I want all downloads cleared automatically, instantly -- no saved download history at all, ever.

I don't want any downloads stored at all, period. There used to be a config setting for this, but now it's gone. Why? There used to be a nice add-on; now it doesn't work. Even when I set the download config to "Limit number of days to keep downloads to "0" I keep finding a big list of junk in there. How can I make my brower work the way I want it to? I chose Firefox in the first place because I hate the way MS products assume they know what I want. Return control to users please.

  • Why is it when I want to download a song on itunes from a different computer it erases all of my other songs?

    Okay, so when I got my Iphone I went to go put music on it from my desktop. I finally got all of the music I wanted off of the desktop on to my Iphone. Then when I went to download a song that I had just bought from Itunes a little pop up came on the screen asking to erase my music that I had on my phone currently to download this one song. Well I had to so I could download the song onto my phone. So, after I had got the song downloaded I went back over to my desktop to redownload all of the other songs onto my phone. My question is, How are you supposed to download songs off of one computer with out erasing all of the other songs on your phone? I would really like to know because I want to download more songs onto my phone from my dad's desktop and I don't want to go through the hassle of having to redownload those of the songs all over again and risk losing all of the songs I will possibly have on my phone later.

    Thank you now how do I get the songs on to the flash drive?
    Insert the flash drive into the other computer, and open it so it looks like a window.  Highlight the songs you want in his iTunes, and drag them into that window.
    That will cause them to copy onto the flash drive, and will not affect his library.
    If you normally run iTunes in full-screen mode, make it smaller so that you can do the drag.
    Then insert the flash drive into your computer.  Find your Automatically Add to iTunes folder (it is inside the iTunes media folder) and drag the songs into it.

  • HT204406 i want to download all the songs from itunes match back to my pc.  there are well over 2000 songs. instead of downloading one by one, is there a way to download all of them while I sleap?

    I want to download all the songs from iTunes Match back to my PC (iTunes).  Instead of downloading one by one, can I have all the songs downloaded back to my iTunes by one shot (while I sleap)?

    I just found the answer by myself.  Instead of clicking Cloud icon one by one, highlight all the songs in Cloud (after sorting by Cloud status) and riight click, download.  Now I am getting all the songs back to my local machine.  I will sync my iOS devices tomorrow and just GET RID OF iTUNES MATCH.  To me, it was a disaster.  Worse than their map app.

  • I think my ipod touch is set to camera mode and I need to switch it back. When I hoook it up to my computer it thinks I am hooking up a camera and wants to download pics. It used to read it as an ipod and automatically synch. Now it doesn't do that. HELP

    When I first got my ipod, I would hook it up to my computer and it would automatically synch with my itunes. But then I took some pictures with my ipod and downloaded the pics.  Now everytime I hook up my ipod to my computer, it reads it as a camera and asks if I want to download pics. It is driving me crazy. I haven't used my ipod as a camera since that one time, and I need to get it back to automatically synching when I hook it up.  It's like it is not being recognized as an ipod. Is there something I can do to get my ipod out of camera mode and back to ipod mode. Also, i got a speaker system to hook up my ipod to and it is not "picking up" the ipod when I hook it up. the music will not come out of the speakers and I think again it is an issue of my ipod being in "camera" mode. HELP!!!

    As mentioned in your other post, disable the camera notification, shown here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1500
    But you'll have to be logged in with administrative rights, to change the settings.

  • HT201272 I purchased some music on my iPod touch and want to download them to my iPad mini also but I can't get the purchased section to load at all anyone else had this problem?

    Ok so I have an iPod touch 4th gen and I purchased some music on it. I also have an iPad mini and wanted to download it onto there also. Problem is that no matter how many times I try I can't get my purchased music section to load. I get the big at the top where you can select all or not on this iPad and the alphabet down the left hand side and the little loading thingy appears but nothing ever actually loads no matter how long I wait. It also sometimes just crashes the whole thing and kicks me out the app. Any suggestions? I've tried turning device on and off, it has the latest software iOS 7 and I've tried resetting all the settings already also as well as logging in and out of my Apple ID.

  • After creating a new playlist in iTunes, how can I add my entire music library --at once-- to the new playlist. I want to download all my music from Icloud at once on my Macpro

    After creating a new playlist in iTunes, how can I add my entire music library --at once-- to the new playlist. I want to download all my music from Icloud at once on my Macpro

    You have two separate questions here...
    To get all your music into one playlist, select Music in the sidebar and click the Songs view at the top. Then, highlight all the songs and drag them into your playlist.
    I don't know if it's possible to download all Purchased content (or do you mean iTunes Match content?) at once; try a few Google searches.

    My iPod touch shows up as a apple iPod camera but if i dont want to download the pics and press cancel it all dissappears. my ipod has been lost for 3 months and has not got the latest upgrade.

    Try:

    or
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
    Otherwise wee need more informatin.

  • Just bought a nano and want to download some of my iTunes library. The "Music" button shows almost all my selections but some albums are missing, yet thos albums appear on the nano icon on my desktop but none of the others. What's happening?

    Just bought a nano and want to download some of my iTunes library. The "Music" button shows almost all my selections but some albums are missing, yet ONLY those albums appear on the nano icon on my desktop after being dragged there but none of the others. What's happening?
    I've read some of the post here that I thought might help but they refer to titles (Music) and triangles in the "Devices" window which are nowhere to be seen when I open the "Devices" window.
    I have iTunes 11.0.3 and Mac OS 10.6.8. Does this make a difference?

    I should mention that, for the first problem, I do make sure that my new tracks are stored in the folder where I told iTunes that my music is in. Also, when I say the cataloging of my library stops short of cataloging all my songs, I have tried leaving the computer unattended for days (my computer's sleep mode is disabled). It always stops before cataloging all of my music regardless of whether I am doing something else while iTunes is cataloging, or if I just let iTunes be the only program that's open during the cataloging process.

  • I have an iPod nano 2nd generation and I want to download the songs I have on it to my new computer, as my old one crashed with all the songs on it.  I also got a new iPod and would like to transfer the old songs onto it. How do I do this?

    Ok so sorry for clogging the community!! I figured it out - you have to copy your videos into itunes manually. I did that, synched and all good!

  • I keep getting the message: "what should firefox do with this file" in Windows XP every time I want to download a file, e.g., adobe, excel, etc. How can this annoying message be deleted? The check box to "open file automatically" does not work!

    cor-el,
    Thanks for your prompt reply. However, the sources you gave do not seem to apply exactly to my situation. I have attached some screenshots that show what the dialogue box looks like for a pdf download, and what my settings in the Apps panel of Options are. You will note in the first screenshot that I have checked the box to handle this file type automatically; however, the next time I try to download a file of that type, the same dialogue box appears looking exactly like the one shown, so checking the "automatic" option appears to do nothing. The files to be downloaded from my Gmail messages are not generic or altered file types - they are shown as pdf, doc, docx, etc. So while your intent was good, your post did not help. Thanks anyway.

  • I want to download the new software on my ipod touch on a different computer to what i normally use, but it keeps telling me i will loose all my downloads. Is it possible to make this computer the main computer to sync my ipod?

    I want to download the new software on my ipod touch, on a different computer to what i usually sync my ipod to, and it keeps telling me i will lose all my downloads. i it possible to download the update on this computre, without deleting my information, and making this computer the main computer to sync my ipod to?

    A manual backup will help in your situation.
    Make sure your new computer is authorized in iTunes. Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your iPod, right click on it in the device list and choose backup.
    This will save data, pictures and settings to itunes. See what's included in this backup here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4946
    Transfer your purchases the same way to copy all apps and bought media from the Store to your computer.
    Set up at least one contact and event on your computer to be able the merge your calendars and contacts after your iPod got wiped during the first sync.
    The rest of the data can be restored from the backup you made.

    Music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in iTunes and transferred your purchases.
    There is 3rd party software out there, but not supported by Apple, see this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0
    Apps can be downloaded again for free, in some countries music as well: Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

  • In the latest Firefox where "browser.download.panel.removeFinishedDownloads" no longer exists, how does one automatically clear only the download history

    In light of the latest Firefox and the fact that it does not listen to my download retention setting and that "browser.download.panel.removeFinishedDownloads" no longer exists, how do I clear the download history automatically after each download without clearing browser history too? If this is not an option then it is either a serious bug or an important feature removed. If this continues, this is a big reason for me to discontinue using firefox. Really guys! Why?!

    then that is really awful. why was this done? maybe it is time to change browsers if this is not corrected soon. yes, corrected, as I see this as a major bug.
    thank you for your help though.
    Oh, wait, the downloads I keep seeing are not located in any particular folder but scattered across my computer in different folders I manually save them to. Would this make any difference? In any event, I can still see the download history, and I so much prefer the old way.

  • I have the newest IPad and want to download photos from my computer to the IPad.  The instructions say to put photos under My Pictures, but I have thousands of photos in that category.  I don't want to download all my photos, just the newest ones.  Help!

    I have the newest IPad and want to download photos from my computer.  However, I have thousands of photos stored under My Pictures on my desktop.  How can I transfer just the newest album to my IPad?  I'm afraid that all the photos will be downloaded.  Please advise.

    Another way. You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
    Plug the USB flash drive into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
    Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)
