One Download At A Time?

Is there anyway to set Safari to download only one file at a time? I click on multiple files when downloading and it downloads them all at the same time which makes thing slower.

When queueing several dl's, how can I get it to dl one item at a time instead of several at once?

My internet connection is fairly slow. When I start more than one download at a time, they appear to stall. When I start one at a time, waiting for the previous to finish, the total time is much less.
How do I stack up several requests at once and have FF process one at a time while I go have tea?

You will have to use an external download manager that add such a feature.

How do i get my ipod touch to download more than one app at a time, can i make it toware i dont have to wait for one app to download before it starts downloading another,

my ipod will only download one app at a time and runs extremely slow. i was wondering if there is some way that i can make it download more than one app at a time and how can i make the app start downloading again after i have left my wi-fi zone and then went back in. im really confused.

Download everything on your computer in iTunes, then sync your iPod to iTunes.
You should be syncing (backing up) to iTunes and your photo app regurally, anyway.

I downloaded a movie to the wrong library by accident. now i can't put the movie on my husband's ipod because it says it can only sync to one library at a time. how do i fix this? i don't want to get rid of the old videos, i just want to add new ones

i really don't know what i did wrong. i logged into itunes using my husband's id, then bought some movies. but for some reason, it downloaded them to my library, not his. now i can't put them on the ipod. is there any way to get them out of my library and into his library? i tried home sharing, but it still won't let me sync them to the ipod

Copy the movie from the current library to the correct library.
iDevices can only sync to one library at a time.

I cannot "download all" from the cloud ... it says that itunes has encountered an error and needs to shut down. I can download one song at a time. It is not being caused by any one song.

I have the latest version of iTunes. When I am in the iTunes store and I click on purchased it will show me a list of all my purchased songs. Some of the older songs are already in my iTunes account. There is a cloud symbol by any songs that have not been download to my account. It always fails if I try to do a "download all" (at the bottom of the page) but I seem to be able to download one song at a time. These are songs that were purchased on my iPhone but I wanted to put them in my iTunes account so that I could put them on my iPod. The problem does not appear to be associated to any one song.

I did think about that and if I have to I will do that, however there are about 50 songs. I have closed and reopened iTunes several times and I am sure that I have the latest version. It fails right away but I can click on the cloud download icon and download the song that it failed on ... therefore it is not that song "or any one song" causing the issue. Any ideas?

How do I download one app at a time in itunes or appstore

Hi there fellow apple lovers, just got my first iphone, you see I have a habbit of downloading from the app store simultaneously, is there anyway I can set my iphone 5s to download one app at a time, well in other words queing them so that if a download finishes, it will automatically download the next app

If the program/window is not a text-based one (such as a word processor), you can usually use the up and down arrow keys to scroll up or down one line at a time.
There are often mods to this behavior, but exactly what depends on the program. Test with the up and down arrow keys in conjunction with the usual modifier keys - Shift, Command, Option, etc.

Mail downloads one email at a time. ???

Just noticed this problem today. My main gmail account (I have 4 gmail and 1 yahoo account) will only download one email at a time. One click of "Get Mail", one email. My other accounts all work properly, leading me to think that it's not a gmail problem, but a setting on my mail gmail account that has gone bad.
Since it's been bad like this a few days now, I could click "Get Mail" fifty times to get my fifty emails, or, hope someone can come up with a better idea.
Thanks in advance!!!

Teri,
Do you ever take your Mac to a better connection, and if so, does this issue occur at that time?
With the connection speed you cite, I think it might be possible for the MessageUidsAlreadyDownloaded3 file to get corrupted, and might be the source of failure to complete download of all new emails each cycle, given the need to administer between messages not yet downloaded, and those that have been.
If you do get to take this Mac to a better connection, then first Move all your Inbox messages to a new On My Mac mailbox, then delete the MessageUidsAlreadyDownloaded3 file and see if all messages on the server will fully download. In doing that, that file will be refreshed by the creation of a new one following the download. You can try the same from your normal connection, but it would be better to do it from a faster connection.

Mail only downloads one mail at a time from Gmail

I have a gmail email account and read it using Apple Mail.
This used to work fine: every time I connected, all my mails were downloaded in one go. Recently, something has changed (all my settings are the same) and now only one mail is downloaded at a time. Since the minimum time setting to 'check new mail' in Apple Mail is once per minute, this means one mail per minute, or clicking manually for an hour in order to download over 60 new emails.
Any ideas how I can download all my mails whenever I access the internet? I have tried on different laptops (Powerbook and MacBookPro) and different versions of Mail and the problem persists. There are no obvious settings in either Gmail or Apple Mail preferences to address this.
Thanks.

During the interval since my first post, I tested a little with my Gmail account, which I do not use extensively. I rapidly sent two messages from other accounts to my Gmail account, and they both showed up at the next automatic checking for new mail. Thus I conclude it should work from the Gmail end of things.
Let me suggest that you quit Mail, open Home/Library/Mail/the Gmail account folder, and find and delete the file named MessageUidsAlreadyDownloaded2, and then relaunch Mail. This is a file in each account folder that with normal POP accounts prevents downloading any message left on a POP server more than once. Since Gmail does not really work like a normal POP in many ways, even though allowing POP access, this file would not normally play a very big role. But in this case it might have some corruption that is impacting this issue. With a normal POP account removing this file would cause any messages left on the server to again download, but with the way Gmail works, this will not happen, but may clear up something.
I tested this before posting this suggestion, and a new MessageUidsAlreadyDownloaded2 file was created as would be expected with any POP account, once any new message was downloaded. Your one minute interval may have not allowed enough time for this file to be updated on some occasion, and may have led to its corruption.
Keep me posted.

ITunes is not downloading more than one Podcast at a time.

Since two updates ago, when I select multiple podcasts and update them to download the latest episodes, iTunes will only download one at a time. It will show multiple in the "Downloads" window, but it will only actually download them one at a time. The "Allow Simultaneous Downloads" box is checked, and I have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes.

Anomander Rake wrote:
If the box is checked, what happens is it will show 3 podcasts have started (by showing the progress bar), however only the first one actually downloads anything. Once it finishes, the second podcast will start actually downloading (and one new one will show that the download progress bar, tho it remains empty until its the "top" podcast. Like it doesnt do anything until everything above it has already finished.
That sounds like a classic case of the Podcast provider limiting the number of simultaneous downloads to one only. As I asked the original poster; are these Podcasts from the same programme, or even from the same radio station network?
Anomander Rake wrote:
And thats annoying enough, but sorta often... if the first podcast takes too long the lower podcasts that have shown the progress bar but not actually started downloading yet will time out and not download until I tell it to try again.
Again, classic symptoms of a Podcast provider limiting the number of simultaneous downnloads. Although this isn't proof, that it's the provider, the question needs to be asked.
I find it extrememly unlikely that cmhogan's suggestion would give you any different results, because the request is simply made in a different way, the queue is the same.

HT201322 Is it possible to buy a TV box set on iTunes but only download one season at a time

I cannot afford to use up all the space it would take to download four seasons of a tv box set. Is there a way I can purchase the box set but only store locally one season at a time?

I misunderstood you. I thought you had a link to a mini-DVI to HDMI cable. That's why I asked for the link.
You can use the adapter you linked to and get a DVI to HDMI cable locally and it will work for you.
Sorry about the confusion on my part.

When listening to songs on my itunes acct (without ipod attached), I can only play one song at a time. It doesn't automatically play next song on list. It happens with all playlists. It only started happening when I downloaded the latest itunes update.

Are all songs checked in your playlist?

When downloading i can only download one link at a time per window. i used to be able to download six links at a time per page. how do i go back to this?

got a new laptop. unsure of firefox verson on old as the computer quit taking a charge.
but essentially on my old laptop if a window had six downloadable links i would be able to download all six at once. now i can only download one link at a time. this is very annoying. i do not believe it is an issue with the new laptop itself as it is a highend toshiba.

After i have downloaded an album from iCloud to my new macbook pro. Itunes will only play one song at a time. If i hit the fast forward or back button will not do anything. I have to use the mouse to hit the next tidal in the album then hit play for it

after i have downloaded an album from iCloud to my new macbook pro. Itunes will only play one song at a time. If i hit the fast forward or back button will not do anything. I have to use the mouse to hit the next tidal in the album then hit play for it to play the next song. Or put it in the UP NEXT.

First, make sure these items have checkmarks next to their names in iTunes. Continuous playback only works on checked items. Itunes will play all checked items in a list whether or not they're from the same album.
If you see that nothing in your library is checked and you want to check everything, hold down Ctrl while checking an item. This checks everything.
Next, fixing the "1 of 1" problem is easily. Select all the tracks that make up the book/album. Let's say there are 15. Press Ctrl-I. Doublecheck that the album box is filled in with the name of the book, and if not, type it there. Enter "15" in the box for the total number of tracks. Click OK. Now all the items should be "1 of 15," "2 of 15," and so on.

I have a file where I store my download music. When I click on "add music" to my ipod my music file opens, but rather than have to drag one song at a time to my ipod, how do I copy the entire file at once to my ipod. - steve

Hi - I have a file where I store my downloaded music. When I plug in my ipod and click on "add music" my file appears. Rather than drag one song at a time, how can I download the entire list at once? - steve

I am not doing it in ITunes, but i did down load the song from ITunes. I loaded the song on to my Nano, but in my menu selections it doesn't show the song or the artist in any search format. However, when i plug in my nano to my PC I see the Nano library on my PC drive listings and that song and artist are there. I can click on the song and it will play in Windows media on my work PC. I did notice that the format for most all the songs in my library on my Nano are MPEG - 4 audio Files.
Thanks for your help, Mel

HT1725 In a download of an entire album, one song download was interrupted. I have followed the instructions for resuming the download, but each time I attempt to resume the download the same error message appears saying the download was interrupted. Ans

While downloading an album in from the Store, one song was interrupted. I have followed the instructions from apple about resuming the download, but every time I do so the same error message appears saying the download was interrupted. I am having no connection problems, have rebooted my computer, downloaded the lates version of iTunes, etc., yet nothing changes. Has anyone else experienced this, and are there any workarounds. Sadly the problem hit on one of the best songs of the album.

I had the same problem so (assuming under the Purchased items in the Store you have a song stuck at 'Downloading'):
I went to Music, then Artists.
From there I chose the album.
The song that failed to download had the cloud symbol next to it.
I clicked the cloud symbol and the song completed the download for me.
(Please note this was in iTunes for Windows - I expect it to be similar in iTunes for Apple)
