My downloads keep pausing when my display goes to sleep for a while! How do I stop this?

I use a MBP retina and my computer settings don't allow it go to sleep. Yet, everytime I download something I have to sit with it or else it stop when I go away for five minutes.

Out of curiousity, in your power settings do you have it so that just your hard disk is put to sleep if the computer is idle? I think I had a similar issue a while back on WIndows that was caused by that one setting. I don't use a mac so I am not sure if the same thing applies.

  • I currently have my credit card on my iTunes account and when I have no money in my bank account it won't let me download the free apps even though they don't cost anything. How do I stop this so I can download or remove my credit card?

    All downloads from iTunes are tied to the account that downloaded it, you can't re-download content via a different account. You checked the spam folder on yourr old account as well as the Inbox, and depending upon how long ago you did it, have you retried getting it reset : http://appleid.apple.com, then 'reset your password' ?

  • When I sync my iPad to download new pictures to my library, my existing library gets deleted. How can I stop this from happening?

    When I sync my iPad to download new pictures to my library, my existing library gets deleted. How can I stop this from happening?

    The way I sync mine is to have an 'master' folder on my computer, and underneath it I have separate folders for the photos that I want to sync to the iPad - I then select the master folder in iTunes and the folders underneath it are synced to the iPad, each getting their own album.
    There is some info on syncing folders on this page http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4236

    This post has already been answered. Why are you plugging your own site with an answer that has already been given? Not to mention that the information you are handing out is incorrect. There is no bug, there is no patch, and no one needs to delete any email addresses.

  • IOS 7 Mail keeps crashing when I try to open a new message. How do I stop it from crashing?

    In the last 24 hours after switching to iOS 7, Mail has crashed on me 3 or 4 times when tapping on the mail icon in the tray. How do I stop this from happening. I have an iPad 2 16GB.

    All the suggestions posted were valid ideas, but they didn't help in the end.  I finally had to restore the iPad.  First, I tried clearing up space, and that didn't work, then I deleted all my e-mail acounts and that didn't work.  So, in preparation, I deleted all e-mail accounts, then I turned off photo syncing from iTunes (from my iPhoto account where I had about 10 GB of photos synced), then I backed up this configuration to my iMac via iTunes.  Then I followed procedures in this kb article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137 except I restored from the backup when asked.  I manually re-entered all my e-mail accounts (I have a lot) and Mail was working perfectly now.  Then I re-synced a limited subset of the photos I had synced before, and all is fine.  I think the only problem I really had was a corrupted iOS Mail app, and luckily I was able to solve the issue with a only factory reset and restore from backup!

  • I keep receiving FireFox Plugin update notice everytime I open Firefox, when I update, it does not acknowledge it and keeps loading me the update notice everytime I open Firefox. HOW DO I STOP THIS?

    I'm having no problems with my plugins, I'm having problems with the NOTICE of plugin updates opening before my desired webpage does. How do I stop this?

    If you have problems with updating then best is to download the full version and uninstall the currently installed version.
    You may need to remove the Firefox program folder to do a clean install of the new version.
    Do a clean (re-)install:
    Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
    * Firefox 4.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    * Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
    * Do not remove personal data if you uninstall the current version.
    * It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder] and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

  • My wife and I both have iPhones recently when someone calls her phone mine also rings.  How do I stop this?

    Both my wife and I have IPhones (5C and 4S).  For some reason for the last several months when someone calls one of our phones it rings on both phones.  It seems to have started with the OS updates but that may be a coincidence.  Is there a way to stop this? 

    DrYes wrote:
    So if I turn off IPhone Cellular calls this will eliminate the problem?  As I read it the double ringing only occurs when we are signed in and the phones are close and connected to WIFi.
    Correct, I wouldn't lead you astray with a false response.  It happens because you and your wife are using the same Apple id for facetime - which you shouldn't do, either you or her will need a separate id for facetime.
    This subject has been brought up already, you can use the search function and look for the threads with the green checkmarks.

  • My iPad now rings when I get a call on my iPhone. How do I stop this from happening?

    I updated to IOS 8 and now my iPad rings (wifi iPad air) when I get a phone call on my iPhone 5s.  How do I stop my iPad from receiving telephone calls?

    Hi there martyb33,
    It sounds like you may have iPhone Cellular Calls enabled. Take a look at the article below for more information.
    Connect your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch using Continuity
    Turn off iPhone cellular calls
    To turn off iPhone Cellular Calls on a device, go to Settings > FaceTime and turn off iPhone Cellular Calls.

  • My phone keeps crashing when I try to use the camera or apps. how can I fix this

    Most times when I try to use my camera, post a pic on instagram, or add lives on candy crush my phone just crashes. And by crashes I mean it goes to a black screen then to my home screen. Really frustrating! Any suggestions?

    Since this all happening when using an app, you can try doing a reset.
    Hold down the home/sleep button together until you see the apple logo and then release, then wait for the phone to boot back up.
