Freezing of download bar on large downloads

when downloading zip files on my I mac, OSX 10.6.8 Safari 5.1.5 (6534.55.3) my downloads on large files freezes and keeps adding download time but not advancing the download bar. I have left it on for days and there is no movement in the download bar. Stays at ...for ex. 7.3 MB. Smaller files download ok

Hi BDAqua,
Tried what you suggested and found no excessive CPU and 0 Pageouts. Went into the Open Console and found this recurring message from the time that I was trying my downloads.

Purchases freeze during download

For some reason, my purchases freeze during download. No matter how many times I restart, quit iTunes, etc., the downloads won't restart. The status bar indicates that the purchases are downloading, and the arrow-circle thing is spinning, but no progress is made.
Weirdly, if I go to another computer that is authorized, and sign into iTunes, check for purchases, the purchases download with no problem.

I've had the same problem about 10 different times over the past two months, mainly while downloading TV shows. I contacted Apple the first three or four times, and always got the same response - check for purchases and it should resume downloading. Clearly, this is NOT a fix for this problem and it would be nice if someone would acknowledge the problem and post a solution.
FYI, the movies do get "unstuck" one to three days later, but clearly this is beyond frustrating, especially when you want to watch the next episode of your favorite show.

Ipad2 will freezes when downloading the new ios software update

ipad2 will freezes when downloading the new ios software update. When i hold the Base Button and Sleep button together it just does the same thing. Tried to plug it in directly to my iMAC and it says it can't help me b/c I have a passcode lock. Any solutions?

We don't know, and no one will know until Apple has announced it. Furthermore, speculation is forbidden here.

IPhoto freezes while downloading large cards

My iPhoto 6.04 gets "stuck" when trying to import large numbers of images (like 646 on a 1 GB card). It shows the import window, but the progress bar doesn't show anything, and eventually it freezes and has to be force-quit. When restarted, it will show a partial import.
I can import the images just fine if i use Image Capture to download them elsewhere on the mac, then copy them over to iPhoto. It's just kind of a hassle, and creates duplicates.
Is my problem likely to be with iPhoto, or with the cam, card, or cardreader? Or does iPhoto just tend to choke on large downloads? I have thrown out iPhoto prefs/plist, but i haven't rebuilt the library, which has about 3000 images.

Hi Lisa,
To answer your first question, no iphoto has no known issue with importing large amounts of images at a time. Unless of course you have reached the capactiy for your computer in respect to RAM (iPhoto 6 is memory scalable up to 250,000 images...but it is based on amount of RAM).
If you already pulled the plist for iphoto then I would do the following:
Make sure you are connecting your Media card reader directly to the computer - do not go through a hub.
Remove ~/library/caches and restart computer - test - if issue persists proceed to next step
Reset PRAM by holding down Apple key - option key - P - R during start up of computer - listen for 2 chimes and then release - test - if issue persists proceed to next step
Hold down the option key while opening iphoto - click on create library - attempt to import into the new library - if it works you know that the issue is with your current iphoto library - follow kbase 107947 to rebuild your library - if it does not work then create a new user account and test again - if it still does not work then I would try using a different media card / or a different media card reader.
One common mistake that people make is that they never reformat their media cards between use. Not just erase...but reformat...this is a function of the camera itself, not the comptuer. Consider whether your camera manual has a section on reformating.
Hope that helps.
Cheers!

Freezes while downloading large pdf, otherwise works

I am trying to download ibm manual at
http://publibfp.boulder.ibm.com/epubs/pdf/igypg205.pdf
The document is viewable in the browser, and I can navigate to the last page, but when I try to save it (clicking the diskette icon in the adobe toolbar), a temp is created and shortly thereafter, Firefox freezes in all tabs and becomes unresponsive.

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Third party app freezes while downloading

Tried several times to download The Sims 3 from Origin but it freezes at file 840 of 889. Have trashed it and tried again with same results. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
It sounds as if the app is not 100% compatible with your model BB. Did you ask the maker of the app if they are certified for your BB?

Applet freezes while downloading a ressource jar!

Hi everyone,
I have a fundamental question concerning the loading mechanism of an applets resources.
The problem is as follows:
I have two jars, the first containing all *.class files, the second (size: 10MB) containing only graphics and sounds.
I start the applet with this code:
<APPLET ARCHIVE="init.jar,resources.jar" HEIGHT="100" [...]>Of course the point is to have the small init.jar loaded fast an display a loading animation while the big file is beeing loaded in the background. Up to here everything works as expected. When i start the applet, the init.jar is loaded and displays a loading animation as long as i try to get a resource from the resource.jar.
When I do that, my applet freezes while the big resource.jar file is beeing downloaded.
This is how i access the resource in the resource.jar
public void run() {
     while(/*some condition*/) {
          // this is the line which blocks until whole jar is downloaded
          java.io.InputStream input = this.getClass().getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream(/*resource String*/);
          // use input to load resource
}The freeze happens only upon the first time the while-loop runs, after that the resource.jar is chached and access is almost instant.
Now the concrete problem is, that the applet freezed in all its threads while the jar is beeing downloaded. I NEED to display an idle animation while this is done.
Has anyone any suggestion how i can avoid the complete freeze?
I have already concidered to load the resources without specifing the jar in the HTML-ARCHIVE-Tag, this works becouse of the codebase i can load the ressources from, but the problem is, that these resources have a large overhead from the server to the client until i can use them in the program.
Also it is no option to load them all on startup in another backgound thread (which would slove the freeze problem, i tried it), becouse i have to dynamically load and unload these resources to avoid OutOfMemory-Errors. Reloading them brings the overhead-Problem up again.
Only when i specify the 2nd jar in the ARCHIEVE-Tag i have direct access to the browsers chache without wasting memory when holding references to all resources.
After all every loading and stuff works, there are no errors in the programm only this strange behaviour. I Also tried it with different VMs, on different OS, and different Browser, all the same.
I would be glad if someone could give me a hint on this, i've been searching for days now, even tried to analyse the Classoader sources but ended up in sun's native calls...
Thank you in advance

Sounds like hardware failure, called boot loop. Call Apple and or go on apple.com and make Genius Bar appointment to have your iphone reviewed by a Tech. Provided you iphone shows no physical or liquid damage they will take care of you, or if you have Apple Care Plus

ITunes freezes when downloading video

I have twice purchased TV episodes through iTunes. I was changed each time but no download took place. Each time, iTunes froze as the download was to start and had to be force quit. Selecting "check for purchases" in the advanced menue of iTunes causes the same freeze. I emailed tech support 5 days ago but have not received a reply.

My iTunes freezes lately no matter what kind of content I am downloading after purchase (audio or video). The progress bar starts up, and withing about 2 or 3 seconds, freezes. I've tried trashing my iTunes preferences, and have run the disk utility, but nothing I've done has corrected the problem.
Has anyone come up with a solution?

ITunes Store freeze while downloading and now permanent problems

I bought an album through the iTunes Store today, and while downloading, iTunes completely froze. Not sure how that freeze was caused, could be that I was using up a little too many system resources with other stuff running in the background.
In any case, the album was only partially downloaded, so when I restarted iTunes I used the "search for available downloads" option to succesfully download the rest of the album, or so I thought. Turns out it did download all songss except for one, and that one doesn't show up anymore when I retry the "available downloads" option.
Strangely, whenever I now select one of the other songs from the same album in my library, iTunes completely freezes! I can only get it working again by stopping the process through taskmanager and restarting. This only occurs when the Genius-bar is shown, so it looks like looking up these songs through the iTunes store is causing a problem somehow. Does anyone have any ideas to
a) get the missing song from the store and
b) keep iTunes from crashing??
Is there a way to deinstall and reinstall iTunes without losing my settings, iPhone backups and library? Or can I repair an installed version somehow?
(I have the most recent iTunes version (8.0.1.11), running on WinXP SP3 - oh and it did synch the incomplete album to my iPhone and I can play the songs without problems on that)

Deleting the album, reinstalling iTunes and then re-downloading the album turned out to be the way to fix it.

Why is Reader freezing mid download?

I have been trying to download Adobe Reader and it keeps on freezing at 40%. I will restart my computer and try everything all over again, and once I click install it does the exact same thing. I am using a Mac with OS version 10.10.1. I have tried all of the various ways that the adobe site has you try before you can get help, and they have not worked. What is it that I'm doing wrong. The whole computer doesn't freeze up. The progress bar just stops at 40% every time.

I don't know the "why", but you can try using this tool to first remove all traces of Reader from your computer:

Then, you can download the full offline Reader installer from
