Connection lost while downloading OS 10.4.8

Twice now I have been trying to download the new version of OS...which is the OS 10.4.8. It gets to a certain point, about three to four hours of downloading and then I get a message that I have been disconnected.( I have one phone line)
I have checked in my Prefs. to make sure that it says "never" when asked about how long I want the computer to shut down, unless, of course, I do it manually.
The software update is 153 MB. I think it is a memory thing, maybe. I have 384MB SDRAM. I may have to have more. Just not sure...
Maybe I need to download another version of 10.4 before the 10.4.8 ??
Can anyone help me, and is this new update a MUST for my computer. If I have to have more memory, how much will it cost me. I have a laptop, about three years old. Thanks in advance for any help !!

Hi again Kathee!
Well it's good that everything seems to be under control...
Some people purposely don't apply all the updates for different reasons. Personally I apply all of the updates usually right away...that's just me! It sounds like you installed Tiger from retail disks because you have 10.4. Just remember that there have been 8 OS updates (now 10.4.8) which you may or may not ever notice? It's just to keep in mind and yes coming from 10.4 you have to download the full update which is that 150+mb file you were mentioning. Actually, if you would read the details it would list all of the things that were updated...
And DSL is often as cheap as dial-up these days...maybe it's a good excuse for an upgrade there???
Thanks for the STAR!!! Reg

Connection lost while downloading an album

I purchased an album recently and had a connection error during the download. Only 7 songs successfully downloaded. I found the FAQ and used "check for purchases" under the store menu, No Luck. I logged on and "Reported a Problem" with my purchase. No Luck. Any suggestions?

Wi-Fi connection lost while using anything but safari

hi everybody. I am using an iPad 4 in my home Wi-Fi environment (amongst iMac & iPhone). When I browse with safari, everything works fine, always. But when I use the youtube app, for example, the iPad looses the WiFi connection after a short while/few minutes. I have to manually re-activate my network choosing it from the list of available networks, which works, again, only for a few minutes. Then it's like Groundhog Day every few minutes and the problem starts over again.
Curious: the connection is never lost while surfing the internet with safari or factime.
And - I don't ever have trouble with the iMac and non-apple laptop using the same Wi-Fi. This leads me to believe the WiFi-environment is stable. Since the iPad works fine while using Safari it seems like the iPad itself disconnects from my WiFi, and reconnects again when opening/using Safari. It feels like the iPad decides it is not neccessary to be connected to WiFi while using youtube-app and disconnects, but reconnects when using safari.I repeat myself.... I am frustrated!!!
Looks like a settings or software issue to me, but I out of solutions?
I tried the obvious:
- iPad software is up to date
- tried turning everything off / on (router, iPad...), restarted.
- went to the apple store, they gave me a new iPad, still the same trouble...
Anyone able to help?
thnx

I suspect that the problem is in your router. Do NOT consider your router to be blameless if some other devices seem to work with it.
Try restarting your WiFi router by removing power for 30 seconds. Don't just turn it Off. On many routers that doesn't really do anything but put the router into standby mode. If that does not help check for a firmware update for your router. If none exists which corrects the problem consider replacing the router.
There is a chance that some services turned on in your router could be causing problems. Look for a setting called QoS (Quality of Service). If ON turn it OFF.
If you need more help please give the make, model, and version of your WiFi router and how you have it configured.

"network connection lost" while installing Ovi Sto...

I'm getting a "Network connection lost" error shortly after the installation of a downloaded app is started. The status bar gets to about 15% and then the installation is interrupted.
I've tried using WiFi and non-WiFi connections, but the result remains the same.
I've noticed other threads on this forum about a somewhat similar issue but no real solution appears in any of them.
My N8-00 was upgraded to the Belle OS over the weekend and it caused most of the apps to be uninstalled. Now I'm trying to get them back but fail to do so because of the error.
Are there any working solutions for this very annoying error?
Or do i have to wait for Symbian Clara (or whatever name they give it) to be installed?

Go to Solution.

Performing hard reset will set the phone to its default setting. You may have to check the settings of your phone again. To define the your access points, go to settings> connectivity> settings> network destinations> Internet> options> new access point> Automatically check for available access point> yes. You can choose GPRS connection first and then run the same steps and then set up your WLAN.
Let us know how you get on and feel free to post any other questions you may have.

"Connection lost" while updating phone software in...

Good day.
I got a notification on the Suite that there is a phone update (v11.40) for my Nokia C2-01. I wanted to upgrade my phone's software so I decided to go on with it.
The backup phase is good, but later it said "Connection lost" during the installation.
I canceled the installation, and when I turned on my C2-01, it shows "Test mode" on the screen. So I switched it off. Luckily after a few minutes I tried to switch it on again and the phone goes back to normal.
What should I do to avoid this situation from happening again? I'm using version 3.6 of the software and I hope this won't happen in version 3.7. Thank you.

Can you tell me the OS of the PC that you are using? You can try this troubleshooting and see if it will work:
In Windows 7 and Windows Vista the reason for failure may be caused by windows trying to download and install additional conflicting device drivers during the update process.
To disable windows device installation for the duration of the Nokia Suite process do to following:
Access "Control Panel" and select "System and Security", and from there select "System"
Next select "Advanced System Settings" and then the "Hardware" tab, and select "Device Installation Settings"
From "Device Installation Settings", choose "No, let me choose what to do" and next select "Never install driver software from windows update"
Click "Save Changes"
After this process please try to run the Nokia Suite process again. You may need to manually connect to your device again using Nokia Suite's "Add New Device".
Remember to enable the windows device driver settings after successfull installation.

Connection lost while scanning multiple pages

When scanning multiple pages I keep getting an Errror message saying connection lost
EVEN THOUGH:
I am connected via cable and both ends are securely in place.
I am scanning 24 pages. Is there a limit to the number of pages the automatic doccument feeder accepts ?
Single page Scans work fine.
where am I going wrong ?

Hi @babbles1 ,
I see that you are experiencing issues when scanning multiple pages. I would like to help you out today.
Is this the Laserjet M177fw model? How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number?
Most of the Laserjet ADF feeders can hold up to 35 pages at a time.
Make sure the printer is connected directly to a wall outlet and the USB cable is connected directly to the computer. The USB cable shouldn't be longer then 6 feet. Try another USB port on the computer. Try another USB cable, just to rule that out.
Download and run the Print and Scan Doctor. It will diagnose the issue and might automatically resolve it. Find and fix common printer problems using HP diagnostic tools for Windows?
What were the results when you ran the Print and Scan Doctor? (did it print or scan, any error messages)
If you need further assistance, just let me know.
Have a nice day!
Thank You.

Connection Lost When Downloading Song. No longer there!

Hi all!
I downloading a song from an album, when I lost my internet connection for a second. When I went to 'Check for Purchased Music', iTunes began to download the other songs off the album, and completely forgot that the first song was ever there to be downloaded! My account now says that all purchased music has been downloaded! But the first song is nowhere! Completely vanished!
Could anyone give me advise for this? Is my best bet just emailing iTunes support and letting them know? After all, I have paid for the song.
Many thanks!

Yes, only iTMS support can reset that - if you've checked for purchased music and it thinks it's all downloaded.

Not quite sure from your post whether E71 still functional upon previous firmware and just fails to update every time that you try; if that is the case it may be easier to find another PC.

No internet connection error while downloading a trial

it says i dont have an internet connection and i need one to download the adobe cs6 photoshop
Title edited by: Vikrant Rai

Lets, step back and start again. What happens when you click Download now on the following page:
www.adobe.com/go/tryphotoshop/
If you're not signed-in, you should be prompted to sign in. After that Adobe Download Assistant should take over the download and install process.
You can refer to the following document for details: http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/download-install-trials.html
I had written a blog post that shows you step-by-step what the download experience should look like: http://blogs.adobe.com/vikrant/2012/05/download-install-a-cs6-trial/
Could you try the process as listed in these documents and let us know where the error message shows up. Does it have a specific error number?

"network connection timeout" while downloading file or updating software

Hello!
I have a MacBook pro with Lion 10.7.5 and I recently notices the error msg "network connection timeout" poping up everytime I download a file larger than 200mb or do an update on garageband!!! I use VPN at home (student) and downloading stuff goes smoothly on my windows computer. I do not have any sort of anivitus installed on my Mac, nor have I its firewall turned on!! I have tried downloading with both Safari and Chrome and get the same error with both. I have also used both cable and wifi, but no difference whatsoever!! Any suggestion or help would be much appreciated!!! thank you!

Thanks for the advice. I already upgraded my own iPhone 3GS and yes there seems to be a big drain on my batt life.
What I'm more concerned for my friend is the updates in future future for her iPhone, say a better iOS 5 version?
Why is there such a connection time error when she tries to update via iTunes?

PS3 and PSP don't optain IP Adres. Connection lost when downloading.

Hi. I have a WRT54G V.5.1 router with FW: v1.02.0. There was no problem at first. Wireless connection with my PS3 worked great. But since a week or so my PS3 and PSP doesn't optain an IP Adres anymore.
I wired my PS3 to the router and everything works ok.
PSP online does not work. I manually entered an IP Adres in my PSP connection settings. Connection tested and ok. But trying to internet with PSP gives me a DNS-error.
Then the problem with connection. When I download something with my pc or PS3 after a few minutes theres no connection anymore. I have to re-connect within the setup. Bittorrent will crash the router within seconds. I cant't download demo's or movies with PS3 without many disconnects.
From reading all over the net I understand that the V5 or higher seems to have these problems (connection). Is there nothing to solve this problem?
Please help.

Set your PSP and PS3 back to obtaining IP and DNS Settings automatically. Don't manually type especially if you don't have a static IP address from your Internet Service Provider.
I believe your concern is just a matter of wireless connectivity. The most common reason why you are not being able to connect properly on the wireless network is that there may be a new wireless network within your vicinity that may be running of similar or if not, the same wireless settings to that of your Linksys wireless network.
My suggestion is for you to go into the console of your Linksys router and change the wireless channel, change the wireles network name. Make them as unique as possible. Best wireless channels to choose from are Channels 1, 6, 9 and 11. Channel 9 is good only for people in Canada.
Hope this helps.

HT204350 Connection lost while migrating in Mavericks

Hi! Had problem with migration. As soon as the target computer start to search for data on the source computer they loose connection. I'm updating from via ethernet cable directly between the two computers. Sounds familiar? Any idea what's going on?

I had the exact same issue yesterday. I upgraded to a new MBP with Retina, coming from a 2007 MBP. I had to upgrade to Mavericks on the old one and then started Migration assitant over wifi because neither MBP have the same connections, so I'm forced to use wifi. 16hrs was the estimate I received, and with 4hrs remaining it lost connection. The new MBP showed that roughly 100GB of info was taken up by my music and movies, but I could not find any of it using Spotlight nor iTunes. So I reinstalled Mavericks and I got my space back, but I don't want to waste another 16hrs+ with this.....

I'm using adobe reader XI, I'm noted that while i'm uploading pdf file, my internet connection will be disconnect. I have contacted adobe help desk team they only informed me to contact adobe forum. I have this issue for past week. Awaiting for your reply.

2) Reboot
Snow Leopard will rebuild this file from other info.
This sorted out all my won't connect/loses connection issues.
