10.5.6 Combo download; apparently nothing there

I've tried unsuccessfully to download the Combo update from the Apple site twice now, and it stops short of the 600+ Meg transfer, and all that I can see in Safari's download manager is a message under the file name that says that the Disk Image could not be mounted. Any ideas why I can't seem to get the update onto my Mac? And has anyone else run into this?
I've done my Time Machine backup and repaired permissions, but I just can't seem to get the file so I can finish (start?) the upgrade. Strange indeed.

Well, it may have been an ISP issue. It was too late for me to try to get ahold of my provider for tech support, so I figured what the heck, I'll give the download another shot. Looks like the third time "was the charm", since it fully downloaded and mounted, giving me the Installer dialogues that I was expecting.
So now it's late, I'm going to bed, and I'll see how the upgrade goes tomorrow. Many thanks for the response.

I have rented a movie on iTunes and saw it downloading. Where is it now?? I have looked under videos, as someone suggested, but there is nothing there and no "rentals" tab - or any other tabs to choose.

It does take some time for a movie to download, could it still be downloading ? Also the rental tab is only there when you have rented a movie. If all else fails talk to iTunes support, they have helped me in the past.

After installing OS 6, I chose the option to have my podcasts download automatically, but they just say preparing to download and nothing happens. Is there still a way to manually download or is a fix coming?

I am trying to Download the free Maverick 10.9.1 and it's sitting there showing "downloading" but nothing indicates for the last 15 minutes that it is really doing it? Anyone out there has ideas to hare?

When I downloaded it, it appeared as if nothing was happening but it actually was being downloaded! It took quite some time to download. I suspect the internet speed affects how quickly it moves.

I have yahoo email and it downloads, but there is nothing there when I open it. Does anyone know how to get the message?

First of all, thank you for your patience, this is driving me nuts, can't imagine what you must think right now....
I made a screenshot that hopefully clears this up:
On the left is what I see when I open up Finder preferences, and then the Sidebar tab. As you can see all boxes are checked. The Middle folder that is open is what I see when I open Finder from the taskbar. which is fine by me. On the right however I have opened Macintosh HD. And as you can see, there is no sidebar, it just opens up with 4 folders.
Weirdly enough, when I tried to add a photo to my apple ID just now, the sidebar came up just fine. And I have found that it does that with more programs. So it is literally only when I open up Macintosh HD that it wont do it. I hope this clarifies it a bit more.
and to answer this question:
I'm not quite sure I understand. Is the sidebar layout you showed me not the one you want? Because if it is the one you want then you should just close the preferences window behind it.
this sidebar only pops up when I open the preferences - general - show in new finder part and then choose 'other'. I cant close the preference window behind it, because then it will close that pop-out folder as well..

I downloaded an audio book, it shows up in my library, but there's nothing there? I was charged for the download? iTunes won't allow me to try to download again? Help!

How does it show up in your library if it's not there?
What happens when you selec it and press Play?

Hello Curtis,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing when trying to downlaod Mavericks. I recommend emptying your trash and restarting your computer. Once you have done that, navigat the the Purchased tab of the Mac App Store and try downloading Mavericks again:

Hello:
In Finder, enter the name of something you downloaded. Once located, that should indicate where the item is stored.

I found a solution !!!
The problem is that the font SEGOE UI MAGER (one of the fonts) is not installed.
When you go on this link, you can download the missing font !
http://fontzone.net/font-details/Segoe+UI/
download this, open it and go on install !
Then you open your Itunes and your Text is there again. Maybe its a little bit to big but, its there !!!
Wish you a nice day !! :-D

My Laptop crashed. I had a full backup on Carbonite so the iTunes folder is there and downloadable. Is there any way just to import that and have iTunes on my new computer (Windows 7) recognize it?

Nothing gets imported. Simply restore the ENTIRE iTunes folder to the new/restored computer.
Download and install iTunes from Apple's website.
The first time iTunes is launched, assuming the ENTIRE iTunes folder is restored to the correct location, it will launch and be exactly as it was prior to the comptuer issues. If for some reason this does not work, close iTunes, hold the SHIFT key while launching iTunes and a prompt will appear to choose or create a new iTunes library. At this point simply point iTunes to the correct location for the existing iTunes library.

Open up the Adobe CC desktop application. There should be an Install or Try button, not a Download button, next to PS in the CC desktop app list.
It sounds like you’re using a browser with https://creative.adobe.com/products That page should work, too, but clicking the blue Download button is going to try to start up a program locally on your computer and you may have answered Disallow at some point in the past or you may have some internet security program that blocks such things so nothing is starting up.

I'm trying to download podcast and it says preparing to download, but nothing downloads. since i upgraded to the io6

im trying to download podcast and it says preparing to download but nothing happens, since i upgraded to the io6

Stacey Lou,
All I can say is I am having the same problem on my 4th Gen iPod Touch, but not my 3rd gen iPad. Occasionally, the podcast app will work, other times, all the downloads get stuck on "Preparing to Download". No obvious solution has presented itself.
Illaass, none of the previous discussions I see in "more Like This" seem to cover this topic specifically.
Idle speculation: Based on the behavior I have noticed elsewhere in iOS 6, I am convinced what is happening is if you start the podcast download someplace with a crappy connection, all subsequent attempts to download the same file will hang. I have seen this in app updates that stalled due a bad connection. All subsequent attempts to update the app also stall, regardless of the quality of the internet connection. I have to DELETE the app and reinstall it to get it to work. Maybe something similar is going on here with the Podcasts app. Unfortunately, there is no easy way to 'delete' the podcast and then re-download it.

When there are photos/videos in the Camera Roll, the iPhone is also detected as a digital camera when connected.
If your iPhone is not recognized by iTunes when connected, check this link.
