Everytime I download a file other than a pdf, it gets automatically deleted when finished downloading.

I am using Firefox 7.0.1. Shortly after a Firefox update, I noticed that every time I download any type of file except for .pdf files, they automatically get deleted as soon as they finish.
I tried downloading to my c: drive, a flash drive even a CD with the same result. Why does this happen? I also can't open any downloaded attachments I get in e-mails.
I can download files and or e-mail attachments via Internet Explorer with no problems other than it (IE) randomly locks up. I even tried restoring my system to a previous configuration with no luck. Can you help?

You posted this with a computer running a Firefox 7.0.1 according to the system details.

It is possible that your anti-virus software is corrupting the downloaded files or otherwise interfering with downloading files by Firefox.
Try to disable the real-time (live) scanning of files in your anti-virus software temporarily to see if that makes downloading work.

  • 'iTunes Library Extras' and 'iTunes Library Genius' files gets automatically deleted (when iTunes is started up)

    I'm working on a Sony VAIO FW-serie model.
    Windows Vista
    Almost every time I start up Itunes I have to determine that all my music is out of Itunes (still on the original locations but not available in my library).
    It happens automatically.
    I looked in my 'recycle bin' folder and saw there were a lot of iTunes Library files.. (specifically the ones named in the title)
    Can anyone help me with this problem because I always have to remove everything from my iPod because the library is 'refreshed'..
    Arne

    It's Sony's software: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2715
    Download a newer version, configure it to ignore your iTunes folder or just disable it.

    You cannot attach them in a mail.
    But, you can do this.
    1. Go to the document.
    2. Tap on share button.
    3. There should be an option "Mail"
    4. Tap on it and attach.
    Note:

  • Time Capsule with files other than backups

    I have installed a 3 TB Time Capsule. I use it for Time Machine backups from an iMac and a Macbook Air. The Time Capsule has a sparsebundle for each of the Time Machines.
    Question 1. If the Time Capsule runs out of space due to backups from the two computers what will happen? Will the iMac Time Machine delete files from the laptop sparsebundle if it is the first to do a backup after the TC is full?
    Question 2. If I store files other than the sparsebundle on the TC will they be deleted to make space for the sparsebundles to increase in size? If so, is there anyway to prevent the non-Time Machine files from being deleted?
    Thank you.
    Mike

    Question 1. If the Time Capsule runs out of space due to backups from the two computers what will happen? Will the iMac Time Machine delete files from the laptop sparsebundle if it is the first to do a backup after the TC is full?
    No, it will only delete files from its own sparsebundle.
    Question 2. If I store files other than the sparsebundle on the TC will they be deleted to make space for the sparsebundles to increase in size? If so, is there anyway to prevent the non-Time Machine files from being deleted?
    Again No.. the TM has no ability to do anything outside its own sparsebundle.. it will not affect your files.. mixing up data and TM backups is not necessarily a great idea though.

  • Is there any way to tell "Create MP3 Version" where to create the files other than in the same folder as the songs you want to create the mp3 versions of?

    I am trying to get MP3 versions of my non DRM protected songs onto a DVD so I can import them into my cars "Music Register".
    There is no easy way to do this that I can see in Itunes . I follow this process..
    Highlight the songs I want to copy in Itunes
    Select Create MP3 version from main menu
    Open up Finder Window showing the Itunes folder with the m4a and MP3 files newly created..
    Go Up a directory or 2 to get the Artist 'folder'
    copy that folder to my external drive
    Delete the MP3 songs from the Itunes folder (I dont want duplicates showing) obviously
    Delete the M4a songs from the external drive....
    I have about 5000 songs so doing this manually is clearly a complete pain.
    I dont think you can force it to create the mp3 files anywhere other than in the current folder in itunes unless someone tells me otherwise 
    More likely does anyone know of any other software to do this with less effort...
    I confess to not being an Itunes fan at all I admit but I like the Match functionality so I keep it otherwise I would cheerfully chuck it in the bin...
    Thanks in advance...

    It appears I have figured it out. You gotta go down to where it says Destination and tell Lightroom to Organize into One Folder.

  • Will sync-ing iPad to new Macbook lose files other than music files?

    I bought my first Macbook (first Mac laptop, and first Mac in over a decade) a few months ago and have been a little reluctant to sync my iPad to it. Will I lose anything other than my iTunes files? e.g. Will my Pages files or iBooks or Kindle files disappear? What will happen to my apps? My hard drive crashed late last year and I have lost some things that I won't be getting back, so I just want to make sure that when I do sync I'm doing it with full knowledge of what's going to happen. (i.e. I can try emailing all of my Pages docs to myself first.)
    Thanks for any help you can give!

  • Is there a way of addressign text files other than through the place command?

    I'm working with  a large document that has multiple  records - each record has 2  spreads of master pages - tha tis  1 spread and then another - so 4 master pages in all. I'm preparign individual tagged text files for each of these. I find it really onerous to  have to click on teh frame and "place" each individual text fiel. Is tehre not a way to invoke/import/place a text file that doesn't involve mousing around and  often clicking on teh wrong thing - thereby generatign a new frame and blowing everything to smithreeens?
    AS an aside - I've drawn the followign conclusions about workign with frames on master pages: when text is asked to flow form one  master spread onto anotehr - it won't work - CS4 crashes or simply doesn't  flow the text correclty - I've downloaded an excellent plugin from http://www.rorohiko.com/ called text stitch - that eanble stitchign of text frames  and htis seems ot work alhtough it still requires intervention of having to actualy click on teh   overflow red + indicator on teh last frame of the  spread generated by teh first  master pages and tehn clicking on the first frame of the 2nd  spread generated by the 2nd master.
    Also - what gives with questions aobut tagged text - I've noticed that 4 postings about this have gone unanswered - not jsut mine but others as well?
    Thanks for all your help - this forum is great!

    Also - what gives with questions aobut tagged text - I've noticed that 4 postings about this have gone unanswered - not jsut mine but others as well?
    I've been wondering that myself, but I've not had any answers for those posters. (I don't think that "Yeah, I used tagged text in Quark or PageMaker in the 90s, but these days anything that I would have wanted to do with tagged text would be easier to do with XML" would be very helpful.)

  • ACR won't save files other than in original file folder.

    This has just started.  All was fine until now.  I recently was working on several files in camera raw.  Went to save files but discovered that I am unable to save the image, no matter what file format I choose -- TIFF, PSD or JPG -- unless I put it in the original folder it came from.  For example, I would choose Save Image from ACR, then Save in New Location, then Select Folder, choose another file folder (say Desktop) and then it would try to save it but would tell me the file could not be created.  If I choose Save in Same Location, everything works fine.  I AM able to open the RAW file in Photoshop and Save it from there.  As I said this is happening all of a sudden.  I am working with Vista 64 bit and with Photoshop 64 bit.  I tried using the 32 bit program but the same thing happens.  Any suggestions or should I just completely uninstall and reinstall?  I have checked and have all the latest updates for both Photoshop and ACR.  Thanks.

    Hi Gingerdee1,
    Yes strange ....
    -Do you have the right privelige to save at an other location..... >>privelige-user .... or..... >>folder-protection (read-only)... >> or network privelige changed
    -Is that disc full maybe at that location....
    -Do you try to save a file with illegal characters in the file name...
    -Working with other RAW-files.............
    -Did you change any other situation....than before...

  • Posting a movie file other than Quicktime

    I have a couple of QuickTime movies on my site that work really well for people who own macs, however there are many people logging onto our site with a pc. The PC users are unable to view the QuickTime movies and many of them are unwilling to download and use QuickTime software. My question is: Is there an alternate file type that I can use to post my movies that will work universally for mac and pc users without sacrificing the audio/video quality that QT offers? Do mp4s work?

    iWeb writes page code that only uses QuickTime. You would have to hand edit the html page and javascript page code to use Flash or WMP formats.
    The Windows users that have trouble need only download and install the free QuickTime software to view your files.
