Where on my Hard Drive does CometDisk store downloaded media files? No search gives the answer.

Using CometBird's special service - Download Media Files -
it says it downloads them to my hard drive - BUT DOES NOT
SAY WHERE.
And NO SEARCH gives the answer.
Where do I find my downloaded files?????

What a great reply! Thanks very much!!!
I will likely move to Leopard this weekend; and next weekend move from Eudora 6.2 to Mail in Leopard (10.5.6).
A question on sending: I really like to "QUEUE" my messages in Eudora, then send, say 5-10 all at once. Is that possible with Mail?
Also, I like having the IN-BOX (messages rec'd), the OUT-BOX (i.e. messages sent) and a bunch of messages all on the screen at one time-- even the address book -- and then just clicking a corner or going to WINDOW to select. Is that possible with Mail - or do the screens all replace each other?
And I guess Address Book with Eudora (where I have about 800 addresses) is going to have to be imported to Mail - but I don't think it is Mail, rather the Apple "Address Book" program which serves as the address book for Mail - right?
I'm not looking forward to this, I must admit!
Thanks for any comments and hints / experiences you've had--- others out there please comment, too!
Best,
Steve Schulte

Where on Windows hard drive does Firefox temporarily store PDF files that I open from websites when I have Adobe Reader configured as the default PDF reader?

I have Windows 7 and Firefox 19.0.2. I see that every time I open a PDF file from a website, it prompts me to either save the file or open it with a program (defaults to Adobe Acrobat Reader). If it is the same file name that I keep opening up over and over, it appends an incremental number to the end of the file name. To me this implies that it is download the file to a temporary location and then opening it in Adobe Reader. Where is Firefox storing these files and how can I be sure that they are being deleted regularly? I don't want these files to be kept on my local hard drive after I close the file in Adobe Acrobat.

Files that you choose to open with an external program are saved in your temporary folder. To open it, click the Windows logo orb on the taskbar, type '''%TEMP%''' in the search box, then press Enter.<br>
You can clean out temporary files in Windows using the Disk Cleanup utility. The program can also be scheduled to perform cleaning tasks automatically without prompting.

That shouldn't be happening. If you try to download a file that's already in your temporary folder, it should simply open instead of being downloaded again.<br>
I don't know what could be causing it though. First, try upgrading to the latest version of Firefox. If nothing else, your system will no longer be vulnerable to the security holes in the version you're using.

I have 2 external hard drive, one for Backing up my files and TM and the other for what?.

Hi,
I have a WD My Book 2 TB (usb 3.0). 300 GB for Time Machine and 1.7 TB for backing up my files like music, videos, photo, programs, etc...
But, i have another one with 1 TB (usb 2.0), what can i do with it?, backing up the 2 TB hard drive?, or only Time Machine?, i don't know.
I have a Macbook Pro Retina 13" with 128 Gb of hard drive (SSD).

I suggest using both drives for backup. One backup is not enough to be safe.

If you delete a large file from the mac hard drive does it also remove it from time machine on external hard drive

if you delete a large file from the mac hard drive does it also delete it from time machine on the external hard drive ?

As the others say, no, the backup copy won't be deleted immediately, but it will eventually.
If you want to delete all backups of a selected item, such as for space or security reasons, see #12 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions.

External hard drive does not show up

External hard drive does not show up in imovie.

Hi,
Welcome to the Discussions.
The drive's directory is damaged and as you found Disk Utility isn't equipped to repair it. You need Disk Warrior or Tech Tool Pro.

Where does mail store downloaded photos

Where does mail store downloaded photos?

If I understood you... you can export your entire iPhoto library to an external Hard Drive? I could only see import option...
You're welcome. Yes, that is correct. In iPhoto, File > Export... > Select external drive.
You said your drive has to be specially formatted - is that for if you want to export your photos to that drive? Or do you mean if you wanted the iPhoto library to be located primarily on the hard drive?
I meant the latter > specifically, your external drive would need to be formatted in this manner if you wanted your primary iPhoto library to reside on an external drive and function correctly. This format is the format of your MBP's internal drive.
Format the drive as FAT32 using disk utility to make the drive universally compatible between OSX/windows. Place the JPEG images on the drive. Transfer between machines with no problem.

I have just installed a new hard drive in my imac intel 20" (2006) and now the hard drive does not show up in the 'select destinations' folder of the install program.

I have just installed a new hard drive in my imac intel 20" (2006) and upgraded the memory and now the hard drive does not show up in the 'select destinations' folder of the install program. I can see the hard drive in the disk utilities window however it wont let me do anything.
It is a seagate 1TB SATA II drive however it is displaying it as a 7.3 TB.
If anyone has any suggestions I would be happy to hear them.
I have tried to erase and partition and get the same error message each time, 'Input/Output error'.
I have tried starting the thing with the install disk which is Mac OS X (Tiger?) which came with the computer. No good.
Anyone?

Thats correct. I can see it in the list however when I attempt to erase it or partition it it's like it's not being found or recognised and it throws up the input/output error message. I am pretty sure that the sensor it attached correctly and it is a SATA drive. I can see all the infor regarding the drive when disk utility is open and it all looks good but I cant access it or do anything with it. It's taunting me!
The install disk is in the drive and the install program runs right up to the point where you have to select the location for the install and there is just nothing in the box where you have to select the hard drive icon.
I have my suspiscions about the drive but any help would be appreciated.

Every time I try to back up my Macbook Pro with an external hard drive using Time Machine, I receive the error of "the disk does not have enough space". I have a 500GB hard drive and only 120GB Macbook. It worked fine before the latest Maverick's

My guess would be it has created an entirely new backup of your drive when you upgraded to Mavericks.

External Hard Drive does not show up in Finder

My external hard drive is not showing up in Finder.
It shows up in Disc Utility, but I do not have access to it. I have tried the following:
command-shift c, nothing happens
confirmed in Preferences/General that external hard drive was checked
tried another cable
tried another port on the back of the external drive
tried to connect through the USB port
re-started, etc.

I have same problem after installing OS 10.5.8. Disk utility sees the hard drive, the computer does not. Disk utility says invalid node structure. Volume check failed. Filesystem verify or repair failed.
That means the directory is corrupt. If you have a heavy-duty 3rd-party disk repair app, such as +Disk Warrior,+ it may be able to fix it. Otherwise, your only option is to erase and reformat the disk. They're not cheap -- Disk Warrior is about $100. And for Leopard, you need version 4.1.1 or 4.2.
I have not been able to figure out how to start a new topic here, but did find this discussion, which fits me fairly close.
Just above the list of topics, on the left, is a +Post New Topic+ option.

Cloned hard drive does not boot

I have an old G4 Cube which I decided to upgrade with some spare parts. The HDD I replaced was a 5400rpm 20GB Maxtor that appears to be the original, and the replacement drive is a 7200rpm 30GB Quantum Fireball that was pulled out of a Windows machine. Both are IDE, obviously.
I used an external USB to IDE adapter to mount the new hard drive, formatted it to "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)", and restored the original hard drive to the new one using Disk Utility.
The new hard drive doesn't want to boot when I put it in the system. It started up, chimed, restarted for some reason, then froze at the screen with the apple and the spinning circle.
If this were a Windows computer, I'd suspect the MBR didn't get cloned properly. I'm not sure if there's a similar problem with Macs.
And I'm not too keen on using Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper when I can have a free alternative.
Does anyone have a solution? I've tried resetting the PRAM, etc. Is my HDD incompatible?
Thanks in advance

Hi-
Disk Utility images are difficult to get right for most people.
If this were a Windows computer, I'd suspect the MBR didn't get cloned properly. I'm not sure if there's a similar problem with Macs.
You are probably correct in your thinking. Different, yet similar in function.
And I'm not too keen on using Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper when I can have a free alternative.
Huh?
CCC is voluntary shareware and the basic full clone version of SD! is freeware.
SD! is the better of the two, and definitely worth having.
Both are much better than Disk Utility.
Does anyone have a solution?
Use SuperDuper!.

X102e - Hard drive does not boot into Windows

Hi, I was trying to reinstall Windows on my X120e.
I tried clean install with Windows 7 Professional, but the hard drive does not boot into the Windows once it has done the first phase of the install(you know, the copying part)
After the restart done by Windows, it goes as far as "Starting Windows" but does not actually boot into the Windows.
When I try to install Windows with another HDD, the device works well, but I can't swap the HDD because it is not 7.5mm think HDD.
Is there any possibility the HDD will work trough any software-level process? The HDD works fine as external HDD when tested with external HDD adapter, and installs well. only problem is that it fails to boot

Thank you for reply.
This is not exactly the issue. I was talking about the HDD originally installed in the PC.
The PC successfully recognizes the external disk I used to install the Windows, but the problem was that I did not boot into the "First boot" screen, which basically works on the already installed data.
As of now I have installed an SSD and is working fine. strange part is that HDD works just fine when I use it as an external HDD via adapter. Strange huh?

Hard Drive does not start spinning on t410

I have a Thinkpad t410 and I recently purchased a larger Hard Drive and installed it a week ago . Installation went fine, windows installed perfectly, and everything seemed fine until yesterday when I rebooted and the system hung on the lenovo bios boot screen (lenovo logo and the 'Press the blue ThinkVantage button to interrupt startup) because the hard drive was not spinning. After restating a few times, the hard drive came up and boot went on as normal. Since then, this has happened every time I have turned off my system, and a few hours ago has started when I wake the system from standby. I initial thought was that it was a bad hard drive, but when I put the hard drive in a different laptop, it functioned perfectly. This does not occur if I restart the computer, only if I shut it down so the hard drive stops spinning and needs to turn back on. Thanks for any help you can offer.

My external hard drive does not show up on my desktop

My external hard drive does not show up on my dest top but, does shows in my Windows (vmware fusion) end although I can't see it ob my desktop but, I can eject it properly like any external drive. I have connected it to my windows and ejected properly (per the suggestion of someone on this forum) but, it still doesn't show on my Mac. I see the blue light and hear it running though. I have looked for it in disk utility but, still can find it. I have changed the cable and it still did not show on my Mac. I connected another external drive and that showed up on my desktop.Any help????

if it is NTFS then you need Paragon Software NTFS for Mac.
NTFS volumes are suppose to be read only but in practice external drives don't always mount or work.
If it is not NTFS then you need more details. Need more anyway.
PS: this is not a MacBook area, it is Mac 65lbs tower related forum.

Look in the Utility folder which is located inside the Applications folder.
You don't want to do anything with the disk on a PC if you want it to work on the Mac. They both use different formats.
