Error 1403 while try to update my iPad mini 2 (wifi) from 7.1.2 to 8.1.2

So I tried to update my iPad mini 2 with retina display (wifi) from iOS 7.1.2 to iOS 8.1.2 using the restore option on iTunes on my mac. I tried it several times and each times it said that the download was corrupt once it was finished. I tried to update it directly through my iPad, but still didn't work. I've also downloaded the appropriate ipsw file and directly put it on my iPad mini using iTunes (right click + option thingy), but it was telling me that it was incompatible. I've reseted my iPad. I've put it into recovery mode (and then restore it), I shut down all the firewalls on my mac. I've even created a new apple id, but still, I cannot upgrade it to iOS 8. What's even more frustrating is that my two brothers who have the exact same model have been able to successfully update directly on the iPad on their first or second try. I was thinking that there might be some extra firewalls on my router but why did it work for my brothers but not me ? I've already been on this (Resolve iOS update and restore errors in iTunes - Apple Support) and many others, and yes my computer is updated and I have the newest version of iTunes.
Any suggestions ?
(here are some of the error messages that I got when I tried to download iOS 8.1.2 directly from iTunes (the file was downloading, it only said that message once the download was finished)

Thanks, I was really hoping this was possible though.

Try posting to the correct forum.
This is the iPhone for the Enterprise forum... there is nothing about the issue that appears to apply to using an iPhone in an Enterprise (corporate) environment.
Try posting to the iTunes for the Mac forum.

"unknown error" when I try to update my ipad

I get an "unknown error" when I try to update my ipad... no problem signing on at the website from a desktop, but can't update any programs or purchase any new ones in the apple store.

Go to Settings>Store >Apple ID, tap your ID and sign out. Then reboot the iPad, Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
Then go back to Settings>Store>Sign in and sign in again and see if the apps will update.

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

Thank you

Wifi is wifi (generally) and you should be able to take your american bought device (presuming that's what you mean) to europe and get it online.
The biggest issue you may face is to make sure you have a plug adapter. Your power brick is rated for world wide power variances you'll just need an adapter to make the plug fit eurpoean plugs.

Hey there zizicool,
If you are still unable to use the iPads cellular data when traveling, I would recommend the troubleshooting information in the following article named:
Get help with the cellular data connection on your iPad (Wi-Fi + Cellular Model)
Tap Settings and make sure that Cellular Data is turned on. Turn Cellular Data off, then back on again.
Swipe up from the bottom of the screen to open the Control Center. Tap the airplane icon to turn airplane mode on. Wait three seconds, then turn it off.
Restart your iPad.
Check for a carrier settings update.
Update your iPad with the latest version of iOS.
Remove the SIM card, then insert it again.
If your SIM card uses a SIM PIN, tap Settings > Cellular Data and turn SIM PIN off.
Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
If you have another SIM card with a valid cellular data account, remove the SIM card from your iPad and insert the other SIM card. If the cellular data connection works with the other SIM card, contact your carrier to report the issue.
Try another location. If the cellular data connection works in another area but not in the first location you tried, contact your carrier to report the issue.
Restore your iPad as new.
If you still can't connect to or use a cellular data network, contact your carrier, make a reservation at a Genius Bar, or contact AppleCare for more help.
Learn more
You might be able to set up or make changes to your cellular account by tapping Settings > Cellular > View Account. To set up your cellular data service for the first time, you might need to use the latest version of iOS and connect to Wi-Fi.
If you're traveling internationally, learn about using cellular data in other countries. Check with your carrier before you travel to make sure that you understand the cost of international data roaming. Tap Settings > Cellular to turn Data Roaming on or off.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care,
Sterling

Follow Troubleshooting security software. Often, uninstalling third-party security software will resolve these errors.
There may be third-party software that modifies your default packet size in Windows by inserting a TcpWindowSize entry into your registry. Your default packet size being set incorrectly can cause these errors. Contact the manufacturer of the software that installed the packet size modification for assistance or follow this article by Microsoft: How to reset Internet Protocol (TCP/IP).
Verify that access to ports 80 and 443 are allowed on your network.
Verify that communication to albert.apple.com or photos.apple.com is not blocked by a firewall, or other Internet security setting.
Discard the .ipsw file, open iTunes and attempt to download the update again. See the steps under Advanced Steps > Rename, move, or delete the iOS software file (.ipsw) below for file locations.
Restore your device while connected to a different network.
Restore using a different computer.

If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect to your computer & click on the "Update your device using iTunes".
Tip - You may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily. Then download and install the iOS update. After you update to iOS 5.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).

Perhaps, iTunes can't communicate with the Apple uodate servers. Temporarily disabling your firewall and antivirus software would help. Take a look at this.

Did you take a look at the link that you tagged?

My iTunes wont update, and I can't connect my new iPhone if it doesn't update. It says error when I try to update, and I cant download it because of a "Windows Installer" error...

I just not a new iPhone and in order to sync it I need the newest iTunes, but I can't update it! I tried checking for updates and then trying to downlaod it. I get this error: "Errors occured while installing the updates. If the problem persists, chose Tools > Download Only and try installing manually."
Where on earth is Tools anyway?
When I tried just reinstalling all of iTunes, I had a Windows Installer error...I don't even know what that is!

tools is at the top of the apple updater but dont get your hopes up
