Error 8008 - Episode won't download - itunes store email address now bounces

I've spend ~£26 on the HD version of Battlestar Galactica Season 2; this should get me all the episodes in Series 3 & 4.
Unfortunately, one episode (Season 4, Episode 13, "The Oath") repeatedly fails to download (1 week now, at least a dozen attempts).
It gets 1.2Gb of 1.4Gb into the download, stops, restarts all over again, gets to 1.2Gb and then gives error 8008.
I've been in contact with the itunes store multiple times about it (Re: CAS : (en_US) Purchases, Billing & Redemption; Follow-up: 295940492) and they kept saying "try it again", "i've marked it for redownload" but nothing has changed.
I now can't even email the itunes store people who have been "supporting me", as their email address no longer replies (it bounces at apple's end with a 550 Recipient address rejected).
I reckon the content is broken in the cloud; maybe I'm the only mug stupid enough to try to buy TV series this way, but not to worry it won't happen again.
I've deleted my downloads directory, retried this so many times I'm probably on the verge of getting a bandwidth warning, I've tried two different networks - to no avail.
So here I am, in the forums, wondering if all I can do is do the nuclear option of challenging the credit card transaction to get the refund?

Any joy getting this sorted?  I have the same problem.  Can't download it, can't stop it from trying.  Getting quite annoying now.

    Hello, perhaps this may help: http://blogs.isaserver.org/shinder/2006/03/05/explanation-on-the-502-error-to-de lta-and-sun-sites/ the comments have some specific references to iTunes.
    The issue is that it's almost certainly a problem with your firewall/proxy and not iTunes so you might be hard-pressed to find help here as suggesting help for private LAN infrastructure is not the same as suggesting help for iTunes. Usually I'd suggest turning the proxy off and work your way backwards to find out where the problem is but I guess this isn't possible.
    Anyway, have a look at the link and see if it helps.

  • New Podcast Episodes won't download

    I subscribe to a lot of NPR podcasts and this week the new episodes won't download. When I hit refresh at the bottom right corner nothing downloads but when I go to the iTunes store there are new episodes. I can get them there by hitting the "get episode" button, but why won't the new episodes in the itunes Store automatically download? anyone else having this problem? any suggestions?

    Are you sure you have actually clicked on the "Subscribe" button rather than just downloading individual episodes?
    Are the episodes listed in iTunes but not downloading, or are they just not listed at all?

  • TS3297 Error message: 'Cant connect to the itunes store. An unknown error occured (-3212) please check you have an active internet connection and try again'. Help !

    Can someone help me please ? I was using itunes (downloading albums etc) just half an hour ago. I had a pop up asking me if i'd like to download the latest version of itunes, which i accepted. When the update had finshed downloading, i then restarted my computer, as i usually would. Tried to re access the itunes store, and received the following error message: 'Cant connect to the itunes store. An unknown error occurred (-3212) please check you have an active internet connection and try again.
    Needless to say, i have an active internet connection and cant see any reason why this would be happening, it has never happened before ?
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Stavo per acquistare il cd di Giorgio Gaber 'Io se fossi Gaber' ma, senza che mi fosse chiesta l'autorizzazione, è iniziato il dowload di 26 brani (anziché i 13 del cd). Ho interrotto il dowload per correggere l'errore ma mi accorgo che su iTunes Store risultano già scaricati 10 brani. A me interessa il cd completo a 13,99 euro. Non so se questo comporti l'acquisto automatico dei 10 brani erroneamente scaricati e se l'importo corrispondente sia già stato addebitato sulla mia carta di credito. In tal caso, giacché la procedura non è stata corretta e ciò non è dipeso dalla mia volontà ma da un errore imprevisto del sistema, chiedo di annullare l'eventuale acquisto dei 10 brani in modo da consentirmi, successivamente, l'acquisto dell'intero cd (13 brani).
    Colgo l'occasione anche per un altro quesito: tempo fa ho acquistato da voi (il 5 aprile 2010 - ricevuta #204007766895 - n. ordine MGVL623Z3W - euro 8,99) il cd 'Alghero' di Giuni Russo. L'ho smarrito, non riesco più a trovarlo neppure nella Libreria di iTunes: è possibile recuperarlo, in qualche modo, attraverso un nuovo download gratuitamente (il cd è già stato pagato)?
    Grazie per l'attenzione e la sollecitudine.

  • App store updates I get an error that says "cannot connect to iTunes Store"

    On my iphone under the App store updates, I get an error that says "cannot connect to iTunes Store"

    Thanks for responding turingtest2 - I finally worked it out (no thanks to Apple!) - I am in South Africa at the moment and availability of content here is very limited (it seems) according to the bloggers - when I looked there is a tiny faint grey note at the bottom of http://www.apple.com/za/itunes/download ...
    it seems to pick up South Africa and the UK - in fact I have set up an alternative UK apple ID so I suppose it sees my ipad, checks my "accounts" and constructs the note accordingly?  Weird. 
    It would have been REALLY helpful to have a clear indication of content availability when setting up the South African account.  I have found the several places where the experts explain how to work around this problem with fake US addresses and voucher payments.  I don't want to do that. 
    I have to say that my limited experience with iTunes and Apple over three years (previously on PC/Windows) is way below what I would expect from Apple inc ... this incident must have wasted four hours of my life ...

  • Problem downloading iTune Store tracks on NAS - "Connection Timed Out"

    I am having a problem downloading iTune Store tracks on NAS - "Connection Timed Out"
    I am trying to use the following for my "iTunes Music Location" - \\Nas1\media\Music\iTunes\iTunes Music
    However, when I try to purchase music, I receive the following message:
    "There was an error downloading your purchased music. The network connection timed out. Make sure your network settings are correct and your connection is active, then try again."
    I can purchase songs, the song will begin to download, the appropriate files and folders will be created on the NAS (I can see them), it seems to make two tries to complete the download, then stops, and show me that message.
    My network connection (DSL) is fine, and the network is up.
    Anything I can do? Is it possible to store iTunes on the NAS, or do I have to set it up to store purchases locally?
    Thanks

    I found htis other post https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3401328?start=0&tstart=0
    I also found this in another post
    These ones are typically caused by underlying problems on the PC that also often cause Windows Updates to fail to install. If we can fix the Windows Update trouble, we can usually get the iTunes trouble cleaned up en passant.
    Go into your Windows update and try to check for new updates. If updates install, stock up on the ones you're behind on, restarting the PC if requested to do so. After the restart, try installing iTunes again. Does it go through this time for you?
    If windows updates fail to install, go into your Update History and doubleclick the failures. What alphanumeric codes appear for you? (For example, 8007000B.)

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
    The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for installation or performance issues, or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.

  • I am a US resident but spend several months each year at my house in England. Is it possible for me to download UK iPad apps from the iTunes Store? Right now they seem to be restricted. Can I set up an alternate iTunes account using a UK credit card?

    When you go to Starbucks, you'll need to first go to Settings on your iPad and choose Network. You'll see ATTWIFI as one of the available networks. When you click on that to select it, you should be immediately sent to AT&T's sign in page. You just need to check the box that says you agree to their terms and conditions and then hit the Connect button and you'll be online. One warning, however. If your Starbucks is anything like those in Manhattan, be prepared for really slow wifi. It can be a real pain waiting for pages to load sometimes.

  • When I try to connect to App Store,I get an error message stating "cannot connect to iTunes Store.  I show 3 bars on wifi connection

    When I try to connect to App Store, I receive an error message stating, "cannot connect to iTunes Store.  I show 3 bars on my wifi connection?  Can someone help...why if I tap App store, does a iTune error message display?

    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    Finally, if the Restore doesn't work, let the battery drain completely.  Then recharge for at least an hour and Restore again.
