Selecting items in Downloads window broken (no drag, no command-click)

I don't think this can be an isolated situation, since it is happening on several Macs I own on both 10.4 and 10.5. If there are multiple items in my Downloads window, I can't do any of the following:
* Drag through several items to select them (for clearing)
* Command-click several items to select them (discontiguous selecting)
I haven't seen this reported before, so is this a "feature enhancement" or a bug?

Anyone?

My mouse pad randomly selects items eg. links, text, pictures and drags, opens or deletes them. I've tried cleaning the mousepad and turning it on and off a few times.

I believe the mouse pad is hypersensitive, but it also will click on items when nothing is near the laptop. Eg. I'm no where near it and it will play/pause/change the song in itunes.

See if a smc and pram reset affects anything.
See if you get this behavior if you log into another account.

HT1491 How do I pay for a selected item and download to myPC

I am new to iTunes. I want to purchase a song and play from my PC or Android phone and tablet. I could only find a way to add to my wish list. How do I purchase from my search or the wish list?
Figured out how to purchase! Duh. Now I need to figure out how to load onto a new Apple device.

When downloading is complete, I can not see, run, nor access the file; it only appears in the "Downloads" window (and not the specified folder) and the only options permitted are to delete it, or to go to the download web site; what's blocking it?

My PC's OS is 'MS Windows Vista Home Premium'. As my initil question states: When downloading, after the download completes, I can not see, run, nor access the file in it's designated folder. The download only appears in the "Downloads" window and the only "Right Click" options permitted are to "Remove From List", "Select All", & "Copy Download Link" I also can not double click to run it. What's blocking it?
I have a similar problem when accessing .zip files that are attachments to my emails. Here, however, I can place the file in a designated folder, however, the .zip file and it's compressed content files are file-typed as "FireFox Document" and I get permissions errors when running an unzip tool.
Why are my download files being quarantined ??? Is there a security setting option I need to change???
To get around this, I'm using IE to download and install these files, but switching back & forth between FireFox & IE is a real pain.

It's your anti-virus not working correctly while scanning. You can turn off the option to scan in Firefox's '''about:config''' by filtering for '''browser.download.manager.scanWhenDone''' and double-clicking that line to change the value to '''false'''

Where did the Safari Download window go?

I downloaded a file via Safari and the Download Window did not spawn. I clicked on Window and the Download item is gone.
Also, when I took this screenshot and tried to save it as a jpg image, the Save As option in Preview is gone and you must now use Export. Sadly, the Export options does not tell you what size the resulting file is.
Any help is appreciated.
Az

Thank you!
Is there a way to get a separate window that is persistant and wont fade out when I click somewhere else?

"etc" is also not enough.
You download drivers for Windows and Lion only supports Windows 7.

Drag File From Safari Download Window to Other Volume - Moves not Copies File - Bug or Feature ?

Hi,
Appreciate comment on what I thought was unusual Mac OS behavior. Running Safari 5.1.5, OS 10.6.8.
Mac OSs in my experience copy a file when it is dragged and dropped to another volume/drive. (Let's leave classic desktop out of this.)
It may be the first time I've ever done it in any version of Safari, but just dragged a file directly from the Safari Downloads panel onto another drive's icon - and it appeared to "move" the file from its original download destination to the other drive and not simply copy it onto the other drive.
Didn't look like a copy and standard Finder delete since I didn't see file in the trash, although it was gone from the finder window for the download folder (Desktop in my prefs), and afterwards Safari Download Window magnifying glass icon "can’t show the file “filename” in the Finder because “filename” has moved since you downloaded it." It's reproducible.
Assuming it's not unique to my configuration, is this a bug or "feature" ?
Thanks.

HI,
From the Safari Menu Bar click Safari/Preferences then select the General tab.
You can deselect: Open "safe" files after downloading.

Downloads dragged and dropped from Firefox download window into Outlook e-mail show as file location text.

I have a user who normally can drag files from Firefox's Download window into an e-mail in Outlook and it creates an attachment of that file in the e-mail. However, lately, the dragged .pdf or whatever file only shows up as a text file location like:
\\file:%Downloads%\randomfile.pdf
It's not a link either, it's just the text.
I've tried doing a repair of Outlook.
I've uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox 19.
I've tested dragging items from the desktop to the e-mail and it works fine.
I can't drag and drop from the Downloads window to the desktop.
I just wanted to add this user is using Windows XP Pro.

I can confirm that this is an issue with the newest release of Firefox. I just upgraded my Firefox, which was previously 18.02 to 19.0 and now I'm getting the same error. It's a bug.

I am running 4.0.1 and when I download something the Download box stays blank-even though I have selected in General Preferences 'Show the downloads window when downloading a file' AND selected 'Save files to Downloads'....???

In Firefox Options / Privacy be sure "Remember download history" is checked. To see all of the options on that panel, "Firefox will" must be set to "Use custom settings for history".
To find your OS information, on your Windows desktop, right-click the My Computer icon, choose Properties, under System on that small window is info about your OS.

How do I change the download behavior so that the "save as" radio button is selected by default instead of "open with" in the download window?

For most file types whose download behavior is set to "always ask" the "save as" option is selected by default in the download window. However, for a few others the "open with" option is selected instead.
Note that Firefox is not automatically opening some files instead of saving them. I still get to choose between saving or opening them, but certain file types start with "open" selected whereas for others "save" is the default.
What I'm looking for is a way to change all file types to default to "save as" in the download window.

thank you

During and after downloads, the file is not viewable in the download window. I can find the file later by going to Explore and selecting my documents/downloads.

When I download a file the download window opens but not files are viewable. I cannot execute a file from this window. I can open the download file using Explorer and then execute the file from there. Why are the files not viewable.

In the Finder,navigate to your projec folder. Look in the Shared Items folder. Is there a video ffile inside? Does it play intact?

When i double click on and item in the firefox downloads window the item dosn't open, left clicking on the item still dose not give me the choice to "open". how to fix this problem thanks

When i double click on an item in the firefox dowloads window the item dos'nt open.Left clicking on the item dose not give me the choice to "open" the item.
the downloaded item is a pdf file of 59 kb, and was downloaded using adobe acrobat version 5

I have sort of the exact same problem. Extremely far away from user friendly
I have an second issue as well: When I hook off all-day it comes up with an 8 hour event!
And then if I put in a late start hour it pushes end time to next day due to the 8 hour event suggestion.
All in all this gives a lot of changes just to enter an event.
Command N
I learnt from your input to use this fuction. At least that comes up with a one hour event as default.

After upgrading from 3.6.16 (Mac) to v. 4, the "organize Bookmarks" menu item is gone. Also, the Downloads window will not come up (I have reset the Toolbars as suggested elsewhere.)

The above says it all:
No "Organize Bookmarks" item at all in the Bookmarks menu.
I have the prefs set to display the Downloads window when downloading, but it doesn't appear. Downloads do happen correctly. Clicking on the Downloads item in the Tools menu does nothing. I reset toolbars as suggested somewhere else on the troubleshooting site - no joy.

Thanks re: Bookmarks.
After going through all the routines suggested in the link above (and other related links,) I got the Downloads window to open when making a new download, but clicking on Downloads in the Tools menu still will not reveal the window manually.

Selecting item in combo box itemEditor, after passing it's dataprovider from a popup window

Hi..
I have a datagrid which has a combo box itemeditor in the first column. When I click on the combobox, there is an item called 'Search'. When this is selected, a pop up window appears where we can search for some contact names. The search results are populated in List component, within the pop up and on double click of any of the names from the list, all of the list content is passed on as dataprovider to the combobox itemeditor of the grid. It works fine till here. Now, how can I highlight the selected name(name on which I double click, in the list of the pop up window), as the 'selectedItem' of the combobox itemeditor? ie., as soon as I double click the name, that name should appear on that combo box. As of now, wehn I double click, the search result names are passed on as dataprovider to the combobox, but a blank entry will be selected in th combobox, instead of the selected name from teh list of the pop up window. Can you please help me out on how to achieve this? I had been cracking my head for 2days now, hasn't worked out yet for me

Hi...
there are two events which have been used, one is doubleclick event and the other one is on selecting the item from the list and clicking on OK button(this will be the most frequently used function, i cannot use event target event for this OK button... ) . I have attached the screen shot. Please have a look at it and let me know how can i achieve that...
I can use custom event, but the main problem is that the inline itemeditor's details are not accessible in the code.... I can access some function from within the inline itemeditor combo box using outerDocument.myFunction() (this is something like GET). Is there a similar way, to SET the data into this itemeditor?
