How Do I Safely Download?

Hello! After reading many horror stories here in Discussions, I was wondering: How do I safely download iTunes 5.0.1? Currently, I'm using the iTunes that came with my iPod software in July (iTunes 4.7.1, I think). Any tips that will help me not lose my library, or anything else is greatly appreciated! Thank You!

The best tip you can and should use is to have complete backups of your music files and the Library database file. Multiple backups are even better (DVD External Hard Drive, etc.).

  • How do I safely download google quick search box?

    Can anyone tell me, how do I safely download Google Quick Search Box?

    I'd likely use Spotlight or the google widget in Dashboard, although I usually stick with highlighting a word to search for, then ctrl-click & pick 'search with google'.
    QSB development seems to have ceased in 2010, and it was still 'beta' software then.
    http://www.alfredapp.com/ seems popular with some, and is in the app store.

  • How do I safely download Friz Quadrata font to my mac? where to download and where do I put it?

    how do I safely download Friz Quadrata font to my mac? where to download and where do I put it?

    Thanks for the help. I guess I am so afraid of some awful malware sneaking in, that I hesitate to go to any website and download stuff (learned a terrible lesson with MacKeeper! ... but that's another story). I took a deep breath, backed up my system, went to cooltext.com and downloaded Friz Quadrata. Then I made sure that it was in my font folder (which I found using Searchlight) and I moved it to the Modern Folder. I then restarted my Mac, and there it was! I is still not listed in Word, but if I go to the font tab and open "Font Collections," there it is. Everything seems to be working; I've used the font now and no crashes or freezes. Will keep you updated if some bad stuff happens. Thanks so much for giving me the courage to do this!!

  • How do I safely download and install firefox 3.6.17 in english?

    I had to remove (uninstall) firefox 4.0. I couldn't use it. Now I want to reinstall the firefox I had before which is 3.6.17. I tried once but it was from a bad site and a viral threat. Anyone know a safe way?

    Have you rendered both iOS 7 and iOS 8 (both of which will work on your iPhone 5) out of the question entirely without trying every possible configuration? The animations can be disabled entirely, if that's the problem. And if the whiter-brighter user interface is the problem, there's reverse-contrast modes that darken everything. You can expose accessibility controls to gain immediate access to these functions to toggle them on and off. I guess my point is you may have decided against upgrading the OS based on an early experience with iOS 7 when Apple has since made changes in later revisions to address some of the usability complaints.
    Now, Apple's instructions for downloading older versions of apps is to do so from the Purchased list, not from the app's product page.
    See here:
    Install the latest compatible version of an app on an earlier version of iOS or OS X - Apple Support
    Let us know how that works for you.

  • Can I safely download and run Java 7 on my OS X 10.6.8?

    Hello,
    Just purchased software that requires Java 7 ("runtime?"), but my system seems to only be able to run Java 6. How can I safely download and run Java 7 on my OS X 10.6.8? What is the solution or workaround?
    (PLEASE NOTE: I'm not a programmer. I rate my tech skills at a "3" on a scale from 1 to 10; 10 being strongest. I don't even know what "runtime" is... lol)
    Can anyone suggest anything? If so, I appreciate it.

    You can't. Java 7 requires OS X Lion or above.

  • How can I safely clean my Mac of old folders etc to make it run faster?er

    How can I safely clean my Mac of old folders, etc to make it run faster?

    The only real and safe way to do this is to do it manually  looking through each folder individually.
    Many third party utilities claim to clean out a hard drive of various detritus, but some times will delete data that it shouldn't  and delete any other  important data that it shouldn't have.
    The only "safe" way to accomplish what you need to accomplish is to do this manually.
    Stay away from the OS X system folder!!!!!
    Hard drive getting full?
    You can download an app called OmniDiskSweeper.
    This app will allow you to see where files maybe able to be delete are located.
    If your Mac is running a fairly recent version of OS X, here are some general guidelines.
    Follow some of my tips for cleaning out, deleting and archiving data from your Mac's internal hard drive.
    Have you emptied your iMac's Trash icon in the Dock?
    If you use iPhoto, iPhoto has its own trash that needs to be emptied, also.
    If you have images stored in iPhoto,,the only way to weed out duplicates is to do this manually.
    When you delete them, they go to iPhoto's Trash. Remember to empty this when you are done.
    If you store images in other locations other than iPhoto, then you will have to weed through these to determine what are duplicates and what isn't
    If you use Apple Mail app, Apple Mail also has its own trash area that needs to be emptied, too!
    Other things you can do to gain space.
    Delete any old or no longer needed emails and/or archive to disc, flash drives or external hard drive, older emails you want to save.
    Look through your Documents folder and delete any type of old useless type files like "Read Me" type files.
    Again, archive to disc, flash drives, ext. hard drives or delete any old documents you no longer use or immediately need.
    Look in your Applications folder, if you have applications you haven't used in a long time, if the app doesn't have a dedicated uninstaller, then you can simply drag it into the OS X Trash icon. IF the application has an uninstaller app, then use it to completely delete the app from your Mac.
    Download an app called OnyX for your version of OS X.
    When you install and launch it, let it do its initial automatic tests, then go to the cleaning and maintenance tabs and run the maintenance tabs that let OnyX clean out all web browser cache files, web browser histories, system cache files, delete old error log files.
    Typically, iTunes and iPhoto libraries are the biggest users of HD space.
    move these files/data off of your internal drive to the external hard drive and deleted off of the internal hard drive.
    If you have any other large folders of personal data or projects, these should be archived or moved, also, to the optical discs, flash drives or external hard drive and then either archived to disc and/or deleted off your internal hard drive.
    Good Luck!

  • How do I safely remove a flashcard from my mac air?

    How do I safely remove a flashcard from my mac air? I downloaded some pictures and cannot find the eject button.  Thank you.

    If you have mounted drives setup to show on your desktop, just drag the icon of the flashcard to the trash and then remove the card. If you don't have mounted drives setup to show on your desktop, go to finder and in the left pane, locate the flashcard and click it. There will be a little eject icon next to it. Just click that and then remove the card.

  • How to let user download multi files at the same time in WebDynpro ABAP?

    hi all:
    As you know, WeyDynpor has provided upload/download UI element, but it seems that it only support one file upload/downlaod at the same time.The following is the API method to download one file in Webdynpro:
        cl_wd_runtime_services=>attach_file_to_response(
         EXPORTING
           i_filename      = lv_filename
           i_content       = lv_content
           i_mime_type     = lv_mine_type
           i_in_new_window = abap_true
           i_inplace       = abap_false
    *      EXCEPTIONS
    *        others          = 1
    but if when use click one button, we want to provide user a html file plus 2 icons files which are used as this html file's resource file, then how to let user download these 3 files together at the same time?
    one simple way is calling the download api (cl_wd_runtime_services=>attach_file_to_response) 3 times,
    but it is very ugly that three popup windows are shown to let user select every file's download path, which is unaccepted.
    So anyone know more convienient way to handle it?
    thanks.

    Hi,
    I suggest you to zip the files and attach it to the response. Do the add file part for each of your files
         "References
         DATA lr_zip TYPE REF TO cl_abap_zip.
         "Variables
         DATA lv_zip_xstring TYPE xstring.
         DATA lv_zip_name TYPE string.

         DATA lv_file_name  TYPE string.
         "Create instance
         CREATE OBJECT lr_zip.
         "Add file
         lr_zip_attachments->add(
           EXPORTING name = lv_file_name
                  content = lv_file_content ).
         lr_zip_attachments->save( RECEIVING zip = lv_zip_xstring ).
         "Attach zip file to response
         cl_wd_runtime_services=>attach_file_to_response(
           EXPORTING i_filename      = lv_zip_name
                     i_mime_type     = 'ZIP/APPLICATION'
                     i_content       = lv_zip_xstring ).

    Hi,
    DOWNLOAD is obsolete FM in ECC 6. To get the same functionality , we need to use
