Error Restarting Download - Error 8003

I cant restart a download that was interrupted by my internet connection dying. I get an error 8003 - any help?

I just had this problem on 2 tracks I was downloading/upgrading to iTunes Plus. Disabling my Privoxy adblocking proxy did the trick. The proxy didn't affect the other 190+ tracks and vids I had, but my cable modem seized up like 5 times during the redownload (Commiecast :/), so I assume that an interrupted download recovery doesn't play nice nice with proxies..
Presumably this would also get you if you run a proxy for antivirus as well.
HTH!

TS1424 I bought an album that also came with music videos. All the songs downloaded properly, but none of the videos. Next to them it said Stopped-Error 3150, I tried to restart the downloads and now most just say Stopped, some say Stopped-Error 8003. Hel

I bought an album that also came with music videos. All the songs downloaded properly, but none of the videos. Next to them it said Stopped-Error 3150, I tried to restart the downloads and now most just say Stopped, some say Stopped-Error 8003, which means Network issues, but after checking, I found there are no issues with my network. Help?

I am having this same problem with my brand new Mac Pro. It seems to be tied to the computer awaking from sleep (no I am not leaving the iPod connected while sleep... I am referring to waking the computer from sleep and then connecting iPod as opposed to restarting the computer and then connecting the iPod). In other words, if you are getting this error message, try ejecting the iPod, restart your computer, then connect the iPod and see if the error message goes away. For me it does, but I only get one shot at it, if I eject the iPod and then reconnect it, the error message returns. This happens on both iPods I have. I have rebooted (hold menu-select) and gone to disc mode (hold select-play) and the error message remains. The only way it goes away is to reboot the computer, then I get one shot at hooking up an iPod.
I NEVER had nor get this error message when I connect to the Windows PC that I started with. Perhaps the iPod does not like moving from PC to Mac?

When trying to download from iTunes, I keep getting the "error 8003" message, while trying to download. What does it mean? What should I do? Help!

I keep getting the message "error 8003", while trying to download a pre-purshased TV show from iTunes. What does it mean? What should I do?
Help!

Have you tried exiting iTunes and restarting? The times I've seen this error this has worked. After restarting iTunes the program asks me to sign into my account and then the downloads begin.

Partial Duplicate Downloads (Error 8003)

One evening I set a TV series to download on my ATV. The next morning I noticed that episodes were down loading on my iMac. When that had finished, I had a complete series (and nothing else) on my Mac. However, when I return to my ATV as well as all the complete episodes I also have some partial duplicates shown. These files are listed in the downloads menu as 1% complete with the message Download error 8003.
What I think happened is that my wireless connection was interrupted over night so the episodes could not down load to the ATV. Before this happened, however, the ATV synced and put them in my iTunes down load queue, where they happily downloaded and then were synced back to the ATV.
I have all the episodes so its not a big problem, but I have all this junk showing on my ATV (so a series is listed as having 12 episodes when it only has 8: I have episodes 1 to 8, plus partial duplicates of episodes 1 to 4).
Any ideas how to erase the junk from my ATV (it doesn't appear in iTunes)?

Click the AppleTV device in iTunes to get the tabbed sync menus - if there aren't many tabs you may need to select to 'custom sync' on the ones available. My sync computer has failed so I can't check the exact option.
There are several posible ways to sort this, some more time consuming than others.
Those items which directly downloaded to AppleTV may have a trash can icon next to them when they're the current scrolled to item - if so you could just delete them direct from AppleTV.
Other alternatives would be to remove the sync computer from AppleTV Settings>Computers which will delete all synced data in preparation for a new sync library - it may not remove direct AppleTV downloads though - quick to try but you'd need to add the library agaim with the 5 digit code from this menu and resync stuff. Another alternative would be a factory restore, update software then add back the sync library but this is a last resort in my opinion.
Did the duplicates sync back to iTunes? If so deleting them from there may remove them from AppleTV at the next sync.
Oh, how I wish you could drag and drop files to AppleTV in iTunes, and delete/recover content from it in the same way!

I keep getting error 8003 when I try to download tv shows on itunes...how do I solve it?

Help...I keep getting Error 8003 when I try to download TV shows I've bought on itunes. It says to check I have an active connection. I do! I can watch iView and SBS on demand with no problems. I had the connection checked by a technician.
What can I do?

Error 8003 is described here. The article is a bit dated, but I suspect the writeup is still valid.

ITunes error 8003 and dowloads restart at 0

I have been trying to download Discovery Atlas Italy for several weeks. I have a very poor internet connection that is maybe in the neighborhood of 128 k. I keep getting error 8003 while I am downloading the file and it resets to 0. The most I have been able to download is 600 MB. In past experiences iTunes saved download progress and there was an option to pause iTunes store purchases. I no longer have this ability and I am uncertain why. Any ideas are greatly appreciated.

Download Error (8003)

I keep getting af download error (8003), when i try to rent and download a movie. The movie is stuck on 79%. It just says "Download Error (8003)".
There is nothing wrong with my connection. Yesterday i rented two movies with no problem at all.
What is wrong?

Hi
sorry to jump into the middle of a thread but I have had the same problem and Apple suggested I check the forum. Just wanted to make sure I have understood your instructions correctly. I assume you are talking about the Apple TV remote control. That being the case I do not have volume control on mine. Page 27 of the guide shows a picture of the remote and the button above the Menu Button designates the top as "Menu up/scroll" and the bottom as "Menu down/scroll". When you say volume do you mean the Menu down/scroll portion of the button.
Thanks

Download error 8003 on itunes 10.5 on Win XP Pro

Does anyone know what this error is? My windows xp pro was recently upgraded to itunes 10.5 to support an iPad. things were ok for a day, now I cannot download the "free apps" i "purchased". I get error 8003 which says "check network connection". I ran the itunes diagnostics which says passed: accessed Store, simulated purchase, etc. I tried to download from directly from/to the iPad and iTouch and get the same error. I "repaired" my itunes installation. Seems like the problem is at Apple or maybe my account information? I enter my password ok for my account, it shows my purchases, etc... Help?!

Error 8003 when downloading ITunes

Please HELP. I clicked on a story to download, and when it tries to download to me I get an "error 8003" and won't let me downlaod any more music. I don't know how to delete that one story.

I have just received an e-mail from Apple iTunes Support and they have issued me with a FULL refund of the purchase price of Avatar and the ( seemingly ) unobtainable iTunes Extras!
I seemed to be getting nowhere after Apples iTunes Support put me through the ringer making me re-try the download ( twice! ); delete my downloads folder and re-try the download AGAIN; and finally having to re-setup my old HP DV7 laptop ( I'm currently using a 17" MacBook Pro Retina ) and retry the download yet AGAIN!
Needless to say the outcome in each case was exactly the same! Avatar the movie downloads perfectly and The Extras file fails at zero% with TWO error 8003s!
Through all this I did everything, no matter how seemingly stupid it seemed that was asked of me and CONTINUED to insist that the fault was on their side and NOT mine!
iTunes support have finally advised me that they don't know when or even IF the file will be checked/repaired and in view of that and that I am a valued customer ( I'd want to be after buying 1.5TB of Music, Movies and TV Shows ) that they would refund me the FULL price I paid for the Movie and Extras!!
So, I would urge ALL of those who have written to this forum to write again to iTunes Support and DEMAND full refund for a faulty product ( the Movie PLUS Extras ), citing MY SUCCESS as precedent for that refund.
I'm saddened that it seems impossible to make Apple fix this file, but at the very least we should be re-imbursed for our trouble ( and our ability to put up with sh*t <sigh> )
So, good luck and start demending your right to a FULL refund!
Christine

Connected iPad to iTunes to download updates. iTunes reports error 8003.
Is this the right discussion there?
What to do, please?
