Download error 8008

I have purchased 4 movies, since iTunes was undated, error 8008 appears and stops the download.
How can I either, 1. remove these purchases and start again, or 2. overcome the error to continue the download...
Any help please....

I stumbled upon another solution to the 8008 problem. Currently all my movies and music reside on an external HD. My laptop HD was near capacity less than 500 MB. When I was downloading a movie recently I noticed my laptop HD capacity fluctuating. I continued to receive the 8008 download error. Upon clearing some files on my laptop HD to < 1GB, deleted the tmp download folder for the movie (on my external HD) the download went through no problem. It appears that iTunes may be using a temporary cache on the main HD even if all your files on on an external.

Apple TV Download Error 8008

Hi,
I just rented Transformers HD through Apple TV and it started downloading, but then it stopped and gave "Download Error 8008".
No matter how many times I click Check for Purchases it won't resume downloading.
And I know the problem has nothing to do with firewalls or internet connection because I can watch YouTube and browse the store.
Normally with iTunes you just delete the relative temporary download file and then check for purchases. But this is not possible on Apple TV.
Does anyone have any solution to this? or is it $4.99 gone.
Thanks,
H.A.

Hashman -- Sorry about your issue. I too have had the same error on downloading an HD movie via the AppleTV. I started the download then went to bed, woke up the next AM to find the download failed. Unfortunately no amount of "Checking for Downloads" in the Settings menu fixed it, in fact it's still there, not fully downloaded.
If you use your Mac to download and it fails, there is actually a process by which you can delete the partial file and restart the download, I have found this does work but ONLY on your Mac proper, not the AppleTV. I did follow the "Report a Problem" process and have yet to receive a credit, perhaps it's pending I simply don't know. Hopefully this will get fixed soon, otherwise I sympathize and wish you luck! Sorry.

TS1424 Star Trek - into the darkness, Download error 8008

I am unable to download this movie, it stops at 110MB with file is corrupt, try downloading again. Ive tried this 5 times now and ever time it gets to 110MB it stops? the Itunes extras for the film downloaded perfect about 2.3GB size. Ive even deleted the folder where it partly downloaded to and tried again only to find at 110MB it stops with download error 8008
Any one else having problems?

Still not working for me and after 1 live chat and 30 min call with support they have told me they will "refund my account in 2-3 working days and try again to download it again in a few weeks"!!! A few weeks!!!!
They put me through to Tech Support who said it may be a fault with my mac and was transferred 3 times! Told them I'm away to buy the DVD as it will be faster to get than their help!

Movie download error (8008)

I've seen a number of threads on this error dating back to 2008 but nobody seems to have found a solution to this problem on the Apple TV (v1 - not the new small black one). It seems if you get the error using iTunes you are advised to remove the partially downloaded file from the downloads folder and that usually clears up the problem. However using Apple TV you do not have access to the file system and cannot delete files.
So, I've powered off the Apple TV, powered it back on, tried clicking on Downloads many times and it repeats the same download error (8008) while the movie (The kids are alright) is stuck at 76% downloaded. All other features of the Apple TV appear to be working normally.
Can anyone suggest a way to resolve this probm on the Apple TV?
Many thanks,
Adam

Same problem here. where is Steve Jobs we we need him to kick some ***** in his company? no one from apple can give an answer!!! incredible

ITunes Download error 8008

I keep getting this error (8008) when attempting to download a few TV episodes including Titanic Survival (Mythbusters Season 13), Chained Heat (Revolution Season 1), and Captain (Last Resort Season 1). I have already tried the suggestions from Apple's KB including deleting the Downloads folder and the error persists, I am hoping someone here can advise me further.

Note: at this juncture the three episodes specifically mentioned in my previous post are the only ones affected, all other material downloads OK.

Hi guys, I'm havinh trouble downloading 2 music videos. The download starts then stops before it gets going and gives me an error code, 8008. Can anyone help please.

Try the troubleshooting for that error number on this page : 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 accessing iTunes Store:
See iTunes 9: "One Moment Please" or "Error (-50)" message when accessing iTunes Store
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.
Windows Vista:  \Users\username\Music\iTunes\iTunes Media\Downloads\

If you encounter this issue while while downloading Digital Copies using Windows:
Use MSCONFIG (directions for Windows XP and Windows Vista/Windows 7) to disable conflicting software.
If using MSCONFIG steps resolves the issue, you may want to use the System Configuration Utility to turn on the third-party System Services and Startup Items one at a time (restarting your computer after turning on the item or items) to identify which System Service or Startup Item is causing the conflict.
You can turn all of them back on by selecting the Normal Startup option under the General tab of the System Configuration Utility window, but please note that this may cause the issue to reoccur.
If you are able to isolate the issue to a particular third-party software, you may wish to contact them to let them know of the conflict.

Video Downloading Error- 8008....help please!

Hi all. I would be so greatful for someones help. Since I bought my Ipod Video I frequesntly purchase videos from Itunes. Recently, I purchased 8 diffent videos-- ranging from television shows to movies, etc... The problem is that I cannot download anything from the Itunes store. Eachtime Itunes goes to download the items that I have purchased I receive an error message 8008 for each of the items as follows:
"There was a problem downloading “______”.
Parts of the file seems to be corrupted. To redownload the file, choose “Check for Purchases” from the Store menu."
The thing is that this happens with any videos that I purchase now, so I doubt that they are all currupted. Could this bean issue with my settings or something? MaybeI am a bit clueless, but it is quite frustrating that I have spent alot of $ on things that I can't actually watch The problem doesn't happen with regularmusic downloads.
Any help is VERY GREATLY appreciated.

I had this problem over and over (as well as error 8003). I Finally worked out that my ISP was using a transparent proxy which was causing all the problems with downloading from the itunes site and downloads restarting from 0. I set up a specific http proxy utilising another port (not port 80) which bypassed the isp proxy and have had blissfuol downloads ever since. To find out if your ISP is using a transparent proxy visit www.proxyjudge.net

Movie "Margin Call" will not download error 8008 or -50. all other movies and music will download without a problem.

any ideas? i've tried shutting down the AV and Apple firewall with no luck.

The mystery remains....
Thanks for the pointers. The file type is .mts (a proprietry sony one).
I have now found some video converter software (Wondershare and iSkysoft) at a cost. Either will convert this file for me into .mp4. This I can then import into iMovie without any problems. I've checked this on the trial versions and it worked well but without paying am left with a giant watermark in the video
The mystery (which I still havent solved) is why did 20 other .mts files import fine and then this one not?
If you could point me in the direction of some free .mts converter software that would be the cherry on the cake.
Thanks

Error 8008 while downloading a purchase

2 weeks ago I purchased a movie at the Istore. it started downloading as normal. about half way through it stopped giving me an +*"error 8008"+*. it indicated that parts of the file were corrupt and told me to restart the download. I did this to no avail. I then went to support over a week ago via e-mail. they responded telling me to do what I had already done. (I dont think they actually READ the emails they get). I responded to them but they have not replied further and it has been over a week. this is my first attempt at help with apple and so far it has been unimpressive. hopefully someone out here can help. I try to re-buy the movie but it wont let me saying I already own it. I try to delete it but it will not delete. I try to drag it to the trash can, but it wont go there.
HELP would be appreciated
STEVE
