Software :: Various Errors When Downloading Programs?
Aug 31, 2008
For some time now I have had problems downloading files/programs from the net. Things like OS critical updates; Adobe updates; VMware trial software; games; virus definitions. The download run into problems when unpacking - most common error is that verification failed but there are also failures in unzipping files (NAV installer being the most recent).
I have checked a number of forums and found similar problems but none seem to work (eg. mounting from disk utility). The only thing I haven't done is reinstall from OS archive disk as this could entail reinstalling a lot of things (mind-boggling).
I have a MacBook (2GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with 1 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRam) running OSX 10.4.11 and also have Parallels 3 (build 5608) running Vista. The download problems seemed to begin with updating the Parallels software. I received the verification error or a checksum error. I resolved this problem by using different download sites. When investigating this problem it was suggested that the ISP provider was at fault. Is this possible?

I am trying to download updates on my MacMini. Every time I try I get a message that says "Mac update cannot be saved you are not connected to the internet." but I am always connected to the internet. Sometimes I get other error messages, but I can't remember what they say. I have a Mac OS X 10.7 and it is trying to download Mac OS X Update Combined version 10.7.3 and Java for OS X 2012-003.
I should mention that I am also having trouble backing up on time machine. Though it works when I hook my external hard drive. A few months ago I was having some issues with my computer so I whiped it clean and I think somewhere in the process things got screwed up. I don't know if any of this has anything to do with why I can't update my computer.

Mac mini, Mac OS X (10.7.2)

We've been trying to download the latest digital copy of Mission Impossible from iTunes and have had no luck. It stops downloading and gives an error message (unknown error occurred (-50)) and have received (err - 8008). We've checked for software updates, rebooted the system and tried again, but nothing.Â

I am a totally new Mac user and am struggling with the concept of these .dmg files that are downloaded to my desktop when i install a new application (example firefox) and then when i try to delete this file after the installation completes it appears the program requires this to run?
What do you typically do with the files after installaion? Is there a default setting someplace that tells the OS to dump and store these some place else in my HDD?
I also dont understand the icon that then gets placed on my desktop of the (in this example) firefox application... it looks like a new drive but its actually how i start the application? is it the equivalent of a link in windows or is that the .exe and my default file save settings are screwy?

I want to have an idea of what to download when I get my MBP in 2 weeks, as in if there are any exclusive programs for Mac that aren't on Windows. I at least plan on downloading Firefox, Chrome, Skype, AIM, Google Earth, Videora (is there a better alternative that comes with OSX?), etc.

For some reason the Mac terminal utility has suddenly started to pop up every time I attempt to down load a program. This has never happened before and I am not sure how to make the changes so this does not happen.

I'm on a Powermac G.5 dual 1.8 with an upgraded superdrive running 10.5.6
About 3 days ago I noticed that I couldn't burn a dvd using Roxio's Toast 10. I would receive a medium write error.
I tried a second time with the same results.
I then moved to itunes which I have updated to the fullest version and tried to burn a playlist to cd and also received a medium write error.
Finally I tried to burn the original dvd using disk utility and it almost worked up until it hung on finishing. The funny thing about the run with disk utility was that the disk played in my home dvd player with no problems despite quitting the burn prematurely.

I have a question about using my new samsung tv as a monitor for my macbook. I have all the cables and such and my TV reads the computer. It actually shows the desktop background, mouse, and the toolbar on the tv...
BUT....when i try and open a program such as safari or itunes it does not display the program on the monitor but rather on my macbook screen. It shows the program open on the tv monitor but it shoots off the screen and then opens on the macbook screen.
Also the mouse disappears from the tv monitor screen on the left side only, and when it does it becomes visible back on the macbook screen! Any tips or suggestions on how to get the programs to show up on the monitor instead of the macbook screen?

I just got my MBP yesterday, and so far it's been incredibly frustrating. Trying to download Firefox, 3 separate times, I get "image corrupted" errors when I try to open the .dmg. This is probably the 10th+ time it's happened today errors ranging from "invalid checksum" (from Facetime, downloaded from Apple), to "error -199". Any ideas what's going on? The same things appear to be just find on my Mac Pro, and they're running the same software. Already ran verify/repair disk multiple times.

I've just done a fresh install of Leopard to see if it would clear off some of these permission errors. Does anyone have any suggestions? I've tried OnyX, booting off Install CD.

My 24" iMac had some graphical glitches and froze up, so I ran MemTest86 on it and got a number of errors reported on my RAM.Â
I had upgraded from 2x1gb to 2x2gb and kept the old RAM, so I gave that a try. This time MemTest86 itself came up with graphical glitches and reported problems on this RAM as well.Â
I gave up for the night and the following morning when trying to boot, all I get is the monitor powering up and the Mac boot sound. The system then reboots immediately and does the same thing over and over. Screen powers on (stays black though) and sound plays. I never get to a gray screen at all nor does the Apple logo ever appear.Â
Trying to boot to safe mode, off cd, single user mode are all unsuccessful, I never get out of the boot sound loop.Â
NVRAM/PRAM reset attempted, likely unsuccessful.Â
I've tried booting with 1 DIMM and 2 DIMM across the different RAM I have, but the same thing always occurs. Only time I get different behaviour is when booting with no RAM, and then I just get a beeping tone.Â

A lot of these errors keep "polluting" my Console daily. I've reset Dock, but nothing changes. What are these msgs all about? I've had these for long time (possibly even in Leopard - I don't remember exactly).

I recently bought a hard disk drive for my macbook - specifically an internal, 500GB disk with 32 MB cach�. I installed OSX without any problems, but lately I've noticed some programs start doing funky things (Finder getting stuck frequently for no reason, once even the settings panel got stuck, svn weird behaviour complaining a file is both non-existant, locked and not versioned, etc.). Just out of curiosity I tried checking the disk with the disk utility and it found filesystem errors.
I heard some rumours a few years ago that disks with big cach�s required a bit more time before shutdown to committ everything to actual disk.
These errors and funky behaviour *seem* to appear when I reboot so I'm suspecting the rumours might be true. What do you think? Anyone out there with a big cach� HDD? should I try exchanging it for one with a smaller cach� or is there any setting I can access for this case? Or maybe is it simply defective?

I had a 320gb hd drive in my mbp that was running out of space. So I ordered a 750gb drive to replace it. My mbp is partition 25% Mac 75% Windows. I used Carbon Copy to clone the Mac side of the drive to the new drive.Then placed the new drive in the mbp.I then used sys utilities to partitions the new drive 25% Mac & 75% windows. The I downloaded Winclone to the Mac side and attempted to make a image of the old bootcamp partition. I selected to save it to an external drive that is formated for Mac.
About 80% in the Winclone stopped and said Errors Found see logs.Tech support can't figure out why it's not making the image.Then they suggested I turn off the screen saver. So that's where I am not.

Three days ago a noisy fan brought me to the Genius Bar at my Apple store and when i got there the boot screen stayed gray and had a folder with a question mark in it. I have a late 2006 15" MPB running Snow Leopard 10.6.6. The guy told me i need a new hard drive so i went out and bought a Western Digital Scorpio Black 320g 7200 rpm SATA drive with a 16 mb cache. I replaced the old one with it, formated and installed OSX 10.6. I then used my time capsule to recover my last back up. I completely restored it. TWO DAYS OF PERFECT USE Now, i have the annoying fan noise again and my console is telling me that my HDD is having disk0-02 i/o errors. A LOT OF THEM. I've had at least 30 before noon today. Currently i am writing zeros to my drive and going to reinstall 10.6 WITHOUT using my time capsule restore (incase that has bad blocks written to it) Has any one heard of issues like this before with the particular HDD i bought? Two HDD failures two days apart seems fishy to me, what other issues should I be looking at? Is it possible i'm getting the i/o errors from a bad HDD ribbon cable to the logic board?

I'm running 10.5.7 on my MacBook Air and while browsing the Console System Messages I came across the following lines which seem odd.
I have tried to understand what is going on and validated all my fonts using FontBook with no errors. I have not installed any fonts apart from those that come with the system and iWork 09.
I presume that these messages should not happen as they are errors and must be the result of something being wrong.

Girlfriend just got a new iMac all in one a week or so ago. We had no problem setting this up on the exsisiting network but a couple days ago we began having issues. The 3 PCs, 2 iPods and one network printer seem to connect fine until the iMac connects (or tries to). We've gotten IP confilct errors on various machines (assigning already assigned IP address). I cannot even connect to the router when the iMac causes this problem. Take the Mac off, everything runs fine. I am new to the Mac world so maybe I'm missing something. Here's what my network consists of... Scientific Atlantic DPC2203C cable modem (Optimum) Netgear WGT624 v3 router 1 iMac all in one, 2 HP and one Gateway PC(all Vista), 2 iPod touch, 1 HP wireless printer all running DHCP and wireless.

my 2.4ghz 3 year old macbook pro is experiencing a lot of graphics errors and lockups recently, where the screen will turn garbled and such and the computer will freeze. Keep in mind this is the 8600m gt. However, I just got the nvidia fix done for free by apple a couple months ago. Is it possible it could be the same problem?

I am attempting to fix my gf's Macbook Pro w/ 10.4. She had tried to reinstall the OS a few weeks ago, and I think the installation was bad.
So, her computer ended up not booting, and just sitting on the start-up screen.
I decided I would try a full reinstall, with formatting and everything. I backed up her files, and could not get them to delete from her harddrive using my computer (when linked via firewire). So, I booted from the disc, erased her drive, and formated in Extended Journaled.
I tried to install the operating system, on what I assume is a clean harddrive, but about halfway through, it keeps failing. I went into disk utility, and the harddrive says "verified" in the S.M.A.R.T section, but whenever I run verify, or repair, I get an error message saying "Could not unmount disk".
I searched the forum, and there are topics concerning this message when accessing disk utility normally, but nothing about this message appearing while running from the OS disc, on a fresh harddrive.
I have tried everything I know of (which is not much), with no success.
Could this error e the cause of OS installation failure? If not, the only other thing I can think of is that the actual dvd is bad, but it looks fine to me.

My son is trying to open a .jar on his Macbook to add a mod to Minecraft. It throws an error and directs him to Console each time, but Console isn't showing any errors. Using advice on a couple of similar threads I followed some steps but ended up at a dead end.Â
The Terminal message I get when I follow the steps in another thread is this:Â
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/eclipse/swt/widgets/Display
