Can I download a file in different sessions or should it be in a single session? In other words can I pause the download of a file, shutdown/restart my system and then resume download from where I left off? Or will it start from the very beginning?

If a server supports resuming downloads then the download should continue where it left off.<br />
You can test that by simple starting a large download and wait a minute or so before pausing it.<br />
Then you can close and restart Firefox and see if resuming works.
You can set the pref browser.download.manager.quitBehavior to 2 on the about:config page.<br />
That will make Firefox ask for confirmation if you want to cancel the download if you close Firefox.

Does the iPhone remember where you left off in podcasts? What's the latest

The music player in my Nokia phone only remembers where you left off for the last track-- switch tracks or turn off the phone and it returns you to the beginning of the track! It's absolutely annoying and renders the podcast playing feature almost useless.
I've been looking at the iPhone and iPod Touch and found a bunch of threads in the forums that indicate that both have had similar problems (though there are some workarounds).
Has Apple fixed this? Do the iPhone and iPod Touch now remember where you left off for EACH podcast you were listening to?
It would be wonderful if that were the case and might stop my fence sitting on buying one!

I've had my iPhone for several months and this is the most aggravating issue. Before finding this thread I had no idea why or when it would lose it's place. If it's only happening when you synch that's good to know, but not much of a work-around.
Where the iPhone had my old iPod beat was the fact that my podcasts were always magically up to date. This is because the iPhone is always getting plugged in to charge and synch while the iPod stayed in the car all week.
I hope someone will post back with more details for work-arounds.
Better yet, I hope Apple fixes this bug. AND, makes navigating within long audio files (i.e. podcasts) as elegant as it was on my old clickwheel iPod.

I recently had my iphone 4s screen repaired because the screen was cracked. It was all ok and then a few weeks later something strange happened. My touchscreen works, but the screen doesnt show, you can see the light in the background but no picture?

The LCD Display connector has partially come loose from the logic board connector, and simply needs to be pressed back down into place. Or the front screen assembly is now faulty, and needs to be replaced again.

Audiobooks wont "start from where I left off" after 3GS upgrade to OS4

Hi All,
I am having a bit of a problem with my 3GS iPhone that is running OS4. When listening to an audiobook, if I stop listening to the book, and instead watch a movie, listen to a song, or another book, my place in that original book is lost.
The bookmark is kept if I stop the book and later come back- but if I do anything else in the iPOD, the bookmark is gone.
It seems as if only 1 bookmark can be stored at any 1 time- whether its a movie, a song, or an audiobook..
Previous versions of the software never had this limitation, so I am suspecting that this is a bug.
(yes, I have the 'start playing where i left off' selected in the setting menu)

I have the same issue, but I'm listening only to one audiobook at a time, I do not switch between Audiobooks and videos.
Usually I plug my iPhone (3GS) into my car cradle and select the Audiobook via the car stereo iPod interface. It happens very often that the book starts from the beginning when I do it that way. What I usually do is, that I start playing the Audiobook from the iPhone and plug the phone into the cradle afterwards. This works most of the times. Additionally I make a screenshot of the iPod app after leaving my car, so I have a "Backup" of the last playback position.
The bad thing is, that it was working perfectly with iOS 4.0.1 and 4.0.2, in iOS 4.1 it starts to become crappy.
I had the same issue on my iPhone 3G ever since.
Regards,
Frank

How to play podcasts in order, and how to pick up where I left off?

I have several music podcasts I listen to. I made Smart playlists for each, so the podcasts show up in Playlists. Two questions: How do I play them in order? And, after I pause after listening to one, how do I continue listening when I wish? With the previous generation (the one with video capabilities), I could highlight the Smart playlist in Playlists and click the "play" button...all podcasts would play in order. If I switched away from the podcast and listened to the radio or even a different podcast, my Nano would remember where I left off. I love the new Nano and its tiny size, but the podcast thing is driving me batty. Thank you for your help.

Okay, I'm a dork. I accidentally swiped my volume screen this morning, and discovered the answers to all of my questions.

How can I get my iPhone to play the last track the music player was playing from where it left off at the same volume even if I switch my phone off?

The music player always reverts back to where I started the day before at a low volume and it's driving me mad! On a previous phone with earlier IOS there was the option to play from where the track left off when stopped - how do I find this option now?

If you click on the column headings in iTunes it will sort the tracks by the column you have selected.
Try clicking on the Album column, this should then put the tracks in the right order. You probably have the Track column selected which will keep the tracks in alphabetical order by Track name.

Can I pick up from where I left off with my Adobe Captivate subscription?

Hello,
I had a subscription for Adobe Captivate for almost two years. I fulfilled my 12-month requirement, and paid my monthly subscription price for another 10 months after that.
About 6 months ago now, I canceled my subscription.
Question: Is there a way to simply reactive my subscription?

Hi There,
The best way is to place a new order of Captivate 8 annual subscription online by visiting our website :-
Elearning Software, Screen Capture, Mobile Learning, HTML5 Publishing | Adobe Captivate 8
Click on buy and then choose subscription under I want to buy drop down menu and place a new order by which you will not face any billing/ credit card issues in future.

Is there a way to stop and then resume an ipod video conversion process?

I am trying to convert videos to play on my new iPod Classic. The conversion process is painfully slow. I need to move the computer. Is there a way to stop the conversion process and then resume it later where you left off? The only way I have been able to figure it out is to put the laptop to sleep and then open it up later to resume. This is a problem too as I have an external USB drive hanging off the side. Any ideas?
Thanks all in advance for your help.

AFAIk you can just uninstall Thunderbird and reinstall. The profile will not be deleted. If you want to make sure, however, make a backup of your profile folder first.
Read up on "backup", e.g. here : http://email.about.com/od/mozillathunderbirdtips/qt/et_backup_prof.htm
(google is your friend :9 )
P.S. _ Matter of fact you should regularly backup your data (e.g. your thunderbirdprofile) to some place different so as not to loose it all, if a thunderbird-bug/virus/windows-failure/Layer8-Problem corrupts your data.

I have downloaded songs and when I play them they stop playing. I have to hit the sleep/wake button for the ipod to come on and hit play, then the song will continue playing where it left off

Why are songs cutting out in the middle and my ipod shutting down?I have to hit the sleep/wake button to turn it back on and hit play again. Then, the songs will play from where it left off.

Hello bradesparza,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

Deleting in Lion OS - How to pick up where I left off?

Not sure if many of you are familiar with this.
In Snow Leopard, say if you are browsing a large selection of files or images, and as your hit the "down" arrow key, you come across a file you want to delete. You then cmd-del and it's gone, the next file is then highlighted, and u can continue hitting the arrow key to continue browsing from where you left off.
In Lion, I noticed once I delete a file, it doesn't select the next file, so when I hit the "down" arrow, it starts right from the top!!!
It's actually quite annoying...anyone know if there's a solution or alternative approach?
Andrew

Anyone? Someone? No One? =(

How do I get Digital Editions to open back up where I left off?

Every time I go back into digital editions on my laptop I have to flip through page after page to figure out where I left off. Why does digital editions not go straight back to the last page I was on. On my andriod device my books open up to where I left off. Why is this not the case on laptop/desktop computers?
This makes Diginal Editions very impractical.

If you use DE in Reading mode, it does 'placemark' where you were when you

Can I allow a user to stop and then resume a quiz while retaining previous results?

Hi all,
First post here! I have had a search of the forums and can't find an answer to a) whether I can do this and b) how to!
I am using Captivate 5.5 with Moodle as my LMS. I want to create a fairly large project where users work their way around a virtual 'assault course' (represented by images etc) answering questions at various stages. However, they will not complete the whole assault course (and hence the whole quiz) in one go - so I want them to be able to stop and come back to the quiz again several days later and be able to resume from where they left off - INCLUDING retaining the score they have achieved so far (so if they had got 5 points the first time they accessed the project, they would start at 5 points and add to that on their second attempt). I know it's easy to make them resume from the slide they finished on, but is it possible for their score to be resumed as well?
Thanks for any advice - I don't want to get too deep into building it if I won't be able to use the scores the way I want!

Users sometimes experience issues with Captivate courses in LMS where Resume Data bookmarking is used. Whether resuming works flawlessly or not seems to depend on the particular LMS to some extent.
What has happened in some cases is that when the user tries to resume the course after initially closing it down, they get stuck on the loading screen.
I would recommend you build a quick prototype course with several interactions of different types and test the Resume functionality with your chosen LMS. If everything works as expected, go for it.
EDIT: One more thing, make sure you get several different users from your organisation to test it with any different types of web browser that might be used. Especially things like IE7 to IE9 and Firefox. Don't assume everyone will have the same experience you do.

Downloads resume from zero, not where they left off

I know this is a tired question, but it STILL HAS NOT BEEN ADDRESSED BY APPLE. Why do interrupted downloads start back at zero instead of picking up where they left off? Is this too difficult of a bug for the iTunes engineers to deal with? Being overseas in a country with very slow internet connections, this is the most irritating issue I've ever dealt with. It's almost impossible to download podcasts because they always get interrupted somehow, then I have to start from scratch every time. Thinking it's time to consider ditching Mac + iTunes for something more reliable....
Will someone from Apple please explain why downloads do not resume correctly?

I am having the same problems, and this is driving to distraction, if the internet line for a second runs to zero MB per sec, I get kicked off the download and have to start from the beginning. There must be a way to start where the download stopped.

Mountain lion download doesn't resume from where it left after an error occur

I'm trying to download mountain lion but the download doesn't resume from where it stopped when I encounter a drop in my Internet connection/get disconnected. Also I face that after this sequence of events: Internet error occur > surprisingly download resume from where it left > pause the download > resume the download after a few hours. My questions are: how can I solve this issue ? Does the downloaded file/app get corrupted when the download encounters an error which is actually making it restart the whole download? It's really frustrating, I've been downloading for the last couple of days and the downloads restarts even after downloading over one gigabyte. P.s: my Mac meets with the hardware and software requirements for downloading mountain lion.

Does the downloaded file/app get corrupted
A slow internet connection for huge files like Mountain LIon (4.34 GB), can time out before the file is completely downloaded.
Try this... from the App Store menu bar top of your screen click Store > Check for Unfinished Downloads.
Something to keep in mind if you need to repair the startup disk or reinstall OS X.
"Reinstalling OS X Lion or OS X Mountain Lion via OS X Recovery requires broadband access to the Internet via Wi-Fi or an Ethernet connection. OS X is downloaded over the Internet from Apple when OS X Recovery is used for reinstallation."
From here > OS X Lion: About Lion Recovery
So if it's possible, contact your ISP to see if you can upgrade to a faster connection.

How can I bookmark, in iTunes, so that the songs I play and then stop in middle of song then come back later - it will start where I left off. What is the switch in iTunes to make this happen? Thank You

In iTunes I would like to set it to bookmark where I am holding in a song on my iPOD. Let's say I want to play a song that I listen to yesterday and stopped playing it in the middle on my iPOD. Today, I want to listen, on my iPOD, to the same song and have it start playing where I left off yesterday.
Can someone please tell me what I have to do in iTUNES to have this feature on my iPOD?
Thank You
Dovid

iTunes does not have provision for automatically storing one kind of media on a separate drive, so you have some basic decisions to make first. Do you want these movies to still appear in your iTunes library, or are you content with browsing filenames on a drive in Finder when you want to look for one? The second's the easiest thing because then you don't have to have an external drive permanently turned on and attached to your computer (wired or wireless). To do that you literelly only need to drag your movies folder to an archive drive and delete movies from iTunes. To watch them again you can add it back to iTunes while holding down the option key so the movie is used from its location on the external drive.
There's ways to move the movies to an external drive while keeping them in iTunes but the external drive iwll always have to be turned on and connected to the computer or you will see a bunch of broken link exclamation marks.
Realize what you are talking about is not "backup". Backup (which you should do) is putting a second or more copy of items on external drives for the day when your internal drive fails and everything on it is lost, inclduing all your home photos and perhaps things that have been pulled from the iTunes Store and can no longer be re-downloaded.

Can I download a file in different sessions or should it be in a single session? In other words can I pause the download of a file, shutdown/restart my system and then resume download from where I left off? Or will it start from the very beginning?
