  • Apps only partially downloading?

    I'm running OS X Snow Leopard on a MacBook Air (I think its mid 2008 but I'm not 100% sure) and I recently tried to update my OS to Mavericks.
    The download worked up until a certain point (I think it was about 500 MB in). It then went from '45 mins remaining' upwards gradually to '420 days remaining'.
    It then stopped downloading and just displayed 'calculating...'
    I didn't think anything of it to begin with because I was going on vacation, but when I got home a week later, I purchased Civilsaton V on the Mac Appstore and left it to download. It did the same thing as the Mavericks download, getting stuck exactly at 1.09 GB. I repeated it with Civ and got the same result (always exactly on 1.09 GB) and then tried Mavericks again. When this didn't work, I also tried OS X Lion, OS X Mountain Lion and a few other applications. None of them worked except EG Chess, which did...
    I'm really confused so any help is greatly appreciated,
    Thanks.

    Check your download speeds here >  Speedtest.net - The Global Broadband Speed Test
    10Mbps or less and you will have problems downloading Mavericks. It's a 8GB file.
    And be aware, if you should need to repair the startup disk or reinstall Mavericks at some time in the future, that requires a broadband connection as noted here.
    Make sure your Mac meets Mavericks requirements >  OS X Mavericks: System Requirements
    MacBook Air (Late 2008 or later)
    Make sure there's sufficient storage space on your Mac. Control click the MacintoshHD icon on your desktop or open the Finder, right or control click startup disk in the Sidebar on the left then click Get Info.
    You'll see Available and Capacity. Make sure there's at least 15% available disk space.

  • Apps will only partially download

    So after trying everything under the sun I finally succumb to restoring my phone back to its original settings and wiping all data.  I thought this was successful with everything looking good and each app working  except now if I add new apps, it will still only partially download the apps and then freeze even though iTunes says it has synced!!  Any other suggestions?  I have only had this problem since downloading the new ios.

    It sounds like the issue you are having is with your Apple ID.  Not your iPhone.  Any amount of restoring wouldn't help verify your Apple ID.  You may want to try downloading apps on your computer to see if there is some sort of verification needed.
    A lot of times Apple will prompt to update your billing information or security questions when something has unexpectedly changed.
    You can also try to log into appleid.apple.com.

  • A music track I purchased only partially downloaded. I am unable to re-download it again as there is no option, so cannot get the full track I have purchased. Any ideas?

    I purchased an 8 minute music track on itunes which only downloaded about 22 seconds. It does not give me the option to re-download what I purchased on itunes, only to play it - so it only re-plays the partially downloaded track. I know the full track is available as I managed to download it to my iphone but when i connected my iphone to itunes the one which was only partially downloaded saved in my music directory overwrote the full version I managed to get on my iphone so I'm back to square one again. Any ideas? Thanks

    Delete the track from the iTunes library, allowing iTunes to move the track file to the Trash. Then download the track again from the iTunes Store via this procedure:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519
    That fixes the problem for many people. If problems with the track persist, go here:
    iTunes Support
    and follow the instructions to report the issue to the iTunes Store.
    Regards.

  • Movies will only partially download on iPad then stops

    Ipad2 rental movies will only partially download, always get a retry icon(attempted approx 10 different networks)
    Have tried on several wireless networks.
    Strange because have been able to download 2 other rentals with success.
    Additionally, 1 movie get running after 30 minutes, and then just stopped
    Quick time has checked out in a test
    Any suggestions?

    See if any of the following fix it :
    - close the iTunes store app via the multitasking bar and see if you can redownload the film when you re-open it : double-click the home button to open the taskbar, and then swipe or drag the iTunes store app's screen from there up and off the top of the screen to close it, and click the home button to close the taskbar.
    - a soft-reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
    - turn Settings > iTunes & App Store > Videos (under 'show all') 'on' and see if the film then shows in the Videos app with the cloud icon for downloading.

    What video format (including embedded audio) is able to be viewed and heard by both OSX Lion users and Windows users?
    You have to make a distinction between the container format (eg, AVI, MKV) and the video/audio format (eg, DIVX). For instance, without additional software, QuickTime can play .avi files with the IndeoVideo codec, but not .avi file with the DivX codec). Further, you have to make the distinction between what can be played using an independent player, eg, QuickTime Player, and what can be played within the presentation software (Keynote or PowerPoint).
    You can refer to
    <http://mac2.microsoft.com/help/office/14/da-dk/powerpoint/item/7acce321-36fb-48d 6-8c76-12cb3a0063ee>
    for suggestions. In practice, for presentation clips, I think you're limited to MPEG-2 and MPEG-4. I don't know if an additional MPEG-2 QuickTime component is required under Lion, you'll have to check that yourself. So, in the end, it's MPEG-4. Both Keynote and PowerPoint Win/Mac should be able to handle it.
    can anyone suggest a safe application that I can purchase from the apple app store that will allow me to convert video files
    What's a 'safe application'? And why do you have to buy it from the App Store (yuck!)?
    Handbrake, as mentioned by X423424X, is free and works very well. There are probably others, too.
    this forum is the best place to learn
    Perhaps, but it may not be the place to get answers to this question. Try a PowerPoint Mac user forum, they would have more experience in these x-platform issues. This forum is oriented more towards the hardware side of the MBP platform.

  • HT204406 I authorized a second computer on my iTunes account, and downloaded my library from the Cloud to my new computer. However, many songs only partially downloaded, and now I'm having a hard time getting rid of them to do full downloads.

    I authorized a second computer on my iTunes account and tried to get my first computer's library on my second computer via the Cloud. Many of the songs only partially downloaded, and I am having a hard time getting rid of the library with the partial downloads (so I can get full songs). I am considering nuking the current iTunes on the second computer and re-installing, giving myself a clean slate to work with. Is this the right way to go?

  • When alot of my emails come through to my iPad there is a message "This message is only partially downloaded, there is then a box to touch that says download remaining --kb

    When alot of my emails come through to my iPad there is a message "This message is only partially downloaded, there is then a box to touch that says download remaining --kb

    That's normal. The iPad Mail only completely downloads emails which are less than a certain size. Presumably the idea is to conserve network resources.

  • Phone only partially downloading messages

    Hi all,
    Can someone help me figure this one out? I have been helping out a lot on the wordpress.com forums, and I tell WordPress to notify me of any new replies to my topics via email, like I do with any forum I post in. However, with the wordpress.com forums, it does nt download the entire message. It will usually say "This message is only partially downloaded." then a button will be present telling me to download the remaining message in terms of number of kb. Is there some sort of setting I need to change to automatically get it to download the entire message all the time?

    No it's not, otherwise I would think I would have issues with these messages on my computer as well but no issues there. While this isn't an issue exclusively to the WordPress emails, it's most common with them. I had a message that came in from a mailing list that I am on that did something similar. Here, it actually allowed me to read some of the message, but then prompted me to download the rest. How do I automatically tell it to download the entire message regardless of size?

    I have the same thing happening on my iPod Touch 5th gen. Been happening for at least a month. I have updated to the most recent version of iOS which hasn't solved the issue. Must be a bug that they didn't get around to resolving yet, a year later. Really annoying to have it pop up when you are in the middle of a game though.

    Audiobooks are currently a one-time only download from the store, so if it didn't download properly then you will need to contact iTunes Support, which you can either do via the 'report a problem' page : http://reportaproblem.apple.com
    Or (and ff the 'report a problem' link doesn't work) then you can try this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

  • TS1398 My Ipad email seems to be locked.  E-mails keep coming in but I cannot open or delete them.  I am stuck on the e-mail page so now cannot do anything.  Any suggestion?  Eve

    My ipad e-mail seems to be locked.E-mails keep coming in but I cannot open or delete them.  As I am frozen on the e-mail page I cannot do anything els.  Any suggestion?   Eve

    Try closing the Mail app completely and see if it works when you re-open the app : from the home screen (i.e. not with the Mail app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Mail app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    If that doesn't work then also do a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • I have two excel files I cannot open or delete from my desktop.  One is titled 6ACAD200 and the other file is titled 8D73A700.  How can I get these off of my computer?

    I have two excel files I cannot open or delete from my desktop.  One is titled 6ACAD200 and the other file is titled 8D73A700.  How can I get these off of my computer?

    From the names I'd guess they are temporary files. If excel is running, quit and try again. If they still won't move or delete reboot. If they still won't move or delete...kill a chicken at midnight under an oak tree?
