Where is the Downloads folder located on iMac 10.4.11?

.....

Welcome to ASC!
By default, Mac browsers save all downloads to the Desktop. See if the folder is here:
Macintosh Hard Drive > Users > [yourusername]
or
Macintosh Hard Drive > Users > [yourusername] > Documents
If it's not there, simply create one where ever you like.
Once you've found it or created it, go to your browser and set it to route downloads there. In Safari Preferences:
It's similarly located in other browsers like FireFox.

  • Just got a new Mac Mini with Lion - where is the downloads folder in the Window tab that is at the top of the page in Safari?  I used this a lot and really miss it!

    I just got a new Mac Mini with Lion - the Window tab at the top of the Safari Browser used to ahve a downloads folder in it along with Activity etc - but it is not there anymore. Any way to get it back or is there another location it sits in?  I used it when I'd copy video info from the activity folder and then paste into the download folder and presto - I downloaded the video onto my computer.  I really miss this capability!

    Download activity is found by clicking on the gadget on the right:

  • Where is the coverart folder located so I can restore it in TIME MACHINE

    I am adding songs day by day from the 30 days of the grateful dead for 2013.
    Somehow, the cover art from 2013 replaced the cover art for 2012....and 2012 coverart is GONE...
    How do I restore this state in time machine? I don't know where the folders are because everything is cryptic to me...
    any help will be grately appreciated.

    If you ever have reset Firefox then you may still have an "Old Firefox Data" folder on the desktop.

  • Changing Apple Software Updates download folder location

    Hi,
    My C drive is full so my computer won't allow me to update iTunes. I have moved Apple Software Updates (as well as my iTunes and media folders) to my D drive but it still downloads the update files to my C drive which doesn't have room to allow the download to happen. Can anyone tell me how to change the download folder location for ASU?
    I'm hoping if I can change the location it will work. Any help or other suggestions would be much appreciated!
    Thank you

    HI,
    Saving files to the Desktop can lead to poor performance on your Mac, read here.
    http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=7667118#7667118
    If you still want to save files to the Desktop regardless, and you can change the default location in Safari Preferences, then make not of your Safari Preferences and then delete this file.
    com.apple.Safari.plist
    ~/Library/Preferences.
    Move that file to the Trash and restart your Mac. Try Safari Preferences/Downloads, click "Other" and see if you can navigate to the Desktop.
    You would be much better off creating a folder and keeping in your Dock.

  • Safari puts a copy of downloads onto my desktop even though i have the downloads folder specified as the save downloads to location in Safari preferences. How can I stop this from happening?

    I dont' want to have to keep manually moving each download off of the desktop. The downloads folder is selected as the location where i would like downloads to go. They are downloaded there but an additional copy keeps showing up on my desktop. Help!

    What are dmgs? I downloaded Microsoft Silverlight and the icon showed up on my desktop. I tried moving it to trash but it wanted to delete the whole program instead of just a shortcut. I opened the general tab in Finder's preferences and the only options that were selected to show up on desktop were External Drives and Cds, Dvds, and Ipods. THanks so much!

    There are also other things that need attention:

  • FCP X version 10.1.1.  When Sharing to DVD I get the following alert " There was an error burning your discd.  Not enough Disk Space in Target Folder"  I have 700GB   free.  Where is this target folder located?  how can I fix this problem? not space prob

    Sharing to DVD I get the following alert " There was an error burning your disc.  Not enough Disk Space in Target Folder"  I have 700GB   free.  Where is this target folder located?  How can I fix this problem? This is definitely not a space problem. 
    Since starting with FCP X, there has been tons of issues, now that the product actually works with the exception above, makes it impossible to share the production.  Has Apple fixed this problem.  is there a knowledge base article on this?
    On another note, One reason I have not purchased support on FCP X is because you sold a product that never worked for almost an entire year or more.   Now I can finally finish my project,  I cannot share it.....Really.  This has to be fixed now, I am loosing money as I typed this.
    Regards,

    Just curious, why would repairing permissions, rebooting ( rebooted 2 times already today) or creating a new user possibly fix this.
    I cannot create a new user, that is way too much work.  I will repair permissions again,  I repaired permissions just a few days ago. Then I will reboot, login and turn off App Nap and rerun the Share DVD.
    There must be something seriously wrong with the OS if your are suggesting creating another user.   WOW!

  • I've set Mozilla to ask where before downloading a file, but it keeps going directly to the downloads folder

    I recently upgraded from a 32bit XP Pro Windows machine to a 64bit 7 Pro Windows machine. In XP, Mozilla was set to ask where to save something before downloading and it always worked. Windows 7 Pro Mozilla is also set to ask where before downloading something, but it never asks. It just goes right to the download folder. Once something's in the download folder I can't even move the item from there to somewhere else. Do I need a special add-on or something for Win 7 Pro?

    You can check for problems with preferences.
    Rename or delete the prefs.js file and possible numbered prefs-##.js and user.js files to reset all prefs to the default value.

  • I have no DVD drive on my computer.  Where are the downloads located?

    I received discs for Photoshop elements & premier elements 12 with my new camera but my computer doesn't have a DVD drive.  I assumed it would be no big deal to download them from the Internet...wrong.  .I have serial numbers to install Photoshop but I cannot find where the downloads are located.  I find plenty of "trial" downloads but I should not have to pay for a product I already have.  Can anyone help me out there in cyber-land?  Adobe has no information on the website and I am unable to locate a live person.  So, that is you!  Hey live person, can you help this little ol lady?  Thank you so much!!

    I am okay with a computer but not a geek that is for sure!
    I downloaded the assistant and nothing happened.  I went to the site you so kindly suggested and started the download, and when I tried to apply it to the computer it said elements were missing.  I deleted the download and then started again.  Right now it is once again downloading the assistant. 
    Arggggggh!

    Thanks for the update.
    What was the problem...the length of time for the download or just getting any download at all?
    If necessary, I will go step by step with you through the tryout download from Adobe. But, the purchase of a USB external DVD/CD burner for your computer is a good idea and investment.
    If you do the shopping for this, check out how many connections are necessary for it to the computer....none, one, or two...check out the length of the USB cable.
    Please let us know how we can help. But, your mentioned place of purchase has a squad who should be able to help your with the purchase.
    Thanks. Please update us on your progress when your schedule permits.

  • Where is my downloads folder it disappeared from the dock?

    where is my downloads folder it disappeared from the dock?

    The icons in your Dock are "aliases" or copies of the original so it's easier to open them.
    To find your original Downloads folder, simply click on the Smiley Face Icon in the Dock near the begining, it opens a Finder Window.
    On the left, click on your "username" icon, on the right a list of folders and one will be "Downloads"
    Now click and drag this folder to the Dock next to the Trash Can (only) and it will make a new "alias" there.

  • Where is the extension folder for Adobe Bridge? (Mac)

    I am trying to install the output module on Adobe Bridge. I am totally new to Creative Suite and photoshop. I can't find any information on bridge extensions at all. Here's the page I found on installing the output module- http://helpx.adobe.com/bridge/kb/install-output-module-bridge-cc.html
    I downloaded it but after that is says to copy it into the extension folder. Where is the extension folder? Is it is Bridge? Is it in Finder? Any information on extensions is much appreciated! What exactly are extensions? What is the difference between the extension folder and extension manager?
    Thank you!

    At first sight I can' see anything wrong about the correct locations you used.
    There was no need to delete all workspaces but that also should do no harm I would think.
    You once pointed at the bridge6.plist file but it is not clear to me what you did with it. Personally I would quit Bridge and delete this plist file manually and then restart with again holding down option and use reset preferences.
    And you did also use the reset to standard workspaces instead of the reset workspace to only reset the selected workspace. I don't know for sure this will make a difference but it is worth a try.
    And while you are in the user library to delete the plist file for Bridge also look in the folder caches in this library.
    User / library/caches/adobe/Bridge CC and inhere find and delete both the plug in and cache folder, then restart Bridge.
    Finally it might be also worth a try to download CS6, it should not be needed to do so but it was one of the earlier solutions that worked. In your ACC menu click on any app that shows blue and this brings you to the CC website. Choose download center and find PS. Click on the icon and this gives you the detailed download page. Inhere you can change CC to CS6.
    Download PS6 it and install it (this also installs the CS6 version of Bridge which was not a separate download in CS6). Then try first start CS6 and start the AOM which is installed by default in this version.
    Then when having used this once quit CS6 and try CC (or even combine with restarting your Mac).
    Hope this helps, because I'm running out of options

  • Firefox 31.00 DOWNLOADS folder location has moved.

    Firefox 31.00 DOWNLOADS folder location has moved.
    I can no longer find the files I download using my Firefox browser.
    (Firefox 31.00 - updated as of 2014_0812.)
    This is my process:
    Firefox 31.00 Menu Bar:
    Click -> TOOLS
    Click -> DOWNLOADS
    This opens up: chrome://mozapps/content/downloads/downloads.xul
    The files I download using Firefox 31.00 are not at this (chrome) location.
    What’s up with that?
    Is there a way to revert to my former setting where clicking on Firefox 31.00 menu button labeled DOWNLOADS opened up my Windows 8.1 DOWNLOADS folder. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

    A question for you ...
    Are you able to view the Download prompt window when you begin to download a file?
    The reason being, is that I am having a download issue within Firefox in which I've been unable to download most any file that I select. The exception would be .ZIP files. Those I can download (and in the process, view the Download prompt window).
    I've noticed that I cannot download most other files ... mainly .EXE files and others (in which the Download prompt window fails to even appear).
    I initally thought that possibly the downloaded files were being redirected elsewhere within my C drive, but that appears not to be the case.
    Let me know if you've experienced a similar issue.
    Anyway, I do hope that your issue is resolved in due time.
    Take care,
