Messages started automatically downloading files

How do I get that to stop? I would like to be asked to accept the file.
I've looked everywhere.
thanks!

Hi,
In Messages Menu > Preferences > General Section there is an AppleScript option at the bottom.
In earlier Messages and iChat apps there was a separate Alerts pane that meant you could link a specific Sound to a specific Action within a Buddy list.
This mean that a script (Auto Accept) was written by Apple that could be used for Text Invites, Audi Only and Video invite and File Sharing was included.
The script is still written for this but can be applied in that General Section (it seems it is aimed at the "Message Received" setting for sound higher up that pane)>
Check whether the Auto Accept is On and turn it Off (set to None) if it is.

Why does Safari automatically download files? I want option to download.

Why does Safari automatically download files? I want option to download or not. I didn't think it used to automatically download. But now every time I click on a file that has been sent to me it does give me an option to view or not..it just automatically downloads it. Any suggestions?

Hi,
Why does Safari automatically download files?
That's what Apple decided it should do. It's not my preferred option either to be honest.
I didn't think it used to automatically download.
Safari has always done this. Maybe in the past you had a third-party application installed that did this for Safari.
Any suggestions?
Safari menu > Report Bugs to Apple... or http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html
For more immediate action, have a search around www.macupdate.com or www.versiontracker.com to see if such an 'extension' exists to force Safari to prompt on download. (Bear in mind these kind of things can be sensitive to the version of Safari they're used with, so if Safari starts crashing down the line they would be the primary suspects to remove)

Elements 8 won't automatically download files

Although I've checked the "automatic download" box on the advanced dialog for downloading files, Elements 8 will not automatically download files when I connect my camera to my computer. Instead, I have to manually go into the organizer and click File->Get Photos from Camera or Card, which pulls up the downloader. Then I still have to select the device to download from - even though it's connected and the organizer recognizes it, I have to do everything manually.
Any suggestions on how to remedy this?

Hi,
Launch Photoshop Elements Organizer and click Edit>>Preferences>>Camera or Card Reader.
Here, select generic device under download options and click EDIT.
now select automatic download from the drop-down menu, click ok and restart organizer.
This should work!

Error message not displayed - Downloading files in a table

Hi!!!
I'm following the guide to download files onDemand in a table, you can find that guide at:
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/b0e10426-77ca-2910-7eb5-d7d8982cb83f
If found a problem with the guide: What would happen if there's an error while downloading or somenthing else? There the author doesn't explain how to show an error in the view.
What I'd like to do is to show a error message in the view where the table is.
I tried to add some code, but it doesn't finally show the error message.
I have a method that generates the file and returns the path of the file in the context, so I can read it. It return boolean (true if the file was generated, false on the contray). That method is called executeZgav_Sf_Formulario_Sv_Input(nroEmpleado, nroViaje, morei, datosEspejo); and is working fine.
I also have a static class that reads a file and returns the byte[] called: ManejoArchivos.getByteArrayFromResourcePath(wdContext.currentOutput_FormularioSVElement().getP_Path(), true);
But if for example, the parameters are incorrect and the file cannot be generated, the method is supposed to show an error but is not displayed on the screen.
I have some code after that which validates if the file could be read or not and returns the bytes of a prewritten PDF file with an error message.
Added code:
          byte[] r = null;
          boolean continuar =
               this.executeZgav_Sf_Formulario_Sv_Input(nroEmpleado, nroViaje, morei, datosEspejo);
          if (continuar)
               try {
                    r =
                         ManejoArchivos.getByteArrayFromResourcePath(
                              wdContext.currentOutput_FormularioSVElement().getP_Path(),
                              true);
               } catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
                    wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().reportMessage(
                         IMessageData.ARCHIVO_NO_ENCONTRADO,
                         null,
                         true);
               } catch (IOException e) {
                    wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().reportMessage(IMessageData.PROBLEMA_IO, null, true);

Hi Alejandro,
Try This.
try
catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().reportException("Given FileNotFoundException : "+e.getMessage(),true);
catch (IOException ex) {
wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().reportException("Given IOException : "+ex.getMessage(),true);

Macbook Retina, Loud Idle Fans, Fans start from downloading files

hello
i have a early 2013 retina 15" macbook pro
is it normal that the fans kick in from browsing in youtube? or when i download 2 big files at the same time.. like 500 MB for example
i think it cant be normal for a computer like this to have spinning fans when usage is so low
also my left fan makes a strange noise sometimes, on the right side you only can hear the spinning air from the fan, but not the fan itself,
on the left side you cleary hear a noise while the macbook is in idle, its not extreme loud, but you can cleary hear the fan fro distance when in idle
is this normal?
i trid everything, smc reset, completly reinstalled 10.8.3 but its still the same
the next apple store is over 1 hour away with my car
so i hope to find some helpful answers here first please
Should you hear the fans from a normal working distance when your maschine is in idle with alost no usage
browsing, downloading files etc..
thanks in advance
deniz

Your computer uses Flash to watch YouTube, and it may make your Mac work harder because it consumes a lot of CPU and memory, so it may be normal. However, it's not normal that fans turn on when you are downloading two files.
I recommend you to run Apple Hardware Test in order to check if there's something wrong with your computer. To do this, connect the computer to the charger, and hold Option (Alt) and D keys while your Mac is starting to start into Apple Hardware Test. Choose the language, mark the option to run an extended test and start the test. When it finishes, if it shows an error, copy it here and get ready to take the computer to an Apple Store. If not, there's a process which is consuming a lot in the computer

WSUS replica: Imported updates and metadata but now starts to download files

Hi,
I want to setup a new wsus replica server.
I installed the WSUS service , then imported the updates and then an imported the metadata.
A soon as I pressed synchronize , it started to pull lots of updates (18GB) and more coming up.
Why is this? Why does it start to download as I already imported all updates ....
How can I fix this?
Kr,
Joeri

Any idea what is wrong?
Based on the dozens, if not hundreds, of scenarios displaying this exact same symptom, my guess would be that you restored the ~\WSUSContent folder, thus overwriting the existing (empty) ~\WSUSContent folder, and as a result, modified the ACLs of that folder.
The ACL modification results in the removal of the *LOCAL* WSUS Administrators group and replaces it with the SID of the
WSUS Administrators group of the source server (which cannot be translated on the local server).
As a result, the WSUSService loses its right to read from the folder tree, and that translates to "no files exist, we need to download them".
You can fix the ACL by adding the WSUS Administrators group back, deleting the orphaned SID reference to the source server, and then clearing the BITS Download Queue.
After cleaning up the filestore issue, rerun the WSUSUTIL IMPORT.

I keep getting error message safari cannot download file.

Every time I try to download a Mac game from Bigfishgames I get casuarina cannot download file. Also will not allow me to download app. I am a new iPad user. Am I doing something wrong?

Correct, Safari can not be used to download files on the iPad. Also a Mac based game will not work on an iPad. Any available Apps for the iPad need to be downloaded from the App Store.

PSE 8 won't automatically download files from my camera when connected

Hi,
I just installed PSE 8.0 -- I had previously been using PSE 6.0, so I installed PSE 8.0 then uninstalled PSE 6.0. Now, when I connect my camera, the PSE photo downloader does not launch automatically. I set the device start options in the control panel to open the PSE 8.0 organizer as documented in the PSE online help, but when I plug in my camera and turn it on, nothing happens.
I'm running Windows 7 64-bit Home Premium. This function, the photo downloader, worked fine on PSE 6.0, which is the only thing that I've changed.
I suspect something got "uninstalled" unintentionally when I uninstalled PSE 6.0, but I could be wrong.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks!

Hi,
The easy solution is to download via File -> Get Photos & Videos -> from camera or card reader
Thanks/ Tarun

Can I stop my Mac automatically downloading files.

Can I make another program, in this case iGetter my default download program instead of my Mac automatically doing the downloads. They just don't work most of the time, and if they stop, then to resume they start from zero. This problem was fixed on the darkside years ago. Surely Apple must allow other defaults when their's is so bad? When I manage to use iGetter I have no problems.

Love that forthright attitude! (Seems rampant around here. 'Tis good.)
I do have a NetComm NB6 running 802.11n at 300Mbps (guess I do have a cable), but judging by the pictures on the box I need ADSL2+ for that. Well I only a have wireless broadband service, so plugging it into the phone socket will do Sweet Fanny Adams, as my Dear Ol' Dad woulda said. I use the pathetic interface supplied by my service provider to access my broadband service.
Now if I plug the non-pathetic router into the Mac ethernet port, from one of the four ports provided using the non-existent cable, everything is hunky dory. The Mac sees it and I have another wi-fi network, and it may be possible to get it to receive my broadband signal (seeing it is wireless), but mate, that is way beyond this Antepodean Wally's expertise. There are no pictures for that!
If this router will do the job I have not the foggiest idea how to do it.
ps. I hate this smiley face stuff (couldn't find one that says tongue-in cheek), but I have been mistaken for a rude wanker before today, and thought, seeing we know each other not, I would put them in this one time out of respect for your efforts to help this dumb PC reject.

Save as just started automatically appending file extension -- how to stop

When I do file->save_as the file name is automatically appended with the file type (ie: .jpg or .tiff). This just started and I do not know why. I do not want this as I am doing a save_as instead of save so I can append some tag info to the name of the file: file name: foo and I want to save as foo1. Having to delete the .jpg is annoying and will lead to errors. Why did this start and how do I go back to the old way it worked? I updated nothing when this started.
thanks Ry

Thanks Benjamin,
Part of your description is correct. Old way of working:
do save as: get filename without any extension
If I change the file type (as you mentioned) then the file extension is added.
So if I saved a jpg file and then I am working on a raw file and want to save it as a tiff I would do a save as. save as wants to save the file in the format previously saved in. So when making the change I first change the file name (which is easier without the extension present and then I change the file type, which then adds the new extension.
having the extension added coming in is what has changed and is really annoying.
I would like to thank all for the answers so far, hopefully there is a way to get back to the original behaviour, which by the way has been working that way for years.
thanks ry

How do I tell itunes (on a Windows XP PC) to start adding downloaded files to an external drive ? Starting itunes while pressing the shift key and then choosing works only for a MAC, I think. I only need this one final step. All is copied already

How do I tell itunes on a Windows XP PC to start downloading new songs to my external drive ? The whole library has already been moved. I am just one final step away. Everything I`m downloading still lands on C: Relaunching itunes while pressing "shift" and then getting prompted to choose library might work for a Mac, it doesn't for Windows.

In iTunes click on 'Edit', then 'Preferances', Click on the 'Advanced' button, change the entry in the 'iTunes media folder location' to point to your external drive.

Safari automatically downloads "Unknown" file

In the last few days I have found that Safari automatically downloads files called "Unknown". It sometimes happens when I am using another application so it doesn't seem related to something that I have just done. Also I find that Safari is DEAD slow with some pages or part of the content of some pages.
Here's what I have tried so far. I have deleted all the plist files in both the user account and the library folder in the system folder. I have zapped the PRAM, rebuilt permissions and restarted in safe mode. I have Resert Safari and Emptied the Cache under the Safari menu. I have also updated my antivirus and run it. Nothing has helped.
The sites that load slowly do not behave the same way in Firefox, but I would like to use Safari for most of these most of the time. Any suggestions of a cure would be most welcome.

CCMSETUP "failed to download files through BITS"

Hi
I'm strugling with my SCCM Clients.
We use:
ConfigMgr 2007 SP1. Client version 4.0.6221.1000. Mixed mode, one site. Server installed on Windows 2003 R2, database clustered. Client are Windows XP Pro with SP3. Site has been published in AD.
Push Client Deployment works fine.
First I tried to deploy the client with Group Policy. Stopped with "failed to download files through BITS"
Then I tried to deploy the client with a script, and finally manually. Got the same error message:"failed to download files through BITS".
End of log file looks like this:
Starting BITS download for client deployment files
Failed to download files through BITS
A Fallback Status Point has not been specified. Message with STATEID='309' will not be sent
Kind of stuck here. Please help!

I solved the "BITS" problem. There was another web-application on the site-server that altered the permissions on the "Default Web Site". The CCM_CLIENT properties had "Script and Executables" selected for "Execute permissions". I Set this back to "None".
Now trying to deploy the client via GPO another error came: "Installation failed because another program is installing (1618)". This was during the wingapi.msi installation.
When a new Window XP Pro Computer is installed various applications are installed from GPO and also Office 2007 scripted. I guess this is a challenge for the ConfigManager Client Bootstrap installation.
So then I tried to deploy the client from startup script, setting the Policy "Maximum wait time for group policy script =0 (infinite)" and the policy "Run startup script asynchronously" = Disabled. This Works!!
The script will fire each time it boots until it is installed. The GPO installation will not retry to install. Therefore I think a script is a safer way to deploy the client.
I will test more on this.
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction!

ITunes - where is stored download file?

Hi there,
I downloaded some file if iTunes try repair the "1669"... and where is placed?
I cant find this... Could you help me?
I have Mac OS X 10.9...
Thanks.

Thanks for your answer. Sorry for English, I'm from Czech rep. ...
My iPhone has "error 1669" (This: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5933420?tstart=0 ) and I can't repair that. Anyway, I downloaded a file for repair. When I connected iPhone to Mac, iTunes said "iPhone must be repaired" and started with download file for repair. During instalation: "and error (1669)" and then iTunes stop installation...
Do you know, where can I find this file for delete? It has something about 1,5 GB... and my SSD drive is only 64 GB ...
Tanks, and sorry for English (or better Cz-english )...
