Unknown file downloaded and then trashed
I was just downloading an audiobook (which I do often) and saw in my downloads file called gamemaster 1.1 which I don't remember downloading (Dec 1) and can't imagine how it could have happened. It is now in my trash so I am thinking that it might have been a grandchild who did something but I don't remember any of them being here on that day at all. I am worried about a virus or spyware causing that and don't know what it is. Is there a program that I can safely use to find out? I have had my iMac for almost a year and don't have any antivirus or spyware programs on the computer but my old PC paranoia has me worried. If anyone knows what this program is (Gamemaster 1.1 pkg) and if it can cause harm please let me know. Hope this question makes sense. I am not on a network. I have a modem so no other computers are connected to this one.
Thank you
If this isn't the right forum for this question, pleast let me know where to post it.

You can do a Google search for Gamemaster. Ask everyone in your household that uses the computer.

My download was an unknown file type and cannot be opened
my download was an unknown file type and cannot be opened
Sounds like the file extension was dropped when you saved your converted document. Make sure that the .docx (Word) or .xlsx (Excel) extension appears after your file name when saving your document.
You should be able to rename the document you already converted by adding the appropriate extension. The file should then open as expected.
Let us know how it goes!

Hi - I need to download an iPad update and when I do the file successfully downloads and then proceeds to "progressing" then times out - I think it is my firewall but I have turned off all firewalls
If it scare y ou then take the machien back and ask the Apple Store to do this for you. What has probably filled your computer is large libraries such as music, photos and movies. Apple explains how to move those libraries to an external HD. Please read:

I have an application on 4 computers. On 3, PDF files open as they should, withing the application. On the fourth the file is placed in "downloads" and then opens in a separate tab on the desktop(not inside the application). Any ideas on settings that might be causing this? It happens whether the application starts in IE11, Google Chrome or Firefox.
This happens whether the "client" signs in over the internet or directly to the local host server.
Thanks in advanceOne thing worth to check out: https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/using/display-pdf-browser-acrobat-xi.html

I am trying to log into a web based system, called Mortgage Coach from my laptop, in order for me to log onto Mortgage coach a message says that I need to download Adobe flash 11.1. Adobe cannot be installed until Mozilla is closed. I do not know how to close Firefox so that I can do the Adobe download and then reopen again to have Firefox. Help!
After the file is downloaded, you begin the installation. When the installation starts, bring Firefox down with "Alt+F" (File) > Quit that is the proper way to bring Firefox down.
If Firefox is still running after a few minutes then take firefox.exe down from the Windows Task Manager, from the "Processes" Tab. Also you might want to take down the plugin-container.exe as well. -
Apple updates start to download and then stop inexplicably after about 4,7Mb
Apple updates start to download and then stop inexplicably after about 4,7Mb with message download server unavailable or download file can not be read. This is a recent problem on my Macbook Pro.
Any ideas?Your problem is that everyone seems to be using the same iTunes store account (ID). That's fine when a family wants to share purchased items, but that's the rub - everyone is tapping into the same account, so they can download whatever is available.
As for icloud accounts, icloud is designed for single user use. If multiple users share the same icloud account then all their devices will be synced together - same emails, same contacts and calendars, same notes, etc. There is no privacy or division of data in this scenario. The usual advice is for everyone to have their own ID for icloud, and share the family ID for iTunes store. -

Probably it is a bug in excel

I have tried to download FireFox 4 and earlier versions from several different website, thinking the files might have gotten corrupted, and each time I download the file the exact same thing happens, the file downloads and the file gets extracted but when the extraction completes the small window dissappears and nothing else happens.
My machine is a Windows Vista 64 bit system and I've tried downloading the file with my 32 and 64 bit Internet Explorer but nothing seems to work. Can someone help me please because I would love to be able to completely delete I.E.Hi, thanks for your Flash file info. Well you must have been doing it right, since all of your Flash files for IE and FF are correct.
The SWF plugin for FF and the SWO for IE are also correct.
You shouldn't be having any problems with Flash Player.
What you can try is to turn off the hardware acceleration feature. Go to any video, like youtube and right click on the video and click on Settings. Display Settings is where you will UN check hardware acceleration.
See if that helps. Let me know.
Thanks,

What's wrong with the IOS5 download, it downloads and then after its finished it says server timed out, how do i sort this out?
The Firefox versions which come with many Linux distros have the default Mozilla Firefox updater disabled and use the distros built-in updater.

Does any one know how to attach a document from your mail, while you are already in your e-mail, meaning not having to look for your file first and then open the e-mail.
Luis
Good question - and one that a lot of (business) people would like solved!
Your question prompted me to do some research, and I found this workaround posted by Scott Grossberg:
His solution actually addresses a second problem too - how to attach a document when replying to an email message. In your case you may not need to consider the "reply" aspect - but if not right now, it'll come in useful someday!
I've pasted it verbatim - if it works for you (it does for me) then all credit goes to Scott for solving the problem. There's just one thing I'd add to his solution: you will probably want to rename the message, as by default Goodreader gives it the Subject line: Mail with GoodReader attachments.
THE GOODREADER OPTION
1. CREATE the document you want to send.
2. SAVE it to GoodReader (this will require you to buy and install the app).
3. Go to your email and OPEN the email thread to which you want to Reply and attach your file.
4. COMPOSE your Reply.
5. DOUBLE TAP the message.
6. TAP SELECT ALL. This will copy the entire email thread.
7. OPEN GOODREADER on the iPad and go to the file you want to send as part of your Reply.
8. At the bottom of the GoodReader screen you will see an EXPORT icon (it looks like a rectangle with an arrow pointing to the right).
9. TAP the Export button.
10. TAP EMAIL FILE. Depending on your needs, tap either SEND FILE “AS IS” or “FLATTEN ANNOTATIONS.” This will open a compose message screen with the chosen document already attached.
11. TAP in the body of the email screen. TAP PASTE. This will place your composed Reply and the prior email thread into the message.
12. ENTER the Recipients’ names in the TO: field of your message.
13. SEND your email Reply.
The modified version (= when composing a new message rather than a reply):
1 Make sure that the doc you want to attach is saved in GoodReader
2 In the message you are composing, double tap, select all, and then copy.
3 Open GoodReader and select the file you want to attach
4 Select the export button at the bottom of screen
5 Select e-mail file
6 Position cursor in body of the email message, tap and paste. You may want to delete the "sent from GoodReader" text that precedes the attachment.
7 Rename your message (as by default it will be Mail with GoodReader attachments)
8 Add the recipient's address in the To field.
Hope this helps! All thanks to Scott for this workaround. -
When trying to update an app, it partially downloads and then displays the message "unable to download item" Please try again later. This happens on any app I try. I have tried deleting the app and reinstalling with same results. What can I do?
I have the same thing happening on my iPod Touch 5th gen. Been happening for at least a month. I have updated to the most recent version of iOS which hasn't solved the issue. Must be a bug that they didn't get around to resolving yet, a year later. Really annoying to have it pop up when you are in the middle of a game though.

A dialog will continue to appear on both my iPhone 4 and iPad (1st Gen) when downloading an update or purchasing a new app from the iOS app store. The dialog stats that "Example app and 11 others could not be downloaded" and then once I tap "Ok" it will allow me to continue updating or purchasing all applications including the example app listed. My iTunes Store (Apple ID) account is fine and I've tried resetting and restarting but not restoring. I'd like to resolve the issue without a restore if possible. I'd like to get the dialog to cease. As I mentioned it is not tied to one device but my account when updating or purchasing applications.
