How can I stop the download

I was downloading using mozilla downloadhelper and when I save the file, it won't show up and i can't see the progress but it is saved. The problem is, I can't pause or stop it. So i tried to close the mozilla and click the 'cancel download', and the file in my desktop disappeared. But when I open the browser again, it starts to download again and I still cannot see the progress. So how can I stop it?

Do you see this file in the Downloads folder in the Downloads Manager (Library) or on the about:downloads page?

    Open Firefox, choose Tools on the menu bar, then Options, General, and there's a tickbox option to deactivate the Downlaods window.

  • How can I stop the Downloads folder from constantly reappearing?

    Every time I open or restart Firefox 9, the Downloads folder in My Documents keeps recreating itself. I have downloads set to always ask me where to go, and I have absolutely no need of a special Downloads folder. How can I get FF to stop creating this folder? Annoying to have to delete it every time - and I like FF to do what I tell it to.

  • How can I stop the download dialog from appearing every time I open Firefox 5.o latest version?

    Ever since I downloaded Firefox 5.0 the other day I get the download dialog every time I start Firefox 5.0.1. I told the download dialog to save Firefox 5.0.1 when I downloaded it. If I now say yes to the dialog it will download and save a new copy of the program like 5.0.1 (1). If I say cancel on the dialog I keep getting the dialog every time I start Firefox 5.0.1.

    I have heard that Norton released an update patch for Firefox 5.0 on Tuesday 06-21 when Firefox 5.0 was released. ''(versus taking their normal six to eight weeks)'' Some Norton users have reported that the toolbar may not work if the Norton patch was installed before Firefox 5.0, instead if after Firefox 5.0 was already installed.

  • How can I hide the downloads window?

    Hi,
    When I download a file the downloads window opens on top of the page I'm viewing. I have to then close it or move it to carry on working on that page. I then go to save another file off the page and the downloads window opens up over the page again. This is flippin' annoying when you're researching and downloading a number of documents off hte same page.
    How can I stop the downloads window opening on top when I download files?
    Any advice much appreciated :-)
    Many thanks!
    Evan

    There is a way, but it may not be supported for ever... If you want the old download manager back, go to about:config, click the I'll be careful, I promise! button. Then search for "download", and set the browser.download.useToolkitUI preference to true (double-click it).

    In that case, drag the Lion installer from your application folder to the trash. Empty trash. Now press option key and click on 'purchased' tab. The button next to the Lion installer now should say 'install' click on that to download again.

    To the best of my knowledge, there is no way to prevent the automatic downloading of the SD version when you buy an HD show.
    You can, if you wish, suggest that the ability to prevent the SD version from downloading through the iTunes feedback page. But since the SD version is needed for use on iPods and there at least at present is no mechanism for someone to download the SD version at a later time should they decide they need it, Apple may just continue to force the downloading of both versions. If they get enough feedback on the issue, though, they may figure something out.

  • How can i stop the i tune pop force quit doesn't work

    hi ,
    please help " how can i stop the i tune pop force quit doesn't work"

    Refunds on downloaded software are virtually nonexistent.
    I have had cases where I purchase software on a physical disk. If I don't like the software I can uninstall it from my computer and sell it legally. Recouping most of my loss.

  • How can I stop the intro voice when I play a genius mix

    HOw can I stop the intro voice when I play a genius mix?

    Hi Diavonex. Yes I was aware of this option.
    Subsequently I have done a litle research and downloaded a music app called "Track 8" which has a much clearer interface (larger type) and the abillity to change the background colour to dark or light.
    This is much more readable in the car in bright light, and much better at night too.
    You can also turn off auto-lock within the application, which is great, as it doesn't affect other apps.
    Although this app is really only an interface sitting on top of the music app, it offers a much better experience
    in my opinion that the stock player which seems to have devolved rather than evolved.

  • HT2404 How can I stop the Software Update madness??

    I recently bought an Epson printer to replace my broken HP printer.  I uninstalled all the HP-related software, but I still am getting prodded by Software Update to update software I no longer have!  How can I stop the Software Update madness??

    There are literally thousands of sites with videos (linked to from yet thousands more) that will prompt you to "upgrade" or update your already updated Flash Player. This is the most common method of delivery for malware like that.
    A friend who runs a PC Repair business told me that if you've updated your Flash Player and you see a warning in a web page that you need to download an update to watch a video, it's an attack site.
    A simple gesture of holding your mouse over the warning or link, will indicate the address it points to. If it DOESN'T say Adobe anywhere in the beginning of the address (download.adobe.com, or adobe.com/downloads), it's a forgery, and you should leave that page immedaitely. If you download and install whatever they link you to, it may play the content you were looking for, but you've just been infected with something that may lay dormant for months and then suddenly take over your whole system.
    If you use your PC for work, you're really in trouble.

  • I started a download of a Movie to rent on my iPad using a mobile hotspot. The HD version is taking longer to load than I have time. Can I stop the download to the iPad and rather downdoad a standard version to my Windows Vista machine?

    How can I stop a download of a Movie for rent in HD to my iPad? There isn't enough time to download it. I shall have to download to my PC and probably the standard version and then sync the iPad.

    I think your best bet here is to contact the app developer. Sounds like you need advanced troubleshooting that someone who is a part of the app would know best how to resolve. Best of luck.

  • HT5295 How can I stop the auto play feature automatically playing/streaming the next podcast?

    How can I stop the auto play feature automatically playing/streaming the next podcast?

    Hi there.
    I listened to podcast there were two things I found that helped me out. Both we're in the podcast app itself.
    Firstly change the default sorting order. When looking at the list off episodes a available on your ios device tap on the description part at the top, this will bring up the settings for that podcast (subscribe mark as played etc) scroll to the Bottom and select oldest first. This will mean that if you are listening to the latest download it will stop at the end as there will be no more to play.
    Secondly, and useful if listening to older podcasts in the list, you can use the timer to stop once the current episode has ended. To do this when you are in the podcast playback screen slide the "album artwork" up, revealing the playback options and nifty tape playing animation this is where you adjust playback speed and set a timer. The timer has a number of options to set playback to stop after set amount of time. However one of these options is to stop once the current episode you are listening to ends. This can also be current chapter if the podcast you are listening to supports chapters.
    Hope this helps, if not clear let me know

  • How can i stop the upgrade message appearing everytime i open iphoto?

    How can i stop the upgrade message appearing everytime i open iphoto?
    It's getting ridiculous that every time i open iphoto that it insists in being upgraded and repaired. Anyone know how i can get rid of this without reinstalling it?
    Thanks

    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
