Problems downloading webpages from forums

Has anyone else noticed problems this morning with the way webpages are being downloaded?
I'm seeing pages quickly go to errors.  Or pages only getting partially loaded then stopping.  It seems like the HTML is getting cut short before the page is completely finished being sent.
I also just now got a pink part saying something "Sorry, unable to complete the action you requested" while I was typing this message.

I'm going to blame this one on our IT dept. doing something to screw up the connection to the internet.  Last week they sent out an e-mail to people blaming them for slowing the network down for too many "non-business related" activities.  I didn't see any problems until after that e-mail came out.  Though I don't remember any issues with any other websites I visited.
Friday things were acting up.  It was like the webpage was not getting dowloaded, or only partially downloaded.  Keep refreshing and you might get lucky and more will download.  Though it was rare for a page to be 100% correct.  I went home and had no problems with the forums over the weekend.  Come in on Tuesday, and it was still acting up at work.  But sometime after lunch, everything started to behave properly again.
So my theory, IT screwed up the network and then figured out how to fix it.  Although I don't know why the problem only seemed to manifest itself with the forums.  But considering no one else popped in and said they saw similar problems, I think the problem was with our corporate internet connection.

  • Can I use Java to download webpages from the internet?

    I need to be able to download webpages from different servers, search the webpage for certain data, save that data to disk and manipulate that data to create complimentary data to save as well. An example of what I need to download is at
    http://www.gamestop.com/search.asp?keyword=final+fantasy&lookin=title&platform=var&genre=0&searchtype=adv&sortby=title
    I want to do the same thing programmatically as when I point my IE browser at the page and "Save As..." the page to disk.
    Does the JDK 1.2 have all the tools I need to get a connection to this URL and download the webpage there? If so, could you tell me what packages to look in or point me to some good docs?
    I'm desparate, so please help!

    Okay, I got that to work on another webpage, but on the webpage i specified on the previous post gave me the wrong web page, one that state that "cookies" aren't enable and the website cannot work without cookies. Is there any way to programmatically enable cookies?

    The iPod's screen indicates that the iPod is connected? 
    In Windows, the iPod will not appear as removable storage, unless it is set in iTunes to Enable disk use.  By default, it is NOT set to Enable disk use.
    In iTunes, if the sidebar (along left side of window) is hidden, from the iTunes menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar.  When the iPod is connected, it should appear in the sidebar, under DEVICES.  It does not appear there?

  • ITunes 7.0.1(7):  Problems Downloading Movies from iTunes Store

    Prior to installing the iTunes 7.0.1(7) upgrade, I had no problems downloading movies from the iTunes store. After I noticed that there appeared to be rate-limiting on the inital movie that I purchased, I simultaneously downloaded three other movies and watched one of the movies while they were downloading.
    No problems with downloading multiple movies but severe problems with using iTunes 7.0.0 as a viewer. An inadvertent movement or click of the mouse resulted in the video portion of the movie disappearing. To solve the problem, I created symlinks in the QuickTime Player's ~/Movies directory to the downloaded movies. Using QuickTime as a viewer was a significant improvement over iTunes.
    Upgraded to iTunes 7.0.1(7) when it was released. Today I discovered that the release has significant problems downloading movies.
    After the initial download of the movie to /private/tmp, the iTunes download panel displays a message stating that it is processing the file. One would assume that it is inserting the chapter bookmarks and transferring it to the ~Music/iTunes/iTunes Music/Movies directory.
    Not so. Its downloading the movie a second time. The processing file message is displayed a second time followed by a pop-up window reprting that the file is corrupt with an error code of 10008. Looks like one of Window's infamous network error codes. Wonder what it's doing on a Mac?
    Enough of my diatribe. Are others seeing this? Do you have a "work around" or solution to the problem?
    PowerBook 17, PowerMac G5   Mac OS X (10.4.8)   iTunes 7.0.1(7)

    I did run Disk Utility after reporting my problems here and to the iTunes Store. The "Check Permissions" scan found two iTunes with the incorrect permissions. As the permissions were correct prior to the upgrade, I presume the executable permission flags were turned on during the upgrade. Repaired the permission problems.
    Also, I performed a reboot as was mentioned in a discussion of a slightly different problem. I was able to download one of the movies. The second failed about half-way through the download with a 9006 error.

  • Problems downloading apps from the store 6/16/2013

    Is anyone having problems downloading apps from the store?  I am receiving a connection failed:invoke error.
    Appreciate any assistance.
    Thank you.

    I have no idea what that means but try closing the App Store, and reboot your iPad. See if that helps.
    Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the App Store icon. Tap the home button.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • Problems downloading songs from Match to a 5th Generation iPod

    I have about 16,000 songs in my library in iTunes on a Windows 7 laptop, and have successfully turned on and synced with Match, with a paid subscription. Now I want to download songs from my library to a 5th Generation iPod. Whwn I connect the iPod to my PC, iTunes sees that iPod, allowed me to Restore it, then I clicked the device (iPod) checked Sync Music, Selected Playlists, artists, albums and genres. I browsed the artists that it showed to select a portion on my library (since 16,000 songs won't fit on a 30 gig iPod) and iTunes showed only 136 out of 16,000 songs. I have a Playlist titled All, that has the whole library in it, tried selecting that, but got the same result. Why isn't iTunes seeing my whole library?
    Thanks!

    Is this an iPod Touch and have you enabled iTunes Match on the device? If not, which seems to be the case from your description, this isn't really an iTunes Match problem. You might get better help by posting in one of the specific iPod forums, or perhaps the iTunes for Windows forum.

  • Problems downloading photos from camera to iPhoto

    All -- I'm running iPhoto 6 on a Mac Mini with the latest version of OS10. I have a Canon PowerShot G3 and shoot 4-megapixel JPEG photos, and AVI movies. Downloading photos from the G3 to the Mac is slow, and deadly slow (as is 15 minutes or more) when there's an AVI movie or two mixed in with JPEGs. I've had to abort several downloads when they just flat out stalled.
    Today when downloading a total of 58 JPEGs and 6 AVI's I got an error message - "unreadable files". 51 JPEGS and 3 AVIs downloaded fine. 7 JPEGS and 3 AVIs didn't download. The error message says "The following files could not be imported. They may be an unrecognized file type or the files may not contain valid data."
    Any help you all can offer would be much appreciated.
    Greg

    Isn't technology great? The more you learn, the more you need to learn more.
    Have you viewed the iPhoto 6 tutorials? http://www.apple.com/ilife/tutorials/iphoto/new.html The section on Organizing, "Add Ratings, Titles and Comments" could be helpful.
    Click on the little blue i on the lower left of the iPhoto window, and the Info Panel should pop up. Select a picture, and it shows the info for it. Select a film roll's name, and you can see and edit the info for the whole roll. Click on the roll's title in the info panel to highlight it and you can type in a new name. You can edit the date of the roll this way, and it will affect how your rolls are listed in the library. The dates "from" and "to" are generated by the dates of the items within the roll. If you type comments about a roll they will be shown below the roll's name in the library when the roll is closed. I like to keep rolls that match my camera cards, but they can be very large. So I use comments to list the events contained in the roll, so I know which roll to open when I want to find a specific photo.
    If you view your library in Film Roll view then you see the rolls' names with a little triangle to the left. As in the Finder, clicking on the triangle to make it point right conceales the contents of (closes) an item, while clicking on it to turn it down reveals the items inside the item.
    Now the hard part - all those dates. If the dates and times are totally wrong, I would use iPhoto's Batch change to correct them. However, only iPhoto will recognize this date change, because it won't correct the real problem, which is that the EXIF info is wrong for those pictures. There are ways of changing EXIF info which involve downloading other programs, running batch changes, and re-imprting into iPhoto. I've never done it, but I searched the iPhoto 6 forum for "EXIF rename file info" and restricted by user name Old Toad. Try this thread http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=1734147&#1734147 and note Old Toad's last post about PhotoInfo.
    If you don't mind about the EXIF, then you can just redate them within iPhoto. Select a series of photos from the same date, then go to the Photos menu and select Batch Change. Select Set Date. Type the correct date and give a time for the first picture. To force iPhoto to maintain the same order within the series, check Add 1 minute between each photo. This way, although the times will be wrong, at least they will have the correct chronological sequence. (Or type in the times manually after the batch change if the order is not correct.) I always do this with rolls of actual film I get processed at a store. The photo CD I get never has the correct dates or times, so I add these to at least get them to display in my library in the correct order. As far as I know, you have to run a seperate batch change for each date that you want to change to. Unless you have a series with one photo for each day and wish to check "Add X Days between each photo."
    The highest rated member (very talented) of the iMovie forum, Karsten Schluter, still tells people he's just an amateur. We all learn what we need when we need it. I am grateful for the support on these forums. Let me know how it goes.

  • Problems downloading Apps from Store

    I'm having problems with my daughters new Nokia Lumia 520 - downloading apps from the store. It says I need t set up My Family. But I've done this. When I first set up her phone I crated a microsoft account for her and then I linked it to my micrsoft account on my laptop - so I am the parent and she is the child, However it says No Windows Phone 8 next to her name?? So every time she tries to download an app on her phone it tells her to set up My Family first. I have never seen a checkbox to tick to see I agree to the terms and conditions for the app store either. Should I have set up her phone with my microsoft account?

    This is an issue to be brought up with Microsoft support HERE. You are posting to the NOKIA user to user support forum and this functionality falls under the core OS (=MSFT) part of the OS.

  • 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.

  • Problem downloading photos from iPhone to iPhoto on MacBook

    I can't download photos from my iPhone 5 to iPhoto anymore. It comes up with an error message that says 'The following file could not be imported. (The file is in an unrecognized format.)' My software is up to date. The photos were taken on my iPhone, however there are also some photos that I have saved from other people who sent them as a text message. How can I save my photos please without loosing them? I have tried to save one image only, not all of them, and nothing work. Suggestions appreciated. Thanks.

    As a Test:
    Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
    Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?
    Post back with the result.

  • I am having problems downloading photos from my camera to iphoto 11

    I am unable to download photos from my sony cybershot DSC-W170 and my Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ30 to iphoto11. The problem started when the colour wheel started spinning when iphoto opened after I switched on either camera and the programme became unresponsive. Subsequently when ever I then tried to open iphoto the colour wheel span and iphoto didn't respond, force quit the only way out.
    After this happened the first time I rebuilt my library from timemachine (not the quickest process with around 9000 images), iphoto then opened okay and I could view libraries again.
    I then downloaded the images directly from the camera sd card to my desktop and tried to drag the images into iphoto one at a time this worked but as soon as i tried to import the whole roll, the colour wheel popped up and iphoto became unresponseive again but I could view my libraries at least.
    I then read about deleting the library cache which I did and restarted my mac (imac core duo 2ghz, running 10.6.8) I then tried to download from the sony cybershot again and I here am back at the start, with the colour wheel and iphoto not responding, I have just force quit and I can't open iphoto. Help!

    What exactly happens when you try to sync?
    Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
    Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
    If so have you done anything like update iTunes on the computer since it last successfully synced?
    Do the songs play in iTunes?          
    Does any media now sync to the iPod?
    Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?

  • Problems downloading photos from camera

    (I'm not sure I'm using IPhoto 5, I have an IMac G5.)
    I am having great difficulty downloading pictures from my digital camera. I have an Olympus camera which I connect to my Mac with the help of a Jessops Universal Card Reader. The card is an X-D one. When I connect the card reader via the USB port, IPhoto opens up but when I attempt to download the pictures I am stuck with the multicoloured "wait" icon. Do I need to clear anything out? I had a similar problem with AppleWorks that was resolved by another user -- see http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=822524&tstart=0. Any ideas?
    IMac G5   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

    Hi DM,
    Do you have any large movie files on the camera card. This has caused the problems for some.
    Try using Image Capture and see if it will let you download the contents of the card. The following is an explanation of why I use Image Capture instead of iPhoto to download my photos.
    When iPhoto 5 first came out I really think it was programmed to import the smaller 30 sec video clips that cameras were taking at the time. Since then, digital cameras, at least my Canon S2 can take clips as large as your memory card can hold. The first time I tried to download my images and movie clips with my new camera, iPhoto stalled at the movie clips. I wasn't going to take any chances messing up my iPhoto Library so I started using Image Capture to download all my images and Movie clips. I actually like doing it this way a lot better. My movie clips are downloaded into my Movies folder where I then put them in a dated folder.
    My photos are downloaded into my Pictures folder, where I then put them in a dated folder. I import the dated folder into iPhoto. I also keep all dated folders from photo downloads in the Pictures folder till I get enough Movie folders and Photo folders to fill a DVD. I burn them and then delete them from the hard drive.
    This way I have the photos in iPhoto and I also have just the photos backed up to DVD.
    The Movies I keep on the hard drive in their dated folders until I use all the clips for my iMovie projects for the Year. I then make sure they are all burned to DVD, then I delete those from my hard drive.
    Using Image Capture to download images and video clips:
    Open up Image Capture which is found in the Applications folder.
    When it is opened, go to Image Capture/Preferences
    Under the General button choose
    Camera: When a camera is connected, open Image Capture.
    The next time you connect your camera Image Capture will open.
    In the window that opens you will see an Options button. Click on that button to set your options.
    To find out more about Image Capture (it can do a lot more) Click on Help in the menu bar when Image Capture is open.
    iPhoto: How to Change the "Open Automatically" Preference
    If you find you can't change any of Image Captures preferences or can't access any drop down menus or they are greyed out, check to make sure Image Capture is loose in the Applications folder and not within a sub folder.

  • Problems downloading Photos from 8900 smartphone

    Hi
    Im having problems downloading photos stored on an SD card from my BB to PC.
    Ive looked at the other posts and turned on mass storage accordingly.
    When I connect my BB to the PC using the USB link, the BB informs me the mass storage mode is being activated and requests a password, which I enter.
    However, the BB does not appear in the Devices list in the My Computer screen on the PC.
    Does anyone have ideas as to the problem??
    I have lots of photos on there, so want to avoid sending dozens of mails to get the photos off the BB.
    Thank you

    Hi stuart_fraser,
    Have you checked the Windows Device Manager to see if the BlackBerry and/or Mass storage device shows up?  Also, the BlackBerry may show up in "My Computer" as a removable storage device.
    Thanks
