I want Firefox to give me the option to download a file with a .mm extension rather than opening it as if it were an xml file

I have created a web page that provides links to files with the .mm extension. These files are created by the Freemind application (http://freemind.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/Main_Page). When I click one of these links, Firefox opens the file as if it were a text (xml) file. I have looked at the Applications page in Preferences, but there is no obvious way to add a new application and then specify that Firefox should "Always ask" what I want to do. Essentailly, how do I do that?

Hi jhayles,
Have you looked checked in ''Tools > Options > Applications'' to see if you have told Firefox to always save the file? You should take a look at the [[Options window - Applications panel]] Knowledge Base article for details.
If you set Firefox to always ask and it doesn't, you may want to check out the [[Preferences are not saved]] article.
Hopefully this helps!

Boot camp does not give me the option to make a partition, instead it just gives me the options to download windows support software, install windows 7, etc. I do not want any of these, I want to set aside the space on my hard drive!

Hello, I wish to install Linux Ubuntu on my macbook pro by using boot camp to set aside space. Whenever I load the Boot Camp Assistant application out of the utilities folder in applications, it only gives me the options to download windows support software and install windows 7. I do not want this, I just want to be able to slide that little bar to set aside the space on my hard drive that i can use for Linux. I tried just downloading the windows support software but my internet is immensely slow and it has been an hour or so since it started and it's not even half way done. When this download is finished will i get the option to partition or will i just be faced with those same options?
I am on a 13" macbook pro, with apple OS X snow leopard version 10.7.2
A lot of the data on this macbook was transferred over from my old macbook i had.
Any ideas on how to fix this problem?
Thank you for reading.

Well thank you for your honesty. Apple requires you have to have a Mac to develop iPhone apps, ergo my foray into OS-Xland. No way around it that one except for running OSX in a VM, which would have probably saved me some quid, true enough.
BUT for those interested parties: VirtualBox has a startup script in /Library/StartupItems/VirtualBox that will prevent OSX from fully booting on the initial (and required) rEFIt boot cycle. Once I temporarily moved that out of the StartupItems rEFIt went in as expected.
FYI, the openSUSE desktop running native is a little peppier than OSX native which was a nice surprise. Now if the Mac just had more open source software we would have a deal. (:

On my Mac Pro, when I send emails, it always gives me the option of adding an attachment with a paper clip. Today, the paperclip has vanished. What do I do ?

I am in the same boat. I tried repeatedly to contact iTunes support, but was told each time that I had contacted the wrong deaprtment and they could not help me. There must be a way to still be able to use the iTunes store without paying for a system update. If not, I hope they will reimburse me the money I have in my acount.

Where are you looking to download them from ? You might be able to redownload them via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage on your Mac's iTunes. If that album shows there but doesn't have the cloud symbol against it for redownloading then that implies that it's still in your iTunes library

Depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then try deleting that track from your iTunes library and redownload it via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes.
If you aren't in a country where you can re-download music or if it re-downloads in the same state then try the 'report a problem' page to contact iTunes Support : http://reportaproblem.apple.com

You can hold down on the open PDF and get the option to Open In - in the resulting pop up window.

Dreamweaver CC 2014 still wants to open jpg, png, gif files with uninstalled Photoshop CC rather than installed Photoshop CC 2014

Anyone know a fix. It seems that it wants to look for photoshop.exe and still wants to look for the uninstalled Photoshop CC folder.
1. Yes, I have set the Preferences in Dreamweaver to point to Photoshop CC 2014 as the Primary.
2. I'm on Windows 7.
I also had to do this fix to get PSD, IND, AI and EPS files to open in their respective programs: Photoshop: CS6 not default program for jpg and/or jpeg in Windows 7 Professional 64-bit
Ugh, Adobe and their updates.
Thanks!@

How do I download an app I previously had on an older device, not utilizing my cloud or itunes backup. I want to download the app as if it were the first time. Right now it's only giving me the option to download from the cloud when I go to the app store.

How do I download an app I previously had on an older device, not utilizing my cloud or itunes backup. I want to download the app as new as if I had never had it before. When I go to the app store, it only gives me the option of downloading from the cloud with the cloud icon?

When you download something from the iCloud, it is a brand new licensed copy. Your iCloud account just contains a notation that you have this app. It isn't storing an actual copy of the app from your Mac.

TS1424 I downloaded an album, but most of the songs are incomplete. The itunes list shows the appropriate song length, but the actual songs are not completely downloaded - meaning it does not give me the option of finishing the download.

I purchased a complete album, but most songs are only about a minute in duration rather than their actual lengths. The times showing indicate the full song was downloaded, but in reality, its like listening to a sample. I want to get entire songs, but the itunes list shows it as downloaded, so it does not seem to give me the option to download again. I sure would like to get what I paid for. Any suggestions?

If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the dodgy tracks and try redownloading fresh copies. For instructions, see the following document:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.

When I try to download a program, the pop-up only gives me the option to "save" the program, instead of giving me the option to "run" the program. How do I fix this?

I have tried downloading iTunes (and Quicktime), but instead of giving me the option to "run" the program, Firefox only gives me the option to "save" the program (which I already tried, does not work to give me access to the downloaded program). Is there a setting I need to change?

That's intentional, because running exe files from your browser is a major security concern. You can run the file after you have downloaded it. If you don't know where it is on your computer, go to '''Tools > Downloads''', and double-click on it from the Downloads window.
