Video download starts over repeatedly...

Yesterday I bought Babylon 5, season 1, and I'm on a sloooooow connection, so I paused all the episodes except the first one (1 hour 33 minutes of video, iTunes said it'd take about 12 hours to download). I went to work and came home that night, and it was almost done. It got to the part where it said "processing file" and then started over from the beginning. I didn't have time to mess around with it then, so I let it download again while I was asleep, and then this morning it did the same thing. It's on its 3rd time through right now.
Is anyone else having this problem?

Don't download with Software Update. Use SU to find out what updates need to be applied, make a list, then go to
<http://support.apple.com/downloads/>
and download what you need; eg, the 10.6.8 Combo update is here
<http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399>
You can use whatever browser and download manager you normally use. Once downloaded, install it as any other software.
However, if the connection is bad and slow, there's a chance that the file will be corrupted during download. You might have to try several times. Use https instead of http, and compare the downloaded file's checksum with Apple's. Here's how

  • Downloads starting over

    is there anyway to make it so downloads will automatically pause when interrupted? i've attempted to download an ipad update about 5 times now.  i'm on a very slow DSL and the 800 megs is taking about 3 hours, and something keeps interrupting it and i've had to start from the beginning. the computer going to sleep was the first culprit, then after i disabled that a windows update rebooted the computer, then the laptop got shut etc. 
    its hard to keep a big download uninterrupted for several hours, so i was wondering if it was normal for the download to have to start from the beginning every time or if it should be "pausing" to be resumed later.  im on itunes 10.7 attempting to download ipad 5.1.1

    I am trying to download a 400mb file for work from a secure server. If the download is incomplete, and I put the computer to sleep, when I start up again and try to resume downloading, it starts completely over.
    Many (most?) web servers don't support resuming of downloads, so if you stop the download in any way, it will have to start over again. The web is not the same as iTunes.
    And recently I got almost completely finished--about 390mb--when I clicked on the downloads stack to check on it, and it started over again.
    What did you click on? Did you hit a control, like the stop button, by mistake?

  • Why do videos always start over from the beginning? A bug??

    Hi,
    I just did the update and still have the same issue where videos always start from the beginning, when I WANT them to start where they left off. I went into Settings>Video>Start Playing and selected "Where Left Off",  but that didn't help. Is this a bug?? I want it to act as it did on my 3G where I can exit the middle of a video and it will start from that point next time I enter the video... Any ideas???

    I have the same problem, not only with videos but with my playlist as well. Everything seems to restart from the beginning.

  • Movie Download starting over and over

    So now I'm downloading Django Unchained for like 3-4 hours and every time it hits 2 GB it just starts downloading again. I already deleted the temporary download files and i also changed my internet security option level to extremely insecure so that everything can pass, but still it justs starts downloading again and again without an error

    PS: I also have 100 GB of free space on my hard drive and I'm posting here because I waited for the Live chat a whole hour but nobody came.

  • Video download did not complete

    I purchased a TV show on Friday night, but my laptop locked up and I had to shut it down before the download was complete. Part of the file is on my computer, but it is corrupted and I get an error message when I try to either access or "Check for Purchases". How do I re-download?

    Go look for a folder called "Downloads" in your iTunes Music folder. If there is such a folder, look for files that would be the partial download and delete those, so that the download starts over from the beginning. Then try again using the "Check for Purchases" command under the iTunes Advanced menu.
    Hope this helps.

  • My video download gets about 2/3 of the way through, stops, and starts over

    My video download gets about 2/3 of the way through, stops, and starts over (as if I had never downloaded anything). I have DSL, and it's the only video downloading. Why does it stop and start all over again, over and over? It's really bumming out my iTunes experience. Oh, and I'm running XP, not XPpro.

    Let it go... these DL's take forever, depending on the spped of your connection and the traffic on the servers.
    If by morning it is still sitting there restart and the DL should pick up from where it left off.

    I started downloading a video from iTunes last night on my ipad when my wifi dropped out. Once I'd reconnected my wifi I tried to recommence the download but it kept saying that download was not available at this time. I then tried the steps in iTunes help but got the same message. Finally, I deleted the video (the part that had downloaded) from my video section and tried to start the download again from the start. However, when I go to iTunes it's still trying to download the original and even this morning I'm still getting the error message. Any ideas what I could do to get the video downloaded? I currently only have access to my ipad. Thanks.

    I also have Jolly's problem. I found the iMovie 9.0.9 folder and tried to launch the older version of iMove. It would not launch. I removed all of the iMovie preferences from the Preferences folder, removed iMove 10 from the applications folder, and restarted my Mac. iMove 9.0.9 still won't launch and I can't access my videos created with the older version of iMovie. Is there a way to uninstall iMovie 10 and reinstall iMovie 9.0.9?

    How to report an issue with Your iTunes Store purchase

  • Previously downloaded songs stop and start over during re-download.

    I have several questions, and I'm hoping that someone can help me out with at least one of them. I have a 4th generation iPod Touch, and recently I had to start syncing to another computer after all of the USB ports on my computer stopped working out of nowhere (help on that issue would also be appreciated). Everything seemed to be working fine, I was manually managing my music and burned some CDs to transfer to my iPod. They transferred smoothly, and then afterwards I moved all of the tracks on the computer onto an external hard drive and deleted them from iTunes because the memory was getting too full. I hadn't even plugged the iPod back in or synced it wirelessly after that, but out of nowhere all of the music from the CDs and 78 tracks that I purchased on the iPod just deleted. I got all but one of the purchased songs back, and with that one, when I re-download it the meter fills almost all the way and starts over (this is all being done from the iPod itself). It has been doing this for several hours. In attempt to move all of the music from the CDs back, I took the music from the external hard drive and manually moved it to my iPod through iTunes. When I look at the iPod in iTunes, it appeared as if all of my music was back. On the device, however, the CDs still weren't there. I eventually gave up hope and ejected my iPod, only to realize that some of my music purchased on the iPod had lost its cover art. In effort to fix this (and this has worked before), I erased all of said songs and started to re-download from the Purchased list in iTunes (on the device). Now, all of the songs in the process of being re-downloaded have a gray music note next to them in the Downloads list and either say "Download error", act like the song mentioned earlier, or do nothing at all. I really just want my purchased music back, so if you know anything about the issue or have experienced something similar, please help me!

    I suggest for you to add all the songs to your iTunes library. Once everything is in place, sync it to your iPod. You may also try wireless syncing as well.

  • When I downloaded firefox someone else's bookmarks and homepage are there, it is a used computer. How can I "start over" with firefox?

    I have tried deleting firefox from my computer entirely (I have a macbook). Then when I download it again, much later, it still acts like it knows what bookmarks and homepage I want. These were obviously set by someone else, and I want it to be fresh, I want to start over with a new firefox. I bought the computer used, and apparently firefox recognizes it as having been downloaded before and automatically adds stuff to it. It is annoying!!

    The simplest method will be to create a new profile and delete the old one. User information such as bookmarks is stored in a profile folder. You can create and remove profiles by using the profile manager. First use the profile manager to create a new profile, then use it to delete the old profile.
    For details on using the profile manager see the [[managing profiles]] article. An alternative site that can help is http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_Manager

    Check USB connections
    If there’s an issue with the USB port, cable, dock, or hub, or if the device becomes disconnected during restore, try troubleshooting the USB connection, then troubleshooting your security software.
    Common errors: 13, 14, 1600-1629, 1643-1650, 2000-2009, 4000, 4005, 4013, 4014, 4016, “invalid response”, and being prompted to restore again after a restore completes.
    To narrow down the issue, you can also change up your hardware:
    Use another USB cable.
    Plug your cable into a different USB port on your computer.
    Try a different dock connector (or no dock).
    Add (or remove) a USB hub between your device and computer.
    Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, with no routers, hubs, or switches.
    If you see your error after changing your USB connections, continue to the next section to troubleshoot your hardware.

  • Partially downloaded TV show episode, suddenly starts over...

    I am living in Uganda, accessing the internet with a SLLOOOWWW dial up connection. I have purchased a season pass to a TV show, and have been downloading available episodes. Twice now, a show has been excruciatingly close to complete (after over 12 hours of downloading), then suddenly it seems that all the data is lost, and it starts over from scratch. Suddenly I'm back at 0MB of 493.6MB - 16 hours remaining. Ouch. Anyone know where the partially downloaded episodes are saved? I'm curious to know if the data was really lost...
    Any help would be much appreciated...

    I know you may not have any other options, but keep in mind that iTunes requires a broadband connection. Dial-up can cause all sorts of yuckiness.
    If downloading never seems to complete, you may want to consider the following:
    1.) Disable all anti-virus software you may have running
    2.) Disable all firewall software you may have running
    3.) Disable all web acceleration software you may have running (this is especially important for dial-up users such as yourself)
    4.) If you are connected to the internet via an internet router, please disconnect it and connect directly via your broadband modem
    Dial-up + security software can have some strange results sometimes.
    Hope this helps. Keep us updated

  • Can I make a bootable DVD from the Mavericks download. I would like to wipe my iMac and start over.

    Can I make a bootable DVD from the app store download of Mavericks. I wish to wipe my iMac clean and start over
    thanks in anticipation

    Well you can make a bootable dvd this way:
    After downloading the Install OS X Mavericks.app file from the Mac App Store, run these 12 commands in Terminal to create a Mavericks.iso file and then burn it to a dual layer DVD with Disk Utility. You may then boot up from it by holding the option key down and then install mavericks. This will not install a recovery partition. To do that, uncompress and run the script file https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/13872235/Musings/Recovery%20Partition%20Crea tor%203.7.zip
    hdiutil attach /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ Mavericks.app/Contents/SharedSupport/InstallESD.dmg -noverify -nobrowse -mountpoint /Volumes/install_app
