Download manager and download tab missing in options box.

The default Firefox Options window doesn't have a separate tab for Downloads, those prefs are on the General tab below Startup.

After waiting 27 minutes while the new iTunes supposedly downloaded onto my computer, the Finder window did not appear, and the iTunes.mpkg icon didn't appear on my desktop (where downloads usually go). I also looked for the new iTunes by clicking on my Hard Drive icon but didn't see it there either. I only see the icon for the old iTunes. What do I do?

The exclamation mark means that the app has lost the link to the actual file.
First step: try and make sure the iPhoto Library is working correctly:
Go to the App Store and check out the Purchases List. If iPhoto is there then it will be v9.6.1
If it is there, then drag your existing iPhoto app (not the library, just the app) to the trash
Install the App from the App Store.
Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.

One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.

Pro download tab missing?

I'm sure this is a silly question that I just haven't been paying attention to something, but here goes...
As a QT Pro registered user, I used to remember a tab at the end of the progress bar when playing media files (.mov, .mp3, etc) in my browser, where I had the option to "download file as".
I don't know how long ago this happened, but I no longer have this tab.
Should I? Is this something that disappeared in an upgrade and I just wasn't paying attention, or is something wrong here? And if something is missing, does anyone have any ideas as to how to fix it?
Thanks in advance.

Sure, for example, here's a video that I have uploaded to my .mac acct.
http://homepage.mac.com/sardomus/wecan1.mov
When I play it it Safari (Camino, Firefox), I see the Volume tab, the Play/ Pause, the progress bar, the Rew/ FF buttons, and that's it.

How do I set my downloads to open in the finder ?

How do I set my downloads to open?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
If I understand your question correctly, you want to know how to 'open', view, or install something you've successfully downloaded from the internet and saved in the Downloads folder.
I am unable to determine which operating system you are using on your MacBook. Your profile lists iOS 5, but iOS5 is for an iPod Touch, iPhone, or iPad, not MacBook.
Your MacBook likely has one of the OS X 'cats': 10.4 Tiger, 10.5 Leopard, 10.6 Snow Leopard, or 10.7 Lion. Click on the Apple icon in the top left menubar and select About This Mac to see which operating system you are using.
If you are using OS X 10.7 "Lion", you should post your question in the OS X 10.7 Lion forum here:
https://discussions.apple.com/community/mac_os/mac_os_x_v10.7_lion
These instructions are for a Mac using OS X 10.6 "Snow Leopard" but the process is very similar with OS X 10.5 Leopard.
Here's one way:
Open Finder by clicking on the icon in the lower left corner of your Dock.
Under Places in the left column, click on the 'House' icon in the left column. It probably has your name after it.
That will open a list of file folders and files in the right column.
Click on the Downloads folder.
Clicking on the Name column heading in the right column will sort the file list by that column.
Clicking on the column heading a second time will sort the file list in reverse order.
Locate the file you want.
Single click on the filename and press the space bar to preview many types of files, including documents, spreadsheets, and images.
To open the file, double-click on the filename.
If the file has the extension .dmg, it is a disk image file (program to be installed) and will open the file installer dialog. You will likely need to enter your Administrator password to install the program.

After Effects download is missing from the Cloud Suite. How do I access?

The Adobe Application Manager is missing After Effects and a couple of other applications that are supposed to be included in the Cloud Suite. How do I access these applications?

You upgrade your operating system to something that actually supports those apps. All video apps require a 64bit OS. Refer to the system requirements on the product pages.

Can you set default tabs to open in the finder?

Hi, I love the new "tabs" feature in the finder. I use Bootcamp and have a partitioned drive, so on the Mac side, I like to keep one tab the "videos" folder of my windows drive open so I can easily view files without having to restart my computer and open Windows. Is there a way to set Finder to ALWAYS have this tab open and the other tab to the local "All my files"?

Not that I'm aware of.
You can set it so the Finder always opens with (or opens a new tab with) a specific location, including "All my Files."
However, you can't set Finder to automatically open with multiple tabs, each with a different default view. It's a good feature request.

Download tab closing when firefox gets closed

I reinstalled my windows and installed firefox again.
Now everytime when I close firefox my download tab closes to(the ctrl+J window).
I can't find it in the options how to put this off and it frustrates the hell out of me.
How to fix this?

It is normal behavior for the Download window to close when you close Firefox, ending the current file(s) being downloaded.
To receive a warning that a download is in progress, and get a pop-up option to not close firefox and continue the download:
#Try this, it gives you a warning, then you can choose to exit Firefox or cancel the exit and let the download continue. It SHOULD BE the default for this preference, but, sadly, it is not the default:
#Change a preference:
#*type __about:config__ in the URL/address bar and press the Enter key
#*if you see a warning, accept it (promise to be careful)
#*Filter = browser.download.manager.quitBehavior
#*right-click on the preference in the lower panel and choose '''''Modify'''''
#*enter the value 2, click OK
#*the "Value" column should now show 2
#*exit the about:config tab
#*See:

What changed in the Find/Change Object behavior?

In Indesign CS4 all graphics in a document could be centered through the Find/Change feature (Object tab) by leaving the Find field blank and setting the Change field to "Fitting Reference Point: Center" (clicking the center button). This no longer works in CS5. The feedback is of x number of objects changed, but none have.
It was handy, now it's gone.

No objects locked.
Actually, it seems stranger.
(BTW- The CS4 version is running on a Power Mac G5, pre-intel, Tiger.
The CS5 Version is on a Power Mac G5, Intel, Snow Leopard.)
If a single graphic is dragged or placed in the document, the Find/Change, as described, does nothing. When a second one is added, it works as expected, unless they are both jpegs or PSDs. In that case, they sometimes, disappear completly and are shown to be (in the links panel) on the pasteboard but not visible there. But, get this, add a pdf or AI file to the doc, and run it again and it works fine again. The revese order also applies. If I delete all but one graphic it stops working again.
In all cases the fitting commands work fine.
It seems as if there is some confusion in how the document object model is being addressed and filetype is in the mix.

Can't get back to the finder - driving me crazy

I'm using Safari. I close the Safari window and click on the desktop to get the Finder - I'm still in Safari.
I try to access the Finder by clicking on the Finder icon in the dock - no good, still in Safari.
I use Command-Tab to select the Finder - no good, still in Safari.
This happens often with Preview and Mail as well. After rummaging around awhile I can get back to the Finder, but this is a very big annoyance. And it seems to be getting worse.
Is this a known problem / bug in Leopard? Anyone else experiencing it? Any fix?

Donnie,
Did you attempt to reboot your Mini?
Did you repair permissions?
Did you try those applications in another account?
Did you try to refresh the finder plist file? If not, you may want to refresh the Finder plist file by dragging the com.apple.finder.plist file which is located in your Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Preferences folder to the Desktop. Then log out/in or restart and reset your settings in Finder>Preferences...>General.

Is there any way to remotely wipe an iPhone 4 without the use of iCloud and the find my phone app?

Download of version 3 of 'Find my Friends' app

Hi
I want to download version 3 of the 'Find My Friends' app as I cannot run version 4 on an iPhone 4 as it requires IOS8.
Version 4 only is now available on the store, where can I find a copy of version 3?

This is a good capability to have but, alas, I'm afraid it won't help me now, as I've since sync'ed my new phone running iOS8 and hence the version of Find My Friends in my iTunes is no longer version 3. Yes, I could perhaps use Time Machine to resurrect an old backup that contains the old version but this would entail a lot of hazardous and exceedingly time consuming purging and rebuilding of my phone that I'm not willing to try. You might say that I should have waited to start using my new phone in anticipation that Apple just might update FF (or any program for that matter) to the point that it no longer runs on older phones but I think that's asking an awful lot; ****, even Microsoft makes older versions of its programs available for people who have newly acquired old hardware, and I don't think it's asking a lot of Apple to do the same.
