Solve : Downloading to Desk Top?

1.	Solve : Downloading to Desk Top?
Answer» Quote the prompt comes in with the SAVE AS box with the file name in it This is where you can choose where to save it.Hi Broni, yes I know but it is also where I usually screw up. Because isn't this where you direct the download to a file or folder? And they give the name of the attachments I type in the name of the file (Zelda Ems) but they don't go there. Only the first one I load goes there the rest don't. So that's what I need help doing. Placing them all in the same file. From Save As window, you can select where the file is to be saved. Look again at my screenshot from my previous post. [recovering space - attachment deleted by admin]Okay, so when the file is ready to be saved, and SAVE AS comes up I delete what is in the bar if anything(usually the name of the item) I then type in the file I made for Zelda Ems, and click Save on the right of the bar. Do this for all the items... I'll try again Broni. I'll let you know after I have tried. Wish me luck. Thanks... It may be a few days I am trying to complete so many things on this computer. Make at least some of your prior suggested changes. I wish you all possible luck Quote from: casse2go on March 30, 2008, 12:16:26 PM Okay, so when the file is ready to be saved, and SAVE AS comes up I delete what is in the bar if anything(usually the name of the item) I then type in the file I made for Zelda Ems, and click Save on the right of the bar. Do this for all the items... What I get from your comments is that you're overwriting an existing file each time you save an attachment again; in other words, by using the same file name (Zelda Ems) everytime you save an attachment, you're overwriting, i.e. erasing, the last file saved with that name. If you mean folder instead of file, please clarify that.Quote by using the same file name (Zelda Ems) everytime you save an attachment, you're overwriting, i.e. erasing, the last file saved with that name Yes, if it goes to the same folder. No, if you save it in different folder.Right, I know that, but I think she needs to clarify this point. Her comments have not been clear on this point.Oooops, I didn't notice, it was your post, soybean....LOOOOOOOOLOkay, I must say this again, I am not computer savvy in the least. Well maybe the least but that's it. If I confuse files with folders please chalk it up to my illiteracy of computers. What I want to do is download the attachments in my mail room to where I can access them from Documents. And I would like them all in the same file or folder whichever is correct. I tried to explain to the best of my ability just how they are in my mail. And that I want to use only the GBA, so that I can control the speed. And yes, I guess I am overriding the file command as I do delete the name in the Save As or save window. When I try to do this I will do it step by step with you guys if I may. It can't be today. I appreciate the help. Thank you all.Quote from: casse2go on March 30, 2008, 02:00:26 PM If I confuse files with folders please chalk it up to my illiteracy of computers.

Oh yeah, and the attachments containing the ems and games are in my AOL mail. And the two ems were sent to me as Zip Files. Hi All, I decided to help us help me by asking AOL how to download their mail attachments. Find below the email sent in response. I have a few questions about it. Incident Number: 3756538 Dear... Hello! My name is Jon. It is my pleasure to assist you with issues or concerns regarding the AOL service. I understand that you would like to know how to create a windows folder and then download and save the file attachments you received via e-mail on the newly created folder. Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention. I recommend you save or print a copy of this e-mail for future reference. To create a windows folder, please follow the steps below: 1. Open the location where you would like to create the folder. casse2go Q: What does this mean? If I want the file in my Documents, how do I put it there. Is to open it simple to click on Documents from Start? 2. Once there, click the FILE menu, click NEW then click FOLDER to create a new folder. Note: You can also right-click your mouse on location, click NEW then click FOLDER. To download a file attachment from an e-mail, please follow the steps below: Note: The AOL Mailbox shows that an e-mail has a file attachment by displaying a square box image under the ENVELOP icon shown in the TYPE column. You need to download and save the attachment before you can use it. We recommend you never download a file unless you know the person who sent it. 1. On the AOL toolbar, click the READ icon. 2. Double-click the e-mail with the file attachment. 3. On the bottom left of the e-mail, click the DOWNLOAD button to open the drop-down menu, then click DOWNLOAD NOW. Note: If you receive the message asking "Do you wish to download this file?" click the YES button. 4. In the Download Manager window, locate the folder you have created, then click the SAVE button. Once the file is finished downloading, the Download Confirmation window may appear. Casse2go Q: Is the DOWNLOAD MANAGER WINDOW that window that will have OPEN FIND FILE DOWNLOAD AGAIN ETC? 5. Many types of files, including pictures, sounds, and videos will be automatically opened by the AOL software. If the file is not able to be opened by the AOL software, you must choose from one of the following options: Casse2go Q: Is this where I might get the msg, "AOL cannot open this file? But they always do". - Click the OPEN FILE button to open the file. - Click the FIND FILE button to open the folder containing the file. - Click the CLOSE button to close the Confirmation window. Notes: - If you have already downloaded the file, you can also click the DOWNLOAD AGAIN button. Casse2go Q: I downloaded and then deleted all the GBC stuff. Can I find that and place it in the folder rather than downloading the files again? If so how? I can never find files...my little doggie just looks so sad waiting for me to command him. - If the AOL software is unable to open the file, you must have software that is compatible with the downloaded file(s) in order to view or use it. For example, if you receive a WordPerfect file, you must have either WordPerfect or a word processing program capable of opening WordPerfect files. Also make sure the file is compatible with your computer; a Macintosh computer may not be able to read some Windows files, and vice versa. I hope my response proves helpful. Please let us know if you have any additional questions or concerns. Casse2go Says... For anyone responding to my questions, please give your name so that I can keep track of who said what. Thank you all. I think some frank comments are needed here. On March 30, you said this: Quote Really, to me files and folders are the same but apparently in computer speak they are different. I know the term folders because I was told to make a folder once for a download. That indicates a LACK of understanding of very basic concepts relating to working with files on a computer. It indicates you really need some training in those basic concepts. And, let's look at this again: Quote from: soybean on March 30, 2008, 12:48:03 PM Quote from: casse2go on March 30, 2008, 12:16:26 PM Okay, so when the file is ready to be saved, and SAVE AS comes up I delete what is in the bar if anything(usually the name of the item) I then type in the file I made for Zelda Ems, and click Save on the right of the bar. Do this for all the items... What I get from your comments is that you're overwriting an existing file each time you save an attachment again; in other words, by using the same file name (Zelda Ems) everytime you save an attachment, you're overwriting, i.e. erasing, the last file saved with that name. If you mean folder instead of file, please clarify that. If you do understand that using the same file name, for new attachments received, that you used for a previously saved attachment overwrites the previous attachment/file with the current one, then, again, this indicates a lack of basic knowledge about working with files. Your lack of knowledge makes giving help to you in forums very difficult. If I, or other forum members, could sit next to you while you're using your computer and see exactly what you're doing, it would be so much easier to get a clear picture of what's happening. But, we don't have that option. If possible, visit a library and withdraw a book and/or video on introductory Microsoft Windows concepts. Also, find out if there's a computer users' group in your area. They may have classes for users of various levels of experience. Or, find someone who can work with at your computer to help you resolve this.

And they give the name of the attachments I type in the name of the file (Zelda Ems) but they don't go there. Only the first one I load goes there the rest don't. So that's what I need help doing.

Hi All, I decided to help us help me by asking AOL how to download their mail attachments. Find below the email sent in response. I have a few questions about it.

Incident Number: 3756538

Dear...

Hello! My name is Jon. It is my pleasure to assist you with issues or concerns regarding the AOL service.

I understand that you would like to know how to create a windows folder and then download and save the file attachments you received via e-mail on the newly created folder.

Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention. I recommend you save or print a copy of this e-mail for future reference.

To create a windows folder, please follow the steps below:

1. Open the location where you would like to create the folder.

casse2go Q: What does this mean? If I want the file in my Documents, how do I put it there. Is to open it simple to click on Documents from Start?

2. Once there, click the FILE menu, click NEW then click FOLDER to create a new folder.

Note: You can also right-click your mouse on location, click NEW then click FOLDER.

To download a file attachment from an e-mail, please follow the steps below:

Note: The AOL Mailbox shows that an e-mail has a file attachment by displaying a square box image under the ENVELOP icon shown in the TYPE column. You need to download and save the attachment before you can use it. We recommend you never download a file unless you know the person who sent it.

1. On the AOL toolbar, click the READ icon.
2. Double-click the e-mail with the file attachment.
3. On the bottom left of the e-mail, click the DOWNLOAD button to open the drop-down menu, then click DOWNLOAD NOW.

Note: If you receive the message asking "Do you wish to download this file?" click the YES button.

4. In the Download Manager window, locate the folder you have created, then click the SAVE button. Once the file is finished downloading, the Download Confirmation window may appear.

Casse2go Q: Is the DOWNLOAD MANAGER WINDOW that window that will have OPEN FIND FILE DOWNLOAD AGAIN ETC?

5. Many types of files, including pictures, sounds, and videos will be automatically opened by the AOL software. If the file is not able to be opened by the AOL software, you must choose from one of the following options:

Casse2go Q: Is this where I might get the msg, "AOL cannot open this file? But they always do".

- Click the OPEN FILE button to open the file.
- Click the FIND FILE button to open the folder containing the file.
- Click the CLOSE button to close the Confirmation window.

Notes:

- If you have already downloaded the file, you can also click the DOWNLOAD AGAIN button.

Casse2go Q: I downloaded and then deleted all the GBC stuff. Can I find that and place it in the folder rather than downloading the files again? If so how? I can never find files...my little doggie just looks so sad waiting for me to command him.

- If the AOL software is unable to open the file, you must have software that is compatible with the downloaded file(s) in order to view or use it. For example, if you receive a WordPerfect file, you must have either WordPerfect or a word processing program capable of opening WordPerfect files. Also make sure the file is compatible with your computer; a Macintosh computer may not be able to read some Windows files, and vice versa.

I hope my response proves helpful. Please let us know if you have any additional questions or concerns.

I think some frank comments are needed here. On March 30, you said this:

Really, to me files and folders are the same but apparently in computer speak they are different. I know the term folders because I was told to make a folder once for a download.

That indicates a LACK of understanding of very basic concepts relating to working with files on a computer. It indicates you really need some training in those basic concepts.

And, let's look at this again:

Okay, so when the file is ready to be saved, and SAVE AS comes up I delete what is in the bar if anything(usually the name of the item) I then type in the file I made for Zelda Ems, and click Save on the right of the bar. Do this for all the items...
What I get from your comments is that you're overwriting an existing file each time you save an attachment again; in other words, by using the same file name (Zelda Ems) everytime you save an attachment, you're overwriting, i.e. erasing, the last file saved with that name.

If you mean folder instead of file, please clarify that.

If you do understand that using the same file name, for new attachments received, that you used for a previously saved attachment overwrites the previous attachment/file with the current one, then, again, this indicates a lack of basic knowledge about working with files.

Your lack of knowledge makes giving help to you in forums very difficult. If I, or other forum members, could sit next to you while you're using your computer and see exactly what you're doing, it would be so much easier to get a clear picture of what's happening. But, we don't have that option.

If possible, visit a library and withdraw a book and/or video on introductory Microsoft Windows concepts. Also, find out if there's a computer users' group in your area. They may have classes for users of various levels of experience. Or, find someone who can work with at your computer to help you resolve this.
