How do I correct the error message "an error occured while downloading....dismiss"

I recently started receiving the error message "an error occurred while downloading" on an intermittent basis when trying to download pictures in some of my Yahoo groups using Yahoo mail. When it occurs the only way to clear the error message is to click on a highlighted "dismiss" [a term I had never seen used before these error messages started] which shows after the error message.
When the error shows for one pic in the posting it will show for all the pics in that post. When the error occurs for an individual pic it will also show up if you try to "download all".
These errors will show up for a posting sent from the same sender via one email group while not for the exact same email sent to another group. It is not restricted to an individual who is posting or a specific Yahoo group and appears to be truly random.
Recently I found an example of the same error message in a posting from a Yahoo group in my Gmail account as well so it is not restricted to Yahoo mail alone.
Has anyone else encountered this problem?....Does anyone know how to fix it?

Hi saxxy60, I have not encountered this error before, but I have when the internet connection is lost in the middle of the download. You can try to disable any antivirus on the computer [http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/ie/forum/ie10-windows_8/an-error-occurred-while-downloading-attachment-in/02b00230-ed67-473c-9ad8-370deac2272e?msgId=0d3d89cf-2722-43f3-b21b-2f3214e2f1d1]
You can try to get more elaborate errors if you try to reproduce the issue with an HTTP traffic capture.

Get error message on my iMac while downloading new IOS5 update

Hi to all
Its very frustrating, since 1 week I'm trying to download the new software update ios5 for my iphone on my IMAC via Itunes.
Always shortly after the download, when the system unpackes the download I get the error message that the software für my Iphone got damaged
during the download (error = 1403)
I also get an error message when I want to download an normal update from apple. For example the new MacOSX Combo Update (see picture below)
= ungültige Prüfsumme
I also tried to do the download via my windows pc and got the same error messages, which shows me that the problem cannot be on the IMAC it must have something to do with my network connection.
Can someone pls help me, I already spent 3 hours with apple care but the only thing they told me is to completely re set up my imac again and hope it works but that does not make sense when I get the same error message on my pc.
I already :
- reinstalled lion completley
- reinstalled Itunes completely
- setup a new administrator
- checked with my internet provider whether I have outages
- downloades other software from different providers -> works fine
- restarted my internet modem and infrastructure several times
Only when I try to download something from the apple server I have this problems
Many thx in advance
Kind regards

It's possible that the hard is starting to fail. Make sure you've got it backed up just in case it stops all together.

I keep getting error message (-50) on iTunes while downloading a movie

Hey guys, while I was trying to redeem three of my digital copies from the Lord of the Rings movies, on iTunes I was able to download two of the movies but one of the movie keeps getting an error message stating "There was a problem downloading. _Movie Title_ There was an unknow error (-50)." Is there a solution this is? or a helpful apple article I can use?

Try deleting the partial cached downloads in the iTunes media folder.
That error is outlined here -> iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting
"Error -50," "-5000," "8003," "8008," or "-42023"
These alerts occur due to timeouts or conflicts trying to write a file during download.

(1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
(2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
(3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
(4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
(5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

Please how do I handle this?
I downloaded a higher version of my Iphone 3 but during the installation it always hangs and show an unknown error message that it cannot be downloaded and the code of the message 1015.

This is usually a result of the iPhone being hacked with the cutsie term for that "jailbroken".
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694#error1015
Error 1015: This error is typically caused by attempts to downgrade the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch's software. This can occur when you attempt to restore using an older .ipsw file. Downgrading to a previous version is not supported. To resolve this issue, attempt to restore with the latest iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch software available from Apple. This error can also occur when an unauthorized modification of the iOS has occurred and you are now trying to restore to an authorized, default state.

How to Convert the Warning Message to Error Message in Standard Transaction

Hi,
I face one problem in Standard Transaction Code CS02. In that by entering the material Number, Plant, bomstatus press enter. it gives a warning message. How to convert the Warning message to Error. In abap how to do that. Please help me.

Mohan,
It appears that there is some configuration you can do for BOM Message types to change the message type. The IMG link for this function is:
Production->Basic Data->Bill of Material->General Data->Change Message Type
However you need to read the IMG documentation to see if this will work for you. There are only certain messages that can be changed with this configuration step.
Also, please do not double post questions in the forums.
Best Regards,
