Recent downloads not showing - only old ones

When I select 'downloads' the only ones showing are from months ago - no recent dowloads are there. Is there a way of finding them - I have searched the net and tried all suggestions but still cannot see my recent dowloads - even one from a couple of hours ago.

This problem has just started over the past week. When I need download a pdf file (such as tickets etc) it shows as 'Unknown size' so I cannot open it. The dowload list shows only downloads done months ago - although, up to last week, I had no problem. Cory MH replied earlier this week suggesting the following but I am not sure how to access the information. This is screen shot of the advice:
Can you check the properties of your places.sqlite file, which handles your bookmarks, browsing history, and downloads? It is contained in your Firefox profile folder, which you can access by going to the about:support page or: • Help (or > ) > Troubleshooting Information On that page, click the "Show Folder" button and that will open your profile folder in Windows Explorer. Look for the places.sqlite file and right click it. Select Properties and under the General tab, make sure that it isn't "Read-only". You can also install the Places Maintenance extension to run maintenance on the file to see if that can fix it if it is corrupted. Please read the following articles first as they provide helpful hints and instructions that may be relevant to you:
I really need clarification as to where to find the 'about:support page' on Help/Troubleshooting etc.
This problem is a real nuisance as I will need to dowload boarding passes later in the week.
Thanks for any help Rosie
If you are having trouble reaching your troubleshooting page, type in '''about:support''' into your address bar and hit Enter.
To access the ''places.sqlite'' file:
# Click "Show Folder"
# Right click on the ''places.sqlite'' file in the Windows Explorer window that opens up, and select Properties.
# Under the General tab of the dialog box, is the "Read-only" checkbox checked? If it is, uncheck it.

    When trying to install new App. The Apple ID shows my old one not the new ID which is verified. Please advise

  • HT1689 I changed the ID app store to new account but during updating or download still showing the old ID

    I changed my Iphone 4 ID account, but during the update and download still showing the old ID

    All apps, all paid and free apps include DRM protection which is tied to the iTunes account or Apple ID that was used to download the apps.
    You must use the iTunes account or Apple ID that was used to download an app in order to install an app update.
    Not possible to transfer apps from one iTunes account or Apple ID to another and the same for merging accounts.

  • I am unable to change my iCloud email address on my phone. It is changed and verified in my account. How do I change it so that my iPhone is not showing my old address? Many thanks to all in advance

    I am unable to change my iCloud email address on my iphone. It is changed and verified in my account and when I log in to Cloud on my PC its fine. However when I go through the settings on my iphone (3GS) it still coming up with my now inactive old email address.
    How do I change it so that my iPhone is not showing my old email address and shows my new and verified email address? Many thanks to all in advance

    If you have given correct info about you ios 6.1.3 - all you need to do is delete account. You will be able to sign in with new one afterwards. Make sure you don't delete any info when you see those prompts.

  • Recently started not receiving texts from one person - AT&T user, also HTC One

    I recently started not receiving texts from one person. He also has an HTC One (older model) but has AT&T as his provider. We were texting back and forth last Friday morning (11/8) and then he called me and ever since then I have not received a single text he has sent. He is receiving all of mine and we can receive phone calls back and forth, but his text messages are not coming through. We have both tried restarting our phones and I have also tried deleting him as a contact and recreating it however nothing works. I checked to make sure he was not blocked (which I knew wasn't the case since I could receive phone calls from him as well), and even tried turning the "block contact" on and back off. Any solutions would be greatly appreciated. Right now we are using work arounds with google-talk and facebook messenger but it's very frustrated for me to not receive any of the texts that his phone is saying I am receiving.
    It had started sporadically over the past few weeks where I would miss a text from him every once in awhile, but now I am receiving nothing. He is the only one that I am having this issue with as I have texted back and forth with multiple others the past few days with no issues.
    Thanks in advance for the help!

    Hi!  I'm also having the same problem.  I have an iphone 5 & one person (who also has an iphone 5 but has AT&T as a provider).  We had been able to send & receive phone calls & texts until mid-November.  Now, we can both give & receive phone calls from each other and she receives my texts, however, I DON"T receive hers. In fact, if I'm in a group text message with her,  I don't receive any of the texts  that include her, even though I can give/receive texts individually from the others in the group message. The other two in the group message CAN receive both her texts & mine. This is so strange - I was left out of a whole thread of text messages & none of us knew it.  They thought they were including me (nothing bounced back) & I didn't know I wasn't receiving them. Since her texting works with both of the others, I'm concluding the problem must be with my phone.  Do I have an incorrect setting?  I'm not sure what could have happened.  PLEASE help! 

  • JColorChooser : "Swatches"-tab's recent-panel not showing recent color

    Hello all,
    in JColorChooser on "Swatches" tab we have one panel named "recent" and another
    named "Preview".
    Problem 1.
    After i close my Color-chooser-dialog and reopen again , Preview-panel shows
    the last selected ie recently selected color BUT recent-panel not showing any color.
    Although on other Tab like "RGB" i am getting the selected color's RGB values .
    Below is the code-snippet , Am I doing anything wrong ?
    Problem 2.
    This problem is not consistent. What happens that whatever RGB values i set,
    next time when i open the chooser , Red-value gets educed by 1 !!!
    /// code snippet
    Color defaultForeground = conFont.getForeground(); /// this gives last selected color
    Color newColor = JColorChooser.showDialog(GSCommonUtility.getAMStudioFrame(),CommonToolProperties.bundle_ToolProperties.getString("ComContributionsAdapter_ChooseForeground"),defaultForeground);
    Can someone please through some light on these 2 problems?
    thanx n regds,
    Rajesh

    I'm having the same problem with the default color chooser. Whenever it is closed it seems to lose all of the recent colors information. If you figure it out please let me know!!

  • I have a new time capsule (replace my old time capsule).  I want to erase my old one.  My computer does not see the old one anymore, how do I connect it (the old TC is not connected to modem)

    I have a new time capsule (replace my old time capsule).  I want to erase my old one.  My computer does not see the old one anymore, how do I connect it (the old TC is not connected to modem).  I want to erase it and then use it as either a second hard drive (sired/sirelesly?) or as a hard drive/bridge.  So,
    1.  why doesn't my cmputer see the old TC
    2  once i have solved that, how do I erase the old one
    3.  Can I use the old one as a supplemental hard drive
         a.  wired?
         b. wirelessly?
    4.  Can I use the old one as a range extender?
    I know .. a lot of questions but I would appreciate any help.
    Thanks

    1. Because it is either the same IP as the new one or hidden by being plugged in as a second router.
    To access it, isolate one computer from the existing network and plug it directly by ethernet to a lan port of the TC. Use the erase function in the TC to remove all the content of the hard disk.
    Then go to the internet tab, connection sharing and select off bridged. You can then reconnect the TC to the network.. and the computer as well. The TC will act as bridged device.. getting IP from the main router and should then appear correctly in Airport utility.
    2. I covered in 1. But you just go in airport utility manual setup. disk, and you will see the erase function. You can also set it to bridge and leave the erase until you put it back in the network.. but be careful you erase the right one.
    3. You can use the old TC via wired or wireless.. although I would always stick to wired connection if possible. Speed on wireless is 10x worse than wired.
    Also note the reliability goes down dramatically after 2 years.. a series 1 3 years old or more is ebay fodder unless you want to repair it. Do not trust vital data to it.. when it dies you will have issues recovering it.
    4. Yes, all apple routers will function as wireless extenders. when you do that the ethernet ports turn off so it becomes a purely wireless device.. strange apple decision on what you want to use your TC for.

  • Ichat video not working only to one person

    I've read most of the post on "i chat not working"; but has anyone had it to not work only to one individual. This is my case. I can video i chat with my son in FWB FL. with no problem. He has an Apple also. I can take my laptop to his location and video i chat with my sister-in-law in Jefferson Ga. But, I cannot video i chat with my sister-in-law from my location, Valrico, Fl. to her location in Jefferson Ga. I have had a 3 way phone conversation going with Apple, My internet provider and her internet provider and no one can solve the problem. Does anyone have any assistance they can provide. I'm not computer savy; so be patient and go slow and detail with me; thanks. Norm

    More often than not this is about the way a modem or router or combo at either end use NAT.
    NAT is Network Address Translation.
    It is the way a device shares an Internet connection with several devices/computers.
    However NAT means different things to different devices and not all devices therefore are doing what is called NAT the same way.
    See here for further mind boggling
    So what you may have is a device at either end that does not or will not play nicely with another device.
    This can be particularly the case if the device has to use Port Forwarding or Port Triggering or is using the DMZ to open ports.
    Using UPnP reduces the problem in many cases.
    http://www.ralphjohns.co.uk/page15.html#CertainBuddy
    Telling us what devices in the way of Modems and routers each end is using may help us pint to what can be changed.
    Makes and models please with what they are doing to open the ports for iChat.
    As Defcom has pointed out with certain connection it can be the Speed difference in the Internet connection both up and down that can be a factor.
    I may receive some form of compensation, financial or otherwise, from my recommendation or link.

  • I added a new post to my iTunes U course and it is not showing up on one of my student's iPads.  She has only one Apple ID on the iPad. Any assistance is appreciated.

    A new post to my iTunes U course shows up in my course both on my Mac and my iPad Air, as well as on other students' iPads, but for one single student.  We have closed the app and forced shutdown.  Student recently added more icloud space, but that is all.  iPad is up-to-date in terms of iOS and iTunesU app.  The student has only one Apple ID associated with her iPad.
    We have reposted two more times.  The second time the post showed up for a few seconds, but then disappeared.  It does not show up under any other section (assignments, discussions, etc).  Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

    Have you contacted Apple support?
    I don't know if these will work, but you could have the student try the following:
    logout of his or her iTunes U (i.e., iTunes Store) account using Settings
    force-quit iTunes U
    relaunch iTunes U
    sign in to the newly launched app when prompted
    I hope that helps!

    How did you upgrade?  Did you erase everything and reinstall/recopy/restore your data?   If so, and if the old backups are selected in Time Machine Preferences, see the last paragraph in the pink box of #15A of Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions.
    the finder window is only showing "All files", "Documents" and "Air drop" folder.
    From the Finder menubar, select Preferences > Sidebar and click the things you want to appear.
    For some other things you may stumble over, see: Changes in Lion from Snow Leopard.
    how can I go back to Snow leopard from Lion.

  • Movie not showing, only photos

    Hi, When I try to put DVD's that I took from my camra, it did not show in the actuall movie, only photo's will show. I don't know how to resolve the problem.
    Intel core duo macmini   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    Your camera is not compatible with iMovie so you will need to convert the DVD files to something iMovie can use...read this:

  • Photostream does Not show up old photos on new iPad

    I have Set up New iPad and it does Not show old photos in photostream.
    How can I get them?
    Thanks

    Hey guys,
    I have the following situation:
    I've upgraded to Mountain Lion recently, and I decided to install a fresh copy (hence, backed up all the important data on my Mac)
    However, after switching on the PhotoStream on the freshly installed iPhoto, I'm only able to see several of my photos. I'm sure that I saw many of my photos (e.g. from 2011) in my iPhoto's PhotoStream section, and I never copied them anywehre else (but still used to see them there).
    Does it mean that if I never copied some of my older photos to my real HDD or to other drives, they are lost forever?
    Thanks in adavance,
    /A.

  • Talent Search not showing name for one employee

    Hi
    I am facing issue in talent search, it is not showing employee name after search. This is happening only for one user, means surely it will be master data issue,application is working fine.
    But now I want where to see that data maintained.
    Please help with this if anyone knows about it.
    -Yogesh

    Hi Yogesh,
    If it is only one employee that it isn't showing for then it could be authorizations. Some other suggestions are:
    - Incorrect or no name for CP object
    - Incorrect authorizations of user used for delta-indexing
    My guess would to be to look at authorizations first.
    Best regards,
    Luke
