Download bar moves, but doesn't install anything.

Hello,
I have searched the internet but I can't seem to find a solution to this issue. My fiance got a new computer with windows 8.1 on it and the app is attrocious. He went to download skype desktop and got it downloaded, but when he went to install it, it took nearly 2 hours for it to even get anywhere. He cancled the install, figuring something must be wrong. When he looked through his computer, there wasn't a single file for the windows desktop anywhere to be found. I asked him how far along the bar was but, all it does it just has this little repearting animation during the install process, so I don't know how far it was. Is there a way to fix this, because the app for windows 8 is not good at all. It crashes and drops anything when someone else sends him a message, he can't look at other conversations when a call is going, it's just terrible. If anyone has a solution for the windows 8 install issue that he is having, that woudl he much appreciated.

Try to install the currently latest Skype 7.10.105 version using this installer:

  • Downloads such as adobe flash update won't download even when anti virus is disabled. The download box appears and runs but doesn't show anything.

    Any updates or downloads won't download in Firefox. The download box appears, goes thru the motions but doesn't park anything in the file. I usually have to quite Mozilla, use Explorer for the download, such as Go to Meeting, or Adobe updates. Can't download anything with Firefox from your browser.

    I am having the same issue -- IE7, XP SP3... Flash Player
    will not download or install, but will download and install for
    Netscape. Must be an IE7 issue, but I can't find a solution. If you
    find something out, it would be freat!

    Try rebooting your iPad by holding down the power and home buttons simultaneously until a blank screen with the Apple logo appears. Ignore the power off slider if it appears. After a while your device should go to the main screen, as if you're turning the iPad on. Don't worry, this won't do anything to your data, it just literally restarts the iPad.

  • My iPad thinks I have downloaded a movie but I haven't.

    My IPad thinks I have downloaded a movie but I haven't?  What do I do?

    What makes you say that your iPad thinks it has a movie on it? Where are you seeing evidence of this?
    Did you do a search for the movie? From your home screen swipe to the right and type the name of the movie in the search field. Does it appear in there? If it does show up, tap on it and it should open in the videos app.
    If it doesn't show up - and you think the movie should not be on the iPad, reboot the device and see if the evidence of the movie goes away.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • I'm trying to download a movie, but I keep getting message error that I have no more room and that I must delete some photos or videos in order to download more movies. How do I delete the videos in order to order more?

    I'm trying to purchase and download a movie, but I keep getting message error that I have no space. The error states that I must delete some photos or videos in order to download. I've gone to iPod then edit and deleted some videos, but I'm still getting the message. What is the correct way to delete the videos and should they still be there.

    They wont still be there if you delete them,but if you have those same photos on the main computer.

  • I downloaded a movie but it is not playing

    I downloaded a movie but it isnt playing

    Okay. I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
    Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
    Find the item that is not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the item, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.

  • My iPod syncs, but doesn't save ANYTHING on the iPod

    Basically, my iPod syncs, but doesn't save ANYTHING on the iPod, its the first iPod I have used and it really annoys me... I have tried pretty much everything :@
    Help?!

    Hello JellyPopJade,
    And welcome to Apple Discussions!
    How do you have your iPod configured to sync with your iTunes library? Automatically or do you manually manage its contents by dragging what you would like from your library to the iPod.
    If you have it set to automatically sync all checked songs and videos, make sure each track you wish to sync to your iPod is checked within your iTunes library.
    Under the Summary tab for your iPod, is there any space taken of by the "Other" category (orange)?

    No not really. If this is a brand new Macbook Pro take it back for a refund. Apple has a 14 day No Questions Asked return policy for Full refund.
    Take it back, get the Full Refund (DO NOT LET THEM TRY TO FIX IT. YOU BOUGHT A NEW COMPUTER NOT ONE THAT HAS BEEN WORKED ON OR NEEDS TO BE FIXED) and then decide whether to buy another Macbook Pro or the iMac. Or you could return it, get the Full refund and buy some other brand computer.

  • I downloaded a movie but its not in my itunes but it said that i already bought it. what should i do?

    I downloaded the movie, but it just didn't show up in my itunes. I went back to see if i bought it and it said that I did. So how can I redownload it again without repurchasing it again?

    Make sure it didn't go into the wrong categories in movies click on the movies, genres, unwatched tab up top in the movies section.
