Boot the computer in Windows Safe Mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test.

    I have restored a backup into a new iPad but it did not downloaded all my photos. There is a message saying " downloading 515 of 1230" but it never finishes downloading. How can I get all my photod downloadeda.

    Sorry this solution is late but I just got off of the phone with Apple support and this worked. 
    Open iTunes
    Connect your iPhone and keep it connected during this entire process.
    In the iTunes menu at the very top (File, Edit, View) choose STORE> Sign in and sign into your iTunes account.
    Once this is complete look at the upper right corner of iTunes and you will see an iPhone and Store button, cick STORE.  Now you will be in the iTunes store where you see the advertisements of the various albums, songs etc.  Look on your upper left of the window for your itunes account name and in the black band next to your iTunes account name, you will see a House icon, then Music, Movies, TV Shows etc.
    Make sure the HOUSE icon is selected.
    Stay on this screen in iTunes and on the lower RIGHT, you will see an area that says- QUICK LINKS.  In that area click - Purchased
    After you do this you will be transported to another area of iTunes.  Here there will be a menu across the top- Music, Movies, TV Shows, Apps, Books are the choices. 
    Choose APPS and you will see the apps that you have purchased.  You will also see the apps that didn't download to your phone. 
    Find the apps that didn't download and click the cloud next to their name.  Doing this will download the chosen apps to the computer you are on. 
    Once you have downloaded the apps in question, in the upper right corner click LIBRARY.
    Now you should see the button that says iPhone because your phone is still plugged in.  Click the iPhone button and then click SYNC on the lower right to sync your iPhone.  
    The apps you downloaded will now be on your phone.
    Sorry for the long instructions but this is what works.

  • When alot of my emails come through to my iPad there is a message "This message is only partially downloaded, there is then a box to touch that says download remaining --kb

    That's normal. The iPad Mail only completely downloads emails which are less than a certain size. Presumably the idea is to conserve network resources.

  • My computer keeps trying to load the latest ugrade/security fix for Firefox, seems to do so but then tries to do so again. I have version 3.6.11

    I can't add too much to the above. I get the message that it is "Downloading the update", tells me to restart Firefox but when it opens it again tries to update but then doesn't get beyond "Connecting to the update server."

    Hi,
    If you have security software (antivirus, firewall etc.) you can try to temporarily disable it for a few minutes, visit a safe site (e.g. https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird), download and check. Please also see [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firewalls#Firewall_pitfalls this].
    If it works you can then try deleting all existing instances of Firefox and its related processes/files in all the different configuration modules/areas of the security software like process monitoring, sub/spawned process control, virtualization, HIPS etc., in addition to the security software's main configuration panel. Instead create new fully allowed/trusted rules for Firefox + its related processes in all the different modules/panels - a genuine/original Firefox installer as well as all the installed EXEs (Application) and DLLs (Application extension) are digitally signed by Mozilla Corporation (right-click > Properties > Digital Signatures). Even otherwise, some security software may also ask again when Firefox and/or its sub processes are started, and you may be able to allow/trust at that time. Please see [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Firewalls this].

  • E-mail seeming to be sent but then vanishing

    Today I sent several e-mails from my Gmail account on my iPhone. They seemed to get sent, but I just discovered that one of them wasn't in my sent mail file - so I checked on the only other one I remembered, and it wasn't there either. I looked in sent mail and also drafts from both my computer and from my iPhone, and I checked the outbox on the iPhone, and the e-mails have vanished completely.
    Has anyone else had this experience? Do you have any idea what would have caused it or how I could prevent it? I have no idea how many e-mails were lost or to whom, so I can't even recreate them or figure out who doesn't have information I thought they had (especially if I replied to a message and then archived it)
    Thanks
    Steph

    To diagnose problems with Thunderbird, try the following:
    *Restart Thunderbird with add-ons disabled (Thunderbird Safe Mode). On the Help menu, click on "Restart with Add-ons Disabled". If Thunderbird works like normal, there is an Add-on or Theme interfering with normal operations. You will need to re-enable add-ons one at a time until you locate the offender.
    *Restart the operating system in '''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Safe_mode safe mode with Networking]'''. This loads only the very basics needed to start your computer while enabling an Internet connection. Click on your operating system for instructions on how to start in safe mode: [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/windows-startup-settings-including-safe-mode Windows 8], [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/start-computer-safe-mode#start-computer-safe-mode=windows-7 Windows 7], [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/start-computer-safe-mode#start-computer-safe-mode=windows-vista Windows Vista], [http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/boot_failsafe.mspx?mfr=true" Windows XP], [http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1564 OSX]
    ; If safe mode for the operating system fixes the issue, there's other software in your computer that's causing problems. Possibilities include but not limited to: AV scanning, virus/malware, background downloads such as program updates.

  • Why are most of the apps (anything that has to search) on my iphone4 and ipad (1) running very slow (or not at all) since iOS5 update...esp google. Search seems to go quickly, but then when I try to open a link..nothing. I have turned off icloud.

    I am having the same problem. Did turning off iCloud work? Did you just turn everything off or did you actually delete the account off your iPod?

    Hey janicem42177174,
    Adobe no longer supports the installation and use of Acrobat 6 as it is a very old version which is not compatible with Windows 7.
    I would suggest you to please use the latest version of Acrobat i.e. 11.0.10 which is fully compatible with your OS with its enhanced features and functions.
    You might download a free 30-day trial version of Acrobat from here:
    Download Adobe Acrobat free trial | Acrobat XI Professional
    Let me know how it goes
    Regards,
    Anubha

    ok.  I hope someone can answer my question.  I am new to photoshop.  I need version cs4 in order to work with a designer and printer on some logo work. I've tried to download it but it just gives me individual files with no installer and nothing - including the adobe "instructions" seems to work.  How can i get this software in a downloadable format? is it actually free - I'm assuming it is...  Hope someone knows the answer to these questions...

    The download itself is free and is valid for 30 days only.  After that, the software ceases to work.
    CS4 is pretty old, no longer sold and no longer supported by Adobe.  It's also not compatible with many modern OSes.
    Why do you have to work with such an obsolete version of Photoshop?
    What kind of "designer" uses it?

  • Trying to download OSX Lion from AppStore on my iMac but it just hangs everytime and does not download

    Trying to download OSX Lion from AppStore on my iMac but it just hangs everytime and does not download

    I downloaded Lion on my 17" Macbook Pro and it took about 17 hours. At first I thought it wan't downloading so I cancelled. The next day I tried again and let it ride for the duration; If the status bar is showing that it is downloading (the bar at the bottom will show some blue after about an hour), then be patient. It will download. The installation takes roughly 30 minutes.

  • When tring to download the download window appears and the bar moves across to complete but then the window closes and nothing is downloaded?

    Your plugins list shows outdated plugin(s) with known security and stability risks.

    It is possible that your anti-virus software is corrupting the downloaded files or otherwise interfering with downloading files by Firefox.<br />
    You can try to disable the real-time (live) scanning of files in your anti-virus software temporarily to see if that makes downloading work.<br />
    Do not forget to re-enable the scanning in your anti-virus software after you are finished with downloading and installing.<br />

  • My iTunes won't update on my computer. I have windows vista. I can open iTunes and when I click "check for updates" it asks if I want to update to iTunes 11.1.5 and I click "Download iTunes" but then nothing happens. What's wrong?

    My iTunes won't update on my computer. I have windows vista. I can open up itunes and when I click on "check for updates" it asks if I want to download iTunes version 11.1.5 and I click "Download iTunes" but then nothing happens. Sometimes uptop the loading bar will appear but for only a split second. I have tried restarting, shutting down, I cannot figure out why it won't download. What's happening and how do I fix it?

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

    My iPhone 4 is using 4.3.3 and I want to update to iSO 6.1.  I can back it up and it starts to download it through iTunes but then I get an error message 0xE8000067.
    Tried all the things on the apple support site (checked USB port, deleted the 3 exe files in Task Manager, tried a new cable).  None worked.  Got the same message on my old computer.
    Any ideas??

    Amazing help from apple support over the phone.  Restoring the computer fixed the problem.

  • HT5655 After clicking Safari prompt box to "Download Flash..." , I'm linked to the Adobe Flash Player Download page. I click the "Download Now". The page advance to next page in the download process but then immediately goes black and nothing happens.

    After clicking Safari prompt box to "Download Flash..." , I'm linked to the Adobe Flash Player Download page. I click the "Download Now". The page advance to next page in the download process but then immediately goes black and nothing happens. System preferences firewall is off and apps are allowed from anywhere and in Safari other plug ins are allowed and cookies are not blocked and pop up windows are not blocked. Why won't Flash Player download?

    Don't DL Flash from web sites. If you have Adobe Flash installed it should be in System Preferences and you can find the latest version and download from there.
    If you are installing for the first time,this is where to DL it.
