HT203128 "Unable to check for available downloads. The network connection was lost." I have 3 downloads from yesterday that I receive this error code. Any ideas?

I have 3 downloads from yesterday that I receive this error code. Any ideas?
Thank you!

I may have stumbled upon something that could help. A type of "detour" around the problem.
I just started experiencing this problem a few days ago. Anytime I'd try to download a song/video/movie, I would get the message, "Unable to check for available downloads. The network connection was reset".
So, instead of selecting "Check for Available Downloads" under "Advanced" menu...
I logged into "My Account" page in itunes. If there are available downloads it comes up at the top of the page with the option button "Download Now". When I select that -- it downloads immediately.
Can't promise it will work every time. But it's worked for me so far. Good luck...

  • Unable to check for available downloads. the network connection was lost

    in my downloads window in iTunes it shows i have "28 iTunes downloads available". when i try to download them, i get the error "Unable to check for available downloads. the network connection was lost."
    my connection is fine though, as i can individually download purchases by clicking on the cloud icon.

    I followed the advice on Holgr's link, i used screen flow to capture the error message, and then made the video available to apple support. My issue was immediately escalated, and my account started working again shortly after.
    I received no additional messages from tech support, i had no idea the problem was resolved until i tried it again.

  • Hi - when I check for available downloads I get the message "unable to  check for downloads the network connection was lost" this isn't a network problem as I can download directly (just cannot check for downloads) on any of my Mac's PLEASE HELP!!

    Hi - I have had this problem since the last update to OSX 10.9
    I cannot check for downloads as I constantly get the error message - nothing seems to work (including contacting apple support) - grateful for the help of any genius out there!
    thank you (and happy new year)

    Launch iTunes on your computer.
    From the menu bar click iTunes > Preferences then select the Advanced tab.
    Click Reset warnings and Reset cache
    Click OK.
    Restart your computer, launch iTunes.
    Click Store > Check for Available Downloads...

  • Getting "safari cannot open the page because the network connection was lost" on a popular UK electrical retailer when trying to click and collect, yet I have excellent 3G and WIFI connections

    When I try and use a click and collect service via a popular electrical retailers website in the UK I get " safari cannot open the page because the network connection was lost"
    I have a superb WIFI connection and have tried it via 3G.
    I am not getting this on other websites, however have recently updated Safari.
    Any ideas?

    Install Chrome and see if the problem lies with Safari...that's where it was with my mini.

  • Unable to check available dowloads. The network connection was lost.

    I get this all the time in iTunes 12.1: "unable to check available dowloads. The network connection was lost."
    Sometimes it does what it's supposed to do anyway, sometimes it doesn't. I also get the: "We could nor complete your iTunes Store request. The network connection was lost". If I sign out and back in that goes way, but item #1 is still showing up all the time. Even when nothing is apparently happening?

  • Safari shows "The network connection was lost" for all flv files on the internet.  Firefox plays all

    I upgraded to the lastest version of Flash to fix what I thought was a problem in Firefox.  That problem turned out to be something else but now Safari will not play ANY flash content.  I have uninstalled and reinstalled several times.  I have even installed an older version.  All of these have the exact same result.  Flash works in Firefox but not in Safari.  I have cleared the cache.  I have gone into the flash securty settings and deleted all content.  Nothing seems to change this.  Anyone have any ideas?

    Plug-Ins are installedand keep in mindthis problem affects all 3 browsers i am using IE9, Safari5 & Firefox 19NOT a SPECIFIC browser issuewhich is why i think it's either "Flash" (Adobe) or streaming web-site (Freedocast) issue.

  • InDesign - The network connection was lost

    I see a few threads in regards to this problem but I don't either understand or see a credible fix for it. I work for a company that has a creative services department. In total there are about 20 employees, all with the same image on their Mac. The Mac models themselves can vary but I have one user who has had two different Macs now and she continues to be the only one in the department who has this problem. Randomly she will get the following errors from InDesign CS6 vr. 8.0.1 on OS X 10.9. She works on files from a server. Illustrator doesn't have this issue working from the same sever but InDesign does. This can happen while she is actively using the Mac so there isn't anything turning off or going to hibernate mode.
    The network connection was lost for the file XXXXXXX.indd, or the file was modified by another process.
    Followed by
    Adobe InDesign is shutting down. A serious error was detected. Please restart InDesign to recover work in any unsaved InDesign documents.
    To troubleshoot I have done the following:
    1) Deleted the InDesign prefs.
    2) Updated the CS 6 suite
    3) Changed out network cable
    4) With new cable, swapped her network port with another users network port. Problem still stayed with the user.
    5) Had the network team monitor her port with a sniffer. They found nothing wrong with it.
    6) Updated OS X 10.9
    7) Removed CS 6 and re-installed.
    Not sure what else to do.

    Mac server or Windows server? Have you checked her permissions/access vs another user not having the issue?

  • Failed to load resource the network connection was lost

    I am uploading a 2 gb file into my application using chrome in my MacBook Pro, i keep getting an error (FAILED to load resource: net::ERR_CONNECTION_RESET) when the file is 100% uploaded and the file starts uploading from the beginning (1%... and so on). This issue is not happening when i am doing the file upload using chrome in my windows 7 machine. I Also noticed in the same MacBook if i upload through Safari i get the same error (failed to load resource the network connection was lost). Please let me know what additional information i can provide technically.
    Regards,
    Charan

    common guys..nobody have any solution for this...i have seen many people complaining about large file upload issues in MacBooks which wont happen in windows.

  • I have the ipad2 with the latest Os upgrade.  On certain websites, I get the following error message: cannot open page. Safari cannot open the page because the network connection was lost. I have rebooted, turned off wifi and reset the password.

    This is happening to only certain websites.  Unfortunately, the work ones that I need to access.  I appreciate any help.
    Error message:
    Cannot open page
    Safari cannot open the page because the network connection was lost
    I reset the wifi and the password, I also rebooted several times.

    Do you have any other browsers on your iPad? If you don't have one, why don't you try downloading one of these free browsers - they will all be "lite" versions (not full featured)  - but if you can access these websites with one of those - then I assume that we can point to Safari as being the culprit. That will not solve the Safari problem, but it will give us another point from which to work.

    I have Mercury, iCab Mobile, Opera, Dolphin and Atomic. iCab Mobile - the paid version is great.
    BTW ... have you tried to access these sites from another WiFi connection - like a library, a friend's house - any other WiFi network?

  • "Hotspot login could not open the page because the network connection was lost"

    So, I've been trying to connect to the login for our school's wifi for a while now, but instead of like going into the sign in spot where you accept the terms of use agreement for our wifi, the pop up screen says "Hotspot loging could not open the page because the network connection was lost". This is on my iPod touch 2nd Generation, and I've never had this problem before, but it popped up like 4-5 weeks ago, and I haven't been able to log in since. Anybody else solve this problem/ have it and could give me advice on how to solve it? That would be great, thanks and see you fellow Applers later!!

    1. Double-click the Home button to reveal Task Bar at bottom
    2. Hold the Safari app down for a second or two until you see the minus sign
    3. Tap the minus sign to close app
    4. Re-launch the app and test
    Note: If necessary close all apps in the Task Bar

  • The network connection was lost on iTunes store

    I´ve been trying to download some music but the itunes store reports a problem saying the network connection was lost. There was an error in the itunes store. please try again later.
    Also I can´t sign in with my user and password.
    What´s happening??
    Thank you

    You profile indicates you are running v10.6.7
    If that is the case, updating your system software may help. Click your Apple menu icon top left corner of your screen. From the drop down menu click Software Update...
    If your software is already up to date, try troubleshooting the connection.
