I received a download that indicates I must save it before opening. How do I save it before opening?

I purchased a download file that must be saved to my imac before opening. Can't find out how to do this.

Is the sender a Windows user?
Here is a screenshot of my Mail Preferences; if you want to, you could easily change the destination of your downloads (as I have to desktop) - you don't have to, but can:
However, regardless of where the downloaded file goes - since it is just a file, a PDF, not a system update or an app, once it is downloaded, it is already on your computer. Just as a test, drag it out of the downloads folder onto your desktop - that would make absolutely positively certain that it is "saved".
If it is password locked, then that is the sender's choice - it usually means you can read it, but can't copy, add to, save, or do anything else with it except look at it. You can try one thing: while it is open in Preview, go to File menu > hold down Option key > choose Save as. Give it any name you want and choose to save it to desktop (so it's easy to find). See if that works; I've used that as a workaround for some financial statements I download but won't let me save either. If that works, just use that from now on and pick a location where you want to keep that file permanently.

Can I use gift cards to pay for songs just downloaded that were charged to credit card before entering card numbers?

I downloaded songs to my playlist before entering two gift card credit numbers. I thought I would have an opportunity to put them in before end of transaction. Can I undo the charge and use the $20 gift card total?

Probably not. You can go here:
http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/
and follow the instructions to report the issue to the iTunes Store and ask, but my guess is that they'll say that it's not possible to reverse the charge to your credit card and charge your now-present credit balance instead.
Regards.

"movie must be rendered before it can be encoded"

Hey all...
I'm trying to export to mpeg2 or otherwise to Quicktime so I can burn a dvd.
Now with the first I get the message that "this movie must be rendered before it can be encoded"
in QT conversion with mpeg2 selected. There are no red lines indicating a rendering need.
I didn't have this problem when I first exported but when I added a mp3 file it started
acting this way.
Can somebody please let me know what the heck i'm now doing wrong?
Thanks!
Ann

Red is only one type of render set. There are many others. Make sure full is checked on in Render All and then press Opt-R.
It would be good to know what versions of the software, QuickTime and OS you're using. MPEG-2 export is no longer available in FCP.
Compressed audio like MP3 should not be used in Final Cut.

My iPhone 4s says that my software version 5.0.1 is up to date. Why am I not receiving the notification that the new update is available for me to download?

I have an iPhone 4s, not jailbroken. I was able to update to 5.0.1 when it came out last year. When 5.1.1 came out, I noticed that I never received the
notification that a new update was available. I updated my 2 ipads and my wife's iphone 4. I didn't bother looking into it, since I didn't feel the need to update to 5.1.1. Now I want to update to ios 6, but when I go to Settings > General > Software Update. It checks for updates , but still shows me that my 5.0.1 is up to date. I plug into itunes and check for update there and it still indicates that 5.0.1. is up to date as well.
Does anyone know what this is happening and how I can update to ios 6?
Thanks for the input.

I receive a massage that a new version of ITunes was available (11.1.4). I proceeded to update, the download went ok but when installing the Message “Service ’Apple Mobile Device’ failed to start, verify that you have sufficient Privileges to start system Services”
On pressing retry I got the same message.
On pressing Ignore, I got the message “ITunes was not installed correctly, please reinstall ITunes – Error 7 – (windows error 126)
I reinstalled with the same error messages and the same results.
I uninstalled existing and reinstalled from scratch and the same error messages again.
I try to repair and at the end it said it had installed correctly – but when it tried to start I got the message “This application has failed to start because MSVCR80.dll was not found. Reinstalling the application may fix the problem” I now get the same message when I first start the computer but when I press ok I receive ““ITunes was not installed correctly; please reinstall ITunes – Error 7 – (windows error 126)” again.
It appears the update has not only corrupted the operating system (Xp Pro SP3) of my computer but I have no backups to my IPhone, my wife’s IPhone or the three others phones that use my computer.
I hope you can advise me how to recover my backups

It is the same installer. You can run it as 30-days trial (CC version) and decide later for CC or stand-alone. To license as stand-alone, follow this guide.
If you already have the LR6 license key, you can enter it during setup and do not need to follow the guide.

I received error message that 6 of my songs I purchased on a workout album could not be copied because the file could not be converted. How do I get these 6 songs to download on my ipod shuffle?

I received error message that 6 of my songs that I purchased on a workout album could not be copied because the file could not be converted.
How do I get these 6 songs downloaded to my ipod shuffle?

I can think of only one reason a song would be "converted" while it is being loaded on a shuffle.
Select the iPod in the iTunes sidebar, under DEVICES. Over to the right, depending on iPod model, go to the Summary or Settings tab. There should be a setting there that says Convert higher bit rate songs to 128 kbps AAC (the 128 kbps part may be adjustable). If that checkbox is checked, try unchecking it.
NOTE: This setting may allow more songs to fit on the shuffle, but for any converted song, the sound quality will become inferior. So I don't use it.

I wanted to know how to view the gifts I've sent to people and (if possible) know if they received and downloaded them. Is there any way to do that, other than asking the person? Obviously I want the gift to be a surprise (for my best friend specifically) so asking them if they received it would ruin that.

Have you tried resetting your iPod:
Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

I have received notification that the "Complete My Album", Music Speaks by Candice Glover is now available to download. I have three devices that are all enabled to receive automatic downloads. My problem is the same on all three devices.
Only 0.05 minutes download on each song with the exception of the original song purchase: I Am Beautiful. What needs to be done to solve this problem?

It seems that I have solved my issue by performing a full factory reset (erasing all content, something which I had hoped to avoid) restoring from an iCloud backup did not alleviate the issue, I had to set up as a new iPad.
Hopefully anyone else else who has this issue in the future will be able to find this.
