Downloads show in downloads window, but disappear from window as soon as finished downloading.

I start a download (say, CCleaner from filehippo.com). The firefox "downloads window" opens and the file appears, downloads, virus scans, but then it just disappears. I'm left with an empty "downloads window". The downloaded file is in my downloads folder and I have to run it from there.
It never did this before and changing settings in OPTIONS or disabling ADD-ONS has no effect.

See:
*Tools > Options > Privacy > Firefox will: "Use custom settings for history" > "Remember download history"
Also check the Clear Recent History (and CCleaner) settings if you use it.
*Tools > Options > Privacy : History: [X] Clear history when Firefox closes > Settings

    Also, you can download these free MS Office apps (Word, Excel, PowerPoint) to view (but not create or edit) these files.

  • I rented a movie directly from Apple TV. I finished downloading successfully, however, I didn't start watching it right away. Now, a day after, I want to watch it, but ATV tells me I have to start the downloading process all over again. WHY?

    I rented a movie directly from Apple TV. I finished downloading successfully, however, I didn't start watching it right away. Now, a day after, I want to watch it, but ATV tells me I have to start the downloading process all over again. WHY? I thought after sucessfully downloading the movie to ATV, it would be available for 30 days in my ATV, without having to download again. To my surprise, it tells me I have to download all over again. It took me 3 hours to download the movie, now I have to repeat the process? Can someone tell me why? Thanks.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    The Apple TV will delete content if it is used to plat something else or is turned off. It only has a limited amount of volatile memory.
    If you want to download something for watching at a later time, it would be best doing it from iTunes on your mac/PC and streaming it to the Apple TV when you are ready to watch it.

    After doing some research, I found out that I had accidently hid iPhoto after I paused the download. After going into my apple id account and saw my hidden purchases, I found it. Thank you so much helping me though!

  • 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

  • My calendar appointments show for future events, but disappear once I reach the day of the event.  So I can see tomorrow's appointments now, but they will be gone tomorrow.  Why is this happening?  It's on my iPhone and iPad.

    My calendar appointments show for future events, but disappear once I reach the day of the event.  So I can see tomorrow's appointments now, but they will be gone tomorrow.  Why is this happening?  It's on my iPhone and iPad.

    For what it's worth, you posted this in 2011, and here in 2014 I am still having this same issue. Over the last two days, I have had to unlock my apple account 8 times. I didn't get any new devices. I haven't initiated a password reset. I didn't forget my password. I set up two factor authentication and have been able to do the unlocking with the key and using a code sent to one of my devices. 
    That all works.
    It's this having to unlock my account every time I go to use any of my devices. And I have many: iMac, iPad, iPad2, iPad mini, iPhone 5s, iPod touch (daughter), and my old iPhone 4 being used as an ipod touch now.  They are all synced, and all was working just fine.
    I have initiated an incident with Apple (again) but I know they are just going to suggest I change my Apple ID. It's a simple one, and one that I am sure others think is theirs. I don't want to change it. I shouldn't have to. Apple should be able to tell me who is trying to use it, or at least from where.
    Thanks for listening,
    Melissa

  • Email messages appear on BlackBerry via Redirector but disappear from Outlook 2003

    Email messages appear on BlackBerry Model 8310 via Redirector but disappear from Outlook 2003 mostly when the messages have attachments regardless of file size.

    Hey RR-2010,
    Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
    Do you have the synchronize option enabled for reconcile messages in BlackBerry Desktop Manager?
    Also is there any reason why you're using BlackBerry Desktop Redirector?  Have you tried setting up the email account via BlackBerry Internet Service?

  • Problem with connecting to free wifi after upgrading to Windows 8.1 from Windows 8

    Hi
    I had problems with connecting to free Wifi after upgrading my PC(Notebook) to Windows 8.1 from Windows 8. As I travel a lot within europe, I am used to being able to connect to Free Wifi(those that dont need a key or password to enter) but soon after downloading
    Windows 8.1 I almost never was able to do this. I'd always get «LIMITED» even though the signal was strong.This was so fustrating,so much so that I reset my PC to clear it of Windows 8.1 and am now back to Windows 8.This is a shame because I was really liking
    using Windows 8.1 and if not for this problem(which is a big one) I'd still be using it. If I download Windows 8.1 again from the Windows store what is the probability that I'll have the same problems?
    Thanks Portozzygirl

    More often than not when a device isn't working it is because the driver has become corrupted. Re-installing a fresh copy should help

  • X220: Cant Upgrade to Windows 8.1 from Windows 8

    Hi all,
    I cant seem to upgrade to Windows 8.1 from Windows 8 on my X220.
    Originally during the install it states "This application wasn't installed - view details".
    Then it states "Something happened and Windows 8.1 couldn't be installed. Please try again. Error code 0xc0000005"
    Then it states "Something happened and Windows 8.1 couldn't be installed. Please try again. Error code 0x80246007"'
    Anyone have any suggestions?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    According to your description, Windows 8 Operating System installed on your computer, right?
    Did you update to Windows 8.1 via Windows Store?
    If yes, follow Cyber_Defend_Team's suggestion, check if your computer meet the prerequisite.
    After that, try to install Windows 8.1 for test.
    If the issue persists, according to this blog to troubleshoot:
    Something happened and the install of Windows 8.1 can't be completed. (And now you're annoyed)

  • Creative Cloud downloads disappearing from Windows 7 desktop

    When ever I download an application from Adobe Creative Cloud it will open the first time just fine, but once I close that application out it disappears from my desktop and side panel and becomes an empty script.
    The applications download to my hard drive and i see them there I just can not access them for some reason. I have tried to disable firewalls and other security programs but that did not work, im at a loss of what
    it could be and have not been able to find anyone else with this problem so far. This is a new PC build so I may need to download a few thing that im not aware of for these applications to stay on my desktop/side panel.
    I have downloaded flash player and other adobe recommended products and they too seem to vanish, or not work for me.
    Thank you for any help that you can offer.

  • Downloads disappear from list immediately and automatically when download completed

    Everytime a download completes it disappears from list automatically

    Are you using Firefox 3.6 or Firefox 4?? Your "More system details..." link shows that you have turned off storing of history using a Firefox 4 preference (places.history.enabled), but your post says Firefox 3.6.17.
    Anyway, the general history setting affects not only site URLs, but also downloads. To treat them separately, go to
    Tools > Options > Privacy
    and change to Custom history settings. Does that solve it?
