FF4 Mac: Can't show "Downloads" window

I don't seem to be able to view the "Downloads" window in FF4. (FF3.6 works fine however).
Methods I've tried:
* Command + J
* Tools menu -> Downloads
* Window menu -> Downloads (yes, it shows in the Window menu)
* Expose (the main firefox window is there, but not the downloads window)
* Click+hold the firefox icon on the dock (gives the main window only)
Downloading of course does work correctly. This has been happening with all the FF4 betas I've tried.
Mac OS X 10.6.6.

Delete the file downloads.sqlite in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder]

I was wondering can i install windows on my mac when i have downloaded windows form the internet and do not have a C.D.??
Because when i get to the part in Boot Camp Assistant that says Start Windows Installation it says u need a disc... is there no other way??

Get the physical copy (disk) this will enable you to reinstall when (not if ) it messes up.
Make sure to purchase acopy that is compatible with your OSX

Why can't I download Windows Support Software

For just over 60 hours I have been attempting, unsuccessfully, to download Windows support software for Boot Camp. I have mad 71 attempts, at all hours of day and night and have received the following message each and every time:
"Can't install Windows Support Software because it is not currently available from the Software Update server."
I have installed Windows 7 in a Boot Camp Partition, but am unable to use my Apple wireless keyboard and mouse. In fact I cannot even use a USB keyboard and mouse.
In Windows I am only able to use a USB keyboard and mouse by hitting F8 as Windows 7 boots and going into safe mode. I would have thought I should be able to go into Windows normally and have USB keyboard and Mouse functionality.
From within Windows I have attempted to run the menu selection "Apple Software Update" - but installation is not possible in Safe Mode.
Here's are two other behaviors that puzzles me:
1. When I boot Windows into Safe Mode I can use the wireless keyboard to select which safe mode option.
2. I can use the USB keyboard to log in to a normal boot up of Windows, but after that there is no response to either keyboard.
Any help on how to download the needed drivers will be appreciated.
Thanks!!

Your using 10.7.2 on what model/year computer?
As far as not being able to download the files you'll have to do a search in the forums as there are a few that have had your problem, mostly form last fall, but different issues for different models.
Can you use the internet from the Apple Store, Library, friend, neighbor, etc, to try downloading them. You might have to give Apple a shout as this is just a user to user forum.
Can't use wireless mouse/keyboards as Windows doesn't have dirvers for wireless items, at least not Apple compatible. Only WIRED mice/keyboards are supported. As far as using them in Safe Mode, that is curious.
Maybe boot from the Mac's "Repair Partition" and Repair Disk and Repair Permissions in Disk Utility.
Well that's as far as my knowledge goes so good luck....

Mac can't read a Windows CD...

I downloaded a couple of Mac OS X updates on my Vista PC, burned them onto a CD (type CD-R) and took them to the Mac. After spinning up the CD, the following msg appears: "You have inserted a disk containing no volumes that Mac OS X can read. ......."
I used the "mastered" burn option - as that claims to have the best compatibiity with other systems.
What do I need to do to ensure the Mac can read the CD?

Because I chose the "Mastered" format, there is no option to close / finalise. Here is a relevant description from Windows Help:
"Mastered discs do not need to be closed; they are automatically compatible with other computers, so you will never see an option to close a session that you have made with the Mastered format."

How can i show multiple windows on start?

Hi everybody:
I have an application that need to show 5 windows at the same
time when the application is started. The 5 windows are seen but
the canvas is not shown, so, i see 5 windows with no elements. I
have tried with SHOW_WINDOW built in, but it only shows the
window, not the canvas. If i use the GO_ITEM built in, in one
item from each block i can only see the last block visited.
Is there any property that i must change in canvases? (the
raise on entry is in "yes"); i have to do anything else?
Thanks.

Windows have a property called "Primary Canvas". This sets what
canvas should be shown in a window by default.
Typically Forms knows what to display because the cursor is in
an item, the item is on a canvas, the canvas is required to set
its Window...you see the window with everything in it.
The window property primary canvas for when you do a show_window
and do not navigate to anything in the window.
Thanks,

Can't complete downloading windows support software

When i strat downloading windows support software from Bootcamp in my imac 2012 its freez in half and not completed? its look like miss seeding from server or somthing else , any one have same issue plz help

Instead of downloading the Windows support software from Boot Camp Assistant, download it from the Support site to avoid problems. As you have a 2012 iMac, you have to download this support software version > http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1638 Note that this Windows support software only works in 64-bit Windows 7 and 8

If you turn off your mac can it continue downloading a file when it is turned back on?

...

Safari will usually let you resume a download where you left off. Open its Downloads window, and click the orange "resume" button next to the downloaded file you want.

PDF File downloaded from Mac Can't Read From Windows 7

Hi,
I am now doing a research, and every time when I copy the reference paper in PDF format from Mac to a flash drive, it could not be read from Windows at the university lab. Usually some pages of the file was missing. This really cause me a pain. Please help me. Thanks...
Max

Almost all flash drives are formatted as a Windows drive. When you copy almost any file to the flash drive two different files are created. One corresponds to the data fork of the Mac file and the second is a resource fork. When viewed from Windows the resource fork has the same name as the original file but it preceded by a period. This resource fork file should be ignored. The real file as far as Windows is concerned is the data fork file.
Now if the file you are moving to Windows can be opened and is missing pages, then that is not the fault of Reader or the Mac OS. But is related to how you are creating or obtaining the file.

In my Firefox ver 3, I can have the download window minimized and still havw a small line above the taskbar that shows remaining download time. In my ver 5 I cant seem to find that option or how to enale that feature 5

Seems like I want

The download history is part of the regular browsing history, so you would have to disable the history altogether as you've already noticed.
* Tools > Options > Privacy > History: Firefox will: "Use custom settings for history"
**"Remember my browsing and download history"
Firefox manages the downloads in the Downloads folder in the Library.
* Firefox > History > Show All History > Downloads
Future Firefox versions won't use the current download manager (pref: browser.download.useToolkitUI; Bug 726444), but use a toolbar button with a drop down list, similar to the Bookmarks Menu button.

Face Time for mac does not show contacts window or allow me to sign in

My Facetime for Mac launches but does not show me my Contacts sidebar or allow me to 'Sign In'. Preferences is grayed out as well.
It works under a new user account (System Preferences > Accounts). I added a contact into the blank address book to test it out. I'm troubleshooting it right now to get it to work under my account, I think it has something to do with not fully accessing the keychain.
The tell-tell sign for me is when I launch FaceTime for Mac the preview window does not show immediately. I have to click on the app a second time for the window to appear. This does not happen under the new account
I have already:
- Restarted
- Removed preferences and Caches
- Re-installed Face Time
- Repaired and reset keychains
- Signed in under a different MobileMe account in System Preferences
Any other suggestions

SOLVED !!
After many, many more steps and close to total ruin of my MobileMe sync structure, I have the found the hidden files to remove that solved my problem.
~/Library/Preferences/.GlobalPreferences.plist
~/Library/Preferences/.GlobalPreferences.plist temp
~/Library/Preferences/.GlobalPreferences.plist .6Va7JFn [+these letters may be than different yours+]
Logged out, then back in again
When I launched Facetime it worked exactly as it does on my test user account.
here are the terminal commands to try for your solution
cd ~/Library/Preferences/
ls -A [+To get the letters for the third file+]
rm ~/Library/Preferences/.GlobalPreferences.plist
rm ~/Library/Preferences/.GlobalPreferences.plist\ temp
rm ~/Library/Preferences/.GlobalPreferences.plist\ .[+your letters+]
Please Post any problems you run into or if it doesn't work.

Can't connect download windows support software because you are not connected to the internet

I currently am having trouble downloading the windows support software for boot camp 4.0. Whenever I try to download it, i get a pop up saying I'm not connected to the internet. So it gives me an option to go through network diagnostics, and it says my connection is up and runnin perfectly. so i hit try again on the pop up, and the pop up reapears, again and again. my software is all up to date, I have a lower end 15'' macbookpro from august 2011, running osx lion, and 8 gb of ram. I have restarted my computer, my router and I continuously keep getting the same pop up error. When i first got my macbookpro, i was able to download the support software perfectly fine, but now its not even letting me get a crack at downloading it.
please help, thank you!

Sounds like you are wired to modem/router directly, yes?
I know that the servers for Windows Boot Camp can be flaky slow impossibly buggy and even off line at times. One of the pitfalls of always on always connected - what if. I like physical media or alternatives.
And there is no standalone place to download outside of Boot Camp Assistant..

Can't show iTunes window by clicking on Dock

Not a big deal but I want the itunes window to show when I click on the Dock icon. I think that function has been lost in some of the last updates. Is there a fix ?
Thanks !

Maybe I was not enough specific ; i usually -close- the window, and find it cumbersome to have to hit command+1 when wanting to browse.

Hi, where can I manually download windows support software for boot camp windows 7 installation, I am trying through boot camp but its like taking forever to download its been 5 hours but boot camp still have't completed the download

can any one give me a link to download them manually

create a Windows support software (drivers) CD or USB storage media

Advanced Network: Proxy Settings, I uncheck "Auto Proxy detection" and make sure you have the interface you use selected and none others.
"Go into System Preferences - Network - Advanced - Proxies Uncheck "Auto Proxy Discovery", click OK, Apply"
After Unchecking "Auto Proxy Discovery" I also had to Uncheck "Use Passive FTP Mode (PASV)" and then Restart Boot Camp Assistant.
odiggy's comment and tried restarting Boot Camp Assistant. That did the trick, even though the Auto Proxy Discovery checkbox ended up the same as it started. Windows support software is now downloading... if you're downloading to an external drive make sure there's a least 1 GB of free space because the WindowsSupport folder is around 700 MB and presumably will grow with time.

Also, Change Domain Name Servers to OpenDNS IP address servers - that should be at the router firewall rather than the OS but may be in both for some people. You may be using the defaults your ISP uses, save those if you want, and try these:
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
Make sure you are not using LittleSnitch or Symantec (probably other 3rd party firewall)

Where is the "download window" in SAFARI [7.0.3 (9537.75.14)]

– sorry bad english –
Hi, recently I updated to Version 7.0.3, and, I dont know where I can see my "download window". I miss it because within the download window I could use other apps and see the download status in a very handy way. Perhaps they changed its place or name, if anyone could help I'll be very grateful,
PS. inst View > Show Downloads, I mean the WINDOW for DOWNLOADS.
thanks
GW.

QuickTimeKirk, i dont mean the activity. its a simply little window that show a download progress bar,
used to be under "WINDOW>>DONWLOAD" something like, and now it is a arrow-pointing-down rigth to the search bar that can be acessed on "VIEW>>SHOW DOWNLOADS".
dominic23 thanks, its a fine solution but, I want it the way it was.
