HT3606 it starts the download but it never finishes , what do i do?

I have a power mac g5 is a old one it runs on Vs10.5 is Mac OSx
i try'd updating it and it start too update but it takes alot of time and it never finishes

I advise:
Backup Home folder and any other important items to another hard disk or a DVD
Repair as fully as practical with Disk Utility or better still use AppleJack as per instructions below.
Download and install the combo update from: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL866
General instructions for using AppleJack on a faulty Mac. It may be reasonable to omit item 1 if a backup has recently been done or the Mac has no serious symptoms.
Backup Home folder and perhaps whole disk to an external disk or DVD with eg Carbon Copy Cloner
Install the free AppleJack
Reboot holding cmd s until you see text
Wait until text stops
Type: applejack AUTO shutdown
Hit return key
Don't touch but prepare for a long wait - may take hours the first time
You can probably ignore the many error messages
Reboot after it has shutdown
First boot will take longer than usual as it rebuilds caches

I received a pop-up advising me that update OSX 10.8.3 was available. I started the download, but it was fouled by something; it did not download/install. Now I ask for software updates and they tell me "no software updates available." Help.

I received a pop-up telling me that OSX 10.8.3 was available. I started the download/ installation, but something interrupted the process and it was not downloaded and/or installed. Now when I ask for software updates, I det the message that "no updates available." What do I do to get thei update?

If the installation didn't finish, maybe OS X 10.8.3 was installed partially, and it doesn't show up because the updater already updated the OS X version to 10.8.3, although it doesn't mean that everything was installed and updated. Just to make sure that everything is updated to the version included in 10.8.3, reinstall it with the Combo installer > http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1640

When I try to back up my iCloud device it will start the process but will not finish the backup

When trying to backup my iCloud on iPad it will start the process but moments later it stops and is unable to finish

This may be caused by a corrupt existing backup that needs to be deleted, or by data on your device that is causing the backup to fail. To troubleshoot these, try deleting your last iCloud backup (if you have one) by turning off iCloud Backup in Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup, then tap Manage Storage, swipe across your backup and tap Delete, then go back and turn iCloud Backup back on and try backing up again.
If it still won't back up, you may have an app or something in your camera roll that is causing the backup to fail. To locate which one, go to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>Manage Storage, tap the name of your device under Backups, under Backup Options tap Show All Apps, then turn them all to Off (including camera roll) and try backing up again. If the backup is successful, then the camera roll and/or one of your apps is causing the backup to fail and you'll have to located by process of elimination. Turn the camera roll On and try backing up again. If it succeeds, turn some of your apps to On and try backing up again. If it succeeds again, turn some more apps to On then try again; repeat this process until it fails. Eventually you'll be able to locate the problem app and exclude it from your backup.

I purchased the newest software update for my ipod touch 1st generation and it is saying it is it will now begin download but the status bar doesn't even appear? How can I start the download?

Well first off you shouldn't have had to pay for a download (just an assumption from the word "purchased".
If you are trying to install iOS 5 on your iPod touch, it won't work they arent compatible. I suggest checking what version of software you are trying to install and posting it in this forum so people can have a better understanding.

I have just upgraded to 10.6.7, and was browing the App. Store, I selected a product and it started to download, I cancelled the download, but it still registers in my purchases list, have I purchased that appl. and how can I cancel the purchase?

I have just upgraded to 10.6.7, and was browing the App. Store, I selected a product by mistake and it started to download, I cancelled the download, but it still registers in my purchases list, have I purchased that appl.? and how can I cancel the purchase in my purchases list?

I think that as soon as you click "Buy" and type in your details, the iTunes server is alerted that you have bought the item, even if it hasn't downloaded. Your "purchased" list is based on your account and not your computer so I'm afraid even if you haven't completed the download, you will be charged for it (but if you do now download it, you won't be charged again). This also means that you can't remove items from the purchased list.
Glad to be of help (I hope),

HT204370 I purchased a movie yesterday and started the download. The download seemed to hang up at about 90%. Finally, it showed that it was ready to watch, but the movie will not play. Download is apparently corrupt. How do I get a working version?

Depending upon what country that you are in (films can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then try deleting the film from your iPad and redownload it via the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app (or the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes).
If you aren't in a country where you can re-download films, or if you have problems with the re-downloaded version, then try the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via the Store > View Account menu option and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find that film and use the 'Report a Problem' link and fill in details about the problem (iTunes support should reply within, I think, about 24 hours).
If the 'report a problem' link doesn't work (it's been taking some people to this site on a browser instead of showing a form in iTunes) then you can try contacting iTunes support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page.

Disable the computer's security software during the download and update.

How can I cancel "The Garage Band content is now downloading" once it starts? I thought it would show the size of the download, but it just assumes I have unlimited bandwidth, instead of mobile data rates which are super expensive.

How can I cancel "The Garage Band content is now downloading" once it starts? I thought it would show the size of the download, but it just assumes I have unlimited bandwidth, instead of mobile data rates which are super expensive.
Once it started, it just shows it's progress and there's no option I can find to stop the download.
Any help greatly appreciated.

Hi,
I am not sure whether it works, Try "Restore Sound Library" in Menu.

Hi K,
The fact that cleaning worked once still suggests a dirty lens. Try this alternate cleaning method: Use a credit card, or something similar, and wrap it with an LCD cleaning cloth type product (basically a thin micro-fiber type cloth). Gently slide the "cleaner" in and out a few times in the left side of the optical drive opening. Make sure you can hold onto the cloth so it doesn't get stuck inside the drive. This cleans the lens, which may be all you need.

HT4009 My daughter downloaded zombie farm and purchased 100 brains - I was billed for the purchase but she never recieved the brains. Three days later I was billed for another purchase of brains that she did not order or recieve - how do I get my account

My daughter downloaded zombie farm and tried to purchase 100 brains - I was billed for the purchase but she never recieved the brains - three days later I was billed for a purchase of 100 brains again even thought no one made the purchase - how do I get a refund?

If you did not receive the "merchandise" then a refund is due. Just click through the support link provided above, fill out the form at the end, clearly state the facts and state them again via reply email.
Also prepare to send copies of the billings and provide the user name associated with Zombie Farm and Game Center (if applicable).
All should work out, but if satisfaction is not received, file a claim with your credit card issuer.
