Why will PE13 archive file will not download?

I have downloaded Elements13 and Premiere Element 13. Thr Premiere Elements seems fine. The Elements 13 gives me an error msg whenever I click on the "win64.exe" file. The msg states that the "Archive" file was not downloaded and must be downloaded to proceed. I tried downloading "win64.7z" again and I get the same error.

use a different browser and/or a different wired connection and/or a download manager.
or if you follow all 7 steps you can directly download a trial here: Adobe Photoshop Elements 13 Direct Download Links, Premiere too | ProDesignTools
and activate with your serial number.
if you have a problem starting the download, you didn't follow all 7 steps, or your browser does not accept cookies.
the most common problem is caused by failing to meticulously follow steps 1,2 and/or 3 (which adds a cookie to your system enabling you to download the correct version from adobe.com).
failure to obtain that cookie results in an error page being displayed after clicking a link on prodesigntools.com or initiates the download of an incorrect (eg, current) version.

Never mind.   I bought the movie through my 4S phone.

If you don't see your created file in the path that you configured then see Messages - Log of JDeveloper if you have permission problems to write.

Why can my 8500 A Plus not download forms from the web?

Hey indianadave,
Are you're apps working from the front panel of the printer? You will want to make sure that you have internet connection to your printer. If you don't, you can follow these steps:
1. Find your printer's IP address.
2. Enter the IP address in the address bar of your internet browser.
3. Click the network tab.
4. Click IPv4 under the wireless/wired menu on the left hand side of the printer screen.
5. Set Manual settings.
6. Set a Manual preferred DNS of 8.8.8.8 and alternate DNS of 8.8.4.4.
7. Click apply and try downloading the forms again.

I'd first try downloading an installer from the Apple website using a different web browser:
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/
If you use Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa), do you get a working installer?

My music file did not download correctly and stops playing after a few seconds.

My music files did not download correctly from itunes and stop playing after a few seconds.

Assuming you are in a region where you are allowed to redownload your past purchases, delete the current copies from your iTunes library and then download again from your purchased history. If the problem persists, or that facility is not available in your region contact the iTunes Store support staff through the report a problem links in your account history.

Why is repair of file permissions not automatic if it is so important?

Over an over I have seen advice to use Disk Utility to verify and repair permissions to prevent or to try to repair OS problems. Some say repair weekly, some monthly, other say after updates, others when there are problems and on and on and on. If this is something that should be done periodically, why hasn't Apple made the system software do this for us automatically? What are permissions? Why can't repair be automatic????? How do they get screwed up?

Permissions tell the system who the file belongs to, and who is allowed to do what with a file or folder. Thus the system folder is owned by root, belongs to group wheel, the owner has read and write permissions, the group can read and execute (that is, look at things inside and open the folder), and so can others (users on the computer). When the system is installed this information is saved, and when you repair permissions the list of what permissions "ought" to be is consulted and applied. The list ONLY refers to files that are installed by Apple, so your own home folder and its contents are not fixed or changed in any way.
Occasionally a program needs access to files or folders where you don't have write permission in order to be installed. When that is the case the installer will ask you for your admin password, and change some permissions so it can do its thing. If the installer is badly written it leaves the permissions in the altered state. Personally I don't believe in giving an installer my password. I don't think a normal program should be mucking about with the System folder, and have discovered several that can be installed perfectly well without adding anything to the system--they didn't really need the password to start with.
At any rate, if an installer goofs the permissions, or if you yourself monkey around with something and goof the permissions, or if a stray cosmic ray hits, the permissions can differ from what the system file says they ought to be. On very rare occasions this can cause a problem. In the course of many years of reading these forums I have seen about half a dozen problems that are fixed by repairing permissions.
As routine maintenance Repair Permissions is not necessary. If you never install anything that asks for your password, never mess around with system files, Apple never sends out a software update that messes up something, and no cosmic accident happens, then there is no need to repair permissions. I know a number of people who have never repaired permissions at any time, and their computer runs just fine. Indeed, permissions can be "incorrect"--that is Disk Utility will report the file or folder has a "wrong" set of permissions, but things will still work. For instance, if the incorrectness is that the item allows EVERYONE read, write, and execute permission it will work, it may be wrong (perhaps only the owner should have write permission), but it will work just fine. It's probably a security risk, but it works.

Why are my new file contents not read?!

Hi,
I have a web application with a StartupServlet. In this Servlet my web application is initialised by reading out a file (init.xml) from disk. When the app server has been started and I modified the contents of the init.xml and reload the StartupServlet the new contents are not read. Only the old file contents are visible at the StartupServlet... The init.xml file is read using the ClassLoader.getResouceAsStream();
Could someone please explain to me why the old file contents are read and not the new file contents???
dee3lmo

Notice that by simply accessing your servlet again, your servlet won't be reloaded!
Please read the resource from your servlet using the ServletContext, as follows:
getServletContext().getResourceAsStream("init.xml");
instead of using the servlet's classloader.
This will ensure that you will always read the most recent version of the resource, without having
to reload your servlet.
Hope this helps.

"Archive file does not exist" error message in KSB1

I'm fairly new to SAP, and I am receiving this error in KSB1: Archive file 000786-002 CO_ITEM does not exist.
When my co-worker runs the report using the same cost center, data is returned. We are running this for the current accounting period. Is there some kind of setting or other access I need in order to view this? Any help is much appreciated.

Hi,

Installed Adobe Reader, now .pdf files do not download automatically

Hello,
Unfortunately, I recently had to download Acrobat Reader to complete a .pdf form with fancy menu fields. Now, whenever I click on an internet link to a .pdf file, Safari tries to open the document in a browser window, and seems to hang on a white screen. Sometimes I get a prompt asking me to locate Acrobat Reader. What a vile program... infecting other applications like that.
Previously, .pdf files would automatically download to my desktop when I clicked on a link to one. How do I restore this functionality? I would like all .pdf files to download automatically when clicked rather than being displayed in a browser window. Thanks very much.
