URL could not be found errors suddenly occuring, again

Hello Apple iTunes U staff and users,
I'm writing on Oct 22, 2010. This past April, a staffperson in our Pharmacy school posted to these discussion forums the following issue: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2410734&tstart=0
We're now getting reports from students in a different department who access iTunes U in a different way (through a Blackboard building block) of the same issue. The last time, the issue cleared up within about 24 hours. I'm still monitoring the issue this time to see whether it's cleared up yet or not, but I know it lasted a day or two at least, possibly more, and still may be occurring.
Basically, when trying to download certain files from an iTunes U course page, an exclamation point will appear to the left of the file in the iTunes U section of the user's iTunes library. Clicking on the exclamation point brings up a pop-up window with an error message that says:
There was a problem downloading "<title>". The URL "<address>" could not be found on the server.
We'd like an explanation from Apple of why this happens and any advice on how to avoid it. I've found that I can get the files to download (after receiving this error) by going back to the course in iTunes U and clicking "Get Tracks," but this creates duplicate collections in the iTunes U section of the user's library and is not a good solution long-term. Thanks

Duncan,
Thanks for your reply. I just did another test and received the same error again. The test I did was trying to download a file titled "He And She" from https://deimos.apple.com/WebObjects/Core.woa/BrowsePrivately/su.edu.2466338216.0 2466338224
The indvidual file URL is https://deimos.apple.com/WebObjects/Core.woa/Feed/su.edu.2466338216.02466338225/ 5587FC0A-A595-D5CB-7503-1E3613C73F40%40su.edu/004cc1f41482b5988a640b3500cad659d9 1f5221714185a939b58276a99fe82376bd99ac16
The same is happening with multiple other files in the same course page; I have not yet tested files in other course pages.

  • URL could not be found errors suddenly occuring

    Our iTunes U site has started to experience errors accessing files that previously worked okay.
    Trying to download some files gives the users the error message, "The URL ... could not be found on the server".
    Within each course, some files still work fine while others have started to have this issue.
    Has anyone run into this issue before?
    thanks,
    ~Leigh

    We're also seeing this problem. For us it's not limited to recent videos however. Some videos download fine while others get the "URL ... could not be found on the server" error.
    For example the following downloads fine:
    http://deimos3.apple.com/WebObjects/Core.woa/Feed/santafe.edu.1701130273.0170113 0275
    However this video gives the error:
    http://deimos3.apple.com/WebObjects/Core.woa/Feed/santafe.edu.1701130273.0170113 0275
    We noticed the problem late yesterday afternoon.

  • "The attempted operation failed. An object could not be found" error when double clicking on an ics file

    Operation System: Windows 8 Pro
    System Type: 64-bit Operating System
    Office: MS Office Professional Plus 2013
    I am getting "The attempted operation failed. An object could not be found" error when I double click on an .ics file to an appointment to my calender. My outlook.com account's data file is set as default and this error only occurs if
    that is the default data file. I thought that maybe my profile is corrupted. So, I opened up a new profile with the below steps and only add my outlook.com account there:
    1-) Open up the Control Panel and go to Mail section
    2-) Click "Show Profiles"
    3-) Click "Add" and give a name to your profile.
    4-) Configure your outlook.com account (with Auto Account setup, not manual steps)
    5-) Finally, set that profile to be used always.
    Then, I opened up the Outlook 2013 and clicked on the .ics file to add that appointment but got the same error.
    Is this a known issue or specific to me?
    Thanks!

    yes, I have the same problem.
    The workaround of saving the ICS file and then importing it into the current calendar
    works, 
    but the ICS calendar
     displays in other section, NOT in the section of my old events.
    why  ??

  • Err 404 The URL could not be found on the server

    I attempted to purchase a song and got this error message, error 404 the URL could not be found on the server. Now every time I download any song, it attempts to find the song and gives me the same error message. I don't care if I lose the song. I would just like to make it stop trying to download it.
    Any ideas?

    I've the same problem, and I've reported for the problem, but I received an non-reply, such as "do you have a good internet connection?", etc...

  • Crystal Report Pick List - "Table ADM1 could not be found" Error

    Hi,
    When preview is select in sales order, we select pick list gets error.
    Crystal Report Window Forms Viewer:
    "Table ADM1 could not be found"
    Error in File Temp {   .........} .rpt
    The table could not be found"
    If I login remotely , then log into SAP as this user I do not get an error.
    I have given user full authorisation.
    I have run Verify Database.
    I am assuming it is some database or network user access rights.
    Could anyone help on this?
    Kind Regards,
    Eric

    Report was developed and tested against a 'test' database and then imported into a 'production' database.
    Problem appears to be that when B1 connects it does not reset the login credentials for the unlinked tables such as ADM1 and OADM.
    Performing the following steps appears to solve the problem.  Not sure how many of them are really necessary.
    1. Develop and test against the test system as before.
    2. Save as a .rpt file outside B1.
    3. 'Set Datasource Location' to the appropriate B1 datasource for the production database and individually link every table as well as the data source.
    4. Save the .rpt file again.
    5. Import into the production database.
    This does not specifically address the issue where it worked when logged in to the server but not remotely.  Perhaps when logged in remotely the test database was not visible but when logged in locally it was.

  • I keep getting the "some items could not be found" error.

    I keep getting the some items could not be found error for some podcasts I downloaded then deleted. Unfortunately, now, I can't get rid of the error message. So I'm trying to search for said podcast to re-delete the entry. And it's not there. And I can't find it anywhere else. How can I fix this?

    Another user named Springbk posted a fix that worked for me as I was having the same problem today:
    I Changed my DNS settings to OpenDNS
    On a Mac go to SYSTEM PREFERENCES>NETWORK>ADVACED>DNS
    change DNS by adding ( + )
    208.67.222.222
    then
    208.67.220.220
    click okay/apply after. then try the update. after the update, just delete the two open DNS server numbers. should revert back to your old one.

  • When I tap the "download for Android" on my Android phone, I receive a "requested item could not be found" error message.

    I am attempting to install Firefox mobile on my Android phone. When I tap "download for Android" on my current browser, I receive a "requested item could not be found" error message.

    Firefox will not appear in the Market for most phones with incompatible hardware. You can check if your phone is supported here:
    https://wiki.mozilla.org/Mobile/Platforms/Android
    On some supported devices, a bug prevents Firefox from appearing in the Market. This may be related to the recent Market update. You can go to Settings/Applications and uninstall the Market update, then find and install Firefox.
    Or, if you have a supported phone, you can download the app directly from here:
    http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/mobile/releases/4.0b3/android-r7/multi/
    (Note: To download the app directly for an AT&T phone, you will have to search for instructions on "sideloading" the APK file, since AT&T disables the option to install from non-Market sources.)

  • How can i solve the vpn server could not be found error on my iphone 5s?

    how can i solve the vpn server could not be found error on my iphone 5s?

    FWIW, back at work we have a Palo Alto Networks firewall and VPN. Have configured both the iPhone and the iPad with the pertinent details.
    If I connect while in the premises (same LAN), connection is instantaneous and flawless.
    If I connect while away, no matter which external network, the first attempt to connect ALWAYS fails with a NOT FOUND error. Yet if I try again immediately after, it ALWAYS connects with no further issues.

  • Deleting Duplicates creates "original file could not be found" error

    I am not running iTunes 8.2.1.6 and trying to delete duplicates that were created as I tried to move my iTunes Library to other drives. Now I have many duplicates - sometimes 3-4 of the same song. If I delete them I begin to get "original file could not be found" error when trying to play the one version I kept.
    Is there some magic to which one I should keep?

    iTunes doesn't help you distinguish between duplicates that are two identical copies of the same file or two separate references to the one original file. If the later is the case and you delete any reference allowing the source file to be deleted then ALL other references to the file become invalid. You can either check the properties of each file before deleting and choose whether to keep or delete accordingly or use itunesremoveduplicates from Teridon's iTunes Scripts.

  • TS1702 "App could not be found" error

    I erased all data on iphone. Later when restoring, most of the apps are not syncing back with "because the app could not be found" error. HELLPP!!!

    I assume that you are trying to sync them from your computer's iTunes ? If so do the actual files exist on your computer and the entries in your computer's iTunes aren't pointing to files that no longer exist on it ? If so then you should be able to delete the iTunes entries and then re-download them from the store : re-downloading.

    I forgot my passcode, then I decided to restore through Itune but it says iphone 3 could not be restored error 1015 occurred. what should I do?  

    Was the computer used to jailbreak a different iOS device? Are you trying to forcibly install a version of iOS other than the current version for your device? (4.2.1 for the 3G, 6.0.1 for the 4 and 4S, 6.0.2 for the 5).
    Those are the only other reasons you would get that error other than an extremely rare hardware failure.

  • The web application at [URL] could not be found.

    Hi,
    I am trying to run a simple code like finding all the users in the SharePoint site.
    But I am seeing this error constantly no matter what I do!!
    The Web application at [https://xxxxxx] could not be found. Verify that you have typed the URL correctly. If the URL should be serving existing content, the system administrator may need to add a new request URL mapping to the intended application.
    I've looked into all the answers on the forums but still stuck with this error.
    I am a beginner in SharePoint, and I am really not sure about the AAM and IIS settings that needs to be set inorder to get rid of this error.
    If someone could point me in right direction that targets beginners that would be really helpful.
    Also, I noticed that my IIS is blank on the dev server that I am working on with Visual Studio and SharePoint installed on it. 
    Is this something that is causing this error?
    Thanks

    Note: you need to enter the SharePoint site URL 
    To authenticate:
    f you are connecting to office 365 then use the following code:
    using (srcContext = new ClientContext(txtUrlFrom.Text))
    SecureString passWord = new SecureString();
    foreach (char c in txtPasswordFrom.Text.ToCharArray()) passWord.AppendChar(c);
    srcContext.Credentials = new SharePointOnlineCredentials(txtUserNameFrom.Text, passWord);
    if you are using on premise SharePoint 2013 use this code:
    using (srcContext = new ClientContext(txtUrlFrom.Text))
    NetworkCredential credentials = new NetworkCredential(txtUserNameFrom.Text, txtPasswordFrom.Text);
    Example to retrieve data:
    Web srcWeb = srcContext.Web;
    List srcList = srcWeb.Lists.GetByTitle(srcLibrary);
    ListItemCollection col = srcList.GetItems(new CamlQuery());
    srcContext.Load(srcList.RootFolder);
    srcContext.Load(srcList.RootFolder.Folders);
    srcContext.Load(col);
    srcContext.ExecuteQuery();
    to retrieve users:
    Private void GetData(object obj)
    MyArgs args = obj as MyArgs;
    try
    if (args == null)
    return; // called without parameters or invalid type
    using (ClientContext clientContext = new ClientContext(args.URL))
