Can't locate downloaded files

I cannot find some files that I have downloaded, some audio and video files (from emusic.com & megaupload.com). I have them set to go straight to my Downloads folder but they are not showing up, even after I see them successfully download in the download list bar. I've searched for the files by name as well. Any ideas?

HI,

Check the Downloads folder in the Finder.

Open a Finder window. Select your Home folder in the Sidebar on the left. Then open the Downloads folder.

The Downloads folder may also be in your Dock.

HI,

I understand you have Safari / Preferences set to go to the Downloads folder. The Downloads folder can be accessed in several different locations. One from the Safari menu bar, Window/Downloads and two, from a Finder window.

Check both places just in case.

Since eMusic is compatible with iTunes, check your iTunes library. And if you are using the free trial, could that have expired?

One other idea. From the Safari menu bar select Window / Downloads or press Option CommandL. Control or right click the the downloaded file and choose Show In Finder.

🙂

Like I mentioned, they are not showing up in the download folder as designated in preferences.
