Clean up bits of downloads?

Hi there,
From reading archives, I've gotten my ? answered re how to download the Version 10.4.9 update on dialup; get somebody to burn it to CD for me! Thank you for that, whew.
Now I'm wondering if I need to run a Utility or such to clean up the bits of 10.4.9 I attempted to download?
I love my new iMac and want to keep her happy.

Welcome to Apple Discussions.
You can safely delete (trash) any remnants of those aborted downloads.

Bit torrent downloads crash finder

Every time I leave a bit torrent download/upload running it crashes Finder. This happened when I was running Mac OS X 10.5, as well as after I upgraded to 10.6. This occurs with no matter what bit torrent application I use to handle the torrents. I've deleted the programs and all associated files, did a clean install of the application and get the same result. It used to happen when I had more than one torrent going at a time, but now it's occurring even with just one. My iMac is just over a year old, none of my resources are tapped (processor, memory, disk activity) when this happens, it just freezes. I just can't figure out why this is happening. Thanks.

You say it crashes Finder then you say it freezes, which is it?
Do you have a Finder window open to look at the directory that is
involved in the download?
If so, try doing it without having a Finder window open for that
directory and see if it makes a difference.
There have been a number of topics about Finder issues involving
downloading of audio/visual files - something to do with Quicklook
attempting to use a partially downloaded file.

I had creative cloud installed in a parallels deskto virtual machine on my mac, I delete the virtual machine without deactivate the creative cloud. after reinstall a new VM running windows 8.1. pro 64 bits, I downloaded the creative cloud installer but it does not install ang give an Error code 72, it is assuming that I already are using the Creative cloud in 2 computer, but itis no the case, how to solve this situation?

Dave: I did the Microsoft Update two days before this happened, and rebooted as required. I just created a new restore point and lauched Creative Cloud. Now I get the famous white screen:
It just sits and spins (been 10 minutes now).
Fortunately, I saved away this command (which I've had to use 4 or 5 times already):
del %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Adobe\OOBE\opm.db
Unfortunately now, I get this (even after closing the above window):
The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.
So I killed everything that said "Adobe" in the task manager and this time, the command succeeded.
Fortunately, the current apps seem to still work. I can't seem to find the "Creative Cloud" app in the applications on my system, but I launched Photoshop CC, told it to look for updates, and got a list of the 5 prgorams that need updates in the Adobe Application manager:
I will proceed with the updates, holding my breath.

How do I do a clean install from Lion download

how do I do a clean install from Lion download ?
My old tower will only stretch to Lion which I have had to download and installed it following the instructions.
My local Applestore genius has told me to do a clean install but I don't have or can't find a copy of the Lion osX to use.

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
If you are already using OS X Lion, use OS X Recovery to reinstall OS X and erase the disk. See > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4718
Follow these steps:
1. Make a backup of the data you don't want to lose after erasing the hard disk.
2. Start your computer holding Command and R keys to start in OS X Recovery, and open Disk Utility.
3. Choose "Macintosh HD" or the OS X partition in the sidebar, go to the Erase tab and erase the disk.
4. Close Disk Utility and reinstall OS X

I cannot get iTunes 12 (64 bit) to download to my new pc

I have been trying for a few days to get iTunes 12.01 (64 bit) to download to my new PC. I have tried in both IE and Chrome from http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/ and it just takes me to the "Thank You" page without ever starting the download. No pop ups being blocked or anything like that and I have had no other troubles downloading other programs during this time.

How to do a clean install of Lion download from App store

How do you do a clean install of Lion downloaded from the App store. I downloaded and it installed but never was there a time of the installation it gave me an option to do a clean install. Thanks for any help.

Install or Reinstall Lion from Scratch
If possible backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive.
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Erase the hard drive:
Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion: Select Reinstall Lion and click on the Install button.
Note: You can also re-download the Lion installer by opening the App Store application. Hold down the OPTION key and click on the Purchases icon in the toolbar. You should now see an active Install button to the right of your Lion purchase entry. There are situations in which this will not work. For example, if you are already booted into the Lion you originally purchased with your Apple ID or if an instance of the Lion installer is located anywhere on your computer.

Where is the Windows 8 Pro 64-bit ISO download?

Normal tech support has yet to answer this problem. I purchased the $39.99 Windows 8 Pro download, and ran the upgrade on my Windows XP Home Edition (which is 32-bit OS, by design) machine. The machine is fully capable of a 64-bit OS (in
fact, I have a dual boot with Ubuntu 12.04 LTS 64-bit running in a separate partition). When I finished the Windows 8 Pro install, it turned out to be the 32-bit version. I discovered via the normal support forum that this is a limitation of the
download installer - it chooses without user option the architecture based upon the older Windows version.
I called support and they first thought that the MS store could provide the 64-bit ISO download. That didn't work - they're researching it, though. I tried support again and this time the rep said the installer chooses the architecture based
on what the machine is capable of running. I respectfully disagreed, but that didn't solve my problem.
So, how can I get the 64-bit ISO download, without having to make an ADDITIONAL purchase of the retail DVD version?
- A frustrated IT professional

I attempted to get this problem resolved and entered the truly bizarre world of Microsoft "Support."
The Windows 8 support line took my information, repeatedly put me on hold and then transferred me to another department. I was again asked for all my information, again put on hold repeatedly and then transferred to a third department.
I ended up with a recording saying my call couldn't be completed and was sent back to the 1st support department.
I spent the next 15 minutes again repeatedly being put on hold and I eventually asked for a supervisor who again wanted all my information. At this point I had been on the phone with Microsoft for over an hour and had gotten nowhere so I asked for
a refund. The supervisor said she would process one asked me to go to a web page and click on a link that did not exist on that web page. She spent the next 15 minutes putting me on hold and then returning to the call only to again insist I click
on the non-existent link.
Eventually she figured out that there was a problem with Microsoft's web page and said I would get a call back within 48 hours. 72 hours later I had received no call.
I again called the Windows 8 support line. After 20 minutes I was told that I was calling the wrong department (I had spent over an hour on the phone with them previously) and given another phone number. I called the 2nd phone number and was
given a 3rd phone number. When I called the 3rd number I was given the 1st number once again.
I had spent over 2 hours on the phone with various Microsoft departments and ended up literally right back where I started. I ended up disputing the charge with my credit card company and contacting the Attorney General.
I can happily say that my experiance was the opposite they were freidly and helpfull told me I would need a refund as the 32 Bit Key Code would not work for a 64 Bit download ? rather odd as it was the same code for both 32 and 64 Bit versions discs when I
installed Win 7, and they gave me a web link that took me to my purchase information and I had to Click on the refund link, the email regarding my rufund was in my inbox by the time I had completeed doing the required steps on the web link, the email also
had a link for this same web siteI had visited as well. simple and painless, very stisfied with the helpline, OK so not being warned about it only going to download a software ISO etc. for the present 32 or 64 Bit operating system was annoying and while
a well meaning idea to ensure a simple upgrade was flawed, but easy to get round.

Virtual PC download for 64-bit actuall downloads x86 version?

Hi,
Just went to the Virtual PC RC download page at http://www.microsoft.com/windows/virtual-pc/download.aspx. Selected 64-bit W7, in English, then clicked on "2: virtual PCdownload". The executable downloaded is Windows6.1-KB958559-x86.msu. Not -x64.msu. Is this right?

Trying to update to 10.7 I tunes to windows 7 64 bit and download gets stuck and can't switch it off without crashing computer-pain and frustrating,can anyone at apple help?

Trying to update to 10.7 I tunes to windows 7 64 bit and download gets stuck and have to crash the computer to stope download window to try other options-it's been the same all week
Even when I try to download 64bit updated as forums say it gets stuck.
You would have thought it should be a simple update as usual.
Any advice
Thanks,

I'd first try downloading an installer from the Apple website using a different web browser:

If you use Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa), do you get a working installer?

Vista 64-bit SP1 downloading

I suppose the rule, "All things come to he who sits and waits," applies in this case.
I purposely did not download the huge multilanguage SP1 patch but decided to wait for MS to offer me the proper update. This morning, after a small Defender security update, I checked again for updates, and the SP1 was available. For my configuration, it's 121.5MB and the download is extremely slow - not from my end, however: I guess the MS server is busy. It even stalled several times for a few minutes; it's up to 94% right now, and stalled again.
I will install it and report back after whatever happens happens

The hatter wrote:
Unless you have the Taskbar set to hide, it is just as clear and obvious as the Dock that there is a message needing attention.
Took less than half an hour (Mac Pro, 10K Raptor, 6GB) for same 124MB size install. I like the way it actually prepares the update and doesn't try to make changes to the system and kernel until shutdown while it configures - I think it safer than 'live update' OS X has used, but I understand people want fewer restarts if possible. If being safe and operative.
Maybe because I did a test run of SP1 RC I sort of knew what to expect. 124MB seems to pack a lot (highly compressed). Apple combo updates have come in 300MB. I saw a 'warning' that Microsoft expected you might need 101-15GB of free space for SP1 for Vista Ultimate 64-bit, which means there really is a lot going on during the update, which is why I ran the SFC.exe scannow plus did a disk check ahead of time to be safe, along with cleaned up temp files and such beforehand.
I have the taskbar set to autohide in Vista, yes. But I have the Leopard dock also set to autohide.
With Winders, there is an "icon" for each open window, but unlike Apple, you have to look for it. It does not bounce.
I know better from past experience, but many Winders users do not know about the infamous pop-under. Why it doesn't grab priority and appear on top of all the other windows is beyond me, but again, with Apple, even with a hidden dock, when you need to do something, it bounces and grabs your attention.
The install time may be related to the HD. I chose the larger, (250GB) and slower HD for this MBP, knowing I would be installing Vista. I think it's 5400 as opposed to 7200 RPM, but I am not sure.
No matter, the system seems to be as good as it can get, and once again, I am at a loss to understand why Vista is so ragged on by people. I think it's a fine OS, and the fact that it runs well on a Mac makes it even more useful.
I initially installed it as a "toy" but now I am serious about it, and will be buying another external drive for backups. I like the idea that it has built-in full backup capability to almost any media, but who is going to use a bunch of DVDs? Even a set of Blu-ray DVDs would be expensive and silly.
I will get another LaCie 500GB drive, since the two I have are working perfectly with no problems at all.

ESXi 3.5 32 bit version - Downloadable ISO

Hello,
Does anyone has VMware Hypervisor 3.5 32bit version, downloadable ISO?
My ESX Server 3i, 3.5.0, build #207095 is not updateable, as I would have had to grab the update by June 2011.
I have had this test machine sitting all this while unpatched etc., as it was not in a production environment.
Now I need the use of a test machine and I do not have access to a 64bit machine and I just want to install the 3.5 again.
I have a BDC running on it and I can move it using Vmware Stand Alone Converter between my ESXi 5.5 U5 server and back.
I just want to have the latest patched installation on 32bit hardware!
If anyone has a link that I can get the latest 32 bit ISO, please let me know.
I have been searching downloads on this site to no avail. I believe they have ended support for 32 bit versions.
Thanks

Hello A.P.
Whilst your statement is a helpful answer to my issue....
When I go there to download it this is what I get:
"You either are not entitled or do not have permissions to download this product.
Check with your My VMware Super User, Procurement Contact or Administrator.
If you recently purchased this product through VMware Store or through a third-party, try downloading later."
So I have to resort to getting it from somewhere else. I did manage to get it from another link (undisclosed), and I have done a clean install and I am now running on build 391406
Thanks

ITunes for Windows 7 64 Bit. Download is where?

Having been forced to a 64Bit Windows 7 PC I have to install iTunes on that. The Apple download site detects the Windows 64 Bit OS and offers the iTunes software for it but it does not down load it. Any ideas?

Turn off your pop-up blocker.

Itunes 10.7 wont startup or run on windows 7 64 bit,, while downloading it from previous version of itunes say invalid signatures.

whenever i used to download something from itunes it restarts in mid,, and starts again and does the some for a long time and atlast says error 8008. Then i tried to upgrade it new itunes would download for some time then gives error saying invalid signatures,, I then downloaded itunes 10.7 from apple website.. download completes and it wont run.. wont start up.. I have tried Run as administrator used new user accounts, downloaded it again and again deleted temp folder aswell, deleted itunes library from my music folder aswell, done everything i found in discussions but that wont help,

Apologies about the delay. I've been brooding.
Although we don't know where the specific relevant keys are on modern versions of iTunes, there's a shotgun approach we can take to dealing with them, which has a reasonable chance of success in this case. The complicating factor in your case is that you've got a 64-bit Windows. So there's an extra hoop to jump through.
The basic approach is the procedure from the following weblog entry:
[Solving setup errors by using the SubInACL tool to repair file and registry permissions|http://blogs.msdn.com/astebner/archive/2006/09/04/solving-setup-err ors-by-using-the-subinacl-tool-to-repair-file-and-registry-permissions.aspx]
The complicating factor is that we have to make an additional edit to the reset.cmd file.
When you're in Notepad, replacing the two YOURUSERNAME values with the name of your Windows 7 user account, in the first line of the batch file, replace the:
%programfiles%
... with:
%ProgramFiles(x86)%
(On a 64-bit Windows system, subinacl is installed in a different location than on 32-bit systems. So unless we make that change, the reset.cmd isn't going to be able to find subinacl and the reset.cmd won't work.)
While you're in Notepad editing the file, make sure each of the nine lines of the file start of a new line. (Sometimes they get smooshed up together on a single line, and then again the reset.cmd won't work.)
I'd strongly suggest setting up a System Restore point immediately prior to running the reset.cmd. There's instructions on that in the following document:

Clean Install from a Download

I am trying to clean-up a Powerbook G4 to transfer to a friend. It has 10.4.8 installed that is acting funky. The DVD RW occasionally crashes on DVD's and writes a groove that seriously confuses the reader.
I have downloaded all the avaialble updates and tried installing from both my main account and from the root account. I would like to do a clean install, but I cannot find that Option anywhere.
Any help available?

If you want to put the PB into the original state, then boot it with the restore disk that came with the machine and select restore. To bring the OS up to 10.4.8 (assuming that it came with Tiger), your friend needs to update it to 10.4.8, via Software Update or manually.
