I accidentally got rid of the folder 'downloads'

I accidentally got rid of the folder 'downloads', it isn't in Trash anymore nor in Time Machine (removed it before I had Time Machine), how do I get it back?

I accidentally deleted the Downloads icon from the Dock. Then trying to drag Downloads from the home folder to the Dock, I accidently put it in the Trash and it disapeared from the home folder. The machine says find it in the Trash folder and drag it down to the Dock. But I can't find it in the Trash either. What should I do to restore it?

How do I get rid of the blue "downloading the latest applications" bar which won't go away even after uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox?

Can't get rid of the blue "downloading the latest applications" bar that seems to be just hanging and won't go away. I uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox, but the bar is still there after 2 days. I updated something (can't remember what!) on I.E., and it had the same blue bar, but it had a box I could x out of so it went away on I.E. I don't know why the blue bar is there on Firefox, as I did the update while on I.E.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I updated an application while on Internet Explorer.

Annette,
#In the menu bar, at the top of the Firefox window, Go to Tools -> Add-ons -> Extensions.
# Locate ''each ''of the following extensions by name and click the disable button
#Restart Firefox as prompted and see if the undesired toolbar has been removed.
#The extensions to disable are: '''Crawler Toolbar''', '''MP3 Rocket Toolbar''', '''MSN Toolbar''', '''Search Helper Extension'''
If you don't need some / all of those toolbars, consider leaving them disabled.
You can probably remove these toolbars permanently from Start -> Control Panel -> Add/Remove Programs.

I got my ipod touch 2 a while ago, and was locked out. however, we got rid of the computer with the original iTunes. what do we do to unlock it?

Connect the device to the new iTunes library in recovery mode and restore it to factory settings. There are no other alternatives. Here are steps for getting your iPod Touch into recovery mode.

When I use under file save page as a desktop icon firefox downloads 2 a icon and a folder, how do I get rid of the folder and just keep the icon like in I.E.

I'm just trying to save my favorite website short cut icon to the desktop instead of using bookmarks for everything. In I.E. you have the option to save to desktop your favorite website and you only get a shortcut icon. but in Firefox if you save your website to your desktop you get both the website icon but also a folder. but if I try to remove or delete the folder it removes the icon also. how in Firefox can I get just a shortcut icon for favorite website but without the folder.

Hi Panamark,
The problem has been resolved for me. I am a little fuzzy on how it got fixed.
I only have 3G, so I think I went to the library to use wi-fi.
I think I just deleted the stuck apps, and the downloaded them again. You do not have to pay again when you download a previously purchased app.
It is now August, and fortunately I have not had any stuck apps lately.
As you may already know, you cannot download an app over 20 MB via 3G.
I have the Kindle app also. No new updates lately. I only bought one thing using Kindle. It was a guide to iPad that was only $1.99 or so, but it did not really have anything that cannot be found in normal free Apple guide.
I have borrowed an ebook from the library using Overdrive app. You can choose the ebook version from Kindle.
I don't have any weather apps.
Let me know what happened when you get the chance.

Windows users having trouble with their iPods should locate a Mac user. In many cases when an iPod won't show up on a PC that it will show up on the Mac. Then it can be restored. When the PC user returns to his computer the iPod will be recognized by the PC, reformatted for the PC, and usable again. By the way, it works in reverse too. A Mac user often can get his iPod back by connecting it to a PC and restoring it.
Tips
a. It does not matter whether the format is completed or not, the key is to erase (or partly) the corrupted firmware files on the Hard Drive of the iPod. After that, when the iPod re-connected with a computer, it will be recognized as an fresh external hard drive, it will show up on the iTunes 7.
b. It is not a difficult issue for a Mac user to find a window base computer, for a PC user, if they can’t find any Mac user, they can go to a nearest Apple Shop for a favor.
c. You may need to switch around the PC and Mac, try to do several attempts between “Format” and “Restore”

Firefox keeps creating the folder "Downloads"

Using 3.6.10
Firefox keeps creating the "Downloads" folder in my documents even though the folder I specified for the downloads is different..
C:\MyDocs\Downloads\ < keeps getting created
C:\Downloads\ < is where I told FF to put downloads
It's driving me nuts! lol. Even tried installing a download manager to see if it did anything and it didn't fix the issue... :(

Try resetting all of the preferences relating to the download directory.
# Type '''about:config''' into the location bar and press enter
# Accept the warning message that appears, you will be taken to a list of preferences
# In the filter box type '''browser.download''' to bring up a small number of preferences
# For any preference that has a value set to a folder, right-click on it and choose '''Reset'''
# Now set the download folder in the Options dialog again
If it still creates the folder, try clearing the list of downloaded files in the download manager. In the Tools menu select Downloads, then click on the Clear List button.

Can't get rid of the folder and exclamation mark!

Hi all,
Hope one of you can help. I have just returned home after a month away working and went to listen to some music on my ipod but found that the charge had gone. I plugged my ipod into my laptop and left the ipod to charge for a few hours, one thing i did notice was my laptop didn't and hasn't recognised my Ipod i.e opened up Itunes when connect up to the USB port since letting my battery go flat,other noticeable things are my conputer only comes up as E drive when connected not Apple Ipod as usual however when i hit remove hardware on the toolbar of my laptop it identifies the Ipod. I have tried the 5 r's and have had no luck with any of them and i still have the folder with a exclamation mark. One thing to note is when i try to run Ipod updator it comes up with a message no dock station found but it shows my serial number of the ipod when i first connect but comes up with this message when i try to restore. I am at my wits end now i have tried diagnostics and everything looks ok no faults flagged.
Can any of you genius out there help please?
Regards
Woody

Hi, qmonbeck.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
You should be able to download past purchases free of charge by following the steps in the article below.
Downloading past purchases from the iTunes Store, App Store, and iBooks Store
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519
If the item that you are missing is not listed as a past purchase, it may have been downloaded with another Apple ID or that version is no longer available from the iTunes Store at the request of the record label.

Accidentally Got Rid of Sound Driver

I was having issues with my laptop playing sound out of both my headphones and speakers, and one thing led to another, and I accidentally deleted the sound driver while trying to figure out solutions.
I tried to re-download the driver from the HP website using my computer's model number, and when I try to install it, the message "The hardware detected is not supported by this IDT software package. The install will be aborted." appears.
Can anyone help with this problem?
My computer: HP Pavilion g7-2269wm Notebook PC
Product Number: B5Z52UAR#ABA
Serial Number: {Personal Information Removed}
Thank you, in advance!

Hi,
The support page has only one driver for audio:
http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp59501-60000/sp59620.exe
My suggestion: reboot the machine and let it find the driver for you or reinstall the above file. Other option is go to the following link and click Scan now .

Can I get rid of the 10MB download limit for 3G?

Whenever I try to download a file arger than 10 MB on my iPhone3GS, it tells me that Files Larger than 10 MB should be downloded via Wifi. How do I get around this, so that my files will download from my 3G service provider (just like the smaller files do)?

How do I get around this
By doing as it says and downloading large files via WiFi.
If your network operator doesn't allow > 10MB downloads over the mobile network, there's no way to get around it.
It has been reported that some network operators have recently increased the limit to 20mb:

HT201365 How can I get rid of the new download ?

The new update is a disaster for me . How do I get rid of it ? The graphics have changed the quality of the colours so much that my colour blind partner cannot use my phone if he needs to. In an emergency this could be awful. We could use the old system without any trouble. Please sort this one out quickly APPLE !

Well, to start out with, you cannot downgrade. It is not supported by Apple. Next, if you want Apple to hear what you have to say, since they are not here, we are all users like you, go to the feedback page at www.apple.com/feedback and click on the appropriate link.

I accidentally got rid of my whole toolbar and need help getting it back. Is there a way to do this?

When I was doing a Facebook screenshot I needed to widen the picture (not even thinking about using the maximize and minimize tool) so I right-clicked and unchecked all of my toolbars. I reeeeeally need them back so I need a way to get them back... this is where you guys come in...
P.S. Here's a pic of my dire situation:

don't ask how i got the url w/out a toolbar :( it was hard

Firefox 3.6+ versions have a feature to allow the user to hide the Menu bar.
Hit the ''Alt'' key to temporarily show the Menu bar, then open View > Toolbars and select Menu bar, so it has a check-mark.

They got rid of the YouTube app when you update your ipad

[Solved]Got rid of the whole top panel

I accidentally removed the top panel (Menu, Notification area everything) in Gnome. How do I get it back?
[Edit] Nevermind I figured it out.

Well What I did was right click on the bottom panel and clicked "Add New Panel" and it put one at the top. Then I just added what was on it when I accidentally removed it.

I can't install or uninstall itunes. Says the iTunes.msi file is not a valid file. My iTunes started acting odd after having the Windows XP virus. I got ride of the virus, but then the repercussion of having it have wrecked havoc.

An error pops up saying that the file isn't found and then when I link it to the file, the error says it isn't a valid itunes.msi file. I had iTunes on my PC but it won't work properly so I am trying to re-install or update it. Neither works.

So I tried installing it and when I did it stopped at a certain point, giving me a message about "not being able to write to the file C:\ProgramFiles\iTunes\ iTunes.Resources\fr.lproj\ipodsettings.nib\objects.xib"
problems with language resource files and folders (i believe that's one of the French ones that you're having a problem with) are often produced by disk damage around the areas of the files in question.
so perhaps let's try running a chkdsk over your C drive. see:
How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? if so, does the uninstall or reinstall go through any better afterwards?
