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:

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' in my itunes downloads iPhone 5

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

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!

Download error with the iTunes store

I've been trying to download All the Bird Songs of Britain and Europe from the iTunes store for the past couple days. I just get a message that says "Error with the iTunes store. Try again later." Anyone have any suggestions?

What steps have you tried to resolved it? Have you tried signing out and back into your account? If that doesn't work, contact Apple.

Itunes download error 8003

I have been getting an error message of 8003 while trying to download previous purchases from the store. Some of the purchases have started to download but now they all show the 8003 error. Any Ideas out there?

This the diagnostics from my pc:

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.

How do I solve for podcast download error -50 on iTunes 8?

I've recently set up my work computer with iTunes, as I now have an iPhone. In trying to download any free NPR podcasts (e.g., Fresh Air), I can subscribe to it but when I try to download, the orange spinning circle shows very briefly, then I get a grey exclamation point. Clicking on the "!" reveals error message: There was a problem downloading "Podcast name". An unknown error occurred (-50). Please check that the URL is correct and that the connection to the network is active and try again.
I'm using a Dell with Windows XP Pro Server Pack 2, with the iTunes 8.0.1. At home, I also have a Dell but with an earlier version of iTunes, and I'm not getting the error.
I have already tried deleting the podcasts from my library (including the cache), and resubscribing. I've tried to manually add the podcasts using the URL (through iTunes).
Any guidance would be very appreciated. I'm feeling lost with out my morning podcasts!

Any solutions to this problem? It always happens to "Car Talk" and "Wait, Wait... Don't Tell Me".

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
Fiona K

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.

TS3694 download error message in itunes, error 9006

i am trying to download a purchased movie. it downloads to about 375 mb's then shows a error message 9006 and the download stops. how can i resolve this issue?

ITunes 11.0.2 (Win 7 Pro, 64-bit) previously purchased downloads (cloud) fail (repeat 6x)

Summary: Under a fresh install of Windows 7 Professional (64-bit) with all patches applied, verified malware free (Sophos rootkit and virus detection tools and a Microsoft Security scan) iTunes fails to download previous purchases and then store/commit them on the computer.
Detailed Description: What I am presented with is a list of songs that are not on my PC but I can re-download. I click the litle cloud icon and the download begins. But after the file downloads it won't process/transfer into my library and cycles through 5 more attempts. (The little grey Harvey ball icon starts out empty, slowly fills in a clockwise pattern, and when 100% grey (full) it repeats.
Eventually iTunes gives a non-descriptive failure message. I'm stuck.
What I've tried to do:
I've tried several things, including:
- Reinstalling iTunes (with reboots inbetween)
- Turning off then on the iTunes "Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases"
- Reviewing permissions of iTunes directory (per other Apple KB articles and forum advice)
- Reviewing iTunes and supporting file folders/directories for missing things like the 'SC info' directory.
- Exiting iTunes, killing iTunes processes and iTunes Helper, renaming the iTunes folder "OLD-iTunes" and restarting iTunes to create new iTunes subfolders and again testing the downloads from the cloud -- which fail. I then restore my old iTunes directory, exit iTunes (and kill processes) and start iTunes again.
- Checking IE 10 security settings (even though I'm not using IE 10 as my browser, there are apparently ActiveX and other security setting implications that affect the overall system. Learned that when initially trying to install iTunes in the first place.)
- Deauthorizing / reauthorizing the machine
- Calling Apple Support who couldn't figure it out.
Any ideas that aren't inane or ones already tried above?
Thanks so much!

Nothing I tried helped. Apple Support couldn't figure it out.
I suspect it had to do with a security patch that MS recently issued then promptly recalled due to failures it caused on many users' systems. I am merely speculating, based on some of the odd errors I saw and the timing of the events.
Alongside the iTunes issue, there were other system errors and security problems I had noticed; namely with Java apps and the built-in security controls of the system. (Again, assuming I was malware-free since I did deep testing with 2 Microsoft tools and some Sophos tools which yielded clean results.)
Nevertheless, I did not solve my problem with technical intelligence. Instead, I wiped the machine and did a fresh install of Windows 7 and then copied my files back into place. (I did NOT do a system restore as to avoid reintroducing a problem from a known bad installation.)
That was only a 5 or 6 hour committmenet but "solved" my problem.
