Download keeps stopping, no idea why!?!?!?

Hi,
My son urgently needs the Adobe CS 5.5 Design Premium Suite for an ongoing school project. So I purchased a copy from the Adobe website. Of course, it wasn't until AFTER I paid for it that I realised he couldn't get a purchased copy until you had verified his student i.d.   So... three days later we are STILL trying to download a trial version for him to use until his registration comes through.
Here is our problem. He was running IE7. The Adobe Download Assistant apparently has a problem with this version of IE, so we upgraded to IE8. The download assistant installs fine, it reinitiates the download for CS5.5 Design Premium which is in the queue, and then after about 10 minutes stops.
We get the standard error from Windows stating that the Adobe Download Assistant has encountered an error and needs to close.   Then nothing.
I have cleared out the browsing history and cookies. Uninstalled the ADA, and reinstalled it, rebooted the computer, refreshed the download screen, restarted the download (AGAIN!!!) and it keeps happening.   Now the ADA just stops, and disappears. We aren't even getting the error message from Windows half of the time.
I would download onto my own pc and copy the files across before install, but the ADA installs the program for you!! So... what do I do?
Any suggestions would be gratefully received.
Cheers,
Frustrated mum.

Hi Jeff,
We are downloading and Installing to the default drive, and no other error messages are being received.
We’ve read through the Knowledgebase, googled the problem, my husband (I.T. specialist) has spent a goodly portion of time going through it, and we’ve pretty much come to the conclusion that the ADA simply doesn’t like my son’s computer. Unless you have a solution, we will bite the bullet and cancel our download purchase, and go out and buy the cd’s.
Thanks for any help you can give.
Rebecca

I am unable to download updates directly to iPad 2 , now trying to reinstall one from scratch but download keeps stopping and the restarting. Can you offer any advice, this happening when trying to download to laptop in itunes as well. Have tried to download on different broadband lines without success. Is this an apple problem due to high demand or something else?
Everything has worked well until about a month ago, up to date iOS 5 and itunes installed. Tried resetting numerous times, turned off all apps still no joy. Ipad was great but now feeling buying one was mistake. Also recent music purchase was useless and tunes would not play correctly.

Since this is happening on the iPad and the computer, it might be worth a try to reboot your router - unplug it from power for about 30 seconds and then plug it in again.
Quit iTunes on the PC, reboot it and the iPad as well
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 - let go of the buttons

Firefox keeps crashing, no idea why.

So I recently switched from Opera to Firefox because they had a horrible updated that stripped all the features I loved. Anyways, the first week or so after using firefox it worked fine and never crashed, now recently it crashes almost every 30 minutes or so. I get a crash report asking me if I want to restart. I have no idea why it keeps crashing and I have tried closing all my tabs (I usually have about 6-7 open at all times), but the problem is still there. If you need any information ask and I'll give it. Thanks!

This report also contains technical information about the state of the application when it crashed.
Thats whats in the crash report after it crashes. I always check the submit to mozilla checkbox when it crashes but that doesn't help me solve it.

Eudora keeps crashing - any idea why

I just got new HD for MacBook running 10.6.3. The replacement HD from apple care for some reason was installed with 10.5.x so I did a restore by using carbon copy cloner via a good backup HD. I then ran diskwarrior to rebuild the HD, also disk utility with repair permissions. Ever since my Eudora [yes I am one of the few still using this ] keeps on crashing after a few minutes.
Anyone have an idea as to why? I tried deleting eudora and documents, then use time machine backup from mid june backup [as opposed to july backup just before replacing HD]. But after downloading all the emails/attachments, still keeps on crashing...
Appreciate help with this.

Here's some points about eudora to keep in mind when trouble shooting it. Since you said you restored from a (presumably) working backup you should not be having any problems but I'll mention this stuff anyhow.
One thing I recall about eudora when running on [snow] leopard was that it's "Getting Attention" preferences sounds should not be set to use eudora's own built in sounds. So make sure you use some of your system sounds (or any you might have in your own ~/Library/Sounds folder). Hopefully that will fix it. If not try the following experiment.
As a control experiment temporarily rename your ~/Documents/Eudora Folder. Do this while Eudora is not executing of course.
With the newly created Eudora folder and possibly Getting Attention sounds changes play around a little while to see if eudora is still crashing on you. I would assume (hope) it would not. That means something fouled up in your "real" Eudora Folder. Get rid of the one created by the experiment and rename your original real eudora folder back as "Eudora Folder". Now finding what's wrong in there is not going to be straight-forward.
Possible places that could break in the eudora folder are a mail box (in the Mail Folder), Eudora Settings (where all your preferences are kept), plugins in the Eudora Items, Eudora Filters, and Cache Folder. All you can do is replace each piece one by one until the crash goes away.

ITunes Movie Download keeps stopping at 1.64GB

Hiya,
I recently bought the Avengers off iTunes [HD, trying 1080p] but everytime the download gets to around 1.64GB, the timer vanishes and the progress bar stops going up indefinatly, though it says it's still downloading.
The iTunes extra part of the download has installed and works perfectly (it was a seperate download). Occasionally when using the pause/resume all button to try and get the movie download to work the extra came up with a -50 error, but after another reset it downloaded fine. Another issue both have had is the timer starts saying thousnds of hours will be needed for the download after a pause/unpause. The movie is watchable upto about 41 minuets after/during every download
Thing's i have tried:
-Deleting the "Downloads" folder in iTunes media
-Downloading to an external Hard Drive by changing the locatoin of my iTunes Media folder (where the download froze at about 400MB instead of 1.6GB)
-Deleting the film/download file and begging the download anew from "check for availabe downloads"
-Restarting iTunes
-Restarting my computer (2011 13" Mac Book Pro Running Lion 10.7.5)
-Leaving the download to run over night, was still on 1.64GB in the morning.
-Watching/Not Watching whilst downloading.
I might try downloading in SD/720p, but will i be able to download the 1080p version later on if i do so?
Many thanks.

Heya, thanks for replying
I eventually got in touch with iTunes support who could see I still had pending downloads and were quite happy to cancel them and give me a store credit refund. Their advice was to try another movie or leave it for a few weeks as the movie I wanted was under high demand, which may have led to the problems I had (Avengers + Christmas, fair enough really).
...so about 2 days later I tried it again along with the batman trilogy and everything downloaded just fine.
I always hate the idea of going to customer support but I have to say apple's has always been quick, reasonable and helpfull, so just go for it with a detailed explination and you should be fine
Good luck!

Installation under VirtualBox - Downloads keep stopping

Hi All,
Im having a problem during the download part of the Arch install. Im running Arch (FTP) 32 bit installer, within Virtual Box, under Windows 7, over a wireless network. Ive set my network adapter to bridge mode.
Everything works great up to step 5 - install packages, where it starts the download. Pacman seems work fine then stops downloading a package randomly (Ive tried it 4 different times, using different mirrors; each time it stops at a different one for over 30 mins, the afi process and network adapter are both doing nothing). The network seems to be working, even when its stopped; I can use wget and ping without a problem etc.
The way Im currently getting round it is by switching to a new terminal, killing the pacman process, deleting the lock file (/mnt/var/lib/pacman/db.lck), and restarting the download, and it resumes from where it started.
I guess I have a couple questions, 1. is there a proper way to stop/resume an install with aif , and 2. has anybody else seen this or know why it might be happening?

I have a feeling it may be Virtual Box because I've seen other posts with similar network problems (although most people report that the network doesn't work at all). Its a bit weird though; after the install I haven't had a single problem.

Itunes downloads keep stopping

Well, my downloads were doing fine before I upgraded to Itunes 7. Now when they download they cut off and the message -3259 pops up and tells me that I'm not connected to the Itunes Music Store which is complete bull, because I'm operating the store and it is functioning because it's where I'm getting my downloads from. I looked at the support center and it doesn't have anything for error -3259 under Windows or Mac. Can somebody please help me out?

Same problem here... mostly with TV shows. Small podcasts seem to do okay.
It doesn't matter whether I'm connected to my own ISP (via WiFi or Ethernet cable) or any other network. It times out everywhere.

The sound on children games I downloaded suddenly stopped working. Why.?

The sound on downloaded children's games no longer works. How do I fix it?

If you lose sounds for keyboard clicks, games or other apps, email notifications and other notifications, system sounds may have been muted.
System sounds can be muted and controlled two different ways. The screen lock rotation can be controlled in the same manner as well.
Settings>General>Use Side Switch to: Mute System sounds. If this option is selected, the switch on the side of the iPad above the volume rocker will mute system sounds.
If you choose Lock Screen Rotation, then the switch locks the screen. If the screen is locked, you will see a lock icon in the upper right corner next to the battery indicator gauge.
If you have the side switch set to lock screen rotation then the system sound control is in the task bar. Double tap the home button and in the task bar at the bottom, swipe all the way to the right. The speaker icon is all the way to the left. Tap on it and system sounds will return.
If you have the side switch set to mute system sounds, then the screen lock rotation can be accessed via the task bar in the same manner as described above.
This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.

Ipod touch restore keeps stopping mid download, what do I do?

Trying to restore an Ipod touch that was used as a store demo and is locked. No one knows the code and the restore download keeps stopping mid download. What can I try next?

Try disabling the computer's antivirus and firewall.
- Next try the manual install method of:
iDevice Troubleshooting 101 :: iPhone, iPad, iPod touch
Place the iPod in recovery mode after the firmware download is complete and then restore using the instructions in the article. Sometimes recovery mode timeouts and returns to disabled before the firmware download is complete.
- Then try on another computer
- Lastm, go to an Apple store.
