Download pause or restart

I've been frustrated by long iTunes downloads recently. Does the Pause actually pause or does it cause the download to restart from the beginning. Most recently it was the IOS 4.3 iPad download of 600MB which took in excess of 6 hours. I had to pause it in the middle but on resume it seemed to start again from 0. THese large downloads are becoming unmanageable during peak times. (I have a rural wireless ISP that rarely achieves > 2Mbs).
I used to use igetter (multiple simultaneous streams) for large downloads but this is no longer possible with the appStore and iTunes downloadds

If a server supports resuming downloads then the download should continue where it left off.<br />
You can test that by simple starting a large download and wait a minute or so before pausing it.<br />
Then you can close and restart Firefox and see if resuming works.
You can set the pref browser.download.manager.quitBehavior to 2 on the about:config page.<br />
That will make Firefox ask for confirmation if you want to cancel the download if you close Firefox.

  • Why does download pause/resume actually restart?

    Windows iTunes download pause/resume doesn't actually resume but rather restarts the download.
    Would have been nice to know before actually pausing a 60 minute download.
    Why is the feature called pause/resume? It is not the behavior.

    I just wanted to provide some additional information.
    This problem only occurs when the source package is located in a folder on a system over the network.  The other admin here performed the same test from his system and is getting the same results.  That is, when attempting to install a package which is located in a network folder then the package will indicate that the client system requires a restart.
    If I copy the package from the network folder to my iMac it will want to install correctly and will not require a restart of the client.
    A work around is for each admin to have and maintain a duplicate set of packages.  Typically we have used a network folder for all of the Apple install packages.  This problem started occuring in the last month or so, no idea why at this point.

  • Adobe Media Downloader pauses and will not resume (June 18 deadline!)

    As an Adobe Photoshop Elements subscriber, I scanned and stored 924 pictures, most of them TIFFs of original family photos from the 19th century. Adobe has emailed me to download all the TIFFs before June 18 because of the platform change to Revel, which does not support TIFFs. As instructed, I have downloaded and installed AdobeAir and Adobe Media Downloader and I have made numerous attempts, on two different PCs (both Windows 7), to make the download. Each time, Media Downloader pauses, usually at about image 400, and says to check if the disc is available (plenty of room on my drives, and I have also attempted with a clean external hard drive) and then to resume. Clicking "resume" just brings up the same message endlessly. So I restart Media Downloader and it begins the process again at image 1, only to eventually pause again and ask me to resume. So hard drive space isn't the problem, and my ISP is Verizon FIOS with measured speeds above 75/35, so these pauses shouldn't be being caused by network speeds.
        Given the time constraint,  I tried to resolve this problem today through Adobe's "pay-for-help" telephone line, but was told that the only support for Adobe Media Downloader is through this forum!
         Suggestions on how to make a complete download of my TIFFs when Media Downloader keeps hiccuping?

    Hi, Pattie. I uninstalled Adobe Media Downloader, downloaded it again
    and reinstalled, began "Download" to a new external hard drive with 1.81
    TB of available space (total download is 3.71GB) ... and got to
    "Downloading 9 of 924 items" before getting the error message: "The
    Download has unexpectedly paused. Please check if your drive is
    accessible and click on "Resume" to continue your download." I click on
    "Resume" but it just brings up the same error message repeatedly. So
    please help me with an alternative method.

    Can you start Firefox in [[Safe mode]] ?
    You can also do a clean reinstall and download a fresh Firefox copy from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html and save the file to the desktop.
    Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
    It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    You can initially skip the step to create a new profile, that may not necessary for this issue.

  • Background image vertically distorted -appears ok when paused and restarted

    using 768 x 576 .jpg images as background for a PAL standard idvd:
    - when burned with "PAL"Standard (4:3)" / "professional quality" (movie length is 55 min,)
    - & watching on a laptop/a mac g5 / a windows pc
    the images appeared vertically distorted
    but:
    when pausing and restarting the dvd again the image
    changes to the desired size
    even when i used a quicktime as background movie
    the same problem occurs
    whereas:
    the display on a TV* was fine
    (given that a 4:3 ratio was set for a widescreen tv or using a 4:3 ratio TV)
    when i did not use any image (burning just the movie)
    nothing appeared to be distorted (the movie is not distorted
    neither are the no-images-no-backgrounds-at-all menu screens)
    Is there any specific colour depth or other technical information
    i need to consider to solve this problem?
    ... I noticed that the colour of the image looks significantly different
    on a TV compared to laptop/mac/windows pc
    whereas the movie's colour appears to be quite similar
    on TV/laptop/mac/windows pc ....

    Thank you for trying to help, I really appreciate it.
    It does not matter which option you use. As you know, one would want the background image on each page of a site to be the same size and location to provide a seamless transition from page to page. When using the blank template, the page can have an image put in (using fit, fill, stretch, orig) and be contiguous from page to page. However, when using the Photo template, after clicking on an album image to view larger, the background image unexplicably shifts/distorts downward on the page, and stays that way even upon returning to the album.

    My albums and slideshows disappeared from the left column when I ejected a Canon camera after a download.  My version of iPhoto '08 (V7.1.5(378)) had just crashed when I first connected the Canon camera to download.  I restarted iPhoto.....successfully downloaded 22 photos, and ejected Canon camera, upon which albums & slideshows highlighted blue and disappeared from the left column.  The photos still seem to be under the EVENTS and PHOTOS in the LIBRARY.  Any thoughts?

    Restore from your back up.

    You can't just download it, you must also run the installer. Did you do that step?

  • I have a first generation MacBook Air that has been refurbished via the Apple store. I installed Snow Leopard about a year ago and now, my computer wont update! It will download the updates restart my computer, but then I get an error message!

    I have a first generation MacBook Air that has been refurbished via the Apple store. I installed Snow Leopard about a year ago and now, my computer wont update! It will download the updates restart my computer, but then I get an error message and the computer wont restart!

    What is a error message and what do you see when it appears?
    Haven't much problem with Airs around here, since they have a SSD they tend to be more reliable.
    Perhaps it was a bad update, have you ran through this list of possible fixes?
    Do as many as possible, starting with #1. Until the problem is resolved.
    Use the boot 10.6 USB instead of the disk of course.

  • How to get slideshow to Pause and restart with auto play enabled? all slideshow do not restart!

    How to get slideshow to Pause and restart with auto play enabled? Happening in all slideshow do not restart once one photo is selected

    I agree cwclark, I was going to ask the exact same thing, and yes, the only way to 'restart' the auto play is to reload the page which is frustrating to say the least. Every other site I've seen with this kind of 'auto-play' slide show still auto-plays even after clicking the 'next' or 'previous' buttons. Adobe, you need to get a fix for this ASAP

    I've never seen this.  Try updating via iTunes on your computer.  Plug it in and see if iTunes says it needs updating.
    It worked via iTunes
