[SOLVED] Weird problems when trying to download initscripts-splashy.

I tried to install splashy, everything works fine but when it's time to download/build the initscripts-splashy package i run into some problems :
At first, the download it succeed but then it said the file was corrupt (checksum verification failed).
I tries a little bit later, and now it doesn't seem to able to download the file (which is only 12kb in size).
I used bauerbill to do this, but retried with packer, which does the same thing bauerbill first did (download it, then fail at the checksum verification).
So, what might be going wrong here ?

Splashy can be installed by installing splashy-full package from aur (and maybe also splashy-themes for extra themes).
The splashy wiki page recommends this method.

Error 109 Problem when trying to download 5.5 trial?

So i've uninstalled everything Adobe on my mac, and deleted any other straggling folders that did not have an "uninstall" anywhere in them, and have even downloaded the Adobe Creative Suite Cleaner Tool and it couldn't even find anything to uninstall so I'm pretty sure I got everything. But I've been trying to download this free trial for the past 3 hours now and it shows this everytime it gets a little bit going:
It says "Error downloading this product (Error 109). Check your network connection or destination disk. You can also use the "Reset product download" button to try to download the product again." Well, I've checked my connection, and its perfectly fine, and i've tried the Reset button about 3 times now and it still has this error message pop up. Help? And someone better reply because I never get replies on my posts I make on forums. >=[

For errors 109
Solution 1
Clear the browser cookies.
Go back to the Adobe.com download page and refresh the page.
Click on the Download button again to launch the ADA.
If the download does not start, verify your network connection and try again.
If your network connection works normally and you still get an error message after a few attempts, delete the contents of the Local Store folder (see path below).
Launch the ADA and accept the license agreement.
Close the ADA and follow steps 2 and 3 again.
If the issue is still unresolved check to make sure all anti-virus and firewall software is temporarily disabled.
Close the ADA and follow steps 2 and 3 again.
Solution 2
The trial software is downloaded in compressed files that you extract so that the installer can run. Insufficient disk space on the destination drive can cause extraction errors.
Check your hard drive to make sure that there is sufficient space for the download and extraction.
If necessary, remove some programs and files to create enough available hard disk space for the download and extraction.
Quit Adobe Download Assistant and then restart it. The extraction process starts automatically.
Solution 3
Check to see which version of Internet Explorer you are using by choosing Help > About Internet Explorer.
If you are using Internet Explorer 6, upgrade to Internet Explorer 8. Or, use a different browser, such as Mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome.
If the issue is still unresolved go to the Adobe Download Asisstant preferences location ( see below) and delete the Local Store folder..
Go back to the Adobe.com download page and refresh the page.
Click on the Download button to launch the ADA.
The ADA will launch and you will need to accept the the license again and sign in to start the download.
Note: You can resolve most errors by clicking the Reset Product Download button . The download either resumes from the point where the error occurred, or restarts from the beginning. If the error persists, try deleting the Adobe Download Assistant preferences file. Then, restart the download from Adobe.com.
Adobe Download Assistant preferences location:
Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Application Data\com.adobe.downloadassistant.AdobeDownloadAssistant\Local Store
Windows 7 and Vista: C:\Users\<login>\AppData\Roaming\com.adobe.downloadassistant.AdobeDownloadAssistant\Local Store
Mac OS: /Users/<login>/Library/Preferences/com.adobe.downloadassistant.AdobeDownloadAssistant, and /Users/<login>/Library/Caches/com.adobe.downloadassistant.AdobeDownloadAssistant
Solution 4
Error 106 occurs if you have previously initiated the download and then initiated a second download of a different trial product before the first download finishes.
Error 105 occurs if you have initiated a duplicate download of a trial product which is already downloading in the ADA queue.
Solution 5
The message, "Sorry, an error occurred," occurs when you use the Adobe Download Assistant in an account with insufficient administrative privileges. Either create an account with Administrator privileges or log in to an existing account with administrative privileges. Then, try the download again.

Thanks for the link. I was able to solve the font errors quickly, which is great!
Unfortunately some other errors remain:
X Error of failed request: BadName (named color or font does not exist)
Major opcode of failed request: 45 (X_OpenFont)

I've tried to follow instructions from the links below:

But realized I already have the xorg- 100dpi and 75dpi fonts by checking with the pacman command: pacman -Ssq 100dpi (and 75dpi).
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Help!! Weird error when trying to download ipod

After saving for months, my daughter finally got an ipod almost 2 weeks ago and can't use it! After I insert the CD, the download starts and then I get the following message: Error applying transforms. Verify that the specifed transform paths are valid. C:\WINNT\Downloaded Installations\(29f66148-21cf-4c5). I am clueless when it comes to computers and have absolutely no idea what to do. I would appreciate any help

Helen, instead of using the CD just download the required software from the links below.
Install iTunes first, then the iPod Updater.
Then run the Updater (Start - Programs - iPod), and only connect her mini when it tells you to. Choose the Restore option, then follow the instructions from there to finish the process and register the iPod.
After this she should be up and running.
iTunes 4.9

Hi Robertfrom Denver.
Did you try the solution given, and if yes, did it work?
I have done several "attempted downloads, and see the full file download, typically taking 30 minutes to complete, and then something goes wrong.
I am happy to suspend AV and FW software, but would like to know if it is a good fix or not first?

Solution:
Open Disk Utility.
Select your external hard disk and run a “verify” on it. After a few minutes (depending on the size of your drive), you should be good to go. You don’t need to run a “repair” on it... (at least I didn’t have to). See photo for reference.
This should fix the permissions issue, because on my Mac running Mountain Lion I was unable to edit the permissions in the get info dialog window even after "unlocking" the drive.

On my Ipad I seem to be having a problem when trying to play YouTube videos embedded on Facebook.
When I click the links, I get a message saying: "Flash Player upgrade required."
and under it, it says, "You need to download and install the lastes version of Adobe Flash Player to view this content"
and also a green button saying "Get Flash Player"
I get this if using chrome or safari .
I can go direct to YouTube it just works.

The Facebook link to the video is accessing an Adobe Flash video. Unfortunately, no iOS devices can play flash.

Perhaps let's first try updating your Apple Software Update.
Launch Apple Software Update ("Start > All Programs > Apple Software Update"). Does it launch and offer you a newer version of Apple Software Update? If so, choose to install just that update to Apple Software Update. (Deselect any other software offered at the same time.)
If the ASU update goes through okay, try another iTunes install. Does it go through without the errors this time?

Hi! I'm getting a "not currently available" message when trying to download old itunes music purchases to new "authorized" computer. I was able to download the first 500 songs no problem, but now I keep getting the "not currently available" message. Can u help? Thnx!

Hey SDGardella,
Thanks for the question. I understand that you are receiving error 499 when attempting to download purchases from the iTunes Store. The following resource outlines this error message:
iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3297
"Error 499"
This alert occurs due to security software. Follow iTunes for Windows: Troubleshooting security software issues.
Thanks,

Get Error2 message when trying to download iTunes onto my computer

When trying to download iTunes onto my laptop, it keeps giving me an error2 message:
Apple application support was not found.
Apple application support is required to run itunes. Please uninstall iTunes, then install iTunes again.
I've tried to uninstall MANY times and installed again, but still get the same message.
Please tell me what to do b/c iTunes does not provide me any directions that are helping me solve this problem.......

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes (similar to those above) and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
The section Install missing components has advice on breaking down the iTunes installer into the individual .msi files which might prove useful if Apple Application Support won't install normally.

Error message when trying to download purchased songs

I purchased some albums on my ipad that synced to my iphone. I'm now trying to download my purchases to my library stored on my PC, but I'm getting an error/warning message along the lines of:
"You can download past purchases for up to 90 days.....You cannot assign another apple id to this computer for the next 30 days".
Does anyone have any ideas? I did have to sign my wife out of itunes before i signed in to download my songs so i assuming its something to do with that.

When trying to download purchased songs on ITunes, it
gives an error message that the network connection
timed out. also gives this error message when I try
to download ITunes software. Can anyone help with
this error? Thanks
I am having the same problem. (err = -3259) and it's not listed in any of the error codes in Apple Support. Weird. Why have an error code and no reference for it.
First it happened when I tried to download a movie and I kept "checking for purchases" - didn't work - checked all my ad filters, privacy filters, firewall settings - didn't work. Then I forgot for a day, went back and it worked. Now I have three episodes of a TV show that will not download and I am getting the same error message. This time it has been a few days though...Someone who knows - Please HELP!!

If anyone is reading this still looking for what caused the issue and how to fix it here is what I discovered.
The antivirus program our company uses, Bitdefender Antivirus Plus, was causing some of the PDF files not to open. After troubleshooting the different modules and settings the culprit was..
Scan SSL in Privacy Control Settings. Turning it OFF solved the problem and all the PDF files that previously would not open now open just fine. This issue has been sent to Bitdefender for them to review. If you use a different antivirus program and are having this issue try locating the Scan SSL setting and see if turning it off solves the problem.

Just download the Link application directly to your PC, not with your BlackBerry connected.
There's no need for the connection while your simply downloading the install file.
