Problem downloading Comedy Central

I have tried several times to download the Comedy Central podcast and it keeps telling me there was a problem downloading. I have unsubscribed and subscribed again several times but still get the same problem.
I went to the website and tried to report a concern and also got an error stating requested resource was not found.
I see it is at the top of the list of downloads so it must be working for other people.
I download other Podcasts without difficulty. Can someone help?

Hello Evilpaul,
There are only two standard menu selections on a set top box that control picture options as follows:
Menu > Settings > > Video Settings > Video Format: Ensure it is on 720P 16:9
Menu > Settings > > Video Settings > SD Override: You can choose one of 3 options (Off, 480i, 480p, and stretch) for SD broadcasts
Beyond that you will need to visit your TV sets internal options for settings such as zoom, aspect ratio, wide mode, etc... The Comedy Central 690 channel is an HD channel however from time to time there are shows or live casts that are not sent in HD formats for us to deliver to you. You may see words on the side bars such as 570 ESPN does on some shows that are sent in SD formats.
Thanks

I have 80GB video iPod, model MA450LL, Version 1.2.1. When I try to get the "Comedy Central" video podcasts, I get measge that they are not copatible with my iPod. I have reset it, to no avail. the episods appear in iTunes with length time of 0:00:00.
All other video podcast, movies TV etc. download OK and sync to iPod.
Since the Comedy Central podcasts are among the favorite comedy downloads I'm sure there must me something wrong on my end.
Any ideas?

Watching Comedy Central on my mac 10.8.5

My system is wireless and I use chrome browser, but Comedy Central is fraught with hang ups and stalls. How can I improve it?

First, so you can get a baseline to compare, do a test of your internet speeds. Speedtest.net by Ookla - The Global Broadband Speed Test
What kind of internet service do you have, and what kind of speed are you supposed to get? If you are not getting the speed you should be getting, then maybe you should call your ISP and see if they can fix it.
What kind of wireless router do you have? I had a lot of difficulty with my wireless until I got an apple router. I have a whole drawer full of crappy cheap routers. Linksys, mostly. The airport extreme is way better.
Try resetting the whole system:
power down all your hardware: modem, router, and computer. With the modem and router, unplug the power cords.
wait a few minutes
power up the modem and let it fully start up.
power up the router and let it fully start up.
power up your computer.
This might improve things. Test your speed again to compare.
Your modem might be the problem; you can take it back to your ISP and they'll swap it out for a new one.
Try a different location for your router.
Try a different channel for your router. Sometimes there is interference from a nearby signal.
If it's just comedy central, maybe the problem is with them. Maybe their server is just slow!
Maybe someone is stealing your bandwidth. Make sure you have some security enabled on your router.

Comedy Central HD pixelated, Bad customer service.

I've been having a problem with my service for at least a week. Comedy Central HD is pixelated, and the sound cuts out. I have tried on multiple occasions, and on multiple days to call tech support. Calls to tech support run me to a "it appears tech support can not solve your problem" and procedes to drop me back to the main menu. At no point during the call can i talk to anyone, or even explain what the problem is.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Call 888-553-1555 and when you get to the automated service and it asks for your phone number. Dont give it. Just say "agent". you may have to say it a time or two. Then you should get a simple menu. You want option 2 for FIOS and then option 2 again for REPAIR. This should get you to a live person without having to deal with the automated system. Thats how I get through when I need to talk to them.
Or you can go to
http://www22.verizon.com/content/ContactUs/
and click the live chat option
But before you do any of that. Try disconnecting the coax input on the back of the STB and then reconnect it. You'd be supprised at just how often that will clear up a problem that only affects a few channels.

Problem downloading beta

Anyone else having a problem downloading the new Oracle BPEL Process Manager 10.1.2 Beta-3. Both IE and Firefox seem to hang at the very end for a few minutes and then I end up with a corrupt zip file (End of central directory signature not found (info-zip)).
I'm wondering if this a general problem or just one with our firewall.

I did not have any problems downloading or
installing.
However, after installation I encounter one small
problem. I cannot read the orderbooking.pdf file in
the 127.OrderBookingTutorial directory.
My Acrobat Reader v.6.0.3 reports "There was an error
opening this document. The file is damaged and could
not be repaired."Were you able to resolve the error for the PDF file?
I have a similar problem with a file I have (when I open on Acrobat V6)... However on V7 it seems to open okay...?

Problems downloading photos from iPhoto to iPod 5G classic

Until recently I had no problems downloading my photo library to my iPod (~250 photos). However, the last couple of groups of photos I've gotten I cannot transfer. I get an error message that reads "The iPod cannot be synced. The disk could not be read from or written to." My last 3 rolls do not transfer to the iPod, although all the other photos do as well as all songs, movies, calendars, etc. Everything else is OK just the last 3 photo rolls. 2 of the 3 problem rolls were gathered from emails, but so were others that load fine. The last roll was downloaded from the BART website and will not transfer.
Anybody know what's up with this?

Thanks again TD
I will check on the formating when I get home, I am pretty sure that I haven't used any no-ascii characters, but will double check.
Before I download iphoto library manager, I just wanted to report an interesting experiment that I tried last night that may point in a different direction:
I keep my iphoto library on a second internal HD, so I thought I would just try making a complete copy of my iphoto library onto my desktop. Once I did this, I started up iPhoto with alt and choose the desktop version of the library and all worked perfectly, my iphoto albums showed instantly in my photo tab in itunes when I selected to sync with iphoto.
My next move was to rename my old library and then copy my desktop version into the folder where the old library is. Once I did this the problem was back again.
I have no reason to believe that it is the second disc that is causing the problem, as that is where I have always kept my itunes and iphoto libraries and they have worked without problem.
(As I am writing this, it dawned upon me that I missed one important test, I should have tried the old library after I had renamed it, but stil in the same place.)
I am now suspecting that the problem may be linked to an external drive that I addded to the system at Christmas. This was a WD My Book which I use for backup, the link being that I use the software that came with it to do autobackups that includes my iphoto library folder. I am wondering if this software does something to the folder.
Thoughts welcome.

Lightroom 5.3 problems, downloading through Creative Cloud.

Lightroom 5.3 problems, downloading through Creative Cloud. Error 1624
ERROR: Install MSI payload failed with error: 1624 - Error applying transforms. Verify that the specified transform paths are valid.
MSI Error message:
ERROR: Third party payload installer Adobe_Lightroom_x64.msi failed with exit code: 1624

this is from emma at https://blogs.adobe.com/lightroomjournal/2013/12/lightroom-5-3-now-available.html
I had this same error and managed to get around it by running the .msi file that the CC app downloaded to a temp folder on my own. Steps were:
1. Find the location Adobe_Lightroom_X64.msi (in a a temp folder)
2. Run it and install (serial number was already pre-filled out)
3. Restart the CC desktop app
It then appeared as installed under ‘Your Apps’ and works as usual.

Hi I am having problems downloading and updating apps on my iPad and iPhone. The message cycles between waiting and loading then I get an error message saying unable to download app. Eventually,after many attempts it works.

Hi Guys - for a few days I have been having problems downloading and updating apps on my iPad and iPhone. The message cycles between waiting and downloading then eventually says unable to download app. Sometimes after many attempts it wil eventually work. I tested it on an old iPhone 3G and got the same problem so it is not an iOS 5 issue. My WI-FI connection is working fine. I was wondering if this is an App Store problem? Anyone else in the UK having this problem?

Hi John
iTunes Support wasn't of any use to me.
I have also been having another problem - with BBC iPlayer and other video streaming not working due to insufficient bandwidth, despite my overall download speed being consistently around 50Gb. This is also affecting AppleTV downloads
I am using Virgin Media as my ISP, and was wondering whether you do as well. This might be the common thread.

"There was a problem downloading podcast. An unknown error occurred (-50)"

Hello everyone,
When I try to download the latest episode of my podcast feed, I see an exclamation mark next to the episode. When I click on the exclamation mark for more information, I see the following error message:
"There was a problem downloading <podcast_episode>. An unknown error occurred (-50). Please check that the URL is correct and the connection to the network is active and try again."
I was hoping that somebody might take a look at my feed and review the code for any potential problems. It can be found here:
http://www.stereogol.com/audio/wimpy_podcast.php
Important notes:
1. This is not XML code. It is an XML generator created in PHP.
2. This feed used to work fine in iTunes. I had many episodes already downloaded.
3. I began noticing the problem after upgrading to iTunes version 7 and beyond.
4. I know at least 3 other people that experienced the same problem with my feed after upgrading.
5. Upgrading to newer service packs (7.0.2 for example) has not solved the problem.
6. I ran my feed through an RSS validator. It spotted 2 errors: (1) the width of the podcast image and (2) the syntax of the <source> tag. I made corrections but they did not solve the problem. I changed them back after that.
Thanks in advance for any input you can provide.
Pedro

Try fixing up the validation issues...

Not promising it will help, but it's worth a shot.

There was a problem downloading An unknown error occurred (-50).

Hi,
After upgrading to Itunes 11 it refused to play movies I had purchased through the Itunes store, even though I could see the files were there on my hard drive, and the movie covers were visible in Itunes. I discovered that the only way to get them playing was to redownload them from the Icloud. If this wasn't bad enough (I have over 200GB of movies) I am getting the following error on particular files.
There were problems downloading some purchased items.
For more information on the items that could not be downloaded, click below.

I hope somone can help me with both problems because whilst my ISP might like to see me download 200MB of data (I pay extra when I go over 20GB in a month), I would not. Also the error problem would be usefull to correct because I would hate to lose any of my Itunes purchases. I should probably mention that I am using Windows 8 64 bit.
Thanks,
Lachlan

Hi Lachlan,
That sounds frustrating. Luckily, we have documentation on this error message:
iTunes Store: "Error (-50)" when downloading purchased content
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1583
This can happen when the connection timeout occurs while downloading purchased content from the iTunes Store. Certain types of software may also affect the way a computer sends and receives information from the internet. Here are a few examples of these types of software:
- Firewalls
- Web Accelerators
- Ad Filters
- Virus Protection Software

TS3694 Why can't I update my iPhone 4 to iOS 5.1? Every time I try it gets all the way done downloading it; however when it's processing the file the page tells me "There is a problem downloading the software for the iPhone. Network connection timed out.

Why can't I update my iPhone 4 to iOS 5.1? Every time I try it gets all the way done downloading it; however when it's processing the file the page tells me "There is a problem downloading the software for the iPhone. Network connection timed out. Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active. or try again later." and next to the file it has err = -3259. I have tried this 17 times and it won't work. My iTunes is completely up to date. I have made sure that my connection is fine and I have tried turning my firewall off with no avail. This has happened to me before but usually the update will go through after 2-3 tries, never to this extent. I don't know what to do. Help!

Error -3259 is a network timeout error, usually. This article might help:

"there was a problem downloading the software for the iPhone, the network connection could not be established". This happens even though I have a working internet connection.
Besides that, all the other functions work properly, even synchronize apps and library.
Will I be able to update the software?

Problems downloading java in firefox

My new forms install 11.1.1.4 will not work in firefox 3.6.16 . It wants to download jre 6.12:
http://java.sun.com/products/archive/j2se/6u12/index.html
However the download is immediately cancelled. If I tell it to resume it, it looks like it was downloaded but it is not there.
This is a problem I've had in recent times downloading anything from oracle and not just java There's something wrong with firefox vs oracle's web site. Sometimes you can use firefox sometimes you can't.
Anyway I got 6u24 installed but the test form does not recognize it because it is not 6.12. So this has got to be an faq how to
change the dependence on 6u12 to 6u24 (or better whatever the current version of java would be). I'm sorry to ask such a dumb
newbie question but if anyone knows how to change it I'd really appreciate it.
this does not work with firefox with 6u24, that's all I know. (the test form does work with chrome and with IE 8. BTW I found that if
you have this problem downloading any java with firefox, it is easier to download it with chrome. I see that chrome is very cognizant of
jre versions and there's a lot of confirming things on sun's website. So you can download and install java via chrome if the other avenues
are not working. (I'm getting a real java headache now. I think I'll work on something else :-)

Oh a simple fix. You merely have to find the formsweb.cfg file which in 11.1.1.4 is something like:
c:\Oracle\Middleware\user_projects\domains\forms\config\fmwconfig\servers\WLS_FORMS\applications\formsapp_11.1.1\config\formsweb.cfg
change these 3 items to as follows:
jpi_classid=clsid:CAFEEFAC-0016-0000-0024-ABCDEFFEDCBA
jpi_codebase=/forms/java/jre-6u24-windows-i586.exe#Version=1,6,0,24
jpi_mimetype=application/x-java-applet;jpi-version=1.6.0_24
you could also change the download so they are not downloading the wrong thing:
jpi_download_page=https://cds.sun.com/is-bin/INTERSHOP.enfinity/WFS/CDS-CDS_Developer-Site/en_US/-/USD/ViewProductDetail-Start?ProductRef=jre-6u24-oth-JPR@CDS-CDS_Developer
I probably missed a few.
(But does this mean that every time there is another version of java I'm going to have to change this file? Actually I though mozilla was
going to run the latest version of java if you specified one that was earlier. There's just no telling what that program is going to do.
