Dial-up and iTunes 7 challenged! Error 8003

Hello,
I'm pretty much stuck with dial-up internet access speed in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. When I had iTunes 6.0 I successfully downloaded the latest season of 24 to my laptop, but since I upgraded to iTunes 7.0 I've had challenges downloading episodes of Survivor.
I routinely get error 8003 stating that a connection was lost to iTunes and/or the "network." That may be possible as our connectivity here is questionable. However, I thought there would be a recovery option for iTunes to pick up where it left off downloading a show. Maybe since the episodes I've bought are almost 2x the size from when I downloaded episodes of 24, the outages are too close together to successfully download a show.
Does anyone have any ideas? I don't know whether to complain to my internet provider or complain to Apple/iTunes.
Thanks!
Sony Laptop Windows XP Pro

Error 1417 fixed.
But....WHAT IS up with this v-e-r-y s-l-o-w ripping of songs to my i-tunes library???? Excessively slow................

Updated iPad 1 to IOS 5. When trying to restore my iPad from my backup it gets half way through and the iPad reboots and iTunes says "An error occurred while restoring this iPad (-1)"

Updated iPad 1 to IOS 5. When trying to restore my iPad from my backup it gets half way through and the iPad reboots and iTunes says "An error occurred while restoring this iPad (-1)"
I have tried to restore my contacts and company data at least 20 times and every time half way through THE iPAD REBOOTS! When it boots back up it is at the brand new iPad screen.
This makes me angry as I do not use the iPad for fun and games. I use it for business. My company data and records for the last year are gone. ALL of my out standing customer invoices are gone. ALL payments received are gone! ALL Business contacts and emails ARE GONE! All my company, personal email accounts and settings ARE GONE!
What am I supposed to do now? In 6 hours I have to get on the road and conduct business with a empty blank factory out of the box iPad. How am I supposed to know who owes me money or who has paid their bills Apple? All of my meetings and calendar dates are GONE!
Everything was supposed to be backed up and restored after the update!
Question???WHY DID YOU MAKE THIS UPDATE WIPE OUT ALL SETTINGS AND APPS ON THE iPAD??? All the other updates left everything on the iPad intact and ONLY upgraded the IOS,and when it was done everything was still there.
Yes! I have done everything. Rebooted computer, checked for updates, Hard booted iPad, Factory restored iPad to ios 5 twice, tried every usb port I have, unplugged all other usb components.
Everytime half way through "Restoring iPad from backup..." The iPad turns off shows a spinning circle then shows the Apple logo and takes me to the brand new iPad setup screen.
Apple, you have no idea the level of stress you have created today.....

Check the console app to see if there are any error messages. I had one app showing an issue (Pet Hotel) the error was (truncated):
ERROR: Restore message response: 102 rename error: File name too long (63) at path "/var/mobile/Library/SafeHarbor/com.pocketgems.tappethotel/Container/Documents/ savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHis tory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGa meHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/sa vedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHisto ry/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGame History/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/save dGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory /savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHi story/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedG ameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/s avedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHist ory/savedGameHistory/1313349538-pocket_gems_crash_report.txt" (MBErrorDomain/102)
I manually snyc'ed that particular app and then re-ran the restore and am now the proud owner of a working iphone. Not sure it is the same problem or app but looking in the console was the key!

I'm unable to download Apple Keynotes vids and iTunes gimme an Error code (403)

I'm unable to download "WWDC 2008 Keynote address / Apple Keynotes" and iTunes gimme an Error code (403). Would anyone tell me what to do?

Either the service did not install when you set up iTunes, or it has been stopped for some reason. If you are using Win7, go to the start orb, click, type services at the bottom. Then look in the window that opens for the Apple service(s), and start them all. Then reload iTunes and try again. If you don't find an Apple service, then you will need to install iTunes again, and be sure it is the current (10.2) version.

I wanted to restore my iphone 4s from 6.1 to 6.1.1 and itunes showed me (error -1) and i cant do nothing because its stuck with the itunes logo and the cable what should i do to fix it helppp please...

i just wanted to restore from 6.1 to 6.1.1 on my iphone 4s and itunes gave me an error -1 and know it doesnt work i dont know if the warranty from 1 year of apple can fix it or what i can do to solve the problem... as i said i just wanted to update and know im stuck with the restore logo ( the itunes logo and the cable) need some help please!!!!

no so i dont know what happened

I was updating my iphone 3gs and when i came back to check on it, all i had on the screen was a usb and itunes logo. error -1. now my phone won't work. what do i do?

I have a iphone 3gs and while trying to update tot the new software my phone gave error -1 and went to usb and itunes logo page and says it is in recovery mode. I have tried to get it out of this mode but have had no luck. My iphone is not jailbroken, so i don't know why this is happening.

The device is in recovery mode. Connect it to iTunes and the computer and you need to restore it.

Iphone has a new battery and front camera flex cable. Wont turn on and Itunes gives me error 4014 when i try to restore

So my iphone 5 was having very bad battery problems and apple said they charged $80 to which i was astonished by because my warrenty ended 2 weeks eailer. I thought maybe they would be generous and help me out but no so i took it upon myself to get a new battery and install it myself. I did that and it turns out i need a new front camera flex ribbon so i also bought that and installed it myself. Whe i was donre installing it my phone flashed the apple logo and went black front there. I tried connecting to itunes and it gives me error 4014. Will apple still fix my phone even though i opened it?(Im not under the warrenty anymore).

It is unfortunate that you chose to open the device. Apple will not touch it now. Out of Warranty replacement is no longer an option.
Buy a new device.

Vista and itunes...error code 2330, please help

I have had this computer for a few months and have no issues downloading anything except for itunes : / I am on a Dell 1535 with 32 bit vista.
When I go to install itunes/quicktime from apple.com, the installer will get through itunes and then about 1/4 way thru quicktime, it stops and gives me the Error Code 2330. It then rolls it back. I have also tried to install quicktime first and then itunes but I continue to get the same error code.
I have contacted Dell who wants to charge me $200 to even TALK to me about this issue, let alone solve it. I have also spoken with apple and we did a few troubleshooting things like:
- the microsoft clean up installer
- installing under a guest account on computer
- applying the misconfig and restarting
I need to call apple back to try some more options but I also wanted to see if anyone on here has had similiar issues and how they solved it.
Each time I tried to install itunes after all of this, the same error code would come back.Every time I install it, I also uninstall it but I have a feeling I am not cleaning it off the computer completely and this may be why it is not working properly for me. Although the VERY first time I tried to install, I received this message as well so maybe that isn't the issue.
I am not a super wiz on the computer but I know the basics, if anyone can suggest what I can do, it would be a huge help!! I know they are compatible and it shouldn't be this complicated to download a simple program, ugh!!
Thanks in advance for your help and happy holidays!

I have the same problem. i have a dell xps m1530 and i continually get a 2330 error message. I took uninstalled itunes when i first got the problem a few months ago and now quicktime won't unistall and i get a 2330 error. I've tried the same things you have and a few more. I've used CCleaner and i've tried using as many help sources from apple but nothing seems to help. Its bothers e that no one has been able to help me. I've called in and no one helps. I hope that someone can help us in this problem.

Hi there besiburuk,
You may find the troubleshooting steps in the article below helpful.
Resolve specific iTunes update and restore errors

Check USB connections

If there’s an issue with the USB port, cable, dock, or hub, or if the device becomes disconnected during restore, try troubleshooting the USB connection, then troubleshooting your security software.
To narrow down the issue, you can also change up your hardware:
Use another USB cable.
Plug your cable into a different USB port on your computer.
Try a different dock connector (or no dock).
Add (or remove) a USB hub between your device and computer.
Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, with no routers, hubs, or switches.
If you checked your connections and are still seeing the error message, check for hardware issues.

HT1212 My fully charged iPhone screen is black and not responding. what can I do to get it to work again? I have never syncd on iTunes. I connected to my laptop and iTunes app displays error msg saying phone is locked and unlock phone to connect.

My fully charged iPhone has a black screen and is not responding but has Siri and sound. I connected to laptop and iTunes gives error msg indicating phone is locked and I to enter passcode. but I can't enter the passcode because the screen is black. I have never syncd with iTunes. What can I do to get my phone back?

First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

ITouch and iTunes Movie rental error

after purchasing and downloading a movie rental from itunes on my itouch i had paused the download for a later date and am now trying to resume it. it is still waiting in my download section of the itunes store and when i tap to retry it says download error and wont process the download. HELP!!

i figured it out hahaha

Can't install quicktime or itunes I recieve error code 2738. I'm running windows Vista 32 with Service Pack 2. I have tried old and new version of both programs. Also, have gone through Apple's online help with no good outcome

Can't install quicktimeor uninstall it for that matter and itunes I receive error code 2738 with both downloads. I'm running Window Vista with Service Pack 2. I have check for all window update. I have gone through Apple itune help list. Even going into cmd to do regsvr32 vbscript.dll which was successfull. Can you help...my son had to register his ipod at the neighbors house..What going on.
Son even call apple with no help and was give Microsoft number no help there either they wanted me to call HP.....run around

Excellent news!
Strange how sometimes the fixit works better than the manual methods, and sometimes the manual methods work better than the fixit. It differs from Microsoft fixit to Microsoft fixit too. (Unfortunately, because these "anomalous 2738s" are pretty rare as install errors go, I don't have a good feel yet for whether or not it's the fixit or the manual method that's more likely to work in iTunes/QuickTime installation contexts.)
Afraid I'm not very good on earbud troubleshooting, but fingers crossed the folks over at the iPod communities might be able to help:

Just had to replace iPad so I need to restore from other backup. iTunes has sync error that others say require uninstall and reinstall. "iTunes was unable to load prover data from Sync Services. Reconnect or try again later." If I uninstall, will I lose

Just had to replace iPad and itunes has following error. "iTunes was unable to load provider data from Sync Servies. Reconnect or try again later." I read that others suggest uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes. If I do this, will I lose my old iPad's backup that I need to restore to this new one?

I've resolved the issue with iTunes constantly not responding. It's a bit embarrassing. I had a DVD in the drive that was corrupt, and once I was able to remove it - BAM - iTunes ran perfectly.
I'm still getting the Sync Services message, and my backups are still not showing in iTunes.
Getting there.... I hope!

Hello nagillis
Check to make sure that there isn’t anything blocking access, like any security software or firewall, to the iTunes Store causing the issue of downloading media.
