How do I control where downloaded items go on my desktop?

I know this is a weird question, but I build charts online that I then download. They seem to download anywhere on my desktop... so I'm constantly having to hit F11 to move everything to find the chart I just downloaded. I leave space at the far right of my desktop so they'll download there, but they don't always end up there (and yet sometimes they do end up there). Is there a way to control this?

In Safari Prefernces you can designate the location for the Downloads.
If they go to different spots on your Desktop it could be that your View Options [⌘+J] do not have a specific order for their organization.

  • How can I control where in  iPhoto my scanned photos will go? Right now they go to the very top of all the photos I have and I have to scroll the scanned photo  all the way down through 12,000 photos.

    I'm scanning photos to my iphoto . After they are scanned I find them at the  beginnoing of my iphoto collection and have to scroll them down through 12,000,,photos. Is there any way I can control where the scanned photos will appear in iphoto?

    You are asking about scanning photos to iPhoto on your Mac, right? This is the "iPhoto for IOS" forum, not the "iLife iPhoto" foruum for iPhoto on a Mac. Next time better post directly in the iLife forum - you will find more helpers there.
    have to scroll them down through 12,000,,photos
    Where do you look for your scanned photos? In the "Photos" view of the source list? I'd suggest, you look in the "Events" section. If you scan directly to iPhoto (assuming you use "Image Capture"), your scanned images will appear in the "Events" as "Unknown Project", and the events are sorted according to the settings in the "View" menu, "Sort Events" (assuming you are using iPhoto 9.x.x)
    If you want them to appear in an event with a specific name, don't scan directly to iPhoto. Direct the scanned images to a folder, and then import this folder to iPhoto. Then the photos will be imported into an event with the name of the folder.

  • How Can I Control a Windows PC from Apple Remote Desktop Please?

    Hello Everybody
    Please excuse my bad English.
    I would like to ask you, how could be possibile setup windows pc (XP or 7) to be controlled by a Mac with Apple Remote Desktop 3.7.2
    I think I have to use VNC, but how can i SETUP to connect XP or 7 to my Mac Apple Remote Desktop in the same LAN?
    Thanks a lot
    Giovanni

    You can use ARD to remote control a windows machines, ARD is built on VNC
    You'll have to install a VNC server on the windows machine you want to access
    You won't be able to use most of the ARD features as they are specific to mac
    You'll be be able to see and control the desktop and that's about it
    You can also find VNC /Remote Desktop apps in the iOS store that will allow remote desktop connection from iPad /iPhone,
    There is a mac version of Microsoft remote desktop in the Mac App Store

  • How to delete an unavailable downloading item from download list in iTune ?

    I have been trying to download "Tutorial 1 GarageBand" but the page doesn't exist.  
    It is very annoying to see the red circle always showing up in the corner of the iTune download label,
    and the "GarageBand Tutorials" always showing up as the first item whenever I try to download some
    podcast episodes, meaning,  the non-exist tutorial is always claiming a waiting spot to be downloaded.
    Will highly appreciate it if someone shows me how to delete it from the download list.
    Thank you.

    By accident, I found the way - just SWIPE ACROSS the download arrow next to the title,
    the arrow turns into a RED label with DELETE, tape on it and the item is removed from the
    download list - tried everything last week and nothing worked.  Got a LUCKY STRIKE  in the
    wee hours of this morning !!!

    @OP you could try lowering your socket receive buffer size to the desired bandwidth-delay product.

  • I cannot change or control where download files go

    When I click a web link to download a file I get an option to run or save the file. So far so good. I do not get an option to tell Firefox whre to save the file even though the option to ask every time is set. I also cannot specify a location to save by clicking save to ..the browse button does nothing.

    I have the same problem. I guess these are bugs on Control Center app, and hope Apple sees to this and release updates to fix them soon.

  • How do I control which partition certain files go to?

    I have a 640GB HD that I have partitioned into approx. 10 different partitions (volumes), and I am trying to determine how I can control where certain files go.
    For example:
    1 Partition for Downloads, 1 for Cache files, 1 for Applications, 1 for Music, 1 for Movies, 1 for Documents, 1 for photos
    How can I get these particular files to automatically go to the designated drive?

    You can use settings in the respective applications to control some of those, such as downloads in Web browsers, music in iTunes, etc. Controlling where cache files are would be much trickier if it's possible. However, I share Lyssa's evident feeling that your partitioning scheme is misguided. The best advice for OS X for most people is to leave everything in one partition.

  • How to define the detail "Condition" item for  sales order?

    Hi, I checked the condition information of a sales order, the following contents were displayed:
    PR00     Price     230.00
         Gross Value     230.00
         Discount Amount     0.00
         Net Value for Item     230.00
         Net Value 2     230.00
         Net Price     230.00
    I can understand that the price 230.00 can be maintained via tcode: vk11, what I want to know is:
    How to define/control the following items such as:
    Gross Value     230.00
    Discount Amount     0.00
    Net Value for Item     230.00
    Net Value 2     230.00
    Net Price     230.00
    and how to control their currency?
    Thanks.

    Hi, Dear Ferry Lianto,
    Thank you very much.
    Commonly I know the total pricing procedures.
    But, would you please tell me how to control the CURRENCY for the subitem of a condition type as follows?
    For example, I can see the following kind of
    contents in the Tab:condition of a sales order:
    PR00     Price     130.00000      TEST     100
         Gross Value     20.12      USD     100 <-how to
         Discount Amount     0.00      USD     100
         Rebate Basis     20.12      USD     100
         Net Value for Item     20.12      USD     100
         Net Value 2     20.12      USD     100
         Net Value 3     20.12      USD     100
    VPRS     Cost     27.22      HKD
         Profit Margin     16.61      USD
    The currency of PR00:price can be controlled via tcode VK12; but how to control the currency of its subitem such as gross value, discount amountm, net value for item, net value 2, & net calue 3...
    Thanks and regards.

  • Why is itunes downloading items automatically?

    Hello,
    Does anybody know how to stop itunes from downloading items automatically? I now have a two videos and a movie on my itunes that I did not purchase, and that I do not want. Does this happen to anybody else? How do I stop this from happening? I just got my ipod last week, so I am not to familiar with things. Thanks.

    You only got the 3 freebies, that's it. That's all I got when I purchased my Classic right after Christmas.

  • How do I control storage location for iPhoto, iDVD and iMovie

    My primary drive is getting full and I note that my User file has all of the iPhoto images, iDVD projects and iMovie projects.  I want to take these collections off the main drive and place them on one of my external hard drives to open up space on my primary drive (the one with the Applications, etc.) How do I control where my images and movies are filed when I use the above applications? I do not recall designating any save function to this folder or drive.  How can I save these files in a location on my external drives in tthe future? If I move these images and movies from my User file, will that cause a problem for iPhoto or iMovie or iDVD in finding the files in the future as I use these applications?

    Hi
    They are using three different concepts - VERY UNLIKE APPLE to do like this !
    • iPhoto saves in a iPhoto library and there can be more than one - using the alt-key during up-start let's You to select which one You want to use and on Main Hard Disk at Root level in Photo folder.
    • iDVD - Save an iDVD Project file (sort of folder) where You want to find it.
    • iMovie - saves Event's and Project's in iMovie Event's resp Project's folders AND ONE MUST NOT alter or move anything in them or location of them - Moving Event's and Project's MUST BE DONE inside the iMovie Application !
    So while one can move iMovie Event's and Project's to another Mac - the needed Photos (and audio from iTunes) will be missing and very hard to get iMovie on second Mac to find and recognice.
    Yours (also confused - and moving step by step into the OLD FinalCut realm - Where everything makes SENSE !)

  • Can you calculate multiple text boxes to achieve a total value?  If so how is that done?  I am trying to create a order form where multiple items can be purchased but i would like the values of each item to calculate so I can achieve a total value.

  • I have rented a movie on my ipad. It did not download due to not being on wifi at the time.  I know I completed the rental because my gift card balance went down $3.99 plus tax.  How do I find where to download the movie?

    But now I can't find the actual movie...I go to iTunes to purchases and view movies , to downloads and searched the title of the movie...I can see an icon of it and it is in a separate place from other purchases but it says downloaded in faded lettering. Where is it?
    If you can't find the movie you downloaded on your iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch, check inside your Videos App

  • How to limit the number of items that a list control can hold?

    Hi,
    I am using a Flex3 List control for one of my projects.
    I add drag & drop functionality to it, so that i can drag & drop elements from one control to another.
    How to limit the number of items that a list control can hold / can be dropped in a list control ?
    - Sen.

    1. Listen for the dragdrop event on the control you are dragging onto.
    2. check the length of the items in the dataprovider - if it exceeds your maximum override the default drop action with e.preventDefault(); (assuming you used e for the event on the handler).
    Regards,
    Mark.

  • How to delete the downloading items in itunes?

    how to delete the downloading items in itunes?

    Unfortunately, this doesn't work. If you let them download and delete them, they just download again at some point in the future. I've been trying to figure this one out myself, but so far, every time I remove something, it comes back "later".

    There is no download; you need to buy a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD.
