I just want the option to "save as" when downloading a file so I can choose where to save it. Right now, I go back to my Internet Explorer to do this.

I changed my setting to "always ask where to save files" and I went into my profile folder and deleted my preference folder.

Did you check the download settings?

  • I cannot choose 'open' when downloading a file. I can only choose to save it on my computer. What am I to do?

    When I want to download a file, I can only choose to save it on my computer and I don't want to do that all the time. How do I fix this problem?

  • Sleep timer longer has the option to shut off "when current episode ends". How can I fix this?

    is anyone else having an issue with their sleep timer?

    Hey there Smargaretbaker,
    It sounds like you are not seeing the Sleep Timer setting in the lower right corner of your currently playing Podcast screen, as illustrated here:

    When you tap any podcast episode, you will see playback controls that look like this:
    I would start by quitting all the running apps on the iPhone first:

    Double-click the Home button.
    Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
    Swipe the app up to close it.
    When you have done that and restart the device and test the Podcasts app again:
    Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset

  • I want to take the photos off my iPhone and put them directly onto an external hard disk. I want to bypass iPhoto altogether. When I link my iPhone to my computer, it only opens in iTunes, which only gives me the option to save my photos to iPhoto. Help!

    I want to take the photos off my iPhone and put them directly onto an external hard disk - I don't have any room left on my computer. I want to bypass iPhoto altogether. When I link my iPhone to my computer, it only opens in iTunes, which only gives me the option to save my photos to iPhoto. Help!  This is seriously frustrating!.
    Additionally, I'd like to be able to take the 2000+ photos out of iPhoto and put them on a disk in a folder. I have managed to export them to the hard disk but it's just plonked all 2000+ photos in a list - not ideal if I want to use it for anything else. And then I have to manually delete the photos from iPhoto. Is there not a quick and easy way of dealing with this? 
    Anyone got any bright ideas? Thanks for your help!

    I too would like to be able to do this. Just put them where i want the. IFTT a scripting app will put the images in dropbox for you , but its been pretty iffy.

  • I use an external hard drive as a Time Machine back up, but I want to use another external hard drive to save movies, photos on it, but it won't give me the option to save anything on the new external hard drive. Nothing is wrong with the external hard.

    Hi Clarkett99,
    To use an external hard drive for your iTunes library, see the steps in this article -

    iPhoto can be used in a similar way, follow the steps in this previous discussion -

  • HT6114 thanks a bunch Apple..why not give me the option to save the Mavericks installation file instead of automatically deleting it

    I live out in the country and have slow broadband. The download took a few minutes short of 12 hours. I have 3 Macs to upgrade to Mavericks and read that I could copy the installation file to an external drive and use that to upgrade the others.
    Before the first installation, I checked the Downloads folder for the file but couldn't see it. I though ok, I'll run the install and look for it afterwards. Still couldn't find it afterwards so have googled and found that the installation file is deleted automatically after the installation. Bloody brilliant. I now have another 12 hour download to run.

    My main complaint still stands...why not give us the option to save the installation file before it is deleted. Not user friendly.
    If Apple were to bring up a dialog explaining all the consequences of running the installer and asking for your confirmation of each one, that would be frustrating and confusing. Most people have one Mac, they install the OS and it is not needed again. It just takes up space. If you want to create an installer disk, there are instructions for doing so.
    Congratulations. You have learnt how the installer works through your own experience!  All it cost you was your time. Not all experience is so easily gained.

  • How do I allow my users to set the option to save a new timezone for future sessions?

    The option to save a newly selected timezone for future sessions has been greyed-out
    in the Calendar Client. How can I allow my users to choose this option?
    <P>
    This is controlled by the settimezone setting on the Calendar Server. By
    default, it is set to FALSE. You can change the value to TRUE in the
    unison.ini settings. The
    Calendar Server must be restarted for the change to take effect.

    Hi,
    Based my research, OOB SharePoint don’t allow anonymous users to contribute contents(Edit, Upload and Add) into list and library.
    This is by design behavior, and it’s a consideration about security in order to help protect your site from potential script injection attacks.
    For anonymous users, only the View Item permission is available for libraries.
    If you want to know more about this, please refer to
    http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-sharepoint-services-help/enable-anonymous-access-HA010113018.aspx
    Hope this helps

  • Not given the option to save files hosted on Sharepoint 2010 site.

    We have a problem with opening forms on our intranet site.
    We have hosted some forms which staff will search for in order to fill them in, only the experience is being jilted somewhat by what seems to be a simple issue. When opening a document for reference, you are given the option to Save the file. On a document
    which is actually a form, we aren't presented with the opportunity to initially save it. Instead, the banner only asks if you want to Open the download, which then opens in the Word 2010 Web App. The problem is, this initially is not an editable file, which
    causes confusion for the end users.
    I wanted to share a screenshot of the banner bar but have not yet had this account verified, I will see to that now.
    Can anyone advise how this can be altered on the back end so we have the "Save" function offered up as well?
    Kind regards,
    Craig M.

    Hi Craig, your post is a little confusing. Could you provide a step by step of opening the document/form? Let us know what happens exactly at each stage. Without that information, my best guess is you need to go into the library settings and make sure
    it's set to open documents in client application.

    == This happened ==

    Here is the answer: Not an add on or plug-in! In fact you can get rid of all those useless plugins and add-ons! Go and get it. Im using the Alpha version right now and it works great. Works better then anything else .......add multiple links for all files sit back and relax. Its all done for you with no more intervention on your part! Check it out!
    http://wordrider.net/freerapid/
    Only one downside to this. No proper installer. You will have to copy the files to your respective programs folder.
    C:\Program Files\FreeRapid or C:\Program Files (x86)\FreeRapid
    Then create shortcuts to your desktop from FRD app. Thats it then start downloading!
    By the way this not an add. I just spent the whole night looking for the solution to this problem because I was so frustrated with the whole thing. I download tons of files and I have lots of other projects going and I dont have time for all this nonsense with RapidShare and Firefox. Hope this helps some other poor souls out there!

  • When I close FF 3.6.22 I am not given the option to save multiple tabs.

    I run FF both at home and at work. I am still running 3.6.2x in both places because I've not been happy with the later versions. At work this morning, FF restarted and updated to 3.6.22. When I went to close FF at the end of the day, with my usual 5 tabs open, I was not given the option to save my tabs. This is one of the main reasons that I uninstalled 4, and have not installed anything else. This is an extremely important feature for me and I would like to know how to recover this ability.

    See item #31 [http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox-problems.htm#tabslost Restoring tabs from a lost session] (#tabslost)
    in the following
    You can make '''Firefox 6.0.2''' look like Firefox 3.6.*, see numbered '''items 1-10''' in the following topic [http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox-problems.htm#fx4interface Fix Firefox 4.0 toolbar user interface, problems (Make Firefox 4.0 thru 8.0, look like 3.6)]. ''Whether or not you make changes, you should be aware of what has changed and what you have to do to use changed or missing features.''

    There is a lot more beyond those first 10 steps listed, if you want to make Firefox more functional.

  • WIB: Eliminate the option to save after a function was ended with an error

    Hi Xperts,
    is there any possibility in the Web Interface Builder to eliminate the option to save after a function was ended with an error-message?
    Appreciate any help.

    The Firefox 4+ versions automatically save your session when you close Firefox. If you want to restore your previous session the next time you open Firefox, use the Restore Previous Session button on the default about:home homepage or in the History menu.

  • I'm just trying to update from 3.5.8 to the latest version. Started on the website and it downloaded a desktop image only, no application. Then tried on Firefox to update under "Help". It's been spinning for an hour! Help. I just want the latest version

    If there are problems with updating or with the permissions then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
    Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the disk image (dmg) file to the desktop
    *Firefox 9.0.x: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
    *Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
    *Install the new version that you have downloaded
    Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data if you uninstall and (re)install Firefox.

  • When closing firefox 4.0 with multiple tabs open, i wish to save this setup when i reopen firefox. the option to save my setup is now not in the prompt. only that i'm closing multiple tabs. how do i do this?

    in the older version of firefox, you were prompted when you were closing multiple tabs. but you were also given the option of saving the current setup so that when you reopened firefox, this current setup would reopen also. how do i make this happen with firefox 4.0?since i updated to firefox 4.0, there is no obtion given to save my current setup.

    You can change Firefox preferences so that you also get the option to save the current tabs when quiting:<BR><BR>
    # Type '''about:config''' into the location bar and press enter
    # Accept the warning message about being careful and you will see a list of settings.
    # Type '''browser.showQuitWarning''' into the ''Filter'' box at the top.
    # If its value is ''false'', double-click on it to change it to ''true''.

  • I have all my music on my external hard drive when I try to add it to iTunes it is automatically added to my MacBook Pro's hard drive. How do I stop this from happening? I just want the music to stay on the external hard drive. Thanks!

    I have all my music on my external hard drive when I try to add it to iTunes it is automatically added to my MacBook Pro's hard drive. How do I stop this from happening? I just want the music to stay on the external hard drive. Thanks!

    This is true of course, but doesn't cover the situation where some files are in the iTunes Media folder and others are on an external drive. In my case I keep my music in the Media folder and all my films on an external drive (there are too many to have on the internal drive). In iTunes 11, and before, it was easy to add those external files by holding down the alt/opt key while dragging to the sidebar. In iTunes 12 this is no longer possible. There are several workarounds: use TuneSpan to move the file after it's been added; delete the file from the Media folder and empty the trash then use iTunes Get Info which will report the file is missing and allow you to locate it; constantly switch the Add to iTunes toggle on and off as required. All of these require a lot more work than just holding down the alt/opt key while adding.
    It constantly gets harder.
