Download Error (8003)

I keep getting af download error (8003), when i try to rent and download a movie. The movie is stuck on 79%. It just says "Download Error (8003)".
There is nothing wrong with my connection. Yesterday i rented two movies with no problem at all.
What is wrong?

Hi
sorry to jump into the middle of a thread but I have had the same problem and Apple suggested I check the forum. Just wanted to make sure I have understood your instructions correctly. I assume you are talking about the Apple TV remote control. That being the case I do not have volume control on mine. Page 27 of the guide shows a picture of the remote and the button above the Menu Button designates the top as "Menu up/scroll" and the bottom as "Menu down/scroll". When you say volume do you mean the Menu down/scroll portion of the button.
Thanks

Partial Duplicate Downloads (Error 8003)

One evening I set a TV series to download on my ATV. The next morning I noticed that episodes were down loading on my iMac. When that had finished, I had a complete series (and nothing else) on my Mac. However, when I return to my ATV as well as all the complete episodes I also have some partial duplicates shown. These files are listed in the downloads menu as 1% complete with the message Download error 8003.
What I think happened is that my wireless connection was interrupted over night so the episodes could not down load to the ATV. Before this happened, however, the ATV synced and put them in my iTunes down load queue, where they happily downloaded and then were synced back to the ATV.
I have all the episodes so its not a big problem, but I have all this junk showing on my ATV (so a series is listed as having 12 episodes when it only has 8: I have episodes 1 to 8, plus partial duplicates of episodes 1 to 4).
Any ideas how to erase the junk from my ATV (it doesn't appear in iTunes)?

Click the AppleTV device in iTunes to get the tabbed sync menus - if there aren't many tabs you may need to select to 'custom sync' on the ones available. My sync computer has failed so I can't check the exact option.
There are several posible ways to sort this, some more time consuming than others.
Those items which directly downloaded to AppleTV may have a trash can icon next to them when they're the current scrolled to item - if so you could just delete them direct from AppleTV.
Other alternatives would be to remove the sync computer from AppleTV Settings>Computers which will delete all synced data in preparation for a new sync library - it may not remove direct AppleTV downloads though - quick to try but you'd need to add the library agaim with the 5 digit code from this menu and resync stuff. Another alternative would be a factory restore, update software then add back the sync library but this is a last resort in my opinion.
Did the duplicates sync back to iTunes? If so deleting them from there may remove them from AppleTV at the next sync.
Oh, how I wish you could drag and drop files to AppleTV in iTunes, and delete/recover content from it in the same way!

Download error 8003 on itunes 10.5 on Win XP Pro

Does anyone know what this error is? My windows xp pro was recently upgraded to itunes 10.5 to support an iPad. things were ok for a day, now I cannot download the "free apps" i "purchased". I get error 8003 which says "check network connection". I ran the itunes diagnostics which says passed: accessed Store, simulated purchase, etc. I tried to download from directly from/to the iPad and iTouch and get the same error. I "repaired" my itunes installation. Seems like the problem is at Apple or maybe my account information? I enter my password ok for my account, it shows my purchases, etc... Help?!

Try the "Error -50," "-5000," "8003," "8008," or "-42023" section in the Specific Conditions and Alert Messages: (Mac OS X / Windows) section of the following document:

Problem Downloading: Error 8003

I am unable to download all but one episode of The Tudors that I recently purchased. I keep getting a message saying there was an unknown error (8003).
I purchased the entire HD Season 2 of this series, and only one episode downloaded. How do I get the rest of the episodes that I paid for?? This error has been happening for the past several days, so, clearly there's a problem with the iTunes Store which won't let me download what I paid for.

Doublechecking. Have you tried the "Error -50," "-5000," "8003," "8008," or "-42023" section in the Specific Conditions and Alert Messages: (Mac OS X / Windows) section of the following document?

Error Restarting Download - Error 8003

I cant restart a download that was interrupted by my internet connection dying. I get an error 8003 - any help?

I just had this problem on 2 tracks I was downloading/upgrading to iTunes Plus. Disabling my Privoxy adblocking proxy did the trick. The proxy didn't affect the other 190+ tracks and vids I had, but my cable modem seized up like 5 times during the redownload (Commiecast :/), so I assume that an interrupted download recovery doesn't play nice nice with proxies..
Presumably this would also get you if you run a proxy for antivirus as well.
HTH!

However, my main problem and area of concern is my downloads. I can download songs without hassle but i cannot download large video files. I start downloading like halfway of a 450mb file (TV Show) then it either disconnects "saying that no connection has broken) or when I press pause, then resume again, my downloads start all from zero kb. My internet connection is stable and does not go off.
I am really desperate here. Can someone please help me get my tv show videos to completely download without hassle.

ITunes downloading error 8003

Downloading episodes of The Daily Show, which used to download quite satisfactorily, now we get "error code 8003" at random times and the download stops. Quitting and restarting usually allows us to restart the download.
However, another problem then surfaces. Before, if the download would be interrupted by a temporary internet problem the downloading would resume from the spot where it stopped (so if 78kb had come in and downloading was interrupted, when we'd restart it would start from 78kb and continue). Now whenever there's an interruption it goes back to zero. Since it takes about 3 hours to download an episode, it's a constant and time-consuming crapshoot to see whether we ever actually get a full episode in before something goes wrong.
Any enlightment on the error code? Or a setting or something that can be tweaked to stop the downloads from going back to zero when interrupted?

Open Console in Utilities & see if there are any clues or repeating messages when this happens.

Download error (8003) can not download all purchased content - Please help?

I have tried everything short of deleting my apple tv and starting again (already done the soft resets).
My recently purchased products only downloaded in part... spent $300 on content much of which I can not watch = very annoying.
Laptop is nearly full, so downloading to that and syncing is not really an option... just want thew apple tv to do what is advertised.
PLEASE SOMEONE HELP
thanks

try this, I could not find anything specific about that error code:
Solution
Deleting the cached video files of the download, and starting the download again from the beginning, often will resolve this issue.
To find the cached video downloads:
1. Navigate to the downloads folder on your system. This folder can be found in the following locations:
Mac:
~/Music/iTunes/iTunes Music/Downloads
Note: The tilde (~) refers to your Home directory.
Windows Vista:
\Users\username\Music\iTunes\iTunes Music\Downloads\
Windows XP and 2000:
\Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Music\Downloads\
2. Locate the folder that contains the cached video file for this purchase.
In Windows Vista, the folder will be named for the purchased video, and the name will end with .tmp.
Example: The Dundies.tmp
In Windows XP and Windows 2000, the folder will be named for the purchased video, and the name will end with .m4v.tmp.
Example: The Dundies.m4v.tmp
3. Move the .tmp folder for the affected purchased video to the Trash or Recycle Bin.
4. Open iTunes.
5. From the Store menu, choose Check for Purchases.
6. Enter your account name and password and click the Check button.

Have you tried exiting iTunes and restarting? The times I've seen this error this has worked. After restarting iTunes the program asks me to sign into my account and then the downloads begin.

Any thoughts on this situation are much appreciated.
Thank you.

Error 8003 when downloading ITunes

Please HELP. I clicked on a story to download, and when it tries to download to me I get an "error 8003" and won't let me downlaod any more music. I don't know how to delete that one story.
Christine

I have just received an e-mail from Apple iTunes Support and they have issued me with a FULL refund of the purchase price of Avatar and the ( seemingly ) unobtainable iTunes Extras!
I seemed to be getting nowhere after Apples iTunes Support put me through the ringer making me re-try the download ( twice! ); delete my downloads folder and re-try the download AGAIN; and finally having to re-setup my old HP DV7 laptop ( I'm currently using a 17" MacBook Pro Retina ) and retry the download yet AGAIN!
Needless to say the outcome in each case was exactly the same! Avatar the movie downloads perfectly and The Extras file fails at zero% with TWO error 8003s!
Through all this I did everything, no matter how seemingly stupid it seemed that was asked of me and CONTINUED to insist that the fault was on their side and NOT mine!
iTunes support have finally advised me that they don't know when or even IF the file will be checked/repaired and in view of that and that I am a valued customer ( I'd want to be after buying 1.5TB of Music, Movies and TV Shows ) that they would refund me the FULL price I paid for the Movie and Extras!!
So, I would urge ALL of those who have written to this forum to write again to iTunes Support and DEMAND full refund for a faulty product ( the Movie PLUS Extras ), citing MY SUCCESS as precedent for that refund.
I'm saddened that it seems impossible to make Apple fix this file, but at the very least we should be re-imbursed for our trouble ( and our ability to put up with sh*t <sigh> )
So, good luck and start demending your right to a FULL refund!
Christine
