Some downloads show up in the downloads window as "cancelled", and although I can resume the download by clicking on the icon, the download doesn't then show up in the target folder--how can this be fixed?

This happens a lot when I try to download and ".exe" file. I first get the window and click that I want to save the file. Then I select the folder to save it to. Then the Firefox download window opens and the file is listed, but it says "canceled". I click the circular arrow (or right click and select "retry"), and the file then shows as downloading in the Firefox download window. But then if I right click on it, the option to open the file or the folder containing it is greyed out, and, if I go to Windows Explorer to look for the file in the folder where it was supposed to be saved, it is not there. (I checked the download help topics and couldn't find an answer to this problem.)

Hi Frustratedannon!
I completely understand your frustration regarding these issues. Allow me to suggest a couple of things that may help lessen your frustration and resolve some issues. First, you should look to see if you have Automatic Downloads activated on your iPad (it could explain why the Simpsons game would have showed up on your iPad out of the blue):
iTunes Store: How to enable Automatic Downloads
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4539
In order to actually get rid of the Simpsons app or finish downloading it, you may need to try turning off your iPad, then turning it back on. You also may need to try a reset, which is a simple power cycle procedure that does not affect your data on your iPad. Both of these steps are explained in the following article:
Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset

Take care, and thanks for visiting the Apple Support Communities.

My Wifi doesn´t work. The Wifi icon on top menu bar states there is no hardware connected. How can I resolve this as previously Wifi connection worked perfectly. Is this something that to do with the computer hardware? Please advise.

I would really like to find a means and way to save them other than on the phone itself. I've done searches for various apps yet I'm not finding what I think I would need. It appears Apple does not sync the texts between the iphone and my MacBook Pro.
Try the computer apps PhoneView (Mac) or TouchCopy (Mac & PC):

Mavericks doesn't appear in application folder, how can I get it there?
It is downloaded. I can see it in Launchpad, when I click on it will open en start the installation, but that's not what I want, I want to have the program in the application folder. I hope someone knows how?

Click the installer in Launchbar so it opens, don't proceed with the installation!
Look in your Dock for the installers Application icon.
Command+Click this icon in the Dock
A Finder window should appear with the installer selected, you can 'Get Info' on that item to see the full file path to work out where it is, or enable the 'Path bar' in Finder's view menu, that also shows the folder path to the selected item.
If you are hoping to install 10.9 on another Mac you may find it is best to create a bootable installer on a USB disk…

I have an old mpg video file, taken with a very early model "smart phone", that opens and plays fine in my newly "rebuilt" iPhoto library. I cannot open, edit it or share it with any other software. How can I fix it, to be able to do anything with it?
Detail:
I've recently purchaced a 4TB Thunderbolt drive to store my "vast" music and photo libraries. iPhoto had an issue reading the moved library, so I bought and used iPhoto Library Manager to "rebuild" it. Apart from much of the original data such as date taken & camera used etc, it appears to be working well. The aforementioned mpg video was taken some 9 years ago, using an early model "iMate" smart phone, and opens and plays fine on iPhoto, but I cannot open it with anything else, (I've tried iMovie, VLC players, Wondershare and Handbrake) nor can I share it. I just want to edit it, and share it with family.
Any help would be appreciated...

No - not iMovie, VLC, Wondershare or Handbrake... Quick time starts with a "CONVERTING", then I get
I've looked at the "tell me more" links, tried downloading some of the movie players there. I'm begining to think the file is corrupt.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
I don't think you can. You might ensure that their creation dates are in order, but I'm not so such that will help. Ordering seems to be a feature limited to use with iPhoto/Aperture.

After burning a successful DVD in iDVD out of FCPX, how can I see the settings it used?
So I finally burned a DVD out of a Apple Pro Res file into iDVD in PAL format. My question now is how can I find out what the exact burn properties were so that I can apply the same burn properties to a project in Compressor 4?
Is it possible to see what iDVD did?

I don't know any way you can interrogate iDVD to reveal settings to the extent that you can in a Compressor project. What you could do is open up the show's VOB in MPEG STreamclip, go to File and Reveal Stream Information; that will at least give you some rudimentary info like average bit rate. Perhaps someone, with more iDVD experience, can chime in here.
The broader question is why use Compressor at all if your current workflow is doing the job to your satisfaction?
The value of Compressor is that it gives you control over the many parameters that affect size quality. and playability. The Compressor presets can give you a starting point for DVD delivery, Web, etc. From those presets, people typically experiment by adjusting the parameters until they get the desired results for their specific show. It's a little bit science and a little bit art. After experimenting, you may be able to get slightly better quality for the project you've successfully burned in iDVD by using Compressor and something likeToast…or maybe not.
Good luck.

Every time I put a movie on itunes then it comes to home movies. Howe can i solve this?

Every time I put a movie on itunes then it comes to home movies. Howe can i solve this?

In iTunes 11 that's the default behaviour. You can change this by right-clicking a title in iTunes, choosing 'Get Info' and changing the Video Kind field to "Movie" or "TV Show". You can also change it to "Music Video" but then the video will be moved to the Music section.
You can also select multiple video titles simultaniously and do the above step for all videos at once. This will save a lot of clicks if you have a long list of videos.

Hey AU Nicasio,
Thanks for the question. If the iCloud tab (and other tabs) are greyed out, and you are unable to tap on them, it sounds like Restrictions have been enabled on your device. Specifically, the Restriction titled “Allow Changes: Accounts”.
For more information, see this resource:

Hello douraid,
Start with the article below to get your iPhone to take a charge. Once you get it powered back on, you will want to sync again to make sure nothing was lost during the attempted sync.
