In the past, the downloaded file used to stay in the download window. all i had to do was click on it to open it. now, when the download is complete, the loaded file disappears from the download window. how do i get it to stay, as before?

i must have changed some parameter somewhere in my attempt to make my computer more secure. i'm not sure which parameteter needs to be reset.

You can not run executable files from the download dialog, this is a security measure.
If you want to bypass this security measure you can use the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/207/ OpenDownload] add-on. This add-on has not been updated for a couple of years, but somebody has made a newer version, also called [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/10902/ OpenDownload], but this version has not yet been reviewed by Mozilla.

    I guess she means pin to dock, unless it is a link to the store where you might buy staples, among other things.

  • Suddenly the settings app has disappeared from my iphone. How do I get it back?

    Suddenly the setings app has disappeared from my iphone. How do I get it back? I tried resetting the phone to factory settings but that did not help.

    It's not possible to delete it. Try resetting the home page layout. It has to have been moved to another page or a folder... oh, wait. you can't reset the home page layout without getting to it.
    Go to the search page (press the home button once when on the first screen or swipe right from the home screen and type settings. Provided you have not turned off application search results in spotlight settings, you should be able to get to it from there.

    Perhaps you are loading a template that has a text block already on it.
    You might try the blank template option and set that as your go to template in your preferences

  • HT1338 Safari has "disappeared" from my desktop. How do I get it back?

    Safari has disappeared from my desktop. How do I get it back?
    This is a family computer and no telling how it was deleted. Firefox is OK, but seems to be running slow with a few annoying pop-ups. I am a novice Mac-ophile.
    Suggestions?
    mh

    Go to the Apple Menu and use Software Update, enter your password and do what it says, check again to make sure it's clear.
    Next look in your Applications folder for Safari and drag it's icon to the Dock, and place Safari there, it will make a new "shortcut"
    If Safari is not working then
    Next see if you can download the Safari from here using Firefox and install it.
    https://www.apple.com/safari/
    If it says "can't install blah blah blah" then exit and trash the installer.
    Apple issues newer Safari versions via Software update and it takes some time to get it on the web side.
    But that's how you re-install Safari, however the Software update likely will fix your malware issue and provide a new Safari.
    If you need Safari right away there is a way to reinstall it and all of OS X at once, quite a chore.

    My iMessage app has disappeared from my iPhone.  How do I get it back?

    Good Afternoon Redclc,
    The Messages app is part of the iOS operating system on your iPhone, so it can't be deleted.   That's the good news.  So, it may have been moved to a different home screen.  You can use the Spotlight feature to search for the app on your iPhone.  Here's how:

  • HT203175 Reloaded Itunes on an XP machine. Reloaded because Itunes would not open. Now when I play a movie that is in my library, The movie plays for aprx. 60 seconds and then reverts back to my Itunes library. Any ideas on a cure?

    Reloaded Itunes on an XP machine. Reloaded because Itunes would not open. Now when I play a movie that is in my library, the movie plays for aprx. 60 seconds and then reverts back to my Itunes library. Does it with all movies in the library, Most where downloaded from Itunes. Any ideas on a cure?

    This "original file cannot be found" thing happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout,or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
    Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then cancel when asked to try to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions.
    Alternatively, as long as you can find a location holding the missing files, then you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes .

  • Why do I have to click 'Open' to open an application or document,  when previously in Tiger, all I had to do was click on the line or image in Flow?

    I've only had OSX 10.8.2 this last month, but I've found that whenever I want to open a document, I have to click 'Open' in 'Perform tasks with the selected item' function (The gearwheel with dropdown arrow). When I had Tiger, all I had to do was click on the document and it would open. Am I missing something
    that would make my experience with Mountain Lion simpler?

    Hi sig, I was only referring to flow because that is just an alternative use to clicking on the line that the document shows on in either line view, but since asking the question, I have discovered that what I was missing was to double click on the line and the document opened.

    "When you changed your iPhone".  Do you mean you purchased a new phone? If that is the case, did you restore the new phone from a backup of the old phone? Is it possible that the app you are using does not save data in the iPhone backup? Have you contacted the app developer to ask them about it?

  • ICal disappeared from my iPhone.  How do I get it back?

    For some reason, iCal has disappeared from the screen of my iPhone 4.  How do I get the icon back and how do I access my calendar.  I think it's still somewhere on the machine as I received a notice of an appointment.

    You may have hidden it in a folder somewhere; you can't delete apps that are preinstalled.  To find it - or anything on your iPhone - use Spotlight.  Just swipe all the way to the left, past the first home screen, and start typing cal.. into the search box.  in no time at all, you'll find it.

  • My delete icon has disappeared from voicemail screen.  how do I get it back

    my delete icon has disappeared from the voicemail page. I can not delete any voicemails now.  how can I get the delete icon back?

    First of all do you have a CD/DVD in the drive?   The icon is only shown on the desktop when there is a CD/DVD in the drive.
    If you have a CD/DVD in there, then check that CD/DVDs, and iPods is ticked in Finder/Preferences/General.
