When I do a download, it is saved to a Binary File. Where are these files stored & how do you uninstall a program you don't want to keep ?

I use firefox, when I download a file from another website, there is a pop-up that shows the name of the download, which shows it is saved to a binary file, (don't know what a binary file is) but my question is where are the binary files stored on my computer & if I can uninstall it if I don't want to keep it.

    Hi Jdentremont,
    Lync client gets user photos by first querying the Address Book Web Query (ABWQ) service on the server, which is exposed through the Distribution List Expansion web service. The client receives
    the image file and then copies it to the user's cache to avoid downloading the image each time it needs to be displayed. The attribute values returned from the query are also stored in the cached Address Book Service entry for the user. The Address Book Service
    deletes all cached images every 24 hours, which means that it can take up to 24 hours for new user images to be updated in the cache on the server.
    To troubleshoot your problem, please follow the steps below:
    1.  Navigate to
     “X:\share\1-WebServices-1\ABfiles\000000000\000000000” folder. (ABS file share)
    You should see some photo files in this folder as the following screenshot.
    2. Delete all the files in this folder.
    3. On test PC, delete local cache files.
    %userprofile%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Lync\[email protected]
    4. Sign-in Lync with the test account.
    5. Go back to the ABS file share, check if there is any Photo file in the folder.
    Best regards,
    Eric

  • HT1725 I downloaded a full cd album from iTunes it said it had been downloaded but when I listened to them it only played a small part of each song then it stopped. What do i do? I don't want to have to download them again. Thanks

    I downloaded a full cd album from iTunes it said it had been downloaded but when I listened to them it only played a small part of each song then it stopped. What do i do? I don't want to have to download them again. Thanks

    Other people have been having similar problems with songs over a number of days, I assume that there has been a problem with Apple's servers.
    Depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then try deleting the incomplete tracks from your iTunes library and redownload them via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes : re-downloading.
    If you aren't in a country where you can re-download music or if they re-download in the same state then try the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via Store > View My Account and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find those songs and use the 'Report a Problem' link.

  • When i tried to download iOS8 on my iPad Mini it told me that I needed to connect my iPad to iTunes, I have done that and now it says I need to restore my iPad. How can I get my iPad working without losing everything on my iPad?

    When i tried to download iOS8 on my iPad Mini it told me that I needed to connect my iPad to iTunes, I have done that and now it says I need to restore my iPad. How can I get my iPad working without losing everything on my iPad? I don't want to lose my apps and photos!
    Help would be much appreciated!

    If you are getting the connect to iTunes screen then it's too late to take a new backup and/or copy anything off it. Prior to starting the update did you take a backup, either to the cloud and/or to your computer's iTunes ? If not then have you recently taken a backup that might have your photos and apps content/settings in it ?
    As long as the apps are still in your country's store then you should be able to redownload them via the Purchased tab in the App Store app (and the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage on your computer's iTunes), and if the apps store their content on a server/cloud service then you might be able to get their content back from that - if they store their content on the device then you will need to have a backup.
    For our photos you could try doing a search for programs that claim to be able to recover content from a device - I haven't used any so I can't suggest one.

  • When I try to open a document created in Pages, I get an error message saying "[Document Name" can't be opened."  I don't want to lose hours of work; has anyone else encountered this?

    When I try to open a document created in Pages, I get an error message saying "[Document Name" can't be opened."  I don't want to lose hours of work; has anyone else encountered this?

    A few general trouble shooting tips that may apply here:
    1. If you used Software Update to do the OS update(s) to reach 10.6.7, go to http://support.apple.com/downloads/ and download and apply the Mac OS v10.6.7 Combo Updater. The Combo Updater contains some fixes that were not included in the incremental updaters used by Software Update.
    1a. Check that you have the current version of Pages (and of the other iWork applications) installed. All three applications' current version numbers end in .0.5
    2. A common cause of malfunctioning applications is a corrupted preferences file (.plist file). Your Pages '09's plist is at yourname > Library > Preferences > com.apple.iWork.pages.plist
    Quit Pages, locate the file and Drag it to the Desktop (or to the Trash).
    Restart Pages and attempt to open one of the files.
    If all is well, Trash the plist file and empty the Trash.
    If there's no change, AND you've made changes to the Preferences that you wish to keep, drag the file back to its previous location, replacing any new one that has been created.

    Barry

  • Where are music files stored when playing a song stored in iTunes Match?

    Where are music files stored when playing a song stored in iTunes Match? Instead of clicking the cloud icon and downloading the song, I simply double click the song and it starts playing. Later, I can quite iTunes, come back and not have to wait for the song to buffer. When I go to about on my computer I am told there is 11 gigabytes of music on my computer. Where are those files stored, do they clear themeselves over time, etc...

    but then why does the FAQ state this:
    Does iTunes Match stream or download songs?
    On a computer, any songs stored in iCloud will stream over the air when played, though you can download them at any time by clicking the iCloud download button.
    Do they mean a different computer than the one with the stored music files?  Would be nice if they specified what they mean

  • Where are the files saved that someone sends you via Skype Windows8

    Hi, I just bought a new computer that has windows 8 installed on it and I must say that I was chocked when I realised that the system is like running a pad wich is so bad if you are looking to actually work with the computer. Then I installed skype and was astounded that there is nothing that you can do with it. No video call?I use skype to send files and do video calls. Now when someone sends me a file I have no choice of where that file is saved... Where are the files saved? OS: Windows 8 Thank you

  • When I back up my musical files where are they stored?

    I got a nano a couple of years ago and put all my albums on it (synced through i-tunes). I hadn't used my nano for a few months and when I went back to it my library seemed to have been replaced.......is it possible that my teenage son overwrote the nano?. Where are my files actually backed up - would it be on the laptop I used during the backup process (even though I was signed on to I-tunes at the time) or are they in fact backed up remotely through the I-tunes site.
    It is all so confusing - and frustrating.
    I searched for my song library on my Click-free back up device but it does not seem to have stored the songs.....just stored the link to I-tunes.
    Could somebody direct me on how to solve my problem.
    cheers

    Your music should be in your iTunes library on your computer, and can be synced back to your nano as you did originally.  Have you opened iTunes and clicked on Music to see if your music is still there?

  • Where are my files saving to

    Hi,
    I have an I-mac late 2011. I mostly use it for Logic Pro and general internet use. With using Logic Pro I create a lot of projects and folders so I thought it best to purchase an external HD of 1TB and save them there.
    I was sure I had set it up to save all Logic Pro files to the external HD as a default. But Ive noticed that if I forget turn on the external HD I am still able to access my Logic Pro files. Its possible I am saving duplicate copies on the external and on Imac.
    Ive been ignoring it a long time and would really like to find out where exactly these files are defaulting to, or is it both. Its confusing because, for example, I could have 50 projects saved on the External HD and maybe 80 on the Imac. Some maybe duplicated copies on both and some maybe be only one copy and only on one source. The aim is to get them all on the external HD and free up the Imac of these large Logic Pro files.
    Its a bad habit Im in and very basic knowledge I should be aware of but I really don't know what way Im saving these files and they are so important to me.
    Any help greatly appreciated
