During downloads, it stops downloading, how do I restart sluggish downloads?

downloads come in fast at first, then slow down and stop. takes forever to take a download over 12 MB. I haven't got time to wait all day.

    That suggests that the installer is getting damaged during the download.
    I'd first try downloading an installer from the Apple website using a different web browser:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    If you use Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa), do you get a working installer?

  • HT4623 I tried to update my ipad air to IOS 7.1 but it shows error that "The software for the iphone was corrupted during download" How can I fix this problem ?

    I tried to update my ipad air from IOS 7.0.4 to 7.1 on iTunes. I clicked download and update, it started to download normally but when download finished iTunes shows error that "The software for the iphone was corrupted during download".
    How can I fix this error ?

    I had the same problem. In the end I downloaded it manually. Here's the steps assuming you are on a Mac and have an iPad Air (Wifi). If not you can find other restore links here.
    In the terminal (it kept failing to download in Safari):
    curl http://appldnld.apple.com/iOS7.1/031-4521.20140310.D2Ydl/iPad4,1_7.1_11D167_Rest ore.ipsw >>~/Desktop/iPad4,1_7.1_11D167_Restore.ipsw
    Once the file has downloaded, move it to ~/Library/iTunes/iPad Software Updates/
    Quit and relaunch iTunes.
    Should now work for you.

  • Adobe BRIDGE CS 5 PHOTO DOWNLOADER freezes and/or stops working during download after 2 years of use

    Adobe BRIDGE CS 5 PHOTO DOWNLOADER freezes and/or stops working during download after 2 years of use. I have uninstalled/re installed twice, cleaned system, adjusted Bridge settings with no change. And I have found no helpful troublshooting tips in forum or on web.

    Does it freeze with other type of cards.  Have seem some post that suggest an imbedded CODEC on the flash card can cause file corruption in Bridge and Mac Finder.

    Download again, move the existing file out of the applications folder first.

  • Itunes update always fails during download - it gets to the last 3 mb or so and hangs until I cancel it.  Any idea how to fix?

    iTunes fails to update.  During download, it gets to last (presunambly) package and hangs at last 3 Mb.  I have left it for days, it won't complete. Any idea how to fix?

    This is a common issue.  Temporarily disable the Anti-Virus and Firewall software on the computer.

    How much internet data consumed during downloading process?
    Thank you,

    You should use wi-fi or iTunes, so that it really doesn't matter. 
    Why do you really need to know?

    Hi Huntress. The phone came with only the thin card onboard. So I continued using my sim card from my present carrier. Not knowing to which carrier it was locked - actually I thought it was not locked to any carrier, as that was what I was told.
    To day I have an iPhone 4 - this time from a apple shore. I just want to unlock the 3G, but I do not know who to contact. I just thought that apple could unlock such an old iPhone, if nobody else can. 
    I know a lot of people buy such phones, but the reality is they either are using an illegal SIM like the gevey, or they have been hacked.  True unlocked phones are very expensive items as you do not get the benefit of the carrier subsidising the price as part of the terms of a contract.  So anytime you see some online or ecommerce only site selling so-called "unlocked" iPhones, be aware they are almost assuredly NOT actually unlocked and either will end up not working, or the hack letting them function as unlocked will get wiped out the first time you try to update iOS.
    Apple processes official unlock requests from carriers, but they will only do so if the request is sent through the proper channels from the carrier.  So buying from these scam artists (yes, I do consider them scams, as they are at the very least much less than truthful about what they are actually selling you) more often then not just ends in disappointment and an unuseable phone.

    In that case, drag the Lion installer from your application folder to the trash. Empty trash. Now press option key and click on 'purchased' tab. The button next to the Lion installer now should say 'install' click on that to download again.

  • When downloading CS 5.5 from the direct link it eventually slows down and stops.  How am I supposed to download the file?

    I am trying to download CS 5.5 on to my new laptop since my old one died.  I am using the direct link found Download CS5.5 products.  It starts off fine but it slows down and eventually stops.  How am I supposed to download the entire file?  I am using Chrome on Windows 8.1 if it makes any difference.

    Adding to What Anand has mentioned, please make sure that any online active Defence system should be turned off ( For eg, Kaspersky, Norton or AVG ). Also, if you are behind a corporate network, please try a different network and check again.

    During downloading the new version, it stops with a "waiting" status when Internet's cut happened. Since, impossible to restart or to download again. Help !

    I have had a similar problem with my system. I just recently (within a week of this post) built a brand new desktop. I installed Windows 7 64-bit Home and had a clean install, no problems. Using IE downloaded an anti-virus program, and then, because it was the latest version, downloaded and installed Firefox 4.0. As I began to search the internet for other programs to install after about maybe 10-15 minutes my computer crashes. Blank screen (yet monitor was still receiving a signal from computer) and completely frozen (couldn't even change the caps and num lock on keyboard). I thought I perhaps forgot to reboot after an update so I did a manual reboot and it started up fine.
    When ever I got on the internet (still using firefox) it would crash after anywhere between 5-15 minutes. Since I've had good experience with FF in the past I thought it must be either the drivers or a hardware problem. So in-between crashes I updated all the drivers. Still had the same problem. Took the computer to a friend who knows more about computers than I do, made sure all the drivers were updated, same problem. We thought that it might be a hardware problem (bad video card, chipset, overheating issues, etc.), but after my friend played around with my computer for a day he found that when he didn't start FF at all it worked fine, even after watching a movie, or going through a playlist on Youtube.
    At the time of this posting I'm going to try to uninstall FF 4.0 and download and install FF 3.6.16 which is currently on my laptop and works like a dream. Hopefully that will do the trick, because I love using FF and would hate to have to switch to another browser. Hopefully Mozilla will work out the kinks with FF 4 so I can continue to use it.
    I apologize for the lengthy post. Any feedback would be appreciated, but is not necessary. I will try and post back after I try FF 3.16.6.
