11503 error

11503 error, when i'm downloading past purchases, what does it mean?

I was getting this error just now. What worked for me was to sign out of the AppleID from the menu bar (under Store), quit iTunes, open it back up and then sign back in from Store in the menu bar. I went to check for available downloads and a bunch of stuff started downloading. I was able to update my apps and update my computer after doing that.

  • Error 11503

    I have tried several times today to purchase albums and I keep getting an error that says:
    "Could not purchase "unknown". An unknown error occurred (11503). There was an error in the Music Store. Please try again later."
    What is this error and how do I fix the problem? I updated the ITunes software already but that did not fix the problem.
    My anti-virus and firewall were also disabled at the time of download so that could not be the problem either.
    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    tried. didn't work. still get 11503 error and couldn't download free song. any idea how to get a response from itunes regarding this matter? it's been going on for nearly a month and my money is tantalizingly showing up in my account and not being able to access it is exceedingly frustrating. i know it's not a cookies or date/time setting issue since i successfully set up a regular apple id linked to my credit card and have purchased music. it seems to me that itunes ought to be a bit more responsive to its customers who have issues like mine. just a gentle suggestion, of course. thanks, as always, for your attempts to help. i still have not received a response from itunes engineering and was told that would happen earlier in the week. is there any recourse for customers like me??? amy r.

  • Odd sizing error from Time Machine

    Anyone seen this sort of error before. In a window, the following pops up
    Time Machine Error
    This backup is too large for the backup volume. The
    backup requires 2.2GB but only 146.6GB are
    available.
    To select a larger volume or make the backup
    smaller by excluding files, open system preferences
    and choose Time Machine.
    Preferences OK
    Is there a limit to how much Time Machine can backup in a single hit after the initially backup or some other limitation, or have I missed something?

    Made that fix and it gets stuck at this (from the log)
    May 25 21:16:24 Tigger-2 /System/Library/CoreServices/backupd[11503]: No pre-backup thinning needed: 2.83 GB requested (including padding), 146.31 GB available

    It says it has enough space and then the error -34 is disk full. What's that all about? The file alphanumerically before this one has a longer name by a few characters so I doubt it is a pathname size issue, but who knows.
    Anyone?

  • Mac wont shut down, restart or sleep - corrupted software update?

    My Mac Pro (2007 - OSX 10.6.7) will no longer shut down, restart or sleep. When I try to shut down, it logs me out of my user account, shows the light blue screen, momentarily shows the Leopard space background screen, before showing the blue screen again, and finally returning to the login screen prompting for my user/password.
    The only way to poweroff from this point is to hold down the power switch until it forces a power down. This issue has been present for the last two weeks or so ever since I did a Software Update containing a security update. Initially it just failed to perform that update, although after a few days it did do the update, seemingly by fluke. After that, the problem persisted and now there is a new update (Fonts) which again fails to update.
    I have tried all of the following:
    Power off Mac, unplug power and leave for a few seconds
    Power on Mac holding down Ctr + Opt + R + P (resetting PRAM etc)
    Boot up from install CD and perform Disk repair (it did find problems with the disk and repaired them)
    Check and repair permissions
    Delete Software Update related plists & caches from ~/Library and /Library
    Still the problem persists. Examining the logs shows me this:

    I can paste the crash report referred to in the logs if that would be helpful but for now will leave it out as it's huge and largely full of gobledygook.
    I'm at my wits end now. I've always been very proud that in ~4 years of Mac ownership I've never had to reinstall OSX - something I used to do on an anual basis with Windows. My next step probably is a full reinstall, but I really do consider it a drastic step and a last resort.
    Here's hoping that the Mac Support Community can help me out
    Thanks in advance.

    As a followup, upon the advice from someone else I created another user account (non admin) and logged in as that user. From that account I could successfully power down.
    I'm still convinced the issue is related to Software Update as examining the logs showed none of the Software Update related entries as above:

    Hi anwarulhaq,

    Did you purchase the phone brand new or is it second hand? When you activated the service, did you create a new account or did you use your old Nokia account, if there's any?

  • Error 11503: What does this mean?

    I purchased an Itunes music card and when i tried to download the songs it gives me an error 11503. Could not purchase unknown. unknown error occured. There was an error in the music store, please try again later. Well i have tried again later and it's still not downloading. Any help would be nice. Thanks

    Did you cancel your AOL account? That 11503 number is usually associated with AOL accounts that didn't convert to AppleIDs correctly.
    Also make sure you have the latest iTunes

  • Possible fix for errors 11503 and 50

    Here's a possible fix for Error 11503 and for error 50.
    It worked for me and hopefully it will work for you.
    I believe this error is caused by the incomplete downloading of either an update to an app. In my case it was caused by closing the lid on my laptop when I was downloading app updates on a very slow internet connection in a hotel.
    Anyway, here is what I did that fixed it completely.
    Close iTunes.
    Go to this folder : /iTunes/Mobile Applications/Downloads
    You'll find tmp files there. Drag them out of this folder to a temporary folder on your desktop. The Downloads folder should now be empty.
    Restart iTunes.
    All should be fine.
    If it is, delete the desktop folder with all the temp files.
    If it's not, then I can't help further, but that's what worked for me.

    Several possible causes from the info you gave
    Battery level low - recharge it for at least 4 hours till the full charge sign displays (2 prong icon instead of lightning icon).
    Time to Reset the iPod - Press the Menu and center Button for about 10 secs till the Apple logo comes ON, then let go of the buttons.
    your hardisk is starting to give problems, hence the skipping and some song refuse to play. - Do a disk diagnostic - follow this post by tt2.
         https://discussions.apple.com/message/17028567#17028567
    If you have updated any sofware application in Windows, then follow this Apple support procedure
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1539
    Most likely you have to do all, as the iPod hardisk filesystem would have been corrupted, or else the iPod Reset would bring it to normal operation.
    Good Luck!

    I tried to buy songs and whenever I tried, the error message popped up, saying "error 11503 occurred and try later".
    So I tried to go into my iTunes account and send a message or something, but I can't do that either. It says "503 service unnavilable".

    Every time I try to purchase a song (any song) I get an error message saying: Could not purchase "Unknown". An unknown error occurred (11503). There was an error in the Music Store. Apple support told me to try again later, but this has happened for 4 days in a row now. Any ideas? Thanks.

  • CSS 11503 Portmapper Error

    Any idea what this error means? We saw this after we did some load testing this weekend.
    DEC 11 15:35:26 2/1 150337 PORTMAPPER-6: FWMapPort - ERROR Couldn't Pick Port
    I cannot seem to find reference to it.
    Thx - Pat

    This is a level 6 error, so not really a big error and more a information.
    You probably have configured a group to nat source ip address.
    This message is printed when the CSS was unable to select a source port.
    It should normally retry and if it can find one the packet is forwarded.
    If you get a lot of these, you may start dropping packets.
    With group you somehow limit the possibilities of the CSS. If many clients are nated into a single ip address, the number of port will be limited to 65k and this will limit the number of active connections.
    Regards,
    Gilles.
