Since I have updated to Maverick, every time I download anything, it automatically saves the file on my desktop.  I do not want it saved on the desktop.

Download how?  If you are downloading via Safari, see Safari Preferences, General.

    Trying to run a printer on Parallels since I have update to mavericks?  It won't access windows. it is saying I don't have access on my computer to do this. 

    So do you mean that you have shared a printer that is installed in the Windows VM that is running in Parallels? And you cannot connect to this shared printer from 10.9?
    What version of Windows is it?

  • Every time i download anything, it is saved as a binary file. how do i change this setting?

    every time i download anything, it is saved as a binary file. how do i change this setting?

    Here is a simple fix I found that worked for me.
    1) Clear your download history
    2) Go to Options > Options > General Tab: Change your download location to something other than what you currently have it set at. Apply the changes.
    3) Go back into the Options and change it back to what it was or whatever you want it to be.
    You should be all set from there.

  • Every time I download a PDF I get a message that says There was a RAISE without a handler. The application will now close. What does this mean?

    I work on a Power Mac G5 running OSX 10.5.8.
    We recently had to upgrade Java.
    Now every time I download a PDF I get the message "There was a RAISE without a handler. The application will now close."
    I downloads the PDF OK, but then Safari closes and I have to start it back up to get to my email.
    What is the message telling me? It did not do this before we upgraded Java.

    I'm having the same issue. Again, unfortunately. And of course you will find through various searches that it is a reoccurring issue, one that Adobe seems to have failed to acknowledge.
    You can delete your preference files. Same thing. RAISE blah blah crash.
    You can even go and do a restore from an uncorrupted backup from over 4 months ago, and yet it still doesn't solve the problem, thus there is a compatibility issue.
    The program is battling with another program (of which there really is no telling) and therefore crashing the moment you open it. The software itself is clean and uncorrupted, yet somewhere deep within OSX there is a problem that won't allow the software to open.
    The only temporary solution i've found to solve the problem is a clean adobe install. Just delete and uninstall all and any traces of Adobe Acrobat, then reinstall to find a working adobe product. For a small while, at least.
    I've never tried creating a new account, but from what others say it works. Not worth my time though.
    If anyone was wondering I have zero third party plugins. Its straight from Adobe CS4. Pro version.
    Someone above mentioned using the drop down menu in acrobat to reset the software. I can't even do that! The "RAISE" window pops up before that actual software! Its ridiculous!
    Its really quite peeving to know that this issue has been around for years and Adobe seems to just ignore it. I know I don't want to pay for a company that fails to meet their customers needs. This is your problem Adobe, not ours to deal with. Fix It.

  • Every time i download a compilation cd or a rap cd where there is multiple rappers on any given song the entire cd gets split into individual files.Is there a way to put it into one singular file like all the other cds?

    Every time i download compilation cds each song saves sepertaly because each song is by a diferant artist. Is there a way to save it under 1 file like all the other cds?

    Generally all you need to do is fill in an appropriate Album Artist. For more details see my article on Grouping Tracks Into Albums, in particular the topic One album, too many covers.

  • I have used Firefox for years on my Mac laptop for years, I tried to update to version 4 and now I have no Firefox and every time I download the the Firefox the emblem has a awhite circle with a cross through it, so I can't drag it to applications.

    The support page is ridiculous, it assumes you already have Firefox and that the install went fine. I am having trouble with an update to Version 4. I have an ibook G4 running OS X. I have used Firefox for years. When I downloaded the update, the Firefox logo thing that you are supposed to drag to the Applications folder has a white circle with a line through it. I have rebooted many times and have updated all other software.

    Hello,
    I wouldn't trust any Firefox "update" from a non-Mozilla website. Sometimes, unofficial builds contain adware or malware. If you want to use Firefox for AOL do so at your own risk.

  • Since I have updated my iOS to iOS 7 I'm unable to save the photo attachments from email. It this a bug? Please look into the issue.

    Unable to to save photo attachments from emails in ios7

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you boot, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • HT201364 i have updated to mavericks but still cant download ilife for free ?

    how do i download ilife / iworks for free i was told i could but apparently i cant ?

    If you had the last version of either suite (iLife '11 for example) of apps you can upgrade them for free.
    If you have older versions you'll need to purchase the newest ones.

  • I am having trouble with my mac book air. I think I have a virus because every time i click on a link it opens up popup windows and other things. How do I reset the computer?

    I'm not very good with computers, so I need to be told how to do this as simple as possible. Please help.

    It's not a virus.
    You may have inadvertently installed adware. Eradicating it is simple and you don't have to download or install anything to fix it. For an explanation or how this may have occurred, how to avoid it in the future, and for one possible solution read How to install adware.

  • I woud like to download the latest version of Firefox but do not want to lose all the info I have on Reminderfox?

  • Every time I donwload anything, I get an unresponsive script.

    Since installing Lion OSX, every time I download anything, I get an unresponsive script.

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

  • Every time i download something i get this error message "Fireclam Problem"

    Every time i download anything i get this problem once the download is completed.
    Fireclam Problem
    The program executable (null) could not be found.
    Make sure that ClamAV/ClamWin is installed properly and check the Fireclam settings
    I downloaded the add-on Fireclam, it didn't help.
    Please HELP how do i make this error message stop popping up. Thanks :)

    Hi, Kmkriel,
    I did some research on the add on and all that came up are the crashes for that add on. Please disable the add on and see if the error message continues.
    After reading about the add on, it seems that ClamAV/ClamWin needs to be installed in order for the scan to take place before the download.
    If this continues when the add on is disabled please do a virus scan. Sometimes a problem with Firefox may be a result of malware installed on your computer, that you may not be aware of.
    You can try these free programs to scan for malware, which work with your existing antivirus software:

    (By the way, would I need to use also the red and white phono cables also to get sound?)
    Yes, S-video cables do not carry sound.
