When I try to save an email attached file, the file name is automatically convertied to "attachment.ashx" although the correct file type is recognized. How do I retain the original file name?

This problem occurred after the most recent update to firefox 8.0.
After right clicking on the attached file, I click on save link as.
The correct file type is recognized. However the file name is converted to "attachment.ashx".
When I rename the file, it downloads properly and is opened by the appropriate program.
However, I should not have to rename each downloaded file.
In particular, this is happening with Word files and with Scientific Notebook (.tex) files.

Cor-el, thank you for your advice. I was able to navigate to my Profile Folder and I deleted the mimeTypes.rdf file. I then closed Firefox and restarted it. The problem was still there, and I found that the mimeTypes.rdf file had been re-created.
I tried your second suggestion, but the files you mentioned were not present so there was nothing to reset.
Any other suggestions?

    When I try to save or email a document, I get a message that "the disc is full trying to write to MAC HD.  free some space on this drive, or save the document to another disc."  I can't figure out how to save to another disc.  And, when I check the available memory, my computer has  1 GB of available memory.  I closed all programs and deleted the "trash" items.  Any suggestions?  Thanks

    Disk space and memory are two different things.
    This is system memory (RAM):
    This is disk space:

    Don't neglect to look for potentially deleted email messages, iPhoto items or iMovie clips that may have been moved to their own Trash. These must be "emptied" separately.

    If you have Restricted your MAIN account in the perental controls that may be the reason. You may have to create a new Administrators account to change the settings on the parent controls.
    Not sure as I have never used that feature on any computer I own.

    When I try and download an email attachment on safari it goes to parallels and I am not able to open it. What shoul I do?

    Redirect the saving of the attachment to a folder of your choice. There is a setting for saving attachment to a specific folder and another that allows you to chose which folder everytime you save an attachment.

    If you purchased about 2 years ago new I am sure it is a Intel iMac. To find out what type of iMac you have just click on the Apple menu item in the finder and select about this Mac. I would check the ISP mail site and get the correct outgoing mail server info.

    Let me guess: you're using a Hotmail account.
    Look what I've found, it seems to have to do with MS Silverlight. Update that, and all should be good.

    If it's not MobileMe, use Safari to access the server directly and delet from there. If it is MobileMe, do the same thing but from your computer as the iPad Safari won't connect to MobileMe mail.

  • WHY MUSE 2014.3 crashes when I try to SAVE or SAVE AS ?

    theEvaSite,
    I had something similar happen to me yesterday and after contacting Adobe Support, I had to send in my file so they could repair it. There are several other cases of issues when downloading the update, uploading files, etc. If you can open the file inside the new 2014.3 update, make changes, but cannot save or upload to FTP, etc...it's probably a file error issue that occurred after the 2014.3 update. The tech told me to downgrade back to the previous version for the time being so that I can still work and update the website. That requires an older file that was not converted after the update though. Hopefully you back up your muse files.
    To downgrade and work around this, uninstall the Muse app. Delete preferences. Go back to the CC panel/dashboard and install the previous 2014.2.1 version at the bottom (you'll have to click on the little arrow/gear icon just above the muse install button to select "Previous Version."
    This worked for me. Hope it helps

    Since Photos, I notice that in Mail when I try to save a  picture it goes to iPhoto as before not Photos?  Is there a preference setting somewhere?
    GH

    How are you saving the picture.  Are you selecting the Export to Photos option in this contextual menu?
    Currently that contextual menu doesn't work.  You can drag the photo from the email window to the Photos icon in the Dock or drag the photo to the Desktop and import from there.  Then delete the copy on the Desktop.  Tell Apple about this bug in Mail/Photos via https://www.apple.com/feedback/photos.html

  • It seems like I now will have to switch to Chrome or IE in order to be able to interact with youtube videos? When I try to save a video to a play list I get a r

    Just started having issues when I use youtube. According to what I am hearing about this It seems like I now will have to switch to Chrome or IE in order to be able to interact on youtube ? Is that true? When I try to save a video to a play list I created, I get a red warning pop bar up that says "Invalid Request" and it will not let me do it anymore. Also, I can no longer post a comment on video's that I view either. Do you know what is causing this and is there a fix, without having to switch to Google Chrome of IE?

    According to some forum posts, this is a side effect of one or more downloaders, such as Download Helper. You either can disable that add-on while this is worked out (assuming no update has yet been issued) or try modifying one of its preferences in the about:config preference editor.

    On the preference change, here are the steps. Note: I haven't tried this myself.
    (1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
    (2) In the filter box, type or paste '''dwh''' and pause while the list is filtered
    (3) Double-click '''dwhelper''.''yt-visitor-cookie''' and edit the value from remove to keep. Reload the YouTube page and try saving the video to your playlist again.

    Does Save As-work?
    Boilerplate-text:
    Are Photoshop and OS fully updated?
    As with all unexplainable Photoshop-problems you might try trashing the prefs (after making sure all customized presets like Actions, Patterns, Brushes etc. have been saved and making a note of the Preferences you’ve changed) by keeping command-alt-shift pressed on starting the program or starting from a new user-account.
    System Maintenance (repairing permissions, purging PRAM, running cron-scripts, cleaning caches, etc.) might also be beneficial, Onyx has been recommended for such tasks.
    http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/system_disk_utilities/onyx.html
    Weeding out bad fonts never seems to be a bad idea, either. (Validate your fonts in Font Book and remove the bad ones.)
    If 3rd party plug-ins are installed try disabling them to verify if one of those may be responsible for the problem.

  • HT3228 When I try to send an email from my Iphone it will not send and tells me the recepient will not allow relaying.  The email will sit in my outbox and then at some point will send.  It sometimes takes days.  What is wrong with my settings?

    When I try to send an email either new, or reply on my phone I receive a notification that recepient will not allow relaying.  The email will then sit in my outbox.  At some point it will send but it is hardly dependable.  What is wrong with my settings?

    The collum to the right listed similar problems.  The solution appears to be that under smtp outgoing settings the user name and password are listed as optional.  I have not plugged in the information and it seems to be working.  However from my office it always allowed the relaying.  The true test will be when I try to respond later from the road.
    Thank you for your help.

  • TS3899 When I try to send an email on iPad, it goes to outbox and stays there? I get a message that I have exceeded my output limit. I don't think this is accurate because I don't send that many messages. Maybe 30 a day. Please advise. Thanks

    Question? When I try to send out email on my ad address, it goes to the outbox and stays there. The message is something like, you have exceeded your limit on messages so your message will be stored in the outbox. I don't send more than 30 emails a day, and i use two other email addresses. What can I do?

    Change the password on that e-mail account. It's possible that your account has been hacked/spoofed and spammers have used it to blast out junk, leaving you to 'pay the price'. If it's one where you can contact the company, contact them and ask them what's going on. (if this is g-mail, yahoo, hotmail, don't bother, there's no way to contact any sort of support)
