10.4.6 download problem

Hey all
I had a software update come up last night for 10.4.6 update, i started it downloading and went to bed - when i got up this morning it said it failed to download. Then nothing would work, browsers, messengers. So i restarted it and now it wont get past the white/gray screen with the apple and the spinny loading thing.
I have tried to start it up in safe mode to see if i can reinstall tiger but nothing happens - just stays on the white/gray apple loading screen.
Hellllllllp!!!!!!

The same issue has hit a number of users and we've all experienced exactly the same symptoms. If you boot in verbose mode you'll find it fails to launch /sbin/launchd. Disk Repair or Permission Repair will not help you. There is speculation that either a corrupted package has made its way to an Apple server or some computers just bork with the update.
10.4.6 does mess with early boot files for all PPC Macs hence the odd dual reboot. I suspect therefore that if you don't update successfully then files in your root disk will be corrupted in a way that Disk Utility cannot find. Your only possible way of fixing this outside of an Archive & Install (or considerably terminal hackage) is:
Hook your Mac up via Firewire to another Mac and boot your Mac in target mode.
Download the Combo 135Mb 10.4.6 update from the Apple website.
Manually install the update on your Mac HDD (your Mac HDD should appear as a valid install destination).
Reboot your Mac and let it go through the motions.
My own opinion is that 10.4.6 was a big and nasty upgrade that seems to have affected some PPC owners in a non-friendly way.

Rental movie download problems

I

I have been having downloading problems for the last few days and despite all the tricky advice. iTunes jut can't solve the problem.
These are some of the actions taken:-
Uninstall and reinstall iTunes
Turn off Anti Virus (didn't like that one!) Then uninstall anti virus!!!!!! No!!!
Change preferences in iTunes
Update iTunes...etc etc etc etc etc! ZIP!
Think I will go back to Big Pond Movies as is a lot easier and less stressful.
Do I Tunes think everyone has telescopic eyesight? The text is so small (just like all their printed matter) have to use a magnifying glass.
As you can detect, I am less than happy.

** 6i Download problems - Product Management speaks **

Firstly on behalf of the 6i Product Management team let me appologise for the problems you have been experiencing with Technet and specifically with downloading 6i.
I watch this forum and answer questions time permitting whenever I can, this forum (along with comp.databases.oracle.tools and ODTUG) are monitored by Product Management.
You need to understand that Oracle is a very big company and that getting all the little parts to work seamlessly together sometimes doesn't work as well as it should, so please be assured that Tools PM is working as hard and as fast as it can to ensure that 6i is available for you to download.
I have made enquiries today to find out what is happening at Technet. This is a division of Marketing based out of the US HQ, the PM teams have no responsibility for the management or maintenance of this site, we merely monitor mail lists and post our new software when complete.
I am waiting for information on the action plan to resolve the performance and download problems being experienced by the Developer community.
In response to some of the comments posted about downloading
It is obvious that 6i has been out for a WHILEActually this is not true, it has been available for download for a while, but not orderable..
Product Release Point Dates:
(1)
Release to MFG - 24-MAR-00 (This date is used by engineering and is the start of the 16-week period for the 1st patchset.) THE PRODUCT IS NOT ORDERABLE YET.
(2)
Release to PRG - 14-APR-00 (This is the M&D hand-off date for the Tools CD Pack.) THE PRODUCT IS NOT ORDERABLE YET.
(3)
Between 6:00PM PST and midnight 27-APR-00 - R6i, Windows, was added to the Oracle Store and officially orderable.
I have seen many posted messages, iTARS, etc referencing the availability of downloading forms updates, availablity of getting patchesAs you will see from the information above, this is not possible, patch one for 6i will not be released until 16 weeks after 24-MAR-2000
How much do we have to pay and who do we have to kiss to get a freakin update from Oracle? As the author of this comment has a support contract, they will know that you do not automatically get updates for products for which you hold licences. You merely need to order the latest version of the CD. Your support Account Manager will be able to advise you how to do this.
Once again, please be assured that we value your time, effort and feedback and that we do watch this forum with great interest.
I hope you found this information useful.

As an update on the OTN performance problem I talked about earlier, I got some info from Global Ops
Customers are trying to download software from ftp.oracle.com, a server managed by the datacenter. The server is actually 2 servers (mirrored), with 1,400 connections (700 per machine). Bottom line is that ftp.oracle.com doesn't have enough connections to support the number of users trying to download Oracle products each day. Approval has been received for a dedicated OC3 pipe to the ftp server; it's believed this will boost the current capacity to 4-5 times what's there today.
Other improvement measures are being investigated.
Whilst this is being resolved, please consider ordering the CD which is free. I have just tested this and it worked for me ;)

Open up the nvidia firewall.
Click on 'Active Armour'
Click on 'Application'
change the setting from 'offloadable' to 'notoffloadable'
This solves the download problem.
Indigian, you are The Man!!!!!
That solved it !!! Thank you very much!

I have been trying to download Oracle 9i for the past three weeks. Every time I try to download the above mentioned files the file Login.jsp gets copied. I've tried using both GetRight and GoZilla!
Could someone please advise me what to do. Any help would be appreciated.

I recently downloaded Oracle9i personal edition, it took me more than 7 hours, and the downloaded zip file is A91514-01.zip. You need to check how reliable is your internet connection. regards. winston

Firefox downloads "failed". Have reset FF, been through "downloading problems" trouble doc, and uninstalled/reinstalled FF w/o luck. Safari is able to download.

Recently I am unable to download anything in FF. It briefly acts as if downloading, but the file is corrupted and the next to the file in the DL manager it just says "Failed".
I tried Resetting FF. No luck.
Then I tried all the steps in the "downloading problems" support doc. No luck.
I tried with all add-ons disabled. No luck.
In desperation, I searched for "Firefox" and moved two folders called Firefox, the application, and a .plist file to the trash (still there) and redownloaded Firefox and reinstalled. No luck.
If I click on a .pdf it will be be viewable, but it won't download. It's not just .pdfs that fail, it is any file I try and download.

I have the same problem and I also tried a lot of troubleshooting advices without any success.
The problem seems to be with OS X Parental Control turned on and using a other account than the one of the admin.
The user sl-nw found a short-term solutions (changing back to version 31, working like a charm or turning off Parental Control), yet a long-term solution is needed:

Perhaps Firefox should add a bug fix to their next update.

There have been previous threads on OTN on this very subject.

Hallo,
"Eingabe der Seriennummer zusätzlich eine "alte Seriennummer"" hört sich nach einer Updateversion. Falls keine Vorversion vorhanden ist, ist diese leider "Wertlos". Also nochmal genau auf die Box oder den Bestellvorgang schauen.
"Es kommt die Meldung: "Beim Extrahieren einiger Dateien ist ein Problem aufgetreten". Passiert manchmal beim Auspacken der Installationsdateien. Einfach mal 7-zip installieren und das Installationsprogramm auspacken. Da drinn gibt es einen 32bit und 64bit Ordner mit den eigendlichen Setups. Das korrekte Setup starten.
Die aktuell LR Version kann hier Adobe - Lightroom : For Windows : Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5.7.1 heruntergeladen werden. Eine älteren LR5 Version muss vorher nicht installiert werden. Allerdings löst auch das nicht das Problem mit der "Update"-Lizenennummer.

[Problem] Service Report - SAP EWA - Download Problem

Hi Gurus
I managed to create and activate EWA for Solman 4.0
but I got problem with the result generated by Solman. Below is the quote from the EWA report
Download Problem
We were unable to perform a correct analysis because essential parts of the download data are missing. This is most likely due to a problem with data collection or transfer.
Recommendation: Check the log for this session in the Service Data Control Center (execute transaction SDCC or the new SDCCN in your system). If an error is listed, perform the Service Preparation Check.
Implementation: To perform the Service Preparation Check, execute transaction SDCC and choose Information -> Service prep. check, or if you are using SDCCN, create a new "Service Preparation Check" task.
i've already run the service preparation check and follow all the recommendation.
and from report RTCCTOOL, i didnt get any recommendation to follow
can anyone help me with this ? thanks

Hi Didik,
have you run RTCCTOOL in both systems (SolMan, ECC)?
ST-A/PI level is OK
ST-PI - 2005_1_700 is not on latest Support Package (SolMan, ECC).
RTCCTOOL will check Support Package Level as well as the availability of important statistical data (for example Workload Statistics, tx ST03N).
Which parts of the EWA do not contain data?
Best regards,
Ruediger

LR3 download problems, Adobe Australia. Question for Adobe or anyone?

It's been several days now since I online-purchased my upgrade to LR3 from Adobe Australia's online store. Serial numbers came through fine by email, no problem. However, when I went to download the file from the link provided in the Serial number email, another issue altogether - Akamai download manager installs then chugs away until 99% download, then freezes the entire system requiring cold restart to resurrect things. Have now tried this several times, always with the same result.
The process does generate a file in the download target directory, called "Lightroom_3_LS11.exe.dlm", 164,378 Kb, as you can see it still has the .dlm extension.
Question to Adobe or anyone else who might feel they know: has Akamai simply failed to remove the .dlm extension, and if I manually remove the extension, is the file likely to work?
The 'alternative download method' on the download site provided to Australian customers seems to be a dead link, nothing happens when I click on that. Will have to try Adobe Australia's helpline, but that is only 9am-5pm Mon-Fri so I have to wait until next week (it's Friday night here and Monday is a public holiday). No 24/7 help in Asia Pacific it seems!
Note, I did check all of the security settings in IE8 for compliance with Akamai requirements before starting.
Very frustrating, particularly after having zero problems with online purchase/download of all previous versions (I've been a constant user since version 1.0). The difference this time seems to be the Akamai download manager, perhaps particularly in its implementation on the Asia Pacific download site, as US customers seem not to be having the same level of problems?
My system:
Windows XP Pro SP3

Just a further update re. my LR3 download problem:
I managed to successfully download the LR3 update file using another computer running Vista 64. That computer was also running different antivirus software (McAfee Security Centre) so that may perhaps also have had an effect.
So for anyone who may be be having similar problems, my experience downloading LR3 from the Adobe Australia website has been:
Akamai download manager failed to download the LR3 update file on the following system:
Windows XP SP3
Norton Internet Security 2010
Akamai download manager successfully downloaded the LR3 update file on the following system:
Windows Vista 64
McAfee Security Centre
Cheers,
David
