8008 Error when trying to download movies from iTunes

I've searched Google and the discussion boards but no one seems to have a fix for the 8008 error when trying to download movies in iTunes. I have the latest version of iTunes, my Mac Mini is up to date with all of it's patches, I've tried deleting the movie in the download folder and redownload the movie but I still get nothing. Does anyone have any suggestions for a fix?
Thanks,

Morning pettis360,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
For troubleshooting on this, take a look at this article:
iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3297
"Error -50," "-5000," "8003," "8008," or "-42023"
These alerts occur due to timeouts or conflicts trying to write a file during download.
If you encounter this issue while while downloading something from the iTunes Store:
Delete your iTunes Downloads folder, located in:
Mac OS X:  ~/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/Downloads Note: "iTunes Media" may appear as "iTunes Music. Also, the tilde (~) refers to your Home directory.
After locating your iTunes Downloads folder:
Quit iTunes.
Delete the Downloads folder on your computer.
Open iTunes.
Choose Store > Check for Available Downloads.
Enter your account name and password.
Hope this helps,
Mario

Propagation error when trying to download inventory from server

Hi there,
Has anyone seen the following error when trying to download an inventory from the server.:

ITunes Error when trying to download movie

Hi,
I get the same error over and over again when trying to download a purchased movie in iTunes (10.1.2) I was able to download the "Extras" and other content downloads from the iTunes Store, but the movie does not.
I keep getting the message that an "internal server error occured" and the error code is Err = 500.
Two sessions with iTunes customer support does not alleviate the problem.
Please help.

Okay... Don't ignore. Same problem occurs when using Windows 7 machine and the same Novatel modem. Ovation MC998D.
Tried somewhere else and it worked. Must be the cellular modem. Any help would be appreciated.

Getting an error when trying to download music from Family Sharing

My husband & I are signed up for family sharing. When I try to download any of the music I get this error, "This device is already associated with an Apple ID. If you download past purchases with your Apple ID, you cannot auto-download or download past purchases with a different Apple ID for 90 days."
What does this mean & how do I correct it?

Howdy mrscaskin,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like you recently setup Family Sharing and are seeing an alert when trying to download a past purchase from the iTunes Store. The article linked below will explain the alert you’re seeing and provide information about using Apple IDs with multiple devices.
iTunes Store: Associating a device or computer to your Apple ID
When you turn on iTunes Match or Automatic Downloads, or when you download past purchases on an iOS device or computer, that device or computer becomes associated with your Apple ID. Your Apple ID can have up to 10 devices and computers (combined) associated with it, with a maximum of 5 computers at any time. Each computer must also be authorized using the same Apple ID. Once a device or computer is associated with your Apple ID, you cannot associate that device or computer with another Apple ID for 90 days. You can view which devices or computers are currently associated with your Apple ID, remove unused devices or computers, and view how many days remain before the devices or computers can be associated with a different Apple ID from the Account Information page in iTunes on your computer:
Open iTunes.
Sign in to your Apple ID by choosing Store > Sign In from the iTunes menu.
Choose Store > View My Account from the iTunes menu.
From the Account Information screen, click Manage Devices.
Next to each device or computer name, you will be able to see when each device or computer was associated with your Apple ID. You will also be able to track how many days remain before your associated devices or computers can be associated with a different Apple ID.
I hope this helps.
-Jason

Error occuring when trying to download movie from apple tv

When ever I rent a movie from apple tv an error occurs when I go to downlaod it. The error just says that the movie cant download right now, try again later. Even after numerous attempts the movie still wont download. This had been happening for months and I've just been watching movies from netflix. I'm being charged for movies I can't even watch! How can I fix this problem?

First, what is your internet speed? www.speedtest.net
iTunes HD content requires 6mbps (SD would be 3mbps)
Netflix uses variable bit-rate so it simply degrades on slower connections
iTunes content waits to play until enough has buffered for playback without interupption

Unknown error when trying to copy music from itunes to ipod

Message appears "copy to the disk IP failed unknown error -53. Any ideas?

good gracious, Dick. you keep getting hit by exotic error messages. (in these circumstances, a -53 code is reasonably rare.)
just checking on something. what got you past the "exception" message that you were getting when you were trying to launch itunes? (thinking here that info on that might possibly give us a heads up on what might be happening with your -53.)

Hi I'm trying to download movies on iTunes it's sitting in the download tab saying " waiting" it's been like that for a few days how do I fix it. Thanks!!

Hi please help me I'm trying to download movies from iTunes. I've got 3 movies in a frozen "waiting " process?? How do I fix this??!
First time ipad user

Downloads happen one at a time. A Downlaod will not start until a previous one has completed.
So first make sure you don't have an App or a podcast downloading somewhere or pasued as it would be holding up the rest of the download queue.
If that is not the case, you can try restarting your iPad to see if that prompts the downloads to start..
Hold down the Home and Pwoer buttons until you see the Apple Logo. Ignore any sliders that may appear.

HT5731 Have 55GB available, but get error message when trying to download movie to add storage

Have 55GB available, but get error message when trying to download movie to add storage

Go to Settings>General>Usage>Storage. Let all of the apps load in the window. You can see how much storage you have used and how much you have left. You will need about twice the size of the download of free storage in order to be able to download the movie. Also, the iOS will not let you use every bit of available storage on the device.
You can delete content in there if needed, but if you sync with iTunes it's a good idea to transfer purchased into iTunes and backup your iPad before you delete content. If you use iCloud only, backup with iCloud before you delete any content.

You can't use Safari to download iPad apps. Only use iTunes/App Store.

If anyone is reading this still looking for what caused the issue and how to fix it here is what I discovered.
The antivirus program our company uses, Bitdefender Antivirus Plus, was causing some of the PDF files not to open. After troubleshooting the different modules and settings the culprit was..
Scan SSL in Privacy Control Settings. Turning it OFF solved the problem and all the PDF files that previously would not open now open just fine. This issue has been sent to Bitdefender for them to review. If you use a different antivirus program and are having this issue try locating the Scan SSL setting and see if turning it off solves the problem.
