How to hide downloaded items that appear as icons on desktop

Every time I am opening a file or saving a file from the internet it goes to my computer screen and i don't no how to make it so it doesn't show up there as an icon. What do I do?

Open your browser's preferences. The General section is usually where you will find an option to set the folder where downloaded files are saved. Designate some other location than your Desktop. Create a Downloads folder, for example, in your Home folder, then set the browser's preferences to save files to that folder.

  • How do I download software that I've added its serial number to my account. Lost disc.

    How do I download software that I've added its serial number to my account. I no longer have the disc.
    When I go to my apps, it just lists them with their serial numbers but no download link.
    What I've gleened from the download instructions imply I can only download apps which I've purchased online.
    What's the point of assosiating the serial with my account if I can't do anything wth it? A glorified note pad?

    don't knock glorified note pads.  at least,  you have your serial numbers.
    if you follow all 7 steps you can dl a trial here:  http://prodesigntools.com/adobe-cs5-5-direct-download-links.html
    and activate with your serial.
    if you have a problem dl'g, you didn't follow all 7 steps.  the most common error involves failing to meticulously follow steps 1,2 and/or 3 (which adds a cookie to your system enabling you to download the correct version from adobe.com).

    Hi - how do  I download items already purchased?  I have tried store and search for available downloads but it tells me they are already downloaded - they are not however - fyi I lost my phone so I am using a new phone with the same apple id and assumed I could just re-access my previously purcahsed items - how do I find them to download?
    Many thanks

    many thanks for a really fast response - Yes I have seen on other postings since you only get one hit and you are right I should have backed up and didn't as I am a bit of a novice and naive (but learning fast now).  Have used your suggestion and accessed and downloaded some historical apps.
    many thanks - I will ensure I back up regularly going forward. 
    Thanks again

    how do i download items like pictures from my iphone to computer.

    Don't worry. Although iTunes blocks us transferring photos back from iPhone to computer, you can have some third party app to help you.
    When I met this problem, I read this tutorial to transfer photos from iPhone 5 to pc.
    Hope it work!

  • The new iMac has no cd drive so how do I download software that I have?

    The new iMac has no cd drive so how do I download software that I have? I have adobe photoshop elements 11 and baboo drawing pad and they both have CDs to install.

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    The new iMac hasn't got a SuperDrive to insert CDs and DVDs, so you can't install software from CDs and DVDs.
    Instead, you have different ways to install the applications you have on DVDs:
    1. Buy any external optical drive for your Mac and use it to install your applications.
    2. If you have another PC or Mac, you can save the external optical drive cost and use Remote Disc > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5287?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US Note that this may be a bit slow

    Or, if you have two compatible Macs with Lion, you can use AirDrop.

  • External devices (HD's, digital cameras) do not appear as icons on desktop

    This is, I think, exactly the same question asked by Byron B.
    That is: external devices (Hard Drives, digital cameras) do not appear as icons on desktop. They used to, but not anymore. I can access them through the finder windows, but no icons on the desktop.
    What causes this? More importantly, how do I rectify this?
    All help and wisdom much appreciated.
    Thanks so much!

  • How to hide menu item(Download a Copy...etc) of online site in sharepoint app according to different condition

    My requirement is that need to build a  sharepoint app, the app need to deploy to office store, whether to display "Download a Copy" according to different login in user(sharepoint office365 user), 
    click the  documnet, navigate to the other website,  after get the document stream, i need to convert the stream to the other data format(pdf...etc),  maybe i need the third-party dll to achieve it, so i think of sharepoint provider-hosted
    way to handle the requirement.
    i don't know whether there are the other way , if my way is the best, how to achieve it ?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that you want to hide "Download a Copy" according to the user permissions.
    We can achieve it using jQuery and SharePoint REST API. Use REST API to check user permissions, then hide "Download a Copy" like this:
    $("A[id$='Ribbon.Documents.Copies.Download-Large']").hide();

    For other questions, I would suggest you post it in a new thread, it would make others easier to focus on one question in one single thread and it will benefit other community members who stuck with the same question.

  • How to delete purchased items that have not yet downloaded

    How do I delete purchased itune items that have not been downloaded.  When I first started using itunes to download movies I would recieve both hd and standard and I don't want both.....I want to delete all the hd ones.

    Sorry, but you can't remove things already in the download queue. If you don't want the HD versions, just buy the standard-definition versions ("Buy Movie" rather than "Buy HD Movie"). As to movies already in the queue, it will be by far the easiest to just let them finish downloading.
    Regards.
