Why are my Downloads not going to the Download Folder?

I presume my computer is playing up:
In the Firefox preferences,
I have selected "Show the Downloads window when downloading a file"
and "Save files to Downloads folder"
BUT - my computer neither shows the downloads window,
nor saves the download to the folder.
(It used to do so, and I didn't change my preferences)
Is there something you could recommend to correct its wayward behaviour?
Thanks,
Peter.

I'm not sure this is the complete answer but try:
PRAM RESET
Zap the PRAM
Shut down the computer.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.
And here is a System Management tool that can help clean some of your processes up:

Why are my audiobooks not going through home sharing?

why are my audiobooks not going through for home sharing.

According to this thread (https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3525692), it looks like you are not able to share audiobooks through Home Sharing:
You can share MP3, AIFF, WAV, AAC, and radio station links, but you cannot share iTunes Store Audio Books, Audible spoken word content, or QuickTime sound files.
You can leave iTunes feedback here: http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html

Why are sent emails not stored in the Sent Items folder in iOS7

Why are sent emails not stored in the Sent Items folder?

Thanks, Matt.
I'm now starting to notice the emails that don't come in order are all posted from sites that use multiple platforms to send the same message; email, Facebook, Twitter, etc. so maybe that has something to do with it. I'm thinking the hold up is possibly at their end.

Why are my homepages not saving in the options? Why is an unsolicited search page replacing my home pages when I open a new session of Firefox?

I am repeatedly having to reset my homepages in the Tools and Options toolbar. Why are my homepages being replaced without my permission?

Sounds like you picked up some Malware.
Sometimes a problem with Firefox may be a result of malware installed on your computer, that you may not be aware of.
You can try these free programs to scan for malware, which work with your existing antivirus software:
* [http://www.microsoft.com/security/scanner/default.aspx Microsoft Safety Scanner]
* [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free/ MalwareBytes' Anti-Malware]
* [http://support.kaspersky.com/faq/?qid=208283363 TDSSKiller - AntiRootkit Utility]
* [http://www.surfright.nl/en/hitmanpro/ Hitman Pro]
* [http://www.eset.com/us/online-scanner/ ESET Online Scanner]
[http://windows.microsoft.com/MSE Microsoft Security Essentials] is a good permanent antivirus for Windows 7/Vista/XP if you don't already have one.
Further information can be found in the [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]] article.

Why are my stylesheets not applied in the preview?

Hi all,
I am using DW CS5.5 and my stylesheets are not applied in the preview windows. Does anyone have an idea why? In the browser preview they are applied so the must be correct I think. They look like this:
<head>
<base href="http://www.domain.eu/" />
<meta content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1" http-equiv="content-type">
<title>Template</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/templates/customer/css/stylesheet.css">
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/templates/customer/css/product_tabs.css">
</head>
Thanks for your help in advance.
Kind regards.
flommmm

Now I am confused. I am neither working with flash nor with mobile platforms.
It is only one file. And the stylesheets are located on our webserver - therefor the base-definition in the header. This is the whole source code:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<html>

Why are some songs not available in the U.S. iTunes Store?

There is a song called "The Moment I Knew" by Taylor Swift. I want to get it off of the U.S. iTunes Store, but it's only available as a ringtone, not a song. And the weirdest thing is that the song is available in other countries along with the Deluxe Edition of Red, but in the U.S., Taylor Swift usually releases the bonus tracks as singles. I need to know!!!

It is not currently available in the US Store. So, you won't be able to get it via iTunes. You can purchase the Red Deluxe CDs at Target, which has the song on them.
Cheers,
GB

Why are deleted messages not going to deleted folder

In Account settings > server settings I have set it to move deleted messages to a particular folder but thunderbird appears to be permanently deleting messages as I can't find them anywhere.
This is with an IMAP account.

What messages? iMessages? Mail?

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?

My ibook g4 took a install from apple update . Why is it not going past the screen where is shows Mac OS X

My ibook g4 took a install from apple update . Why is it not going past the screen where is shows Mac OS X

Did you verify the hard drive before installing the update? You could have had hard drive corruption where the computer did not know where all the files are and something didn't get installed correctly.
Did you repair permissions? The installer may not have been able to overwrite a file if the permissions on files were not set correctly.
Frankly, the easiest thing will be to re-install the operating system from the installer disc. While booted to the disc make sure you run Disk Utility First Aid to repair the drive and permissions, then install. Many of us prefer to download updates from Apple rather than rely upon Software update. we use SU to tell us what we need but we download them separately.
For which operating system was this update? Apple hasn't brought out a new system update for G4s in quite a while.

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.

Why are my fields not moving with my Dynamic stamp ? Only the artwork appears

Why are my fields not moving with my Dynamic stamp ? Only the artwork appears

Sounds like you're a candidate for Lightroom...based on the time you don't
want to spend in Photoshop.
Photoshop install media is likely created in large batches, perhaps in a
foreign country, so it's understandable that you get Photoshop 11.0.0 is on
the media.
I don't know as I would use ProPhotoRGB as my working space in Photoshop. I
was merely suggesting that you look at your color settings to make sure
things were the same on both machines.
How do you know your actions are the same? Did you copy the action
recording from one computer to the other, or did you merely record the same
steps on each one? Have you compared the details of each action step in the
Actions Palette to make sure they are the same? The symptoms still sound
like something different than sRGB being the output color-space, or the fact
it isn't embedded on one or the other of the computers.
How are you viewing the JPG when it looks the same or different than the
RAW? Are you looking at the side-by-side in Photoshop, or side-by-side in
Bridge, or are you using a mixture of viewers, one Adobe, and one not? And
are you using the Canon Codec on Vista or not? The Canon Codec would be
showing the camera-preview in the RAW not the RAW adjustments that Adobe has
done.
While the OS shouldn't be causing a difference in how the action is run, a
difference between OSes may make a difference in the processing to show up.
The camera profile associated with a RAW file is visible in the
third-from-right tab in ACR over at the right. The one with the little
DSLR-camera icon on the tab.
Can you attach the two JPGs on a reply, here, or if not, upload a ZIP of the
two JPGs and the RAW to a file-sharing site like http://www.rapidshare.com/
and post the download link(s)?

Why are my downloaded songs from ITunes cutting off before the song has played?

I am new to ITunes. I purchased 6 albums. Why are my downloaded songs starting in the middle and cutting off before they have played?

Try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.

Why are animated gifs not displaying animations in the preview?

Why are animated gifs not displaying animations in the preview?
My coworkers and I are not seeing a animation in the preview pane in Adobe Bridge CS6 even when clicking the play button in the preview window. However, we do see a graphic of the first frame and one person sees 1 frame when clicking play and one other frame and then the animation stops, however, that is not the complete animation.
I'm using Windows 7 32 bit
My coworkers are using a mac.
One coworker has apple OS Mountain Lion with a Intel Quad-Core Xeon – 64 bit system.
Is this fixable or in the works as a patch? Otherwise we have to open these docs in a browser in order to view them properly.

I've just come to the realization that some animated gifs do play fine and others do not. A coworker of mine suggests that if it's an animation made via Adobe Photoshop, it'll work in bridge but will not if it's made using something else.

My sent messages are not going in my sent folder... Why not?

When I send a message it should appear in my Sent Folder... They don't... Where are they going? My sent folder doesn't work! How do I fix this?

You do not say whether you are using a standard Pop account using it's own folders Or a Pop mail account using Global Inbox(Local Folders) OR whether this is an IMAP mail account?
So the answer depends on your setup:
'Tools' > 'Account Settings' > 'Copies & Folders' for the mail account.
* Select: 'Place a copy in'
If Pop mail account using own folders:
* Select : 'Sent' folder on and pop mail account
If Pop mail account using Global Inbox(Local Folders):
* Select : 'Sent' folder on and Local Folders.
If IMAP mail account:
* Select : 'Other' and then choose the Sent folder on imap mail account.
* Note: that sometimes the 'Sent' folder on server may be called something similar eg: 'Sent Items'
Click on OK.

They should be. If you have lost bookmarks try restarting Safari:
1. Press the Home button
2. Double click the Home button to bring up the "Recent Apps" tray.
3. Touch and hold on the Safari icon in the "Recent Apps" tray until a "-" appears.
4. Touch the "-" to terminate Safari.
5. Restart Safari and see if your Bookmarks are back.
