My default downloads folder is on my server at work, so when I'm at home the downloads window won't open and I can't change my download settings.

I've tried resetting my downloads folder to default, but it just goes back to the downloads folder on my work server that I won't be able to connect to until next month. When I try to select a different download folder, the "browse" button doesn't work. I've also tried selecting the option to ask me where to save each time, but nothing pops up when I try to save something.

hey jessicats86, please enter '''about:config''' into the locationbar of the browser (you might have to confirm the info message in case it shows up) and search for the preferences named '''browser.download.dir''' & '''browser.download.lastDir'''. right-click each of them and reset the value to the default. then restart firefox and try to set the download folder again in the options panel.

Try rebooting your iPhone (holding the home button and sleep/wake button together until the apple logo appear)

My iPhoto won't open and I can't download a new app.

My iPhoto won't open (having upgraded to Yosemite in Janurary 2015). When I try to open it it says that my version is not compatible with Yosemite and that I need to upgrade the app from the app store - but cannot find iPhoto on the app store.
I also do not have Photos installed, and similarly cannot find it on the app store.
I would really like to be able to retrieve my iPhoto library - will this be possible?
I have been backing up to an external hard-drive but don't know how/if I can retrieve my iPhoto from there if iPhoto no longer exists on most mac computers.
Would appreciate some advice!

You need to upgrade to 10.10.3 - it's on software update.
That will give you the new Photos.app.
It will also be possible to download the up-to-date version of iPhoto:
Go to the App Store and check out the Purchases List. If iPhoto is there then it will be v9.6.1
If it is there, then drag your existing iPhoto app (not the library, just the app) to the trash
Install the App from the App Store.
Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.

One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.

My iPhoto won't open, and tells me I need to download the current version. But when I try to do that, it says the application isn't available in my country.

I was trying to open iPhoto one day, when I noticed the icon had a white circle with a slash mark through it on top of the icon. I clicked on it, and an error message popped up that read: "In order to open iPhoto, you need to update to the latest version." (I had just updated my Mac with the OS X Yosemite 10.10.3 Supplemental Update) So I go ahead and click download on the error message, and it brings me to the app store and says "Item Not Available. The item you've requested is not currently available in your country." (I live in the U.S.)
Had this happened to anybody??

My friend recommended an app and I downloaded it but when I did, a copy popped up as well. The installation progress bar is full but the app won't open and I can't delete it. Help please

Sydneybling it does sound like your security software is interfering with the process of installing and utilizing your Adobe Creative applications. I would recommend that you try temporarily disabling your security software and utilizing the directions listed at Install and update apps - https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/help/install-apps.html to install InDesign CC.

ITunes asked me for updates I said ok download and then it finish but the SIM card couldn't open and I can't use the cellphone and they ask me for support it

what I can do for this problem

Sounds like you have a phone that was hacked to run on a network other than the one it was originally locked to. Updating it has re-locked the phone to the original carrier. ONLY the carrier can authorize unlocking the phone.
Where are you, where did you get the phone, and what network are you on?

How can I change my Download/Desktop folder name?

Hello everybody!
First of all, I want to thank by advance all the people who will take some time to answer my question.
I've updated my Macbook Pro 13" late 2011 from Mavericks to the Yosemite Beta (I was part of the pre launching program), end then, from the beta to the actual release.
I don't really remember when, but suddenly, the other day, I've noticed that my basic folders wasn't named in my language. For example, the downloads folder is named "Downloads", as it should be named "Téléchargements" (I'm french, and my OS is in french). The problem is happening on a few folders, only in my finder window, the folders are correctly named in my dock... What could I do to restore that?

If you don't mind using the Terminal:
Open the Terminal in your Utilities folder. At the prompt enter:
sudo mv (drag the folder into the Terminal window) (drag it one more time, but now change the folder name)
Press RETURN. When prompted enter your admin password. It will not echo to the Terminal window. Press RETURN again.
The first entry after "sudo mv " is the old_folder_name. Be sure to include the "space" after "sudo mv." The second one is the new_folder_name. Rather than doing a lot of typing it's easier to just drag the folder in twice, then change the folder_name of the second entry. Note that there is a space between the two entries. The parenthetical text is not part of the command line. Repeat the above for each folder you need to rename.
I think this is a bit easier and quicker than reinstalling.

Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.

I've updated to the most recent version of iTunes and I can no longer see any of my old music on my mac. All the music is still available on my ipad. How can i download the music on my mac?

First, are you positive it is really not there? Have you looked in your iTunes folder in your Music folder, and in the media folders there? Do you see your media files?
If your media are gone it is a lot easier to restore from a proper computer backup. Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was planned with you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss. Syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchases which can be transferred to a computer.
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only purchases from iTunes Store
For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software. See this document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991

It is possible the versions you have are not compatible with your new Mac. Could you please tell us the following:
1. What OS are you running.
To get this info, click on the Apple on the top left, then select About This Mac. The OS X version is there.
2. What are the versions of the apps that are giving you problems?
To get this info, double click on the hard drive icon and open the Applications folder. Select an application and right click on it. Then select Get Info. The version number is there.
Version number:
Not sure I understand your reference to Flip Player - this is not related to the "won't open" problem, is it?

I downloaded the OS X on my air and I can't use my keyboard and it won't let me restart my computer because it says that the application assistant canceled the shut down, I don't know what to do

When all else fails (it sounds like it has) hold the power button for about 10 seconds. This shuts down the computer. Then tap it to restart. Since it sounds like the OS upgrade began but then failed to perform a restart you may find that the Install Mavericks file is still in the Applications folder and you can try again. Or you might find that you have to redownload. I don't think the installation is going to proceed as if the computer had successfully restarted but I could be wrong (and in this case gladly so for your sake.)

Downloaded files won't open, and mouse sometimes disappears

Hey there,
I've just been having some rather minor problems with my iBook, and I thought maybe someone could help me out.
First of all, my iBook won't open a lot of applications that I download. It says that it can't find the application to open the programs with. I looked on a few of these forum threads, and it said to download the Stuffit program. I dowloaded the latest version, but when I went to open it, my computer gave me the same answer as it did for all those other apps- that it couldn't find the application to open it up with. I went back and downloaded the previous version of Stuffit, but that had the same result. How can I get files to open on my computer?
Also, sometimes while I'm in Safari, the mouse arrow completely disappears until I either scroll over a picture or click the back/forward arrows. Anyone have any ideas on why this happens? It doesn't really do anything bad, it's just annoying.
Well, thanks for reading this, and have a good day!

Ok, maybe this will lend some insight to the Safari cursor behavior.
I was on the Slashdots' main page. I had not experienced the issue since yesterday.
I proceded to follow this link, opening it in a new tab:
http://www.crn.com/sections/breakingnews/dailyarchives.jhtml?articleId=188701694
When on that page, the cursor would start rapidly switching from a pointer to a hand. I clicked on the tab for Slashdot. Problem gone! I tabbed back to the CRN page in question and reloaded it. Problem is back. To clarify, I did not have to reload the page for the problem to persist, it was just something I tried.
I emptied the cache and reloaded. No change.
I would like to add that this in no way interferes with productivity when working in Safari, it's just really odd is all.
Any ideas?
