Why is Firefox downloading multiple copies of "Silverlight.dmg"?

Every web page that opens seems to want to download another duplicate copy of Silverlight, even though I have the latest already installed., I'll look at my download file, and I'll have 50-100 copies for the day. Every day.

Still, still, still, trying to find a solution. My downloads folder fills right up with scads of Silverlight.dmg files. Here is from just this afternoon (I cleaned it out just a few hours ago!):
"Silverlight(53).dmg
Silverlight(5).dmg
Silverlight(4).dmg
Silverlight(3).dmg
Silverlight(2).dmg
Silverlight(1).dmg"

  • Mail 3.6 downloads multiple copies of emails from my pop account

    Since I auto-upgraded to Mail 3.6, Mail is downloading multiple copies of email from my pop mail account. This did not happen before and I haven't changed any of the mail settings. I have read discussions about a similar problem with an earlier version of Mail and the solution seemed to be deleting some file linked to Mail so it could be rebuilt, but I can't find such a file on my system that I could try deleting.
    It may matter that I am not 'strictly' supposed to be using os x 10.5.8 on my powerbook G4 (according to what is said on the packet).
    Help please!

    @ Tokyodj
    Thanks very much for posting this. I was having slightly different issues than the people above - only one of my two POP accounts was being constantly picked up, and I had hundreds of versions of each email... strangely, even after I went to the (Yahoo) account and deleted all the emails out of there. Your solution worked perfectly.
    Thanks again!

  • The past few days my Mail app has started downloading multiple copies of e-mails from all pop servers.  This is only happening on my Macbook not other macs.  Deleting mail from server does not help. I ran ClamXav found 2 viruses deleted problem continues

    opps.  Long title there... The past few days my Mail app has started downloading multiple copies of e-mails from all pop servers.  This is only happening on my Macbook not other macs.  Deleting mail from server does not help. I ran ClamXav found 2 viruses deleted those.  Checked for software update and installed suggested downloads.  Problem still contintues.  Any suggestions?

    Folks,
    even after having repaired the inbox folder under "properties" a few times, I still had some e-mails where the contents are different from the subject line.
    In other words in the inbox there are two e-mails: one with subject line "abc", and another one with subject line "def".
    When I display the e-mail with the subject line "abc", the contents are from the e-mail with the subject line "def" in the in-basket.
    What else can be done to correct this problem?
    Thanks and best regards.

  • Why do I have multiple copies of the same song?

    When I open my iTunes on my iPad I have multiple copies of the same song.  It seems that when I connect and sync to my computer that it does not recognize that the song is already on my iPad, so it sends another copy.  When I try to delete the second copy from my iPad by swiping to the left and hitting delete, it doesn't delete and I see the cloud icon like it wants to down load if from the cloud automatically again.  How can I clean this mess up?

    Hi R_3S,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    It sounds like your Music application is showing your previously purchases music, with the cloud icon, on your iPad as well as what is synced onto it. Please follow the instructions in the following article to turn off Show All Music.
    iTunes Match - iPhone
    http://help.apple.com/iphone/7/#/iph6e2dfb83
    Just show music that’s been downloaded from iCloud. Go to Settings > Music, then turn off Show All Music.
    Have a great day,
    Joe

  • Why do I have multiple copies of Pages

    I should say that this is not specifically related to Pages, I have multiple copies of all the iWorks apps on my computer but because I could not find a general iWorks forum I decided just to post about Pages with the asumption that it would be the same for the other iWorks apps. 
    I have the pre-update iWork 09 version 4.5 that was installed from Disk when i first bought my Mac.  I have since upgraded my Mac to Mavericks and upgraded pages (and iWorks) to the new iCloud versions 5.2
    When I go into my Applications folder, I see a subfolder in there called iWork 09, and in that folder is the old 4.5 versions, but I also see the new versions of the apps as seperate apps in my Applications folder.
    See pictures
    Basically all I want to know is if I App Delete the old iWorks 09 versions, will it affect my access to the updated versions, because it seems to me like I have two sets of iWorks apps (one old and one new) and of course I only need the new one

    iWork 09's Pages is version 4.3. Yes you have to versions. They hare 2 different applications with the samme name. I wouldn't delete iWork 09 as it has about 100 more features than Pages has. But if you have it on a disk you can as you always have to possbility to install it again from the disk.

  • When I have an image on the screen and try to save it why does firefox download it again?

    I am on a certain web site and an image is displayed on the screen. I want to save it to my PC. Instead of saving the one already downloaded and displayed Firefox downloads it again. This is a nuisance it wastes time and bandwidth. Is there any way to correct this? Some people have suggested 'save images' but this is no help whatsoever as the same thing happens.

    Make sure that you do not run Firefox in (permanent) Private Browsing mode (Never Remember History).
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Private+Browsing
    *Tools > Options > Privacy > Firefox will: "Use custom settings for history"
    *Deselect: [ ] "Always use private browsing mode"
    In case you are using "Clear history when Firefox closes":
    *do not clear the Cache because Firefox will disable the disk cache in such a case
    *Tools > Options > Privacy > Firefox will: "Use custom settings for history": [X] "Clear history when Firefox closes" > Settings

  • Why am I getting multiple copies of a single email?

    I'm using Yosemite 10.10 on my mid-2012 iMac.
    I've noticed that I'll often get multiple "copies" of the same email. E.g., this morning I received an email that was forwarded to me as a contact through one of my weblogs. In the Mail Inbox for the specific email account the same email appeared three times.
    I've noticed this same behavior in other email Inboxes (different accounts) in Mail.
    Any idea what's going on?

    This may have to do with the server, what kind of email are you using, and is it a group email?
    Can you please provide steps you are taking with a little more detail as well? It may be a known issue, but I do not know.
    I look forward to your reply!

  • Why do i see multiple copies of same photos, photo stream and camera roll

    Photos on my wife's iPhone 5S take up a lot of space ( iCloud memory full, can't update phone).  It How do I trim it down?  I moved a lot of her shots to my macbook, then deleted most of them (except the ones she wanted available) but it didn't seem to help.

    Is your question about multiple copies of photos or about trimming down the amount of memory your photos are taking up?
    Photo Stream only takes up a small amount of storage since it is primarily housed in iCloud.
    Camera Roll photos can be imported to a computer and deleted from the device.
    When you say multiple copies, do you mean the same photos in Camera Roll and Photo Stream? If so, then you need to understand that every photo you take on your device will be seen in both the Camera Roll and in Photo Stream. They serve two different purposes. The Camera Roll is where your actual photos go and are stored on your device. These are the photos you import to your computer.
    Photo Stream is where photos taken from any device signed onto the same iCloud account and that have Photo Stream turned on all go. That way, you can see photos on your iPhone that you took on your iPad and vice versa. But again, these photos are stored in iCloud and take up very little memory on your device.

  • HT4463 Why can't I download multiple copies of FCPX?

    QUESTION: I purchased FCP X & I want to download it to a 2nd computer. But, FCPX doesn't show up in my list of purchases. Compressor, which I bought the same week, DOES show up with an "Install" button. Why not FCPX?

  • How do I stop iTunes from downloading multiple copies of a TV show?

    This is driving me nuts.  Using Doctor Who as the example, for each episode released, iTunes tries to download two HD copies and one SD copy.  I don't need the SD, nor do I need to duplicate HD.  Yet I can't stop it from trying to download them when I start iTunes, nor can I figure out how to permanently remove or cancel a pending download.
    Anyone have any idea how to stop this?
    -- edit ---
    Didn't have much luck matching search terms for this before posting, yet after posting links came up referencing other queries in which people asked how to stop iTunes from downloading the HD and SD versions of a TV show.  Consensus seems to be that iTunes will always download each version, which is just plain silly.  Haven't seen any explaination, however, on why it then tries to download a second HD copy.

    That is correct.  This is the way it is ALL HD purchases come with the SD version.

  • When saving an image, why does Firefox download it again, although it is already downloaded and displayed?

    If you right click an image on a website and choose "save image", it will be downloaded again. It is already in the browser cache though. There are addons which let you pick it from the cache.
    Why doesn't Firefox just save the cached image and instead downloads it again? There seems to be no obvious rationale to do it like that (and lots to use the cached version).

    Thanks you, but that's not an answer to my question.
    I'm not looking for workarounds. I would like to know (preferably from someone at Mozilla) why the browser works this way and if they are going to change it.

  • Why does firefox download stop at 61%

    I am running windows 7 ultimate. Why I try to download firefox the files start to extract but stop at 61%.
    Tried turning off windows firewall but did not help.

    Oh, oh, oh! That's my fault. I thought you were talking about downloads in Firefox weren't working. Sorry!
    I'm assuming you downloaded from www.getfirefox.com. You can try the full setup file and not the Stub exe offered on the Mozilla site

  • Why does firefox makes multiple profiles

    My name is Mike from the helpdesk of YER.
    We have one user with the same problem over and over again.
    Our employees have a roaming profile with multiple browsers, but he uses Firefox wich is causing a problem.
    There is a datalimit on our user profiles. The problem is that Firefox uses all the space from the user profile.
    This causes a storage space error every two days.
    To solve it, I open Firefox profile manager, multiple profiles are visible. So I delete the non-used profiles. But this is temporarily, because within a few days, the user contacts us with the same problem.
    I also tried to move the profile to his documents with the profile manager to free space, also this didn't solve the problem because Firefox makes new profiles over and over again.
    This user is the only one with this problem, and we cannot find a solution.
    We thought maybe it has something to do with synchronisation between multiple devices, but he only uses his Firefox profile on his work computer.
    I hope you can help me solving this problem. Maybe you can explain why Firefox is creating multiple profiles, or maybe we can change the Firefox profile path, for all the profiles incl. new ones that are created.
    Thank you!

    I also have been having this problem for way to long to the point I have removed Firefox so many times and have even completely wiped my computer out and did a factory full restore (which I am still upset about) .. NOW again i delete FIREFOX ... I go thru the computer ..hidden files and all and totally delete any and every thing the is related to Mozilla and Firefox.. including the OLD Firefox file it creates even if you do a reset... Now I have two issues.. when you restore a system,, you are given a complete NEW user profile,,, thanks to Firefox pulling from what must be your records.. EVERY past user ID that this computer ever had is back on my system and has permissions on important files under UNKNOWN USER.. and firefox has created tons of dupt files.. example ...I ran to see why system again was slow CCleaner disk analyzer and wow there is over 85,000 files created by Firefox which include duplicating all program files and over (I stopped counting after a certain number) thousands of c:\users\Robie\AppData\local\mozilla\firefox\profile\...\cache2 files every 4 minutes for since i reloaded.. and all system files (only important ones) and links to the old profiles that were infected and/or corrupt over 84k of this ...these are just under the OTHER catagory.. WHY is this repeating over and over
