Having problems downloading software

Hello all, I'm having issues downloading things from the internet. I'm up to date on the software for my MacBook Pro. When I try to download something it goes to a white web page and the status bar only fills up half way. Have I picked up some malware or something? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. THX

+The status bar at the top of the Safari browser fills up like it should+
No, if a download is happening there should be another smaller 'Download' window showing progress.
Try this approach and see what it does, rather than just clicking on a download link control-click on it and a pop up menu should appear, select Download linked file as then give it a name and set the location as your Desktop ...

HT201210 Having trouble restoring my ipod touch 4 gen. When i click restore i get an error message saying that " problem downloading software for the "ipod owner's ipod"

When i try to restore my ipod i recieve an error message saying that "problem downloading softwar for the ipod owner's ipod. error (-23) Please help i need to restore because my daughter somehow set a passcode lock on it and didnt know it and does not know passcode.

There was a problem downloading the software for the iPhone (or another iOS device)
See the steps below for error codes 3000-3999.
Errors 3000-3999 (3004, 3013, 3014, 3018, 3164, 3194, and so on): Error codes in the 3000 range generally mean that iTunes cannot contact the update server (gs.apple.com) on ports 80 or 443.
Update to the latest version of iTunes.
Verify the computer's date and time are accurate.
Check that your security or firewall software is not interfering with ports 80 or 443, or with the server gs.apple.com.
Follow Troubleshooting security software. Often, uninstalling third-party security software will resolve these errors.
An entry in your hosts file may be redirecting requests to gs.apple.com (see "Unable to contact the iOS software update server gs.apple.com" above).
Internet proxy settings can cause this issue. If you are using a proxy, try without using one.
Test restoring while connected to a known-good network.

TS3212 Having problems downloading. OS is LINEX and I'm not sure how to load itunes with it.

Having problems downloading. OS is LINEX and I'm not sure how to load itunes with it.

Agreed. No native linux support. The only ways you could run iTunes with a primary linux system would be to a) dual boot, b) virtualize Windows with VirtualBox, VMware, etc., or c) attempt to run iTunes in Wine (which doesn't usually work very well). Dual boot would give you the benefit of complete support and usage of hardware and software, but virtualizing is a bit more convenient, since you would not have to reboot your linux host.

Hi ...
If you have anti virus software installed, you need to disable that in order to download apps.
Apple's policy clearly states that, "all sales are final" > iTUNES STORE - MAC APP STORE - TERMS AND CONDITIONS

I am having problems downloading Flash Player on a Mac

I am having problems downloading / updating Flash Player on a Mac. Installer runs to 30 and freezes.

Hi, First since you have the 64bit Windows, you need to use the 32bit browser as Adobe does not support Flash Player
for the 64bit.
Are you using any other browser? Here are the instructions for Internet Explorer.
Download the Adobe Uninstaller to your Desktop: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html
Download the Installer and SAVE it to your Desktop:
http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_ax.exe
Before you start you need to read over the Uninstall info and follow the Security settings, making sure no applications
are running that uses Flash. Anti-Virus/Spyware and Firewalls can interfere and so I would follow these steps after you
know how to disable these. Also you may benefit by reading this also:
http://go.adobe.com/kb/ts_tn_19166_en-us You don't need to follow all of these, just be aware of what my apply to you.
1. After the Uninstaller and Installer are on your Desktop, then disconnect from the Internet.
2. Disable your Anti-Virus/Spyware and Firewall programs. (If you are using just the Windows Firewall, that is ok)
3. Make sure all apps that use Flash are disabled and check the system tray for that also.
4. Close All browsers and RUN the Uninstaller. When finished, Reboot(restart) your computer. When fully Rebooted, Reboot again( to clear out old files) When fully Rebooted,
5. RUN the Installer and when finished, Reboot ONCE.
6. Re enable your Anti-Virus/Spyware and Firewall and connect back to the Internet.
Go to this test site: http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
If you have any questions after reading or before you start, please ask.
Thanks,
eidnolb

This is a common issue and a solution could have been quickly found by doing a search.
Disable any Anti-Virus and Firewall software on the computer, then run the update.

Hi I am having problems downloading and updating apps on my iPad and iPhone. The message cycles between waiting and loading then I get an error message saying unable to download app. Eventually,after many attempts it works.

Hi Guys - for a few days I have been having problems downloading and updating apps on my iPad and iPhone. The message cycles between waiting and downloading then eventually says unable to download app. Sometimes after many attempts it wil eventually work. I tested it on an old iPhone 3G and got the same problem so it is not an iOS 5 issue. My WI-FI connection is working fine. I was wondering if this is an App Store problem? Anyone else in the UK having this problem?

Hi John
iTunes Support wasn't of any use to me.
I have also been having another problem - with BBC iPlayer and other video streaming not working due to insufficient bandwidth, despite my overall download speed being consistently around 50Gb. This is also affecting AppleTV downloads
I am using Virgin Media as my ISP, and was wondering whether you do as well. This might be the common thread.
