Error -100008. What do I do?

After coming back to my itunes from being offline, I get error 100008 and then my video downloads restart from the beginning and download painfully slow for a T3 connection. It currently has a TV show taking 208 hours to download.
WHAT CAN I DO???

There are a couple solutions suggested in other threads:
1. Repair disk permissions (open "Utilities" folder in your "Applications" folder; select "Disk Utility"; highlight your hard drive; click on "Repair Disk Permissions"
2. Change permissions on "Shared" folder to allow "Read & Write" for all users. To do this, follow the instructions below, but do it for the parent "Shared" folder instead of the subfolder "adi" mentioned there.
I found neither of these worked, so did the following (suggested by another user in a different thread):
Allowed "Read & Write" permission for all users in the "adi" folder, which is found in the "Shared" folder
1. Search in Spotlight for "Shared"
2. In the search results, click on "Shared" folder to open it
3. In the "Shared" folder, there will be a folder called "adi"
4. Right click on "adi" and select "Get Info"
5. At the bottom of the "Get Info" window will be the "Sharing & Permissions" section
6. At the very bottom right corner is the image of a padlock - click on the lock and enter your password (this allows you to make changes to permissions)
7. Click on the little up and down arrows to bring up menu of possible permissions for each user
8. Select "Read & Write" for all users
9. Click on lock to secure the permissions
This solved my -45054 error message problem. Now downloading happily.
I happened to be on hold with AppleCare at the time and as soon as the tech came on, he confirmed this as a possible solution known to him.
Hope this helps!

The disk you are using probably has a defect, not uncommon on consumer grade disks. Try another disk or better yet another disk from a different manufacturer or at least a different batch.

It is a mute point now. PSE12 finally failed to the point it locked up the MAC. I had to restore the MAC OS from backup to a point before the PSE12 update.
The MAC now operates correctly and so does PSE12. I don't think I'll be updating PSE any time soon.

On an older Mac I got this message while trying to burn a CD for the car: "The attempt to burn a disc failed. The burn failed because of a medium write error." What does this mean? And how do I work around it?

I had been getting this all morning and checked other messages from the community. THe one which worked was trying a different brand of disc.
I had been using Verbatim which had copied the music fine off the Real Player on my PC at school, but wouldn't work with I Tunes. Tried a Staples and an Office Depot CD-R , both of which did the job.

I got a message while burning a CD. "The Attempt to Burn the disc failed because of medium write error"..what does this mean?

i got this message while buring a CD on itunes. "The Attemp to burn the disc failed because of medium write error"..what do you make of this?
i think the CD was bad. i took the machine to the Apple store and they said the Optical Drive was OK. so it must be the CD's i'm using... i use Verbatim type. let me know.

'Mediium write error' means it failed to write to the disc - some makes work better than others and you may just have hit a single bad disc or maybe your burner doesn't like the make of disc. I've always had good results with TDK.

Are you plugging the iPod into a high powered USB 2.0 port on the back of your PC? Have you tried a different USB cable?

Trying to erase hard drive, but get "input/output error". What does this mean? What can I do to erase my hard drive so I can reinstall?

Hi all,
My computer a few days ago wouldn't start up, would just stay at the gray loading screen forever. So as a result I tried to reformat the hard drive and reinstall, but I can't reinstall, until I erase the hard drive, but when I try to erase the hard drive it says the erase failed due to an input/output error. What does this mean? What can I do to fix my computer?

The startup drive is failing, or there is some other internal hardware fault.
Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service provider.
Back up all data on the internal drive(s) before you hand over your computer to anyone. There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional — ask if you need guidance.
If privacy is a concern, erase the data partition(s) with the option to write zeros* (do this only if you have at least two complete, independent backups, and you know how to restore to an empty drive from any of them.) Don’t erase the recovery partition, if present.
Keeping your confidential data secure during hardware repair
Apple also recommends that you deauthorize a device in the iTunes Store before having it serviced.
*An SSD doesn't need to be zeroed.
