Files download 90% and then give error message

When I download a large file (e.g., video, app) with Firefox 4, the download moves along fine and, when it's almost complete, the download stops and says the source can no longer be found.
I never had this problem with Firefox 3. Sadly, I now have to use IE when I want to download a file. I don't use IE for anything else and I'd prefer to download files from within Firefox again.

Try running Firefox in [[Safe Mode]]. If it functions properly in that configuration, then one of your add-ons is the culprit.

    Trying to download Itunes and am getting error messages 7 and R6034?

    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
    Please note:
    Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

  • I just downloaded itunes and get an error message (-3212) when I try to connect to the store.  I have an hp pavillion using Windows 8.1

    i just downloaded iTunes for my Windows 8 laptop and get an error message when i try to connect to the iTunes store (-3212)

    Hello Steve,
    Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with the iTunes Store.  I recommend the following steps for error (-3212):
    "Error 3000" through "3999"
    Alerts with codes in the 3000 range generally mean that iTunes cannot contact the gs.apple.com server on ports 80 or 443. This may be because out-of-date or incorrectly configured security or firewall software is interfering, or due to your Internet proxy settings. If you are using a proxy, try removing the proxy settings, or using a known-good network. If that does not resolve the issue, follow iTunes for Windows: Troubleshooting security software issues.

  • As of yesterday, I can't print with Firefox - when I enter "Print" it gives me a box for downloading files and then an error message.

    This happens either when I attempt to print a complete page or a selection. Print Preview will show what I want to print, but then gives me the same error message. But when I print from an application such as Microsoft Word or Adobe Reader everything works fine.

    Hi,
    As far as I understand, its very unlikely that print of Elements gets impacted by AIR update because AIR update has no relation to print functionality. Its mainly used by Inspirational browser of Photoshop Elements.
    If this is the case, solution should be simple. Uninstall AIR and PSE ... and then install PSE from your CD again... Remember to deactivate the serial before uninstalling....

  • Itunes fails to recognize my phone and wants me to load as 'new phone' each time I hook up. I have disabled firewalls and it will recognize one out of five times. It also attempts to sync but just runs forever,  then gives error message 0xE8004006

    Itunes does not recognize Iphone. It asks me to restore or add as new phone each time I sign on. It then attempts to sync, just runs forever. After five tries, it allowed me to upgrade OS, but still refused to complete a sync. I have disabled firewalls. Error message 0xE8004006

  • "file in use" and other "unexpected" error messages

    I may have found a bug in Tiger, and in case nobody has a plausible explanation for the problem, I will send a bug report:
    I copied a locked file (shows a little lock symbol in its icon) from one Mac to the other via a network share (using Finder). I then tried to open that file on the other Mac, but failed with the error message "file in use". But the computer the file had been copied from had already disconnected and shut down, and the Mac I had copied the file to had booted once.
    I then looked at the file security settings, but found nothing abnormal. But I was not allowed to change any of the security settings (owner and permissions).
    I then tried the Terminal and tried commands like "sudo chmod" or "sudo chown", and got nothing but error messages.
    What kind of operating system does not allow the supervisor ("root") to change file permissions?!?
    I then tried to repair the volume, but DiskUtility thinks all is OK. Fine. And the file is obviously NOT in use (otherwise the volume could not have been unmounted).
    I finally tried the tool SetFileInfo from the development system to change permissions and type/creator. "sudo SetFileInfo -whatever" gives "unexpected error". Aha, "unexpected". So there is something wrong in Denmark. Or California.
    At least there is one hint what's going wrong: GetFileInfo shows an abnormal type/creation combination, something like "brok" and "macs".
    The only thing I finally managed to do with the file was "sudo rm". I got some warning about unknown user and unknown group and override whatever, then the file was deleted. At least I think so. After removing the "locked" flag the copy process went fine, and the copy of the file could be opened on the other Mac, so it seems that there is a problem with copying "locked" files.

    Thank you for that hint! It does not fix the bug, but opens a way to a workaround.
    I repeated the test, i.e. copied a locked file, and indeed the copy is protected with a "uchg" flag.
    Removing the "uchg" flag still left the file locked, i.e. no other attribute (owner/group/rwx) could be changed. But the SetFile command now was able to remove the creator ('MACS') and type ('brok') settings.
    After that the "second lock" had been removed, and now the "locked" attribute could be removed, and after having removed this third lock the file was accessible.
    So I think that was enough of (unpaid) investigation, and I am going to send a bug report to Apple.

  • 8620 prints, but then gives error message on Surface Pro 3

    This error message has been bothering me for some time. From day one when I print from my Surface Pro 3, I get an error message that my document (doesn't matter what it is) did not print. About 95% of the time, it actually DID print but I get the error message. So whenever I print, I don't actually know if the error message is bogus or not.  I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling all of the drivers and apps on my surface, but to no avail. Can anyone help me keep my sanity? Here is an example of the error message from just a little bit ago. Notice the error message in the upper right hand corner. And this "test print" did actually print.

  • Attempting to use "backup and Restore" giver error message

    In November 2014 I backed up my PC ( see below ) onto  a 2TB ecternal drive ( Lacie).  This ok and can restore.  Spare space 1.2TB
    Now when I attempt to Backup again, using Windows Backup and restore, with same settings  I get an error message :
    "The requested operation cannot be performed on a file with a user-mapped section open"  This appears after some time of activity. There is no mention of WHICH file causes the problem.  I have repeated with different settings ie with
    part backups only, or just one drive only.
    The PC runs Windows 7 ( 64 bit) there is an SSD c: drive and a d: drive mostly data with some programs installed here.
    I would very much appreciate some advice.

    Hi and thank you Mandy.
    After many failed attempts - even backing up a few files to test - I was getting nowwhere.  Eventually I succeeded after disabling start menus and uninstalling some programs.  I also disabled my Kaspersky anti-virus completely and disconnected
    the internet!!  This time the backup and system image appeared to be OK .
    You have helped, Mandy, by identifying the anti-virus as a possible culprit!!  Thank you.  Next time I backup I will just
    temporally disable it and see what happens.
    Kind regards

  • Being asked to Authorize computer, and then get Error Message

    Hi, I went to sync my ipod this morning and I got a message to authorize the computer. I haven't done any upgrades since the last time I did a sync, but I thought maybe there was a burp somewhere so I clicked authorize. I then recieved a message "We could not complete your iTunes Store request. An unknown error occurred (-42408). Try again later."
    So I did, I tried it tonight (about 9 hours later) and got the same message. I logged into my account in iTunes and that worked, so I know I have the right password. I checked and I only have 3 computers authorized to play music, so even if I did add this one on top of that I should be fine. And there didn't seem to be any issues with purchasing things from the store.
    Any ideas?

    Hello mickeygee,
    I don't have any direct answers for you, but check out this recent thread regarding this issue for users to have recently updated to iTunes 9.03. There a number of posted potential solutions. Check it out. Hope it helps.

  • When syncing my iPod photo it transfers 2 songs then gives error message ' cannot read/write disk' what wrong?

    Can someone tell me whats going wrong when I manually sync my iPod with computer only 2 songs transfer to my iPod then I get error message ' unable to read/write disk ' the 2 songs are transferred to iPod and I have to keep starting the process over again, what can I do?

    First, try shutting down (powering off) your computer and resetting the iPod
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1320
    Start up the computer, and connect the iPod to a direct USB port on the computer, if you have been using a USB hub.  If there are other USB devices (other than standard keyboard/mouse) connected, you may want to disconnect them, as a test.
    If that does not help, or you already did that, it is possible that the iPod's hard drive has become faulty.  It is also possible that the hard drive is OK, but there is data corruption that is making the iPod's storage unreliable.
    If the problem is not resolved, you should probably do a Restore on the iPod in iTunes.  The Restore button is on the iPod's Summary screen in iTunes.  This will erase the iPod, reinstall its software, and set it to default settings.  If the cause is data corruption, the Restore (erasing the storage) should fix the problem.  However, if the cause is a hardware fault on the hard drive, it will not help; the Restore may not complete successfully, which will leave your iPod inoperable.

    a -48 error is a duplicate filename.

  • I am trying to save a file in Acrobat and get an error message...

    I am trying to save my Turbotax file in pdf form but every time I try, I get the following message: " An error occurred in the processing of your tax return in PDF format.  Error: 4"  Does anyone have any idea what is going on?  I downloaded the most current form of Acrobat today.  Thank you-Gail

    That doesn't sound like an Acrobat error at all.

    But are you using Acrobat to create the PDF (and are you sure it isn't Reader that you downloaded?)
    If you are literally using the "save" function from Turbotax, chances are it isn't using Acrobat at all but it's own PDF generator. You would want to talk to the Turbotax folks.
    If this is not the case, maybe you can give us some more specifics on exactly what steps you are taking to create the PDF.
