every time i download anything, it is saved as a binary file. how do i change this setting?

Here is a simple fix I found that worked for me.
1) Clear your download history
2) Go to Options > Options > General Tab: Change your download location to something other than what you currently have it set at. Apply the changes.
3) Go back into the Options and change it back to what it was or whatever you want it to be.
You should be all set from there.

Run the cleaner, reinstall.
Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6
And don't bother with running any updates unless you really need them or they fix a critical issue relevant to your workflow.

Hi:
Do a hard reset of your notebook.

Then go to your notebook's support and driver page and reinstall the audio driver if necessary.

Tap on the id in Settings > Store and log out of it and then login with your id. Any content already on the iPad will be tied to the previous owner's id and it can't be copied or transferred to your id - so it's probably best to do restore the iPad back to factory defaults and start as from new with it : Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Contents And Settings

I used the internet to download my office mac onto the new Air, but every time i start it up, both word and excel open automatically. how do i stop this?

The problem is everytime I start up the macbook, both word, excel and my mail automatically opens up. And when i close excel, he spreadsheet opens up again.. How do I stop this?

If you go into "System Preferences > Accounts > your account and tab the Login Items tab, do you see the programs listed there? Delete them and restart your MBAir

Every time I open up Firefox, it opens up my previous session, how do I stop this?

Just recently, every time we open up a new Firefox window, the previous session will show up. I do not want the old session to appear. How can I stop this? I have checked my options and it is set to my homepage but still the previous session always appears.

You probably already have checked the Options dialog to make sure Firefox is still set to start up with your home page. In case you haven't, this article has the steps:
* [[Startup, home page and download settings]]
Sometimes and add-on or external program will create a user.js file in your Firefox settings (profile) folder, and Firefox will use this file to override your previous session settings. To track down and remove a user.js file, please see the steps in this article: [[How to fix preferences that won't save]].
Note: By default, Windows 7 hides the .js file extension. To unhide it, so you can work with file names as accurately as possible, please see this Microsoft support article: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/show-hide-file-name-extensions
Any luck?

I downloaded Lion but can't disable the automatic login, how do I change this?

When I downloaded Lion, I am always prompted to login. I was wondering how I can disable this. I've tried to go to system preferences, to un-check the ability to disable automatic login but it is grayed out. Is there a way to get around this?
thank you.

You need to click the lock to make changes. Go to System Preferences/Users & Groups
Select your Account and click the lock on the bottom left to make changes. Enter your Account Password/Click Login Options. You should now be able to turn Automatic Login Off

Everytime i download 1 album it downloads but as each song as a seperate album how do i change this?

not sure on where to go but everytime i download one album it goes to each song as a seperate album how do i solve this please

Have a look at Turingtest2's full explanation in this thread
You may have slight variations in the album name or artist name, make sure the album artist and the album are set to exactly the same text. You can set these texts by selecting the songs in the Library and opening the Information panel by pressing cmd-I.
If your album has songs by several different artists, you might wish to set the "compilation flag", then the album will stay united even on iPod classics.
