I've set Mozilla to ask where before downloading a file, but it keeps going directly to the downloads folder

I recently upgraded from a 32bit XP Pro Windows machine to a 64bit 7 Pro Windows machine. In XP, Mozilla was set to ask where to save something before downloading and it always worked. Windows 7 Pro Mozilla is also set to ask where before downloading something, but it never asks. It just goes right to the download folder. Once something's in the download folder I can't even move the item from there to somewhere else. Do I need a special add-on or something for Win 7 Pro?

You can check for problems with preferences.
Rename or delete the prefs.js file and possible numbered prefs-##.js and user.js files to reset all prefs to the default value.

    Open the Preferences panel (Edit menu on Windows, Dreamweaver menu on a Mac), and select the Site category. There are two checkboxes there for dependent files. Make sure both are selected. The Dreamweaver default is NOT to upload/download dependent files. You need to click Yes, if you want the dependent files to be included.

    I have set up iTunes Match on only 3 devices (my Windows 7 desktop and 2 iPhones) and am now trying to authorise my new Windows 8 (Toshiba) laptop but I keep failing to authorise the laptop using my one-and-only Apple ID. Does anyone have advice to solve this problem?!

    Hi all.  I can’t tell you how to solve your iCloud 3.x issues.  Heck, I don’t think they’re even solvable.
    But if you had a previous version of iCloud that was working correctly then I can definitely tell you how to solve the “iCloud Photo Stream is not syncing correctly to my Windows 7 PC” problem.  …without even a re-boot.
    Log out of iCloud 3.0 and uninstall it.
    Open My Computer and then open your C:\ drive.  Go to Tools/Folder Options and click on the View tab.  Select the “Show hidden…” radio button and click on OK.
    Open the Users folder.
    Open your user folder
    Open ProgramData (previously hidden folder)
    Open the Apple folder – not the Apple Computer folder.
    Open the Installer Cache folder
    In Details view sort on Name
    Open the folder for the newest entry for iCloud Control Panel 2.x – probably 2.1.2.8 dated 4/25/2013
    Right click on iCloud64.msi and select Install.
    When finished, the synching between iCloud and your PC will be back to working perfectly as before the 3.0 fiasco.  The pictures will be synched to the same Photostream folder as before the “upgrade”.  Now all you need to do is wait until Apple/Microsoft get this thing fixed and working before you try the 3.x upgrade again.
    I think the iCloud 3.0 software was written by the same folks who wrote healthcare.gov with the main difference being that healthcare.gov might eventually be made to work.
    For those of you who hate to go backwards, think of it as attacking to the rear.  Which would you rather have, the frustration of no synching or everything working on an older version?
    Good luck…

  • Lately I've been getting Google searches redirected instead of going directly to the website that's supposedly linked through Google. In addition, I occasionally get a new tab opened in Firefox that asks me if I want to take a questionnaire.

    Do a malware check with some malware scanning programs on the Windows computer.<br />
    You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware.<br />
    Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.<br /><br />

    iMessage stopped working on iOS 5.1.1 after I set up a new Apple ID.  After logging in, it keeps cycling back to the "create ID" screen.  Apple's verified my new ID. I've reset the iPod (3) times--no luck.

    I solved my problem by Resetting my iPod and then Restoring my files.  Only speed bump was losing two apps in the Restore, as the current versions now require iOS 7.1, minimum.  Apple makes Reset and Restore (two processes) painless with these Help articles:  "Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings," and "Back up and restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch using iCloud or iTunes."  The Restore took a while to synch my photos and iTunes libraries.

    I have my camera (Canon 5D Mark 2) set to take both JPEG Large and Raw files with each shot. I uploaded the images from the card to my Pro (Aperture 3) and while the import info said 1500 images were uploaded, I can't find the RAW images.  Aperture put about 700 images in an untitled project folder, but all the images are the JPEGs.  What am I missing?
    Thanks,
    upsjdris

    Have you checked your "Import" settings for "Raw&Jpeg" pairs in the "Import" panel?
    You can set Aperture to import raw, jpeg, or raw&jpeg.
    If you imported Raw&Jpeg, but have set Aperture to use the Jpeg as original, you will see the imported image as Jpeg image, not as a raw image, even if the raw has also been imported. You can switch between Raw and Jpeg originals for selected images from the Photos menu:
    Photos > Use Raw as original.

  • Where did my synced files go? I synced them on the tablet, now I want to get them on my PC

    Where did my synced files go? I synced them on the tablet, now I want to get them on my PC
    How do I access them?

    Via Creative Cloud.
    One caveat: If you want to work with PS Touch's native file format (which is PSDX), you'll have to have Photoshop CC (or CS) and the PSDX plug-in.
    Another option would be to export any projects as the PSD file format and open those in Photoshop or Photoshop Elements. If you import these back into PS Touch, note that PSD files will be automatically flattened.

  • HT4623 i have a new email and password set up on i tones but it not coming on my phone it keeps going back to the old email i dont use it any more

    my new email and new password is set up on i tones and not on my iphone 4 but under settins show my new email but my updates wont allow me to update it keeps going back to the old email and i dont use it any more

    Did you change the email associated with your Apple ID or create a new Apple ID?
    The former simply requires signing out of the iTunes store and back in with the new credentials.
    The later is a waste of time as content acquired via iTunes is permanently tied to the Apple ID it was acquired with.

  • "If you get this error while viewing a webpage, it means a plugin has crashed. You can send a crash report to Mozilla by clicking on Send crash report. " but why do I not get the button "Send crash report"?

    This is the most recent upgrade to my Firefox version 3.6.8
    Mozilla Firefox for Ubuntu canonical - 1.0
    Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.2.8) Gecko/20100723 Ubuntu/10.04 (lucid) Firefox/3.6.8
    Since then, every web page that makes use of the Adobe Flash plugin shows me grey windows with the message "Adobe Flash plugin has crashed".
    When I follow links telling me I can find out more I am taken to a Firefox Help page that shows an example of the same grey window with the same message. But there is a difference: directly under the "Adobe Flash plugin has crashed" message is shown a another message that says: "Send crash report". The Help page instructs me to click on that message because it is intended to be a link.
    Unfortunately, on all the grey windows displayed to me on any site where this problem arises, no such message: "Send crash report" is present. So how can I send a crash report?!

    You have the Ubuntu-specific build of Firefox - released as a package in the Ubuntu repository - and that has been built without including the ''crash reporter''.
    (So-called 'contributed builds' usually lack the updater - in the help menu - too, because they have their own updater.)

  • My iCloud account name was inputted incorrectly when my iPhone was set up. I made a new iCloud account but my phone still automatically loads the old and unusable iCloud account. How can I update my phone to load the new and correct account?

    My iCloud account name was inputted incorrectly during initial phone set up. I created another iCloud account name but it is still the old and wrong iCloud account that automatically loads whenever I access the iCloud tab on my phone. How do I replace it my new and correct account name?

    She won't after the change.
    Note you can use the same Apple ID in
    Settings > iTunes & App Store > Apple ID: > here to share purchased music, apps and books.
    Other than that each of you should use your own Apple ID for iMessage, FaceTime, iCloud, Game Center, etc.

  • I am trying to set up a new iTunes account on my PC, but it keeps telling me I'm not old enough. I'm 35 years old! Any suggestions?

    I am trying to set up a new itunes account on my PC and whe I fill out all the information and hit submit, it says that I'm not old enough to have an account.  I've tried it with difference birth years, but still get the same response.  Any suggestions?

    The SMTP settings are separate from the POP or IMAP settings within Mail.app (which can be a little confusing), and the SMTP settings are incorrect.  That could be some combination of the username or password, the SMTP server name, the TCP port, whether or not SSL is in use or not.  It's more common to have SSL enabled.  All have to be correct.  The required SMTP server settings do vary by mail provider, unfortunately.  You can use Connection Doctor to get more details on the particular error; Window > Connection Doctor, then open the drawer for a look at additional details.  If you're not able to resolve the error from that output and from the mail provider's available documentation, and establish the connection, please scrub any personal details from the detailed diagnostics, and post that output here.

  • I've set the download settings to always ask where to save a file, and it will do that for some file extensions, but not for others. How can I fix this?

    I've noticed it especially with .pdf files, which always end up on my desktop, even after I double check the download settings under Preferences and then restart Firefox, just in case. Also, when I download .pdf files they will automatically open, but when I download .doc files they do not. I would rather not have downloaded files automatically open, but I can't find how to change that setting either.
