Default Download Location For Mac And Windows

Three types of downloads are available from Adobe.com:

• Current versions of apps for purchase
• Trial downloads
• Previous versions of apps purchased via electronic software download (ESD)

Log in to your Adobe ID account to download an app that you purchased from the Adobe online store, or to download a previous version of an app. A history of your ESD purchases from the Adobe Store is available in your Adobe account.

Note:

Important: If you purchased a previous version of an Adobe software product on disc, you cannot download the app from Adobe.com.

Access your Adobe ID account online, and sign in with your Adobe ID and password.

In the navigation bar at the top, click the Plans tab.

Under Order History, click the order number for the app you are looking for.

On the order page, under Items, find the app you want to download, and click Downloads and serial numbers.

When you download an app from Adobe.com, you choose a location to save the software. If you can’t remember where you saved the files, try the following solutions.

Note:

If you downloaded an app using Internet Explorer 7 on Windows Vista, your download could have been virtualized. See Can’t find or start the download installer.

Check the location where your browser automatically saves downloaded files:

• Internet Explorer (Windows): C:...[user name]My DocumentsDownloads, or C:...[user name]Downloads
• Firefox: Choose Firefox > Preferences (Mac OS) or Tools > Options (Windows). In the General tab, look in the Downloads area. The download location is in the Save Files To setting.
• Safari (Mac OS): Choose Safari > Preferences. In the General tab, the download location is in the Save Downloaded Files To setting.
• Google Chrome: Choose Settings > Advanced. Under Downloads,you can access the Download location setting.

Firefox and Safari track the progress of files they download. If Firefox or Safari (not Akamai Download Manager) managed the download, check the Downloads window for the location of your downloaded files:

• Firefox: Choose Tools > Downloads, or press Ctrl+J (Windows) or Command+J (Mac OS). Right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Mac OS) the downloaded file, and choose Open Containing Folder (Windows) or Show in Finder (Mac OS).
• Safari (Mac OS): Choose Window > Downloads or press Option+Command+L. Control-click the downloaded file and choose Show in Finder.
• Google Chrome: Choose Settings > Downloads or press Ctrl+J. Click the Show in folder link under the downloaded file.

Search your hard disks for the downloaded files using either of the following criteria:

• Look for files modified on the date that you downloaded.
• If you downloaded a CS5 application, look for files that contain CS5. On Windows, you can add wildcards by searching for *CS5*.

Note:

For assistance with searching your hard disk, see the Help files for your operating system.

If Akamai Download Manager on Firefox or Safari managed the download, Akamai Download Manager’s log file of the download session contains the location of the saved download. To use the log file to find your downloaded file, use the steps for your browser and operating system below.

Open %USERPROFILE%.DownloadManager.DMQueue in a text editor such as Notepad.

Look at the top of the log file for the following line: ;LAST_TARGET_FOLDER=[disk location]. For example, this line indicates that the file was saved to your desktop:

;LAST_TARGET_FOLDER=C:Documents and Settings[username]desktop

Open Terminal and type the following command: grep LAST_TARGET_FOLDER ~/.DownloadManager/.DMQueue

Look in the Terminal window for the location of the saved file. For example, this line indicates that the file was saved to your desktop:

% grep LAST_TARGET_FOLDER ~/.DownloadManager/.DMQueue ;LAST_TARGET_FOLDER=/Users/[username]/desktop %

By default, Chrome downloads files to the “Downloads” folder in your user account. If you would rather save them to a different location, you can easily change the Chrome download folder location.

Click the Chrome menu button (three horizontal bars) in the upper-right corner of the Chrome window and select “Settings” from the drop-down menu.

The “Settings” screen displays on a new tab.

Scroll down to the bottom of the “Settings” screen and click the “Show advanced settings” link.

We’re going to set up a new default folder as the location where Chrome saves downloaded files. However, you can have Chrome ask you every time to choose the download folder location. To do this, select the “Ask where to save each file before downloading” check box so there is a check mark in the box.

To change the download folder location, click “Change” to the right of the “Download location” edit box.

On the “Browse For Folder” dialog box, navigate to the folder where you want to save folders by default and click “OK”.

The path to the selected folder displays in the “Download location” edit box. This location displays in the “Save As” as the default location, if you’ve selected the “Ask where to save each file before downloading” check box. Click the “X” button on the “Settings” tab to close it.

There are additional actions you can take on downloads. To open the “Downloads” list, press “Ctrl + J” or select “Downloads” from the Chrome menu (3 horizontal bars) in the upper-right corner of the window. You can also enter “chrome://downloads” in the Omnibox (address box) and press “Enter”.

The downloaded files are listed in order of most recent to farthest back in time. To remove an item from the “Downloads” list, click the “Remove from list” link below the item.

To open the folder containing one of the downloaded files, click the “Show in folder” link below that item.

Once you have downloaded a file, you can quickly and easily move it to another location by dragging and dropping it from the “Downloads” list in Chrome to a folder in File Explorer or any other file browser you are using.

TIP: It’s a good idea to clear out your downloaded files list on occasion so finding files in the list doesn’t get too difficult.
