Alternatively, the following article provides further information regarding this error and steps that can help resolve the issue.
"Error -50," "-5000," "8003," "8008," or "-42023"
These alerts occur due to timeouts or conflicts trying to write a file during download.

If you encounter this issue while while downloading Digital Copies using Windows:
Use MSCONFIG (directions for Windows XP and Windows Vista/Windows 7) to disable conflicting software.
If using MSCONFIG steps resolves the issue, you may want to use the System Configuration Utility to turn on the third-party System Services and Startup Items one at a time (restarting your computer after turning on the item or items) to identify which System Service or Startup Item is causing the conflict.
You can turn all of them back on by selecting the Normal Startup option under the General tab of the System Configuration Utility window, but please note that this may cause the issue to reoccur.
If you are able to isolate the issue to a particular third-party software, you may wish to contact them to let them know of the conflict.

I tried to empty the trash, full of back up file from my hard disk and it just says: "The operation can't be completed because an unexpected error occurred (error code -8003)"

I have an external hard disk of 319.73 GB that I use as back up memory and where I put all the movies and other files that I can't leave on the computer as they occupy too much memory space . One day I was deleting all the previous dated back up to have more space on it , but had to stop the trash for doing it cause it was taking too long and now every time that I try to empty the trash it just says "The operation can’t be completed because an unexpected error occurred (error code -8003)" and even if I press CONTINUE it won't empting it . I'm not really pratical with this things and I tried already to find out the solution here and on Google but apparently nobody ever had a similar error code and I don't know what else to do.
I've a MacBook Pro with a Mac OS X 10.6.8 Version.
Thanks again for the help and sorry if I did some english mistakes !
PEACE & LOVE

HT201250 i'm getting message: can't be opened because you don't have permission to see its contents. and he operation can't be completed because an unexpected error occurred (error code -8003).

I took my computer in to have the Backup restored onto my computer after having a new harddrive put onto my 1year 1/2 old MacBook Pro. When i got it home there was a new User that i had to logout of to getting into my normal user. Don't know why this was, just figured the Mac guys that installed my backup did this for some odd reason. Today i could not open any of my files in the backup on the time machine. All the folder had line going thought them and when i clicked on them I revieved this message: can’t be opened because you don’t have permission to see its contents. After talking with that same mac store. I decided to just delete all the files out of the time machine as it was just put back on my computer and i have everything i need. Hours later when i tried to empty the trash i got this messsage: the operation can’t be completed because an unexpected error occurred (error code -8003).
Any advise how to fix my problem?
thanks in advance

While you see a single trash can, in reality there are trash folders on each mounted volume. I don't use TM but what you are describing implies that a TM drive is no different with the way trash is treated. So when the TM is unmounted the trash folder on there is gone and thus the trash looks empty. Remount the drive, the trash folder on it now causes the trashcan to look like something is in it.
If TrashIt! could not remove the file, I'm sorry, you will need to use the terminal. We can do this one step at a time so you only have to copy/paste the lines into terminal (except the first time). So launch Terminal (in utilities). You might want to make the window that is shown a bit larger with the grow box since it's pretty small.
This first line is the only exception to the copy/pasting since you have to enter some information.
sudo ls -laR /Volumes/your-TM-volume-name/.Trashes
where your-TM-volume-name is the name of your TM volume. That's the part you have to fill in since I don't know it.
When you hit return the sudo in that command will cause a prompt for your admin password. Enter it and hit return again. Note the password will not be shown as you type it. Post the results so I can tell you what to do next.
Note this ls command is not doing anything but listing the files in the TM's .Trashes folder. Remember I said each drive has it's own trash folder. .Trashes is it.

How do I deal with error code -8003 ?

When I try to empty my Trash with a certain app in it I get error code -8003. I can't find reference to that code anywhere and do not know how to clean up the trash.
"The operation can’t be completed because an unexpected error occurred (error code -8003)."

Can someone help me with error 404 and 8003?

while trying to download episodes of prison break on itunes it stopped and stated that one episode could not download because of error 404 and that another couldnt because of err 8003. ONe of the errirs stated that it could not establish a connection wiht the server but meanwhile another episode downloaded. Can someone please help me.

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'm getting an error code -8003 when I try to empty my trash.

I recently emptied several old backup files from an external hard drive to the trash folder. Now when I attempt to empty the trash, I get this message: "The operation can't be completed because an unexpected error occurred (error code -8003). What should I do? I just took the computer and external hard drive to an apple store for genius support a few days ago and the tech fixed a few things. He advised me to empty the backup files, which is what I'm trying to do.

See this general resume of trash problems.
I suspect you've been trying to remove some of your Time Machine back ups.   Not a good idea without doing the necessary research first. Read about ways to solve Trash problems.

I get an error code -8003 when I try to empty the trash

I was about to run TechToolPro to defrag etc my external HD when I decided to reduce the size of the Time Machine file by removing the earliest two or three backups which date back to a year ago or so. I realize the error of my ways now but my thinking was to reduce the time it took to defrag etc.
I had put the files in my trash on the MBP 2.16 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo 4 Gb ram running 10.6.8 which at that time had about 11gib of HD space left. This action brought it down to 3.8 Gb left on the HD.
cannot
Now when I try to empty the HD I get an error code -8003 and the HD space remaining has reduced to about .5 Gb.
What are my options?
I also have a Super Duper backup.

ITunes 8003 error with Windows XP too

On Windows XP Pro I just downloaded 11 of 12 tracks. For the twelfth a 8003 error occured, with the message that the download was stopped because the network was interrupted. But the network is fine! I tried signing out/signing on and checking for purchases, but unfortunately the same result occurs.
Same than Kaderic on Mac...
What can I do ?

Thanks Timmy Y, but the problem has been solved.
Tonight downloading succeeded on the first try.
I think this is the site iTunes which was in trouble.
I suppose they have corrected the problem on this file since yesterday.
All is OK now !

Hi--

Many thanks!!

Hello tbsphoto,
Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
Based on the information that you have provided it looks like during the software update the device was not able to re connect to the Mac which in turn caused the 507 error on your BlackBerry Smartphone. The 507 error basically indicates that there is no OS on the device. This issue can be resolved by reloading the software on your BlackBerry Smartphone. I am attaching a link to our knowledge base with instructions on how to go about doing so on a Mac.

Empty trash The operation can't be completed because an unexpected error occurred (error code -8003).

I can't empty my trash. The operation can’t be completed because an unexpected error occurred (error code -8003).
I have started up in a guest account and that show empty trash bucket.
I have use 'option' or all three, control, option, command. and nothing works.
This has been a problem for about 3 weeks now.
I have an external WD hardrive for back up, these are the files that I try to erase - and I have unlocked each one, still no luck....
Can some one give me a hint what to do?
Jan

Don;
Plus all of you that have tried to help me with my 'empty trash' problem. I have it solved!
I am running a Western Digital external hard drive. I phoned them just now and they asked me to unplug the WD drive, and I reset the back up occasions, it was backing up every hour, which was way too often. The trash emptied when I unplugged and now I have rebooted and the trash is still empty
Thanks to all who gave me suggestions as to what I needed to do to empty my trash can! It had more than 1600 items living there. What a relief.
Jan

When trying to empty trash, (securely or not), I get this: The operation can't be completed because an unexpected error occurred (error code -8003).

When trying to empty trash, (securely or not), I get this: The operation can’t be completed because an unexpected error occurred (error code -8003). FWIW, there are nearly 3000 items in my Trash - although this does not seem the source of the problem.
