OS X :: Deleted Files In Downloads Folder Not Go To Trash

May 25, 2010

On my MacBook, when I delete a file in the Downloads folder, it says that it will go immediately and for some reason it doesn't go to Trash. On my iMac, the behaviour is as I expect, it goes to Trash and I can undo it. Is there a way to change it on the MacBook so it goes to Trash? I'm using 10.6.3.

MacBook Pro :: Deleting PDF Files In Downloads Folder - Is It Safe?

Sep 10, 2014

I want to know If I can delete items in my downloads folder.  I HAVE DONE NOTHING specific to these files.  The majority of them are files I opened as email attachments.  NO, I haven't moved them or saved them.  NO I haven't imported them to itunes.  NO they aren't files ending in .dmg.  Almost ALL are pdf.  On another post regarding this question the chosen answer was, "you can delete from downloads folder without affecting the applications, so you CAN'T delete them without any problems".  This statement is contradicting

Should it not have been worded, "YES you CAN delete without any problems"?  And it didn't indicate if it included pdf files.  ( i believe they were discussing copies of apps or programs in the downloads folder). 

I just want to know what will happen to these pdf files.  Do I need to move 229 files IF i want to preserve them somewhere on my Mac, or are they already saved elsewhere as a pdf?

Mac OS X (10.6.8)

Mac Mini :: Can't Drag And Drop Photo Files From Downloads Folder

Mar 11, 2012

After downloading a photo, I'm only able to drag it from the Downloads folder and drop it to my Desktop or another location about half the time. Often, I must open Downloads in the Finder to drag and drop. The Finder option always works. Is there a preference setting I need to change so that dragging and dropping from Downloads is always available?

Applications :: Safari Downloads/Window Does Not Show Downloading Files

Nov 7, 2009

I started having an issue with Safari this afternoon with the Downloads windows not showing the files that are downloading. The Downloads window will show the number of files downloading at the bottom of the screen, but the window is completely empty of files. The files do download, but I would like to be able to see the status of the downloads.

Any ideas on how to get the downloads to display again? I have tried resetting Safari and rebooting, but no luck so far.

Applications :: Unable To Empty ITunes Store List / Delete Unwanted Downloads From The ITunes

Nov 11, 2009

I have a batch of HD video downloads in my iTunes Store queue that I can't delete. Before it was annoying, having to purchase both the regular video and HD video, then delete the unwanted HD download from my queue list, but now it's a problem. I can't empty the unwanted HD downloads, and for me to download them all will tie up my connection for a week or more.

I do not have the bandwidth

Safari :: It Doesn't Keep Past Downloads In Downloads List

Apr 26, 2012

This problem I've been having started when the latest version of Safari moved from a Downloads window to a Downloads pop-up pane. My expectation as to how the pane should work is this: the 20 most recent downloads are shown in the list, and when a new download begins, the oldest download is removed from the list, thereby keeping the new list updated with the 20 latest downloads. My problem is that while the pane still keeps 20 past downloads listed, they're not always recent downloads. For example, when I download a file, the file will typically remain in the list until I begin a new download, at which point the slightly earlier download will be removed from the list, while even older downloads remain listed. So at the moment, listed are five recent downloads and fifteen downloads from many months ago, while downloads from days or hours ago have been removed from the list.In Preferences I have (and always have) "Remove download list items" set to "Manually." Currently I am running the lasted versions of OSX (10.7.3) and Safari (5.1.5).

OS X :: How To View Pic And Delete Unwanted Pic In Folder

Sep 24, 2010

When we download new pictures in Windows and saved in a folder, we simply view it using Window Picture Viewer, scroll along and delete pictures we don't want. Easy and straight forward.

I did the same saving all new pictures in a folder. Then problem arrises:

1) When click the 1st picture to commence viewing, its not able to scroll to the next one. unlike Picture Viewer. So does it mean I have to open up individual pic, close, move cursor to next pic, open, delete unwanted pic, close, move cursor to next ....repeat....repeat.....one by one at a time. That is mind bogging absurd.

2) Then I use space bar and able to scroll forward. When reach the last pic of the row. it stop, Then I have to move cursor down and now scroll backwards. Seems very strange. Its kind of zig-zag manner. And after deleting pic, I have to start all over again instead of continuing from last pic. Again this is crazy.

I haven't really explore iphoto yet but don't tell me to use iphoto to do the job. That means I have to import photos from folder to iphoto and that is double job. Not forgetting there is no "cut and paste" function at right click mouse and that also means duplication.

Surely Mac is meant for graphics and there must be a much easier way than Window Picture Viewer, right?

MacBook :: How To Get Rid Of Unwanted Pop Up Ads In Safari 8

Dec 3, 2014

My Macbook 6,1 (late 2009 model) has OS 10.10.1 with Safari 8.  My husband downloaded Shockwave to try and watch football on the laptop!  After that he started getting unwanted pop up ads.  Now we also get re-directed to pages that we can't get off of and have to force quit.  I understand there is no way to reset Safari 8 - and I  cannot find it a way to empty cache?  Unfortunately we have not backed since upgrading to Yosemite OS.

OS X :: Downloads Not Appearing In Folder

Apr 11, 2010

I was downloading my senior pictures from the photographers website when suddenly I don't know what I did but the downloads folder disappeared from my dock! I got it back (I think...there is this little blue folder that says "downloads") But now when I download an image it won't go into that little folder on the dock. The little box pops up like it used to to show the progress of the download but it doesn't show the tiny loading bar in the little folder in the dock and when it is finished downloading it does not appear in the folder in the dock!

OS X :: Change Location Of Downloads Folder?

Oct 15, 2009

I just bought an external HD for my Mac Mini as my media plus downloads were filling up my internal HD. Is the location of the Downloads Folder (and Movies) something that can be configured somewhere? I still want it to show up in my home folder. Is it as easy as deleting the old one and creating an alias for a Downloads folder located on my external HD?

OS X :: Safe To Clear Downloads Folder?

Feb 4, 2010

Is it safe to clear my downloads folder? Basically, it has become very large (~20gb). I want to create some more space because my hard drive is partitioned. Basically, what I'm wondering is, if, for example someone sends me a song. I play the song through itunes. Doesn't the song then get copied into an iTunes folder? Assuming it does, does that mean there is a duplicate file in the downloads folder as in the iTunes folder? Otherwise, do I have to manually go through my downloads folder and decide whats needed and whats not?
