Is my laptop stopping OS 4 from downloading?

I'm getting a 'connection reset' error after around 30mb has downloaded. The update is extremely slow and says it will take six hours. I have rebooted my router, tried with a LAN cable, rebooted my machine several times and no luck at all. Everyone else I know updated in less than an hour.
I checked on here and found others having the same issue: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2469815&tstart=15. And everyone on there has a Toshiba machine and is also running Windows 7.
I am running W7 64-bit. Is there any way the brand of my machine (unlikely) or my OS is preventing this from downloading? If so, how on earth am I supposed to download the update? I had assumed this was due to high demand but I don't know any of my friends having the same issue and it seems to be rare on here too with the majority of issues being after installation.
My other downloads have been fine - downloaded songs and apps and surfed happily around the net all night. My download speed is fine - no lower than usual - and I haven't got any other problems at all.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I have also tried disabling my firewall but to no effect.

    How do I stop a book from downloading in iBooks   It has been downloading for 2 days

    Perform a "hard reset" on the device by pressing down and holding the home button and the sleep/wake button for up to 30secs. until you see a black screen with the Apple logo, then release.
    Then test to see if it solved the problem.

    click "forwarding and POP/IMAP"
    under POP download click "enable POP for mail that arrives from now on"

    now only new emails should show up on your phone, all your past emails will be saved at the server.

  • HT1725 how do i stop an item from downloading?

    how do i stop an item from downloading?
    the item has already downloaded but a 'ghost' download keeps trying but fails to download.
    annoying!

    Hello Hockeygurl12
    If you are having an issue with your purchase, you should be able to go to the iTunes Store app, tap on More and then Downloads. Then you should be able to swipe from right to left to delete it. Then you can try to download it again from the Music app. If you are still unable to download your track, the report the issue to the iTunes Store.

  • Fresh download setup-cannot stop t'bird from downloading ALL email for months where t'bird uninstalled -- using my webmail online

    I had to reinstall W7 in June 2014. When I did, I didn't download T'bird again--waiting for issues not related to T'bird to get fixed. I just used the web email since I was mostly getting news letter, etc.. Now I need it to write personal email. OK, I downloaded T'Bird today and , well it configures automatically actually, BUT I cannot stop it from downloading mail between June and present. . (that have already read on web mail).
    HOW can I get it to stop downloading 245 old emails? I do know I can get a completely new email as was shown at first email. but I didn't know anything about that and needed to get going writing personal emails?? Help!
    I am Windows7 O/S

    Hi Margaret Anne,
    It is because it was a clean install for T'bird these emails are all new.
    When you start using your old profile T'bird wil only get the new emails.
    Your old profile should still be there and you can view the folder if you make invisible folders visible.
    Would you like me to help you?
    Send me a private message if you do.

    How do I stop a movie from downloading

    Let it download and then delete it.
    You cannot stop it otherwise.
    You can try contacting itunes support and see if they will remove it.

  • Stop Premiere Elements from downloading

    I use a cellular Internet connection and pay per MB
    Every time I open Premiere Elements it uses 25 MB
    Updating is disabled but it has not stopped Premiere Elements
    This does not happen with Photoshop Elements
    This does not happen with any other application
    All application Updating is disabled
    I do Manual Updates for everything
    I have a Wireless Watcher that shows every byte used
    I have tested this with every application
    This only happens with Premiere Elements
    Just to be sure I disabled all Adobe applications
    It does not download anything, Just uses up 25 MB each time
    How can I stop Premiere Elements from using up my MB

    Thanks for the reply:
    In Preferences you can choose to not be notified about updates.
    However there is no option not to check for updates.
    So that is what is happening, it is always checking for updates.
    There should be a option to disable checking for updates.
    I disabled updates in Adobe Reader X and Flash Player and
    it does not check for updates for those.
    I check manually for updates because of my connection but
    mainly because when there is a update available I will go to the source
    and download the update and install it myself which is the better way.
    I will look for a way to disable the automatic checking for updates by
    Premiere Elements and if not found I will contact Adobe as you suggested.

  • How do I stop a video from downloading on my IPad?

  • How do i stop my iphone from downloading music from the icloud when its on shuffle

    Due to the limited space on my iphone, i only keep certain songs on it at one time. But when i play all music on shuffle, My iPhone is downloading songs from itunes match that i dont want. I only want the phone to shuffle through the songs already on my phone. When im out on 3G, it doesn't do it as i have music over 3G disabled in the settings, but at home on wifi, there doesn't seem to be a way to stop this happening. The other issue this causes, is that those songs then dont want to be deleted because they are not fully downloaded. Its a pain

    In Settings > Music set "show all music" to OFF (not green).

  • How do I stop my iPad from downloading songs from iTunes match?

    I wanted to download some songs onto my iPad from my iTunes Match library as I was going to be out for a few days. Three songs in, my router crashed through no fault of my own(someone was messing with the cable company connections without knowing what they were doing, apparently), and now I have 513 songs (most of which I did not choose to download but instead they got mistakenly added to a much smaller playlist...) downloading. I cannot feasibly go through my iTunes Match library and stop download of all 513 songs individually, and for some reason they are not downloading and not stalling out, probably because there are so many of them and my router is back online and so it is trying to download all at once and so slowing down to a standstill???
    How do I stop download of all those songs without hard-restarting my iPad?

    The iPad will use whatever the best service that is available - if you are in an area where 3G coverage is patchy (which may be due to reception or the network bandwidth being used up) then it will step down to Edge, and then possibly down to GPRS.

  • How to Stop Flash Video from Downloading

    Greetings,
    Can anyone tell me how to configure Flash video from
    automatically beginning the download process as soon as the page
    loads? I've set autoPlay to false, so it does stop on the first
    frame. But I can still see the download progress bar when it should
    wait for a click.
    Thanks

    Is this one of those questions you guys get tired of
    answering? ;-)
    I've reviewed the answers for similar questions, but found
    none that fully addressed my issue. If you could refer me to a
    post, or an Adobe tutorial that deals with this head on, I would
    really appreciate it.
    Thanks.

  • How do I stop my phone from downloading every email when updating software?

    Everytime I update, or have to restore my phone it decides to download all emails that I have deleted previously. How do I stop this from happening?

    If you network operator supports it, I suggest that you try to enable the automatic time update function in the phone.
    Menu > Organizer > Clock > Options > Settings > Automatic time update.
    See if that might solve the problem.
    If you still are having problems with this or if this is not supported by your network operator I think this will have to be checked at a repair center.
    In that case contact your local support team for more info.

  • How can I stop my iPhone from downloading iOS 7?

    I am currently trying to download iOS 7 to my iPhone OTA. However, it seems to be stuck but rather than showing up that an error has occurred, it keeps trying to download. I would like it to stop trying but nothing works. I have tried switching it off and on again and hard reset but when I go back it keeps starting the download again. I'm aware that there are server issues so it may take a while but I would rather try getting it on my computer.
    If anyone can help me

    That seems a really obvious answer but I didn't think of it.
    Thanks!

  • Can I stop Update Rollups from downloading to WSUS?

    Previous we had Update Rollups configured and now we'd like them gone. Originally the goal was to stop Silverlight but now we want all the Update Rollups to not be present in the WSUS server.
    Here is what I tried based on results O found here via Google: I disabled the classification, ran the cleanup wizard, stopped Update Service, did a deletion of the WSUScontent contents, started the Update service, then did a wsusutil reset. The WSUSContent
    folder was rebuilt over the weekend and now when I add the view for Update Rollups they are back again.
    What did I do wrong?
    Please let me know. 
    Thank you!

    It sounds like you are saying once a product classification is synchronized, it is stuck in the WSUS database, and there is no option to prevent that classification from synchronizing in the future.
    Is that accurate?
    No, it's not accurate, and it's not what I said.
    Once an update has been synchronized, it is synchronized. Synchronization is the act of getting NEW
    updates from Microsoft. Your choices in Products and Classifications determines which
    NEW updates you get from Microsoft.
    So.. if you don't want to get any more NEW Update Rollups, you uncheck "Update Rollups" and you will get no more NEW Update Rollups. But the ones you already have aren't going anywhere.
    If you don't want to get anymore NEW Windows Vista updates, then you uncheck "Windows Vista" and you will get no more NEW Windows Vista updates. But the ones you already have aren't going anywhere.

  • Any way to stop Update Retriever from downloading Microsoft Updates?

    We have roughly 20 different lenovo laptop types in our organization.  We would like to have update retriever download all updates for both windows xp and 7 for each laptop into the repository, except windows updates.  Since we use WSUS, we do not need windows updates downloaded again. 
     It would be very time consuming to manually select only certain updates for each Machine Type when we want everything except windows updates.
    Thank you.

    I don't think it retrieves updates for the windows os , just lenovo software,drivers updates
