Downloads Improvement (Indicate Sites That Do Not Support Resume)

I'm generally quite happy with the stock Downloads pause/resume functionality but I encounter a site (not publicly accessible) that does not support getting a file from an arbitrary position as would be needed for Resume to work.
Can the download functionality be changed so pause/resume buttons are shown ONLY if the site supports resuming from an arbitrary position and show some other icon(s) to clearly indicate the site doesn't support the required functionality?
This would be a nice enhancement if it's fairly easy to implement and even if a bit difficult if such sites aren't all that rare it might still be worth adding this enhancement.
Thanks,
JD

You can't always tell on before hand if a server supports resuming. If you start a very large download and want to be sure then you have to test it yourself to confirm that you can resume a paused download. You can also use an external download manager that may do its own check.

    Yes, due to Incomplete Software Update on your iPhone your Device is now in Recovery Mode and you cannot take a Backup now. But if you have taken a backup earlier then you can Restore that backup on your iPhone after you Reset your iPhone to Factory Settings.

  • Features that are not supported by Excel in the browser and interactive reports will be removed from the saved copy

    I Created a power view in Excel 2013 and uploaded to my Power BI for o365 site.
    But when i click on my excel file it opens in browser,After that i click on File tab its showing me two option 
    1. Save a Copy
    2.Download a copy
    When i click on save a copy its showing me an warning below
    Features that are not supported by Excel in the browser and interactive reports will be removed from the saved copy.
    Continue with Save?
    If i continue saving it only saves an excel files with data only not the power view which i want to save with applied filters.
    Please help me for this

    Just to clarify, when you hit the option of Save As Copy, the whole experience goes into a "read-write" mode in Excel services, which currently doesn't support authoring, just consumption of PowerView sheets.
    Two mitigations that come to mind:
    1. Download the copy (as Brad suggests), rename the file and upload.
    2. Use the send to option of SharePoint online, give the file the right target document library (can be the same as source) and rename the file:

  • I need to install Mozella Firefox 2.0 to fill out a form that is not supported with the newer version that is installed on my PC. Do I need to delete the new version before using the older version?

    I need to install Mozella Firefox 2.0 to fill out a form that is not supported to input info from the newer version that is installed on my PC. Do I need to delete the newer version before using the older version? If so, how do I delete the new version and install the older version?

    If you just need it for one site you can use the portable version of Firefox 2 instead. You can install the portable version on a USB key, or if one is not available choose the custom install and install it somewhere on your hard drive. The portable version will not interfere with your current version of Firefox. You can get the portable version from http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/firefox_portable - the link for Firefox 2.0.0.20 is near the bottom of that page.

  • Xcode is running from a volume that does not support ownership. Please move Xcode to one that does.

    I have Problem,  I can't install Xcode 6.1 on my iMac due "Xcode is running from a volume that does not support ownership. Please move Xcode to one that does."
    I have two HD partition, First one I use for my Lion OS, and the second I just installed Yosemite since Xcode 6.1 need OS upper than lion.
    Here's my HD Info.
    Mac HD : Yosemite
    Machintosh HD: Lion
    I do try to uncheck and check when I install Xcode. Maybe I don't know where should I put Xcode.dmg when I want to install.
    Thank you. Sorry bad english.

    Run Disk Utility select the volume you are installing Xcode on and look at the bottom of the screen and make sure Owners Enabled: says yes.
    Also make sure there are no other versions of Xcode anywhere on your system. If there are delete them all and then do a fresh download and install of Xcode, BTW why are you nor installing from the Mac App Store, where did you get the dmg from?
    post back if that does not resolve the issue.

  • Why do I get this message when I try to play a song "The license cannot be downloaded because your Web browser is not supported.

    I downloaded songs from a cd and when I try to play them with windows media player I get this message The license cannot be downloaded because your Web browser is not supported.
    To download a license, you must install Microsoft Internet Explorer 7 or later.
    To install the latest version of Internet Explorer, see the Windows Update page."

    Did you copy the songs directly from a CD or did you download the files from a website?
    You can use a different player than the Windows Media Player to play the songs if you copied them from a CD to avoid that.

  • Message uses a character set that is not supported by the internet service

    Does any one have any advice on how to fix this problem?
    E-mails sent from my iphone 3G periodically arrive in an unreadable form at the recipient. The body of the e-mail has been replaced with the message "This message uses a character set that is not supported by the internet service...." The problem e-mails also include an attachment that contains an unformatted text file containing the original message surrounded by what appears to be lots of formatting data that is displayed as gibberish.
    This occurs sometimes, but not always, even with the same recipients. I am sending e-mail through a G-mail account that is configured on the iphone using IMAP. I have tried the gmail account to use the two available formatting options for mail, but neither fixes the problem.
    I have also upgraded to 2.01 and restored a few times without impact.

    Hi,
    I got somewhat similar problem with special charecters(German umlaud �,�,�..).
    I create a file with java having special charecters in it. Now if I open this file I am able to view the special charecters in it.But If I attach this file send it using following code then receiver can not see the umlaud charecters in it.They get replaced by _ or ?
    MimeBodyPart mbp2 = new MimeBodyPart();
    FileDataSource fds = new FileDataSource(fileName);
    mbp2.setDataHandler(new DataHandler(fds));
    mbp2.setFileName(output.getName());
    Multipart mp = new MimeMultipart();
    mp.addBodyPart(mbp2);
    msg.setContent(mp);
    Transport.send(msg);
    From you message it looks like you are able to send the mail attachment correctly(by preserving special charecters).
    Can you tell me what might be wrong in my code.
    I appriciate your efforts in advance.

    I wanted to know how to unlock my iphone, since I had to restore it and when it restarted, it appeared this message: "The SIM card que you currently have installed in this iphone is from a carrier that is not supported under the Currently actuvation policy that is assigned by the server activion. this is not a hardware issue with the iPhone.

    I need help, I use my phone for everything enclusive to work. I appreciate if you can help. I'm from Brazil. My name and giullia.

    Did you purchase this device from Apple or an authorized reseller? It sounds as if you had a device that was jailbroken/hacked to operate on your carrier. Upon updating the iOS, it is now locked back to the original carrier the device was locked to.
    Only the carrier the device is locked to can authorize an unlock. You will need to make contact with that carrier and see if they provide unlocking services, and if they do, if you qualify for an unlock. Otherwise, you are out of luck. One that carrier can take care of the unlocking.

  • This might be a simple question.   On those sites that do not differentiate between models when on the internet I.e. Facebook when after your comment and you cannot hit "enter" on an iPad for examp. And speed is slow to connect.  What is = to post?

    This might be a simple question. On those sites that do not differentiate between CRT, laptop, tablet etc. such as an iPad Mini and using the Facebook site fir example when going to post a comment and you do not have a enter button on the IPad and the speed is slow how do you get your comments to post if we do not have a enter button?

    I don't have facebook so I cannot answer but for your personal security, I have asked the hosts to remove your e-mail address.   It is very unwise to publish this.

  • "one or more of the items in your selection contains Aperture albums that are not supported in iphoto".

    I have some folders in iPhoto called 'Recovered Folder'. When I try to delete them I get this message: "one or more of the items in your selection contains Aperture albums that are not supported in iphoto".
    I don't use Aperture (did install it to try it out), and have deleted Aperture App from my Mac.
    How can I get rid of these fodlers?

    i finally figured this out:
    fyi, iphoto and aperture can now share (i.e., access) the same library. apple details it here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5260?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
    i use both iphoto and aperture, and i suspect something went amiss, at some point, while aperture was accessing my iphoto library.
    this is how i fixed the problem:
    i launched aperture, then (per the instructions linked above) switched to (i.e., accessed) my iphoto library. i was then able to delete the "recovered folder" and the album it contained. i then quit aperture and relaunched iphoto.
    NOTE: at that time, although i expected the "recovered folder" to be gone, it was still present. but this time, i was able to delete the folder from within iphoto without the "contains aperture items" error message.
    (Sparky030405, i realize you've since deleted aperture. while i can't say my method is the *only* way to solve this problem, it's the way i was able to solve it. so, you might consider reinstalling aperture in order to delete the folder, then uninstalling aperture, once again.)

  • It says SIM card is from a carrier that is not supported activation policy?

    after reseting my phone i am very stunned because it says that The SIM card that you currently have installed in this iPhone is from a carrier that is not supported under the activation policy that is currently assigned by the activation server. This is not a hardware issue with the iPhone. Please insert another SIM card from a supported carrier or request that this iPhone be unlocked by your carrier. Please contact Apple for more information.
         Cant understand what to do now...

    Sounds like the iPhone was hacked to be unlocked. When restoring an iPhone with iTunes that was hacked to be unlocked, the hack is removed and re-locked to the carrier the iPhone was sold as carrier locked with when new.
