Downloads disappear from box after completion. (2nd try, I screwed up the first - sorry)

When I perform a web download, the download box opens and one sees the download progress, however the box empties out after the download completes, (pdf or exe files). I now have to search out the file do do anything with it such as run it. It never used to be that way, the box always showed downloads done that day. .exe files go to downloads and pdf files go to a temp file deep in my user folder chain. I assume that they get cleaned out when the computer is shut down. I wish to permanently save all downloaded files unless deliberately deleted by myself. pdf files do open in Nitro, (which I far prefer to either Foxit which gave me a hard time and the ever bulky Acrobat Reader). How can I return to the original operation of the Downloads box?

I appreciate the help. I knew it had to be in there somewhere but there are too many boxes to check! Firefox shouldn't really have changed my options when I updated it without my knowledge and permission.

  • I downloaded different books on my iPad from iBook but when I try to read them the book isn't complete and I see lots of pages with error.

    I downloaded different books on my iPad from iBook but when I try to read them the book isn't complete and I see lots of pages with error.

    Have you tried closing the iBooks app completely and seeing if it works ok when you re-open it ? From the home screen (i.e.not with the iBooks app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the iBooks app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    If that doesn't work then you could try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
    If neither of the above work then you could also try deleting the app and re-installing it - as long as the books are still in the store and you use the same iTunes account as you originally used then you can re-download them for free : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519

  • Windows 7 disappear from bootcamp after  maverick installation

    Windows 7 disappear from bootcamp after  maverick installation. What should I do to recover?
    I did try co reinstall windows but it make the installation new (nothing remain from the previous). Old windows partition seems lost.

    Hi Jack.........ok ive managed to create a link to that video on how to install bootcamp.....this is the tutorial i used and i managed to gain 100% completion on bootcamp 1st time no messing......like i said in my previous reply did you save the windows support files from apple....(Critical).....ok no point in messing about i suggest you start again from scratch........these are the things i used and YOU will need to complete bootcamp
    mem stick or cd-r / dvd-r......original copy disc of win 7 ...i never used an iso i used original disc....allow a minimum of 30gb of space for your win 7 partition.....if you want bootcamp so you can use big programs like windows based games i.e.....Crysis/Call of duty etc etc ..then you will need to consider that  you will need to allow a bigger partition to allow your HD to store the files.....this is the reason i installed bootcamp and so i made my partition    i have a 750GB HD so i made a partition of 300gb for windows 7 and left the other 450gb for Mac....so you need to partition enough for what you want bootcamp for remember once you get bootcamp working you will need to install ALL Important Windows updates Including Win 7 SP1......once everything is installed you will have bootcamp up and running lovely.....u can then boot up with either win7 or mac......click this link and watch carefully and do exactly as shown ok and you should be fine...if you have any probs contact me again ok.....let me know how you get on ok..:)...http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=fvwp&v=QFIWtXTl4d0&NR=1

  • TS3899 Saved messages disappear from mailboxes after 'update'.

    Saved messages often disappear from mailboxes after an automatic 'update'. Why does that occur? If it's normal, how long are messages retained in a mailbox? Thanks

    Hi Milli,
    I think the problem is that Mail tries to download them in order & if it runs into one it can't it just stops, happens when a bad/malformed email is in the chain too.
    I think this may have cleared your problem though...
    Not certain, but this can fix myriad Mail problems...
    Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), it will try to repair your Disk Directory while the spinning radian is happening, so let it go, run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, then move these folder & file to the Desktop.
    Move this Folder to the Desktop...
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/Mail/
    Move this file to the Desktop...
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/Envelope Index
    Reboot.

    Recently I downloaded photos from an sd card. When the download was complete all photos were loaded in a random fashion completely out of order.This is the first time it has ever happened this way. downloaded same card to iPhoto and all photos were in order. Help needed. Am working on a job that needs immediate attention and HDR images out of order are impossible to deal with.

    Thanks for your help. The out of numerical order comes before the actual import begins. It happens when first uploaded to Lightroom and prior selection of of photos to imported to the catalog.

    I just bought aperture and downloaded it from app store. when I try to open the app I get a warning message that says: There was an error opening the database for the library “~/Pictures/Aperture Library.aplibrary”. The only option the is to quit. What is wrong?

    Hi,
    not sure what the problem might be, but you can try the following:
    While pressing ALT+CMD on the keyboard, click on the Aperture icon in the dock: Aperture then opens in a special "recovery mode", and you're prompted to choose what kind of repair you need: Repair Permissions / Repair Database / Rebuild Database
    Considering the situation, I'd recommend you to try "the "Repair Permissions" option first.
    If that isn't enough (and it may well be the case), then go straight for the "Rebuild Database" option; it's a non-destructive opration anyway, but since you've just installed Aperture you shouldn't have anything valuable in the default library...
    NOTE: if you do have some pictures in the library, instead, do a backup first! Time Machine is your friend
    Another option would be to launch Aperture while keeping only the ALT (option) key pressed: Aperture will ask you what library you want to open, or you can choose to create a new one from scratch.
    Good luck!
    Corrado

    I have Iphoto '09, version 8.1.2 (424). I am having an identical problem.  All my pictures are imported into Iphoto when I downloaded them from my camera.  Until recently, I thought that the pictures were actually saved in the library.  Since I need to crop my pictures for the web, and Iphoto doesn't do that, I purchased Photoshop Elements to do that.  To my surprise, when I try to get a picture from Iphoto to Photoshop, it can't be done. That was when I realized, after wasting a lot of time, that the photos are not in the Iphoto library.
    I started naming the pictures on Iphoto so I had a recognizable file name to open on Photoshop. Couldn't find it.  I looked in the Backup folder and the Transfer software folder (I have a Nikon camera), and the names I entered in the Iphoto display, could not be found.
    When I am trying to upload a photo to the web, I get the Finder folder showing  with an active folder called "Photos" under "Media", which only displays Iphoto and PhotoBooth.  This is a folder name that I cannot find in my HD anywhere when I look for it.  If I edit a picture with Photoshop, I am not going to save it back to Iphoto (not sure whether it will work properly).  How do I get my folder of edited photos to show when I want to upload a picture to the web?
    Where (the name of the folder) do I find the pictures I see displayed on the Iphoto library, including any name changes, keywords added, and so on?

    See my response to your other post.

  • Time Machine will not let me restore from backups after June, 2013.  I can see the files on the external hard drive but Time Machine skips all of them and goes back to June, 2013. Does anyone have any idea what the problem is?

    telling me to buy a new router is NOT a solution.
    And why not? Apple is selling these things like BigMacs. They can't make enough of them. You've been suffering since May because you refuse to get a decent router.
    Can you imagine if a company that makes a refrigerator told me that I needed to upgrade my electrical system to rectify a problem with their device? What kind of response IS that?!?!
    What if the problem with their device is that it requires a new-fangled "grounded" outlet and your circa 1890 house doesn't have grounded outlets. Would you refuse to purchase a $ 25 adapter on principle?

  • How can i download lion from 10.6.8 because I can not find the download on the app store?

    How can i download lion from 10.6.8 because I can not find the download on the app store?

    The only way you could get Lion for free was if you had purchased a new Mac within a certain number of days before Lion's release. Buyers could then get a free upgrade to Lion. That offer is long gone. Otherwise, it's never been free.
    Mavericks, 10.9.x is the first OS Apple has ever released for free to everyone (who's Mac can run it).

    Installed the CC updates yesterday. Downloaded pics from my Canon 70D in Camera Raw. Since the updates Bridge no longer recognizes them; advises me to get the latest update, which I have. Both Photoshop CC's recognize the pics, just not Bridge (thanks for having Photoshop now show thumbnails of CR pics). Any Ideas on how to fix?

    Thanks for the link Jeff. Couldn't find any links on the Adobe site.
    Even with that link though, I was still left puzzled as it didn't give multiple versions, just a 32 bit and 64 bit version.
    I tried the 64 bit and it didn't work, so I assumed that was what had already been installed in the update.
    Now installed the 32 bit version, and fingers crossed. At least it starts up now!

  • Since downloading osx v10.7lion every time i try to connect to the internet using BT Broadband i keep getting a message saying " you cant openthe application ) because Power PC applications are no longer supported." this is very annoying as i likeBT ?????

    Since downloading osx v10.7lion every time i try to connect to the internet using BT Broadband i keep getting a message saying
    " you cant openthe application ) because Power PC applications are no longer supported." this is very annoying as i likeBT and the way it opens with all the local up to date news plus other apps +++ 
    Please can anyone help me as apple will not help unless i sign up for a new product agreement which i cannot understand as every thing worked before this so called very latest software that everyone cant do without  ?????

    I had the same problem with some apps and printer setup software. SInce Rosetta has been discontinued on Lion my only solution was to restore to 10.6 since the manufacturers either have not yet or will not release updated apps. In this case you have to determine how important those old PPC apps are to keep around and if there alternitives that are available to replace the functionality. I would expect a broadband provider to update thier apps if it is something that is required to connect.
