I can't save the setting for downloads to go to the specified folder (such as the desktop). It works once but it restores to default next time I open Firefox.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened

Make sure that you not run Firefox in [[Private Browsing]] mode.
In Private Browsing mode some menu items are disabled (grayed) and some features like visited links and others are disabled and not working.
You are in Private Browsing mode if you see "Tools > Stop Private Browsing".

    how can i save the media by restoring my ipod 4 ?

    Right click on your device in the device list and choose "transfer purchases", this will copy all bought media from the iTunes store to your computer.
    For all other media you'll have to use 3rd party software, for example Touchcopy , just to name one of the many.

  • How can I save zoom setting for a DOCUMENT so it opens at that setting?

    I find an optimal zoom setting for a document I'd like to use (say 42%) and want the document to open at that setting.  I save the document with File>Save Copy.  However when I open the document, it opens at the DEFAULT zoom setting set in the Preferences for program.  If I change the zoom level here to what I desire for that document, obviously all documents will open at that default setting.
    How can I save my desired zoom level for a document, which will most likely be different for EACH document, and have the saved document open at that setting?
    This seems like a trivial exercise / feature that should be easy to implement BOTH by the programmers of the software and the user setting the zoom level.
    Also, I want to suppress the bookmarks sidebar.  I save without the bookmarks but the documents opens with the side bar.  Can't THIS be set for each document?
    Why is it so difficult to tailor the viewing of a document to exactly what the viewer wants?

    OK.  Sorry for the mistake in posting the question here.
    Again it seems like it should be trivial to save a document in the Reader with a viewer's desired zoom setting.  I find this very helpful as I like to use a zoom setting that when scrolling down the document only one full page of the document is viewed (like turning the pages of a book).  Without this feature, partial pages are displayed when scrolling unless one experiments to find the correct zoom setting (often it is 60%).  One must do this every time one opens the same document, unless one remembers the zoom setting.
    Oh well ....

  • My iPod was last synced on a Mac which was stolen. How can I save the music currently on it so when I use my new windows computer I won't lose everything?

    I don't have access to any Mac computers, so I don't have that option at all.  And I'm not sure where any of my music was stored other than my iPod....it was possibly on another portable hard drive we still have so I might be okay, but I can't guarantee that. 
    Is there any way to save the music that's already on there, or is it going to automatically reset itself when I try to plug it in? 
    I have an older model iPod, if that makes a difference...can't remember exactly which but it's probably 2nd or 3rd gen.

    Is there any way to save the music that's already on there
    Yes.
    Launch iTunes on the new computer.
    From the menu bar click Store / Authorize This Computer.
    Connect the iPod to the P/C.
    Now click File / Transfer Purchases From...

  • Docs&settings only shows bookmarks from Int Explorer used previously, not Moxilla. How can I save the bookmarks which are shown correctly when using MF?

    I want to save my bookmarks as I have done periodically since 2000 using Xp.
    For copying to F drive or USB, procedure is open C drive, Documents and settings, my name, Favorites
    I have hundreds of sorted bookmarks which I update fairly often.
    Changed to MF about five years ago.
    It looks like nothing has been added to the Favorites within Documents and Settings since then - all have the blue Int. Explorer logo, none in Moxilla colours.
    I was unaware of this as all bookmarks are shown correctly to left of desktop.

    There are three basic options
    #You can backup the bookmarks in a form that Firefox can use. And these include any tags with them.<br />See [[Restore bookmarks from backup or move them to another computer]]
    #Firefox stores History in the same database: '''places.sqlite'' the whole of that or even the whole of the profile may be backed up if necessary. <br /> See [[Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles]]
    #You may back them up by '''export / import''' as HTML. These are the same sort of files as is used for IE favourites / favorites. (These will append or tack on to existing bookmark collections) <br />See [[Export Firefox bookmarks to an HTML file to back up or transfer bookmarks]]
    CARE if you restore bookmarks from a backup it overwrites your existing bookmarks so always back them up manually before doing any restore.
    Firefox creates its own library of bookmarks. It is possible to add HTML files from IE to these. You will not be able to make sense of Firefox's .json or .sqlite files other than by allowing them to be used within Firefox. The HTML files may probably be opened directly by Firefox or some other programs such as Word Processors.

  • How can I save the order of photos in albums? Even though I have set as album order they revert back

    How can I save the order of photos in albums in Elements 11? Even though I have set as album order they revert back to original order.

    Could you confirm that when you re-open the sorted album, the display order on the top bar just over the browsing space is still in 'album' order ? That order may have been changed to a date order. For me, I get the order of the last album I opened, not necessarily the 'album' order of the present album.

  • I do not have the Firefox button the Getting started video refers to many times, I can't find a setting for it, how do I get it?

    The Firefox button referred to many times in the Getting started video for Firefox 4 (for Mac) does not appear on my window. I can't find a setting for it, how do I get it?

    The Firefox button is only on Linux and Windows. The Mac handles menus differently. In the Mac the menu bar is controlled by the operating system and is always present. In Windows and Linux, the Firefox button replaces the menu bar which is not possible on the Mac.

  • I have updated my ipod touch but i have to update iphone and ipad 1 and ipad2 . How can I save the udated software in order to avoid teh time for downloading it again each time

    I have updated my ipod touch but i have to update iphone and ipad 1 and ipad2 . How can I save the udated software in order to avoid teh time for downloading it again each time

    Even though the downloads are for the same iOS version number, they are different downloads and you can't use an iPod iOS update to update an iPhone or iPad etc. The iPad 1 and iPad 2 are also different downloads. So you will need to download different updates for your iPod Touch, iPhone, iPad 1 and the iPad 2.

  • Ical can´t save the event "event name" to the exchange server

    I have been trying to set up iCal to work with exchange in several Macs runnig Snow Leopard but there seems to be some time zone issue.
    When I try to save a new event, I get a error: iCal can't save the event "event name" to the exchange server. The account "account name" currently can't be modified, to discard...       If I change the city in time zone preferences to anything outside Mexico (for example Dallas Tx.) then everything works perfect, the problem is all of my users are in Mexico City aund using CST instead may cause other problems.
    I have tried with time zone support enabled and also disabled.
    Something very odd is that existing events can be modified or deleted, even with the city set to Mexico in time zone preferences.
    ¿Any suggestions?

    UPDATE 2: Found aother post that explains that this problem was fixed by enabling time zone support in iCal and then changing the city to the correct one by clicking in the upper right corner of iCal´s window where the time zone is displayed.  https://discussions.apple.com/message/10108361#10108361
    Well, I followed instructions mentioned above. By clicking on the upper right corner, a new window opens showing current iCal time zone settings (Not the same as Mac OS), in this window, time zone seems right (CDT), but as closest city, "UTC-UTC" is selected, so I change this to México and click OK, but the problem continues. If I go back to this iCal´s time zone window, "UTC-UTC" is still selected! and no mater how many times i change it back, after clicking OK, "UTC-UTC" comes back!.
    Something else I just found out is that if the city is changed to anything outside Mexico within the same time zone in system preferences, as I mentioned before I can save events, but now in the upper right corner of iCal, I have two different CDT´s, one named "CDT Central Time" (the one that works) and other named "CDT Central Standard Time" (the one that doesn't).
    My guess is that because daylight saving start and finish dates in Mexico are different from USA's, Apple created a different time zone with Mexico's rules (CDT CentralStandard Time) but something is wrong with it.

  • I canno't connect my iphone with a wire to my pc. How can I save the backup on my pc?

    Hello.

    Thank you for your help and support.     

    Your only option is iCloud, to back up to the PC using WiFi, your device has to be connected to the PC at least once using the USB cable, to set this up.

    Some of your user files (not system files) have incorrect permissions or are locked. This procedure will unlock those files and reset their ownership, permissions, and access controls to the default. If you've intentionally set special values for those attributes, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it, but you do need to follow the instructions below.
    Back up all data before proceeding.
    Step 1
    If you have more than one user, and the one in question is not an administrator, then go to Step 2.
    Enter the following command in the Terminal window in the same way as before (triple-click, copy, and paste):
    sudo find ~ $TMPDIR.. -exec chflags -h nouchg,nouappnd,noschg,nosappnd {} + -exec chown -h $UID {} + -exec chmod +rw {} + -exec chmod -h -N {} + -type d -exec chmod -h +x {} + 2>&-
    You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
    The command may take several minutes to run, depending on how many files you have. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear, then quit Terminal.
    Step 2 (optional)
    Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1, if you prefer not to take it, or if it doesn't solve the problem.
    Start up in Recovery mode. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
              Utilities ▹ Terminal
    from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open. In that window, type this:
    res
    Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
    resetpassword
    Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
    Select your startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
    Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
    Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button
    Select
               ▹ Restart
    from the menu bar.

  • Can I save the Bandwidth of Azure RemoteApp Client ?

    Can I save the Bandwidth of Azure RemoteApp Client ?
    I want to use Azure RemoteApp in MOBILE.
    MOBILE's bandwidth is under 1 Mbps like 256kbps, 128kbps.
    And Some mobile network have a total network usage limit like 3GB/Month, 1GB/3day.
    And More low price plan of mobile have more small limit like 2GB/Month, 1GB/Month.  
    The "Remote Desktop Connection" Application in windows destkop have "Exprience" Option for save bandwidth,
    like "Font smoothing", "Visual styles", etc.
    Regards,
    Yoshihiro Kawabata

    Hi Yoshihiro,
    There is no option in the Azure RemoteApp client to manually reduce bandwidth consumption.  What you could do is use a third-party bandwidth limiting program.  For example, when you are connected via mobile wireless you could set it to limit max
    bandwidth to 768Kbps, and when you are connected to non-metered connection set it to unlimited.
    In your template image you could use group policy settings to potentially reduce bandwidth usage to a limited degree, but these settings would affect all users.  Please take a look under Computer Configuration\ Administrative Templates\ Windows Components\
    Remote Desktop Services\ Remote Desktop Service Environment.  You should test each option in order to see if there is any benefit.
    Please note that some options will not have any effect.  For example, color depth will always be 32-bit, so there is no point in configuring it to limit to a lower value.
    Also you can force certain options using custom rdp properties on the collection using Azure PowerShell, however, the net effect on bandwidth consumption of these options is limited.  Again, this would apply to all users of the collection.
    In the pre-RDP 8.0 days there were certain options that could make a big difference under the right circumstances.  For instance, if you were only using a basic data-entry application you could set the color depth to 8-bit and connect at relatively
    low resolution such as 1024x768 or 800x600 and the bandwidth consumption would be very low.
    You can take certain manual steps to reduce bandwidth if you want.  Things like reduce the local resolution of your PC screen, only have single monitor, do not use any rich content in your session, do not use any audio, do not transfer files, etc.
    Thanks.

  • Can't Save the Illustration

    Can't save the illustration. The requested transformation would make some objects fall completely off the drawing area

    Thanks for the response but that still didn't work!! it has to be a setting or something in illustrator when dealing with large files, this is a PC not a MAC,  we were originally having problems saving files with the .eps ext to it with illustrator CS5, from other bloggers that responded to those post recommended to upgrade illustrator as CS5 is only 32 bit  and it we might be maxing our on the available ram for the program.this computer is built with a I7 Processor, 32 gb ram 500 gb WD raptor hard drive 10000 rmp, 90 gb samsung SSD (scratch disk)
    any other ideas that come to you please let me know
