuration according to the wiki in order to work with tor (the socksParentProxy, socksProxyType part).
now the next problem - that might probably be related to the first - is that my privoxy doesn't load in daemon mode anymore.
I think it's since I've installed polipo that privoxy began to refuse starting together with the other daemons
[usR@machine ~]$ privoxy
Apr 23 00:20:56.459 b75086c0 Fatal error: can't check configuration file '/home/usR/config': No such file or directory
this is the output I get when I try to start privoxy in normal user mode from the terminal, when I try starting the daemon manually (/etc/rc.d/privoxy start) it says
touch: cannot touch `/var/log/privoxy/logfile': Permission denied
chgrp: cannot access `/var/log/privoxy/logfile': Permission denied
chmod: cannot access `/var/log/privoxy/logfile': Permission denied
touch: cannot touch `/var/log/privoxy/jarfile': Permission denied
chgrp: cannot access `/var/log/privoxy/jarfile': Permission denied
chmod: cannot access `/var/log/privoxy/jarfile': Permission denied
Apr 23 00:22:34.490 b76396c0 Fatal error: Cannot setgid(): Insufficient permissions.
[/var/log/privoxy belongs to privoxy:adm]
when I do the same in sudo mode it just fails without displaying an error message..
I added this code to the /etc/rc.d/privoxy executable but I still get this owner conflict error and I have no idea what might be causing it.
if [ ! -d /var/log/privoxy ]
then
mkdir /var/log/privoxy
touch /var/log/privoxy/errorfile
touch /var/log/privoxy/logfile
chown -R privoxy:adm /var/log/privoxy
fi
If the order of the daemons in rc.conf is of any real importance here a copy of my setup
( @polipo @privoxy @syslog-ng !set-hw-addr !iptables @network netfs hddtemp @crond hal dbus @alsa @slim @tor )
2nd ( mpd & mpc )
I'm just wondering if there's a way to output the position of a track in the current playlist combined with a search. since mpc search <type> <query> only prints out full file path and name, but not the position in the playlist so that you could play it with mpc play. I thought of a method to print out the whole list with mpc playlist and pipe this output into a listing program, than grep out the song I'm looking for all that in a little bash script, to replace mpc search.
Is there an integrated mpc search function that works the way I imageine it and my idea therefore redundant, or if not, is it realizable the way I picture it; does such a listing program exist?
3rd ( cairo-compmgr )
Since I'm already posting here I thought I'd mention my older problem which I still couldn't solve.
1st) I need to start cairo-compmgr(-git) in sudo mode to be able to edit any settings or activate the gui in any way. how do I automatically start the program on startup in sudo mode? I tried editing ~/.fluxbox/startup & ~/.fluxbox/init, even tried adding it in /etc/rc.d/ and /etc/rc.conf in order to start it as a daemon (lol, noob) but none of that worked properly obviously Any ideas? I don't want to start it manually and "waste" a terminal window for that every time I boot.
2nd) I can change opacity (transparency) in both versions only per hotkey, and when I do so the settings don't get saved, they even get reset to normal opacity as soon as another window gets selected. does anybody know if there's a config file or any way to save opacity settings for certain windows & programs, so that they automatically get loaded when cairo starts and stay applied until it gets closed?
[or generally: how do I configure the Plugins? ]
the last "problem" which occurs only with cairo-compmgr-git:
When I rightclick the ccm icon in the task bar and disable the composite desktop, the whole program kills itself oO
In the old version the option "Composite desktop"'s box just got un-checked and I could easily restart ccm by rightclicking the logo again and re-enabling the "Composite desktop" option.
Any clues on that by any chance?
I'm using Fluxbox by the way, if that's of any importance for any of the problems. hope I didn't forget any important information if so please remind me
Would be thankful for any kind of help
have a nice weekend
deF
//edit:
concernig the tor / privoxy problem, I managed getting all the daemons to start up at bootup again, my iptables situation remains the same though.
I went through all the config files again and played around with chown and chmod a little and for now the system is stable, everytime I reboot all the daemons start without any problems.
but when i start chromium with --proxy-server=localhost:8118 now, I get the following error message
The following error occurred while trying to access http://torcheck.xenobite.eu/index.php?:
504 Connect to torcheck.xenobite.eu:80 failed: SOCKS error: network unreachable
Generated Sat, 23 Apr 2011 04:49:08 CEST by Polipo on archzor.localdomain:8118.
notably with all programs running now, tor, polipo, privoxy (and by now dansguardian as well)..
I'm tired so I'll go asleep now, maybe I'll find something tomorrow in the logfiles or whatever, so far:
every kind of help is still very appreciated

Try resetting your phone by holding down the home and off button until the apple symbol comes up. Then if still doing, restore your phone in itunes from your backup.

Spinning Beach Ball of Death. Even with all programs closed, I'm still using 5 GB of RAM, according to Activity Monitor. Help!

Ever since installation of OSX Lion, I've been having freeze-up problems on my early 2011 MacBook Pro. Increased the RAM from 4GB to 8GB. Amazingly, when I have Mail and Chrome open, almost all of the RAM is consumed. Even with all programs closed, I only have about 3 GB of free space. Any ideas as to what the problem is?

Mail under Lion (your profile says 10.5) is always busy and doesn't like large email database I hear.
Chrome and Safari don't clear their history and cache, lack quota on how many days and disk use, so clear those out. This is where I do use CCleaner on Mac as well as Wndows.
I keep reading from 10.6 on that even closing (quit) does not release memory and threads galour that there are memory leaks that you have to repair permissions, even restart, and poor memory management for many people's systems (often laptops).
Free RAM is wasted RAM though. Even 3GB seems excessive. This is not OS 9 or 1999.
but I found that 4-core 4GB RAM was fine except for handling large photo libraries.

Having issues with all net browsers eg. chrome, safari

Having issues with all my net browers eg. Chrome, Safari and FIrefox have been invaded by what appears to be a virus. It creates pop ups on random words on unrelated sites by colouring them blue or green and underlining them twice. It seems to be tagged Dropdown Coupons or something ......I am inundated with pics of Dr Oz and how to remove fat ........it is slowly taking over everything.
Anyone else had this bug....any idea how to get rid of it........have cleaned cookies. etc.......have tried uninstalling browsers and reinstalling to no avail........any help or advice would be great. I have no antivirus on my mac as have never needed any before
cheers in advance

Many site issues can be caused by corrupt cookies or cache. In order to try to fix these problems, the first step is to clear both cookies and the cache.
Note: ''This will temporarily log you out of all sites you're logged in to.''
To clear cache and cookies do the following:
#Go to Firefox > History > Clear recent history or (if no Firefox button is shown) go to Tools > Clear recent history.
#Under "Time range to clear", select "Everything".
#Now, click the arrow next to Details to toggle the Details list active.
#From the details list, check ''Cache'' and ''Cookies'' and uncheck everything else.
#Now click the ''Clear now'' button.
Further information can be found in the [[Clear your cache, history and other personal information in Firefox]] article.

GUI Download Issue with Chinese characters

Hello,
Currently we are upgrading from 4.7 to ECC. I'm using GUI_DOWNLOAD
function module to download the data from SAP to desktop. I do have an
issue with Chinese characters while downloading the file from SAP to ECC.
In 4.7 the Chinese characters are being downloaded (I haven't used any
code page) perfectly, but where as in ECC the downloaded file has junk
characters instead of Chinese.
Is there any change in the GUI_UPLOAD FM.
For your reference below is the code present in the program

Hi bharat,
please check whether you ecc 6.0 is uni coded or not (as you upgraded).
If it is not uni coded then you will not be able to print the Chinese characters.
You can see whether it is uni coded or not by the following
in your app toolbar under system click on status.
There you can see whether your ecc6.0 is uni coded or not.

Download issues with LR

Hi
PLEASE READ my initial queries with this problem. It seems as though the techs are not taking care in the answers by reading my previous correspondence.
1. I am a subscriber to creative cloud.
2. I have downloaded Creative cloud and have the app list. I have NO problem with this - it is on my desktop and working.
3. From the Creative cloud app list I have downloaded photoshop with NO problems as well.
4. When downloading LR5 from the same Creative Cloud app list it fails after 42% - this is the problem (cannot complete download from Creative Cloud apps list )
5. I have tried using Explorer and Firefox with same results (many times)
6. My first response from support I was told to go to prodesign page and download from the trial link.
7. The link from prodesign page does not work, and anyway i do not want a trial as I do not have a 'serial number' because I am a cloud subscriber and as far as is know no-one has given me a serial number for LR or the other programs I have downloaded through the app list.
8. If there is a serial number for LR please let me have it and I will try and download from an Adobe page.
9. Also there is a reference to 7 steps to follow when downloading. I cannot find where these 7 steps are and if I have managed to get as far as downloading the CC apps and photoshop why should downloading LR be any different?
10. The comment that my pc does not allow cookies - why would the other Adobe programs have no problem in downloading then?

If there is pertinent information in your previous replies on the same subject then including links to those replies would be helpful for those of us who use e-mail to read and respond to the forums. We cannot see that you have other threads on the same subject without going to the web version of the forums. I am another Lightroom user like yourself, not someone from Adobe.
Your replies to previous messages, which I did go to the forums to look for, indicate the ProDesignTools webpages either are not visible to you or do not make sense to you.
There are seven steps, numbered 0 to 6, on the ProDesignTools webpage within the Very Important Instructions section also previously referred to. Aside from perhaps some brief periods of server maintenance, which I have never personally experienced, the ProDesignTools webpages are available and do work, so if you cannot even get those pages to come up, it suggests you have issues with connectivity to things on the internet, perhaps due to an iffy connection, or perhaps due to a virus or malware scanner that isn't playing nice. Why only LR is affected, is unclear.
Can you confirm if you can see the ProDesignTools pages, and if so, do you see the Very Important Instructions and steps 0 to 6, which involve setting an Adobe authorization cookie, so if you are following steps 0 to 6 and get an error from the Adobe download page that ProDesignTools eventually redirects to, then you might have cookies disabled. Of course if you can't even see the ProDesignTools pages, then you're getting stopped before anything to do with cookies is occurring. Being more specific and detailed about what you're doing and what errors or unexpected conditions happen would help the rest of us not be confused as to what your situation is and not give confusing answers.
However, you are correct that the ProDesignTools trial is the serial-number version, which is different than the Cloud version, or at least that is my experience. A reason to try the serial-number version would be to see if LR installs for you, in case the 42% that the Cloud installer is stopping at is really a preliminary install step rather than a download step and maybe the serial-number version is easier to see error messages from. Some times screenshots of your error situation can be helpful.
Another place to get the LR serial-number version, would be the Adobe updates page: http://www.adobe.com/downloads/updateswhich would also be the most up-to-date version, LR 5.4, rather than LR 5.0 that the trial might still be.
If the serial number version of LR installs from either of the above locations, then before trying the Cloud version of LR, again, you'd want to uninstall the serial-number version, and log out of or quit the CC Desktop app, then restart it, so it'll rescan what apps are installed or not.

Time Capsule download issues with Windows 7

Hello together
My problem is as follows: upload to Time Capsule with two PCs running on Windows 7 (both 32 and 64 bit) and a Mac Book Pro is working without any problems occuring. TC and the two PCs are in the same workgroup and PCs are connected via WIFI in private mode.
Download from TC to Mac Book Pro works without problems. But in contrast to that, when downloading with the two Windows7-based PCs the connecting is breaking off all the time and the message "Network error" will be displayed. In order to get a new connection to TC the power plug must be unplugged and replugged again. Do you have any advice what to do? Thanks very much in advance.

Are you using SMB compatible names for the TC and wireless.. short, no spaces.. pure alphanumeric.. If not do so?
I also recommend using fixed channels and maybe fixed mode. Lock up as much as possible as the PC does not deal as well as the Mac with the auto band, channel and mode switches.
I am not sure what you mean by this..
PCs are connected via WIFI in private mode.
Please explain a bit more.
Windows wireless drivers are often terrible.. many people have fixed issues by using a more recent driver direct from the wireless card manufacturer.. this is important.. not windows default driver,, not computer manufacturer supplied one.. eg intel card then get latest intel driver from intel.
Are you running bonjour for windows on the PC's??
Try using static IP address which also might help.. windows did have issues with dhcp in the past.

Issue with BDC program used for FBZ5 (Check Print)

Hi all,
I am having one requirement in Check printing. as per that i have made one Z program which will accept multiple Payment documents. I am passing selected accounting documents to BDC routine for Transaction FBZ5. (As in FBZ5 we can take a print for one Payment document not for multiple)
We can have 3 scenarios in FBZ5
1. Fresh Check printing (First time check printing)
2. Old Check (printing for same Check no)
3. New Check (After voiding older check)
Category 1 and 2 are working fine but i am facing problem in category 3.
For Category 3 : BDC Screen flow is like this
A. Tcode FBZ5 Start program: SAPMFCHK Screen: 750 --> Click on 'Print'
B. Program: SAPLSPO2 Screen: 0100 --> Here specify option 'New Check'
C. Program: SAPMFCHK Screen: 0700
    - This program belongs to new Tcode FCH7
    - Here we have to give Void Reason code
Now issue with Category 3:
While executing BDC in online and background mode my control is terminating at step C mentioned above
Troubleshooting:
I have debugged standard program of FBZ5
1. in Include MFCHKFD0 we can see call to Tcode FCH7 (PERFORM AUFRUF_FCH7.)
2. in form AUFRUF_FCH7 i found code related to BDC
   also there one statement is getting triggered -->   CALL TRANSACTION 'FCH7' USING BDC MODE 'A'.
So there is a BDC call inside my Z BDC program, so is this a reason why my program is not working for above scenario ?
Or can't we handle above scenario in a way mentioned above?

Hi Sandra,
I was trying to upload customer master in fd01 using bdc. The screens were different while recording. So could not perform the upload. Thenone screen was skipped so that the bdc was working fine and the data was uploaded.
This is the flow of the recording.
'SAPMF02D' '0105'.
SAPMF02D' '7105'
SAPMF02D' '0111
SAPMF02D' '0120
SAPMF02D' '0130
SAPMF02D' '0210
SAPMF02D' '0215
SAPMF02D' '0220'
SAPMF02D' '0230'
SAPMF02D' '0610
After the second screen was deleted the bdc worked fine.

Thanks to Mandeep5062 Acrobat Pro download issue with Safari

Before your response arrived I shut down Safari, loaded Firefox, went directly to the Adobe download page and attempted a download. The download started correctly and then switched over to the Creative Cloud downloader and I thought, "Here we go again". However, the process completed and installed the Acrobat Pro software as advertised. This might be a work around others can use that are having issues with Safari.

Win 7 either comes with a virtural XP machine installed, or it's freelly availible. I forget which, but this may be a simple solution to your issue.
Here's a link that might help:
