My Download window comes up, but always stays empty.

I have used Firefox for a long time. I started running 4.0 and now have a problem with my Download Window. It always pops up, as I have it configured to do, but nothing ever shows up in it. I don't have "Close it down" selected, and it doesn't. It just stays there, empty, forever. I have downloaded numerous files, and they are all downloading correctly, but I always have to go through Explorer to my Downloads directory, because they never show in the Download Window. Not huge, but quite annoying.

When I listen to music on Apple TV 2 my pictures from iPhoto come in, but always the same album (which I nevr asked for), always in random order and always in a different format. How can I control what is going on and choose the album myself.

When I listen to music on Apple TV 2 my pictures from iPhoto come in aafter about ten minutes, but always the same album (which I never asked for), always in random order and always in a different format. How can I choose a different album myself and control the order and format?

Thank you Winston for a helpful response and for reminding me of something which I found nearly a year ago and then lost (in my mind) because I did not use it. I am grateful for a correct answer but it still only achieves part of what I wanted.
I can now choose my photos, decide how long they stay on screen and choose one of a variety of presentations. Two things I still can't do.
One is to get it to play the photos in the chronological order in which I have carefully set them in an album; it still tends to be random and repetitive. The other is that I cannot get any of them them to saty on screen for more than about 20 seconds. I guess this is all due to the way Apple TV is constructed.
But still thanks, nevertheless.

Servlet can't open a download window on IE, but open it on FireFox

Hello everyone,
I created a attachment Pdf file by servlet. When I run at simulation, "inline" and attachment both worked fine.
However, web application doesn't work on IE, either for "inline" or "attachment".

Hi paul,
I found out that WSSO blocked the pop-up window first time. if I tried more than one time, it works fine. Now, I putted the application to a different path without WSSO log-in requirement, it works.
Now, I am striving to the WSSO log-in part. Is there any good idea for that though?
By the way, I am a pretty brand new Java programmer. I have so many things to learn...
Thanks for your helps,
Helen

Every time I turn iPad on Ive got three films that try to automatically download from the cloud but always fail. How can I cancel or stop this from happening?

Three films that i purchased and are stored in the cloud always try to download to my iPad when I turn it on. A message always pops up saying download failed even though I haven't tried to download them. When I go into iTunes the three films are there as an update with download failed at the side. How do I stop this and just have them in the cloud? I Don't seem to be able to clear it. I also purchased a film by mistake but got it refunded and that also appears in my library from time to time. How do I clear that?

You could also try logging out of your account by tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and then log back and see if then works
If not then do a soft-reset and try again : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
And if that doesn't work either then you could try contacting iTunes Support and see if they can remove the films from you download queue : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

I cannot activate icloud foto. When I click on icloud the window comes up but in seconds the possibility to click to activate foto freezes. Can anyone help. I have spent so many hours trying to solve the problem.

i am so tired. Have used many hours now to find a way to get my fotos from my Iphone to my PC'er (windows 7). I have downloaded Icloud, but I cannot aktivate "foto" When I click on icloud there comes a window, where it seems that I can click on foto. But within sekonds the 3. (foto) possibility freezes and the vindow sort of changes: You can still se the choice "Foto" but it cannot be activated. Can anyone help, please!

Thanks for the link to your system.
You have a Combination BluRay and Surround System that includes WIRELESS Rear Speakers:
Rear wireless ready: Yes, 5.1ch wireless system included, 7.1ch wireless option with purchase of SH-FX67 + SB-HS100A
This could account for why the BluRay is generating interference with your wireless network signal.
You can go thru the process of changing the wireless channels and other changes to the Verizon Actiontec Router or hook up your old router which was working before you switched to FIOS.
FIOS has a Superior Product over any cable system and I would hate to see you leave over something that was out of their control.
By the way, looking at the picture of the rear connections for your Panasonic you would want to have an Optical Toslink cable go from the back of the Verizon HD Set Top Box (Optical Out) to the Optical In jack on the back of the Panasonic. This connection will provide you with Dolby Digital sound (If Broadcast by Channel) while you are watching TV. You may need to switch inputs on the Panasonic Remote to get this to work. You may also have an Optical Out jack on the TV that could be connect as well if you are using an HDMI Cable.
Your Verizon STB would be connected to the TV by either HDMI, Component, Composet, or Coax (Highest Quality to Lowest Quality). The HDMI would also provide sound to your TV so that it's internal speakers would work if desired.

HP Photosmart Wireless B109n-z will come online but not STAY online!

In a nutshell: I own a HP B109n-z. It will connect on power on as it should to my main wireless access point and print from all computers on the network. After a while the printer will go offline. Web-interface cannot be reached, the printer will not respond to ping.
To remedy the situation, turn of printer, turn on again on front switch. Printer will connect to wireless AP and print in less than a minute. The printer is currently located 30 miles away from me, so hitting on/off is not an option for me. This printer needs to just STAY online as long as access point and power is supplied. I am - as I write this - connected via remote desktop to my Win 2k8 server, and I get no response when I ping the printer - however everything else on the network works, and I actually see the printer in my routers wireless section. It is just if the printer is in some kind of hibernation.
I've read several topics about the HP Photosmart Wireless B109n-z that goes offline and it seems to be a general problem with this printer. It also seems to be a generel answer from HP forum operators to ask what router the user is using - and then stating that that particular brand of router is flawed and the newest firmware should be installed, then try again. That move seems like a stall to me.
Please - dearest HP support - do NOT give me that answer. EVERYTHING else in my network setup works, and works ALL the time, every single day. The problem, whatever it is, clearly resides in the printer itself. All my automated daily network operations with regards to back-up and file distribution and automatic emails, plus remote operations have all been running every day for more than a year without needing maintenance. The frustration with this issue is immense.
Please help me get this solved once and for all. Help me make the printer stay online until I turn it off.
My setup:
1: Main ADSL-modem/router/wireless accesspoint is some kind of Sagem - and I can't do anything about that, it is provided by the only ISP that operates in the area (I live in Denmark). Don't know what box it is - but it uses 'Fast3504_5AD038' firmware. Broadcasts SSID, using 802.11 b + g and WPA/WPA2, running DHCP
HP B109n-z have static IP outside of DHCP range, and is placed ind same subnet as the rest of the network.
2: Attached hardware to entire network:
One Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise Dell machine cabled to the Sagem box. Running 24/7/365, controlled externally using MSTSC remote desktop every day.
One Linksys WRT54GL router cabled to the Sagem box, running DD-WRT firmware, used as a secondary wireless acces point with its own SSID. Provides wireless internet acces 24/7/364 for laptops and smartphones in the house.
Three HD digital TVs cabled to the Sagem box, receiving IP-tv signal (individually, not same channel/signal)
2 phonelines (sharing number)
The WRT54GL have a cabled connection to a Windows 7 X64 workstation, providing internet access via cabled onboard LAN from workstation and cabled connection from WRT54GL to Sagem box. Used every day, most of the day.
3 laptops connects wireless to the WRT54GL access point, which in turn - as said before - is cabled to the primary Sagem box, used every day, most of the day
HP B109n-z connects to the wireless access point given by the Sagem box without problems.
All three TVs are connected with CAT-6 cable, all other cables are CAT-5
Best regards,
A danish person

OK, I'll give it a shot, but ISP-supplied routers can cause lots of problems - search these forums and you will see that.
Let's set a static IP at the printer, which includes directing the printer to the DNS server, which is sometimes helpful:
Let's set a static IP address for the printer:
- Print a Network Config Page from the front of the printer. Note the printer's IP address.
- Type that IP address into a browser to reveal the printer's internal settings.
- Choose the Networking tab, then Wireless along the left side, then the IPv4 tab.
- On this screen you want to set a Manual IP. You need to set an IP address outside the range that the router automatically sets (called the DHCP range). You can find the DHCP range of the router using its internal settings page or in its manual. Use the CD that came with your router or type the router's IP address (ends in .1) into a browser.
- Use 255.255.255.0 for the subnet (unless you know it is different, if so, use that)
- Enter your router's IP (on the Network Config Page) for the gateway and first DNS. Leave the second one blank.
- Click 'Apply'.
Now, shut down the router and printer, start the router, wait, then start the printer.
After this you may need to redo 'Add a Printer' using the new IP address.
If this does not work, you can add a "standard" router (Linksys, Netgear or such) to your ISP router and turn off the ISP's wireless. I have seen this work well many times. You can turn the ISP's DHCP off as well, but you may have to open a port to the "standard" router. Attach all devices to the "standard" router.

Firefox stopped working when I click in the icon. Just a small window comes up but will not come up. When I click on the small window it just goes away.p

This is a brand new computer.
I took the computer to the tech and when he hooked it up everything worked fine. However, when I took it back home the same problem existed.
I tried Chrome and it works OK.

Ff 26 just installed an update and now downloads do not appear in the download window.

I've tried several solutions recommended to people who had this problem in prior versions but none of them work. It does not matter whether I display downloads in a separate window or sidebar. The downloads are actually happening in the background (when I open windows explorer the file is listed in the folder) and the download window is there, but nothing about the file or its status appears in the window.
I use Download Manager Tweak 0.9.8 open in a sidebar but the problem persists when I have downloads open in a separate window.

I was using the add-on Download Manager Tweak 0.9.8 rather than the native FF download manager and just discovered that Tweak will not work with FF 26. The Tweak download window stays blank even if files are downloading. When I downloaded and re-installed FF 25.0.1 my downloads showed up in my download window again as they always did before the upgrade to FF 26.
Can the Mozilla FF team track down what caused this problem and correct it so that Tweak will work again or at least contact the provider of Tweak to try to find a fix?

Why can't I see my downloads in my pop up download window?

why can't I see my downloads in my pop up window for downloads anymore? I can find it when I go to my dowload file nder finder but it used to show automaticially in a download window... but not anymore???

It's a UI regresion is it not?
Changing standard behaviour like this, then assuming it's all ok seems quite strange, considering it's a years old feature that every probably uses as a management window...
Some people think that a missing downloads window is a bug even.

Downloading Windows Media Player on Mac

Not sure if this is the right section or not so sorry if it's in the wrong place.
I'm trying to download Windows Media Player but the installer file is a .sitx. I can't figure out how to install it with this. I'm very new to mac so please explain it to me so I can understand it.

You need to download and install Stuffit Expander, available free from Stuffit.com in order to open .sit (Stuffit) files.

2012 MBA 11 boot camp can't download windows support software?

I just got 2012 MBA 11 today, and I tried boot camp assistant to download Windows 7 driver, but it fails saying " Can't install windows support software because it is not currently available from the Software Update server". Is it because my MBA is too new and I need to wait for a few days, or other issue?
Please help.
Lu

Is is really aggravating not being able to download the drivers for my MBA 11 2012. I've managed to get the video and wireless working using the Intel drivers for the video and the Broadcom drivers for the WIFI. I am using the Lenovo drivers for WIFI:
http://download.lenovo.com/UserFiles/Driver/en/Downloads%20and%20Drivers/G470G57 0/Updated%20Win7/IN1WLN80WW5.exe
Open the .exe file in Winzip and just take the Broadcom folder.
I hope this is fixed at Apple soon.

My Download window comes up, but always stays empty.
