Stuff not downloading

Two problems, possibly related, possibly not.
Firstly, we've run into trouble with our jars not refreshing unless cached copies are manually deleted. Since the software in question is a client-server system, this problem can lead to the client revision being so out-of-sync with the server revision as to be incompatible.
Secondly, we've run into problems with the JVM/JRE not auto-downloading. My understanding is (and I've been asked to research an issue with which I have no direct experience, naturally!) that it's accepting installed JVMs that aren't current enough for the application jar, and are less than what's specified in the JNLP, and/or that it isn't auto-downlading anything whatsoever.

Well, I've figured out the part about jars not getting refreshed. It seems that they were refreshing fine, but just not when launching from a desktop icon. This is because (prior to 1.5) desktop icons apparently always launched offline, never checking for an update.
This seems to have changed in the 1.5 JNLP spec. There's a new clause in the "information" section: "shortcut online"
This is normally set to <shortcut online="false">, and behaves like the previous versions, but if you set it to <shortcut online="true">, desktop icons will launch online, and check for updates. Of course, the timeout is still there, but I think the bug that made it unrealistically short has been corrected.

  • Nokia Store not downloading

    Hi, I just got a new nokia E5 and the first app I downloaded from Nokia Store was free and via the PC suite which worked fine. Then I bought an app from my phone, it appears in 'purchase history' but NOT in My Stuff and sits at 0% on download. I tried downloading a different free app from the mobile but it too sits at 0%. Seems to be an issue downloading direct to the mobile but for the paid app it says I do not have the option to install via PC suite??? why?
    Also I've installed all recent updates for PC and phone.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Solution:
    Restarted phone and the app now appears in 'My stuff' and downloaded correctly.

  • Album artwork does not download, album artwork does not download

    i have windows 7 album artwork does not download even new stuff what could be happening?

    It's possible your album artwork isn't there and cannot be obtained as this album no longer appears to be offered for purchase by itunes.  Unless I'm overlooking it, when I go to the itunes store and enter "Santana", "Carlos Santana", or "Food For Thought", nothing comes up.  I'm thinking if this is an album no longer for sale through itunes, then you won't be able to get that album artwork the way previously have.  Unfortunately, I'm not saavy enough to know if it's possible to get the album artwork via another means.  But maybe someone else reading this post is. 

  • My apps will not download to ipad2 this is something that has just recently happened.Have switched the pad on and off holding buttons down but it makes no difference.Has anyone got the solution to this problem Thank you.

    My apps will not download to iPad 2 This is something that has just recently happened. Have tried re-booting but that makes no difference .
    Has anyone got the answer to this problem please or do I need to take it into an Apple store Thanking you.

    If all of that stuff checks out - and iTunes is telling you that the apps have been downloaded to the iPad - try this.
    Connect your iPad to your computer and launch iTunes. Right click on your iPad name on the left side of iTunes under devices and select Transfer Purchases from the pop up menu. Then sync with iTunes again. Don't eject the iPad yet. If you still don't see the apps on the iPad - click on the Apps Tab in the iTunes window on the right and see if they show up on any of the iPad screens. If they do - make sure that all of the apps are selected (checked) to sync - (checkmarks in the boxes next to the app names) - check to make sure that the Sync Apps heading is checked and as well and then sync again. You may have to click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes if the apps were not selected to sync.

  • I am getting the following message "safari could not download the file (440MB) because there is not enough disk space.  disk utility says i have 249.8 GB of available disk space.  any suggestions as to what is the problem would be appreciated

    i am getting the following message "safari could not download the file (440 MB) because there is not enough disk space.  please delete files or download to another disk."  when i check system information it tells me i have 249.82 GB of disk space available.  any suggestions as to what i can do to resolve this problem.

    don
    thanks for your suggestion.  that is the same advice that i got from the geek squad at the local apple store.
    i did what he instructed but it did not work.  i have since called apple support twice regarding the problem.  they had me start the computer in safe mode, going into the library and deleting a phlist file (i think) do a repair disk permissions, do a repair disk, empty the cache, and finally the last guy told me to unplug the computer from the wall socket and restart.
    when i mentioned the advice you and the apple store guy gave me they sort of poo pooed it saying that was done when they did all this other stuff.
    i am now waiting for the download to be completed to see if unplugging the computer had any effect.
    thanks again for your kindness in answering my concern.

  • Safari could not download the file -there is not enough free disk space

    I've tried downloading Windows Media Viewer, StuffIt Expander, and Adobe Reader however when I do I receive an error message as follows (example is for the StuffIt Expander -similar message for the other programs): Safari could not download the file "nstuffitexp12.01.dmg" because there is not enough free disk space.
    There is PLENTY of free disk space on my hard drive. The hard drive has 20 GB of Used space and 129 GB of Available space.
    A few simple fixes I've tried, that did not help: I cleared my Cache, I emptied my Trash, I restarted the computer. (sorry, I'm a Mac novice -not sure what else to try)
    What's wrong? How do I download these files??
    I would like to open Window Media Viewer files (.wmv) and Adobe Reader files (.pdf) so I need these programs on my computer.
    So as a secondary question, is there a program for Macs better suited to open and view .wmv and .pdf files?
    Please help with my download / free disk space problem, this is driving me crazy (for hours now). Thank you in advance for your assistance!!

    Mac OS X can open pdf files fine without Adobe's bloatware, they open by default in TextEdit - the whole of OS X's display system is actually based around pdf technology so it's easy for the system to integrate pdf tools. There are alternative tools available on MacUpdate but for reading TextEdit is fine.
    wmv files should be opened with the Flip4Mac Quicktime plugin, Microsoft no longer support their own player on Mac and even supply the F4M plugin from their own download pages.
    For Stuffit files (which are thankfully much rarer these days) I'd use The Unarchiver instead of Allume's fat cat.
    To fix the other problem you could try changing your download location in Safari preferences, General - it may be that the location you are downloading to has the problem. You can pick anywhere you like just to test it out.

  • CAN NOT DOWNLOAD 7.5

    Okay-it's official. I have tried everything that everyone has posted on here to try and download 7.5 and it WILL NOT download. Says that I need quicktime installed. I already have quicktime installed. I am not very computer savvy, therefore I am getting very frustrated. I just got a Nano that I can not use b/c apparently it requires 7.5, which I can not get! Can someone----ANYONE-please HELP ME!!

    Safari is part of OS X 10.7.5, and your downloads should be via  > Software Update...
    Can you provide some details on why you're trying to download Safari?  Did Safari get deleteed from the dock or from the /Applications folder?  Is Safari failing somehow?
    There are ways to re-load Safari using the standard updates, if so.  That usually involves re-applying the combo update kits, but I'd not start with that as a suggestion without knowing a little more about what's causing you to seek to re-download Safari...
    And FWIW, and this may well be obvious to you, but — based solely on your phrasing, as I don't know how familiar you are with this stuff — recognize that sites claiming to offer {Safari or other web browsers, video codecs, flash players, system performance accellerators, anti-virus software,  cache cleaners, games, whatever} can be distributing malware for OS X.  Once the tool is downloaded and installed and authenticated, then the tool can do whatever it wants.  Put another way, please don't try downloading Safari from anywhere.  Please get Safari only from the Apple web site.

  • Overdrive app will not download on my MacBookPro

    Overdrive app will not download on my MacBookPro.  The old icon appears and now the overdrive page is fozen and locked on my screen.  I have a book from the digital library ready to go but when you open it, it says file corrupt.
    nancee

    Other is weird stuff and usually decreases when the iPod is synced. Based on iPad experience, frequently storage space on the iPad is not reclaimed (even though it says it is available) when items are deleted via the iPad. The storage space is reclaimed upon syncing. Maybe the same applies to the iPod.

  • Why can I not download something from a web page?

    This is probably a stupid question, but I am totally new to this.
    This probably is not the appropriate place to ask, but is there a way to download a .exe that I need for a clients laptop (in the field) onto my iphone and then USB it to the laptop? I'm pretty sure about the USB part, but I was told by AT&T today that the iphone will not download programs like that from a web page. I do not want to run them on the iphone, just transfer them to a PC.
    Maybe I should return the phone.
    Thanks, your help is very much appreciated.
    David.

    The iPhone doesn't allow downloading of stuff (except saving of Pictures). It also doesn't allow you to take stuff off via the USB...there is no disk access to the phone, it is not a thumb drive. It is a closed and protected file system that requires iTunes to sync stuff to or remove...sorry.

  • Preorder not downloading yet showing as purchased

    Just wondering, my Preorder which is showing as purchased for "Get Your Heart On!: The Second Coming" is not downloading and also itunes took 3.87 out of my store credit that was spent on a vanilla mastercard. I want that money back please. I need it to buy some of the GYHO stuff I don't already have.
    I'm feeling a little upset about this cause it was an itunes gift card and I got very angry when I saw I had only 21.13 in my account.
    The aformentioned purchases on that card were:
    Album - Wild Life - Hedley - I'm suspicious that money for this was taken from my gift card
    Rock N' Roll by Avril Lavinge - money was taken for this from my itunes gift card
    Here's To Never Growing Up by Avril Lavinge - money was taken for this from my itunes gift card
    Let Me Go (Ft. Chad Kroeger) by Avril Lavinge - money was taken for this from my itunes gift cardf
    On the itunes gift card:
    604 Records: Bundled Up - Album
    Thousand Mile Christmas by Matt Webb - song
    Various songs from A 604 Records Christmas
    Speechless (SONG) by Halfway to Hollywood
    I am on a school computer and have already emailed Apple regarding a missing preorder. Please give me this money back if money was taken from me to download Wild Life using store credit when In fact, I still have the vanilla mastercard I bought the album on and the three Avril songs. I don't r emember any other purchases.
    I need this 3.87 back so I can purchase atleast SOME of GYHO2 if it turns out the money isn't there for it!
    Someone help me calm down about this please. I'm 17 and my mom bought me the gift card and the vanilla mastercard at seperate times.

    Same issue for me & it's really annoying!
    I'll click buy & itunes will say it's downloading & once finished it disappears from the ether.  If I click buy again, it will give me the usual 'youve already purchased this item' box, and always seems to download successfully the second time!
    I can see this being a real problem if I purchase a track with multiple versions & on the second time of clicking buy, I choose a different version by mistake - then getting charged twice.

  • Movie purchases not downloading

    Hi i have been on my computer for a couple of hours now just trying to figure out what the problem is.. i have a prepaid itunes card and i purchased a tv show and a movie off of itunes. the problem is is that its not downloading because something keeps popping up that says there was an error in downloading this file. the disk you are attempting to use is full deleting files and emptying the recycle bin would free up space. im confused as to what disk its even talking about!!! someone please help me this is very frustrating!!

    It's talking about your hard drive. You have too many files on it and there isn't enough room to store the movie you're attempting to download. You're going to need to do some "spring cleaning" and delete a bunch of stuff before continuing.
    To give you any indication of what you need to delete, a 2-hour movie is about 1.5 GB.

  • Do i lose any stuff like downloads if i hard reset my ipad 3?

    hi people. i need some advice. my ipad 3 is frozen. cant even slide to unlock. read online that i can hard reset it but i am afraid i will lose stuff like downloads etc. my question is, will i lose stuff?

    No. You will not lose any content at all. I use this when I have issues on my iPad.
    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.
