Why are entires in my download history being removed?

Entries in my download history have started to 'vanish' by themselves as of the last update, i.e. version 20. It's as if they're being aged off. Up until the update, my download history had at least the past six months of downloads showing, now it just shows 3 entries.

Firefox manages downloads in the Downloads folder in the Library (History > Show All History)
*Downloads are treated as history items: clearing history removes included download items and vice verse.
*When downloads are in progress you see an animated download button on the Navigation Toolbar showing an estimate of the remaining time
*The Download button gets a green highlight once all download are finished to make you aware that new downloads are available.
*Pause and Resume can be found in the right-click context menu of an item.
You can display the new Download Manager in a tab by opening the about:downloads page and consider to open this page in a separate window.
Your downloads may still be present in the previously used 'clasic' Download Manager.
You can set the Boolean browser.download.useToolkitUI pref to <i>true</i> on the <b>about:config</b> page to revert to the classic Download Manager and also make all download settings reappear in "Options > General".

You can check the browser.download.manager.retention pref to make sure that it has the default value (2: manual).

  • Why Are Some Of My Downloads Landing In The Trash?

    Why are some of my downloads landing in the trashcan? I just went to empty my trash can and when I opened it up I found about 5 files that I downloaded just last night. Why would my personal and important files have found thier way into my trash can?
    Blessings,
    Damon

    sometimes, depending on how the file was compressed, the .zip or .sit files will go into the trash once uncompressed.
    are the uncompressed files still in your download location? (desktop, download folder, etc.)

  • Why are my apps not downloading?

    Why are my apps not downloading? They just sit there waiting and I keep getting an error saying that my purchases cannot be downloaded at this time and to try again later. I have tried logging out and in, and rebooting but neither has worked

    Same problem here.  Not able to update any apps or to download new purchased music.  Doesn't work on iPad, iPhone, or iTunes.  Tried with 3G download rather than wifi on the phone and iPad.  It still hasn't worked.  I changed me credit card, but without success.
    The store is currently broken for some users, maybe all.

    I can't remember exactly what I did. I do know that when I started it up, I couldn't find the Setup Assistant on the hard drive,
    No, once a user has been created, you can't run Setup Assistant  (without erasing and reinstalling).
    What do you recommend for fixing this?
    Here's what's happened: 
    When you first start up a Mac and create the first user account, OSX assigns it UID (User ID) #501.  The next one gets #502, etc.  Those UIDs (not the user name) are what control permission to files.
    You can see those numbers via System Prefs > Users & Groups;  click the padlock and enter your Admin password, then select an account and right-click it, and select Advanced Options.  Do not change anything on that window.
    So . . . assume your old iMac had a user 501 with the data you want; it's identified that way on the backups.
    When the Apple Store started up your new Mac, and created their account, it became #501.
    When you used Migration Assistant to transfer the 501 account from the iMac's backups, OSX copied everything there "as is" except it had to change the 501 to 502. 
    The new 502 account has all the right permissions to things now in it's home folder, but the backups belong to user 501.
    Have you added much to the Mac since you did the migration?  Have you done any new backups?  If not, while it's a bit of a hassle, one fix would be to create yet another user account temporarily.  Make it an Admin account.  Log on to it and delete all the other accounts.  Then migrate the accounts from your backups; this time there won't be a conflict, so OSX won't have to change the UUID(s).
    But if you have done new backups, this won't work, since Migration Assistant automatically uses the most recent backup.  There's a way around that, but it's a bit (or more) tedious.
    Clear as mud? 

  • Why are my new music downloads going to icloud?

    Why are my new music downloads going to icloud? I never set it up and dont use it. I just recently purchased a few songs and when I hooked up to the computer is says I have to download them AGAIN to my computer from icloud. Why did this happen? My husband and I share a computer and both have our own id. I couldnt figure out why iTunes was telling me to do this and found out my husbands id was in my iPod.

    On your phone, how many of your contacts are in the On My Phone group, or any other group that is not iCloud, and how many are in the iCloud group (382?)
    Why are my contacts not backing up to iCloud?
    Not the same thing, don't confuse a backup of your phone with an iCloud data account. Backup is a separate function.

  • Why are the emails I sent out being held in my outbox, and how do I resend them

    why are the emails that I have sent out not going to the recepiants but instead being held in my outbox, and how do I resend them?

    This problem is generally caused by not having a connection to the ISP mail sender (send and receive authenticate and operate independently).

  • Hi why are my photos after downloading twice ,once in photo library and once in a file with the date why cant i delete a file its an iphone 4s please help

    why are my photos after downloadon twice one as photo library the other as a file with date how can i delete one file same pics

    Generally I would not use Facebook for sharing any photos, it compresses the photos substantially, and when you have shadows and dark colours you get visible "bands" where there should be subtle gradients, ie at sunsets and sunrises.
    It sounds like you are using two methods to upload to Facebook:
    1. Sharing from within Aperture, which basically syncs Facebook with your Aperture album, so any changes made at either end gets synced, hence the deletions from Albums, although the original file should still be in your library, just removed rom the album. It is like a playlist in iTunes.
    2. Exporting pics and uploading to Facebook from the browser.
    I am not sure how method 1 gets compressed, but I know that uploading hi-res jpegs to Facebook using method 2 results in poor quality images.
    I wouldn't even bother comparing option 1 or 2, and they will both be poor images once you view them on Facebook, as opposed to viewing uploaded images on proper image sharing / hosting sites.
    Your problem is not with Aperture, it is using Facebook for showing your work.
    If you export pics form Aperture at high res jpegs or TIFFs your images will be fine.
    If you insist to use Facebook as your way to share your work, then your workflow should be this:
    1. Right click images you want to share.
    2. Select Export version.
    3. Export as 100% size and ensure the export settings are set at 100% quality.
    4. Upload this pic into Facebook.
    This will get you the best image size and resolution on Facebook.
    See how you go.

  • Why are songs from the same album being separated in my library?

    My library is currently sorted by "Album by Artist." I have 5 songs from a particular album and the library is grouping only 4 of them together, while singling out and listing 1 song separately, just beneath the other 4 songs. The text in the Artist, Album Artist, and Album fields are exactly identical for all 5 songs, so why is 1 being singled out? I've tried quitting and restarting iTunes (version 9.1.1) and this doesn't solve the problem.

    If you read the Grouping tracks into albums article you will see that this technique is just one among many and only works in particular circumstances. There will, no doubt, be other steps that you need to take to merge the tracks into a single cover in this case.

  • Why are my apps not downloading on my iphone?

    The apps on my iphone are not downloading.  If I connect it to the computer, the apps download via iTunes.  I have no problems downloading apps from my iPad.  Does anyone know why this might be happening?

    Thank you for the information.  I did not mention that I am using the same account on all my devises and everything worked properly for over 1 year, then the iphone stoped downloading apps.

  • Why are my email attachments showing as being attached but the recipient does not get an attachment?

    I currently use the Mail program on my MacBook Pro and am having issues with email attachments. I have read through a few forums and I seem to be doing everything correctly but I am still having problems. I have 3 different email accounts that I have set up through Mail and all 3 are having problems. The steps I take when attaching any document is to compose to a new email, click the paperclip icon or go through the File drop down menu and select Attach Files. With either option, I can see my document inside of my message but when I send the email the recipient only receives the text portion of th email, not any attachment. When I go to my Sent mailbox and find the email I sent, I can see the document within the message but there is not a paperclip icon next to the recipients name indicating that there was an attachment sent.
    I have made sure that 'Always send windows-friendly attachments' is selected, and I have tried sending them with 'Always attach at end of message' selected and with it unselected but there has been no difference. I have only noticed this within the last 2 months. Anyone have any advice?

    The issue with not seeing the paper clip in your Sent mailbox seems to be totally removed from anything related to recipients, and is something to perhaps yet be addresses in a future update.
    To the issue with recipients, I would guess the recipient is using Outlook or Outlook Express, and the message is being sent in Rich Text (a form of HTML) and the recipient either cannot open the attachment, or they have an over zealous anti-virus filter that is removing the attachment out of fear caused by the presence of HTML.
    More info about the recipient's platform, please.

  • Why are my pictures in PSE 6 being reduced in size after adjustments

    Hi:
    I have the MAC version of PSE 6 .
    I just noticed that my file size is being reduced.
    The file is 3.7 mb and when I save it it reduces to 907k.
    I have a issue with a picture I was working on the last time I use PSE and am not sure what happened or what I changed.
    That picture was fine and so was the file size for that picture when I transfered it to iPhoto.
    I am not that knowledgeable with computers and cannot figure out what is wrong or what I did.
    If someone could help me I would appreciate it.
    I made all the adjustments to the picture and it shows as 33.3% on the top of the file when I open it now.
    I saved it to my desktop and transfered it to iPhoto and it continues to show it as a reduced file.
    Also since I already made all the adjustments is there a way of bringing back the file size without having to start all over again.
    thank you,
    Greg

    Each time you do a save of a .jpg, you reduce the image quality. If you save it as 8, you reduce the image quality more than if you save it as 10 or 12.
    For most people, you cannot see the difference between a first edit saved at 8 versus a first edit saved as 12. The exception is if you want to blow up the file to a large size, then the difference between 8 and 12
    i may
    be visible.
    For second and later edits, the quality degradation gets worse than the first edit and may become noticeable. So if you are working with .jpg photos, it is a good idea always to edit the original, not to edit and already edited version.

  • Why are the apps I download from itunes .ipa files?

    I understand that .ipa files are for jailbroken idevices, but when i download apps (all free so far), and i go to (eindows explorer) my music\itunes\itunes media\mobile apps, all the files are .ipa files.
    Not me or anyone else in my family have had anything to do with jailbreaking or cydia. Is it the fact that they're all free apps?
    thx

    i am qwerty wrote:

    That's not correct. All Apps are .ipa files.
    An App for a jailbroken device may well be in .ipa format, but that's not relevant to you if you haven't jailbroken your device.
    Someone writes an App for Apple iDevices. By definition, it's an .ipa file.
    The App is submitted to Apple who effectively vet it for behaviour unacceptable to Apple.
    If the App passes Apple's vetting, it gets into the Store and you can purchase it, either for a cost or for free
    If the App is not passed by Apple - or not even submitted to Apple because the author knows it will not be accepted, it isn't in the Store.
    Jailbreaking allows people to install Apps that Apple have not accepted into the Store. It doesn't seem to dawn on many people that the reason Apple may not have accepted an App may be because it will harm the iPod, make the iPod unreliable or compromise their security.
    You have no need to worry. My additional comments about jailbreaking are to serve as a warning to anyone else who reads your thread in order to deter them from jailbreaking. Further reading can be found here;

  • Why are my new app downloads stuck in waiting?

    I know there are quite a few posts on this subject, unfortunately none seem to solve my problem.
    Problem:
    When I download apps from the app store, they sit "waiting" for days.
    -Happens regardless of one or 5 apps in the queue.
    -Wifi is working, I'm not using 3G for this.
    -Tested on 3 wifi networks.
    -Tested deleting all pending apps and reinstalling from app store.
    -I'm not near my pc to try the syncing to itunes method and would be a bit disappointed if that was the only solution.
    -4xs tried to restart phone.
    -Twice restarted (hold home button and power button 10+ secs till Apple logo appears).
    -tried to reset network settings.
    None of these worked. Does anyone know what I should do or try?
    My setup is iPhone 4s, iOS 5.0.1 and won't let me update any further so that must be as current as it gets. I got the phone about 2 weeks ago and have downloaded about 46 apps and deleted several. I noticed this problem while trying to download/ install Find My Friends.
    In advance, you're awesome for helping, thank you thank you!

    Okay, I figured this out.
    A podcast in iTunes was not downloading.
    Apparently, ios5 will only download one thing at a time and so it sets up a queue that must include all and any downloads: apps, songs, podcast, all of it. So, a tip to anyone with this problem look through all apps that have a queue of downloading items and clear them till you can get your system running again.

  • Why are my notes and photos no being shared anymore?

    I have an iphone and ipad which were synched just fine until now. I just added a Mac Mini and changed my Apple ID password and now nothing is synched anymore. My notes are now different on all devices and no photo stream. I have reset my new Apple ID password in all places, but that doesn't help. When I attempt to but a check in the boxes next to notes and photos in the icloud settings, I am prompted to create a me.com address, even though I use the Apple ID address for icloud. Even if I attempt to enter my me.com addres, it tells me that that one is already taken.
    Please help. I need to be able to synch and share photos and notes on all devices.

    Whilst you've changed details on your devices, have you changed them with Apple.
