Download to desktop, progress bar on icon wont go away

I generally use Chrome to brows the web. I have my browsers set to put downloaded files on my desktop. When I download a file, it shows up on the desktop with a blank icon and a progress bar while it's downloading. When it's done downloading, it's supposed to change the icon to a thumbnail of the file. This works sometimes, but about a quarter of the time it seems to stay on the blank icon with the progress bar, with the progress bar almoast complete, but not quite. This happens despite the fact that the file has actually finished downloading. I can open the file and everything, it just has an icon that seems to indicate that it is not ready. If I "get info" on the file, it removes the progress bar after several seconds, but the icon is still blank, and the problem persists for new files.
I'm running OSX 10.9.2 on a imac with 3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
Chrome Version 34.0.1847.131
Though it seems like this problem has been around for a long time, probably multiple versions of both. I'd love to find a resolution to this problem.

What other way would you like us to suggest, if you've "tried everything there is to try"? : )

Facebook f icon wont go away

my facebook (f) icon wont go away and i have no new notifications or messages. same thing with my myspace icon. anyone know how to fix this please???

Are those Facebook and MySpace notificiation icons in the upper part of your homescreen?
Tips for clearing that unread message... try them in order.
If you have a rogue New Message icon on your Homescreen, or a negative count (-1), any one of these solutions could clear it, or reset it to zero:
Try these options:
* Hard Reset the BlackBerry by holding ALT, CAP (right Shift key), and DEL (or with the BlackBerry powered ON, remove the battery and reinserting the battery)
* View Messages > Saved Messages
* View Messages > View Folders, check each folder (missed calls, SMS in and out boxes, MMS in and out boxes, Saved, browser, phone logs etc)
* Scroll to top of message folder, over the date heading, click or press menu to MARK PRIOR OPEN
* Change your theme and see if it persists, and change back to your desired theme. (Options > Theme > select.)
* Wipe and reload your OS.

How can I make it so downloads have a progress bar?

In the newest version (14.0) there are no progress bar or percentage on downloads in the notification pulldown. They also don't appear in the Downloads page of Firefox until they are done downloading.
Is there a way to get either of those back? I've looked at the Extensions for mobile, and with the few that have been made in the short time this version has been out, none of them would help with this. Are there any options that I can't find?
If there isn't, can you please add this sometime in the future? It's driving me mad not knowing how far my download is.

Sorry about that! We are working on adding this back to Firefox in an upcoming version:

My ipod touch 4g is turning up or down by itself, and the speaker icon wont go away

Okay this first started yesterdy morning, when my ipod touch4g was acting funny it wouldnt turn off, so i thought if i plugged it in it would fix itself, so i thought restoring would help it,made it worse it started turning off and on apple logo came on a few times, now i got it where i can turn it off and on okay but now i cant seem to controle the volume, and the speaker icon is showing and wont go away, and when i try turning it down when i play a song or a video, it will turn back up by itself, or it will turn down by itself,
what would be the best way to fix this without taking it in? the nearest apple store is dallas and i dont wanna spend all the money in gas to go up there, and then see what arm and leg i gotta cut off to get them to fix it.
should i restore and resync it one more time or should i start saving for a new ipod along with the new computer im needing?

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

How do I get rid of the blue "downloading the latest applications" bar which won't go away even after uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox?

Can't get rid of the blue "downloading the latest applications" bar that seems to be just hanging and won't go away. I uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox, but the bar is still there after 2 days. I updated something (can't remember what!) on I.E., and it had the same blue bar, but it had a box I could x out of so it went away on I.E. I don't know why the blue bar is there on Firefox, as I did the update while on I.E.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I updated an application while on Internet Explorer.

Annette,
#In the menu bar, at the top of the Firefox window, Go to Tools -> Add-ons -> Extensions.
# Locate ''each ''of the following extensions by name and click the disable button
#Restart Firefox as prompted and see if the undesired toolbar has been removed.
#The extensions to disable are: '''Crawler Toolbar''', '''MP3 Rocket Toolbar''', '''MSN Toolbar''', '''Search Helper Extension'''
If you don't need some / all of those toolbars, consider leaving them disabled.
You can probably remove these toolbars permanently from Start -> Control Panel -> Add/Remove Programs.

Voicemail icon wont go away

Hi, guys. This is my first post, although I have been lurking a while. You guys are full of solutions! Hopefully, you can solve mine my BB 8350i has a voicemail icon on it. I have no voicemails at all, and I want it gone. I am weird about stuff, and I will continue to check the VM until the icon is gone, although I know there is no VM there. Anyone have any solutions?? Thanks in advance!
Vanessa
**I accidently posted this in the 8900 forum. I hope it's okay to post here, which is where it belongs, I believe.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

If you have an errant voicemail waiting icon on your homescreen:
Call your voicemail and clear the message.
Call your BB from another line and leave a message. From you BB, call your voicemail and clear and delete your messages.
If the above fails, pull your battery to reset and reboot your BlackBerry.

Charger icon wont go away??

i got an ipod from my friend and i updated it. then this little icon telling me to plug it into a wall power supply. and if i leave it in my computer then it just sits there.
any ideas?
thanx
steve

You can use the iPod's AC adapter, a car adaptor, a 6-pin FireWire port on a computer, a system such as the iPod Hi-Fi, or this method to charge the iPod enough for the update process to complete. In addition, if there is an Apple Store nearby, they may complete the update for free.

Plug into outlet icon wont go away

I bought a used ipod and tried to update it on an iBook. Well, when it was all said and done... I was left with an ipod that only wanted to get plugged in. So, I bought a charger and tried that... well, it didnt work. So, I thought maybe it was the battery, so I replaced that. That didnt work either. So, now all my ipod does is show the wall charge icon. What are the suggestions? Any body seen any thing like this?

"Any body seen any thing like this"
Yes, when updating or restoring some iPods via a usb connection, it needs to be plugged into power via the charger to complete the process, and this is why you see that icon displayed. It's also why older iPods that required this step were supplied with a power adaptor as standard.
Is the charger an Apple one, and have you considered that this used iPod is broken? Did you try resetting the iPod whilst connected to the charger?
You can try this.
http://www.bearsdriving.com/blog/archives/2005/10/youripod_tipo.html
I make no claims as to whether this will work (but I've seen other posts where it has), but merely point it out.
Other than that, your iPod cannot be used until you complete this process.

Little sick ipod icon wont go away

hey all,
my ipod screen displays the little sick ipod picture. iv tried, recharging in, reseting it, restoring it... everything but the picture still remains. My first ipod I sent away because it froze, this is the replacement one they send me and the 90 day warranty expires a few days ago. any tips?

1. Try these five steps (known as the five Rs) will conquer most iPod issues.
http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/
2. Try to put the iPod into Disk Mode if it fails to appear on the desktop
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93651
Still can't see your iPod?
Several things could keep iPod from appearing in iTunes or in the Desktop/Finder when you connect it to your PC/Mac. The most likely causes are listed below in logical order. Check each one starting from the top of the list to see if that is what's keeping iPod from appearing.
3. Try to wait 30 minutes while iPod is charging.
4. Try another known-good FireWire or USB through Dock Connector cable.
5. Try another known-good FireWire or USB port on your computer .
6. Try to disconnect all devices from your computer's FireWire and USB ports.
7. Try to connect on a different computer i.e. a PC formatted iPod connect with a Mac computer or Mac formatted iPod with a Window base PC.
8. Try to do a Erase (Disk Utility) on a Mac computer or a reformat with a PC (Disk Management tool) but ensure you choose the right Drive (your iPod not your Hard Disk of your computer).
9. Try to run the iPod in “Diagnostic mode” . which can be accessed by pushing the “hold” switch into the “on” position and then “off” (into the original position). Then press the following buttons in the following order: “menu” plus “select” (centre button) then press “reverse” plus “select”. This will take you to the hidden diagnostic mode screen menu. It may take a few trials and pressing the buttons in the right way for this to work, so be patient and keep trying if you have to. The diagnostic mode will give you 7 choices which are: Memory, IO, Power, Status, SysCfg, Diskmode, and Reset. Don’t bother trying “reset” because in my case it didn’t work it just took me back to the same problem. Instead, choose “diskmode”, after which you should get an odd looking “ok to disconnect” sign on the iPod screen.
If one of the above step helps to get your iPod to be recognized with your computer, do a Restore.

After restoring apple icon wont go away [HELP]

i restarted it but then disconected it and now the only thing the screen shows is an apple. after it disapears only a language menu appears. then i connect it to the computer and the apple appears in an instant. i dont know what to do!

bigmama6, please consult Apple's instructions for the 5 R's:
http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/
Follow the directions on the page, then try each of the R's one at a time, fully. Be sure to do the 5 R's in the order they appear because "Restore" is a last resort since it erases all content on your iPod.
Apple's official information on this seems to be destructive to your content right away, so only do this if you really have to:
iPod only shows an Apple logo and doesn't start up

MacOSX 10.9.2 broke this Applescript progress bar :(

Hello,
Ever since I upgraded to MacOS 10.9.2, this download script with progress bar, which I frequently use, stopped working. Well the download bit works,
but the progress bar, do not show the progress anymore.
I have tried to resolve the issue, but I cannot get my head around what is wrong. So I hope someone out there can give me a helping hand, in solving
the problem.
The script is supposed to read the lines in the curl command output file, and show the current status in a dialog box, and then finish when it reaches
100%. But for some reason the dialog box, which is supposed to repeately show a dialog with the current progress, now do not appear before the
download reaches 100%. Hence no way to know the current progress of the download.
So is there anyone who knows why this script stopped working with MacOS 10.9.2, and even more importantly, anyone who knows how to fix it?
Thanks..
do shell script "curl -L -o ~/Desktop/file.dmg 'https://download.mozilla.org/?product=firefox-27.0.1-SSL&os=osx&lang=en-GB' > ~/Desktop/status 2>&1 &" with administrator privileges
          set fileSize to 0
          set curTransferred to 0
          set curProgress to 0
          repeat until curProgress = "100"
                    try
                              set lastLine to paragraph -1 of (do shell script "cat ~/Desktop/status")
                              set curProgress to word 1 of lastLine
                              set fileSize to word 2 of lastLine
                              set curTransferred to word 4 of lastLine
                              tell me
                                        display dialog "Downloading. Please wait...
Status: " & curTransferred & " of " & fileSize & " (" & curProgress & "%)" buttons {"please wait", "cancel"} giving up after 4
                                        if the button returned of the result is "cancel" then return
                              end tell
                    end try
          end repeat

So you can see a recurring dialog box that shows the current progress of the download? and you are using Maverick 10.9.2 ?
I have tried on three different Macs with 10.9.2, on different networks, and all with the same problem. The dialog box will not show before the download reaches 100%.
If you mean the "event log" in the applscript app. Then no, there is no indication of any error. Which also bugs me, or els a solution could possible be easier to locate.
OMG. while writing this, I just noticed you comment about no need for administrator privileges.. I remove that bit from the script, and guess what, now it WORKS Thx a million...

Annoying Little Circle wont go away on my e66

This little grey circle on the top right corner of my media icon wont go away. This happened after I opened the now playing application. Unfortunately I cant get it to go away. Suggestions? Would love it if i could turn that option off.
And yes, I'm aware its because one of my applications is on. I just can't tell which one.
Message Edited by pokealot on 25-Apr-2009 09:41 AM
Solved!
Go to Solution.

The media icon represents a folder.
Go into it and there will be another icon with a circle next to it. That is the application running. Close it and the circle will go away.
So, in case you hadn't worked it out, the circle represents not only an application that's running, but also a folder containing an application that's running.
