Can't figure out why the "Do this automatically for files like this from now on" is disabled Compressed (zipped) Folders

I recently had to uninstall and reinstall Firefox. Now with the new version it will not allow me to click the check box "Do this automatically for files like this from now on". The line is disabled and a light gray. I went into the Applications tab under options and can't find the Compressed (zipped) Folders file type either.
I download a bunch of files for work and to have to click is going to be the biggest pain. Any help will be greatly appreciated!!

Screenshot:

When downloading a file, I select "Save File", but I'm unable to check the box label "Do this automatically for files like this from now on." The box is faded out. It's very tedious when you have to select "Save File" everytime

Click on the file to download
The "Open" Dialog Box pops up
Select "Save File"
Try to click on the box labeled ""Do this automatically for files like this from now on."
The box is disable

I have everything set for Arabic fonts and the keyboard as well. When I type in WORD or EXCEL I just get individual Arabic letters, but they never connect, they should be for example like this الس but they always appear like that ا ل س

MS Word for Mac has never supported Arabic. You have to use other apps. Mellel is best, but Pages 5, TextEdit, Nisus Writer, or Open/LibreOffice should work OK.
Sometimes you can make Word for Mac do connected Arabic if you are editing a document created with Windows Word.

Download file keeps asking to save although "Do this automatically for files like this from now " is checked

After downloading a open office document from a server I always get the question to open or to save it. I checked to open the file after downloading it to a tempory map.
After downloading another open office document I always get the same question even when I checked "Do this automatically for files like this from now ".
Is there a possibility to get rid of the question?

Cor-el
Tx for the reply but no answer found in the article.
"Once you have made a selection, checking the box "Do this automatically for files like this from now on." will cause the file type and action to be displayed in the Applications tab as shown below (in this example the selected application is TextEdit)."
FF works like described in the quote but nothing about immediately opening the file with the specified program. I've tested several possibilities but I always get the question what to do before opening the file. The "automatically"-option doesn't work for open office.
Any other suggestions?

What Perspective Grid settings for something like this?

This has been confounding my for more time than I care to admit. How would I set up a Perspective Grid for something like this? I don't know where to begin. I'm used to drawing simlple buildings from an eye-level view, but obviously with something like this, the viewer is looking way up .

Hello Cheryl,
This is technically a 3P perspective; you mentioned the viewer is looking way up - such a scene is called worm's eye view.
I tried setting up a grid over the image. The point where the two red lines meet is the third Vanishing Point. The two other VPs are to be located by extending the two yellow and the two green lines till they intersect in the direction shown by the two arrows. However this will be at an infinite distance and this way the view can be thought of as 1P perspective as Jet & Michael have opined. Remember that camera lenses can create skewed and distorted perspective. Illustrator's grid cannot match that. Moreover Illustrator's grid is also limited by the application's canvas size i.e., the entire grid has to fit in the canvas. When drawing on a sheet of paper you can actually visualize one or more VP out of your drawing sheet.
Anyway the closest approximation to this kind of perspective can be achieved in Illustrator by placing the image on the top of the canvas such that the 3rd VP lies almost on the top edge of the canvas. The eye-level in case of worm's eye view is zero. So the horizon line coincides with the ground line and both lie virtually on the bottom edge of the canvas. The left & right grid will then let you to draw the walls of the building as above.

Ho do i unselect the "Do this automatically for files like this from now on." in the download dialog box?

I have mistakenly clicked on the "Do this automatically for files like this from now on" in the download dialogue box. I want to open a pdf in adobe when I click on the link. currently the file just gets saved and I cannot change it. I have read thru the suggestions and gone into tools> options> applications and reassigned all of the pdf options to ask first and firefox still just downloads the files to somewhere. I don't want this option and I need to unselect the automatic box.
How do i do so?
I would really like to talk to someone on the phone.

Ok, do this:
#Go to www.getfirefox.com, and download Firefox. Install it over your current version of Firefox
#After installing Firefox 18, then try to Reset.

Too early for the retina, too late for the non retina? Which one?

Hi everyone,
Sorry for yet another "Which MBP should I buy" post but I have read through all the of the discussions I can find on this topic as well as around the web.
I am a digital designer who is currently using a PC only because up until now I have never been in the financial position to transition over to Mac.
I am currently trying to decide between getting a a 15" Mac Book Pro or 15" Retina Mac Book Pro.
15-inch: 2.6GHz
2.6GHz quad-core Intel Core i7
8GB 1600MHz memory
750GB 5400-rpm hard drive1
Intel HD Graphics 4000
NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M with 1GB of GDDR5 memory
High res anti-glare screen
versus:
15-inch: Retina display
2.6GHz quad-core Intel Core i7
8GB 1600MHz memory
512GB flash storage1
Intel HD Graphics 4000
NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M with 1GB of GDDR5 memory
I will be using Adobe CS6 Photoshop, Illustrator, Flash and Dreamweaver sometimes all at the same time. I occasionally have a video project where I will be using Premiere and After Effects. I am also looking into upskilling myself and becoming versed in at least basic 3D modelling. I am looking at a MBP because portability is important.
Given my job, going retina seems like a no brainer but I have a few concerns:
Speed, processing power - which will suit my needs?
This is an investment for me, I want it to last at least 3-4 years:
Is getting a standard MBP now just too late and bidding in the past?
Will resale of a standard MBP suck in 3-4 years?
In 3 years time will I need an upgrade, and if so, how will I even do this with a virtually unupgradeable (from what Ive read) Retina MBP?
About 80% of the time I plan on hooking up the MBP to a Thunderbolt display - whats the point in a Retina?
If I don't get a Retina and I need to start designing Retina graphics, will I be faced with added dificulty because I use standard MBP?
Is it realistic to assume Retina graphics won't become mainstream for 3-4 years allowing me to bide my time with a standard MBP, upgrading to a Retina later?
At work I use a 2-3 year old iMac and the screen is already magical compared to my PC and it seems to do fine for me. I've been in store and played with both and I am genuinely confused. I just feel like getting a standard MBP is like jumping on a train when it's already reached it's destination.
Budget wise I can afford the base level Retina MBP I outlined above but if I can save money, that'd be ideal. Being me I will automatically chose the best possible solution but I need to be rational about my needs. Someone please help, I just want a Mac!
Thanks in advance, any help is much appreciated

In general
Retina cannot upgrade RAM. Storage can be upgraded, but more $ than upgrading the non-Retina unit.
Non-Retina unit can upgrade RAM base-4 GB to 16 GB for about $85 (cf. OWC.) HD can be replaced with SSD or larger HD.
Therefore lack of "upgradability" in Retina
No optical drive in Retina.
The non-Retina has Ethernet and FireWire ports, and a slot for a secure cable- the Retina none of these ports.

Is it too early for someone to reccomend a build with one of the new Sandy Bridge CPUs?

Hi all I need to build a new PC and was told to wait until the new Sandy Bridge CPUs were out.
This will be my first build but I'll have some help from my brother putting it together.
I'm coming from working in CS3 on Vista 32 and want to build a PC to run Windows7 64 and CS5.
As for a monitor I think I'm going to get a NEC MultiSync EA231WMi 23". The reason being it is a cheap IPS. The only other one I was looking at is a ViewSonic VP2365wb but the NEC has better reviews. If anyone has any other recommendations for an IPS in that price range, I'd be grateful.
For a case I'm going to go with a Silverstone SST-FT02B Fortress or a FRACTAL DEFINE R3.
As for the guts, I'm a little lost.
I was going to get a 60gb SSD to stick the OS on but I see Harm Millaard reccomending a Velociraptor over on this thread. I didn't know what one was but I looked it up and discovered it was a 10,000rpm 300gb hard drive that costs about $280. Is that right? Are there cheaper and smaller versions?
As anyone any reccomendations on what other Hard drives I should get and what RAID I should use? My budget for the whole build is mid range I suppose.
So that brings me to the CPU, GPU and MOBO.
Does anyone know enough about the new Sandybridge CPUs to reccomend one and which motherboard I shoud get? Do I need a seperate GPU still. People are talking about it having an integrated GPU.
I suppose I would like to have 12gb of RAM with an option to upgrade to 24. I initially thought 8gb would suffice but people on here seem to be using 12 or 24.
Thanks for any advice.

common sense Harm,
our not oced Sandy bridge ranked 13th beating any stock processor. (for some reason you have it listed as OCed)
remove the absurbly overpriced Xeons that makes it 8th
remove every OCed processor its now #1.
and its #1 without the absurd 8-12 drive raid arrays... which most people have no need for.
for the average user your recommendation like mine was the 950 stock 950 which ranks 40th is severaly beat by the 2600 not oced..
so your replacement recommendation should be as mine is, the 2600 over the 950 all day long..
anything less you are arguing with your own bencmark?
but just for giggles i am having Eric resubmit with an SSD OS and a 8 drive raid the OCed to 4.7GHz system.

Firefox will not recognize when I change the settings for .torrent and .rar files to "do this automatically for files like this from now on", EVEN AFTER I change the setting in Tools Options Applications.

Um, why is this? I think my Question pretty much covers it. Is there a way I can fix the settings so Firefox automatically opens .torrent files and .rar files with the programs I tell it to always use?

I'm sorry to hear that you didn't receive a reply to this problem. As far as I can tell, there '''is''' no reply or solution to this problem so far, as I have exactly the same problem too.
One solution that I did try (and which worked, but not for my exact needs) was to tell Firefox to ''always'' '''save''' the torrents to the download folder. Then, in your personal torrent program, change the settings so that torrents from the download folder are automatically searched and added. In this way, torrents are automatically loaded in your torrent program. However, for me, I need to see the contents of the torrent before I download it all, which wasn't possible with this method. If that isn't important to you, this should be a sufficient solution.

Lewis

Suddenly backup is too large for volume but this is NOT TRUE!

250 GB external as time machine for 250 GB internal (with only 56 GB used) on iMac
suddenly receiving this error every time
"The backup requires 5153960960.0 GB but only 185.6 GB are available" !!!!!!!!!
this is insane. without erasing the external backup and starting all over, how can I get Time Machine to fix itself and continue its backups?

OSX is clearly confused. This sounds like you may have a problem on your internal HD.
Use Disk Utility (in your Applications/Utilities folder) to do a +Verify Disk+ (not permissions) on it. If that shows errors, you'll have to boot from your Leopard Install disc to repair them. Post back if you need to do this but aren't sure how.
If no errors are found, or they're fixed and this still occurs, try a "full reset" of Time Machine as in item #B3 of the Time Machine - Troubleshooting post at the top of this forum.

When i open firefox, the, i think it's called the history menu, opens in the left had side too and i would like this to stop.

it's the bar that runs from the top to bottom of the left hand side of firefox. i have no idea how this started, it didn't do this before, and i am starting to get annoyed. i looked through the settings, and google and couldn't find how to stop it. could someone give me the step by step?

*CTRL+H opens or closes the History Sidebar (it says "History" at the top)
*CTRL+B opens or closes the Bookmarks Sidebar (it says "Bookmarks" at the top)
*For either Sidebar, clicking the small "x" to the right of "Histtory"/"Bookmarks" will close the Sidebar
*If the Sidebar is open when you close/exit Firefox, it will be there when you open/re-start Firefox.

SimpleDateFormat rolling 1 hour too early for Fall 2003?

Hey all...
My question deals with the SimpleDateFormat object, more specifically given a time in NY ( that rolls from EST to EDT and back to EST in the fall)
Currently the following code (borrowed from a previous post) works perfectly for the Spring transition from EST to EDT, i.e. GMT-5 to GMT-4 on April 6. But it seems to roll back to GMT-5 at 1AM for October 26, as opposed to 2AM as I would expect. Does anyone know why this happens?
any help would be appreciated.
thanks.

Everytime I click a link to view a wmv file the save or open dialog comes up. Do this automatically for files like this from now on is checked.

Firefox 4.0.1 ... I am running XP Home, Sp-3.
The dialog box keeps coming up. In Options/Applications
the item is set to open with the plugin.
Still the dialog come up each time, then the downloader appears and finally windows media player.
My vista machine does not have this problem. I have installed the Windows Media Player Plugin.
IE opens media player immediately.

If you can't find it there then you will have to rename (or delete) the mimeTypes.rdf file in the Firefox profile folder to reset all file actions.
