Downloads going to The "Temp" Folder

Hi! I've had this problem for a while now and now i want to fix it. I see other people have this problem too. When i download a file and open it dircetl, its saves in the Temp folder on my C drive(witch is an SSD) I don't want it there and i have not asked them to go there, I want it on my 2nd harddrive, Witch is where i got it set up to go. Is there any way to get files you open directly to go to the folder that you set? or is this impossible?
Troubleshooting Information Included.

Firefox immediately starts downloading the file in the background and saves the file to the temp folder and doesn't wait until you specify the name and the location (destination folder).
If the file stays in the temp folder then it is possible that your security software is blocking the file and prevents Firefox from moving the file to the specified destination folder.
You would have to change the TMP and TEMP environment variables to point to a location (X:\\temp) on that other drive.

My company blocks executables from running in the Temp folder. How can I install Firefox without it trying to run download.exe from a temp folder?

I found a workaround for the problem of not being able to run executables from the Temp folder.
I happened upon the Full Firefox installer download page. I downloaded the full installer and used WinRar to extract the downloaded file to a folder then I could run setup.exe and Firefox installed successfully.
Please publish the link to the full Firefox installer on the same page where the stub installer is published.
Thank you.

Hello,
Full installers can always be downloaded here:

I am assuming you went to this page:

I notice the page has changed a little from the last time I saw it, but you can reach the first link I posted by clicking "Systems & Languages".

Safe to delete content from the Temp folder under AppData?

Hi everyone,
Is it safe to delete the contents from the Temp folder (C:\Windows\ServiceProfiles\LocalService\AppData\Local\Temp) in the SharePoint 2013 web front end servers?
For some reason I see around 30 GB of temp files. Came across
this blog post but in my case ULS logs are still being generated in the D drive. Not sure how those Temp files are being created. Application servers seem to be fine.
Tried -
changing the ULS log path from D to C and back to D drive (as per the above blog post... no luck)
tried restarting the SP tracing service
Any suggestions would be appreciated!

I'm trying to delete multiple pix in iPhoto that i stupidly made duplicates of without knowing, I've tried going into the applications folder and using image capture but i think I've missed a step , can anyone send the correct info / steps pls thanks

I'm trying to delete multiple pix in iPhoto that i stupidly made duplicates of without knowing, I've tried going into the applications folder and using image capture but i think I've missed a step , can anyone send the correct info / steps pls thanks

again image capture is not involved with deleting photos from iPhoto in any way ever
the paid version of iPhoto Library Manager is very good for finding duplicates as is Duplicate Annihilator
And I have no idea who told you this - or what it means - but re-read both of my opening statements
I was told I could delete multpiles thru image capture by transferring my iPhoto library etc

PDF files have suddenly started downloading to the temp folder instead of the download folder where they used to be-- the downloads folder is marked correctly

all downloads are set to go to downloads file-- PDFs have quit going there and are in temp folder instead-- all other downloads are still going to the right place

Deleting the '''mimeTypes.rdf''' will reset all download actions to the default settings.
Type '''about:support''' in the address bar and press enter.
Under the page logo on the left side you will see '''Application Basics.'''
Under this find '''Profile Folder.''' To it’s right press the button
'''Show Folder.''' This will open your file browser to the current
Firefox profile. Now '''Close Firefox.'''
Locate the file. Then rename or delete it. Restart Firefox.

Movie downloads but stays in temp folder with no artwork

I purchased the old classic Forrest Gump and watched it fully download. However when completed it showed up in movies but with no artwork and when i double clicked it could not locate the file and showed the '!' symbol. When i searched around i noticed the 'Dowbloads' folder inside the Itunes Media folder. Inside that was Forrest Gump.tmp folder with a download.m4v file which was indeed my movie which would play in itunes but with no artwork and no authorization for Apple TV.
I found a free movie today on itunes which downloaded just fine, placed itself where it should go, with artwork and working fine on the Apple TV..
Is it possible for there to be a currupted file on the itunes servers?
I accidently purchased Forrest Gump again and it did exactly the same thing. This morning it had moved itself to the right location but still artwork or authorization for apple TV
I got a responce from support saying they noticed the double purchase and would refund me but they still didn't listen or solve my problem.

From the top of the page where the scripts live...
The general method of use is to download the script to a folder of your choice, e.g. your Desktop, Downloads folder or create a folder at ...\iTunes\Scripts. Select a playlist or highlight some tracks in iTunes and then double-click on the script to execute it. If no specific tracks are selected the script will try to work with all tracks in the current playlist. Some scripts offer a choice of track by track confirmation of changes or fully automatic processing of the selection. Many of the scripts can optionally display a progress bar while running.
You are strongly advised to backup your entire library, or at the very least the iTunes Library.itl file, before use. Test the behaviour of your chosen script on a small group of files first to make sure it does what you want before applying it to large numbers of files.
Most builds of Windows will execute *.vbs scripts when you double-click them. If that doesn't happen then you might need to visit the Add/Remove Programs or Programs & Features control panel to enable the Windows Scripting Host. I can track down details if you have issues.
Backing up and restoring data is an area that is often glossed over. Most people don't try to learn much about it until they've lost something important. (Me too )
If your iTunes library was in the usual layout then normally copying the whole iTunes folder from the User's Music folder in the old computer to the User's Music folder in the new one will usually work fine. Ideally this is done before iTunes is installed so that there is no empty library to replace, and all settings are picked up from the old library. This post contains more details.

Why isn't all my downloaded music in the Media Folder(Windows 7 iTunes 11)

I recently purchased a new PC. When I installed iTunes back on my new PC, it pulled down all my music. I can go to any song and it will play with no problems. However, when I was needing to add some music to a project, I went to iTunes\iTunes Media\Music I only see a very few of my songs. Where are they? Do I have to pay for them again and download? I now wish that I had not installed the new version.
Thanks to anyone that has an answer

Had the media folder changed at some point?
You can use File > Library > Organize Library > Consolidate Files to bring in copies of the files that are outside of the media folder having checked you've got the right folder selected. You'll need to manually clean up the originals.
Backup the library before you make changes, then update the backup once you're certain everything is as you want it. Refresh the backup regularly.

Can I--should I--combine the newer iTunes Media folder--new since 10.5.1--and the older iTunes Music folder? I just realized all my new songs are going into the Media folder, and I kind of like the simplicity of everything being in one, not two, folders.

Most of my music--the VAST majority--is in iTunes Music, but all the new songs are going into iTunes Media, which is new, I think, since 10.5.1.

The missing file thing happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout,or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
At guess you've used a different profile name. Files inside the media folder have survied the transfer, but those outside are expected to be on the same absolute file paths, but no longer are.
Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then cancel when asked to try to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions.
Alternatively, as long as you can find a location holding the missing files, then you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes.

Downloading Music Into the Genre Fold

I have a Zen Sleek, and while I love it, I have a small problem with it. I listen to a lot of Opera and Broadway Musicals. And I would like to be able to download an Opera or Musical in the Genre area as a whole CD and not individual songs. As it stands now, when I download a CD it breaks it up in the genre folders by the artist who sang it. I don't want that. I want to be able to download an opera into the genre folder as a whole CD and not by artist. Is there a way to do that? Thanks.

If you have one CD/album featuring lots of artists, each artist will be listed separately in Genres for the tracks they have sung. It sounds like perhaps you should make sure each track on the CD has the same 'Album' tag and then browse by 'Album' not 'Genre', where you will then get a whole list of tracks on that album in order of track number.

Imported Files going in the wrong folder

Elements Organizer 10 started misplacing all the Imported Files in the folder above at some point.
In Folder Location view (under Display) I right click folder B and chose Import to Elements Organizer. Once the Import is finished, all photos but one are under folder A instead... needless to say my catalog now looks very messy because photos show in folders with different names. In Finder they appear in the right place, and even the File Properties in Elements show the correct location. Just not the Folders.
I have about 20k files imported in my catalogue, this started happening recently and affects only files imported in certain external drives or partitions.
I tried the repairs, optimizations, reconnects etc. for the catalogue, looked for updates and restarted the software many times now.
How can I fix this?

Hi guys,
Sorry about slow time to reply.
I'll try to be a bit more specific.
The problem seems to happen only with a new firewire drive, Lacie Rugged 1gb.
I have Mac OS X v10.6.8, processor 2.26Ghz, intel core duo, 8Gb 1067 DDR3; Elements Organizer 10.0
The problem happens regardless of how I import the files, ie in thumbnail or folder view, and my procedures have not changed since using previous drives (right click folder and chose Import to Elements Organizer). If I am in thumbnail view or folder batch view the files are there, however having to browse among Ks of files is not my preference, I like folder view better.
I think the image below explains it better: the folder selected is called Group Tax team day (bottom left). The photo at the top is actually from this folder, but the one at the bottom (and all the others then) are from a folder called HK Dez 2012, which is the last that was imported directly below. You can actually see that the path at the top of the image does not match the selected folder on the lower left. And btw, this means that the files at the top folder in the drive cannot be found in folder view, since they have no folder to move to.
Appreciate any help on this!

I have windows 7 and can't get my bookmark to come out of the bookmark folder and onto a toolbar that I CAN ACCESS WITHOUT GOING INTO THE BOOKMARK FOLDER

I tried dragging from the site onto the toolbar, and even though that works on my Mac, doesn't on Win. 7. I saved Facebook to my bookmark toolbar in the bookmarks folder, but can't get it out of the folder.

My iphone 4s just developed a similar problem. Ultimately, after a visit to the Genius Bar at which I was offered a replacement phone for $149, I took the phone to a non-Apple repair shop which diagnosed the problem as tarnished pins in the docking connector and replaced the connector for $49.
The symptoms I experienced were that the phone would not pull a charge. I tried different cables, wall outlet versus computer USB connection, etc. The screen stayed black until I depressed the sleep button, at which time the red battery / lightening bolt symbol would flash three times and then the screen would go black.
If your battery is dead, that icon will not show up at all. If you get the icon, it means your battery is run down and needs to recharge, but the defective docking connector is preventing the battery from taking the charge.

I send myself an email and it goes into the Junk folder

Sometimes - but not always - when I send myself an email, from my own computer and not a work computer, the email ends up in the Junk folder. I mark it as Not Junk and move it to the In Box but that doesn't solve the problem. As I say, this doesn't happen with every email I send myself, just sometimes. For the most part, Junk works just like it's supposed to and I like it. It's just kind of weird that MY computer thinks MY mail is junk. (Well, it might be, but that's another story.)
For what it's worth, my email address is a .mac account.
Any thoughts on how to fix this?

When I try to put the downloaded firefox into the application folder, it says a newrer version already exists, do you want to replace it. What should I do.

I have several older versions of Firefox in my application folder. I downloaded 5.0 and when I went to put it into my application folder a pop up window said a NEWER version already is in the folder - do I want to replace it.
It doesn't make sense. It won't just accept the new version as it previously did with other versions. I just want to know if I should go ahead and replace version.

If there are problems with updating or with the permissions then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the DMG file to the desktop
* Firefox 6.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
* Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
* Install the new version that you have downloaded
Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data.
