Download All on Playlist begins to download, but gets stuck
I have various playlists in iTunes that I created on my Macbook. Some are manual, some are smart playlists. I recently subscribed to iTunes match and I'd like to download all the songs from a couple of these playlists onto my iPhone 6 so I don't have to stream them when I'm not on a WiFi network (i.e. in the car).
To reproduce:
On my iPhone, I open the music app
Navigate to a playlist where I see at the top a button to "Download All (XX songs)" and the cloud download icon.
Tap the Cloud icon
The songs that have not been downloaded have an icon next to them that changes from a cloud to a spinning circle.
Some songs begin to download, changing the icon again, this time to a download progression indicator, but most songs never make it past the initial spinning circle and remain that way indefinitely.
If if tap on the spinning circle next to the stuck song, it initiates the download.
The songs that are stuck do not show up in the Downloads section of the iTunes app while the songs that are downloading do show up there.
This is fine for a few songs, but when I have a playlist with a few hundred items that just "spin" and won't download, this is ridiculous.
Attempted solutions that have not worked:
Closing the Music app and opening again.
Closing the Music app, closing background processing (flicking it up, off the screen) and opening again.
Turning off iTunes Match from my iPhone, waiting until the music has cleared off my iPhone, then turning it back on. (This actually created other issues as it tried to redownload thousands of songs at once.)
Signing out of iTunes Match on my macbook, waiting, then signing back in.
Soft resetting the iPhone (Holding HOME and POWER) until it restarts.
Background:
There does not appear to be a correlation between a 'matched' iTunes song and an 'uploaded' one. Some matched songs have downloaded, some haven't.
Smart playlists and manual playlists are both affected.
The playlist seems to know instantly how many can be downloaded. When I tap the Download All cloud, the number of songs listed in parentheses next to "Download All" immediately drops to a lower number (if it drops at all), then will not progress any further.
If a song exists in multiple playlists, it may download in one but get stuck in another.
Any ideas at all on how to fix this? Maybe an iOS bug? I'm running iOS 8.1.2 on an iPhone 6. Maybe something in my account?
I am having this problem and i could not have explained it better myself.
I have been a iTunes match users since launch and this is the first time i have had this issue. It only seems to be the problem since updating to 8.1.2 because i have no issues downloading whole playlists last week right after i had purchased my new iPhone 6, which was running 8.1.1.
I guess we can only hope to have this issue resolved with a new update, however iTunes Match seems to be becoming increasingly neglected in its support, and continues to be remarkably buggy. Fingers crossed for a fix soon.

I also have Jolly's problem. I found the iMovie 9.0.9 folder and tried to launch the older version of iMove. It would not launch. I removed all of the iMovie preferences from the Preferences folder, removed iMove 10 from the applications folder, and restarted my Mac. iMove 9.0.9 still won't launch and I can't access my videos created with the older version of iMovie. Is there a way to uninstall iMovie 10 and reinstall iMovie 9.0.9?
I am running Yosemitie on a iMac.

Hi, I'm trying to download apps some new, other that I had erased, but get stuck on the wheel and a sign that says waiting and nothing happens. Can't even erase the sign. What can I do?
If there are multiple apps trying to download at once, only one can download at a time and the rest say "Waiting" until it is then their turn. Try this. Double tap the icon of the Waiting app, and it should resume the download.

http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1725
Another thing to try - Turn the iPad Off & then back ON.
If that doesn't work:
• Log out of your iTunes store account. Go to Settings > Store > Sign Out Then press the Home button.
• Then press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously and don't release them when it brings up the Turn Off screen; keep holding them until the Apple logo appears.
• After restart, the Waiting should be gone.

I have my ipod backed up on multiple computers but only one computershows all my playlists. How can I get all my play lists to show up on multiple computers?
If you want to connect and use an iPod on more than one computer you need to change the update preference in the iPod Summary tab to "Manually manage music and videos" and click Apply.
Using iPod with Multiple computers
Managing content manually on iPod
If your iPod is set to update automatically take care when connecting to a different computer if your current one is out of commission. You will get a message that your iPod is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all songs from your iPod. Your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list from where you can change the update setting to manual and use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. -

You really don't need to do "secure Empty Trash." Just empty the Trash. If you don't have permission to access some items that means you shouldn't be trying to delete them or you are trying to delete a file you don't own.
If your external drive is used only on your Mac, then it should not be formatted ExFAT. It should be prepared as follows:
Drive Partition and Format
1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Apply button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Security button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
Try restarting the computer. Then again try to Empty the Trash. Do you still get the error? What are you trying to delete? -
I have an hd movie on both my ipad and iPhone 5, using airplay on my apple tv with my iPhone 5 plays perfectly but gets stuck with my ipad 2, almost like its buffering? I just want it to play smoothly like with my iPhone. Any suggestion?
About 6 months ago I discovered iTunes was set by default to 720p. These MUST BE CHANGED TO 1080P!!!!!!!!.......So I installed FULL 1080P file on my laptop on iTunes... When I download movies on iPhone 5s/iPad mini the file is 720p So within about 60 seconds of starting download of 1080p files into my laptop of iTunes purchases. It was at that moment that I realized it was that file my laptop has on file to sync to my Apple device...Ten minutes later when the first 1080P HD file was downloaded I must say... The resolution is amazing... I now use this same process to install movie files from iTunes.. In FULL 1080P.. Not 720P... Works on my iPad mini also... Avatar is 5.4 GB if installed over Wi-Fi... However sync with laptop and file is 6.5 GB in size... Called Apple told them... No reply yet.... You must delete 720P files from your laptop... Look for file size in any movie purchase and you will see DOWNLOAD IN 1080P.. This will open preferences in iTunes for you to the correct tab so you can change setting to 1080p from default of 720p... DELETE any downloaded movies already downloaded into laptop... You can check file quality by right click on any movie folder and the look at movie info... Will say 720p HD... Delete to recycle bin and iCloud will appear on each movie... Now download 1080P HD file... When completed. Right click any file to verify it is 1080P HD... The sync with device...... And get ready to be upset with Apple for holding back your device for the last 2 years 3 months and 16 days......And be ready to catch your jaw from hitting the floor when you see your screen in full 1080P HD.... Apple Engineer's were asleep.....
You will notice better pic quality... Apple by default is still sending the 720P file to the new iPhone 6 plus over wifi and sync.. howve this process above will give you full HD file for your Apple device... -

The Downloads keep getting stuck in the Browser download section
Even when they're completed it tells me "a few seconds remaining" yet I can find it in my PC. The download's Complete as in 5MB/5MB But it doesn't get off the Library and some times It Disappears from its destination(very Rarely). It's just that the downloads getting stuck in the Download Library and then the download starting again every time I start Firefox Again(I cant cancel the download it Just Pauses) sucks.
hello, this is a bug in the latest 32 beta 9 version which will be addressed in the release candidate 1 build which should be deployed via auto-updates to beta users later today.
a workaround for the moment would be to enter '''about:config''' into the firefox address bar (confirm the info message in case it shows up), right-click somewhere on the page and create a new string setting with the name '''browser.safebrowsing.appRepURL''' and value '''https://sb-ssl.google<i></i>.com/safebrowsing/clientreport/download?key=%GOOGLE_API_KEY%'''

When maverick starts to download, it gets stuck, it says wait and nothing happens. What can I do?
When I try to download mavericks, it doesn't work. The app appears to be starting to download, but then it says wait and nothing happens. What can I do?
Restart in Safe Mode, this will clear some caches. How you do this is when you hear the startup tone hold down the Shift Key until you see the progress bar appear. Let it fully boot, then open System Preferences - Startup Disk and ensure your internal HD is selected and then click Restart to test. If you still don't have luck you should run Apple Hardware Test in Extended Mode, you may need to run the test 2-3 times to report any errors. To run AHT you will need teh ORIGINAL Install Discs that shipped with the computer. Instructions for AHT are in:

Corrupted, tried usual fixes but get stuck
Okay, so last night I did my usual thing: plugged the Nano into the computer to give it an update, refresh my podcasts, etc. A message comes up saying my iPod could not be identified and needed to be unplugged then plugged in again. So, I do. Now it tells me the iPod is corrupted and needs to be recovered. So, it starts the "preparing iPod for recovery" thing. The little green bar moves to almost the end, then disappears. A message comes up saying "iTunes needs to prepare your iPod for recovery. Please leave your iPod connected.
Except that it never had been disconnected.
Still, I try again.
And again.
And again. This time using a newer cable.
Same thing.
So, it try the usuals, toggle Hold, Menu+centre button. Now I get a "Use iTunes to Restore" screen. So, I plug it in again and hit "restore" when it asks me to. Now it downloads an update and supposedly applies it, then tells me that the iPod will appear on my screen when it's ready.
Except it doesn't.
Green bar comes up telling me it's preparing iPod for recovery again.
And we get stuck in the same loop as before. "...Please leave your iPod connected."
Left it on overnight, charged it this morning, same deal.
So...any other ideas? Or is it time to send it in?Well, that's weird.
Never got around to reformatting, because on a hunch I decided to try uninstalling iTunes before I did, then just plain starting fresh.
Once I'd restarted my computer (I've tried this multiple times since the problem started, so I doubt it was the restart itself) after uninstalling iTunes, I held menu+centre button again before connecting it to my computer, because everytime I've tried to connect without doing this first (since the problem started) has resulted in...well, nothing. This time, I plugged it in, and suddenly it showed me the select language screen, like nothing had ever happened except a reset to factory settings.
All I can say is "***??"
But at least I have my iPod back...for now (+eyes it suspiciously+)
So, now I'll try dowloading iTunes again. Hopefully it all still works after that. -
I have just migrated to a new laptop and have set up Thunderbird with various work and personal accounts. All the gmail accounts work fine, but the I am experiencing some problems with my btinternet account.
1. When it sends an email if gets stuck at the end of sending and when I cancel it it says that the email could not be saved to the sent folder. Yet when I look at the sent folder it is there and when I check people have received what has been sent.
2. When I click on the inbox folder it starts thinking, but will not show any of the emails that are in the BT email inbox.
I have set up all the accounts I'm asking Thuderbird to manage as IMAP accounts.
Any help i sorting this would be gratefully received :-)https://wiki.mozilla.org/Thunderbird:Testing:Antivirus_Related_Performance_Issues#McAfee

I have a task at school that i cant get my head around. The task is to create some dimetables and create a facttable from those. The data i have chosen is from Export and Import cost for each year for a specific Product.
So The dimtables are : dim.Product, dim.Export, dim.Import and dim.Date ExportCost(column), ImportCost(column)
For example, the importtable looks like this:
00 bike 1998 10030
00 bike 1999 43400
00 bike 2000 88470
00 bike 2001 48631
01 meat 1998 176638
01 meat 1999 213696
01 meat 2000 225571
01 meat 2001 305054
and i have exporttable as well..after several hours, i have come to the conclusion that import and export tables are two different Fact.Tables, but, then the question, how do i normalize all this mess so i can later get some cubes and mesaures out of it??
Please help,Hi Vargo1,
In OLTP System Import and Export are from different tables and those tables will be normalized to avoid redundency. But, here in OLAP System data should be de-Normalized. the given sample data is correct but not a fact table.
Typical fact table should contain Keys(surrogate Keys that link the with the dimension table) and Measures(Quantifiable Values).
so the fact will contain only numeric columns. and Dimension table will have Key and its corresponding Name, description and Attributes that has Analytics value.
