How do I get my downloads to open automatically, right now I have to go find my download folder and click on it.

How do I get my downloads to open automatically, right now I have to find where my download folder is each time and then find the file I just downloaded. My download pop up screeen is also blank.

This should not have changed all by itself but it should be easy to change back
*See [[Applications panel - Set how Firefox handles different types of files]]
** You should be able to choose to open .pdf files with Adobe. <br />Use Menu Button {Three bar icon) -> Options {cog icon) -> |Applications|
*[[Use the Adobe Reader plugin to view or download PDF files]]
* Also see [[View PDF files in Firefox without downloading them]] Although that is not what you will be doing.

  • I bought and downloaded some music off of the internet on my laptop that uses Windows 8. How can I get my music to open automatically in my itunes instead of opening in the music app?

    I bought and downloaded some music off of the internet on my laptop that uses Windows 8. How can I get my music to open automatically in my itunes instead of opening in the music app (the orange sqaure with headphones)? Currently I have had to often downloads and sift through all my files to find the ones I want to open into itunes, and it's irritating.

    Media is only where the user puts it.
    Installing iTunes does not and has never caused media to magically appear on the computer.
    Copy the ENTIRE iTunes folder from the old computer (or backup of the old computer) to the new computer.

  • How can I get my downloads folder to appear in the docking station

    How can I get the download folder to remain on the docking station

    Note if you don't have any folders on your Dock, note the trashcan is on one side of the dock with a divider between it and applications.  Minimized windows (with the yellow button on the upper left corner) will go between the trash and that divider.  You can drag folders into the section between the minimized windows and the trash.

    How do i get iphoto to NOT open automatically when i plug in my devices for updating in iTunes ??

    thx for the help

  • How do i get applications to stop opening automatically

    I have gone into settings, users, login items and deleted/unselected everything and several applications still open upon sign in.  iCal, Firefox, Chrome, email and my printer software all open every time I turn my Mac on.  Any ideas?

    Well a couple of things, first re-read your owners manual about putting your computer to sleep vs. shuttting down.
    To solve your problem there are several easy solutions, first quit all apps prior to shutting down and next when you shut down there is a box that asks, see the photo below.

  • How can I get the ToC to open automatically in Webhelp?

    I have had this ongoing problem. When my help project is embedded in our software system and you open it, the ToC is not displayed; there is just a link called "Show" that you click on to open the ToC.
    My users do not think to click on the "Show" link so are baffled about how to navigate the help.
    I asked this question on the forums before and one of you (perhaps Peter Grainge?) kindly sent me a script to add in the footer of help topics but sadly, it did not work.
    For info, the script was:
    var panevisible = new whMessage(WH_MSG_ISPANEVISIBLE.this.1.""):
    if(!SendMessage(panevisible)) {
    show():
    Thanks in advance for your help.
    Barbara

    The root problem is how your developers are calling the help.
    If they cannot or will not fix it, I think the script was from Willam van Weelden's site.

    You can only use the App Store version to reinstall on your new Mac if you bought Logic via the App Store in the first place.... and then it will appear under the Purchases tab in the Mac App Store App so long as you are signed in using the same Apple ID you used to purchase Logic via the App store in the first place.
    If you bought the DVD edition of Logic Studio then you must initially install using those original DVDs to begin with and then update to the latest version of your version of Logic via software updates.
    No DVD drive? Buy an external one.. Amazon do a very cheap basic one that works well..
    or...
    Use Remote Disk if you still have your older Mac which has a built in DVD drive...

    To move a home folder, create a new home folder, copy the contents of the old home folder into the new home folder, and then delete the old home folder.  Take a look at this link, http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/UserMgmt_v10.6.pdf

  • How can I get a book to open that is downloaded on my Ipad 3, I have uninstalled, reinstalled. Held the turn off button and home button down to reboot, nothing has helped.

    How can I get a book to open in my nook app, it downloaded, and installed, it just want open, I have never had this problem before.

    This is entirely my complaint.
    I have to sit without useable internet for 5 days when there is no fault, before anyone does anything about it ? BT visit the village to do something for another customer, mess up my perfectly working broadband, and then refuse to do anything about it for 5 days. And I pay full price during that time. Let's just hope they don't come back to do something else within those 5 days !!!
    There isn't a fault with the line, it is perfectly stable. I just need somebody to use common sense and set the IP profile back to what it was.
    If the system is so clever, it could at least try moving off 135k to 512k say after an hour or so.
    I will try using that link though and see if somebody can do something !!
    Frustrated is not the word ! If I ran my business like this I'd have no customers left. I'm pretty sure that's not the first time somebody has posted that on here

  • HT1222 How do you get Adobe Reader to open when it shows it is downloaded. I have to have PDF!!

    How do you get Adobe Reader to open if it showes it is downloaded, I have tried to open it several ways and nothing happens. I need PDF, HELP!!

It shows the file size and when I look in Spotlight it comes up as the tophit and when I click on it it opens the Adobe Reader icon and shows the file size and I double click and NOTHING happens. I saw in some other posts to use review by Apple. I don't even know where Review is located. I downloaded 10.8.3 last night as it told me to UPDATE. I had 10.8.2. Thanks so much for your reply. Hope you can figure it out, I sure can't!

  • How can you get your ipod touch open when you forgot the password and its disabled and not connected to wifi

    How can you get your iPod touch open when you forgot the password and its disabled and not connected to the Internet Connection and you don't want to reset it.

    Disabled
    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
    iOS: Forgot passcode or device disabled
    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.                        
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings        
    For how to restore:                                                             
    iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes       
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:                         
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store        
    If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.
