Where is the option to "RUN" a file rather than download it???

''locking as a duplicate - https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/792934''
I am getting frustrated with Firefox's lack of "RUN" option when downloading an .EXE file. I dont care to save every .EXE setup file that I download and would like to just RUN the .EXE simply like Internet Explorer. Why is that such a problem in Firefox??

Add on does not work in FF 4. The FF user should be able to make the decision whether they think the file is a security threat or not, not Firefox! There should be an option in settings to let the User decide for themselves. Some people are smart enough to know what they are Executing and/or have virus protection installed anyways. Personally this puts a damper on my browsing experience.

Safari always opens a linked file rather than download it.

Safari always opens a linked file rather than download it. Can't always Right Click for menu option as the web page is not setup that way.
Have tried trashing the Downloads.plist from the user library. Still no joy.
Thanks anyone

Hi guys
Thanks for suggestions. Carolyn, I did as you suggested but didn't solve problem. KeeChan, as explained in original post, that is my usual fallback but not all web sites work like that. Try downloading Safari - right click (Ctrl Click) on download button and all you get is the "Download.png" image.
I finally found the answer. A long time ago I had downloaded and used "SpeedDownload" and had deleted it. Somehow, some trace of the app was left behind and the mime association with dmg files was messed up.
You can not get rid of Speed Download by throwing its files away or by using an app cleaner product. You MUST run the Speed Download installer program and select the "uninstall" option to remove it.
My browsers now download dmg files correctly.

I can't be sure, but what probably happens is that the page doesn't give you a link to a downloadable file, but a button which activates a script. There's nothing you can do about that, because you don't control the script.
it just downloads the transcripts not the document.
It sounds like the downloaded file does not open or execute as it's supposed to (which, for instance, would happen if what you downloaded was a Java application, but you didn't have Java installed).
If you are allowed to, give us the URL and we'll have a look. Also, you should add what version of Mac OS X and of Safari you are using, and you should correct your profile (which says "Mac Pro" -- this forum is for the MacBook Pro, which is a different computer from the Mac Pro).

Possible to "Update" the SDK rather than download entire 1+ GB file?

Is it possible to "Update" the SDK from an older one rather than download the entire SDK again?
Thanks

Short answer: no.
You would probably have to replace the individual files in the way that you want.
Just leave the download on overnight if your connection is that slow.

Why does browser download a file rather than displaying it?

I am using a Nexus 7 device. I have a website locally on the device together with all of the data files. When I use the browser to select a file it does not need to download it. I want it to call up a list of the programs that can display the file so that I can select which app to use. When I leave that app then I expect it to go back to the browser and the HTML web page I was previou. sly viewing. It has done that at various times but has stopped now. How do I get it to resume displaying the files rather than downloading them onto the same device?

When I try to download a program, the pop-up only gives me the option to "save" the program, instead of giving me the option to "run" the program. How do I fix this?

I have tried downloading iTunes (and Quicktime), but instead of giving me the option to "run" the program, Firefox only gives me the option to "save" the program (which I already tried, does not work to give me access to the downloaded program). Is there a setting I need to change?

That's intentional, because running exe files from your browser is a major security concern. You can run the file after you have downloaded it. If you don't know where it is on your computer, go to '''Tools > Downloads''', and double-click on it from the Downloads window.

Where is the option for OCR?

We am trying to highlight words in a PDF attachment to an email. The user has Adobe Standard 8 or 9. The menu bar at the top only has File, Edit, View, Window. Where is the option to choose OCR recognition? I know it is in "Document" but on the user's computer "Document" does not show up on the menu bar.

Where is the option "Store only headlines" in Mail.app on Mavericks?

Where is the option "Store only headlines" in Mail.app on Mavericks? I used to store all messages on gmail servers. Mail.app on Mountain Lion has feature to load only headlines of e-mails from Gmail. Now It's gone and with new OS Mavericks, I've got 10Gb of mail on my Mac locally.

This problem is slowly killing my machine! I 'upgraded' to a better spec machine so I could synch my phone would you believe it. I couldn't synch my phone and my laptop with a cable, that was fankly incredible.
Now I have a new machine and first thing I did was install mavericks, and now mac mail spends all it's time dowloading mail from may mail accounts. I have 4 imap gmail accounts set up and mail is using 56GB on my local disc to store them.
There use to be an option to limit the disc storage I think 5GB would be quite enough to hald the last few months email locally. Question is how do I set that limit in mavericks. Is there some plist I can edit or something.
Looking at the activity window it seems to spend A LOT of time
"updating cache directory"
I don't think I even have 56GB staore on the server, so how is it possible that I have more on the local copy?

Where is the Error-Handler config DB file?

Where is the Error-Handler config DB file?
<P>
All the Config DB files are in the config directory under the
postoffice directory. Each config file has the same name as the
Module it's the config for (e.g. Error-Handler contains the configs
for the Error-Handler.)

Look in the database alert file - in the "bdump" directory
Look in the trace files in the "udump" directory
If still no wiser:
ALTER system SET event = '31098 trace name context forever, level 2' scope=spfile
Try again and look for the trace files starting with "s..." in the "udump" directory.

HT5312 Where is the option for them to email my Rescue Email the reset?

Where is the option for them to email my Rescue Email the reset? I do not seem to have that option no matter what device I use. The rescue email article in no way answers this as I have been trying to use that in every way I can think of for two hours.

The option to send reset info will only appear if you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account. If it's not appearing then I assume that you don't have one, in which case see if the instructions on this user tip helps : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4551

Where is the "Options Bar" in Essentials 11

Where is the Options Bar in Essentials 11 - so the size of the brushes etc can be located and used?
Also, when I use the Clone Stamp, there is a hovering mask-outline over the image - how do I get rid of this
mask?

I have no idea of what you mean by needing to click on the green button. I was assuming you meant Photoshop Elements. I'm not sure what "Adobe Essentials" is, but for sure there is a tool options button on the bottom of the Photoshop Elements 11 window, whether it is maximized or not:
There is no layer mask in the clone stamp, so I'm afraid I have no idea of what you mean there, either. Do you mean you want to turn off the overlay that shows the area you're moving? Click the Clone Overlay button and turn off this checkbox, if that's what you mean:
If you are referring to Photoshop Elements 11, there are a number of books available, including one in the Dummies series.

ITunes: where is the option to sync music without iCloud ????

I have 3000+ songs in my iTunes account on my mac Mini
I upgraded to iO6 and now, the only option I have to sync my music that I see is with iCloud. I no longer have an option to sync the music on my computer directly to my iPhone.
iClould doesn't work at 41,000' with no wi-fi and no cell service, or when I am camping in remote areas.
Where is the option in iTunes to sync music from a computer to a iPhone or other device?
Thanks for the help folks.

Thanks sberman.
I have iTunes 10.7 (21)
I don't have Mountain Lion, and there is no option to "Sync Music" when I plug my iPhone in. I have had a Powerbook G4 since 2005, and have being using iTunes since 2005 with multiple iPods, iPhones.
There simply isn't an option to sync my music with my iPhone 4S.
I do see the ability to sync contacts, photos, but when I click on the music tab under iTunes, I see this image:
I have never seen this option before and would love to see the option to "Sync All Music", "Syn All Playlist" and "Sync Selected Playlists" or whateve the old screen options where.
Do you really think this is a iOS 10.7.5 issue vs 10.8 (Mountain Lion)?
Thank you very much for your replies.
