whenever i download larger apps i.e > 100mb,
after download is completed, instead of processing it just restarts downloading

You can automatically save downloads without seeing the Open/Save/Cancel dialog in the Options:
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > General > "Saves files to"
However, I can't think of a way to have the Open/Save/Cancel dialog always default to Save. I think mine suggests whatever I did last for the same type of content, but I haven't paid close attention.
I'm out of time to address the problem with "do this automatically" but there is one suggestion for why it could be grayed out in this article: [[Change what Firefox does when you click on or download a file]].
Is it possible you had a download-related extension before? To compare settings and extensions, please retain the Old Firefox Data folder on your desktop. Aside from checking the extensions in there, it would be interesting to run a text file comparison on your currently active prefs.js file and your old one in that folder.

  • Whenever I open Mail.app, my iMac crashes after a while.

    Hi guys,
    whenever I open Mail.app on my iMac (Mid 2010, OSX 10.8.2) crashes like I suddenly lost power. Did anyone expirience such a problem before? The iMac runs fine, currently I'm using Thunderbird without problems.
    What I alread did:
    - Reinstall OS
    Best regrads,
    Tobias

    Unfortunately, it's pretty hard to find what actually caused the issue. Especially if it has been fixed now.
    If you did a Migration, it would only transfer user data settings and files over. From what i can understand the reason why the Mac switched off was just a fluke, that in result caused the issue with Mail.
    What i would suggest, if the enviroment you live in is dusty, is to try and benchmark the Mac with any benchmarking application. It might have been caused by overheating. If the Mac reaches to a point where it switches off, it would be best to go to an Apple Retail Store, or an Service provider, to get it cleaned from all the dust.
    Other than that... Mac OS is developed in a way that a re-installation will fix most issues straight away. In very rare occasions will you need to fiddle with the OS manually.

  • When downloading apps updates, none of the updates actually complete, they remain 'processing file' even when the down load looks complete. Any help?

    This problem is happening when I run iTunes, regardless of whether any devices are connected.
    And none of them can be deleted from the progress list either...

  • HT5622 Whenever I install an app I never have to type in my APPLE ID password why is that? PLZ FIX!

    Okay so whenever I install an app I never got to type in my Apple ID password and I restarted it twice it didnt work also an app my friend downloaded  was updating fine till today whenever I try to update it it say sanvir*** @hotmail.com and that's not mine nor my friends ID. PLZ HELP AM I GETTING HACKED!?
    <Email Edited by Host>

    That means you have an app that was purchased with that account that needs updating.
    - Apps are locked to the account that purchased them.
    - To update apps you have to sign into the account that purchased the apps. If you have apps that need updating purchased from more than one account you have to update them one at a time until the remaining apps were purchased from one account.

  • Why I cannot see the progress bar whenever I download my apps directly from my App Store ?

    Whenever I install an app, I cannot see the app's icon on the home screen and then when I proceed into the home page, the apps will not be installed unless I stay into the App Store and wait till the circle on the top of the screen stop turning. It is really very inconvenient. I'm using iPhone 4S. Anyone knows the solution? And I'm can't see the progress bar showing whether its downloading. I'm using IOS 6. And I've got another issue. Why whenever I want to reinstall the youtube they would say its free. When I press the 'free' it will go into the 'install' and then when I press the 'install', it would go back to 'free' and because of that I'm unable to download youtube. It's only youtube I'm able to install other apps. But ya, I cannot see the progress bar. Help anyone?

    Actually, the app is there, and it asks to PAY AGAIN, that was the issue, but I have just solved the problem using your first advice, as I tried a few times with different names in my account.
    For example, you told me to use the same ID...
    I have a ONE account, but sometimes I sign in as [email protected] and sometimes I sign in as [email protected] and sometimes I sign in as [email protected] and that made all the difference, as I tried them all and finally with [email protected] worked and gave me the opportunity to download again.
    Thanks a lot for the tip.

  • Invalid checksum for iTunes? ... can't download large apps?

    I've noticed two things.
    First, I've tried to download iTunes 11 from both the app store and a straight download, and, both ways (and every time -- 7 tries now), I get an invalid checksum. I've downloaded from Chrome; I've downloaded from Safari. I can't imagine the source is the problem, so what's happening there? My network connection seem otherwise solid, based on my ping rate to California, and standard web use.
    Secondly, iTunes 10 won't download large apps. Neither the 'Magic the Gathering' update or the 'Grand Theft Auto: Vice City' app will download. (Both of those weigh in at over a gig.) At some point during the download, I get the warning, "An unknown error occurred (-50)." Smaller apps seem fine.
    This is with a late 2008 13-inch Macbook Pro running 10.8.2.
    Help? ... and thank you!

    Just need to find a way to get a hold of someone who can fix this.

  • Problem in downloading large App

    Trying to download Mavericks but since its a large file, cant download in a single sitting. I leave it in pause mode and when i try to resume it shows an error and starts download from Zero.

    I bought a large app (370MB)...and I am finding it difficult to download...when it's about 80% complete, it goes back to zero, and I'm tired. I felt like I wasted my money and If I go another day trying to download something that I bought and cannot enjoy it, I'll be forced to ask back for money. My internet connection is fine...it must be an apple problem!

  • HT5622 Why am I asked to enter my Apple ID and Password whenever I Download an app? although I'm already signed in. this thing appears on every new apps I wanna have and dosen't let me to use the app.

    Why am I asked to enter my Apple ID and Password whenever I Download an app? although I'm already signed in. this thing appears on every new apps I wanna have and doesn't let me to use the app.

    This is also happening to me but when i re set the password on line and then go to my ipod to use it is says it does nott recognize it ??

  • Why do i always get "cannot connect to itunes" message whenever i download after putting my password? plus i cannot update my apps? please help me thanks :)

    why do i always get "cannot connect to itunes" whenever i update my apps or buy anything from the store while my ipod can download? it has thesame email user

    I use only one Apple ID and only one ID. I did have to change the password at one point but I had no issues at all with updating apps after I changed the password.
    If you can download new apps with the ID that you changed the password for, I would think that you will be able to update apps associated with that ID as well.
    Did you try restarting the iPad after signing out of the one account and then sign in to the other account/accounts?

  • I want to update my ipad2 when i used to download the os it shows error as network timed out and i repeated again and again always it shows that network timed out but the apps are downloading but large apps are't why?

    Try temporarily turning off all your firewall and antivirus software until the download has completed.

  • Cannot download large app

    I bought a large app (370MB)...and I am finding it difficult to download...when it's about 80% complete, it goes back to zero, (via iTunes or directly to my ipad) and I'm tired. I felt like I wasted my money and If I go another day trying to download something that I bought and cannot enjoy it, I'll be forced to ask back for money. My internet connection is fine...it must be an apple problem!

    Okay, got it!
    it's so simple.
    Just click to Finder and "go to folder", enter /users/shared/SC Info and press go..
    The Finder opens and shows now the hidden folder SC Info.
    Drag the folder to trash and reboot the system.
    After reboot it worked like a charm... all could be so easy... I don't know why, but it solved the problem immediately.

  • Downloading large apps via a second computer

    I've moved to a new city for a new job opportunity. Everything is great except the home Internet charges in this city are outrageously expensive for such a small data amount!
    My iPad has several large apps it needs updating which would blow my home Internet data usage for the month if downloaded by home Wifi.
    I have free internet at work.
    My question is could I setup iTunes on my work computer, (windows), and log into my apple account and download one or two of the large apps that I have brought, and then take them home and put them into the iTunes-mobile applications folder on my Mac (deleting the older version) and then Sync my iPad?
    Would iTunes recognize that the app has been updated or is there some internal database that needs to be updated that recognizes the new version of the app?
    Apart from using my employers Internet usage, everything else is legit.
    Thanks for your feedback.

    You should be able to download the app to your normal computer (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519) and get it onto yout iPhone that way.
    If you are away from that computer, then you download all your apps to the iMac and then try syncing - I had a similar issue when I moved to a new computer and it said that it would delete all my apps off it, but it didn't (though I did copy all music and apps to it first).

  • Why is it that whenever I download a song from Itunes that a small grey round button appears next to the song (apparently this is the download progress button), but when I press on it to resume, the song disappears. This wasn't happening before.

    Why is it that whenever I download a song from itunes that a small grey button appears next to the song (apparently this is the download progress) but whenever I hit it to resume, the song disappears. I am getting annoyed with having to copy the songs manually onto my phone. Thanks for anyones help. Cheers

    If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the dodgy tracks and try redownloading fresh copies. For instructions, see the following document:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
    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 items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.
