Downloads disappear-or never make it despite looking like they have.

Some time ago and in an apparent "instant", Firefox stopped saving/getting/accepting/etc downloads from the www. It isn't sporadic, site-size based...the problem is 100% consistent.
Everything appears to happen as it should. Prompts, help windows, even the final DOWNLOADS window appears.
2 clues:
1) I am never aksed WHERE I want to save the download.
2) Although the DOWNLOADS window appears, including the correct name of the attempted download file; the "resolution" is almost instantaneous...as if the connection/download/etc never actually happens.
NO...the download file is not being stored in some hidden or unknown folder....it, simply, isn't happening.
Ideas?
I really don't like IE, but am being forced to use it!

  • My iPad 3 makes all photos transferred from my PC look like they have a yellowish colour cast.

    All photos transferred from PC have washed out, yellowish look to them. Same photographs appear fine on PC monitor and strangely, look fine when viewed through Flickr on iPad, not through Photos. All other colours look great on device. Same photos look fine too on my old first gen iPad. Any ideas?

  • Horrible colors in pictures..people look like they have sunburns!  Help!

    Hey all, I was editing pics in Photoshop and noticed that the colors just seemed off...very "digitally" where you can see the pixels. When I hit "Proof Colors" in photoshop, the pixels dissapeared and the pictures look normal...what gives?
    When i view the same pics on my old dell laptop, the pictures look normal as well..what gives? I noticed the problem is worse when the pictures already have a amberish tint to it.
    I've already calibrated my screen using the Eye-One display so i can't figure this out..help!

    Make sure that you haven't mistakenly changed your profile to ProPhoto RGB. ProPhoto can make skintones shot in sRGB look sunburned.
    That can sometimes happen when importing through iPhoto, or when converting to ColorSync profiles in Photoshop.
    Good luck!

  • Hi, I just downloaded a bunch of RAW files into Lightroom 5.6 and they all look like they've been put through acid. Can someone please help? TYVM!

    Hi, I just downloaded a bunch of RAW files into Lightroom 5.6 and they all look like they've been put through acid. Can someone please help? TYVM!

    Jim and Rob, thank you for taking your time to respond. I have a mac & a pc with 4 gigs of RAM in each. I originally experienced the problem on my mac and afterwards the same thing happened on the pc. I shoot with a canon 5d mark iii and never had this problem before, but what I'm realizing is that I'm running out of space on both the mac & the pc. After an afternoon of shooting today, I filled up a 32-gig card, so my TB hard drives are filling up ridiculously fast. I need to drop some load off both drives and reboot. Hope this will resolve the issue as I really don't think it's a canon-LR problem (I'm using the most updated 5.6 version). Again, thanks for your input. I'll keep you posted.

  • Why did Apple make iTunes 7 look like a Windows XP App.?

    Why did Apple make iTunes 7 look like a Windows XP App.? This version of iTunes doesn't even look like it belongs in OSX. It's ugly is about the only way I can put it. I can't figgure out why they removed the EQ icon and didn't even assign a key command for it. Now yoy have to go into the menu to select it. Also I have noticed that it sometimes downloads the wrong artwork for album covers. The old version of iTunes seemed much better and I have reverted back to it untill Apple fixes the problems with version 7 and makes it look like part of the OSX family of applications.

    Well I wouldn't say it was ugly but some changes do leave something to be desired.
    I certainly aggree about the equaliser button and the visualiser button has gone too but at least they assigned a key command for it. The scrollbars need more colour and I'd prefer the buttons at the bottom to stand out a bit more like the ones at the top.
    I see no reason to go back to iT6 though, especially as I would misss Cover Flow. You could have a long wait for a change of interface and in the meantime you miss out on the good parts of iT7. If your track information is correct and identical to that on the Store then it shouldn't get the wrong artwork. Luckily I already had most of my album covers in place from other sources such as Amazon and just used iTunes to get a few more. My only complaint about the Get Album Artwork feature is that it's getting it from the US store when I want it from the UK store.
    Anyway these forums are really here to enable users to help each other solve problems and not to discuss Apple's decisions. If there are things you want changing then do what I and others do and send constructive criticisms and requests via the link below, if you haven't already.

  • How do I make multiple movies look like one?

    I created a demo of 136 slides with mostly screencaps and one
    small flash animation. The final published flash file is
    approximately 30MB. When the demo is run on multiple computers, the
    CPU utilization rises up to almost 100%, this makes the demo run
    very slowly on most computers. I was advised to cut my captivate
    movie in half ( in slides)... however even then the CPU utilization
    is quite high. How can I break my demo into multiple linked movies
    (to bring down the file size) but still have it play smoothly
    without it stopping to load after each new movie? How do I make
    multiple movies look like one?
    Thank you.

    Would it work to make the navigation of the page go to the
    next movie?

  • Some songs will not sync to my iPhone 4s, looks like they are loading but they never do.

    Recently I downloaded some new music and now when I try to sync to my iPhone 4S none of the songs i downloaded are syncing to my phone and even some of the songs that were on my phone are not anymore. On iTunes on "On this phone" or whatever the songs are there but it looks like they are loading even after the sync is over. I would really like some help cause this is really annoying... Thanks!

    Same here, I have a new iPhone 5S and it will not allow me to put any music on it unless I have purchased it from iTunes, even music that I own and have ripped from the CD will not upload to the phone. Really Bloody Annoying!
    Should have stayed with Android!

  • How do I make 29.97fps look like film?

    Sorry for the novice questions, but all of my footage has been shot on a relatively inexpensive camcorder which records at 29.97fps. Is there any easy way to make it look like a 24fps film when I play it back on my NTSC television?
    I am relatively new to FCP but I have started learning compressor and I also heard about a program called 'Nattress?"
    Any help would be appreciated!!!
    -Brian

    There have been endless discussion and tutorials on how to make 29.97 look like film, so I would also check Google. One of the more commonly known plugins that will do this is called Magic Bullet. But be aware, there is only so much that can be done with DV footage shot on a relatively inexpensive camcorder (I'm assuming DV). Most "film effects" plugins will provide you with a nice number of presets that will soften your image, simulate pulldown, add grain, and do some heavy color correction. But they can't invent pixel data that isn't there to begin with.
    What really makes shooting on film so unique and eye catching is that if you can afford to work with it, chances are you can also afford high quality lenses and professional lighting. Things like motion blur, grain, lack of color sampling and a high dynamic range are what give film a unique look. Personally, I think getting a true "film look" for DV is a bit of an impossibility, but people have done some nice stuff with these plugins. Unfortunetly, until the really high end video formats make it into our Handycams, I think we're stuck with simulating the effects, rather than duplicating them.

  • Problem syncronizing my iPod Shuffle.  iTunes makes it look like I have 2.

    I have a new iPod generation 2 Shuffle. For some reason wnem I connect it to my USB port, it makes it look like I have 2 different iPod Shuffles. The first one shown under iTunes is as I registered it and says "Brad's iPod". The second one just says "iPod", yet shows the same serial number as shown under the first one with my name. I keep getting an error message when the second pops up and says that it seems that the iPod is corrupted and suggests I select the option to reset everything as it was with original factory settings. It prevents mefrom synchronizing my iPod.
    Why is this doing this? Is there anyway to delete the second "instance" of the iPod being shown under the name of simply "iPod"? Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks!
    Brad

  • How to make new Firefox look like old Firefox?

    I was looking at the new version of Firefox and really don't like how it looks. If I update to it is there a way to make Firefox look like the old one? 3.6.24 is the version I'm using now, and I really like how it looks.

    To restore the old appearance right click the orange Firefox button to open the toolbar context menu or use (F10) View > Toolbars.
    * Click the Menu Bar entry and place a check-mark to make the Menu Bar visible all the time (Windows and Linux).
    * Click "Tabs on Top" to remove the check mark and place the Tab Bar at its original position just above the browser window.

  • Possible to make a chart look like this?

    I'd like to make a chart look like
    this.
    Is this possible and if yes with which chart type and
    settings, or if no, could someone point me to
    some tutorial or guides how to draw custom shapes and line
    with flex?
    thanks,
    Mickey

    Hi Tony,
    Fisrt it's sure to use datetime, date and time range as a dimension for
    crosstab.
    The default type of ORDERDATE is Date, so you should define a computed
    column in dataset: expression is row["ORDERDATE"] type is Date Time or
    Time. Then using them in your cube.
    If you want display like:
    Jan 1, 00:00 to 11:59 x1
    Jan 1, 12:00 to 23:59 x2
    Jan 2, 00:00 to 11:59 x3
    you should make sure that the ORDERDATE dimension is a Regular group but
    not a Date group. Because the Date group can not set the static level. Do
    you know how to set the regular dimension? In cube builder, when you drag
    ORDERDATE column into Groups, there will be a selection dialog pops up,
    you just chose the regular group is ok. Then you can define your static
    levels to display x1, x2 and x3. There is another way but now we didn't
    open this feature now, the date level will suppport user to define its
    interval(range), but the display is only the number of hour but not 11:59.
    see bug
    #189340(https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=189340)
    Second, chart can not using the cube's dimension as an axis, chart only
    can use the dataset as its data source, please see comments #3 in
    bug#192853.
    Regards!

  • How to make a crop looks like a camera zoom?

    If I crop a part of a video and want to make the crop looks like a camera zoom... is there a "zoom transition" to put before and after the crop part? Million thanks if someone can solve this technical question...

    Activate the Crop function Shift-C and selec the middle crop function in the top left.
    Press the keyframe button.

  • How to make a shape look like paint?

    Hi,
    Hope you're doing well.
    As you'll see in the attached picture, I'm trying to make this bottle look like a bowling ball. I've drawn the two red stripes and think they work pretty well but still look very "photoshopped." Anyone have any suggestions as to how to make it look more realistic but still good looking?
    Thanks very much.

    Do you have any suggestions as to how I could create a nicer white background like they have in many stock photos. I've attached one that is like what I'd like to create.
    Thanks!

  • To make KDE apps look like KDE apps

    Hi everybody!
    I am very new to Arch so please don't be hard on me. :-)
    I have some problem with looks of apps. I use Gnome but I also have Xfce and KDE installed. My KDE apps look like this:
    As you can see - buttons of Gnome on KDE app. I want to make all apps look like the DE they belong. How do I do that?

    I think that that it would be very hard to use Oxygen effects outside KDE (not kwin: oxygen style has it's own effects).
    When you turn off those effects in KDE apps lok exactlly the same as on your image.
    With effects they look like this:
    Maybe someone has managed to „tweak" something.... hope so.
