From my email, how do I save a file to a specific folder on my computer. It keeps saving it in the downloads within Firefox.

I have a quickbooks back-up file from my CPA in my email which I need to save to a folder in mydocuments which Quickbooks can then open. Firefox saves it to a downloads folder and I never get the option to save it somewhere else on my computer. I can't figure out where the downloads file is on the computer.

{Ctrl + J} to open the Downloads window, right-click any of the files in there and select '''Open Containing Folder''' to open the folder that each of your downloaded files was placed in.
Tools > Options > General - under the Downloads section, you can check-mark '''"Always ask me where to save files"''' to get a dialog box from Windows Explorer file management for saving files manually.
The ''"Save files to"'' box shows the folder that Firefox uses to download file into when that other pref isn't selected.
You can also use '''"Save Link As..."''' if you right-click a hyperlink that you want to download (won't work where JavaScript is used to download files).

  • How to change the path for a file download? Sometimes, I want to save a file in a specific folder in my hard disc and I don't know how to do it. Thanks.

    There is a default folder for the download of files from the internet ("Descargas" or "Downloads"). But, what can I do if I wish to save the file in another location of the hard disk?
    Thank you.

    Use about:config and filter on browser.download, you'll see them

    Try force-closing Mail: double-tap the home button, locate Mail in the list at the bottom, tap and hold it until it wiggles, tap to close it, finish by tapping the home button.  Then go the you email provider's webmail site (such as iCloud.com for @me.com mail), log into your account and delete any emails you find in your Drafts folder.  Then open Mail again and see if it stopped trying to send.

  • How do I save a file to a specific location?

    I have a subfolder where I would like to save certain documents. When I click File/Save As, and click the little arrow next to the default "Desktop" location, there is no way to get to the subfolder. There's a list of "Recent Places," but it doesn't show up there either.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks,

    Barbara,
    Welcome to Apple discussions.
    With that little arrow pointed upward, you should see hard drives and folders in the left column. (See photo below.) Click on the drive where your folder resides, and navigate to it.
    Let us know if you still need help.

  • My iMessages are coming from my email, how do I get them to come from my phone

    My iMessages are coming from my email, how do I get them to come from my phone number again?

    This forum is intended for questions about old Apple hardware that precedes the PowerMacs, i.e. hardware from the 1990s and earlier, and doesn't get much traffic. Hence it's not the forum where you'll be most likely to get help with your problem. I've asked the Communities Hosts to move your post to the iPhone forum.  You'll be more likely to get assistance there.  Regards.

  • I cannot find my download I downloaded from an email, how do I go about finding it

    I am having a problem finding a download that I downloaded from an email how how do I go about finding it..... HELP!!!!

    If you purchase ebooks on the iPad you need an app in which to read them. If you downloaded the book from iBooks, it would be in the iBooks app. If you have the Kindle app you manage your content from your Amazon,com account using a web browser. If it is a Nook Book, you need that app as well but I think you would have to access them from your BN account using a web browser as well.
    From where do you buy the book? What I am leading up to is that you cannot download content from an email on the iPad like you can do on a computer.

  • How do you save my files from the recovery HD.

    My Macbook keeps processing, so I went to the recovery hd amd mac os x utilitiles.  from this point i am trying save my files so i can erase disk using disk utility.  any ideas.

    If you have an external hard drive, you can use the Restore tab in Disk Utility to copy the contents of one disk to another.  Note that this will erase the destination drive, and may very well fail.  You could also use the command line in the Terminal from recovery mode and copy files that way, but that requires knowledge of how to use Unix filesystem commands.  You could also try connecting the Mac to another Mac via Firewire target disk mode and copy the data that way.
    Alternately, if your Mac won't start up, you could try just repairing the hard drive with Disk Utility and then installing Mac OS X on top of your existing system.  That will replace all the system files but leave your files and apps alone.  (Of course, things can go wrong in cases like this, so making some kind of backups would be a good idea.)

    Hi jwol21,
    If you are having issues sending iMessages from your phone number, you may want to double check that your phone number and your Apple ID have been linked and that your phone number is listed under Start New Conversations From. You may find the following article helpful:

    Badunit. You have an original file and an edited file. Now you duplicate the edited file and save it with a different name. Now do you have to go and delete the changed file from which the duplicate had been made? And.... is the original still unchaned... still original?
    Ross,
    For the situation you describe, Apple has provided Duplicate and Revert. Use File > Duplicate to reach this menu:

  • In Pages how do I save a file with another name

    In Pages how do I save a file with another name?

    I don't know if there is a less cumbersome way to do this (I'm still pretty new to Lion) but This is what I do - since "Save As" seems to be gone with Lion.
    I create a duplicate document - then click the red button to close the document - and a dialog box pops up and asks if you want to save the changes - I change the name in there and then save the file under the new name.
    You can also save the copy to the desktop - get info - and then change the name if the finder window.
    I copied this from the Pages help area. These help instructions were created pre-Lion I'm sure.
    Saving a Copy of a Document
    If you want to make a copy of your document—to create a backup copy or multiple versions, for example—you can save the document using a different name or location. (You can also automate saving a backup version, as Automatically Saving a Backup Version of a Document describes.)
    To save a copy of a document: 
    Choose File > Save As and specify a name and location.
    The document with the new name remains open. To work with the previous version, choose File > Open Recent and choose the previous version from the submenu.

  • How do I save PDF files on my iPad to read later?

    How can I save PDF files from a website on iBooks to read later?

    Open the PDF in Safari and then tap it and you should get a bar at the top of it with 'open in iBooks' as an option - tap that and it should be copied to the iBooks app.

  • How do I save PDF files by default to the folder of the source file?

    How do I save PDF files by default to the folder of the source file with Acrobat 9.0.0 Standard?

    I am not seeing that behaviour. If I right-click a link to a .pdf file, I get the file saved with the original filename.
    Maybe one of the settings in about:config controls that?
    pdfjs.previousHandler.preferredAction is a setting that has a value of 4 with my setup. I have no idea what that means, and I could not find any explanation anywhere. You could try using different numbers for that value and see if any make any difference. Why has nobody bothered to explain that setting anywhere?

  • How do I save a file in the Dreamweaver CC folder on my computer's hard drive?

    Hi,
    I bought Dreamweaver CC.  I am trying to put a flash button in Dreamweaver that will like to another web site.
    The problem I am running into is when I try to save the flash button into my computer's Dreamweaver folder,
    I get a message saying "Contact your Administrator" because it won't save in that location.
    I know that I need to save it in the Dreamweaver folder so it has the same path so the flash button with a link will work.
    How do I save a file I want to put in a Dreamweaver page into my Dreamweaver CC folder?  I keep getting that
    contact your Administrator message.
    Please help,

    Honestly, you don't.
    DW is meant to be used with an individual "Local Root Folder" for each site you create with it. You should never have a reason to save into the DW program folders. Take a minute to go over creating a Site Definition in DW...
