Every time I try to download something, my computer says The Network connection was lost. What can I do?

Its been doing this for larger files for a few weeks now. I don't know whats going on or how to fix it.

Does it partially download?
Can you connect via Ethernet to rule out wifi problem if you are now connected by wifi?

  • Every time I try to download something Safari closes itself

    Every time I try to download something Safari closes itself. What could be the problem?

    Try troubleshooting extensions and third party plug-ins.
    From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. Turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test. If that helped, turn one extension on then quit and relaunch Safari to test until you find the incompatible extension then click uninstall.
    If it's not an extensions issue, try troubleshooting third party plug-ins.
    Back to Safari > Preferences. This time select the Security tab. Deselect:  Allow plug-ins. Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
    If that made a difference, instructions for troubleshooting plugins here.

    Every time I try to download something(song or app) it shows it's downloading but it never does. What can I do?

    Reset the device:
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
    If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
    You will have to re enter your Wi-Fi password.
    No data is lost due to a reset.

    every time i try to download itunes my computer comes ups up with an error code half way through  down load error code 2330

    That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
    XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
    Vista instructions in the following document: Check your hard disk for errors
    Windows 7 instructions in the following document: How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)
    Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
    Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards?

  • Unable to check for available downloads. the network connection was lost

    in my downloads window in iTunes it shows i have "28 iTunes downloads available". when i try to download them, i get the error "Unable to check for available downloads. the network connection was lost."
    my connection is fine though, as i can individually download purchases by clicking on the cloud icon.

    I followed the advice on Holgr's link, i used screen flow to capture the error message, and then made the video available to apple support. My issue was immediately escalated, and my account started working again shortly after.
    I received no additional messages from tech support, i had no idea the problem was resolved until i tried it again.

    I have 3 downloads from yesterday that I receive this error code. Any ideas?
    Thank you!

    I may have stumbled upon something that could help. A type of "detour" around the problem.
    I just started experiencing this problem a few days ago. Anytime I'd try to download a song/video/movie, I would get the message, "Unable to check for available downloads. The network connection was reset".
    So, instead of selecting "Check for Available Downloads" under "Advanced" menu...
    I logged into "My Account" page in itunes. If there are available downloads it comes up at the top of the page with the option button "Download Now". When I select that -- it downloads immediately.
    Can't promise it will work every time. But it's worked for me so far. Good luck...

  • Unable to check for available downloads. The network connecting was lost.

    I have purchased a film on my Apple TV and now want to download it to my iTunes on my MacBook. I can see that I have 1 available download, but when i try to down load it, it just keeps saying:
    "Unable to check for available downloads. The networl connection was lost"
    I know there is not a problem if my network!
    is anyone else having the same problem? Is this a problem with iTunes or my MacBook?
    cheers

    Hello loz114,
    This is frequently due to an inability to establish or maintain a connection to the iTunes Store. The following article provides some useful information and troubleshooting steps that can help restore this connection.
