Pause during download
I tried to download OS X Lion.
Unfortunately, during the process, the wifi connexion has been interrupted.
Now, the wifi connexion is OK but I read (above the Lion icon appearing in the Dock) : "OS X Lion - en pause"
What can I do to restart the process ?
Thanks for your help
Hi Brett and welcome to Apple Discussions,
This has always been a problem with folder actions, even before Automator came along. Your solution is one way round, but as you probably recognise it's a bit hit and miss.
Another commonly suggested solution when using AppleScript folder actions is to get the size of the original file and loop until the size of the copied file is the same before running the rest of the action.
I wouldn't fancy trying to do that in an Automator workflow, but it could be done with AppleScript.

Weird pauses during download/upload visible on speedtest
Hey Everyone. I'm seeing a weird thing happening when running a speed test over at Speakeasy.net (http://www.speakeasy.net/speedtest/
Every time I do it I'm seeing several weird pauses during the download & upload. The ball moving across the page stops for a beat and then picks up again. I do not see this happen on my powerbook (wireless) or my pc.
any ideas whats going on? I have a d-link DI-634M router (but it did the same with an old router) and I'm on a high speed cable connection. Also. I'm running 10.4.8
any help would be appreciated.Hmm, that one account, that helps!
Is the Interface you're connecting with at the top of the list in Network Port Configurations?
If it is, then try trashing...
/Users/nnnn/Library/Preferences/com.apple.internetconnect.plist
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/preferences.plist
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.airport.preferences.plist

OS X Mavericks has paused during download.
I am attempting to download Mavericks on the my MacBook Pro. I am currently running 10.6.8. The icon in the doc indicated that the download was waiting. This lasted for more than 15 min so I suspected that the process was hung. I restarted my computer and now the icon indicates that the download has paused. I am not sure how the "un" pause the download.
I read the helpful hints: Issue with Mavericks download and resolved my issue by holding the cursor over the dock icon. This presented a pop up where I clicked on "resume". All is well.

A file paused during download now appears in Launchpad. How to remove?
The Software updater offered 3 items to upgrade. After it started I paused one of them - I couldn't stop that one altogether. Now the paused file appears, as paused, in the Launchpad. I can't find the file-in-progress in download folder or elsewhere.
How can I remove this, and clean up Launchpad's display?If you click and hold on the icon of the paused download does it jiggle and display a cross in the corner. If so, click on the 'x' to delete it.

Hello
If anyone has any info on downloading Lion would be greatly appreciated. The download is in a constant state of pause. I cannot get it out of the pause phase into active download. Anyone having similar trouble?
thxSee if either of these two things help.
Make sure that you do not have a stalled download in iTunes - a song or podcast .... if you have a download in there that did not finish, complete that one first. Only one thing can download at a time on the iPad so that could be what is causing the problem.
If that doesn't work - sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
Settings>Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Go back to Settings>Store>Sign in and then try to update again. -
Recover apps that i deleted from app list - it was paused during download
Hi, I had just updated to OSX 10.9 (works great) but had a Mavericks download ready for installation in my App Store "Purchases" list. I started the download in my purchases list because I wanted to create a USB startup disk of Mavericks.
What I then did was pasue the download to check on things and when I wanted to continue with the download I accidently deleted the puchased app of Mavericks from my App List. The OSX logo in Launchpad is shaded and showing that it is "Paused".
Can you please let me know how I can get the Mavericks download back into my Purchased List so I can continue with the download "or" tell me how I can remove the pasued item in Launchpad.
Thanks,Found answer to my own problem. Went into App Store account and was able to unhide the application I accidently deleted. Worked just fine

HT4943 Error during download - I keep getting this error message when installing or updating apps
I subscribed to wired magazine and I am trying to download the first mag, however I keep getting an error message stating "error during download, try again later". I also get an error message when trying to resume paused updating of apps. I've tried turning ipad2 off and then on again but this doesn't work. Can anyone help?
There are all basic troubleshooting steps that have worked for other users in the past that were having problems downloading and updating apps. YMMV .....
Make sure that you do not have a stalled download in iTunes - a song or podcast .... if you have a download in there that did not finish, complete that one first. Only one thing can download at a time on the iPad so that could be what is causing the problem.
If that doesn't work - sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
Settings>Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Go back to Settings>Store>Sign in and then try to update again. Tap one waiting icon only if necessary to start the download stream.
You can also try deleting the waiting icons - tap and hold down on an icon until it wiggles - the tap the X on the icon to delete it. Then try to download again.
You can try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your app preferences and device settings again. -
Advice on Apple TV Pausing During Streaming (Apple Remote App too)
With all the talk and excitement of the new Apple TV, I'm not sure if this problem applies. I'm not sure if the new Apple TV streams movies like the old one did.
Regardless, I have had some difficulty with my 40GB Apple TV that I finally figured out after months. I'll describe my network, describe the problem and solution, and why that solution works.
1. My network.
I have:
an iMac connected wirelessly to an Airport Extreme
a Western Digital hard drive connected via ethernet to my Extreme. My movie library is here
an newer airport express (N) connected to my stereo on the main floor
an older airport express (G) connected in the basement with my XBOX connected to it via ethernet
an Apple TV in the basement.
2. The problem
When I'm streaming movies, it often works just fine. However, sometimes, during a movie, the playback pauses as if Apple TV needs to re-cache the movie or something. It will pause for about 10 seconds or so then keep playing. When it starts to play again, the movie jumps forward the 10 seconds to the current playing point. This then works for anywhere from another 30 seconds to several minutes. When this pausing occurs, if you click the Apple remote to bring up the status bar, you can see the timeline of the movie continue to move along. Then, other times, the whole thing will somehow cure itself and start working again.
Unrelated but later found to be related problem with Apple remote on iPod touch
Sometimes, trying to connect to my iTunes library, it couldn't connect and I'd get the message that my firewall is getting in the way. You'll see as it turns out, this isn't the problem.
How I found the solution
When this pausing occured, I would unplug the Airport Express in the basement. This is the one the XBOX is connected to. After a couple of seconds, I'd plug it back in. On the TV screen, it would revert back to the movie list and show that there were no movies to play. Then, after a couple of seconds, my movie list would reappear. I'd restart my movie and it would work just fine.
Here's what was happening
Somehow, I configured my Airport Express router in the basement to be an extention of the network The problem is that the Express in the basement was G speed and not N speed (I think that was the problem). Sometimes, Apple TV would connect to the Express router in the basement rather than my Airport Extreme router upstairs. When this happened, the pausing during streaming would occur. This also makes sense now that the movie list would briefly disappear when I'd unplug my Airport Express in the basement. The connection would be lost but then a few seconds later, Apple TV would find Airport Extreme and reconnect. Then it would work perfectly.
I also noticed two separate networks coming up when I did a network scan. I would fire up my WIndows laptop and do a network search. I would get two separate instances of 'Mynet'. One would be N speed and the other would be G speed. This now also makes sense since one of them was my Express and the other was my Extreme.
The solution
I did two things. I swapped the two Express routers so I had the N speed router in the basement connected to the XBOX. I also configured the network so it was 'all the same network'. Now, when I do a network scan on my Windows laptop, I no longer get the two separate instances of 'Mynet' coming up.
Since then, I have never had a problem streaming movies nor have I had a problem with my Apple Remote app on my iPod Touch.I'm having similar problem.
My set up:
iTunes running on my MacBook C2D, 2GB RAM
Movie contents are in an external USB2.0 HDD (7200rpm) attached to Airport Extreme (802.11n)
Typical movie content is mp4 file with 1.8mbps bitrate.
When my MB is completely idling state, ATV gets data w/o pausing.
When MB is doing some task (web browsing, etc), no problem.
When iTunes starts downloading some video podcasts (to MB, not syncing to ATV).... the movie streamed to ATV gets paused and gets into the same state as gjbonnington described.
Any idea how to solve??
MB C2D (Black, 2GB RAM) Mac OS X (10.4.9)
Powerbook G4 15 (1.33GHz, Combo Drive) Mac OS X (10.4.2)
Powerbook G4 15 (1.33GHz, Combo Drive) Mac OS X (10.4.2) -
My G4 times out during Software updates. I only have dial-up and computer times out after about 2 hrs. I then have to start all over again to try to download. Is there a download that will let me resume where it left off. Ex. a security update of 80 mb. times out around 50 mb. Please help if possible , I need these updates.
There are a few browsers out there which can resume the failed download
and not have to start over from the beginning; of course, since I've been
lucky lately, and my standard Firefox 3.0.16, Safari 4.0.2, Opera, & Camino
appear to work OK and not time-out, I am not sure if these offer that feature.
Most can pause a download and cancel it, too; before it is done.
The Safari browser (not sure if the feature is an option or plugin) is said to
be able to support the resume interrupted downloads function. The part of
the browser known as the 'download manager' in the download window is
often part of the key to resuming downloads if they are interrupted. See an
example of this as shown here. It should be familiar:
http://www.askdavetaylor.com/howto_resume_interrupted_download_apple_safarifirefox.html
Also, Cyberduck, a freeware browser for several platforms, offers this
function as part of its standard fare. Cyberduck: http://cyberduck.ch/
Under its Advanced Transfers feature, the promo write up says it can
resume both interrupted download and uploads. It is a 12MB D/L file.
Perhaps there is a dialup setting you can use to extend the time
sessions, so it won't time-out as fast.
Good luck & happy computing! -
Excessive hard drive activity during downloads
I'm wondering if anyone else gets excessive hard drive activity during iTunes downloads?
I've just downloaded an album and while the download was active, access to the relevant hard drive ran at ~90% access time, with an occasional drop between tracks. Pause the download, activity stops; restart and back up to 90%. As soon as the download finishes, again, back to normal.
Have tested downloading files to the same hard drive using other apps and it doesn't happen (eg. downloaded the OpenOffice installer with a browser and activity is down around 1-5%.
Using iTunes 11.0.2.25 on Windows 8 64 bit (plenty of RAM available during the download). Hard drive is an NTFS formatted SATA 3.5" (ie. bog standard non-SSD hard drive, nothing unusual).
Is anyone else seeing this? Wondering if it's a common bug or specific to this machine. If yes, is there anything we can do or is it just a bug in itunes?+1.
In fact my downloads appear to be I/O bound - they come no where near to max'ing out my Internet connection. It's way faster to download stuff directly to my iPad. -

I have given my 4th generation ipod touch to my husband and he wants to download some in app purchases, so I am trying to reset it via itunes. I dont remember setting parental controls but I must have at some point, maybe when I lent it to the kids. But I cannot remember the password and nothing I have tried works. So I have backed the ipod up and am trying to reset it but after speding 10 minutes doing a download I get a message that says:
"The softwaar for the iPod was corrupted during download. Disconnect and reconnect, then try again. Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active, or try again later"
I have tried many times. All the settings are correct, and the network seems to be working fine in all respects.
Any advice very much appreciated.
Thank you
UPDATE - decided to try one more time after trying for hours and it has worked! I now suspect it may have been because my son was playing an online game. Though we have plenty of bandwidth. But in case, I guess it could be a bandwidth problem.A Complete Guide to Restore or Recover Your iDevice (or if you forgot your passcode)
iTunes 10 for Mac- Update and restore software on iPod, iPhone, or iPad
iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
iOS- Understanding passcodes
If you have forgotten your Restrictions code, then follow the instructions
below but DO NOT restore any previous backup. If you do then you will
simply be restoring the old Restrictions code you have forgotten. This
same warning applies if you need to restore a clean system.
If you need to restore your device or if you cannot remember the passcode, then you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and re-sync the data from the device (or restore from a backup). If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present. Refer to Updating and restoring iPhone, iPad and iPod touch software.
Try restoring the iOS device if backing up and erasing all content and settings doesn't resolve the issue. Using iTunes to restore iOS devices is part of standard isolation troubleshooting. Restoring your device will delete all data and content, including songs, videos, contacts, photos, and calendar information, and will restore all settings to their factory condition.
Before restoring your iOS device, Apple recommends that you either sync with iTunes to transfer any purchases you have made, or back up new data (data acquired after your last sync). If you have movie rentals on the device, see iTunes Store movie rental usage rights in the United States before restoring.
Follow these steps to restore your device:
1. Verify that you are using the latest version of iTunes before attempting to
update.
2. Connect your device to your computer.
3. Select your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch when it appears in iTunes under Devices.
4. Select the Summary tab.
5. Select the Restore option.
6. When prompted to back up your settings before restoring, select the Back Up
option (see in the image below). If you have just backed up the device, it is not
necessary to create another.
7. Select the Restore option when iTunes prompts you (as long as you've backed up,
you should not have to worry about restoring your iOS device).
8. When the restore process has completed, the device restarts and displays the Apple
logo while starting up:
After a restore, the iOS device displays the "Connect to iTunes" screen. For updating
to iOS 5 or later, follow the steps in the iOS Setup Assistant. For earlier versions of
iOS, keep your device connected until the "Connect to iTunes" screen goes away or
you see "iPhone is activated."
9. The final step is to restore your device from a previous backup.
If you can not restore your device then you will need to go to recovery mode.
Placing your device into recovery mode:
Follow these steps to place your iOS device into recovery mode. If your iOS device is already in recovery mode, you can proceed immediately to step 6.
1. Disconnect the USB cable from the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, but leave the other end
of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the
red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake
and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off, release the Sleep/Wake
and Home buttons.
3. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device.
The device should turn on. Note: If you see the screen pictured below, let the device
charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some charge, and then
start with step 2 again.
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen.
When this screen appears you can release the Home button.
5. If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the following "recovery mode" alert:
6. Use iTunes to restore the device.
If you don't see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, try these steps again. If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, see this article and its related links.
Additional Information:
Note: When using recovery mode, you can only restore the device. All user content on the device will be erased, but if you had previously synced with iTunes on this computer, you can restore from a previous backup. See this article for more information. -
I tried to update my ipad air from IOS 7.0.4 to 7.1 on iTunes. I clicked download and update, it started to download normally but when download finished iTunes shows error that "The software for the iphone was corrupted during download".
How can I fix this error ?I had the same problem. In the end I downloaded it manually. Here's the steps assuming you are on a Mac and have an iPad Air (Wifi). If not you can find other restore links here.
In the terminal (it kept failing to download in Safari):
curl http://appldnld.apple.com/iOS7.1/031-4521.20140310.D2Ydl/iPad4,1_7.1_11D167_Rest ore.ipsw >>~/Desktop/iPad4,1_7.1_11D167_Restore.ipsw
Once the file has downloaded, move it to ~/Library/iTunes/iPad Software Updates/
Quit and relaunch iTunes.
Should now work for you.
