How do I pause a download at night and then resume the same the next morning without starting it afresh download?

If I start a download of some large files and f0r some reason say, I've to go out and thus have to turn off my PC while the download is still on. How can I resume the download, the other day from where I left rather than starting it all over again from 0%?

If you pause a download before closing Firefox then Firefox should resume the download on the next start provided that the server supports resuming.
You can set the pref browser.download.manager.quitBehavior to 2 on the about:config page.<br />
That will make Firefox ask for confirmation if you want to cancel the download if you close Firefox.
See:
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.download.manager.quitBehavior
To open the <i>about:config</i> page, type <b>about:config</b> in the location (address) bar and press the "<i>Enter</i>" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.<br />
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.<br />
*Use the Filter bar at to top of the about:config page to locate a preference more easily.
*Preferences that have been modified show as bold(user set).
*Preferences can be reset to the default or changed via the right-click context menu.

  • How can I copy picture on a CD and then play them on the blue ray player on my TV?

    How can I copy pictures from iphoto on a CD then play it on my blueray player on the TV?

    You are attempting to do this in a very difficult manner. Why not simply get an AppleTV ($75 refurbished from Apple) and you can share all your iPhoto content on your TV. That would be much easier than exporting to a CD/DVD, loading it into a player and then playing from a DVD. Apple tells about setting up Home Sharing in http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4352.

  • I downloaded mountain lion and then the new office suite (word, ppt, excel) but now when I try to display one of my ppt's it says 'ppt cannot open the file...the file may be corrupt, in use, not a type recognized by ppt etc.." how can I fix it?? HELP

    Did you try to open teh fle by double-clicking its icon? If the file was made with an older version of Office, you may get that message. Try opeing PP and, from its "File" menu, see if you can open the ppt. I've foundthat often gets around that message and then yo ucan save the file from the newer version.
    If that doesn't work, consider asking in the Microsoft Office: Mac forums here:
    Office for Mac forums
    PowerPoint is not an Apple product and it seems a lot of people around here avoid Office.

  • HT1977 I purchased a game on my ipod touch. I restored the device to factory settings last night and when I synced all the apps back, the game is now in the demo version. How do I unlock it ? I hope I don't need to pay for the full version again.

    PES 2012 is no longer available in the US App Store and only on the British App Store currently.

    That (an app no longer available) happens sometimes.
    Your only way is if you have the appt on your computer such as in the recycle bin/trash or in a computer file backup. In that case move it to your iTunes library and sync.

  • Can I download a file in different sessions or should it be in a single session? In other words can I pause the download of a file, shutdown/restart my system and then resume download from where I left off? Or will it start from the very beginning?

    If a server supports resuming downloads then the download should continue where it left off.<br />
    You can test that by simple starting a large download and wait a minute or so before pausing it.<br />
    Then you can close and restart Firefox and see if resuming works.
    You can set the pref browser.download.manager.quitBehavior to 2 on the about:config page.<br />
    That will make Firefox ask for confirmation if you want to cancel the download if you close Firefox.

  • My Mac Pro all of a sudden would not turn on. It beebs 3 times, pauses, and then does it again. I don't think I have downloaded anything recently and I don't know what to do!

    3 beeps usually means a Ram problem, have you added or removed Ram recently?
    And I will assume that you do not have a Mac Pro, but that you have a portable, a MacBook Pro.

    Try downloading them onto the iPad normally. If you're asked to pay for them, you can't.
    The developer needs to create the two versions separately.

  • Is there a way to select MULTIPLE tabs and then copy ALL of the the URLs and titles/or URLs+titles+HTML links? This can be done with the Multiple Tab Handler add on; However, I prefer to use a Firefox feature rather than download an add on. Thanks.

    Currently, I can copy ONE tab's url and nothing else (not its name). Or I can bookmark all tabs that are open. However, I'd like to have the ability to select multiple tabs and then copy ALL of the the URLs AND their titles/or copy ALL of the URLs+titles+HTML links? This can be done with the Multiple Tab Handler add on; when I download the add on, I get a message saying that using the add on will disable Firefox's tab features. I prefer to use Firefox features rather than download and use an add on. Is there a way to do this without an add on?

    Hi LRagsdale517,
    You should definitely be able to upload multiple files by Shift-clicking or Ctrl-clicking the files you want to upload. Just to make sure you don't have an old version of the service cached, please clear the browser cache and then log in to https://cloud.acrobat.com/files. After clicking the File Upload icon in the upper-right corner, you should be able so select multiple files for upload.
    Please let us know how it goes.
    Best,
    Sara

    No one would know what Apple is working on, unless they announce, which they very rarely do.
    Have you tried the basics from the manual?
    restart.
    reset.
    restore.

  • I created an iMovie using pictures from my camera roll, I exported the movie to the camera roll and then deleted all of the pictures. Now I can't get the movie to play. Did deleting the pictures cause my IMovie to disappear? How can I get my movie back?

  • How i can insert videos, export to pdf and then watch the video? i can't

    How i can insert videos, export to pdf and then watch the video? i can't. It is suposse that i have to configurate the option save but i don't know how... any help?

    Fron the Pages Help menu:
    Using Sound and Movies
    You can add audio—a music file, a playlist from your iTunes library, or any other sound file—to a Pages document. You can add video that plays within a page.
    Pages accepts any QuickTime or iTunes file type, including the following:
    MOV
    MP3
    MPEG-4
    AIFF
    AAC
    Also note that some media files are protected under copyright law. Some downloaded music may be played only on the computer where the download occurred. Make sure the computer you are using has permission to play all the media files included in your document.
    When you add media files to your document, make sure that they will be available if you transfer your document to another computer. When saving your document, make sure the option “Copy audio and movies into document” is selected in the Save window. (If you don’t see the option, click the button next to the Save field to display the entire Save window, and then click the Advanced Options disclosure triangle.)

  • I am having the same problem I think.  With mobileme you simply copy documents to the idisk folder and then synch.  I cannot seem to sink that folder anymore.  Any idea as to how I can simply copy folders to icloud and then access the MS Word and PDF file

    Apple never bopthered to explain that this would happen
    Your iDisk is still accessible after moving to iCloud in exactly the same way as before. Nothing is deleted until June 30th 2012.
    , so I could easily have lost ALL of the files I kept on iDisk.
    No, you couldn't. Firstly, nothing was deleted from your iDisk. Secondly, any files stored on your iDisk should never be your only copy. Even if your iDisk spontaneously combusted, you should keep local backups elsewhere.
    Does Apple WANT people to move their storage elsewhere and stop paying Apple for it?
    Yes. Apple doesn't provide such a service anymore, nor are you paying them for it.
    Apple has made no effort to suggest remedies for the problem it has given iDisk users
    They've provided instructions on how to download your files from your iDisk. What you do with them after that is your choice.
