Setting download location

I am just now trying Safari Version 3.1 for Windows, and I am having an issue with entering the download location.
When I go to the "Save download files to:" entry and select "Other", the only choices I am given are "Desktop" and "Links". I use a completely different directory for downloads, and there is no way offered for me to set that.
Do any of you know how I can get Safari to use the download location that I want instead of it forcing me to select from a small and (for me) useless subset of the available directories on my computer?
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for your reply.
Given that with your Safari installation, you can see your F: drive, I guess that there is something about my Windows setup that prevents Safari from looking anywhere but in my "Desktop" folder when the selection list for download directories is brought up.
What could affect this?
IE, Firefox, and Opera have no problem seeing my C: drive, so what is it about Safari that would prevent that filesystem from being viewable? If this has to do with ownership or file permissions, then Safari clearly has a problem with this, given that the other browsers (and, in fact, all other installed software) are able to see and access my C: drive.
By the way, I have completely uninstalled and reinstalled Safari. After the uninstall, I removed all leftover files and directories and all remaining registry entries that referred to Safari. After the reinstallation, the problem persisted.
Thanks again.

  • How do I set download location to sd card? on galaxy s3

    4.1.2

    Hey garyduff12!
    To Waka_Flocka_Flame: I don't mean to take over this post but I feel this way would be easier than changing/making new folders in directories.
    garyduff12: Here is my way to change download location to your SD card. Press ALT click Options>and check the box that says '''Always ask me where to save files''' then click OK. You have to point your saved file to your SD card location then when you want to save another file, it should actually point to the SD card again as long as it is plugged in.
    Thanks!

  • Setting shared VMware folder as default download location

    I have Arch set up in a VM and have my data folders shared from my host. I want to set the default download location of the Arch guest to the shared downloads folder from the host. I am unable to though, I have to create a folder within the shared folder to do so. I'm guessing it is because I am using a symbolic link to link the shared folders into my ~/.

  • Safari's download-location selector too big for screen?

    Any one else got this one?
    When I try to select the "Other" download location in Safari preferences, the resulting pulldown dialog for selecting the location is so huge it spans off the right side and below the bottom of the screen, so I can't drag-resize it, or even click "choose" or "cancel".
    Yes, I can just press Esc, or double click on the folder I want, but still this is a bizarre bug which should be easy to fix.
    Safari 3.1.1

    Does not happen for me in Safari 3.1.1. But, to correct your issue try this: open Safari Preferences > General tab and select download location: Other. With the (too-large) dialog box open, press the option key and select Window menu > Arrange in Front. That should bring the resize handle into view at the bottom right, and you can shrink the dialog box down (and that smaller size should be preserved).
    If that fails, again with the too-large dialog box open, select System Preferences > Displays and set the resolution to something very small (e.g. 640x480), then after the switch, immediately change it back to your native resolution - that should shrink the dialog box back down to a reasonable size.
    Hope this helps...

    Thanks for the quick response. No, I did not get any error messages or any terms-of-usage screen. The employee I told my problem to was not computer savvy either. She just suggested I move to different spots w/in the library to see if that would make a difference. It didn't. When I connected to the library WiFi it did change the Verizon 3G that is usually in the upper left corner to iPad with two to three emanating arcs. I may have to go to the library in the next town. I was able to connect to theirs in the past when I had to download something greater than 20 MB. Unless I really want it, I will probably not even try to download something more than 20 MB due to the hassle. Yeah, I may have been better off getting a normal desktop or laptop and getting WiFi at home. To do that now would mean having my iPad 2 and a desktop computer, which I feel is extravagant. (I know there are a lot of big spenders out there who got the iPad as additional gadget for fun. This is a rich country.) A Verizon rep told me I couldn't set up a WiFi router at home just using an iPad. So it seems like a person who just uses 3G is limited to surfing the net (not even much YouTube because it eats a lot of data) and using email. I read about an app that helps print wirelessly using 3G, but a reviewer said you had to be an engineer to get it done right. BTW, I like the Steelers. I'm old enough to remember Franco Harris and that blond guy whose name escapes me back in the '70s. Since I live in North Jersey I feel I have to support the Giants. But I know football about as well as computers.

  • Set Datasource Location does nothing???

    I dont get it...
    I have reports that are fed by SQL Server stored procedures.  Every now and then the developers will change some minor thing in one of the procedures (maybe a Group by or Order by change) and then rename the stored procedure.  So for example....
    USP_RPT_MYREPORT gets a minor update and gets renamed to USP_RPT_MYNEWREPORT...
    (I am over-simplifying, but you get the idea...)
    I go into Crystal Reports in Visual Studio and select the "Set Datasource Location" choice off the menu.  There, right on the darn screen that comes up it says "highlight the new datasource and click the Update button"...  I do that, and absolutely NOTHING happens, NOTHING changes, NOTHING gets updated.  I've done this about 20 times and now and every time, same thing - NOTHING happens.
    But if I go into the Database Expert, highlight my existing stored proc, and then hit "F2" to rename the alias, and set it to the new stored proc name - BING!!!  Everything works just fine.
    I looked in the Crystal documentation but of course, nothing there to illuminate whats going on with this seemingly useless "Set Datasource" selection...  So...
    What is this for?  What is it all about?  ...and why doesnt it work?
    Any help would be appreciated and sorry in advance for being frustrated - I work in Crystal...

    Thanks for the response and the attemp to help, but this cannot be quite correct - at least it does not seem so.  How do I know this?....
    Well, I have 2 stored procedures that are almost exactly alike - the only difference is the ORDER BY clause in the SQL itself (so this should have NO effect on Crystal)...
    I use the Set Datasource selection and yes, you are right, it DOES NOT change the name from my old Stored Procedure to the new one.  But if you are suggesting that it DID actually change where its pointing I dont believe you are correct because of this...
    The report itself has 3 Groups - these group headers are "tied" to the first stored procedure and even though I change the datasource (supposedly), these groups DO NOT change and thus when I run the report I get an error stating that the "Groupings do not exist"...
    In other words lets say the first stored procedure is called "SP1" and I am changing to a virtually identical stored procedure called "SP2".  Sure enough, when I use Set Datasource, the name DOES NOT change - it still says SP1...  But when I run the report the Grouping dies because nothing changed it to "SP2".  In fact, the Groups now say "???"
    What is particularly odd and frustrating about this (and also the sign of a very poorly QA'd product) is that if I go into the Database Expert and simply press "F2" and change the alias from SP1 to SP2, that seems to do the very thing that Set Datasource seems entirely unable, undesigned and unwilling to do.
    Bear in mind here that I have worked with Crystal for 3 very painful years and when any fields (columns) change in the backend SQL, I understand that it takes hours to rework the entire report - its stupid, it shouldnt take that long, but I have just accepted it with this klunky product - but when NO fields change it seems to me that should be very easy to manage and yet the only way I have found to do it is to try Set Datasource, watch it fail again and again and then use the Database Expert (and the F2 key in there) to rename the alias.
    In all the Crystal documentation I have (downloaded, and came with product) there is not one line I can find that talks about what Set Datasource is supposed to do, and should be doing.
    Anything that would make my life easier with this sometimes beastly product would be most appreciated.

  • Software Update Download Location

    Hi all
    Wonder if you can help. I want to set up the servers software update facility but have it download the files onto an external HD.
    To confess I don't know what I'm doing in terminal but have tried to follow the Server manual but with no joy.
    Any way the external drive name is:
    VTrak RAID
    and the folder on their that I'd like all the packages downloaded into is:
    Apple Software Updates.
    I have been into terminal and followed the instructions:
    To delete the software update folder in Terminal:
    $ sudo rm -rf /usr/share/swupd/html
    And then tried to create a symbolic link as so:
    $ ln -s /newstoragelocation /usr/share/swupd/html
    I enter the following (which I'm assuming is wrong)
    $ ln -s /VTrak RAID/Apple Software Updates /usr/share/swupd/html
    Would anyone mine posting the correct way to get the packages to download into the appropriate folder
    Secondly I under stand that to get the client to see the server (instead of Apple) you do the following in terminal:
    sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.softwareupdate CatalogURL http://your.server.com:8088/
    enter password and it should see your server. However if I **** it up or should just want to change back to the Apples server does any one know the address for that.
    Sorry that it's long and appreciate you input.
    Steve
    PS if any one form Apple reads these forums. Why not have a choose download location button in Server Admin and a choose update server button in client.. Then we'd not need terminal.... Remember user friendly....lol

    How do I get permission - normally terminal will ask for a password but not this time
    Really? when? Terminal never asks for a password when creating links.
    Maybe you're thinking of sudo, which may ask for a password to elevate your privileges before running the command, but your example didn't use sudo.
    Additionally, even with sudo the command won't do what you want. The permissions it's complaining about is more likely to be the fact that the original /usr/share/swupd/html directory already exists, in which case ln is trying to create a link to the external RAID within the existing directory and you don't have permission to change that directory. You will need to remove the existing directory in order to turn it into a link.
    The other option, of course, is to change the apache configuration so that it just reads from the RAID directly (you may need to do this anyway in order to tell Apache to follow symlinks).
    Therefore your best option may just be to edit the DocumentRoot directive in /etc/swupd/swupd.conf

  • ITunes file download location

    How can I change my itunes's file download location?

    iTunes preferences -> Advanced -> iTunes Music Folder location
    Note that this will only change where future purchases and imports go. If you want to move your existing tracks as well, set the preference to the appropriate location and then use the Consolidate Library command under the Advanced menu.

  • Need help changing the default download location in Firefox3.6.16

    <blockquote>Locking duplicate thread.<br>
    Please continue here: [/questions/808920]</blockquote><br>
    I have been having default download location problem for over a year now and no one has been able to offer a solution so if you can figure this out, well, I can't say enough good about you.
    Here's my problem. I'm an online math instructor for a college. I use Firefox 3.6.16, and have also tried the latest version. Os is Vista. Students email me Microsoft Word 2007 documents every day as attachments to email. I click on the documents, make corrections and when I go to save their document to my computer, the default always wants to save it in a temp file! I read where Firefox is supposed to default save in the desktop (which is where I want it to default to, but that never happens). When the save defaults to the temp file, I have to scroll up numerous files and find the desktop option and click it to save it on the desktop. This is not a huge deal until you have to do it for 90 students and then it becomes time consuming.
    Numerous times I have followed the standard process of (TOOLS>OPTIONS>SAVE FILES TO DESKTOP) within Firefox but that never works. I've reinstalled Firefox, that doesn't work. I've also tried to change the "Save Options" settings within Word 2007 and that hasn't solved the problem either. Please advise if you have a solution. Thanks in advance!

    Freeway allows you to inject code into the HTML of the page. Upload the movie file to a folder on your server and reference it in the code.
    <script src="http://www.domain.com/Folder-Name/QT-JS.js" language="javascript"> </script>
    <script language="javascript">
    QT_WriteOBJECT('http://www.domain.com/Folder-Name/Movie.mp4' , '640', '496', '', 'AUTOPLAY', 'false', 'CONTROLLER', 'true', 'VOLUME', '50', 'KIOSKMODE', 'true', 'SCALE', 'Aspect') ;
    </script>
    If you are going to go this route it would be better to use HTML5 with flash fallback to cover all browsers and devices...

  • After I have migrated a 'master' profile into another, the browse button (for a download location) in Options, General doesn't work anymore. How can I fix this?

    Hi Supporters,
    I've been struggling with this some time (downloading / saving problems) and tried all kinds of variations. But I'll keep it simple for now.
    As a test .. I've just created a fresh firefox profile. Checked out if could change the download location, through the Browse button, and indeed that worked. I got an explorer dialog to choose a folder.
    Normally I would do the options, manage the search engines, do some layout stuff etc etc in order to get some 'baseline / master' profile I can evolve further into other more extended profiles. So you see this master profile will get copied into another one.
    But, having copied that fresh profile (having done nothing yet) into another seems to disable choosing another download folder. The Browse button in Options > General does not work anymore.
    There's more. If I browse to, say, C:\ as default download location but then enable 'ask me where to save ..' in the fresh profile and then copy this profile to another one .. if I then want to change the download location (which shows C:) it jumps to Desktop and again the Browse button won't work.
    This is driving me mad. Any ideas? Sorry for the long story, hope it helps.

    Hi guys,
    @cor-el: getting rid of not needed parts is what I always do. Besides prefs and localstore, only the search-metadata and permissions / signons are passed along. Oh, forgot to mention the mimetypes.
    No, my point is why is FF looking for those folders when there's no mentioning of these to be found in my options? Not even in de about:config ... When I state C:\ as my downloads location it's absurd to check any other folder first, which FF seems to do before giving me an explorer window showing .. C:\ as a starting point. Like my unrestricted laptop does.
    @jscher2000: Even if there are pointers to those default folders, FF should not be checking those. When I state C: I mean C: (see my answer above).
    No, I'm convinced this is a bug unless someone knows a way to stop that folder checking. And to be honest, the not working Browse button is the least of my problems (I use: ask everytime where). No it's the saving that is the problem. But I guess the underlying problem is the same. Saving / downloading, what's in a name ..
    Guys, thanks for your help ! I can't fix a bug so I'm going to let it be. I'll rebuild my master and will keep checking of saving a website becomes a problem somewhere. Mind you, the solutions offered in kb.mozillazine.org/Unable_to_save_or_download_files didn't work.
    Oh well, I'll keep my fingers crossed :)
