Anyone else have problems downloading mavericks

i've just clicked download and am currently looking at the app store.  i'm on the purchases page and it just keeps flashing on me.  The box to the right flashes eith white with a black outline or completely black (where it should say installed etc).  According to my dock it says that mavericks is downloading.
i've tried cancelling the download a couple of times but wondered if there was anything else i could do.  if i pause the download then resume it, it carries on flashing at me

it's stopped flashing at me but now the download bar in the app store is just black and doing nothing.  how long should the download take and why would it do nothing.  and before you ask it isn't paused.
EDIT: after i posted this i noticed a small green section on the bar on the doc so it appears to be doing something slowly
EDIT: i thought a direct link to the internet via cable would make it quicker but thats started the flashing again in the app store which stops when i take the cable out

  • 2 hrs & 1.8GB lost as illust CC download crashes. Anyone else have problems with this?

    2 hrs & 1.8GB lost as illust CC download crashes. Anyone else have problems with this? (It was completely downloaded & just about to install and then it dropped out)

    Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partition & use Disk Utility from there to Repair the Disk, then Repair Permissions.
    If that doesn't work...
    To find out if it's system wide or user specific, try this...
    Open System Preferences>Users & Groups, unlock the lock, click on the little plus icon, make a new admin account, log out & into the new account.
    Does it work in the new account?

  • Anyone else had problems downloading RH9 trial version?

    I have unsuccessfully tried to download the RoboHelp 9 trial version using various browsers (IE, Firefox, Safari) on both my work and personal laptops.  Received the following error message when trying to download the trial this morning using Safari.  Has anyone else had problems downloading the trial version?  I just ran across download information on Adobe's website this morning stating that popups, firewalls, 3rd party security, etc. must be disabled before downloading.  Is this the problem or is there an issue at Adobe's end??
    I haven't used RoboHelp in many years and need to get the trial installed asap in order to compare against Flare 8.
    Thank you.

  • TS1424 Is anyone else having problems downloading "Haywire"??

    Is anyone else having problems downloading "Haywire"?!

    Below is the solution that worked for me ...
    I actually figured it out.  If you just go directly to iTunes, open the Redeem Code page, and input your promotional code without ever going to the website it tells you to, it works splendedly.  Not sure why letting the website open iTunes screws it up.

  • Does anyone else have problems with the new macbook pro trackpad?

    I exchanged my new macbook pro last week because there was a major trackpad lag. Every time I put it to sleep and woke it up, the trackpad would delay 5 or more seconds. I took it in to the Apple store and they said it could be a software issue and I exchanged it. However, I just opened up this one up from the package today, and there's still a lag. Does anyone else have problems with that? I don't want to exchange it again, so is there something I can do?

    Also, is it mandatory to run software updates when you first turn on your computer?

  • Anyone else having problems downloading samples from the iBooks store?

    A favorite author of mine tweeted to his fans that a free 80-page sample of his next book was available on the iBooks store: https://t.co/7ZfhpWYcfE
    But when I get to the store and click 'Get Sample', nothing happens.
    I can't seem to find any other discussion on this in the forums (perhaps I wasn't looking hard enough).  Anyone else have this problem?  Any ways around it?  I don't get an error message, but my mouse pointer seems to "hang" for a second after clicking the button, as if something's about to happen.  Nothing does.

    Try This...
    Close All Open Apps... Sign Out of your Account... Perform a Reset... Try again...
    Reset  ( No Data will be Lost )
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.

  • Does anyone else have problems with iTunes 10.3.1 BETA?, Does anyone else have problems with iTunes 10.3.1 BETA?

    Installed iTunes 10.3.1 on Mac and then all tunes vanished from my iPhone 4.  I hooked the phone to the Mac and Synced them together and everything returned to iPhone.  Next morning the problem was back.  I had to delete iTunes and reinstall an older version from my Time Machine backup.  It now appears to be working.  Has anyone else had problems with this?

    This forum is for questions from those managing sites on iTunes U, Apple's service for colleges and universities to post educational material in the iTunes Store. You'll be most likely to get help with this issue if you ask in the general iTunes for Mac forums.
    BTW, iTunes 10.3.1 is not a beta release. Only the iTunes in the Cloud service is beta.
    Regards.

  • Anyone else have problems receiving phone calls?

    My phone is a Chicago area code I received from Sprint in 2000.  When I moved to the NYC area in 2006 I stayed with Sprint.  Then in 2012, I switched to Verizon because I was no longer in a Sprint 4G area and didn't want to pay for 4G if I wasn't getting it.  It is important to note that I NEVER had a problem with Sprint voice.  My number was ported over to Verizon...and that's when the problems began:
    1.  I get phone calls (~60% of the time from my Chicago area code) and can't answer them (I see them ringing through but can't pick up).
    2.  I get voice mails magically appearing with no notice of a missed call.
    3.  I sometimes don't even get voice mails or notices of missed calls (my grandmother thought I was ignoring her!)
    The issues happen everywhere - at work, at home, in other areas of the country - it doesn't matter.  Verizon has replaced my phone 3 times, my SIM card 2 or 3 times - it's clearly NOT the phone.  I do NOT want to change my phone number - I move so much it's the only number folks know!
    I had a trouble ticket put in with the technical service folks over a month ago...and still no resolution because everyone I speak to over there has a different understanding of what the problem is - and they don't communicate with each other. 
    I am incredibly frustrated and angry with my service and am ready to switch back to Sprint...but I don't want to because I'm in love with their data service.
    Has anyone else encountered these issues at all?  And if so, what have you had done about it?
    Sharon

    Sheritah,
    Thank you for reaching out!!!
    I've copied your questions into my reply and have answered each question individually.
    Have you reached to our technical support team about your concerns with the network ticket?
    Yes, I did reach out but was given the blow-off.  I was told they'd reopen the trouble ticket, but I haven't heard from them since, even after emailing the guy who told me I'd be his contact.
    What exact issue are you having?
    1.  People call me and I can't answer the phone.  I swipe the screen (as is normal) but the call is automatically dropped.
    2.  People call me and the phone doesn't ring or show any indication that there is an incoming call - but I get the "missed call" notification after the person has hung up or left a voice mail.
    3.  People call me, the phone doesn't ring and there is no "missed call" - but I get I voice mail.
    4.  Sometimes voice mails arrive days later.
    Where are you located?
    I reside in 08872 and work in 08807, but the problem is not limited to these two zip codes and will become incredibly angry if the suggestion is made otherwise...I am a broken record, incredibly frustrated and no one wants to believe what I say as the truth.  The last time I dealt with the guys on the end of the trouble ticket they INSISTED that I only have these problems at home and work...that's just ********. (sorry for the bad language )
    Here are some places this has occurred on more than one occasion:
    1.  08872 - current home (NJ)
    2.  08807 - current work (NJ)
    3.  07601 - friend's home (NJ)
    4.  07050 - previous home (NJ)
    5.  11572 - husband's home (NY)
    6.  11422 - husband's work (NY)
    7.  60091 - parent's home (IL)
    8.  94568 - work trip location (CA)
    In terms of frequency, it happens at least once per week.
    I never had these problems with Sprint - I was with them for 10 years.  I switch to Verizon because of the great data (and it IS great data) and then suddenly I have all these voice issues.  You should know I am not a technophobe and I certainly know when the volume is up/down or when the phone is powered on/off.  I've been using smartphones for 10 years.
    Please help.

  • Has anyone else had problems downloading these TV episodes?

    For the last few weeks, I've been having problems downloading some TV episodes. They begin downloading and then stop consistently at the very same spot, no matter how many times I clear out the "downloads" folder, de-frag, etc.
    Eureka - Season 2 - Maneater (stops at 414.6MB)
    24 - Season 1 - 1-2am (stops at 198.2MB)
    24 - Season 2 - 9-10am (stops at 14.9MB)
    24 - Season 2 - 3-4pm (stops at 54.4MB)
    24 - Season 2 - 5-6pm (stops at 110.0MB)
    24 - Season 2 - 6-7pm (stops at 80.0MB)
    24 - Season 2 - 9-10pm (stops at 382.5MB)
    Dresden Files - Birds of a Feather (stops at 462.3MB)
    The Closer - Season 3 - Til Death Do Us Part 2 (stops at 61.7MB)
    I'd like to mention that during the period of time that these files have come to reside perpetually inside my download queue, I have been able to download other files (TV Episodes, music, games) perfectly fine.
    I have tried all of the canned "solutions" I've been given by iTunes tech support, and have received no assistance to finding a resolution to this problem. Any guidance from anyone at this point would be greatly appreciated!
    Thank you!

  • Does anyone else have problems with built in website url links in a PDF not working in iBooks?

    I have several magazine PDF files that have lots of website url links built in to them.
    When I click the links when viewing the PDFs via iBooks they often don't work.
    However, the exact same PDF when viewing/clicking using other PDF apps like GoodReader work perfectly fine.
    Nothing else is different except which app I am using to view the PDFs.
    Anyone?

    It would appear iBook app doesn't support hyperlinks except within a document.

  • Does anyone else have problems with retina screens? My eyes are constantly hurting and my eyesight is getting worse in a short period of time.

    I've been using high quality retina screens for about nine months now and my vision has gone downhill quickly. I got my first ever prescription for eye glasses and my eyes are constantly strained. High resolution screens also cause other problems with my normal work flow as a web designer but that is a whole other topic.

    try turning down the brightness, If i even have it past half way my eyes hurt. maybe it'll help

    Follow this link to a person who has had the same problem and "Digital Girl"s fix seems to work as I am downloading apps now on my iPhone and on my macbook.  Once the phone is done, I'm going to confirm that it worked as well on the other computer as well.

    Re: iTunes Error Message: iTunes Store is Temporarily Unavailable 
    Feb 4, 2012 4:23 PM (in response to mswinger)
    Hi mswinger, I'll do my best to try and help, go to the terminal and put lookupd -flushcache if that doesn't work, you can try sudo dscacheutil -flushcache while logged out of iTunes.
    Is there an "ampersand" in your account details: name: address, etc? Or is there a "period"?  If so, you could try removing those, click update, then go to your billing detaisl and see if there is anything that needs to be updated.
    Clearing the DNS Cache might help with speed and reset any error messages you are getting with any downloads in waiting.
    I hope you'll able to get it working.
