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.

Unable to check available dowloads. The network connection was lost.

I get this all the time in iTunes 12.1: "unable to check available dowloads. The network connection was lost."
Sometimes it does what it's supposed to do anyway, sometimes it doesn't. I also get the: "We could nor complete your iTunes Store request. The network connection was lost". If I sign out and back in that goes way, but item #1 is still showing up all the time. Even when nothing is apparently happening?

Error msg while downloading or visiting iTune store: "network connection was lost". Any idea about the problem?

I am getting for the last days a constant error msg while downloading or visiting iTune store: "network connection was lost" (sometimes also ways it was "reset" instead). But, the network is working (I can make othe rdownloads and visit to other internet sites). Any idea about the problem?

Mac server or Windows server? Have you checked her permissions/access vs another user not having the issue?

HT4550 I get a "network connection was lost" at the end of a download. filesize seems to be complete.

Trying to download a couple of documents from an iTunesU course. The file seems to download properly, then at the very end says that the "network connection was lost" and the file in finder has a .download filename suffix, e.g. Lecture 1_1.pdf.download. There are 2 files in the list that are doing this. The rest came down properly.
Is this a problem with safari or the download page I am using?
Any ideas about what to do next?

David...
Try posting in the iTunes U community as well > https://discussions.apple.com/community/itunes_u
Also, with iTunes open, click Help from the iTunes menu bar top of your screne.
Type iTunes U in the search field top right corner of that window.
Try turning off the Firewall in System Preferences > Security & Privacy (or just Security > Firewall

Network connection was lost for the file

Indesign CS4 6.0.6
2012 27" iMac
OSX 10.8
My InDesign has been crashing and I get the following two error messages.
"The network connection was lost for the file...
"Adobe InDesign is shutting down. A serious error was detected. Please restart InDesign to recover work in any unsaved InDesign documents."
As a result of the crash my Indesign file get deleted as well as the parent folder and all of its content including various file types. This has happened twice to me now, luckily I am running hourly backups but it is still extremely frustrating. I am not sure if this is a problem with the Adobe software or my mac server, but I thought I would start here first.
Thanks for any help that you can offer
- Katie

"Adobe InDesign is shutting down. A serious error was detected."
Normal, but arguably unacceptable behavior with InDesign if the network hiccups or stops while working accross a network. Adobe/InDesign does not formally support network work, which is insane in the typical environment.
The loss of a file or folder is not typical.

Safari shows "The network connection was lost" for all flv files on the internet. Firefox plays all

I upgraded to the lastest version of Flash to fix what I thought was a problem in Firefox. That problem turned out to be something else but now Safari will not play ANY flash content. I have uninstalled and reinstalled several times. I have even installed an older version. All of these have the exact same result. Flash works in Firefox but not in Safari. I have cleared the cache. I have gone into the flash securty settings and deleted all content. Nothing seems to change this. Anyone have any ideas?

Plug-Ins are installedand keep in mindthis problem affects all 3 browsers i am using IE9, Safari5 & Firefox 19NOT a SPECIFIC browser issuewhich is why i think it's either "Flash" (Adobe) or streaming web-site (Freedocast) issue.

I have the ipad2 with the latest Os upgrade. On certain websites, I get the following error message: cannot open page. Safari cannot open the page because the network connection was lost. I have rebooted, turned off wifi and reset the password.

This is happening to only certain websites. Unfortunately, the work ones that I need to access. I appreciate any help.
Error message:
Cannot open page
Safari cannot open the page because the network connection was lost
I reset the wifi and the password, I also rebooted several times.

Do you have any other browsers on your iPad? If you don't have one, why don't you try downloading one of these free browsers - they will all be "lite" versions (not full featured) - but if you can access these websites with one of those - then I assume that we can point to Safari as being the culprit. That will not solve the Safari problem, but it will give us another point from which to work.

I have Mercury, iCab Mobile, Opera, Dolphin and Atomic. iCab Mobile - the paid version is great.
BTW ... have you tried to access these sites from another WiFi connection - like a library, a friend's house - any other WiFi network?

Getting "safari cannot open the page because the network connection was lost" on a popular UK electrical retailer when trying to click and collect, yet I have excellent 3G and WIFI connections

When I try and use a click and collect service via a popular electrical retailers website in the UK I get " safari cannot open the page because the network connection was lost"
I have a superb WIFI connection and have tried it via 3G.
I am not getting this on other websites, however have recently updated Safari.
Any ideas?

Install Chrome and see if the problem lies with Safari...that's where it was with my mini.

Hotspot login cannot open the page because the network connection was lost. Why?

Everyttime I try to connect to the wifi, all I get is about a second of the phone saying it is connected, before I get a login page, with the web adress of "captive.apple.com".
The login page is black, and after about a second I get the message,
"Error Opening Page: Hotspot login cannot open the page because the network connection was lost"
I've tried restarting the phone, resetting the network data, everytihng I can think of but no luck.
How can I fix this?

Good day everybody. I had the same issue and I got crazy but keep up work on it about 1 week to have the resolution.
Here is the simple steps to overcome this problem:
1. Choose your Wifi and get connected
2. On Wifi page at the bottom Turn On 'Ask to Join Networks'
3. Connect to your Wifi,
4. After connecting, you will see a blue next to your selected Wifi
5. Press the blue and get into the connection detail of your wifi
6. Turn on Auto-Join
7. Turn Off Auto-Login
8. Close settings
9. Go to Safari log with Hotel, Business wifi page
Trick is the Auto-Login must be turned off

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.

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...

Hi - when I check for available downloads I get the message "unable to check for downloads the network connection was lost" this isn't a network problem as I can download directly (just cannot check for downloads) on any of my Mac's PLEASE HELP!!
