Win7 browsing=perfect, downloads=non starter!

A somewhat strange problem I have only just noticed, I am a first time bootcamp user so this may be a common problem that someone may have an answer to, browsing through IE, safari, firefox etc... no problems I get the usual 5MB speed, however if I download any file from any website/windows update and the like it either drops down to almost 2kbps or does not even start telling me there's a network error. There is no firewall or av apps of any kind I really only use it for a few apps that are not available on OSX so it's very rarely used but if there's an easy fix I would appreciate finding out.
Regards.

Hi, yes I followed the bootcamp guide for installing so all apple drivers came from the OSX disc, it's turning out to be fairly random now, previous downloads that were slow are now fine whilst the other's that were fine are now slow! much randomness!
IE9 is much improved yes, the gui look's pretty strange but that's maybe because im used to IE8 when on windows.
I have to mention Snow has absolutely no network problems it's only in windows bootcamp so perhaps a driver problem or compatibility problem with my BThomehub, I thought maybe someone would have come across this and there would be a quick fix but I see from browsing this part of the board there are a great many worse problems than mine with networking!
Regards.
ps- thanks for the security essentials quick tip, been a good few years since I have used windows!

I would try another restore of the hard disk to its original out-of-the-box contents using Toshiba recovery media. Maybe something went wrong in the process. Make sure everything works before applying any updates and adding any hardware or software.
Then add things carefully, rebooting Windows and testing the USB and audio at each step.
Please note this.
The only info windows gives me for the sound card is that it from Microsoft... with a driver version of 6.1.7601.17514....which naturally doesn't really help me since I have no idea what card or mobo I have . Is there any way for me to find out what I need other than opening up my laptop?
Every one of them lists my mobo simply as a Toshiba motherboard, with no audio card information. Which I'm assuming that is because it has an internal sound processor. My problem is that none of the properties, or ANYTHING I try, will give me information on what I need to fix this...
All of the latest drivers for your model are easily found here. This one is for the sound.

Firefox don't close when "browsing and Download History" is deleted on exit

Firefox doesn't close properly in about 50 % of cases. When closing FF, the window closes but the process firefox.exe isn't terminated. When trying to open FF again you got the error message "Firefox is already running, but not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system." After terminating the process firefox.exe in the windows task manager, FF can be started again.
Error only occurs when under "Options/Privacy/Use custom settings for history" at "Clear History when Firefox closes" the option "Browsing and Download History" is selected.
All other options selected or not don't cause the issue.
I switched this option it several times. When "Browsing and Download History" at "Clear History when Firefox closes" isn't selected, the error doesn't appear.
Reproducible regardless if "Remember my browsing history" and "Remember download history" are selected or not.
Reproducible:
- after new installation of Firefox (Firefox 29.0.1 german, Windows7 64-bit)
- with different profiles, even with all addons disabled or running in safe mode
- with new profile with no addons or dictionaries installed
- with windows firewall turned off and deactivated antivirus program
- with hardware accellaration on and off
I know the issue has already reported at bugzilla.mozilla.org and described at
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/997918
https://support.mozilla.org/de/questions/997670
I want to describe the problem more precisely:
It only occurs when "Browsing and Download History" is delete on exit. The other option at "Clear History when Firefox closes" don't cause this issue.
Is there any other solution then to turn "Browsing and Download History" off?

From what I have been reading from other posts on this forum, the issue may
be caused by the clear history settings.
Press the '''<Alt>''' or '''<F10>''' key to bring up the tool bar.
Then '''Tools > Options > Privacy'''.
The button next to '''History''', select '''Use Custom Settings'''.
At the bottom of the page, turn on '''Clear History When Firefox Closes.'''
At the far right, press the '''Settings''' button. Turn on ONLY '''Cache''' and
'''Form And Search History''' leaving the others off.
This is not a cure but will make it easier if Firefox locks up.

When I clear my history, Firefox clears my browsing and download history even though this checkbox is not checked. It didn't use to do this. What can I do to fix this?

When I clear my history, Firefox clears my browsing and download history even though this checkbox is not checked. It didn't use to do this. What can I do to fix this? I believe the problem started with the last Firefox update.

Do you mean the "Form autocomplete" feature?

Trying to download the Trial of Acrobat DC but download never starts

Trying to download the Trial of Acrobat DC but when I get to the page that says "when your download is complete, you will be able to start using Acrobat" nothing happens. The download never starts.

if you follow all 7 steps you can directly download a trial here: Adobe Acrobat DC Pro/Standard and Reader: Direct Download Links | ProDesignTools
and activate with your serial number.
if you have a problem starting the download, you didn't follow all 7 steps, or your browser does not accept cookies.
the most common problem is caused by failing to meticulously follow steps 1,2 and/or 3 (which adds a cookie to your system enabling you to download the correct version from adobe.com).
failure to obtain that cookie results in an error page being displayed after clicking a link on prodesigntools.com or initiates the download of an incorrect (eg, current) version.

my ipad crashed, (email chrashed actually), In my try to recover it i try shut down after press the power button 5-8 sec and for about 7-12 hours showned a circle trying to shut down. After battery run out shutted down, i try to charge it but during, shows a usb cable with itunes logo and an arrow to get connected, after 8hours charge, when connect to itunes says for :
iPad Recovery Mode
Your ipad software is up to date. iTunes will automatically check for an update again on 11/03/2013. (in a week)
I tried start it like is but non start, is it deleted all from it....?
Ipad 1
3.2 updated to 4.3.3
what can recover if deleted all?
pdfs eBooks are recoverable?

The first step of syncing with iTunes is iTunes making a backup. Restore from that backup using the instructions in this article. Your iPad will be like it was when the backup was made.
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
The backup does not included synced media like apps. music and synced photos.
If necessary you can redownload iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Do that before restoring from backup

Pressing Enter on Download dialog starts another download (OSX Yosemite)

Since I upgraded to Yosemite (OSX 10.10, running FF 33.0.3), when I download a file and press Enter to save to Downloads, this starts another download of the same file (while also saving the original file). This didn't use to happen on Mavericks, so I'm hoping there's an easy fix for it. Any ideas much appreciated.

No, what happens when I press Enter (with the download dialog focused) to save a file in any folder, the file saves, but another download dialog pops up immediately. It looks like Enter is activating ("clicking") the link to the file again, even though the main browser window doesn't have focus.
I'm not running any antivirus software or the like and this problem only started when I upgraded to Yosemite.

How do I save browser and download history with timestamps?

I want to be able to have access to and be able to export all my browser and download history on Firefox with timestamps. From the looks of it, Firefox doesn't place permanent time-stamps on browser history, and begins removing download data from the main download window after it reaches a certain volume. I'm mainly interested in knowing whether I can retrieve and export history and/or download data which is months old for forensic reasons. Basically, I just want to have a day-by-day breakdown of the sites I visited over the last year on Firefox instead of a month-by-month one and '6 months or older' pile.
It would be nice if someone could clarify whether or not Firefox supports or can be made to support any of this, and if months-old browser history still has original time data associated with it that I can use to categorize it day-by-day.

You can open the downloads.sqlite file in a program or extension that can handle SQLite database files.
* SQLite Manager: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/sqlite-manager/
# Open Profile Directory -> XXX.sqlite -> Go
# Hit the Execute SQL tab
# Use a Select like this:
<pre><nowiki>SELECT datetime(startTime/1000000,'unixepoch') AS startTime,name,source AS url,target,currBytes AS bytes,((endTime-startTime)/1e6) AS time,currBytes/((endTime-startTime)/1e6) AS speed,mimeType
FROM moz_downloads
ORDER By startTime DESC
</nowiki></pre>
If you need more (or less) data then add open the XXX table to see the names of the available columns and add them to (or remove them from) the SELECT line separated by commas.

Downloading is started before pressing save button on save as dialog.

I select "Always ask me where to save files" radio button in Options menu. And when I download something, I notice that transferring is started before I press save button on "Save as" dialog. Is there any way to prevent the pre-caching before pressing save button?
Thanks

Sorry, not that I have ever seen mentioned in this forum. Firefox has always done that when "Ask me ...." is selected in Options.
Are you having any particular problems with downloads being started before you select a specific location for the "final resting place" for the download?

HT4461 how to download non-Apple store apps on iMac 10.8

How to download non-Apple store apps on iMac 10.8. I want to transfer photos from a Samsung Galaxy S4 to the iMac.

If your Mac is not allowing you to download 3rd party apps that are from a source other than the Mac App Store, it is likely the security setting in System Preferences. Go to Sys Prefs/Security & Privacy/General and set the download options best for you. You will likely find the download options grayed out. You will need to click the padlock below and supply your admin password to unlock the preference pane.

All I get on my screen is the apple after a perfect download

I just received my second ipod nano 3rd gen. Also, I have a nano 2nd gen and a shuffle. I have no problem except for this 3rd gen nano. I had a perfect download waited till ipod fully charged then took it off charger and all I get on the screen is an apple. I have tried resetting doing the 5 R's, nothing. I tried draining the battery, nothing. Very frustrated, please help! All my other ipods work great.

Connect the iPad to iTunes again and click on restore in the iTunes window on the right. That message means that something went wrong and you have to connect to iTunes in order to fix the iPad, and you fix it by restoring the iOS software.
