Downloaded Files don't write on external disc once completed

Hi,
Ever since the last two itunes update (v.10.2.2 & 10.2.1) I had some problems with the podcast & apps from saving to an external disc.
I've used the same setup without any problems for over 6 months but for about a month or two I've start to have some problems. Here we go :
When I download podcast and/or Apps, once the download reach 100% and the "Done" message appears, 1 time out off 2 the files doesn't write
to my external Network drive (where my librairy & media files are stored). When it happen, I have to retry the download 1 or 2 times for the files to write correctly on the disk. Sometimes the files write correctly but as I said, almost one time out of two it doesn't!
I'm using a 2TB LaCie 2Big Network 2 configured in mirror mode (1TB mirrored) on witch I've transfered my Library files and Medias Files.
As I said earlier, This setup worked for me flawlessly for over 6 month.
The only thing I can remember that have change recently is the new firmware in my LaCie disk (I've send them the same message about this issue)
and the other thing is the newest version of iTunes.
I don't have any issue writing to the disc in any other situation.
And before someone ask me the question : Yes, The disk is correctly mounted every time before launching iTunes!
Hope someone at Apple or in the community could help me on this one.
Every time I have to re-download a podcast or app, It my Internet bandwith that I use and my Internet provider give me a bandwith limit per month!
Thanks,
Martin Brazeau

I guess not :-(

  • My downloaded files don't appear in the download window

    My downloaded files don't appear in the download window. The download window is blank, yet the files download OK.

    Thank you for your prompt help. When I finally got to my profile file, I couldn't find downloads.rdf to delete, but I did find the downloads.sqlite file. Have I misunderstood your help?

  • Downloaded files don't open automatically

    why most of files, Word, Excel and many other don't open automatically on desktop after downloading them, is very irritating to go and search all the time
    Thanks for help

    You don't need to search for them. When you download a file, the Safari Downloads window opens automatically. After the file has finished downloading, double-click on its icon in the Downloads window to open it directly. Also note that you can go to its location by clicking on the magnifying-glass icon to the right. This will open a Finder window with the file selected – handy if you want to delete it or move it to another location.
    As Mulder points out, some files (such as MS Office files) will never open automatically, because doing so could be unsafe for your computer. But files that are considered "safe" will open automatically if you have the right option selected in your preferences: Safari > Preferences > General, check the box next to "Open 'safe' files after downloading."

  • Downloaded files don't appear in iTunes

    I'm trying to download an MIT Physics course from iTunesU, but only three random lectures will show up after I download them.
    The others give me the error "There were problems adding xxx to iTunes." When I go into the "Mymusic" folder there is a "Download" folder there containing folders for each download. Those folders contain a working MP4 file called "download.mp4."
    I've found that I can download the files on my iPhone and they show up in iTunes when I sync, but It's so much easier to download them the "normal" way - through iTunes.
    If anyone has seen this before or has any ideas how I can fix this, I'd appreciate the help.
    Thanks,
    - Paul

    You're sure they are not there? Have you done a
    search with the name in iTunes? Or on your disk with
    Spotlight?
    I've tried all these things to no avail. Do you have any other suggestions?

  • Downloaded files don't appear on desktop

    I just started experiencing an odd problem and when I went searching, I found the topic in the archives, unanswered - so I thought I would try again.
    For the last few days, everything I download to the desktop - doesn't appear on my desktop. When I search in my downloads folder, I find all of the files, but they don't physically show up unless I relaunch the finder - which is frustrating and annoying.
    Does anyone know what causes this? The posts relating to this problem go back quite a way, so it can't be an update issue and I haven't changed any settings or loaded any new software recently.
    Any thoughts?

    Thanks for clarifying. Are you saying that there's a folder named downloads on your Desktop that you're not seeing getting filled with the downloads or is the Desktop your downloads folder? In any case, you're describing a Finder hangup that's been around for quite awhile, but yours is extremely rare in that only relaunching the Finder gets it to update properly. Create a new admin user account, log into it, set up your browser to download to the Desktop, download some things, and see if the problem persists. Report back.

  • /Downloaded Files Don't Match Website?

    I am unable to "get" download correct files that match website showing in my DW8 document window? I have repeatedly checked with IP provider as to using correct server info/ftp, etc. and I am using correct data. Still after repeated attempts I do not get downloaded the correct files that match my website up on the web?  Any suggestions?

    I am not really understanding your question - sorry.
    You are trying to download the fiiles from the remote to your harddrive is that correct?
    Have you set up a site definition and entered the information given to you by the ISP into the Remote information box?Z
    When you make a connection to the remote server, do you see the files on the remote site?  Are you sure you are looking at the correct folder on the remote site, sometimes it's named:  public-html  or www folder or by something else the ISP should tell you this.
    Have you tried connecting to the remote using another FTP program just to test that it does actually work - something like Filezilla or CuteFTP?
    Just some troubleshooting ides to get started with.

  • When I download files in Firefox they only get about 99% complete even though it tells me they downloaded successfully.

    9 out of 10 times my download gets truncated in Firefox. For example, let's say I was downloading a 42.2 mB file, it would get to about 42.18 and then complete. I would then try to open the file to find it was corrupt. I would then open up IE9 and download the exact same file, and I would get the full 42.2 mB and the file would open flawlessly. I have tried disabling all extensions/addons, nothing. I have reinstalled Firefox cleanly a few times, no dice. I have tried disabling any file system protections I have, nada. I'm at a loss right now as to what else I can try. I love Firefox, I've been using it since it's original release, but I need to be able to download. Every other browser I've tried works great in that department, except for Firefox all of a sudden. Anyone have an idea?

    Just tried that, but the issue persists. Any other ideas?

  • Files not showing up on external Drive

    I'm having this really strange and irritating issue with my external hard drive in 10.5.
    I use a folder named "incoming" on an external usb HDD for all my miscellaneous downloaded files, but for some reason, when the transfer completes in the download application, the new files don't appear there. Similarly, when I unzip or create new files on this drive, they'll inevitably either disappear, or folders will appear empty.
    Even stranger, I can actually see all these files and use them like normal if I open my external drive by typing "open /Volumes/Storage" in Terminal, but if I browse through Finder, half are missing.
    I was using this drive in Tiger with no issues, it's HFS+ formatted and I've tried running Verify/Repair in Disk Utility to no avail.
    UPDATE: Upon looking at the mount point of the drive in finder, it says it's mounted at "/Volumes/Storage 1". When I open that mount point in Terminal I can only see some of the files, but when I open "/Volumes/Storage" I can see all the files.

    I have a customer also reporting this same issue with files copied to an external RAID not showing up in Finder, since the 10.5.2 update / Leopard Graphics 1.0 updates. Zapping PRAM fixed the problem temporarily but after a day it's come back. [This is only one of four identical iMacs updated in the same manner that is showing the problem].

  • How to download files from the internet??

    I am a new Mac user, and I am soooo befuddled by downloading files, and what to do with them once they are on the desktop/under devices in Finder. Would someone here be kind enough to explain how to do this, please, or show me in the forum where this is already covered? Thank you very much in advance.

    Hiya,
    Downloading files is simple. All downloads appear in a download window that will open up. Once they are downloaded, you can click the "clear" button if you wish - you don't need them in there any more, and close the window. Files will then be wherever they're set to download to in your Safari preferences - Desktop, Downloads folder etc - and can then be used as you wish, opened, edited, moved. You can drag the files from the desktop into folders in finder. Sadly, someone at Apple foolishly thinks having no "cut" option in finder as you do in windows was a good idea - not quite sure how they came to that conclusion - so you'll have to drag the files from one folder to another, or copy them and then delete the original.
    If you're downloading compressed files (.zip) you may want to look up "Stuffit Expander" - a great file extraction tool.
    Hope this was the information you're after.

  • I have an external server that stores all my movies and music, is there a way to stream it to my apple tv? If not is there a way I can link the folders to itunes (without downloading files to computer) and will that make them view-able for the apple TV?

    If not is there a way I can link the folders to itunes (without downloading files to computer) that will make them view-able for the apple TV?
    If none of that works is there a way to get it working alternativly?
    Additional Information:
    Everything is linked via ethernet cable.
    I'm using a PC to set it up.
    If you have any other questions feel free to ask and I'll help where I can.
    Thank you for any help

    (I think the daughter got he better end of the deal!)   I believe if you change the password and user id one of the devices it will stop that from occurring. But I'm not the one to tell you how to do it; someone like "Illaass" (Illaass seems to know how to correct / fix almost anything!) will know how if you don't. Just look for the "cat" icon.

  • How do I download directly to a file on my computer? I don't want to have to go online to find downloaded files. I want to send them directly to a file in my docs.

    I don't want to look for downloaded files on the net. I want to download directly to my documents files on my hard drive. Too many steps when it automatically downloads to a file on Foxfire.

    Firefox has a basic download manager, without any frills. You may want to look into an external download manager program that has all the features you want for downloading files.

    I did what you said and updated FF, now the download goes to the external HDD that I specified, but now FF bugs, it freezes (not responing) :s
    I reinstalled it but it doesn't fix the problem. I don't know what to do :(

  • When i download files on MEGA it says that I don't have enough system space but on MEGA i only have file with 128MB and on my disk 120GB, what's wrong?

    i'm trying to download small files like 190MB, together is max.1GB with MEGA. it comes to 100% but then i got a message that i don't have enough system space. on MEGA i have only around 1GB and my disc is at 120GB. i don't know what to do

    Hi copycat667,
    Please see your system resources in order to find out how much space you have left for this MEGA program you are having difficulties with.
    I do not completely understand your question, but I will do my best to answer. If you are downloading files from a website called Mega on Firefox, it may be that the space allocated to the folder it is downloading to is out of space or that there is a limitation on the website how much you can download in a certain time period?
    Other topics similar:

    Mega uses a filesytem api to detect the size left: [http://developer.chrome.com/apps/fileSystem] this may put you in the right direction.

  • "Safari could not download the file because there is not enough disc space"

    "Safari could not download the file because there is not enough disc space"
    I have 60gb available on my MBA and I have "read and write" privileges for the download folder. This error seemingly came out of nowhere. It doesn't matter if the file is 1gb or 10mb, I'll get the error. All I have to do is remove the .download extension and I can use the file which is complete despite the error.
    This is really annoying so any help would be appreciated.

    I never used to have a problem with creating a new folder and moving the download into it
    But you'll have a problem if you do it now.
