I want to open files from a link but I don't want to save it

Hello,
I use firefox mostly as a browser and everytime I click on a link on the web to open a file that file opens but it also goes to my download folder.
The dialog box opens and asks do I want to save or open and even when I put open it saves to my download folder.
Anyone know how to fix this. My download folder is overflowing.
Blaine

Downlaods folder is a temporary internet files folder pretty much. you could just clean it out every once in a while. if you download google chrome you can just open it with google chrome. i dont think that thats an option with firefox but i could be wrong.
Hope i helped!

I plan on buying a new I Pad wit wifi and cell from Apple. But I don't want to select a cell carrier right now. Q 1: Do I have to select a carrier at purchase? and Q 2, In the meantime will I be able to get on line at home using my Cox Internet wi fi? Thanks.

Thanks for the help. Now I can feel comfortable in not having to sign up for cellular when I buy, esp. Since I'll be using my new IPad mostly at home on my Cox wi fi. Then I can see, in using the i pad, how often I'd actually use the cellular, and where. This can help decide which type of cell plan I get. Small problem it may seem, but a very helpful answer. Thanks.

HT1296 I have lots of apps that I don't necessarily want on my iphone all the time, but I don't want to delete them from my itunes account permanently. Is there a way to add apps manually?

Is there a way to manually manage apps? I have lots of apps that I don't want on my iphone all the time, but I don't want to delete them from my itunes account permanently.

Deleting apps on your phone does not remove them from your account. They can be re-downloaded for free from the App Store, or synced from your computer as needed.
The easiest way to manage apps is to connect to iTunes on your computer, go to the Apps page of your device in iTunes, select which apps to remove, then sync.

HT5361 I want to delete my Verizon email account but I don't want to lose all of the messages I saved over the years into various mailboxes that I created "On My Mac" in Apple Mail. Will they be erased / deleted when I delete the account?

I want to delete my Verizon email account but I don't want to lose all of the messages I saved over the years into various mailboxes that I created "On My Mac" in Apple Mail. Will they be erased / deleted when I delete the account?

Yes, it's a POP account. I kinda thought that the old messages would be safe in mailboxes "On My Mac," but since it's an irrevocable choice, I was reluctant to pull the trigger. However, the suggestion above from keg55 relieves my concerns on that score; I'll make a backup copy before I delete the account just to be on the safe side.
Thanks very much to both WZZZ and keg55, I really appreciate it!

I want to download a game rated 12 but I don't want my children to use it, how can I do this?

I want to download a game rated 12+ but I don't want my children to use it, how can I do this?
Is there a way to hide or lock a game to prevent them accessing it?
thanks in advance

There is nothing you can do...there are no apps like that unless you jailbreak your iPad.
Hope this helps you.

Answered in your other thread. Please don't post in more than one place, it can lead to people wasting their time answering a question which has already been answered.

I want to deploy an application using firefox but I don't want it set as default browser. I am using mozilla.cfg to lockdown firefox.

I am deploying an application using firefox. I am using the mozilla.cfg file to lockdown firefox and I don't want firefox to be the default browser.

Try the option to "Force Firefox to make itself the default" as shown in this article - http://kb.mozillazine.org/Default_browser
Another possibility is your email application may be hard-coded to use IE.

I want to remove some photos from my iPad--but I don't want to remove them from my Mac. How do I remove photos using the iPad itself?

I want to remove a few photos from my iPad, but not from my Mac (from-to which I sync). Is this possible? I can get the "delete" button to show on the iPad, but it is not fully lit--i.e. pressing it does no good.

You can delete photos that you took on the pad, and photos that you imported from the camera connection kit right on the pad. That delete button will work on those.
Photos that you synced from the mac get deleted by resyncing. When you connect the pad, push the photos tab, uncheck sync all, and then select only the photos you want on the pad. The mac acts like the master storage unit, and all the photos will stay there (unless you delete them in i photo) and copies are placed onto the pad.
Photos you take on the pad, by the way, dont get moved to the mac during a sync, you need to import them to iphoto. While the pad is connected, open up i photo, and the pad will show up as a device on the left side. You can select which pad photos you want to import. Those photos are now part of the master copy on the mac, and can be synced back to the pad, or not, as you decide.

How to open files from web links in safari

II can't figure out to get a file downloaded from a web link into numbers, pages, etc.

Matt-
I think the App that uses the files must have its own web access to be able to download. Perhaps another App that has web download capability can act as an intermediary using the "Open In" option.
One candidate might be GoodReader. It has some web download and file transfer capability, and does have the Open In option. However, it apparently must be able to read a file before you can get to the Open In option.
Another approach is to use iTunes on your computer. With the iPad connected to the computer, run iTunes and select the iPad under DEVICES. Click on Apps at the top of the window and scroll down to File Transfer. If an App appears there, data files can be synced to it by selecting it and dropping the files in a folder in the right hand window.

You may have an email file that cannot be played by QT. But then you did not provide the exact wording of the error message.
QT cannot open all types of files. You might try installing the QT plug-in Perian 1.2.3 that will enable QT to play many more types of files.
What exactly is the type of file you have that you cannot open with QT? You can try using a third-party player such as VLC Media Player 2.0.1 or MPlayerX 1.0.14.

I really want a free app from the UK but I don't live there. How can I get it?

Look, I'm from the US and I found an app that is only available in the UK and I would really like it. Is it possible I can get the app? Its a free app apple. Really.

Hi...
It's not a matter of the app being free. The issue is that your credit or debit card account must be associated withe the same country where you reside. Even if you don't have a credit or debit card on file with Apple, you can only purchase iTunes media from your own country.
"Although you can browse the iTunes Store in any country without being signed in, you can only purchase content from the iTunes Store for your own country. This is enforced via the billing address associated with your credit card or other payment method that you use with the iTunes Store, rather than your actual geographic location.

I have Logic Studio 9.0 media set but need to install onto new Mountain Lion iMac. Migrating from older OS will allow free upgrade from App store but I don't want to migrate due to other issues. How can I install this?

We have a valid serial number and the original 9.0 media set. When I tried migrating the App Store updated it free of charge. However I don't know how to get Logic on without migrating as it point blank refuses when I insert the install disk.
Thanks.

Hi
Something is not quite right here:
I have the original Studio 2 disks here, and the installer runs fine under OSX.8.3. It will install Logic Pro 9.0.0, which can then be updated by downloading the 9.1.7 or 9.1.8 updater from Apple Downloads.
On your system, the installer refuses to run, or does the install proceed, but you are unable to update Logic so that it will work on Mountain Lion?

I used my friends itunes account to get some of her music, but now I want to delete some from my phome, but I don't know how, and I can only delete songs from itunes but all the songs are on her's so I can't. What do I do?!!!?

Please help me with this!?

That is what you get when you pirate music.
You are probably going to have reset your iPhone to factory default which wipe out evrything. After that restore from the backup on your computer.
