ITunes downloading error 8003

Downloading episodes of The Daily Show, which used to download quite satisfactorily, now we get "error code 8003" at random times and the download stops. Quitting and restarting usually allows us to restart the download.
However, another problem then surfaces. Before, if the download would be interrupted by a temporary internet problem the downloading would resume from the spot where it stopped (so if 78kb had come in and downloading was interrupted, when we'd restart it would start from 78kb and continue). Now whenever there's an interruption it goes back to zero. Since it takes about 3 hours to download an episode, it's a constant and time-consuming crapshoot to see whether we ever actually get a full episode in before something goes wrong.
Any enlightment on the error code? Or a setting or something that can be tweaked to stop the downloads from going back to zero when interrupted?

Open Console in Utilities & see if there are any clues or repeating messages when this happens.

Itunes download error 8003

I have been getting an error message of 8003 while trying to download previous purchases from the store. Some of the purchases have started to download but now they all show the 8003 error. Any Ideas out there?

This the diagnostics from my pc:

However, my main problem and area of concern is my downloads. I can download songs without hassle but i cannot download large video files. I start downloading like halfway of a 450mb file (TV Show) then it either disconnects "saying that no connection has broken) or when I press pause, then resume again, my downloads start all from zero kb. My internet connection is stable and does not go off.
I am really desperate here. Can someone please help me get my tv show videos to completely download without hassle.

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!

ITunes Store Error 8003

I was downloading extras for a movie of mine and got error 8003. My network is fine, iTunes has full access to the Internet; if it didn't the movie wouldn't download would it? Really trying to avoid messing with my system configuration (Windows 7). Is it really my computer, because I had the Arrow PDF Booklet have problems downloading recently too; it appeared to download but then wouldn't open. I think it's a problem with the extras, how they're uploaded to the store or something, because previous extras downloaded just fine without me having to change a thing.

How did you contact iTunes Support ? If it's a new purchase then you could try the 'report a problem' page to contact iTunes Support (and refer them to this thread, iTunes Store: iTunes LP Error 8003, to show that it's not just you having the problem) : http://reportaproblem.apple.com

ITunes Store: iTunes LP Error 8003

I've downloaded 2 albums with iTunes LP. The songs from said albums download just fine but the part of these albums containing the LP content fails for both albums.
This happens every time I try to download these:
I've checked my firewall settings, and since I can download songs from the store, I don't think it's having connection issues.
Any ideas? Any LP album I own does this.

I just set up my new iMac, and receive error messages when trying to purchase from the iTunes store (error 8003) or update from the App store (error 403 forbidden). THOUGHTS?

I am not sure what you mean by "Flash Player for steam"; the only Flash Player installers I know is the ActiveX (for Internet Explorer) and the plugin (for other browsers); you can find both at http://helpx.adobe.com/content/help/en/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player- windows.html#main-pars_header

ITunes download error "Service "Apple Mobile Device Service"

How do I get past the iTunes download error message: "Service "Apple Mobile Device Service" failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privilege to start system services." ?
I have tried ignoring, trying again, and canceling and reloading. I most recently downloaded the exe file, then from the download file right clicked to "run as Administrator" use an HP Pavillion g7 Notebook PC with 64-bit operating system and Windows 7. How can I get past this message?

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The section Install missing components may allow you to install Apple Mobile Device Support without removing other components.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

Download Error (8003)

I keep getting af download error (8003), when i try to rent and download a movie. The movie is stuck on 79%. It just says "Download Error (8003)".
There is nothing wrong with my connection. Yesterday i rented two movies with no problem at all.
What is wrong?

Hi
sorry to jump into the middle of a thread but I have had the same problem and Apple suggested I check the forum. Just wanted to make sure I have understood your instructions correctly. I assume you are talking about the Apple TV remote control. That being the case I do not have volume control on mine. Page 27 of the guide shows a picture of the remote and the button above the Menu Button designates the top as "Menu up/scroll" and the bottom as "Menu down/scroll". When you say volume do you mean the Menu down/scroll portion of the button.
Thanks

I have 3 songs that will not download and the volume of error messages from Itunes about these "3" is annoying. I know my way around Itunes but cannot find a way to delete them and stop these Itunes download error messages.

Thank you.

Thanks Mohammad - much appreciated.
I also got a response from Apple who said that there was a problem related to fonts and the encryption.xml file
Once we'd removed this we were able to upload the epub no problem.
It's odd that the system seems to say that all is okay when it isn't. We have to rely on guesswork rather a lot using iBook Producer.
Anyway, all sorted now and thank you again for your contribution.
Best wishes and a Happy New Year!

Download error 8003 on itunes 10.5 on Win XP Pro

Does anyone know what this error is? My windows xp pro was recently upgraded to itunes 10.5 to support an iPad. things were ok for a day, now I cannot download the "free apps" i "purchased". I get error 8003 which says "check network connection". I ran the itunes diagnostics which says passed: accessed Store, simulated purchase, etc. I tried to download from directly from/to the iPad and iTouch and get the same error. I "repaired" my itunes installation. Seems like the problem is at Apple or maybe my account information? I enter my password ok for my account, it shows my purchases, etc... Help?!

Try the "Error -50," "-5000," "8003," "8008," or "-42023" section in the Specific Conditions and Alert Messages: (Mac OS X / Windows) section of the following document:
iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting

Problem Downloading: Error 8003

I am unable to download all but one episode of The Tudors that I recently purchased. I keep getting a message saying there was an unknown error (8003).
I purchased the entire HD Season 2 of this series, and only one episode downloaded. How do I get the rest of the episodes that I paid for?? This error has been happening for the past several days, so, clearly there's a problem with the iTunes Store which won't let me download what I paid for.

Doublechecking. Have you tried the "Error -50," "-5000," "8003," "8008," or "-42023" section in the Specific Conditions and Alert Messages: (Mac OS X / Windows) section of the following document?

Error Restarting Download - Error 8003

I cant restart a download that was interrupted by my internet connection dying. I get an error 8003 - any help?

I just had this problem on 2 tracks I was downloading/upgrading to iTunes Plus. Disabling my Privoxy adblocking proxy did the trick. The proxy didn't affect the other 190+ tracks and vids I had, but my cable modem seized up like 5 times during the redownload (Commiecast :/), so I assume that an interrupted download recovery doesn't play nice nice with proxies..
Presumably this would also get you if you run a proxy for antivirus as well.
HTH!

ITunes download error on the iPad

I bought some videos on iTunes (episodes of 2 TV seasons). Most everything downloaded with no problems but there are 7 that didn't complete and show up on the iTunes download page as "Download error. Tap to retry."
If I follow the directions and tap, the message briefly changes "waiting" then back to "download error. Tap to retry" and a moment later, a dialog box shows up that says "Unable to download episode. <episode title inserted> could not be downloaded at this time."
On the videos app, those episodes showed up but wouldn't play. I was able to delete the seasons by clicking on the Edit button on the TV Shows page, but still the iTunes Downloads icon shows a "7" badge.
I tried downloading those episodes again but that didn't work.
Any advice?

I found the answer to my question in another part of this discussion forum. I'm adding it here in case someone else sees my original post and wants to see the solution.
To get rid of the download error, go to the download page and find the small down-pointing arrow icon next to the "download error. Tap to retry." text. Put your finger on the down-pointing arrow icon and flick (quick short swipe) to the left. The down-pointing arrow icon will be replaced with a "delete" button. Tap the delete button. Then confirm the delete in the modal popup window.
That's it. An easy solution, even though it took me many hours to find the answer.

"Error 3001," "-42110," or "5103"

Make sure you are using the most recent version of iTunes and QuickTime. They both can be downloaded free of charge.
If your iTunes is up to date, remove the SC Info folder.
