Weird dialog box in iTunes during podcast downloading?

Hi
Has anyone seen this weird dialog box while updating a podcast feed? I've seen it several times now, with iTunes 6.0 and 6.01. This is what I mean:

is this just a bug?

It looks like a lag in your OS completing the display of the dialog box
how many apps do you have running? does this happen all the time?
you might want to add more memory to your machine/machines..

  • ITunes 11 Podcasts downloading problem

    I subscribe severall podcasts. There's one of them, I don't know why, at the office downloads very slowly. To get it to download quickly, I am always pausing and resming the download.
    In iTunes 11 when I pause when resuming the status bar comes a little bit back (eg. when pause there's 660 kb's downloaded, when resuming it goes to 500 Kb's)!
    The other strange thing is that it dowloads more than the size of the podcast file!
    When listening This, it is always coming back and forward.
    Does anyone have the same problem?
    Please try to pause and resume a podcast download an see what happens.
    Thanks,
    Jorge

    Similar problem with iTunes 11.0.1.12 on win7. The crash seems to occur during the "file processing" part of downloading. I've tried removing the download file from the iTunes folder - it doesn't help.  Really frustrating problem. It doesn't generate any error message beyond itunes need to stop and searching for a solution (the "solution" to update iTunes is the PROBLEM - not a solution).
    I've installed VLC to play the files but it isn't iTunes and it won't sync with my ipod so... Apple people - - can't you do some simple software??? Do you really have to head towards bankruptcy again????
    Geesh the Google maps flap was bad enough!

  • Install dialog box absent after PSE 13 download to Win 8.1 PC: which Set-up.exe to run?

    PSE 13 downloaded to a Windows 8.1 PC (64 bit OS) then Windows File Explorer opened showing the contents of ‘This PC\Downloads\Package’, namely two folders ‘32 bit PhotoshopElem13’and ‘PSE 13’ having similar contents. There is no guidance as to whether to run the Set-up.exe in the first or the second of these folders.
    An installation dialog box would have been welcome with advice on the choice.
    Which Set-up.exe should be run?
    Is it necessary to keep any contents of the folder ‘This PC\Downloads\Package’ after the installation finishes and the program appears to function properly?

    Hello Mr. Tikkanen.  Thank you very much for your response.
    I remember reading something about the difficulties of USB 3.0 vs. 2.0, but it didn't occur to me to switch my mouse and keyboard plug-in.
    Unfortunately, my employer decided to buy a new Windows 7-capbable cpu this morning instead of having me install Win7 on the current cpu.  I was going to implement your suggestion today, but my copy of 7 was already shipped back by the time I got in today.
    I actually kind of want to try it anyway for the sport of it.  I promise that, if it comes to it and I'm asked to install it later, I will attempt your suggestion and update this forum with my results.
    Thank you, Mr. Tikkannen, and thanks to all you experts that search through the forums and help us get along.  It is very much appreciated.

  • ITunes 12 podcast "download all"?

    Is there a "download all" function in iTunes12 for podcasts?

    Yes I had this problem with podcasts, accidentally discovered the doubleclicking to download,  I noticed that it happened when a program downloaded more than one episode at the same time....I dont know of any other way to download other than manually.

  • I have a 3rd generation ipod nano. I upgraded to lion. I tried to buy an audio book and download it to my nano like I have done at least 50 times before. Now the dialog box states that I need an ipod touch for the same function. MacBook Pro 2008 w/ m.trac

    I have a 3rd generation ipod nano. I recently upgraded to Lion which is causing lots of issues. Aside from that, I went to the Itunes store to purchase books like I have done at least 100 times before with no problems. Now I can by the book and get it to my computer, however when I tried to download the book to my 3rd generation ipod the dialog box informed me that to download any new audiobook purchases I would need an ipod touch. My ipod nano 3rd generation serves my purposes just fine. Why should I be forced to buy something I do not want just to continue something I have always done seamlessly? I know this is more of a rant than a question but I am sure someone else out there has had this happen to them. Maybe you could share your thoughts on how to work around this issue if possible?

    I forgot to add the last obvious and crucial step I had taken - plugging a different iPod into my system. It was also not recognized. That was the final proof I needed to determine if the problem was device or system. But now what?
    I truly appreciate any help I can get!
    Thanks again...

  • I keep getting dialog box saying " The itunes Library file cannot be saved. You do not have enough access privileges for this operation"  I am the only user on this computer and only one library! how do i change access privileges please?

    hi I keep getting the dialog box " The iTunes Library file cannot be saved. You do not have enough access privileges for this operation"
    How do i  amend this  as i only have one account and one library. I cannot save new work or delete duplicate files

    A belated reply, as the problems itunes has have discouraged me from using it much. If you uncheck the "read only" box, it doesn't stay that way! Next time you use it, the box comes up checked.
    I'm still having that problem, even when I open iTunes as administrator.
    I've yet to see the answer to this problem. I use itunes mostly to download audiobooks, and I'm ready to download more, and want to save them!

  • How to get file download dialog box in IE 6.0 for .CSV files?

    In our Java application, when we download .csv file (by clicking a tool bar button or menu item) in IE 5.5, it brings up the download dialog box and when we click the open button it opens the file in a seperate browser window but after migrating to IE 6.0 it doesn't bring the download dialog box and we are not able to open the excle sheet in a new browser window.
    We tried downloading .csv file in IE 6.0 by changing its extension(such as .cs1 and .xls) even then it did not work.We also tried associating CSV type of extension with "Microsoft Excel Comma Separated Values File" in the Windows folder options (Windows Explorer->tools->folder options->file types(tab)), which did not work.
    Please respond if you have come across this kind of issue and solution for the same.
    Thanks in Advance

    This has nothing to do with Java. It's Microsoft
    setting for known file type. IE is responding to the
    setting which will automatically download known file
    type (MIME type).
    To show the "Save As" file dialog, you have to do the
    following (for each file type)
    1. open Window Explorer
    2. click on Tool-->"Folder Option"
    3. click on the "File Type" tab
    4. select the extension and then click on the
    "Advance" button
    5. Check the "Confirm open after download" checkbox
    6. Click OK
    IE should now display the "Save As" file dialog for
    that extension. Remeber, you have to to this for all
    extension you want to see a "file dialog" pop up.Unfortunately this is not the only cause. Even with this box checked, downloading java source files from the pages of The Java Tutorial causes them to open in the most recent IE - I (and others also) don't get the save/open dialog box. Java source files downloaded from (some) other websites result in the save/open dialog box. I believe that one of the security changes that MS made in IE's handling of files is the cause. The setting of content-disposition by the server appears to be the key, according to MSDN information.

  • ITunes 12: Buttons missing in dialog boxes (not visible)

    Hello.
    Since using iTunes 12 (in my case: German version) buttons like YES/NO or OK/CANCEL are not shown in smaller dialog boxes when iTunes wants to interact with the user and asks question whether to do this or to do that.
    The buttons are just not visible, the boxes are too small and they cannot be resized (= fixed size). I think this could be due to longer German texts in the dialog boxes compared to the English language version.
    The buttons are there but cannot be seen or clicked.
    Screen resolution is 1920x1200 and text zoom factor is 100% in Windows 7. Window size for these dialog boxes seems to be hard-corded and due to line breaks and longer texts in German the YES/NO buttons seem to get an unexpected carriage return moving the buttons out of the visible area.
    Please fix this!
    Kind regards,
    Argentinos

    Example: here a part of the buttons is visible but in many dialog boxes they are completely cut off.

  • Pausing or restarting Podcast downloads?

    Is there some way to pause iTunes downloads? Sometimes I need the bandwidth for other tasks and would like to be able to pause or suspend iTunes, without having to close it. Also, if you terminate iTunes during a download, you get a message that the download will have to be restarted the next time the program is run, but I haven't found any way to do that. I have several partial downloads in my Podcast directory and would like to find some way of either continuing (completing) the download, or at least start it again from the beginning.

  • Resolve File Saving Conflict Dialog Box

    Hi, I developed a new GUI for teststand. The problem is with the executable of the GUI, because at the end of the test it does not closed itself. I have to terminate the process by the TaskManager. 
    When I used the GUI instead of the executable, it appears the dialog box attached. During the test some station globals are overwritten.
    I am afreid that is the dialog box that stop the automatic closure of the exe.
    Does anyone know how is possible to disable that dialog box?
    Thanks a lot. 

    This does not have anything to do with type conflicts.  You likely have two applications that are using the TestStand Engine.  One is completing and modifying the StationGlobals.ini file.  At the same time, your second application also is modifying the StationGlobals in a different way.  If you save the second application, it will overwrite what the first application did.  So you are prompted to decide which version you want to keep.  
    This dialog occurs because there is code that calls Engine.CommitGlobalsToDisk.  This method has a parameter called "promptOnSaveConflicts" that gives the option to display this prompt.  However, I believe this method is likely called internally by the ApplicationMgr control.  I haven't found a way to have the ApplicationMgr call this function with a false parameter value.  Before shutting down your application, you could call Engine.CommitGlobalsToDisk with the false parameter and then shut down, which should make the problem go away.
    However, you do risk overwriting global data so I would examine what you are doing to see if you expect to have multiple applications modifying the globals.   If this is unexpected, you likely have a problem.  I didn't quite understand the different between your GUI and EXE or what you are trying to accomplish, so perhaps there is a better way to implement what you want to accomplish.

  • Why does it take so long for the Open, Save, or Save As Dialog Boxes to Open?

    I'm having a problem throught CS6 with the Open, Save, or Save As dialog boxes not opening for a period of time after clicking on the desired functions.  It can take over a minute just to get the Open dialog box up to browse for a file.  Eventually, the dialog boxes open, but during the time that it's trying to open, the program is unresponsive.  It is happening with all of my CS6 programs.  I have unistalled and reinstalled with no fix.  The programs are updated.  Anyone else having this trouble?  Any solutions?

    Thanks for your response.  The system is a Windows 7 64-bit system with 4GB RAM installed.  I am not trying to save anywhere in particular.  By default, it would open to the user's documents, and does eventually, but it currently just sits for about a full minute before doing anything.  This machine was saving properly when CS6 was first installed about 5 months ago. 
    I've checked for unconnected network drives. I've also renamed the Illustrator preferences file based on a reccomendation that I found elsewhere.  However, neither of these helped.
    I can provide screenshots or anything else that's needed.

    HEY GUYS I AM USING AN IPHONE  3g and when i connect my device to my laptop a dialog box appears saying that an update of 4.2 is available so went for it.after the firmware is downloaded via itunes it shows that the firmware is invalid!.please help.
    AND ALSO I HAVE HEARD THAT THE IPHONE 3G CANNOT BE UPDATED TO IOS 4.2!IS IT TRUE???
    PLEASE HELP ME.

    This means that the phone you have was software unlocked to use on any carrier, or hacked. When you installed the update it restored the lock that originaly came with your phone. Not much you can do now. Apple will not support hacked phones. You will need to find out the carrier your phone is locked to and see if they offer official unlocking, or start googling to see if you can find a way to unlock 4.2.
