How do i update files!?!?

hi im downloading a gigantic movie my friend has made with my slow DSL internet, its about 80 percent done which means theres at least an hour and a half of video.
however...
when i click on the video on the desktop it only plays about the first 10 seconds of video.
is there anyway to update the file on my desktop (it is a quicktime avi file) so that i can watch what i have downloaded
this would be extremely helpful and any help would be greatly appreciated

Most likely it is being updated. Select the file in Finder and then use File > Get Info, and check the size.
Some media players die without comment when they hit a file element they don't recognize. You might want to try playing the file with a variety of players, to see if some of them get farther.

  • How do I update files from iMac to Macbook

    Having updated a Numbers file on iMac, opened iCloud on iMac,uploaded file & downloaded (updated iPhone & iPad but not Macbook).

  • ITunes 10.5 won't update files properly on my iPod Touch 4G running iOS 5, how can I fix this?

    I recently updated iTunes to 10.5 and my iPod Touch 4G to iOS 5, but now when I try to edit the ID3 tags or artwork of songs on my
    iPod using iTunes, iTunes just says "Preparing to update files" but it never actually updates them. When I try to add songs
    manually to iPod (my iPod is not set up to sync music with iTunes [see note below]), the same thing happens, with the newly added
    songs appearing on the iPod library but are grayed out with a still loading icon next to them. Also, in some instances when I try
    to change the artwork of all the songs on an album, it grays out the songs I tried to change, puts an exclamation mark by them,
    and applies those changes to other songs on my iPod! And if I delete the songs I attempted to change it deletes the songs that
    were received the artwork change. The songs that were unintentionally changed somehow got overwritten by the songs I was trying to
    change while retaining the original tags of the songs that were changed. Not sure if I'm explaining this clearly so let me give an
    example: song A is a song on an album on my iPod, song B is on song on a completely different album on the iPod. When I change the
    artwork on song A, it somehow messes up my library and song A overwrites song B, but it keeps all of song B's ID3 tags. So I don't
    know song B is song A until I play song B, at which point the ID3 tags are changed to the tags of the song A, and song B is just
    disappears. This only started happening after updating to iTunes 10.5 and iOS 5. Not sure if the problem is caused by iTunes 10.5
    or iOS 5, but I did search online and found someone with the exact same problem effecting their iTunes 9.1 (no iPod involved). 
    Can someone please tell me why this is happening and how I can fix it?
    Note:
    I add songs manually to iPod because I don't keep my music on my PC and sync my music with iTunes because it would take up too
    much space and I want to be able to add songs on my iPod from other computers. Once you set it up to sync music I believe it
    disables making any changes to your iPod with iTunes on other computers.

    okay, I don't know about the rest, but about the songs never actually loading onto your iPod, I found in another discussion how to fix that. I'm using Windows 7, so I don't know if the steps are the same, but the end result is the same. So go into your Start menu, then into accessories, right click 'Command Prompt' and click 'Run as administrator'. Then type in the following: netsh winsock reset then press Enter. After a few seconds it should tell you to to restart your computer for changes to take effect. Restart your computer, then restart iTunes, then everything should be working fine. It still takes forever sometimes to update the iPod, but eventually it will work. I've had to do this multiple times, so I'd suggest copying & pasting this solution into a notepad or Word document and saving it on your computer, so you don't have to go through the discussions again to find it. This tends to happen to me nearly every day unfortunately Hope this fixes that problem, but I'm not having any of the other problems fortunately, except for removing the artwork of the songs it updates without me asking it too. PS I think my problem may be with iOS 5, because iTunes 10.5 came out before iOS 5, and I think everything was fine before I updated my iPod, but I really don't know where the problem lies

  • How to map XML File input to VO (eventually to update table) upon fileupld

    Reqirement: I am downloading an XML File (basically name-value pair) from user using OAMessageFileUploadBean. I need to take this file and update to an existing record in the table (cs_incidents_all). XML File schema is well-known in advance.
    Approach: Don't know what is the best, but I'm thinking if there is an OAF way to map the XML File (Blobdomain) to VO and get the rowIMPL.getColumn1Value to fetch all the datavalues then loop thru all the columns (xml-tags) and finally call plsql APIs which will update/insert into table (cs_incidents_all)
    Is this possible in OAF? If so please shed some light as to how to map XML File to VO.
    If this is not possible then please let me know the other way. I have to do this inside the oaf.
    Thank you,

    Can someone please let me know if this is possible in OAF?

    Unless until it is a Manual Journal, SLA page doesn't give you the provision to change them.
    Even for Manual Journal, it won't allow you to change, if that is transferred to GL.
    Only option is to UNDO the accounting and correct the setup to create correct journals. You may contact Oracle Support.

    Extract the files into a root directory. There should be only one MSI file.
    Open an administrator privilaged command prompt by typing in the Start menu "Command" and right clicking the "Command Prompt" option and selecting "Run as Administrator"
    Navigate to the directory you extracted the files to using the CD command
    Once in the directory with the MSI file run the following command: msiexec /update patchpackage.msp
    Step through the installer, and everything should be fine, open Dream Weaver and go to Help -> About to verify the patch installed.

  • How to recover lost files in iMac due to software update

    iI accepted an automatic software update in Mac; it restarted my computer and all files created in the last three days disappeared. Any ideas on how to recover those files?
    Thank you!

    If all your files are missing
    You may have logged in as a different user, such as Guest. Open the Users & Groups pane in System Preferences. Your name should be at the top of the user list, under Current User. See also this support article.
    If files are missing from one folder
    Change the Finder view mode; for example, from icon view to list view, or vice versa.
    If files are present, but seem outdated
    You may have started up from a different volume (disk.) Open the Startup Disk preference pane and check the selection.
