Adobe Media Downloader pauses and will not resume (June 18 deadline!)

As an Adobe Photoshop Elements subscriber, I scanned and stored 924 pictures, most of them TIFFs of original family photos from the 19th century. Adobe has emailed me to download all the TIFFs before June 18 because of the platform change to Revel, which does not support TIFFs. As instructed, I have downloaded and installed AdobeAir and Adobe Media Downloader and I have made numerous attempts, on two different PCs (both Windows 7), to make the download. Each time, Media Downloader pauses, usually at about image 400, and says to check if the disc is available (plenty of room on my drives, and I have also attempted with a clean external hard drive) and then to resume. Clicking "resume" just brings up the same message endlessly. So I restart Media Downloader and it begins the process again at image 1, only to eventually pause again and ask me to resume. So hard drive space isn't the problem, and my ISP is Verizon FIOS with measured speeds above 75/35, so these pauses shouldn't be being caused by network speeds.
    Given the time constraint,  I tried to resolve this problem today through Adobe's "pay-for-help" telephone line, but was told that the only support for Adobe Media Downloader is through this forum!
     Suggestions on how to make a complete download of my TIFFs when Media Downloader keeps hiccuping?

Hi, Pattie. I uninstalled Adobe Media Downloader, downloaded it again
and reinstalled, began "Download" to a new external hard drive with 1.81
TB of available space (total download is 3.71GB) ... and got to
"Downloading 9 of 924 items" before getting the error message: "The
Download has unexpectedly paused. Please check if your drive is
accessible and click on "Resume" to continue your download." I click on
"Resume" but it just brings up the same error message repeatedly. So
please help me with an alternative method.

  • OS X Lion stuck on pause and will not resume

    I have tried multiple times to install OS X Lion on my iMac, however, now it simply says that is stuck on pause, and even if I try to resume the download, it won't do anything. We have tried restarting the computer multiple times, but no matter what it simply stays stuck, or when we cancel it, which is what it about the only thing it will let us do, and try to reinstall it again, the icon looks like it's going to the dock and then disappears. I'm at my wits end, and I don't know what else to do. Can someone please help?

    One thing worth noteing;
    I've also jumped thru many hoops as posted !
    I now seem to be downloading and have come to realize
    the progress bar is finally showing progress  YEA!
    [ it wasn't apparent initially with small dock icon. ]
    I have SBC Global DSL which only has 1.77 mpbs with busy 4 user LAN.
    be patient ... apparently it can take a while.

  • OS X Mavericks download has paused and will not restart. How can I get it to restart?

    OS X Mavericks download has paused and will not restart. How can I get it to restart?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    First, see if the download is paused and if you can resume it. To do so, open the Mac App Store, go to Purchases and press "Resume" next to OS X Mavericks.
    If the download does not carry on, I would recommend you to restart and start the download all over again.

  • My book download has paused and will not download

    Trying to download a book to my iPad 1 and it has paused and will not restart.  I have since successfully downloaded another book ( sample) and also it's downloaded too my phone- I cannot delete the partial download - or sync from my iMac
    Any thoughts?
    many thanks

    Hello Louise,
    I would be eager to download a book I purchased as well.  I found a couple of resources that might help with downloading this purchase.
    First, I recommend checking to see if the download was interrupted.  You can use the steps in this article:
    iTunes: How to resume interrupted iTunes Store downloads
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1725
    If the book does not download after following the steps in that article, I recommend trying to download the book from the list of past purchases.  As long as you are signed in with the same Apple ID you used to purchase the book, you will not be charged again.  You can find the steps to do this in the following article:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
    If you are still not able to download the book, I recommend reporting this issue to the iTunes Store:

  • Download for Photoshop Elements 11 pauses and does not resume

    Download Photoshop Elements 11 using Chrome.  After several hours the download pauses and does not reume.

    I downloaded Photoshop Elements directly from Adobe.  I used the download assistant provided by Adobe.  Since this post I have been able to complete the download.  My problem may have been a slow connection either from Adobee or at my end.  I discovered that I hade also been downloading a large Microsoft update that may have impeded my efforts to download Elements.  Thank you for your help.

    Hi Goofy Goat,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    It sounds like you have done some great troubleshooting for your iPod nano that is not responding. In this situation, if resetting it did not resolve, I would suggest restoring the iPod back to its factory settings and then sync your content back onto it from iTunes. Please use the following article as a resource for restoring.

  • IBooks download quits and will not restart

    Purchased and book and it started to download, then quit and will not resume. Message says book is downloading, but it is not.

    Hi JSMosby,
    Thanks for the question. If I understand correctly, a book is not downloading but says that it is. I would recommend that you read these articles, they may be helpful in troubleshooting your issue.
    Download past purchases
    If you’re having trouble downloading an item, make sure you can download the item again from iTunes in the Cloud. You might want to sync the content to another device instead.
    Sync your iPhone, iPad and iPod with iTunes using USB
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

  • The document shows in the printer viewer, but it is paused and will not print.

    Hi, when ever I try to print anything, the doc is in the viewer but is always paused, and will not print. I've tried to restart, but it will not do it.
    Any advice?

    Hi, are you referring to a problem in trying to print via the ePrint service e.g.. sending an email to your printer's email address, or printing directly from your PC/laptop?

    I FIXED IT MYSELF.
    I simply let the iPod run out of battery.
    Then it said CONNECT TO POWER.
    And then I did.
    And after 15 minutes, it worked!

  • Mavericks download was interrupted and will not resume

    I'm upgrading from 10.6.8 that is current and updated to Mavericks.  I began the download, all was well until about 3/4 the way through and my internet connection was interrupted.  I received a warning window saying that the download was interrupted and I lost my internet connection.  I reconnected to the internet and I cannot seem to get the download going again.  The app icon that was downloading on my icon bar is no longer there, the App store does not give me the option to resume the download, I've followed multiple walkthroughs detailing how to restart an interrupted download to no avail.  The App store 'purchases' tab has OS X Mavericks on it with the option to download and nothing else.  I've clicked the download button to either restart or resume and I get the gray wheel of fortune and when that stops spinning, nothing happens.  The gray download button turns white while the grey wheel of fortune is spinning but shortly afterwards it returns to a dark gray.  I've navigated back to the OS X Mavericks page and the download option says 'downloading' but as far as I can tell, nothing is happening.  I have no icon on the launch bar showing that it is downloading and my network monitor does not show that I'm downloading anything.  Also, going to the 'my account' tab in the App store and looking for 'hidden downloads' is unsuccessful.  When I open the 'my account' tab, I don't even have the option to view any downloads, only account information and my account nickname.   
    For reference, I'm deployed over seas with a poor internet connection.  This is now day 3 of trying to download OS X Mavericks, so any help would be appreciated. 

    I had the same problem, then I noticed it was downloading even while it was showing paused. After clicking resume, look at your Launchpad icon and see if you have a progress bar below the icon.
