Updates stopping halfway through

Hey everyone,
I'm trying to get the "GarageBand Instruments and Apple Loops" update for GarageBand which is 1.2 gb all together. The problem that I'm getting is that the update quits halfway through and when I try to do the update again it starts over. I think that I'm only getting this problem because my internet is as slow as it is but I'm not sure. Shouldn't it always be able to continue where it left off? Also, is there any other way I can get ahold of this update?

Then, http://www.apple.com/support/mac/app-store/contact.html?form=account

Windows 7 - Downloads stopping halfway through

I recently downloaded windows 7 and it is running well on my computer. However, itunes will not complete downloads (I was testing with a video podcast) - they start and then stop halfway through, and give error 3259. I have run the connectivity diagnostic, checked my firewall, uninstalled and reinstalled itunes and it still doesn't work. My anti virus program is AVG - could this be affecting the downloads? Is there anything else that I can do?

Very similar issue for me. I copied my Vista profile to my server and installed Windows 7 Pro. Reinstalled all apps, copied data from old profile back into new one. iTunes loaded with everything EXACTLY as it was before (right down to playcount on songs and everything). For several days, no problem downloading video podcasts. A few days ago, that changed. Out of the blue, it would disconnect me 50-80% of the way through the download and give me error 3259 (& 9006 once). I've read online how it's due to firewall settings, antivirus and old iTunes. I was running iTunes 9.0.1 and it would not permit me to update to 9.0.2 so I downloaded it and installed on my own. Still have the problem. The firewall whitelisted iTunes and I opened up recommended ports as well. No change. I'm using AVG free so it doesn't have a firewall. With Vista, I used McAfee but then I had Windows 7 working fine with AVG and allowing downloads until this sudden change.
The recommended fixes DO NOT work. Changing firewall settings changes nothing. The antivirus has no firewall and no settings for any kind of whitelisting of iTunes anyways. Updating iTunes changes nothing. I can still download the podcasts manually through Firefox or using my Mac Mini running OS X Server (10.5). Given how it worked at one time, nothing changed, then it suddenly stopped, I'm at a loss.
I did get two to download today but I changed nothing before they started and then the third in line to download failed.
I haven't been on Apple discussions lately but since it is a forum, my background is entirely IT. It's how I make my living (troubleshooting in general). It's possible I have overlooked something but given the recommended fixes out there so far and all the variations on them that I have tried, it is unlikely. The issue must be caused by something other than firewall settings, antivirus or iTunes version. If anyone has any suggestions, I'm open. I'm getting tired of using Windows LiveSync to keep podcasts updated on this Windows 7 laptop.
Any help finding the actual fix for this problem is greatly appreciated.

Ipod stopping halfway through a song and restarting

my 1st gen. ipod stops halfway through a song and restarts. but it doesn't do this with all songs, just some. i updated the songs from my ipod onto it again, then manually ejected it, but nothing is working..
HELP!!

Try reseting it by holding both Menu and Center buttons down untill the Apple Logo pops up(you my have to do this a couple times for it to work). Or you can restore its factory settings and put the songs back on the iPod. But if that doesen't work try calling this number Apple Disability Solutions (800) 767-2775 and see if you can get yourself further help.

Delete the current copies and then download again (free) from your purchased history. If the problem persists contact iTunes Store support staff through the report a problem links in your account history.

Audio stops halfway through video recordings

I used my new iPhone a couple of times to record something last night and now when I'm playing back the videos the audio stops halfway through.
Can anyone tell me why this is and if there's any way of restoring all of the original sound?
Thanks

Glad to know someone else has experienced this bug. I had the audio cut out midway through a recording, and stay silent through a number of subsequent "takes". It came back the next day and I haven't had any trouble since. Still, I'd like to know how to avoid this problem, or if it's just a random bug.
I first thought I might have inadvertently pressed some button muting the microphone, but there really doesn't seem to be any control over the sound in the video recording function.

Updated my iMac to mountain lion, had iCloud problems so I turned off iCloud. Then my software updates stopped coming through. Turned iCloud back on but still not getting updates even when checking manually. Help Greg0954

I updated my imac to osx mountain lion. Had trouble with icloud affecting my itunes so I turned off iclouds.
Then my automatic software updates stopped coming through. Even when I check for them manually by
clicking on software update it acts like it's checking for about one second then says "no updates available".
It's been months since I've got any updates, used to get them every week or two.
Could turning off icloud have affected the necessary contacts ? Please help,
Greg0954

I think all these problems are related, but might try this fo SWUPD...
If you check for software updates using the App Store in OS X 10.8 and get "NSURLErrorDomain error -1100" the problem may be with your Software Update preferences. This is particularly likely if you were using a custom Apple Software Update server. To solve the problem, quit the App Store, move the following two files (if present) to the trash, restart, and only then rerun App Store updates:
/Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist
/Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist.lockfile

Download stopped halfway through

My song stopped downloading halfway through and just keeps saying retry. I just want my song!

Welcome to the Apple Community Jessica.
Try deleting the problematic file (electing to remove original file if/when prompted) and then re-downloading the file from the iTunes store.
You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option from the Quick Links section in the top right corner of the iTunes homepage in your iTunes application on your computer.
You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option which is revealed in the iTunes app on your iOS device by tapping the more button at the bottom of the screen.
If the problem re-occurs, select the content which is causing a problem and use the 'Report a problem' button in Your Purchase History using your computer.

My tape stops halfway through thiking it's done. It lies. help?

Ok, I'm pretty sure I"ve got a timecode break. I was capturing using "Capture Now" because I didn't feel like logging and halfway through the tape stops. I notice that there are no longer timecode numbers. ok, that shouldn't be a problem I thinks, I'll just do some more Capture Now-ing to get through.
Wrong
The tape refuses to play past the time code break. Both my deck, a JVC SR-DVM600 and a GL2 seem to think that this timecode break is the end of the tape and refuse to continue.
Anyway to imbed some timecode onto the tape? Am I going to be completely screwed here? I really cant say.
Help?
Power Mac G5 2.0 Mac OS X (10.4.9) Final Cut Pro 5.0

Dub your original tape with the missing timecode, and make sure that the deck recording the dub is set to generate NEW timecode, then capture your bad clips from the dubbed tape with the new timecode. (I think Brian was basically telling you the same thing).
I had the same problem a few weeks ago - it was caused by the internal battery in one of two cameras on a shoot going bad. At first timecode was just momentarily dropping out, and then it quit altogether a few minutes later - despite the fact that the timecode was jam synched and fed from another camera. If your footage was shot on your GL2, I'd replace the internal battery.
Good luck!

Podcast stops halfway through

I just started my own podcast a couple months ago. I make it myself using GarageBand, then I upload it to my server and update the RSS feed. When I run the song in iTunes before I upload it it's fine, and when I download the file that's on my server via HTTP, it's also perfectly fine. But, when I download it via iTunes by updating my podcast, it only gives me some of the file. It abruptly stops partway through. It also only loads a partial list of chapters. The funny thing is that it's the right size (in MB) and it has the right length according to iTunes, it's just that the second half of it is dead air.

I just had a similar experience yesterday... I connected the iPod to my iMac, and it froze during synching (a feature I only just started using after manual management). Force-quitting didn't work: the arrow wouldn't disappear next to the dock icon, even though the finder box registered as though the program had quit. I couldn't shut down or re-start, and could only get out of this by holding down the off-switch on the back of the computer. There was no way to stop the iPod from synching, since the synch process starts automatically as soon as it's connected-- that is to say, before you can get to the iPod menu each time to stop the synching, it's already under way.
I called Apple support, and though I'm not under warranty any more, the guy did help me. The only way out of it that he could see was for me to disconnect the iPod while the computer was off, start iTunes, delete all the podcasts for the program whose files were freezing, then hook up the iPod again and hit "restore". I did this, and it worked-- but I lost all the podcasts of that show that I hadn't listened to yet. I could only recover them by going to the radio page and downloading them individually.
Does anyone know anything about this? Is the fault with the podcast files and Mac compatability, or is there something wrong with the program? The phone support person said that podcasts aren't produced by iTunes and so there can be issues, but I also know that the radio show in question always advertises its podcasts as being available through iTunes, so I wonder.

Sound stops halfway through songs.

With a group of songs downloaded during a short period of time (within a week,) the sound will completely cut off halfway through, but the song will keep playing. These are all songs downloaded with ITunes. It even happens on my computers iTunes. I've synced a bunch since then, and it has not resolved the problem at all. Help?

Basic troubleshooting steps clearly outlined in the User Guide are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as NEW.
If you've been through ALL these steps and you still have problems, then you'll need to bring your phone into Apple.

Stopped halfway through update now cant do anything

Hi - Hope someone can help me, I'm way out of my depth with this situation...
Quite a few months ago I had an iphone 4 pickpocketed, and someone kindly donated me theirs as the button had stopped working etc, wasnt much use to them. I hadn't done one sync yet as I was really only using it for the camera, wi-fi etc..
However now i'd like to use it, and I will restore it with MY LAST BACKUP WITH MY OLD (STOLEN) PHONE. However before I could do this, I understand I had to update the iOS on the new one ( as was still on 5.1.1) and my stolen iPhone had a more recent iOS.
I started doing the update by connecting it with itunes and clicking update, however it stopped and said error, " iphone blah blah couldnt be updated , an unknown error occured (27)". Ive referred to what 27 means in the list of errors by number but it doesn't really help.
Also I then saw that I would have to restore to factory settings to update, i'm not sure if I did this or not - I might have clicked it but then clicked cancel pretty much straight after as i read it would erase everything. I had saved most things i needed like notes etc, then remember photos and vids hadn't been backed up, so i cancelled (if I started, i really can't remember!)
Now the problem is that I can't get access to the phone, it's kind of stuck mid software update or mid restore (to factory settings). I get just the apple logo, if I turn on and off I get the logo telling me to connect to itunes, I can't seem to get anything other than this - I want to back up the pics/vids and then restore to factory default, before restoring from a back up of my old iphone (stolen one)
Hope all that is clear, They 're both iphone 4s, this new one is GSM model, no idea what the original one was (if important), it's the latest iOS on my mac laptop
I'm nowhere near an apple store so a Genius appointment isn't an option for now :-(

Hi dj_rag,
From the sound of your post, it appears as if you are attempting to restore your iPhone and it is unable to do so. It seems like you have received an error code and have already viewed the suggestions located in this article:
Resolve iOS update and restore errors - Apple Support
http://support.apple.com/en-us/TS3694
You may also want to try the steps located in this article:
If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201263
Just remember that the steps in the first article that are specific to your error code that you are receiving are going to be the best possible steps for resolving this issue:
Check for hardware issues
Related errors: 1, 3, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 16, 20, 21, 23, 26, 27, 28, 29, 34, 35, 36, 37, 40, 1000, 1002, 1004, 1011, 1012, 1014, 1667, or 1669.
These errors mean that your device or computer may have a hardware issue that's preventing the update or restore from completing.
Check that your security software and settings aren't preventing your device from communicating with the Apple update server.
Then try to restore your iOS device two more times while connected with a cable, computer, and network you know are good.
Confirm that your security software and settings are allowing communication between your device and update servers.
If you still see the error message when you update or restore, contact Apple support.
Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities. Have a good one!

6.0.2 download stops halfway through ?

I have not had firefox before, I was told by ebay to download it as i ma haveing problems with ebay being very slow and freezing? I went onto aol and googled firfox then clicked on a download for forefox 6.0.2 it asked me to run it i clicked it it then asked me to click on my computer name so i did it then stoped i have left it but it has stopped running ? what did i do wrong?

Firefox does use mirror sites, so the downloads can come from more than one site address. You will normally get an official version. I suppose there could however be something unusual, for instance you could already have a copy of Firefox that itself did not come from an official site.
I would suggest you upgrade by downloading a copy of the Firefox 6 installer from http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/fx/?from=getfirefox
* see also [[updating firefox]]
You could even consider a clean re-install, but if you do that note to retain the profile folder and files, if you delete files only delete the files in the Programs folder. Should you choose to delete from Windows OS control Panel, do NOT use the option to remove settings, however that is worded, or you will loose all bookmarks passwords etc.
