And here we go again with corrupt download files unable to expand

There seems to be a pattern with major updates from Apple and the ability of the servers providing the content - be it iTunes or iOS or Mac OS updates - I have been unale to download sucessfully the larger updates but smaller (22MB for AirPOrt Utility) work fine.
The annoying thing is that in almost all cases the erorr dosen't occur until AFTER the download is complete - meaning it takes up allt he time and bandwidth etc with no result and you have to start all over again.
This has happened to enoguh people and with enough different software releases that I posit that it is NOT the result of any partiucalr configuration of netwokring and or hardware and or firmware and or OS version etc - but that the it is a systemic issue on the provider side of things.
Perhaps they (Apple's content providers) should stagger access or something - by time zone - or Apple should release updates over the course of a week - not all on the same day.
I would much rather get a message that the server is busy try agian later - or have one update a day - and have it work on the first try - that to waste time retrying the same downloads over and over again.

While it is entirely possible taht some combination of DOCIS or firmware etc on the user end is a contirbuting facotr - it is not hard to find numerous reports of exactly what I am talking about along with other similar issues.
I don't recall having this issue before I upgraded to 50Mbps download service - so there could be a connection there. But the "solution" in my case so far has been to just simply keep trying and eventually it works just fine.
I suppose I may have forggotten as they are so few and far between - but in my recollection - the ONLY issues I have had have been with software from Apple - whether downloaded via software update - or the App store - or iTunes - and no where else - on both Mac and Windows (had Apple Software Update fail to get iTunes update a couple times on Windows, but windows is easy to goof up if you have other installers running at the same time).
On the other hand I don't recall too many cases in the past where the downloads were so large as they are nowadays - and certainly the number of users after those downloads has only increased over time.

    Try to force your phone into recovery mode. Disconnect it from the computer's USB cord. Turn it off if you can by holding the sleep/wake switch until you see the red slide to off. If you can't turn it off, please continue. Press and hold the home button while plugging it into the computer's USB cord. Continue holding the Home button while iPhone starts up. While starting up, you will see the Apple logo. When you see "Connect to iTunes" on the screen, you can release the Home button and iTunes will display the recovery mode message.  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
    Then you can restore your phone:  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414

    It should unzip if you double-cick.
    What are you seeing happen when you do that?
    Select a .zip file in the Finder and Get Info (cmd-i). What is set for it to Open With. It should be Archive Utility.

  • Download error: Unable to expand "___" into "Downloads". (Error 2 - No such file or directory).

    I keep on getting the message "Download error: Unable to expand "___" into "Downloads". (Error 2 - No such file or directory)" when I try to unarchive zip files that I have just downloaded. Can anyone walk me through how to fix this?

    Possible solution if dealling with MobileMe gallery. 
    I ran into this problem while downloading my mobileme gallery albums and videos. I can't tell if that is where you ran into your problem or not, but if it is, this is what worked for me. Most of my albums downloaded and expanded successfully, however about 5 downloaded and would not expland giving the error you got. After several retries, I selected one of the albums, clicked the settings icon, changed the name (added "-2" to the name). This time the downloaded zip file expanded successfully. This worked for all of the albums that I had problems with.

  • How do i go on itunes and look at my libary with out downloading

    how do i get on my itunes with out download

    I think what you are asking is How can I access the iTunes Store online without downloading and installing iTunes on your machine?
    http://www.labnol.org/software/browse-itunes-without-installing-software/6657/
    Now a problem, or let me say limitation, with the iTunes store is that it is very tightly integrated with the iTunes desktop application and Apple doesn’t provide a web front end to enable users access the iTunes store without downloading iTunes software.

  • Nilibddc dll: opening tdms files with corrupt index files

    Hi there,
    i have a question regarding error handling, when using the nilibddc.dll.
    I want to use nilibddc.dll to open .tdms files. At the time i'm experimenting with some error cases and got stuck in one case:
    When i try to open a .tdms file with a corrupt .tdms_index file i get the error code -6211 (DDC_StorageCouldNotBeOpened).
    The .tdms_index file is corrupt because of errors while copying the file.
    The problem i noticed is, that i have a file lock on the corrupt .tdms_index file after DDC_OpenFile(...) (i can rename it, but i can't delete the file!?).
    As you can see in the code snippet - it isn't really special...
    int ddcError = 0, length;
    DDCFileHandle file = 0;
    ddcError = DDC_OpenFile (FILE_PATH, NULL, &file);
    // here i get ddcError == -6211
    if( ddcError == 0 )
    // do something with the file...
    ddcError = DDC_CloseFile(file);
    if( ddcError == 0 )
    cout << "no error - everything done" << endl;
    system("PAUSE");
     Do i miss something here? Should i use DDC_FreeMemory in somehow to release opened handles?
     I also tried to use the DDC_OpenFileEx(...) with readOnly set to true. But this doesn't change anything!
    Thanks in advance for help,
    Daniel
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hi there,
    thanks for the replies (and sorry for my late answer).
    The code above is from a simple Visual C++ Project that i use to run some tests with the dll.
    If i posted the question in the wrong topic please let me know - i found some other posts dealing with the dll so i thought i'm right here.
    I attached a tdms and the corresponding "corrupt" tdms_index file.
    The file handle stays 0 when i debug my code with that file and i receive the error -6211.
    I want to use the dll as part of an application that runs as system service. It reads and writes information from/to existing tdms files. After the information is read the application moves the files. So, if the tdms_index file gets corrupt (by whatever) i have the problem, that the index file is locked as long as the service is running and the file can't be moved. I can't tell how often this happens (hopefully never) but if i can do something against it, i would like to integrate this precaution.
    Thanks in Advance for any information & have a nice day,
    Daniel

  • HR Renewal: Client infotype with upload/download file functionality

    Hi Gurus,
    I am writing to you today cuz a client of mine asked me to adapt one of their client-specific infotype for HR Renewal. Now the old-legacy infotype was developed by someone else so I am just to adapt the functionality for decoupled infotype framework and front-end.
    The infotype has no subtype and record from 01.01.1800 to 31.12.9999 with a table-control listing all the pdf (or other format) file for a particular employee (such has income tax statement; SEPA bank account sheet; ID card etc... any kind of personal document relevant to employees). (that data is listed from a client Z table when opening the infotype; e.g. there is not sub-strucutrue in the pnnnn to  represent that information).
    upload, download and open file functionality is done via the infotype old-framework screen 2000 by some custom code merely replicated what is available by cl_gui_services.
    File are stored directly on the SAP system not using the GOS option;
    back-end stuff is more or less done and working at least I can do pretty much what I want in puit_ui tcode; read;modify... off course no file upload there
    front-end is another story; I have managed the FPM views for the infotype (dataset; biz card, etc) and also I have managed to list the existing file in the ATS list.
    However What I need still to do is to be able to upload from NWBC files to the back end system; and also download or open them. this seems to be a little harder than expected.
    I am now doubting if I should rather do a P&F FPM form based or if I can achieve what it is suppose to do? or maybe I should go back to the client and talk him through changing that infotype architecture? using subtype instead of a connection to a Z table and GOS services to store employee files seems way easier for me; but still I am facing the upload/download functional which I dont really no how to wrap around the FPM either it is ATS or GL2. I have checked indian-specific infotype 3743 has this uploading functionality (GOS) but no corresponding FPM I could inspire myself on!
    Also, not sure if I am missing something but when I try to change the value of one the field on the infotype pnnnn structure (that infty actually has one checkbox field) and save I end up with a dump because to BOL model does not find my entity (lo_entity). it s not the first infotype I am enabling for HR Renewal and I never had this error before.. I wonder what I am missing....
    Would you gurus oriente me a lil on how I should best proceed? should I rather use P&F? Your help and advise would greatly be appreciated!
    Thanks.

    Hello:
    So after some thinking through:
    - upload and download are handler by the FPM ATS feeder (client copy with enhanced options into to manage event method).
    - lo_entity without pointer causing dump occurred because I had inconsistently used the set automatic tag option into the FPM configuration floorplan editor.
    - PAOC_ASR_PERSONAL_FILE would be my recommendation but client want to follow on its own mini-dev for personal file hosting.
    Thank you gurus!

  • Dreamweaver FTP client corrupts downloaded files

    Hello,
    I am trying to edit a pre-existing website using Dreamweaver. When I download a local copy of certain files using the Get function in the Files menu, the local copy I get has a bunch of garbage inserted into it. The garbage displays on the page as non-standard characters (mostly Chinese or some such). The copy on the server is fine: The site itself displays properly in the browser, and when I use the browser to view the source of the server's copy, it is all fine and problem-free. Infact, if I simply copy and paste that source code and save it in my local copy of the file, the file works fine. I'd rather not have to do this every time I want a fresh copy of a file from the server, though, so I was wondering if someone could tell me what is corrupting the files when I download them using the Get function.
    Thank you,
    -Nick

    Thanks guys.
    I downloaded FileZilla. In FileZilla, the problem appears if I download in ASCII, and is fixed when I download in binary. Selecting binary or ASCII is very straightforward in FileZilla.
    However, I cannot get the problem to go away in Dreamweaver. I have edited FTPExtensionsMap.txt to dowload html in binary as described, but that doesn't seem to have any effect in Dreamweaver.
    I was wondering if there is anything else I have to do to ensure Dreamweaver transfers in binary, or if anyone has any further suggestions.
    Thank you,
    -Nick

  • Replace files with newer download files on NB100?

    Just got the NB100 for my daughter and we both love it to bits:)
    I'm doing the update and it's found 129 updates and after downloading, it's asking me at various points if I'd like to keep a modified file or replace it with the newer downloaded file.
    What do I do?

    I just went ahead and replace everything with newer versions and everything worked apart from the sound. two lines of typing at the terminal screen fixed this and everything now works!

  • External Hard Drive Suddenly Loaded With Corrupt Image Files (Mac User)

    I'm using an iMac with CS6. I have an external Maxtor 1TB drive that is 13 months old. I have had no issues at all with it until today, when I attempted to access  a PSD file from the drive and received an error message telling me that the document was not a valid photoshop file. I looked at the directory at this point and noticed that the preview icons for many of the photoshop and jpg files on the drive were disabled. In each of these cases, the files will not open.
    I have:
    1. Repaired permissions and volumes on the external drive.
    2. Changed the file extension and attempted to open.
    3. Opened the file in a hex editor and looked for extra lines of code, or text, or whatever.
    4. Copied the file to a different drive.
    5. Attempted to open in a different program (Preview, Illustrator)
    In no cases will the files open, and I'm stumped. The drive itself seems to be working fine. Not every file is affected, and the files that are affected are both in a variety of locations on the drive and were created over a period of years. Any ideas about how to resolve this issue will be sincerely appreciated.

    In no cases will the files open. The drive itself seems to be working fine.
    If you open the folder in Bridge and the thumbnails just show icons try purging the cache.  Go to Tools/cache/purge cache for xxxx folder.  Let thumbs rebuild and if you still have just icons for those problem files I would say the drive is not working fine.
    The problem may be intermittent, but I would have very little faith in it.  See if you can find other programs to test the drive for bad segements and read/write operations. 
    If you put files on this drive also put the same file on another drive at the same time until you get this figured out.  Drive failure is not the uncommon.

  • After what seems to be a normal upgrade to the new Lion OS. My computer counted down to restart and left a white screen with only a file folder in the center of the screen with a ? in it. How do I get my screen back to normal? Jim L.

    After what seems to be a normal upgrade to the new Mountain Lion OS X on my early 2008, 24" iMac. My iMac counted down to restart but did not turn all the way off. At the end of the count down the screen went white with a small file folder flashing on and off in the center of the screen. Also there is a ?, question mark in the miaale of the file folder. The screen responds to no keyboard or mouse commands. Request help.

    My computer was doing the same as yours hinikuru but now there is a change. I turned my iMac off by the button on the back and left it off for about an hour. When I just turned it on the center Apple logo was back and soon the  loading logo for the new Mountain Lion program came up. On the bottom of the logo there is a horizontal sliding bar that says the program will take 34 minutes to load. Time will tell. I have two iMacs and if this goes we'll I will install the new Mountain  Lion tomorrow. Hinikuru, I was about to follow the information in one of the side bar blocks titled "More like this" on the right side of this screen when my iMac seemed to fix itself! Good luck. I think not all is lost.

    Hi,
    One more question: How to setup a file adapter to trigger between 2:00am to 5:00 am? in a particular time
    For this you can Availability time planning (i.e you can schedule the file adapter to poll for the files with in the time interval i.e 2 -5)...
    for generating the file name at target side you need to look for the Dynamic Configuration as you need to change the timestamp for the file..and i am not sure how this works in BPM..
    in normal scenarios dynamic configuration will help....
