Error 9006

Whenever I purchase a song or album it stops downloading and gives an error: err = 9006. Does anyone know what this means and how I can fix it?

Have you tried running the network diagnostics (under the help menu) to see if anything funky shows up?

I keep getting the error message 'error 9006' when i try to update my iphone and ipad with iOS 6.1.2 - HELP

Can any one help me.
I'm having an continued issue with my phone/ipad 2 and updating it.
I've tried (unsuccessfully) 7 or 8 times to update my iphone 4s with the latest update (iOS 6.1.2) but it gets 30 minutes in to the update and then an error message comes up (error 9006) and it gives me no option but to click ok and it.
I've tried using different USB cables, different ports in my laptop, even uninstalling I Tunes and reinstalling and starting again - nothing seems to work.
I've contacted my network provider who's referred me to Apple but they are closed (I'll try again during business hours).
I'm updating it on my laptop using an internet dongle (as i dont have WIFI - All updates have been done like this and i've never had a problem before) and I have windows 7 software..
Is there anyone who's encountered the same issue?
Any suggestions would be greatly appriciated?

Ipod nano 6G error 9006

After several months I found my Ipod Nano again. In the meanwhile, I switched from Android to Iphone 5s and got quite common with ITunes.
ITunes does find the Ipod, but states, that he is in "maintenance mode" and needs to be restored by ITunes - done so, updated ITunes to newest version, IPhone works well, but when downloading newest IPod Nano software, at the end of the 4-5 minutes download I receive error message "unkown error 9006".
I've presed power button together with vol - also for x-times, but unsucessful.
Is there any hint I haven't been able to find via google??
Please advise

That one can indicate a security software issue. In the course of your troubleshooting to date, have you worked through the following document?

I am getting Error = 9006 when downloading some Podcasts

I am getting Error = 9006 when downloading a podcast, Derb Radio on TakiMag, but not other podcasts. It started occurring recently, about 3 of the last 4. This occurs on both a Windows and Apple machine. iTunes is updated. It does not occur with other podcasts. Then end result is that the podcast does not download.
I also get a "rebuffering stream" interruption during playback on the computer.

Download error 9006, internet intermittent.

download error 9006. internet intermittent. Tthis is normal for where we live, it just drops for a second and everytime it drops you have to start over with the download, is there a way to pickup where it dropped off?

traffic shaping prioritises "core" services, so web browsing and email are not affected.
P2P traffic and video sharing/downloading are the services that are often throttled (sometimes to the point where it's not usable).
all ISPs do this (even the ones that say they don't).
Sky's broadband services all do this expect for the 16MB Max LLU package which has no throttling or download limits (the 8MB services has shaping during peak times and a 40GB a month usage limit).
apple have no control over this and will give an error message that is relevant to the problem in question (ie problem downloading the file). it has no control over what throttling an ISP is doing and is unable to tell if throttling is the issue or not.

Trying to update Ipad2 from IOS 5.1 to IOS 6.1 but I get an error 9006

I'm trying to update my Ipad2 from IOS 5.1 to IOS 6.1 but I get an error 9006. I've tried updating several times but I get the same networking error. I've tried disabling my computer and router firewalls, and made sure I have up to date Itune program, I even run the diagnostics on itunes and comes up that all connections are ok. I also tried connecting directly from my modem, I still got the same result. Now my Ipad has just the Itunes logo and a usb cable that's showing on it's screen. I'm hoping I can get help with this because it seems like my Ipad is un-usable in this state. Thanks in advance.
PS: I also have an Apple TV 3 that's asking me to update, I run the update but it failed and asked me to run the update again. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

ITunes error 9006

I'm using iTunes 10.5.3.3 (the latest) and am trying to download a movie I purchased, but it's stuck at 2.1MB of 1.65GB with error 9006. I download podcasts every day with no problems, so I'm at a loss to figure out why this one movie will not download.
I've tried downloading the movie at work (failed with error 9006)
I've tried downloading the movie at home(failed with error 9006)
I've tried downloading the movie at a Starbucks (failed with error 9006)
Clearly the problem is not the wireless service (it fails on any network I try).
It's not affecting any other purchases (music, podcasts, application updates), all of which download flawlessly every day (podcasts) or every few days (application updates).
Previoius movie downloads worked, so why, all of a sudden is this happening under such a very narrow set of circumstances?
It cannot be anti-virus related because, if it was, it would be affecting *ALL* download from iTunes, not just a single movie, so please don't reply with that as a suggestion because it's clearly not the answer and I refuse to waste my time on suggestions like that which only endanger my computer to attacks when those protections are turned off.

It's quite interesting how a business model like this survives: you pay your money, and you don't receive your product. Since much of the software that one tries to download on iTunes simply does not download, the business model should be changed to bill you AFTER the movies is successfully download, not before. Too much time and hassle is spent trying to get a credit because of iTunes unreliability issues.

Why are my movies not downloading? there is always coming error 9006 or it pretends that its loading but nothing is going...

No, once a user has been created, you can't run Setup Assistant (without erasing and reinstalling).
What do you recommend for fixing this?
Here's what's happened:
When you first start up a Mac and create the first user account, OSX assigns it UID (User ID) #501. The next one gets #502, etc. Those UIDs (not the user name) are what control permission to files.
You can see those numbers via System Prefs > Users & Groups; click the padlock and enter your Admin password, then select an account and right-click it, and select Advanced Options. Do not change anything on that window.
So . . . assume your old iMac had a user 501 with the data you want; it's identified that way on the backups.
When the Apple Store started up your new Mac, and created their account, it became #501.
When you used Migration Assistant to transfer the 501 account from the iMac's backups, OSX copied everything there "as is" except it had to change the 501 to 502.
The new 502 account has all the right permissions to things now in it's home folder, but the backups belong to user 501.
Have you added much to the Mac since you did the migration? Have you done any new backups? If not, while it's a bit of a hassle, one fix would be to create yet another user account temporarily. Make it an Admin account. Log on to it and delete all the other accounts. Then migrate the accounts from your backups; this time there won't be a conflict, so OSX won't have to change the UUID(s).
But if you have done new backups, this won't work, since Migration Assistant automatically uses the most recent backup. There's a way around that, but it's a bit (or more) tedious.
Clear as mud?
