Cannot Download Yosemite - error message

I tether my iPhone to my iMac for internet access and downloads of software, etc.  While trying to download Yosemite several days ago, the download stopped "froze," with "calculating" appearing for how much time remained in the download.  It just stopped there.  So I hit the "pause" button, and have been trying the last two days to get the full download.  I tried again today, and the download started, kept bouncing back and forth regarding how much had been downloaded, and then it stopped, with a drop down menu appearing, saying there was an error in the download.  In the meantime, because of this download, I cannot access any of my files in Pages unless they have been listed under recent.  When I try to access the file, the App download site appears.  And it says that I have three incompatible apps, showing Pages, Keynote, and Numbers.
Can I use my Time Machine backup to restore my Mavericks operating system, and thus gain access to my files until I can get a proper download of Yosemite?

You may want to temporarily take your iMac where you can get a high speed Internet connection, if you have an Apple Store or AASP reasonably close take it there. Trying to use your phone as a high speed connection to download a major upgrade is not the best solution.

  • Cannot download itunes, error message says I am missing media accessibility.dll  Can you help me?

    I cannot download itunes on my PC.  Error message says i am missing Media Accessibility.dll  Can anyone help?

    Hi, you may have resolved this issue already, but if not...
    There should be one copy of MediaAccessibility.dll in the folder:
    C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support (32-bit systems) or
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support (64-bit systems)
    If you can locate the file, right-click on it and select Properties, then on theDetails tab it should have File Version - 48.1.0.11. If it has a different version number then it is out of date and is likely to be cause of the problem.
    Please search your Programs Files and/or Programs Files (x86) folders for all copies of the file MediaAccessibility.dll - Any other copies of the file in different locations are likely to be out of date, but might be called in error by an executable file in the same folder, thereby causing the error.
    Should you find more than one copy of MediaAccessibility.dll could you please let me know in which other locations it was found. This will let us more effectively help others with the same issue by suggesting where they should look. If you have the correct version, in the correct place, then deleting any others should fix your problem. This is similar to the QTMovieWin.dll issue dealt with in the first box of the user tip Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    If you don't have the correct version of the file then completely removing all components, deleting the named folders, and reinstalling as suggested in the second box of the user tip should work. You could try repairing Apple Application Support alone from the the Programs and Features or Add/Remove Programs control panel first as that would be quicker, but only if it works.

  • Cannot download Photoshop, Error Message

    I tried to open Photoshop, but it quit before I even got past the load screen and said it quit unexpectedly. I then deleted Photoshop from my comptuer and tried to download it again, to see if that would fix the issue, but it hasn't. It keeps saying there is an error and won't completely download.

    you're probably going to need to uninstall all your cd6 apps, run the cleaner (http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cscleanertool.html) and then reinstall.
    IMPORTANT: Mac OS has new uninstall functionality. DO NOT drag applications to the trash to uninstall them. To safely uninstall on Mac OS X, double-click the product installer in Applications/Utilities/Adobe Installers or double-click the Uninstall alias located in the Application folder. Select Remove Preferences, then Authenticate as an Administrator and follow the onscreen instructions.
    If you are uninstalling subscription software, note that uninstalling does not cancel or stop your subscription. To cancel your subscription, go to Your Subscriptions at www.adobe.com/go/subscriptionedition

  • How can I open my file after 'cannot find -filename-' error message?

    OK, the bottom line is, InDesign crashes and I cannot recover my file. I get a 'Cannot find file' error message when I try to open the file.
    I am using CS6 on a MacBookAir, OS X Yosemite.
    I have tried finding the 'InDesignFileRecovery' folder, I cannot find it anywhere, it's not in my Library or Caches folder.
    However, I do work in dropbox, so I just headed over to dropbox to recover from their 'previous versions'. It starts to get weird. There are lots of previous versions (I save very regularly) but when I download a previous version (that I know was fine) it downloads with a indd.txt extension. So I remove the txt extension and keep the indd and everything looks fine, but then that recovered file gives the same message. I tried renaming the recovered file and opening that, same 'cannot find file' error message.
    I can open InDesign and open the file from the day before, but none of the dropbox earlier versions of that day's work. I am SO sick of this happening. It happened to me last week to, so far I have lost 20 hours work :-(
    I have tried quitting InDesign and restarting the Mac, doesn't help. The only thing I can think of is to 'save as' every couple of hours, at least then hopefully I only lose 2 hours work.

    Thanks, when you say 'hidden by default' then how does one find it? I have already tried the path you mention and there is no sign of a cache folder with Adobe files. Spotlight doesn't reveal anything either.

  • How do I resolve the "Mozilla cannot find runtime" error message when I try to start Firefox?

    Mozilla Firefox updated to version 36.0. When I click on the Firefox icon to open it I receive the message: "Mozilla cannot find runtime" I receive the same message if I try to open Firefox by selecting "firefox.exe" from within the Program Files. I subsequently uninstall Mozilla Firefox and reinstall it. It will open and run normally right after the re-installation. Then if I close the program and try to re-open it again, I get the same "Mozilla cannot find runtime" error message.
    The only way I can get Firefox to open is if I uninstall and re-install it every time I want to open it after the initial re-installation.

    ''sage68 [[#answer-700841|said]]''
    <blockquote>
    Hi Adriel,
    The "Mozilla cannot find runtime" problem has returned. It occurs in two situations:
    1. When Firefox tries to download updates using "updater.exe" (version 36.0.0.5531), which causes my "Norton Internet Security" program to notify me with the message: "Auto-Protect has removed security risk Suspicious.Cloud.9.B" This message is shown every time "updater.exe" activates.
    </blockquote>
    I also have experienced this during several upgrades, not just the latest. (I am using Windows XP and Norton Security Suite.) Norton identifies c:\program files\mozilla firefox\updated\xul.dll with the Suspicious.Cloud.9.B virus and removes the file. I can set the Norton installation to accept xul.dll but it would make more sense for a Mozilla expert to contact Norton and work out a permanent solution, for all who are facing this problem.

  • TS1702 In plain english how do you download past error message 0x800B0101

    In plain english how do you download past error message 0x8ooB0101?

    A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

  • 'cannot get mail' error message

    Getting 'cannot get mail' error message for my hotmail on iphone and ipad, tried resetting account and passwords, not helping...any ideas??

    My email started working -- on its own -- at 7 PM. That means that from 4 AM until 7 PM, I received no email.
    However, I knew I missed some messages.  It's now the NEXT MORNING and those missed messages still have NOT arrived.  I has hoping they were in a queue or something and would still be arriving.
    This is HORRIBLE.  Gosh only knows what I missed beyond the few that a couple friends told me about.
    If this happens one more time, I'll leave icloud.com's email.  This is COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE.  In all the years of having had MobileMe prior to iCloud email, nothing like this ever happened.
