I copied this from a thread the other day and this poster claimed that this worked for him...
This actually has a very simple fix, that has worked all the times I have seen it.   Simple go to Settings > Safari >  Then reset the cookies, Reset the Cache, and Reset the History.  Now turn the iPad off and then on again.  It should work fine now.

  • 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.

  • I keep getting error (-9808) when I try to download a podcast or song

    I keep getting error (-9808) when I try to download a podcast or song. I have searched the discussions & help section, but cannot find this error code anywhere. How do I fix this? Thanks. Jeff

    OK, you turned off your filewall, but did you disable Norton Internet Security completely? For some issues just disabling the firewall is not enough. I once had a connection problem with Gracenote that went away when NIS was disabled, but turning off every element of NIS individually and together did not work.
    Some people have found adding the following to trusted domains helped:

    Occasionally flushing the DNS Resolver cache helps:

    Are you able to connect to the store normally with just downloading affected, or is there a general store connection problem?
    The other thing is have you run your network diagnostics from the iTunes Help menu? Posting the result might help.

    Sometimes this will work as well when you get that message. It's easy to do. Try it before you do anything else.
    Go to Settings>Safari>Clear History, Cookies and Cache or Data. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

  • I keep getting error messages when I try to download iTunes

    I have had iTunes on my computer for years.  With the latest software update, iTunes will no longer work on my computer.  I cannot get it to open.  I have uninstalled and tried to re-install.  I keep getting the error message that Apple Mobile Device is not working.  iTunes will not even open.  I have tried to re-install several times. 
    My computer still uses Vista OS, I know it's a dinosaur, but we really only use the PC to surf the internet, print a few documents here and there and to sync with iTunes.
    I am restarting each time I've unistalled and then tried to re-install again.
    Any advice?

    I've disabled my firewall...I've done everything I've read about in the forums...Please help !!

  • Keep getting Error -37 when I try to download music

    I recently purchased a $15 dollar iTunes card at Sam Goody, and I put it on my iTunes account and when I tried to buy songs, the song would be in my pending downloads but I'm unable to download it fully because everytime I try I get an error message saying that the file name is too long or invalid. I sent a message to support about this and they said to upgrade my iTunes software to iTunes 7.0 and to turn off my firewall. I did this, and I still get the same error message, -37. What does this mean and how can I fix it?

    Also try turning off any anti-virus or web accelerators you have running. Firewalls aren't the only things that can cause errors. Disconnecting your router (if you have one) and connecting directly to your broadband modem may help as well. Give it a go. No harm in trying.
