You can open the Downloads panel to view completed and pending downloads by clicking on the Downloads button (the down arrow on your toolbar). See the articles and How does built-in Phishing and Malware Protection work? for more information.

The first and most common reason why music is not saved in "VK" in the "Audio recordings" section is a system failure. Nobody is safe from them. Therefore, you just need to repeat the attempt to add music to your "playlist".
If that doesn't work, you can try refreshing the page. And only then save the audio recordings on your page. In cases where this option does not help, it is recommended to wait a little and try again.
For a list and information on how to use them, see the section on the file menu. Every other format retains some image properties and loses others. You must understand the possibilities of the format you choose. Exporting an image does not change the image itself, so you have nothing to lose by exporting.
When this option is checked, the animation will play several times until you stop it. You can set the delay in milliseconds between frames if it has not been set previously. In this case, you can change each delay in the layers dialog.
The point is in the application
Why is music not saved in the VK application and is not even played? This phenomenon should not surprise modern users. Especially when it comes to iOS. That is, about gadgets iPhone type and iPad.
Why shouldn't this phenomenon be surprised? The VK administration refused to listen to music through specialized applications for mobile devices. Why is music not saved in "VK" and there is not even an item "Audio recordings"? Do not be surprised. This is normal.
The point is in the application
If this has not been specified before, you can set how the frames will be superimposed. You can choose from three options. One frame per layer: Previous frames will be deleted before displaying the new frame.
- The layers will overwrite what is below.
- Cumulative layers: previous frames will not be removed when the new one is displayed.
Viruses
Why is the music not saved in "VK"? It is likely that viruses on the computer are to blame. Then the problem is solved only by checking the computer or phone / tablet for the presence of an infection, followed by treatment. The processes are quite natural and familiar to many users.
Fortunately, quite often this scenario is quite rare. And therefore, many do not think why the music is not saved in "VK". Instead, they are thinking about ways to load audio recordings directly into the memory of gadgets. Solving the problem is not that difficult.
Viruses and antiviruses
However, it doesn't support transparency or multiple layers. Values \u200b\u200babove 95 are generally not useful. The default quality of 85 usually gives excellent results, but in many cases you can significantly reduce the quality without noticeably degrading the image.
When checking this option, each quality change is shown in the image display. Some information about advanced settings. If you enable this option, the optimization of the entropy encoding parameters will be used. The result is usually a smaller file, but takes longer to generate.
Preservation methods
How exactly? If a user is thinking how to save music from "VK" directly to his gadget, a lot will depend on what kind of device they are talking about. In the case of computers, everything is pretty easy. It is enough to download the VK Saver application for yourself. With its help, you can solve the task without any problems.
Editing the hosts file in safe mode
If this option is enabled, the slices of the image are saved in the file in an order that allows the image to progress during slow website loading. This option allows you to save the thumbnail with the image. Many applications use a small thumbnail image as a quick-access small preview image.
If a specific quality setting was added during upload, this setting allows you to use them instead of the standard ones. If you've only made a few changes to the image, reusing the same quality setting will give you almost the same quality and file size as the original image. This minimizes the loss caused by the quantization step compared to what happens if you use different quality settings.
If we are talking about mobile devices , it is recommended to install a program called VKPlaylist. This utility easily solves all problems associated with saving music from a social network.
That's all. In fact, everything is much simpler than it seems. Quite often, users think why music is not saved in VK. Instead, as already mentioned, it is recommended to simply find a way to save and download audio recordings directly to the gadget.
If the quality settings found in the source file are no better than your default quality settings, then the option "Use quality settings from source image" will be available, but will not be enabled. This ensures that you always get at least the minimum quality specified in the default settings. If you haven't made major changes to the image and want to keep it using the same quality as the original, you can do so by enabling this option.
Using this option, you can smooth the image when saving by making them smaller. But your image becomes somewhat blurry. The human eye is not equally sensitive across the entire color spectrum. Compression can use this to handle a little different colors , which the eye perceives as very close, as identical colors.

The article describes the case if the system was installed in the default mode (in windows XP, the administrator password is known or empty).
This is fine for images with faint borders, but tends to denature colors. Interlace check allows you to gradually display the image on the web page as it is loaded. Progressive display of images is useful at slow connection speeds because you can freeze an image that is not of interest; interlaced scanning is less efficient today with our faster connection speeds.
A file is a beautiful photograph that you would like to keep. Of course, you can copy the image, paste it into an imaging program, and save it. It's better with a trick. There you can directly access the images in their original format.

If the file that requires the add-in does not open, you might have an outdated version of the add-in that needs to be updated. Then you can decide whether to save, run or open the file. Not all files you receive warnings for are harmful.
In Windows XP there may be an item Run as ... In this case, you must specify (select) a username and enter a password in the dialog box.
On some systems, depending on the settings, the screen may dim and the User Account Control with request "Do you want the following program to make changes on this computer?"

Most likely, you will not see anything immediately after opening the etc folder. This is correct, it should be so. Pay attention to the list in the lower right corner circled in red. Now it should be written there Text documents (* .txt). And if with this choice in the file list window you see the hosts file (hosts.txt), this is most likely the work of a virus, it is better to delete it.

The folders marked with a check mark are synced on your computer. Uncheck the box next to folders that should not be synced with hard disk your computer. Selective sync: Selective sync allows you to choose which files appear in your file explorer and which are only accessible through the site. You can use both functions at the same time or choose one of them.
Selective Synchronization Conflicts with More Advanced Solutions

If you resume syncing an old folder with the same name using the custom sync settings, the new folder and its contents appear with old folder with the name of the new folder containing the attachment. The shared folder will continue to sync to other user accounts in that folder. If you want to remove yourself from shared folder , you can use.
