ITunes connection reset for all purchased content - won't download!

Hello,
I see many archived messages about this issue, however, it is a new problem for me.  I have until now been able to download entire Seasons of shows without an issue, without interruption.  Now, a single half-hour episode in standard definition fails. 
Suddenly, any purchased content in iTunes - movies, TV shows, etc. - will not download into my Library, and I get a "network connection was reset" error.  I am running iTunes 11.1.5 on Mavericks.
Recently I purchased & installed MacKeeper.  I know it is a long shot, since this appears to be a network issue, but it is the only "change" introduced in recent weeks. 
Hoping you can assist.
Thank you.

Well, I am very doubtful the issue was ever ISP related - I am not on Comcast nor even on cable (fioptics phone). And several other threads show many different ISP's across the globe were involved! Hence Apple Support seems to have indeed been trying to offload the problem... especially in light of what happened to me today!
I just upgraded to iTunes 11.2 and OS X 10.9.3 with the same positive results as harrharr's post, with either or both updates fixing the problem!
I downloaded 3 large movie files (make that 5 as 2 more just finished as I edited this!), each about 1GB in size with "Allow simultaneous downloads" on. All files finished on their own!! I haven't even come close to these results this week with the last movie I downloaded Wed taking over 15 restarts to finish! Now, I could be off to a lucky Fri, AND it could be either the iTunes or OS X update that fixed it (installed both at the same time so can't determine which one did it). Either way, it appears to be fixed and as I suspected the problem was on the Apple side, not anything I did with my router or any change from my ISP. Fingers crossed!
That said, if it is fixed, shame on you iTunes and Apple Support! Why do you continue to either (1) be so out of touch with your own products (developers not sharing what they are fixing?) or (2) so secretive admitting something you have might be broken and you are working on a fix! So darn frustrating...
So try iTunes 11.2 and OS X 10.9.3 updates and see if it works for you too!

  • Purchased content won't download

    My Apple TV, which I just reconnected after a long hiatus, won't download/stream my purchased movies or TV shows from iTunes. It just gives me the circular spinning wheel for a long time (I once left it going for half an hour). It shows everything else (Netflix, movie previews, Hulu Plus, etc.)
    I believe this is the Apple TV version 2. I tried to do the most recent software update, but it failed.

    Hey Dan,
    If you are having an issue with playing content from the iTunes Store on your Apple TV, I would suggest first restarting the Apple TV. See this article -
    How to restart your Apple TV - Apple Support
    If you continue to experience the issue, you will need to restore the Apple TV. See this article -
    Apple TV (2nd and 3rd generation): Restoring your Apple TV - Apple Support
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Be well,

  • "HDCP content won't play on this display" error for all purchased content after upgrading to Yosemite

    Using my 2013 Mac Pro with a 27" Cinema Display, I'm now getting an error that tells me that my display isn't authorized for HDCP content.
    This is the same machine I've been using right along to watch my iTunes content with no configuration or hardware changes... the only difference is the switch to Yosemite and the accompanying iTunes upgrade.
    I've tried the basics - rebooting, reconnecting the display etc - but based on the circumstances it feels more like a bug than something I'll be able to impact.
    Anyone?

    The issue is from Safari defaulting to HTML5 vs using Silverlight like it did in Mavericks.
    So the options are, if you want to use Safari goto your Netflix account, playback preferences and turn off HTML5. This will revert to Silverlight and will AirPlay fine*in Safari.
    If you want to use HTML5, just leave the setting for HTML5 on in Netflix and use Chrome, Firefox, etc.
    You can't currently have both Safari and HTML5 Netflix when using AirPlay. You'd think Safari would be a little bit more powerful with Apples stances on browser extensions.

  • IPad Mini reset and now purchased apps won't download for free.

    Okay, so I just accidently got my iPad Mini in restore mode and I had to restore it. I didn't have any backups. After that, all went well, I didn't care much that some of my apps were gone. However, even though I'm logged into my apple ID that I downloaded it with, Minecraft PE costs money! So do all the other apps that I purchased before. I don't want to have to re-buy something that I already had! How can I fix this?

    Go to Setting > iTunes & App Stores > Tap on your Apple ID and select Sign Out.
    Restart your iPad.
    Go to the App Store and download any free app.
    Once it's done installing, Go back to the App Store, then tap 'Purchased' at the bottom
    You should at least see the new free app at this point.
    Let me know how that goes.

  • I rented a movie and itunes charged me for it, but it won't download completely. what to do?

    it says I have an insecure internet connection, but I tried downloading it on three different wireless networks that all said "connected." is there a way I can report this problem to itunes?

    Try closing the videos app and the. Launch it again and see if the movie will start playing again. You might even reset the iPad after you close the app.
    To close an app, drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • HT1657 How can I download all purchased content before changing my info account?

    How can I download all purchased content before changing my info account?

    You can always setup your GMail account on your Mac as a POP3 account, and then flag GMail to mark all messages new.  The next mail check would cause your mail app to download all the messages on teh GMail server to your mail client.  Once they are in your mail client, you manage them locally in there, and it won't matter if the GMail host account goes away or not, because POP3 works with the local data once it is downloaded form the server.
    Be advised that doing this can cause you to redownload thousands (or hundreds of thousands) of emails depending upon your email volume and how long you have been using GMail.  If I do this, my GMail wants to re-send close to 6GB of data to me again because I have been using GMail for about as long as it has existed, and I average 100-200 emails a day on that account.

  • Is there a way to force enable wmode=direct for all Flash content on all webpages ?

    I need a way to force enable wmode=direct for all Flash content that's running regardless of the webpage the Flash content is runing on.
    If there isn't a way to do so now, please enable this as fast as you can in the next version of Flash.
    I've read somewhere that if there's no wmode setting on the page like opaque, transparent, direct or hw the flash content will run in wmode=window setting so it would be very easy to change that and force Flash to use wmode=direct instead.
    This could be done by adding wmode=direct line to mms.cfg or even add Force wmode=direct to Flash Settings, easy as that.
    I really don't wanna hear the arguments why force enable wmode=direct for all Flash content regardless of webpage is not indicated to do, just do it, I really need this wmode=direct feature to be always on simple as that.
    I know that on some webpages some content might run behind flash content by doing so but I really don't care cause I know what sites I'm using and what Flash content I'm runing so just enable it.
    Waiting for all websites to implement wmode=direct would take ages and I don't have time to waste instead I wanna enable this feature by now since I have seen what a big difference it makes by runing Flash accelerated instead of software decoding.

    You will not get what you need using stamps, especially if you ever want to use dynamic XFA forms.
    The digital signatures that were signed with a self-signed digital ID won't fully validate unless the user chooses to trust the corresponding digital certificate first. You should only trust a digital certificate if you trust its source. The problem is using self-signed IDs will be difficult to use on the scale you're talking about.
    Digital signatures are the best approach for your needs. They can provide both nonrepudiation of document origin as well as document integrity. You just have to figure out how to implement a solution you can afford.
    You agency can become its own certificate authority and issue certificates to its employees. You'd just have to find a way to implement and manage such a system.

  • HT2534 Best practice in setting up an iTunes Connect account for my business

    I have a personal iTunes account but I want to create a separate business account so that I can sign up for iTunes Connect to create books? Any suggestions? Should I create a new iTune account or not. I would like to keep them separate but I don't need any of the other iTunes offereings such as music, etc. I just want an account so that I can open the ITunes Connect. Has anyone done that - with or without separating it from their personal. Actually, I have two businesses which deal with publishing so I would probably want Separate iTunes Connect accounts for both of them.  Help?

    Hi Andy,
    Unfortunately, your registration experience seems to be fairly common. It tooks about 8 business days for us to receive our final approval.
    One thing to confirm - about a day or two after submitting the original request, I received an email stating that I needed to review and execute the iTunes U Service agreement. Did you receive that email? It took about another 6 business days after that to complete the process.
    Another thing to check - did you designate someone else as your Site Manager? That is the person that will recieve the final approval notice and the steps to initialize the site.

    I created two iTunes accounts:  one for business purchases and one for personal.  However, when I try to purchase an iBook on my personal account only the business account information appears, and my business password is requested.  How can I select a different account depending on the type of purchase I am making?

    You would have to sign out of the store with that AppleID and sign in with the alternate AppleID.
    Settings -> iTunes & App Stores -> tap the Apple ID showing, logout, then login.
    Beware thought that you can only change a device's AppleID association once every 90 days.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4627
    So if you do this, you will not be able to use the other AppleID on that device for 90 days.

  • Configure "reset" for all default signatures

    Hi all,
    When I update signature (all default signature by Cisco), I want to configure "action: reset" for all default signatures (all default signatures that are turned on) . If you know how to do that, please answer me.
    Thank you very much.
    Duy Khang

    Do you mean after each sig update? You can go into the sig configuration and do a "select by" release. you will get a drop-down box of releases, select the appropriate release. You can then sort by enabled. select multiple sigs at a time by using the shift key. now click the actions button to change multiple sigs at once.

  • HT201272 Is there an easy to visualize all the content I have downloaded on my Apple ID?

    I need to to change the country of my Apple ID. The problem is that if I do so all the content that I have downloaded won't show up anymore on the "purchased tab", which is very annoying, so I was wondering if there is a quick way to visualize all the content that I have already payed for and saved it on a file, so every time I want to download a paid app I can go and check in this list if I have already payed for it.
    I understand that on iTunes I can see all the apps I've downloaded but it would be just impossible to get all this data from there manually(possible but it would take a LOT of time).
    By the way... why the purchased tab clears out if we change the country linked to the AppStore? I understand that for most people this is not an issue since most people will not move countries. But I don't see any technical difficulties for allowing such a thing.
