Formerly I could save items to my desktop. That feature no longer exists when I hit "save as". How can I restore this option? "

What more can I add other than I would like to save items to my desktop with a single click. Last night when I was about to save something to my desktop in the form of an icon the option indicating "desktop" disappeared the moment I clicked on it for saving purposes. I restarted my computer in the hopes it would reappear, but it did not.

Click on it, choose Get Info from the File menu, give yourself Read & Write access under Sharing and Permissions or Ownership and Permissions, and ensure it's not locked.

I have now downloaded all of my CD's to my itunes library and have since only purchased new music using itunes Store. This itunes library is stored on an old Dell Desktop that I am getting ready to replace with an iMac; how can I move the music? 86GB
Is the music I downloaded from my CD's already in the iCloud or only the music I purchased on itunes?

I have one folder on my desktop, i want to copy it on external hard drive so how can i do this?

I have one folder on my desktop, i want to copy it on external hard drive so how can i do this?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Connect the external drive and open a Finder window pressing the Finder icon in Dock. Then, drag the folder to Finder, so it will be copied to this external disk.
If you can't copy this folder, probably you have to format the external disk or use an app that allows you to write in that external drive. Mac OS X can't write in NTFS external disks

Hello Beckieor,
After reviewing your post, I have located an article that can help in this situation. It contains a number of troubleshooting steps and helpful advice concerning network issues:
iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
Follow these steps to troubleshoot the above issues:
Be sure you're in range of your Wi-Fi router (access point).
Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and turn Wi-Fi off and on. If your Wi-Fi setting is dimmed, follow these steps.
Confirm that your Wi-Fi router and cable or DSL modem are connected to power, turned on, and connected to the Internet. If not, refer to your network administrator or Internet service provider (ISP) for assistance.
Restart your iOS device.
Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and locate the Wi-Fi network to which you're connected.
Tap and Forget this Network.
Try to connect to your desired Wi-Fi network.
Note: You may need to enter your Wi-Fi password again if your network requires one.
Turn your Wi-Fi router off and on2. If your ISP also provides cable or phone service, check with them before attempting this step to avoid interruption of service.
Update your device to the latest version of software.
Update your Wi-Fi router to the latest firmware2. For AirPort Base Stations, install updates using the AirPort Utility.
Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.

I can no longer save images from websites. It starts the download. It stays in my Download manager however the image doesn't save. How can I fix this?

When I attempt to to save an item with right click "save as" I select my directory and then click save. This brings up the download manager. However once the image has "downloaded" I cannot find the file. The file name remains in my Download manager but the file is physically not on my computer. Both the Open and Open Containing file are greyed out. I can still save Images with other browsers.

It is possible that your anti-virus software is corrupting or removing 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.
See "Disable virus scanning in Firefox preferences - Windows"

I've set the download settings to always ask where to save a file, and it will do that for some file extensions, but not for others. How can I fix this?

I've noticed it especially with .pdf files, which always end up on my desktop, even after I double check the download settings under Preferences and then restart Firefox, just in case. Also, when I download .pdf files they will automatically open, but when I download .doc files they do not. I would rather not have downloaded files automatically open, but I can't find how to change that setting either.

You can check for problems with preferences.
Rename or delete the prefs.js file and possible numbered prefs-##.js and user.js files to reset all prefs to the default value.

Old Firefox's icon and item Name (not blue one) in Application has disappeared suddenly from the screen. How can I retrieve this?

When I clicked "Finder" and "Application", Firefox (old one, not new blue one) icon and Name used to show up in the screen, but no longer. How could I bring them back? There are no difficulty
in running computer, but I cannot update Firefox. Please advise.
Thank you.

Unfortunately I tried that and it didn't work. Thanks for the help though. I tried to uninstall and it said I couldn't because the file is corrupt or something, but I think I finally got it uninstalled and/or deleted or whatever, but now I try to reinstall/download it again from the beginning and I can't. No matter what I do I can not get Firefox working again. No matter how many times I try to redownload it. Any other suggestions?

My newly setup Thunderbird program doesnt access the Sent items of my Yahoo account although it downloaded all of my Inbox tray. How can I do this?

Please explain how to configure my Thunderbird to download all of the Sent emails stored in my Yahoo account as well as the Address Folder . I eventually want to transfer all from one Yahoo account to another then close that first Yahoo account down knwoing that I have copied all of my valuavke email data over.

Assuming Verizon POP service
Point 1.
Tools menu > Account settings > server Setting
Setting the retention there actually deletes stuff on the server.
I like delete immediately.
Point 2
Thunderbird keeps track of where it is up to with the server using a file popstate.dat that is stored in your profile folder. If the file is damaged or not updated (usually the anti virus cut the connection to quickly) then the situation you see occurs as the "where we are upto" information is gone.
Point 3
Tools menu (alt+T) > Diskspace > provides further options for managing mail on the server (and in Thunderbird) including automatic aging.
Point 4

I find files onmy desktop that I am unable to move ,trash or relocate. How can I clear my desktop?

Ongoing problem with Excel on Macs - it's been around since at least 2004 or earlier. For some reason some of the temporay files don't get deleted when you save.
Re-launching Finder sometimes works, but otherwise restart.

Hello, osbybass.
Thank you for the question. This alert can mean that iTunes is recognizing applications on the iPad purchased by another Apple ID. If anyone in your household has an Apple ID, try authorizing the computer with their Apple ID and attempt to sync. If you are still experiencing issues, go through the troubleshooting steps in the attached article.

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.

Hey bizteacher,
Thanks for the question. Do you still have access to the iPhone 3GS? If so, follow these steps:
iOS: Import personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4083
You could also follow these steps on your new iPhone 5, so long as the pictures are stored in your Camera Roll (as opposed to being synced to your phone).
Thanks,
