Downloads saving to wrong location

I changed the value for Downloads, Save Files to My Documents\Downloads but files are still being saved to C:\Documents and Settings\user\Local Settings\Temp.

Oh right i forgot the first answer to every problem is "reinstall firefox".
Does anyone have a suggestion that does not involve reinstalling firefox and wiping my profile?

Apps updates/downloads saved in wrong folder

Hi,
I have just transferred my iTunes library to my new NAS (WD MyCloud). I simply copied over my entire iTunes folder from the iMac internal hard drive to the NAS, deleted all the content from iTunes and added everything back from the new location/folder. I also changed the iTunes Medial folder location in the Advanced Preference settings.
Everything seems to work fine with the exception of the App updates/downloads. Whenever I update an existing App or download a newone it will be saved in the old folder on the internal hard drive of my iMac.
This drives me crazy...please help!
Thanks in advance,
Sebastien.

I think you mean +command shift s+ (Save As…).
When you *Save As…* you need to choose where to save your initial document, after that just saving will save it in the right spot.
Inside the *Save As…* dialog box you are free to navigate to other locations either within the column view or by clicking on the folder name at the top of the window, which will reveal the sets of folders enclosing the one you are in ie higher up the hierarchy. To go up the list, just scroll down the menu and let go at the folder you want to move to.
Also on the left of the *Save As…* dialogue box is your sidebar of frequent locations, you can click on those. To add your own folders to your Sidebar drag in their icon in Finder.
Also there is a *Search field* to the right of the folder name in the *Save As…* dialogue box, where you can look for folders or files to move to.
To help you move around more and have more choices at your finger tips, try:
http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/7214/default-folder-x
*Default Folder X* is an enormous assist if you don't quite get the computer file system. It lets you click outside the Save dialogue on the folder you want to save to and it jumps there.

Right click - save image keeps saving to wrong location

I moved my firefox profile over from my old computer.
Now when i do right click -> save image as, it SOMETIMES defaults to C:\Users\test\Documents. Which was my old default location.
I have changed it to C:\Users\Question\Documents on my current computer but it randomly changes back to C:\Users\test\Documents. I cannot find a pattern that causes it to change, but it seems to happen mainly after i restart my computer (not always though).
Can someone please tell me how to get it to change to C:\Users\Question\Documents PERMANENTLY?

hello, there's a general regression in firefox 27 that won't allow files to download directly into a root drive. please try to create a subfolder (like ''E:\Downloads'') and set this as default location for downloads...

Folders on the IMAP server do not appear or appear in wrong location - those cannot be modified in Thunderbird because "they do not exist on server".

Hi all,
A few days ago, I moved 3 sub-folders within my Archive folder. I was doing those modifications using Thunderbird.
My Archive folder used to contain the following sub-folders:
Archive
/A2014
/B2014
/C2014
I tried to move the folders A2014, B2014 and C2014 under the sub-folder LastYear, and created new A, B and C folders for 2015, so that it would be something like:
Archive
/LastYear
/A2014
/B2014
/C2014
/A2015
/B2015
/C2015
On the webmail interface, everything looks fine: the old A, B and C folders where moved into the Archives/LastYear folder, and the new A, B and C folders appear under Archives. However, on Thunderbird things are a bit more... strange.
Case 1: For some folders, things are as they should be.
Folders A2014 and B2014 were correctly moved into Archives/LastYear.
Folders A2015 and C2015 were correctly created in Archives.
Case 2: One folder does not appear at all - anymore.
Folder B2015 does not appear anywhere - despite being visible on the webmail interface. It does not appear in the list of folders to synchronize. No .msf file appear. Nothing happens if I try creating it again.
Note that it briefly existed after I created it, but stopped appearing a few hours later.
Case 3: One folder appears in the wrong location and cannot be accessed.
Folder C2014 appears in the old location (Archives) and not were it should be (and is on the webmail interface), that is Archives/LastYear. I cannot perform any operation on it in Thunderbird, I systematically get the following error message:
"The current operation on 'C2014' did not succeed. The mail server for account <AccountName> responded: "Archives/C2014" doesn't exist."
(Which is correct because according to the server the folder C2014 is in Archives/LastYear).
The C2014.msf file is also wrongly located, but moving it to the correct location did not change anything: the next time Thunderbird was started, the wrongly located .msf file was re-created.
Thunderbird does not show the emails contained in this folder - when I try loading them I get the previous error message.
Using the same style than before, here is how my Archives folder look right now:
Archive
/LastYear
/A2014
/B2014
/A2015
/C2015
/C2014
I am totally flabbergasted, I have no idea of where the problem is. I tried various fixes found on forums (such as playing around with the .msf files), but no luck so far. Any idea?
A few more details:
- I use an IMAP server.
- This is a professional address, and I have little control on it.
- I use Thunderbird with this account on two different computer, the problem is identical on both computers.
- I tried removing/re-installing the account from Thunderbird, it did not change anything.
I would be eternally grateful if any of you could come up with a solution!
Many many thanks,
Agnes

I know my files downloaded through Firefox won't appear in my downloads folder because that is just supported by Safari
No, I think that Apple just assigned the Downloads folder to Safari to send things there by default. You can do the same with Firefox, just go to the Firefox Preferences, click on main, tick the "Save files to..." and click the Choose button, then navigate to /Users/yourname/Downloads and click choose. I have always had all my Internet applications download things to a Downloads folder I keep at the root level of the drive (so all users can access them), but I just changed the Firefox pref to the new Apple Downloads folder and it worked fine.

Music downloads to the wrong folder

Hi.
I'm running Mountain Lion on my MacBook Pro and understand that music, movies, TV shows, etc., should download to their respective folders within the 'iTunes Media" folder, which is located here: User --> Music --> iTunes --> iTunes Media.
My problem is that, while movies, TV shows, mobile apps and ringtones download properly, music that I either download from the iTunes Store or rip from CDs download directly into the iTunes Media folder, rather than the iTunes Media --> Music folder. Also, there is now a new "Compilations" folder in the iTunes Media folder (in addition to the one listed alphabetically in the iTunes Media --> Music folder).
I'd appreciate any ideas about how to resolve this so my music downloads to the proper locations and remains organized. Thanks for your help.
Shelly

Hi,
Was there ever a resolution to this issue, I'm experiencing the same problem?
I'm an iTunes Match user, and when I...
- Rip a CD
- Run iTunes Match
- Delete the imported CD tracks
- Download the tracks from iTunes
Sometimes they download to the correct album folder in 'Music' however other times they download to the 'Media' folder - it can even be the case that some download to 'Music' and others to 'Media' for the same album.
Seems to have only started recently
Any ideas?
Regards

Podcasts are downloaded to the wrong folder

I've moved my library to a network drive (Y:). However, new podcasts are still being downloaded to My Documents/My Music/iTunes/Podcasts
The Media folder location has been changed to Y:\Shared Music in the preferences, and there doesn't appear to be a separate option for a podcast folder, so why is it downloading to the default location instead of where I've told it to?

i am also having the same problems where iTunes has its own automatically assigned folder for it to store its completed podcast downloads, which on my PC it has chosen this C:\Users\chris\Music\iTunes\iTunes Media\Podcasts as its location for them to be stored at.
however, i dont like this and i would like 2 change my preferences on where the podcasts would b downloaded and then afta completion, they would be automatically be moved straight to the drive and folder location due to my own choosing so i know where my completed podcast which i had jus downloaded, would be in a specifically desegnated LABLED folder which is located on another drive thats available to use, and not to have it anywhere on my main PC's HD for Windows 7, which is its C: drive.
i hope u may b able 2 help me out with an answer shortly.
kind regards,
chris

The dmg files have downloaded to the wrong folder - not finished with the install process

The dmg files have downloaded to the wrong folder - I am at the part of the download/install process where the "Welcome" screen appears asking for me to agree to the license agreement. Somewhere on your site, I read that they should NOT go to the applications folder but to the "Users" folder. Can/should I move/drag the folder with the dmg files into the "Users" folder"? If so, before or after I complete the install? I am running MAC OSX 10.7.4 on a MAC Mini.
Also, when the trial period is over, I will use the license number for the purchased software disks, should the dmg's/folders then be moved to the application folder or stay in the "users" section? I have Purvhased Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 and Adobe Premiere Elements 10, but somewhere on your site it was suggested to download them instead and use the license code at the appropiate time. If someone can help with these questions, I would appreciate it. Thank you

Hi,
In the Welcome screen, you can accept the license agreement and can go ahead with the installation. You will be asked for the serial number. If you don't have one, install it as a trial application. By default, it's installed in the Applications folder. However, you can change the installation folder in the third screen, if you have a reason. Please see the screenshot below:
After installing, you can't move application to a different directory by dragging. You need to uninstall and install it again in the folder of your choice.
Thanks,
Sunil

You should be able to connect the iPod to your computer's iTunes and do File > Devices > Transfer Purchases to copy them over and you can then sync them to your other iPod.

Robo Help Server 8 Publishing files to wrong location

Hi
I have recently installed a trail verstion of Robo Help 8 server. All appears to be ok with the install I can access the website and log into the admin portal etc... The only diffrence from the default install is that I have configured tomcat to use port 80 rather than 8080.
However I am having a problem whenever i try to publish a help file from Robo Help 8, I input all of the details of the server <Server IP>/robohelp/server
put in the default admin username and password and select the general area to publish the help file to. All of the files appear to publish ok from Robo Help 8 and no errors are receved.
When I log onto the admin portal of the website the there is nothing displayed in the projects window. I have check the local disk of there server were robo help is installed and i think the problem may be that the server is putting the files in the wrong location.
I can see that a folder has been created in the following location
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe RoboHelp Server 8\robo\server\general\projects\TestProject
with the following folders within it
resource
webhelp_skin_files
whdata
whxdata
However none of these folders contain any data.
All of the files apper to be uploading to C:\ not the above directory wich is what i would expect.
If a copy the files that have been uploaded to C:\ to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe RoboHelp Server 8\robo\server\general\projects\TestProject and restart the tomcat service the project then shows in the project window. However when i click view project all i get is a blank screen. I have searched the forum but cannot find anyone having a similar issue.
Any help would be gratley appriciated.
Below is the config of the Server
Windows 2003 Server IIS not installed
Java 6.21
Tomcat 6.0.29
Robo Help Server 8

aha!
If the firewall is on, turn it off.

Maps directs me to wrong location

Hi All -- My Google maps (the one that came with the phone) constantly sends me to the wrong location. I'll type in a known address (let's say 5410 Wilshire Blvd, 90036) and it will give me directions just to Wilshire Blvd (no street address). It does this almost every time, both in Maps view and List view.
I've tried typing the address in, or linking to it from my calendar meeting location, and still doesn't work.
I have the google app, so I can go there, go to Maps and enter it in there and it works fine, but that seems like a lot of extra work. Anyone find a fix?
Also, I'm finding it near impossible to view traffic on the map if you have a route marked.

I have the google app, so I can go there, go to Maps and enter it in there and it works fine, but that seems like a lot of extra work. Anyone find a fix?
I just tried this ("5410 Wilshire Blvd, 90036") and a red pin drops down to a precise street address (looks to be over Vince). Where does your red pin fall?
Also, I'm finding it near impossible to view traffic on the map if you have a route marked.
This is a problem I experience as well. Unfortunately the best solution I have found is that once the purple route line has been drawn after tapping Route, to just toggle over to Search and the purple will go away. This way you can see traffic conditions as you have a general idea of where the purple is.

Portal Navigates to Wrong Location from One DI????

Hello Al,
We've had intermittent problems with one of our DI's in our QA or PROD environments navigating to a wrong location in from 1st/2nd level navigation.
- It typically only happens with one portal tab, not many or all.
- We know the problem isn't with our content as it chooses to navigate to locations sometimes in our own content but many times in an admin area, but totally unrelated to where it should go.
- Once the error occurs the bad navigation remains the same until we've cycle java.
- We've tried clearing PCD cache on the bad DI but that hasn't helped.
This may be happening only after we release content but we're not sure of that at this point. Our release process has us shutting down the DI's, importing new content to the CI, then bringing DI's up one at a time for testing. If the area affected by the problem isn't part of our release content the problem may not be discovered until later regression testing. Has anyone seen anything similar?
Thanks,
Doug

Jump to wrong location

I have a project with about 85 slides that was built with Captivate 4. Many of the slides have buttons that jump to other slides for branching within the presentation. On one of the buttons it is jumping to the wrong slide when I deploy it to our LMS (Moodle). In the web broser preview it works fine, and the properties of the button show it jumping to the correct slide, but when I deploy it within Moodle, it jumps to the wrong location. I have reloaded it and rebuilt it several times, but it is still doing the same thing. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Whitney

Not really. I thought if i use absolute bendpoints the translation is not
necessary.
Anyway, thank you.
