When you download a file and choose "open with" rather than "save as", what temporary folder is the file saved to?

When I downloaded an important document, I accidentally chose "open with" rather than "save as" and I'm unable to re download the file to save it from the internet. I know its somewhere on my computer, but I can't find it! What temporary folder are the "open with" files saved to?
Thanks,
Kayla23

hello, such files will be stored in the default windows temp folder. you can get to it by pressing windows-key+R & opening: '''%temp%'''

Lost ability to right click multiple files and choose 'open with'

In XP I can select a bunch of mp3 files, for example, right click and choose 'open with...' whatever application I want.
In windows 7 I only get 'open with' in the context menu on single files. How do I enable 'open with' for a selection of files? Please tell me Windows 7 hasn't disabled this useful behaviour.

Hi,
You can change the register key to realize the function.
For example, your mp3 player is windows media player, you can copy the following content (without quote) to the notepad and save it with the “.reg” extension.
The context is below:
Warning: While this procedure might solve the issue or problem, serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly by using Registry Editor or by using another method. These problems might require that you reinstall the operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that these problems can be solved. Modify the registry at your own risk. For more information about modifying the registry, see Microsoft support article 256986.
“Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell]
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\open with]
@="open with player"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\open with\command]
@="\"C:\\Program Files\\Windows Media Player\\wmplayer.exe\" \"%1\""

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\removeproperties\DropTarget]
"CLSID"="{09a28848-0e97-4cef-b950-cea037161155}" ”
You should change the bold text with the path of your player. After you’ve changed the key, you can right click the chosen MP3 files and choose “open with player” to play the music.
If you still have some problems, please post here.

What do you do when you download a show and it has no sound? ( the volume is up on itunes and my computer)

That's what iTunes -> Preferences -> Playback -> Sound Check does - equalizes the volume across tracks to provide a more-even playback.

Did you set the file association in Bridge to open with Dreamweaver?

As the previous owner of the phone or set up your own id and passwords.
You should have perhaps thought about all of these things before buying the phone.

Safari 6.0 crash when right clicking a link and choosing open in new tab

Hi all, just a general question. I admit i did not search the forums yet. Hopefully this little annoyance can be resolved.
When using safari on say CNN.COM i'll right click on a link and choose Open in new tab. safari randomly disappears. no crash warnings, just gone. I can open it right up and be fine sometimes all day. This has happened to me about 5x since ML was released (i wiped my laptop the day it came out)
This has happened on a couple of different website at different times of the day. only safari was running. No other apple apps have this issue.
I have a MacBook Pro from earily '08 type 4,1
i have only apple software on this machine
i do have adobe flash installed v11.3 updated today.
i do have lastpass enabled
i do have ad-block disabled
While i'm waiting for help from you guys i'll disable all addon's and try to remove adobe to see if that is the issue. Is there any other steps i can try like delete .plist file or maybe even trying a new user profile. I am a IT professional and am not afraid to get my hands dirty trying to get this resovlved.
Thanks in advance.
P.S. i'll search the forums too and if i see a similar post i'll remove this one.

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the page that opens.
Step 1
Enter the name of the crashed application or process in the Filter text field. Post the messages from the time of the last crash, if any — the text, please, not a screenshot.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Edit it out by search-and-replace in a text editor before posting.
Step 2
Still in the Console window, look under User Diagnostic Reports for crash reports related to the process. The report name starts with the name of the crashed process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report and post the contents — again, the text, not a screenshot. In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.) Please don’t post shutdownStall, spin, or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful.

Firefox opens with "Unable to Connect. Uncheck 'Work Offline ' in the File Menu and click 'Try Again', but 'Work Offline' is not checked.

I have Firefox 3.6.13 on Mac OS 10.4.11 with MyEbay set as my Home page but FireFox always gives the above message and invites me to 'Try Again'. When I click on 'Try Again' it takes me to the eBay sign in widow like it is supposed to. Firefox works properly for a few times after each update but eventually goes back to the "Unable to Connect" message. How can I fix Firefox to go to my Homepage?

Yes, I am using Firefox 3.6.16--but I also occasionaly use Mail and have Microsoft Enterouge, loaded also.
But I always open with Firefox.

My ipad is not recognised by my pc. Apple said my pc may have lost a file and it needs to be reinstalled. However I can't rember the files name? anyone help? thanks.

Hi,
I have both an Ipad and Ipad2. Niether are syncing on my PC which uses XP Pro. My Iphone 4 is fine. Apple suggested there is a file (which I cant remember the name of) which needs to be added again to my PC as it is either corrupt or lost. Can anyone help please?
thanks
Dan

Thanks for coming back to me.
Unfortunately I have tried to re-install Itunes and this has not helped. Apple did say that the file which is corrupt is not loaded on by Itunes and needs to be done manually.
Apple are helpful instore, however it was only after asking 8 people in different stores that they came up with this. It would be great is someone who has had a similar problem could let me know.
thanks
Dan

What do you do when you download an app and the app doesnt work right, then you call itunes and they cant do anything about it cause it's in a different language and you come to a dead end

I downloaded the ispytoys app for the tank, the tank works but not all the features and the tank will only travel 2 feet at a time then you have to move the button forward again, I call itunes but there's nothing they can do cause its in japanese or chinese, anyway, nor itunes or I can read it, so I'm at a dead end. What are my options, this ***** cause one of the features is you can email the videos and pictures out that you take with the tank but mine wont let me. I taled to the people I bought it from but there is nothing they can do cause its in the app and itunes cant do anything about it either, so , do I live with it? Sincerely one bummed out person. If anybody can help me, I would seriosly appreciate it.

We have just upgraded to Firefox 5 at work and I no longer have a new tab thingy on the end of my tab list. I now have to go to file and choose new tab. I would love my wee plus at the end of my tabs back. I use lots of tabs!

I thought it might be due to having colourful tabs so have disabled that but it made no difference. I prefer having my tabs under the bookmark toolbar

You can find the New Tab button showing as a '+' on the Tab bar.<br />
You can open the Customize window and drag the New Tab button that shows as a plus sign (+) from the Tab bar on another toolbar and it will become a regular toolbar button like the New Tab button that you have in Firefox 3 versions.<br />
If you can't find the new tab button then click the "Restore Default Set" button in the Customize window.<br />
If you want the New Tab button at the far right end of the Tab bar then place a flexible to the left of it.

When I try to open a pdf link in my browser I am asked where I want to save the file. I used to be asked if I wanted to open the file. How do I get back to being asked if I want to open rather than save?

Okay i bought a dell pc with windows 8 (big mistake) i downloaded itunes and from my external hard drive, right clicked a movie file (in ipad format, because this worked in vista on my old laptop) and it will not go into itunes. And itunes keeps crashing. Is there a glitch with win 8 and itunes ? I never had this prob with vista. I would right click a file and say open with itunes and poof it goes in the library. Please help before i throw this thing out the window! OH newest itunes is what i have installed.

Take a look at this MBP, a refurbished unit. Don't let the late 2011 release date put you off. For about $500 less than an equivalent 'new' one with similar specifications you get a quad core CPU and excellent graphics. As Steve359 mentioned, this can be upgraded if the need arises and has the same warranty as a 'new' one
I would not be surprised that these may actually be 'new' MBPs due to the length of time that they have been replaced by the current generation. I purchased a 17" model about 5 weeks ago, and a serial number check suggests that it is 9 weeks old.

My school has a website. The professor uploads files in Word. When I click on the link at home using Pages, the download window opens with nothing in it and Safari opens with a blank in the address book. What Could be wrong? Wrong set up?

Hi Jo,
If I'm interpreting this correctly, the Word file downloads correctly, but when you open it in Pages, the link(s) which your instructor has embedded in the Word file are not correctly translated into Pages.
If the link shows the actual address, you should be able to copy that and paste it into the location bar in Safari, press return, and get to the website that way.
An alternate route might be to download one of the open source Office applications, OpenOffice.org, LibreOffice, or NeoOffice. These are written to more closely emulate the behaviours of MS Word than Pages, and may provide better support for links embedded in Word files.
Regards,
Barry

When I click on download link, Firefox don't pop-up window where i could select open with or to save file, it just pop-up window where to save, why?

Before update, when i clicked on download link pop-up window would come up asking me if i wnat to open file with program or just save it, but after update i dont get that pop-up window, insted i get window asking me where to save it, how can i fix this problem, because i want sertain files to be opened with a program like it was before update? I have tried every solution i could find, and nothing helped. I use Firefox 16.0.2 on win7 ultimate x64bit

Thank you, it helped alot. I found that my problem was that all programs in applications panel was set to "save file" option and when i changed them to "always ask" it was back to normal, like i used to :D many thanks
