How do I stop downloading the same podcast four times

How do I stop downloading eavh podcast four times Arums

First of all, that sounds like your computer is not secured from other users. Make sure to have the login page come up on startup and set a password for your computer to wake from sleep, etc.
In your Dictation & Speech panel, select the Text to Speech section and in the Voice drop-down, choose Customize...
In there find the voices that have been added to your listing and uncheck them. Hopefully, that will stop any further downloading.
The voice currently downloading is grayed out, meaning you can't stop it directly.
HOWEVER, if you find it in Activity Monitor you can. Open Activity Monitor and go to the Network tab.
Sort the activity by Received Bytes and your culprit should show at the top, with the name softwareupdates or something like that. Force quit that and you will get a notice that your voice download was interrupted. It will be unchecked in Dictation & Speech.
Hope this helps.

TS1424 I downloaded a song that I purchased from the ITunes store, but the song does not play properly. How can I re-download the same song without having to purchase it a second time?

I downloaded a song that I purchased from the ITunes store, but the song does not play properly. How can I re-download the same song without having to purchase it a second time?

I could not find an option to "report a problem".
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the item that is not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the entry, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.
(Not entirely sure what happens after you click that link, but fingers crossed it should be relatively straightforward.)

How can I save to the same map every time when printing pdfs?

How can I save to the same map every time when printing pdfs?
Finder points to the document map even when I chose a different map recently.
I often print series of pdfs from the print dialog box, I'd like to choose the map to save to and then have all subsequent pdf prints automatically directed to the same map until I decide otherwise.

that link seems to be broken right now:
403 Error - Forbidden - No cred, dude.

How do i stop all the popups every bloody time i click my trackpad a bloody mackeeper or similar pops up

how do i stop all the popups every bloody time i click my trackpad a bloody mackeeper or similar pops up

In addition to reply from Niel, some generalities
There are at least two schools of thought expressed by experienced users here in this Apple community regarding malware and popups.
One school primarily uses free application(s); the second school requires no additional software and just some simple steps on your part.
Read these (of many threads) discussions.

How do I get Itunes to stop downloading the same TV Show episodes multiple times and delete the duplicates?

Recently I started buying season passes for TV Shows on ITunes and I have no problem downloading them to begin with but after I download anything else from the ITunes store ITunes will try to download all of the episodes in all of the seasons of every show again. Sometimes I don't catch it before they download so I now have 2 of almost every episode in the season passes I have. If I do catch it and stop the downloads the episodes that didn't get downloaded are there but they are grey .Also it wont let me delete the extras so they are just sitting there taking up space. I have no issue with the individual episodes I buy of other shows it is just the season passes. Actually I checked and it also has a couple of other things in there that I stopped from downloading previously but most of it is the season passes.
I hope someone can help me.

Yes, you'll have to individually add each new song that you've downloaded.
When you add them to iTunes--you're just adding the file path to the location on your computer. When you move the file location, iTunes won't know where to look for it and will give you the infamous "!" symbol. Then you'll have to browse to the new location and tell iTunes where to find it.
How many new songs do you add at a time? If it's not many, it's probably easiest to just add them one file at a time.
To find the new songs, the file names should be good clues--they are fairly complete song titles on my computer.
And, you might want to do this each time you download a new song so you don't forget to add them!

How do I tell photoshop to stop opening the same document every time I start Photoshop CS6?

Hi all,
Each and every time I start up Photoshop CS6 (running the latest version I think....13.0.1 x64) on my Mac Running 10.7.5
the same document opens up. As if it thinks it crashed and needs to recover it. Im a member of Creative Cloud in case that matters.
I have saved the document and closed it properly and yet - it returns every time I start up the program. Can anyone help?
Its not a killer issue but extremely annoying.
thank you.
-wendy-

Yeah - literally can't find anything remotely similar. If anyone knows where I might find the thread to a fix I'd be mightly helpful.
Haven't a clue how to word to it any differently to try to find the answer.

Why won't iTunes stop downloading the same cd over and over again?

I recently downloaded a cd from the itunes store, the download is complete and the songs are on my iPod. Now everytime I pull up iTunes I have 13 new downloads but the songs are already downloaded. I dont want to purchase any thing else untill I have this problem solved. So what do I do? Oh and yes I have the latest version of iTunes.

Anyone have any suggestions?

Tbird starts downloading but stops at one message and keeps downloading the same message each time it does a synch.

I have not changed any account settings and can still access my email online. The problem started randomly yesterday and has continued after logging off and on twice.
My email is accessed from att using a POP server.

The sort fields should generally be empty unless you've putting in custom values to sort solo artists by their surnames. You can apply common changes to thousands of tracks at once, just don't apply the wrong change because there is no undo.
It is a good idea to backup before undertaking large scale changes. See this backup tip for a suggested approach.

Thunderbird is locking up on a message and I have to delete it on Bellsouth otherwise it will download the same email over and over. How do I fix?

It started a couple of weeks ago. I noticed one email being downloaded several times. After checking a lot of things I deleted the e-mail on Bellsouth and Thunderbird then downloaded all of my e-mails. Over time it has started to do this several times in one batch of e-mails. The downloading bar will say it's down loading 1 (or whatever the number is) of say 71 messages. It may download 1 or more then it stops downloading. I go into Bellsouth and delete the last message downloaded and hit Get Mail in Thunderbird to start the process over.
If I don't delete the last e-mail downloaded when I hit Get Mail Thunderbird will download the same e-mail again and stop. Some times it will start a download and work for an extended time and then stop the download without downloading a single e-mail.

That sounds like an anti virus choking on a mail. Norton is fond of doing this, but it is not alone.
Restart the operating system in '''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Safe_mode safe mode with Networking]'''.

If your mail download in this safe mode then look to your anti virus and disable email scanning.

How do I merge multiple subscriptions to the same podcast?

In iTunes I have multiple subscriptions to the same identical podcast (same podcast name and same url) ... some of the subscriptions have duplicated entries and some have unique entries ... (how this happened I have no idea, but that is beside the point) ... my question is how do I merge these multiple subscriptions into a single podcast subscription? I have tried cut & paste in the hope that I could then delete (unsubscribe) to all of the redundant/repeated subscriptions, but that does not work ... in explorer I have found that ALL my podcast files from ALL my podcast subscriptions are found in a single folder .. so all the entries from my multiple subscriptions are there as well ... this smoked my hope that each podcast subscription would have it's own folder or sub-folder ... so I'm stuck ... does anyone know how I can merge multiple subscriptions to the same podcast into a single podcast subscription (without my losing the uniques scattered throuhout the mutiple subscriptions) ... ???

I would love to be able to do exactly what you are suggesting .. the problem is, if I delete the duplicate subscriptions, I lose the unique files unique to the duplicate subscription I delete ... the problem is that I can't find a way to save/move the uniques (in advance of deleting the duplicate subscription) into a single subscription ... is there a way to do this ??? Does anyone know how to do this ??? Please help !!!

I purchased Mountain Lion on my MacBook and want it on my mac desktop as well. Can I download the same purchase on my desktopMac? and how do i do that?

I purchased Mountain Lion on my MacBook and want it on my mac desktop as well. Can I download the same purchase on my desktopMac? and how do i do that?

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
When you purchase Mountain Lion, you can install it as many times as you want on all your computers for free. To install it on the desktop, open the App Store, go to Purchases tab and download OS X Mountain Lion.
Another option is to redownload it on the MacBook, put the installer onto a USB drive and connect it to the desktop in order to upgrade
