Names of downloaded files appear in Downloads Window only if that window is open during download. I run Firefox 4 on windows xp 32 bit sp3. I didn't have such problem with Firefox 3. Can somebody please help me?

When I download a file with firefox 4 Downloads Window opens but downloading file name doesn't appear there. If I keep Downloads Window open further downloads appear in it but if i close it and reopen it again it appears blank, all downloaded file names are disappeared. I tried everything, unchecked "Remember download history" box and checked it again, deleted downloads.sqlite file, even created new profile but nothing helped.

It is easy for me to explain things badly, and I can not see what you are actually doing, I will therfore try to list as steps to take.
Please confirm that you have used firefox safe mode and still see the problem, by doing the following:
# open firefox - use any profile
# use '''Firefoxbutton -> Help -> Restart with add-ons disabled'''
# you should now see an options dialogue with a list of check box options,
#*you may get a confirmation option, if so accept it
#* do you now see the listing of check boxes, with a continue button at the bottom
#without making any changes, click the continue with safemode
# firefox should now restart in safe-mode
Now try the downloading, whilst we know you are in safe mode.
# once a download has completed, use the option to open the containing folder that you see in your download manager
## does that option work ok,
## does it open a folder with downloads in it, make a note of the folders path/location/name
## do you see the downloaded file you just downloaded
## if so regardless of what the downloads folder says you have found the downloads
## close firefox and the folders with the downloads
## are you now able to reopen the 'containing' folder and find the downloads <br />( use Windows Explorer, not clicking on firefox, - firefox is closed)
## close the folder again
## open firefox, this time no need to be in safe mode
## look again for the containing folder whose name you noted down, does it still contain the downloads
#'''IF''' you are getting problems now that you are in safe mode read the article about [[Unable to download or save files]]
## the article has several steps it suggests you try,
## please try all the steps in turn and report what happens with each step

I fixed it!!! Following advice from similar posts, I searched the hard drive for "sessionrestore.js" in my Firefox Profiles folder (you'll need to enable viewing of hidden files in Windows Explorer (Tools > Folder Options > View (then select Hidden files option) then Apply to all folders) to do this). I then shut down Firefox, deleted the file and restarted - my home page was correct and it didn't try to open my old session! Some other posts suggested deleting everything called "sessionrestore" in that folder, but I didn't need to.

HT1766 I have some ringtones on my iPhone 5 and I want to get them on my new iPhone 5s. How do I get them? iTunes is trying to make me buy them again. I am using the same account and I didn't have this problems with any of my music. Help anyone ? :)

Is this a common question asked, or am I the only one have this problem?

Transfer them to your computer using File>Transfer Purchases in iTunes, then sync them to the new phone. You can not re-download ringtones like you can music.

I am unable to update, uninstall, or reinstall iTunes on my laptop. Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bits. Error code is 2330. Can somebody please help me?

I am unable to update, uninstall, or reinstall iTunes on my laptop. Everything was working fine until recently when there was an update available for iTunes, and when I tried to update this, I got the message, "The installer has encountered an unexpected error installing this package. This may indicate a problem with this package. Error code is 2330." Can somebody please help me?
System configuration:
Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bits.
Version: 6.1.7601 Service Pack 1 Build 7601
System Directory: C:\Windows\system32
RAM: 1.00 GB.

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for installation or performance issues, or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there are also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.

'''Did you backup whatever bookmarks you did have on the computer ? '''
Remember any restoring of bookmarks overwrites whatever he current set is, and you may not want to loose them.
Even if up until now you have not made any backups of Desktop bookmarks Firefox will have backed up some of them into sets of daily bookmark backups. Once you have backed up your current set you could look at what it has by restoring those bookmarks, you may find one of those sets is fairly complete.
By the way if you look at the profile files and folders that you should now have on the desktop you should see it contains a bookmarks backup folder, the size of the files within should indicate whether they contain anything.
You need to go into the bookmarks library and try the restore option. Backup each set that you look at if it has anything of use in it, before trying the next set. With look one of those will be a fairly complete set of bookmarks.
* USE '''Show All Bookmarks -> Import and Backup -> Restore '''
** see [[Restore bookmarks from backup or move them to another computer#w_restoring-from-backups]]_restoring-from-backups
I do not use Firefox on mobiles, but before you try anything further you do need to backup the desktop bookmarks and learn what existing backups you have. Unless you master that you are in continual danger of overwriting and loosing bookmarks.
Presumably you have already found this listing of help articles for mobiles

I really do not think it is the iPad or your network connection. Other users have reported this very same issue. Try this and see if it works for you - it may not work - but it's easy to try - harmless - and it has worked in the past for others.
Try signing out of your account and restart your iPad.
Go to Settings>Store>Apple ID and tap the ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button. Go back to Settings>Store> Apple ID and sign in again.

Hello
This is the first time I've put a computer together from scratch (I got some help from a friend though). What I wonder is if there is a manual for the MSI mothercards somewhere on the net because I didn't get any good description in the package, and I can't find the spot for audi and USB inputs. I also would like to know how many memorysticks i can use, because if i put in 3 of them the computer starts to beep. Can somebody please help me?
My specs are:
Q-tec midi Tower
MSI K8N Neo2-FX, nForce3
AMD Athlon 64 3200+ 2.0GHz socket 939
Zalman P4 CNPS-7700-CU
XFX Geforce FX5500 128MB DDR
Samsung Spinpoint P120 200GB
Sony DVD burner DL
Sony floppydisk
Cosair Value S. PC3200 DDR-dimm 512MB unbuffered non-Parity, 64Meg x 64, CL2.5
(I have 3 of these but I can only have 2 at a time or the computer wont work)

Congrats on 'Rolling your Own' for the first time. I'm certainly no expert although I have sucessfully built a few. Actually, my specs are almost identical except I'm using Kingston Value Ram instead of Cosair. As far as your first question, I assume you mean the internal USB/MB connectors and the MB audio connector(s). The information is in the MSI Neo2 Plat manual although you have to look closely and move back and forth between the MB schemaic and the section(s) describing the connections to get a clear fix. The MB USB connectors are on the side of the MB furthest from the RAM slots and about in the center, (JUSB1 or JUSB2). The audio connector (JAUD1 is located on the same side of the MB as the USB connectors only near the rear panel end, (close to the orange PCI slot). As you, I found that that I could not use three ram sticks as I could in my old K7 board and when I bought two sets of matched ram I found that it didn't like 4 sticks either. Three: Would'nt post Four: Instability and an initial hit in performance; although I was able to finally coax it to 200mhz Dual Channel it wasn't worth it because of the random crashes n Windows I was getting. I have also discovered the hard way that for some reason my board at least is hypersensitive to IDE cables, (Would not recognize any secondary IDE device on Channel 1 until I found the right cable) and it does not like Sound Blaster audio cards prior to Audigy 2 ZS. Actually, it only tolerates a ZS and I had problems and it didn't like my new X-Fi at all until I moved it to the PCI slot closest to my video card. I was getting random BSODS and crashes, (one that took out my OS). Since I move the card things appear to be more stable, so far. Anyway good luck.

I'm having trouble with my macbook pro, I have only had it for three months, when I plugged a camera sd card into the sd slot it isn't appearing anywhere on the computer and i can not access my photographs. can somebody please help me?

Clifton I must disagree with you on the above statement. It is my opinion and experience that you should never connect the camera directly to any computer, Mac Windows Whatever.
It is always best to Remove the memory card from the camera and put it in a card reader, whether an external reader or one built into the computer, to copy images from the card.
Hi Shootist. I would be interested in hearing some reasoning on this. I almost always use a USB cable to connect my camera to the MBP for transferring pictures, and have moved about 30,000 this way over the last 6 years since my photography went digital. Recently, on the rare occassions when I have only a few to transfer and I was too lazy to go for the cable, I have used the card reader; about half those times I have difficulty getting the MBP to recognise the card. I find I have to press the card very hard into the slot for it to be recognised.
My rationale is quite possibly wrong, but I feel that the USB connectors are more robust and hard-wearing than the flimsy connectors on an SD card. Also, I haven't measured it, but I think the data transfer is faster with the cable. (I just came across this test, which reports noticeably faster transfer for cable than built-in card reader, but the computer was a PC)
Chiara, sorry for hijacking your thread.

Have you upgraded to iPhoto 9.6 for compatibility with Yosemite? If not, try that first.
It looks like iPhoto has lost the connection between the thumbnails and the original image files.
This can be caused by a corrupted iPhoto library, or the originals have been deleted or moved.
Try first to rebuild your iPhoto Library:
If you do not have a current backup of the iPhoto library, make a copy of the library, but do not overwrite any previous backup.
Launch iPhoto with the ⌥⌘-key combination (option-command) held down.
Select "rebuild" from the first aid panel. This may take a while for a large library.
Can you now see your photos again?
If not, rebuild the library with iPhoto Library manager as described by Old Toad: Re: iphoto crashed
