Downloading a tv episode causes iTunes to wait and will not finish download

I purchased the complete season 1 & 2 of Game of Thrones which came with a digital download. I have downloaded all but one episode of season 1 and all but one episode of season 2 BECAUSE the download for both goes into a perpetual wait condition. Both downloads have stalled at 1.8 mB of 2.22 gB and 2.18 gB. Any suggested fixes? I am running Mavericks and i tunes 11.1.3.

I have done all of these things multiple times, at least twice before I opened the Help Desk Ticket. No change after doing the process.
This was a reply to an earlier "Help Desk" person
Yousuff,
I followed your instructions to no success. The exact same two episodes refuse to download, with the exact same conditions I reported. I do IT for a NASA contractor so I understand the support process companies use & getting through the beginning troubleshooting process for remote users, so let's move on.
1) I don't see the issue as related to downloads being enabled or marked finished 38 other items successfully came down before & after my initial issue.
2) The problem is repeatable with the exact same results.
3) My machine has been shutdown since yesterday morning. I booted it, launched iTunes & am now in the same state as before, both episodes stuck @ 1.8 mB in the download & it will stay in this state until I restart iTunes, now matter how long I wait.
4) My machine is running Mavericks & iTunes is 11.1.3 (8). Our internet provider is Comcast. My mini is on a wired network.

Hi..I have just recently got an iPhone and I had installed some apps already but now when I try to install and download any apps it just sits there on "waiting" and will not download.. Im able to erase it but no apps will download now. What Do I do?

Hi..I have just recently got an iPhone and I had installed some apps already but now when I try to install and download any apps it just sits there on "waiting" and will not download.. Im able to erase it but no apps will download now. I have tried logging out of the app store but it still did the same thing. I also tried resetting it and that didn't work either. I've tried everything I can think of but still just sits there saying "waiting." what do I do?

Mac osx 10.6.8 itunes launches automatically and will not respond to quit or force quit

mac osx 10.6.8 itunes launches automatically and will not respond to quit or force quit in the Activities Monitor. When I quit or go into the Activities monitor and try to quit, it goes off, briefly, then immediately relaunches. If i turn the computer off, and then on, iTunes launches automatically. ITunes 10.4. The only thing I remember doing different, lately, is I just updated a couple of days ago. Has anyone else had this issue? Thanks!

In trying to download Firefox 4.0, it "paused" at 37% of the way and will not finish the download. Why?

I could not open NY Times articles today because Firefox would not let me. I reported this twice. I received a window telling me to update Firefox ~~ and I'm trying to do this. As I said, Firefox download4.0.dmg paused and will not finish the download. It's been over 10 minutes and I don't know how to proceed.

You see the orange (on Linux gray) Firefox button if the Menu Bar is hidden, so you need to hide the Menu bar to get the new appearance.<br />
If you need to access the hidden Menu bar then press F10 or hold down the Alt key to make the Menu Bar appear temporarily.<br />
You can place the Tab Bar on top.

Movie rental froze during download and will not finish downloading or let me reorient it?

I rented a movie on iTunes for my iPad and began watching the movie. I needed to pause to goto work, but when ingot home the movie rental would not open. I went into iTunes and it showed that it needed to download. It downloaded till the end where it says processing,but then froze there. My movie rental counted down and then ended,but it still shows as downloading in iTunes and will not let me clear it or recent the movie.

I have this same issue. It has happened with two movies I rented. Actually, I watched most of both movies but they are both still on my iPhone despite the 24-hour expiration. Both movies are frozen at the "processing" step.

Syncing downloaded movies from itunes to ipad which then suddenly stops and will not finish the sync stating itunes could not copy "name of movie" to the ipad because the file could not be written. restored the ipad to factory settings, reinstalled itune

I have had to format my PC running windows 7, and reset my ipad 1 to factory settings, i then installed latest itunes on the PC authorised the PC and re downloaded several movies via itunes previous purchases, all was well until i tried to sync the ipad to the PC, only some of the movies synced onto the ipad, otheres stalled the sync stating itunes could not copy "name of movie" to the ipad because the file could not be written. I have to pull the plug on the ipad just to get itunes to unfreeze, but it still will not sync these movies. and one help

Hi
I was having the same issue with music and movies but it had been ok before. The sync would freeze on a random file and then i had to take out the USB cable to clear it. After trying all sorts of things i saw someone mentioning about Anti virus and firewalls. I am using McAfee so i disabled it as a test. After this i could sync music and movies without issue!!!!! So in my case the firewall/anti virus was causing a problem. McAfee updates itself a lot so I am guessing something has happened in a recent update that impacted iTunes.I am not sure if this kind of thing is also causing your problem but it sounds very familiar.
Hope this helps.

I purchased mountain lion but it keeps saying waiting and will not download

I purchased mountain lion over a week ago and the file will not download. It stays in a waiting queue and never initiates to even say downloading. I have deleted app attempted reinstall on multiple occassions but no luck. Additionally I have deleted app store cache to try and alleviate any issues but nothing is working. Also I am currently deployed to Afghanistan so a trip to the apple store is out of the question. Also I know my location is not an issue cause it allows me to purchase and install other items just fine. Any insight?

You could pull the app store plist.
That's what I would try first. (~/library/prefrences/com.apple.appstore.plist)
Also, I think the ML is kept in another folder as well. Let me take a look.
Yeah, try pulling the folder inside of the application support folder inside fo the computer libarary.
Go>computer>mac hd>libarary>application support>app store
pull the files inside the "app store" folder to the desktop. If there are more then a few, I would make a new folder on the desktop to drag them into.
restart and try the download again. Delete the download of ML from the applications folder if there is one there.
Make sure you don't delete the files. We might need them still.
Thank you so much for your service! I personaly appreciate it very much.

My iPod Touch has an Application that is Waiting and Will Not Download!

I have this application on my iTouch, and it is stuck on Waiting... and it will not download, and I cannot delete it. How can I get rid of it?! Thanks!

Welcome to the discussions,
did you already try to reset your device by holding the sleep and home button until the Apple logo comes up again?
Did you try to tap on the icon until it starts to shake and then hit the little cross to delete it?

The notepad app says waiting and will not respond. No other apps are waiting. I have rebooted the iPad to no avail

My notepad app is greyed out and is labelled waiting. It will not respond. No other apps appear to be waiting. I have tried rebooting to no avail. Any suggestions?

Try this:
Log out of the iTunes Store on your device:
Settings>iTunes & App Store...tap your Apple ID, then select "Sign Out"
Reset your device:
Device Reset (won't affect settings/data/music/apps/etc)
1. Press and hold (& continue to hold) BOTH the Sleep/Wake button & the Home button.
2. Continue to hold BOTH (ignoring any other messages that may show) until you see the Apple logo on the screen.
3. Release BOTH buttons when you see the Apple logo and allow the device to boot normally.

Creative cloud app downloading.. continues to say waiting and will not continue downloading

using a mac pro computer. I am unable to download apps

If you are getting waiting status after 42% , follow below steps.
Do not Quit Creative Cloud application when it is showing the progress status as " Waiting" . Because if we close , the installer file will disappear from Tmp temporary storage.
1) Right click on Finder icon and select "Go-To" Folder option.
2) You will get a text box, type-in below command and then hit 'Return' key.
/Tmp
It will open Tmp folder with list of sub folders inside .
Search for Illustrator/ In Deisgn .dmg file . and then copy it to Desktop.
Once you had copied .dmg file to Desktop.
Launch Activity Monitor and "Force Quit" all the process related to Adobe like Creative Cloud, CoreSync, AAMupdater, AAMupdater notifier, Adobe Crash demon , Setup , Install....etc from Activity monitor.
Then double click on Illustrator/ InDeisgn .dmg file and try to install .

I'm trying to download a digital download but it gets as far a processing file and will not finish.. Any Ideas?

Trying to update 10.6.3 - iTunes is gone and will not re-load.

Trying to update to version 10.6.3 either by .exe on web site or through automatic update and keep getting an error. "The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavilable." etc. It lists 2 sources to try to find 'iTunes.msi' and it is not there.
Cannot even start iTunes now. It is totally erased from my system. Help Please
Further to this, when unable to re-load iTunes I get the error message: The older verison of iTunes cannot be removed. Contact your technical support group.
I hope someone out here can be my technical support group.

"The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavilable." etc. It lists 2 sources to try to find 'iTunes.msi' and it is not there.
(1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
(2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
(3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
(4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
(5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?
