Stuck halfway through rendering artwork

Hi there.
I am on a Mac. I have been using Illustrator without problems for the last couple of weeks. This evening I was working on a simple graphic; I attempted to use the 3-D effect again, having used it with no problems during the evening. Illustrator immediately froze (after throwing me out a couple of times) and just get stuck halfway through rendering the artwork. The file is only 1.4 meg so I don't see why it should struggle. I've tried to turning off and on again, every time I open the file the bad just get stuck halfway through rendering the artwork. Frustrating. Please help thank you

Thanks for your reply, Larry. Sorry it has taken me a while to notice that you kindly tried to assist me. In the end I just rebooted and it seemed to sort itself out. Thanks again for taking the time. Merry Christmas to you.

Unable to download apps, I've tried everything. Help me plz!

It first starts off as it is downloading then it stops, and says unable to download. I have tried everything including reboot, signing off and turning off iPad, resetting my settings and just recently changed my password. Yet nothing seems to work. The weird thing is it let me update my current apps. I would really appreciate if someone could help me out.

Trying a different hotspot is a good idea. If it works there, then you may have issues with your home wifi.
I once had an issue with my router. There was a setting on it that made any large file download as corrupt and I had to change the setting on the router to clear that up. (I can't get more specific than that, it was a couple of years ago and every router is different)
So if you can download from somewhere else, then the issue may be your local internet and maybe the router.
if you're downloading from a wifi hotspot then they may have put download limits on the router to keep people from downloading big files. If it's your regular home wifi, then you can troubleshoot your router and see if there's a setting for you to change.

Windows 7 - Downloads stopping halfway through

I recently downloaded windows 7 and it is running well on my computer. However, itunes will not complete downloads (I was testing with a video podcast) - they start and then stop halfway through, and give error 3259. I have run the connectivity diagnostic, checked my firewall, uninstalled and reinstalled itunes and it still doesn't work. My anti virus program is AVG - could this be affecting the downloads? Is there anything else that I can do?

Very similar issue for me. I copied my Vista profile to my server and installed Windows 7 Pro. Reinstalled all apps, copied data from old profile back into new one. iTunes loaded with everything EXACTLY as it was before (right down to playcount on songs and everything). For several days, no problem downloading video podcasts. A few days ago, that changed. Out of the blue, it would disconnect me 50-80% of the way through the download and give me error 3259 (& 9006 once). I've read online how it's due to firewall settings, antivirus and old iTunes. I was running iTunes 9.0.1 and it would not permit me to update to 9.0.2 so I downloaded it and installed on my own. Still have the problem. The firewall whitelisted iTunes and I opened up recommended ports as well. No change. I'm using AVG free so it doesn't have a firewall. With Vista, I used McAfee but then I had Windows 7 working fine with AVG and allowing downloads until this sudden change.
The recommended fixes DO NOT work. Changing firewall settings changes nothing. The antivirus has no firewall and no settings for any kind of whitelisting of iTunes anyways. Updating iTunes changes nothing. I can still download the podcasts manually through Firefox or using my Mac Mini running OS X Server (10.5). Given how it worked at one time, nothing changed, then it suddenly stopped, I'm at a loss.
I did get two to download today but I changed nothing before they started and then the third in line to download failed.
I haven't been on Apple discussions lately but since it is a forum, my background is entirely IT. It's how I make my living (troubleshooting in general). It's possible I have overlooked something but given the recommended fixes out there so far and all the variations on them that I have tried, it is unlikely. The issue must be caused by something other than firewall settings, antivirus or iTunes version. If anyone has any suggestions, I'm open. I'm getting tired of using Windows LiveSync to keep podcasts updated on this Windows 7 laptop.
Any help finding the actual fix for this problem is greatly appreciated.

Download stalls halfway through won't restore after

Trying to install the latest version of software for 4th Gen IPOD touch, and it stalls halfway through. Now will not restore the IPOD or install the software.

ok....after a couple hours of posting this i did eventually get an error messege. Why it didn't come up the other 10 times i tried to restore my phone im not sure.
Anyhow in troubleshooting the error messege it said something about possibly going to another computer with a current version of itunes on it and trying the process from there.
I did that and it worked. Now i am just trying to recover all the applications that i had downloaded as they are important in what i do IRL but at least i have a working phone again in which to call tech support if i need to.

Download stopped halfway through

My song stopped downloading halfway through and just keeps saying retry. I just want my song!

Welcome to the Apple Community Jessica.
Try deleting the problematic file (electing to remove original file if/when prompted) and then re-downloading the file from the iTunes store.
You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option from the Quick Links section in the top right corner of the iTunes homepage in your iTunes application on your computer.
You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option which is revealed in the iTunes app on your iOS device by tapping the more button at the bottom of the screen.
If the problem re-occurs, select the content which is causing a problem and use the 'Report a problem' button in Your Purchase History using your computer.

An app that i downloaded is stuck halfway through "downloading-: and in the purchases on app store, the "install" button doesn't say anything. it's just grayed out

Please help!!

There are two ways to recover from this condition.
1. Select
Store ▹ View My Account
from the App Store menu bar, then select View hidden purchases. Stop or resume the download.
2. Open LaunchPad and find the icon of the app you're trying to install. There will be a small progress bar below it. Click the "X" to stop the download.

Help I made a boob. I was having trouble with my Adobe authorisation in my Override app, it suddenly wouldn't accept my password so I couldn't download books. I tried everything I could think of but no use. Finally I had a brainwave I would change my e

Help please,
i've made a catalogue of mistakes. I've had an Overdrive app for ages to access library books which was great but this is what happened-
1. Suddenly a message kept coming up each time I logged in saying Adobe acct ........... is saved in your overdrive acct do you want to deauthorise or authorise. I kept clicking on authorise but thought it might be better to deauthorise and authorise it properly in settings. I tried this but my Adobe ID didn't work- nothing came up to say it was wrong but I kept getting thrown back to the authorisation screen and could not get any further or download books. I did check my password was okay by signing into my Adobe account and it was the only one I had which I had used when I upgraded to I.o.s.7 and it was fine.
I tried logging in and out, resetting my overdrive acct and eventually deleted the overdrive app and then reinstating it but nothing worked.
2. I decided if I got a new Adobe acct using my google email address then authorising the Adobe reader through this might work. However. It all seemed to go well I created the account then put all the details into my overdrive acct. thought this was going well but I got a message as I tried to download a book 'fulfil code 2004' , saying another ID could not be used. I'm now stuck it won't allow me to try my original ID.
Can anyone help help me out of this mess and can I delete an Adobe ID once created please?

Here is a link which describes the process for changing an Adobe ID:

Download paused halfway through

While downloading the Jack Johnson album In Between Dreams, the last song Constellation got stalled almost half way through. I've tried both restarting and and using itunes on my laptop, neither of which has worked. I am in a bunch as I am living the country for 5 weeks so i need this resolved pretty quickly.
intel imac 1.83 Mac OS X (10.4.6)

I am stuck with the same problem - downloads always stall and tehre is no facility to start where it left off. Exactly what did you do to resolve your problem?
I am pretty certain that the issue is my internet connection (128/64 asdl ine) as the same Mac has been able to access the ITMS and download successfully from other connections. I cant change my provider (its the only one available) but are there any other changes that I can make to get over this issue?

Leopard install is stuck halfway through. How do I get out?

I have a Power Mac G4, currently running OSX 10.3.9. Today I bought the installer disc for Leopard, and began an install.
The install is stuck on the "Installing" screen (which comes after it checks your disc is OK). I have the dreaded spinning beachball of death, and the thin blue line in the progress bar is going nowhere. Under the progress bar it says "Time remaining: Calculating...
My G4 specs:
Power PC G4 (3.3)
OSX 10.3.9
Processor: 1.25GHz
Memory: 1.25GB DDR SDRAM
I set the disc going in the lower DVD chamber (not the DVD player that came with the Mac, but another one I had installed that also has a DVD burner). Is it possible that my Mac doesn't like me using this DVD drive?
Help! How do I stop it and try again? I don't want to just shut down my machine in case I kill in mid-install. Is there a way of force-quitting the install or something?

A halfway installed operating system is not totally lost necessarily. It could just be a bad directory, or insufficient space, or a corrupt file somewhere that has yielded an issue installing. Regardless, you can attempt to recover data to an empty Firewire external hard drive at least the same size as your internal drive using Prosoft Data Rescue, Subrosasoft Filesalvage, or Boomerang's Boomerang if you can't mount the hard drive via Target Disk Mode using another Mac or booting that external hard drive from a second partition. To mount it via Target Disk Mode do this set of instructions:
http://www.info.apple.com/kbnum/n58583
Your recovered files won't be bootable, and registration codes won't be saved, but at least your data has a good chance of being saved if you do one of the above.
If you decide to get a second Firewire hard drive, my recommendation is to get one at least 20 GB larger than your internal hard drive, partition it, and install Leopard, Superduper, and one or all of the data recovery programs (Data Rescue, Filesalvage, Boomerang) on the 20 GB partition, and leaving the empty partition to recover data to. If you can boot that external hard drive's partition and do that recovery in one way or another, then you can safely analyze why the internal hard drive failed installation.
To boot the external hard drive after installing the operating system on it, use the Startup Manager below:
http://www.info.apple.com/kbnum/n106178
If none of the three recovery utilities can see the internal hard drive, then a data recovery specialist such as http://www.drivesavers.com/ is necessary. They are expensive.
This is why you should always backup before installing new software, and after saving any important data. See my backup FAQ*:

6.0.2 download stops halfway through ?

I have not had firefox before, I was told by ebay to download it as i ma haveing problems with ebay being very slow and freezing? I went onto aol and googled firfox then clicked on a download for forefox 6.0.2 it asked me to run it i clicked it it then asked me to click on my computer name so i did it then stoped i have left it but it has stopped running ? what did i do wrong?

Firefox does use mirror sites, so the downloads can come from more than one site address. You will normally get an official version. I suppose there could however be something unusual, for instance you could already have a copy of Firefox that itself did not come from an official site.
I would suggest you upgrade by downloading a copy of the Firefox 6 installer from http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/fx/?from=getfirefox
* see also [[updating firefox]]
You could even consider a clean re-install, but if you do that note to retain the profile folder and files, if you delete files only delete the files in the Programs folder. Should you choose to delete from Windows OS control Panel, do NOT use the option to remove settings, however that is worded, or you will loose all bookmarks passwords etc.
