Downloading only restarts, cannot resume

I go to a web site and start downloading a file. The download window comes up, and the file appears there and starts downloading. If I click the little "x", the file stops downloading as it should. But if I click the arrow to reload, the file download starts all over; it doesn't resume from where it left off.
I tried right clicking on the file name, and then choosing Resume: same behavior.
I have Safari version 5.0.4.
I thought interrupted downloads were supposed to be able to pick up where they left off.

Hi,
Open a Finder window. Select your Home folder in the Sidebar on the left. Open the LIbrary folder then the Safari folder.
Move the Downloads.plist file from the Safari folder to the Trash.
Restart your Mac.

I just downloaded the newest update for mountain lion. After downloading and restarting for installation, I got a message stating that the update cannot be installed due to an error. Yet when I check I have version 10..8.3 and safari version

I just downloaded the newest update for mountain lion. After downloading any restarting for installation, I got a message stating that the update cannot be installed due to an error. Yet when I check I have version 10..8.3 and safari version 6.0.3, which the update was for. Does this mean that the update is iinstalled and the message was incorrect?

Good timing! Oh well, at least you shouldn't have to update again for a while. It will be nice kickstarting your Mac with the very latest System Update knowing any hiccups from 10.8.2 would have been ironed out if they were going to affect your workflow at all.
Cheers and Happy Computing

Exactly what it says.
Do as the message says.

Have a first gen ipad. Can't download version 5.1 because iTunes 11.1 need to be downloaded. Cannot download version of iTunes. " errors occured while installing updates. if the problem persists choose tools download only and try installing manually"

Have a first gen iPad with 4.3 IOS. Can't download version 5.1 because iTunes 11.1 need to be downloaded. Cannot download version of iTunes. " errors occured while installing updates. if the problem persists choose tools>download only and try installing manually". This is as far as I can get. Can't find tools to manually download. When I try to reset to factory settings, I get an error also.

Try updating your iTunes using an iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) installer file downloaded from the Apple website:

Welcome to the Apple community.
The apps you have purchased for your mobile device will not work on a computer. You will need to download the appropriate versions on your Mac from the Mac apps store.

Cannot resume app update

Hi. Yesterday, while I was updating of one of my apps, wi-fi crashed. Now I cannot resume the update.
Any glue?
Thanks a lot!

Make sure that you do not have a stalled download in iTunes - a song or podcast .... if you have a download in there that did not finish, complete that one first. Only one thing can download at a time on the iPad so that could be what is causing the problem.
If that doesn't work - sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
Settings>Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Go back to Settings>Store>Sign in and then try to update again. Tap one waiting icon only if necessary to start the download stream.

Since downloading latest itunes cannot open itunes

since downloading latest itunes cannot open itunes

EDIT:
Steps
Use the Control Panel to uninstall iTunes and related software components in the following order and then restart your computer:
iTunes
QuickTime
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support
Bonjour
Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later)
Important: Uninstalling these components in a different order, or only uninstalling some of these components may have unintended affects.
After verifying that iTunes is completely uninstalled, restart your computer and then download and install the latest version of iTunes.
If the issue you are troubleshooting is not resolved after following these steps, it is not necessary to remove and reinstall iTunes multiple times. Instead, you may find helpful information on the iTunes Support page, such as troubleshooting steps related to specific alert messages.
**try these steps, make sure you remove all components of itunes that it says and in that order specifically.
there are several other steps to try to solve the issue, but this is typically going to be the best option.

After downloading ios7 I cannot open any games

After downloading ios7 I cannot open any games. Help!

You may want to take a look at the restrictions section. Go to the settings app and pick general, restrictions. If that doesn't work
Try a Restart.
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
Resetting your settings
You can also try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered. You won't lose any data, but it takes time to enter all of the settings again.
Resetting your device
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Apple recommends this only if you are unable to restart it.
Or if this doesn't work and nobody else on the blog doesn't have a better idea you can contact Apple.
Here is a link to their contacts with most of the information below.

TS3274 I started downloading a movie from iTunes and lost connection. When I regained my connection and logged into the iTunes app I was told to go to my downloads to restart. Where is it and how do I get the movies I already paid for?????????

I started a movie download go interrupted and now cannot resume. How do I restart a paid for movie.

Launch iTunes Store app.
Tap on "Purchases" tab. (This assumes you've already logged in to your iTunes account.)
Tap on "Movies" tab at the top, center of the screen.
Optionally tap on "Not on This iPad" tab.
Tap the "Download from iCloud" icon (downward-pointing arrow coming out of cloud icon).

Apple Mail downloads only one mail at a time...

Hi Everybody,
My PowerBook runs on Tiger 10.4.11. And I have Apple Mail version 2.1.3, which I have configured to my gmail account.
Just a few days back I noticed something very peculiar about the download habit of Apple Mail which now downloads only one mail (this has started a few weeks back). Irrespective of how many mails there are on my gmail, when I press 'get mail' button, it connects to my gmail account and shows & downloads only one mail(the first in the row). Now, when I figured out the problem I have to press the 'get mail' button again and again till there are no more mails to download. It actually downloads all mails based on the receipt time, but only one at a time.
Does anyone here have any idea what this could be. I really look forward to sorting this out.
Thanks in advance
Malaya

Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc that came with your computer, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
6. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
The usual reason why updates fail or mess things up, is if Permissions are not fixed before & after every update, with a reboot... you may get a partial update when the installer finds it doesn't have Permissions to change one obscure little part of the OS, leaving you with a mix of OS versions.
Some people get away without Repairing Permissions for years, some for only days.
If Permissions are wrong before applying an update, you could get mixed OS versions, if Directory is the slightest messed up, who knows!
If many Permission are repaired, or any Directory errors are found, you may need to re-apply some the latest/biggest updates.
May even need to do an Archive and Install if you have room on the HD...
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107120
I only use Software Update to see what is needed, then get them for real via...
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/
That way I can wait a week or so, check the forums for potential problems, and get Permissions & such in order before installing.
