ITunes error 9006

I'm using iTunes 10.5.3.3 (the latest) and am trying to download a movie I purchased, but it's stuck at 2.1MB of 1.65GB with error 9006. I download podcasts every day with no problems, so I'm at a loss to figure out why this one movie will not download.
I've tried downloading the movie at work (failed with error 9006)
I've tried downloading the movie at home(failed with error 9006)
I've tried downloading the movie at a Starbucks (failed with error 9006)
Clearly the problem is not the wireless service (it fails on any network I try).
It's not affecting any other purchases (music, podcasts, application updates), all of which download flawlessly every day (podcasts) or every few days (application updates).
Previoius movie downloads worked, so why, all of a sudden is this happening under such a very narrow set of circumstances?
It cannot be anti-virus related because, if it was, it would be affecting *ALL* download from iTunes, not just a single movie, so please don't reply with that as a suggestion because it's clearly not the answer and I refuse to waste my time on suggestions like that which only endanger my computer to attacks when those protections are turned off.

It's quite interesting how a business model like this survives: you pay your money, and you don't receive your product. Since much of the software that one tries to download on iTunes simply does not download, the business model should be changed to bill you AFTER the movies is successfully download, not before. Too much time and hassle is spent trying to get a credit because of iTunes unreliability issues.

Check your security software
Related errors: 2, 4, 6, 9, 1000, 1611, 9006. Sometimes security software can prevent your device from communicating with either the Apple update server or with your device.
Check your security software and settings to make sure that they aren't preventing a connection to the Apple servers.
Resolve issues between iTunes and security software
If you can’t open iTunes, download content, sync your device, or use Home Sharing, you might have an issue with security software.
What you might see
Security software created by companies other than Apple can prevent iTunes from connecting to Apple servers. Sometimes, you might see a numeric error message when you sync, update, back up, or restore your device:
iTunes won’t open
You can’t connect to iTunes Store to buy or download content
iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch won't back up, restore, update, sync, or activate with iTunes
iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch isn't recognized by iTunes
iPod isn't recognized by iTunes.
iPod won't sync with iTunes.
Apple TV won’t restore with iTunes
iTunes Error 4 or iTunes Error 6
iTunes Error 1630–1641
iTunes Errors between 3000–3999. Example: iTunes Error 3004 or iTunes Error 3014
iTunes Errors between 9000–9999. Example: iTunes Error 9006 or iTunes Error 9844
Get started
First try these basic steps to see if they resolve the issue. If they don’t, continue to the next section.
Set the correct date, time, and time zone on your computer.
Log in to an administrative user account.
Get the latest version of iTunes.
Update OS X or Windows, and update your security software.
Configure your software
After you update your security software, configure it to let iTunes communicate through the ports and servers listed here. Configuration steps vary by software, so contact the developer for specifics. Blocked ports are often related to numbered errors in the 3000 range.
Ports: 80 and 443
Apple servers:
phobos.apple.com
deimos3.apple.com
albert.apple.com
gs.apple.com
itunes.apple.com
ax.itunes.apple.com
Verisign servers:
evintl-ocsp.verisign.com
evsecure-ocsp.verisign.com
Find a more complete list of ports used by Apple products
. You might also need to configure your security software to allow specific services
to run.
Remove your software and proxies
If your PC or router is using proxy settings, try connecting to the iTunes Store without using an Internet proxy
. On a PC, you can use the built-in diagnostics in iTunes to test your connections and generate reports
.If the issue continues, disable or uninstall your security software temporarily, but first note any licenses and confirm you can reinstall the software.
Restart your computer and try to connect with iTunes again.
Check your hosts file to verify that it's not blocking iTunes from communicating with the update server.
When you’re done with these steps, re-install and re-enable your security software to keep your system safe. If uninstalling your security software resolved the issue, contact the developer to help you configure the software to work with iTunes.
Test connectivity
If you’re still having issues using AirPlay, Home Sharing, iTunes, or Remote, test the connectivity between the computers or devices in your house. They need to be connected to the same network and subnet.

i got my new iphone 4s , can not download the OS 5 it says error 9006 on my windows 7. also the phone does not show the capacity and serial number details on the itunes summery ?? please help

Hi Kevin,
The iPhone 4S comes automatically loaded with iOS 5, and any updates after iOS 5.0 can be completed directly from on the phone in Settings > General > Software Update. If you are having trouble using iTunes to update software, I suggest you reset iTunes so that you can pair your phone to the computer again, because if you can't see the serial number and capacity, that generally means your phone isn't paired. For any problems this doesn't fix, please contact Apple directly through their automated help line, 1(800)MYAPPLE.

I have an iPhone 5, yesterday it wasn't receiving any signal. I reset it and when it cam back on it said plug into iTunes, i did that but now it comes up with error 9006 and 39. What do i do, i have tried different wires, and different plug

I have an iPhone 5, yesterday it wasn't receiving any signal. I reset it and when it cam back on it said plug into iTunes, i did that but now it comes up with error 9006 and 39. What do i do, i have tried different wires, and different plug in holes, I've left it for the night and tired again this morning.

Error code 9006 is related to the computer's security software settings, 39 is not listed inResolve iOS update and restore errors try turning the security/anti-virus software off if you are using something like that. Then you may need to restore via the recovery mode since that is what the graphic of a USB wire connecting to iTunes means, it has already entered recovery mode...see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808 for instructions on recovery mode restoring.

I keep getting the error message 'error 9006' when i try to update my iphone and ipad with iOS 6.1.2 - HELP

Can any one help me.
I'm having an continued issue with my phone/ipad 2 and updating it.
I've tried (unsuccessfully) 7 or 8 times to update my iphone 4s with the latest update (iOS 6.1.2) but it gets 30 minutes in to the update and then an error message comes up (error 9006) and it gives me no option but to click ok and it.
I've tried using different USB cables, different ports in my laptop, even uninstalling I Tunes and reinstalling and starting again - nothing seems to work.
I've contacted my network provider who's referred me to Apple but they are closed (I'll try again during business hours).
I'm updating it on my laptop using an internet dongle (as i dont have WIFI - All updates have been done like this and i've never had a problem before) and I have windows 7 software..
Is there anyone who's encountered the same issue?
Any suggestions would be greatly appriciated?

Ipod nano 6G error 9006

After several months I found my Ipod Nano again. In the meanwhile, I switched from Android to Iphone 5s and got quite common with ITunes.
ITunes does find the Ipod, but states, that he is in "maintenance mode" and needs to be restored by ITunes - done so, updated ITunes to newest version, IPhone works well, but when downloading newest IPod Nano software, at the end of the 4-5 minutes download I receive error message "unkown error 9006".
I've presed power button together with vol - also for x-times, but unsucessful.
Is there any hint I haven't been able to find via google??
Please advise

That one can indicate a security software issue. In the course of your troubleshooting to date, have you worked through the following document?

I am getting Error = 9006 when downloading some Podcasts

I am getting Error = 9006 when downloading a podcast, Derb Radio on TakiMag, but not other podcasts. It started occurring recently, about 3 of the last 4. This occurs on both a Windows and Apple machine. iTunes is updated. It does not occur with other podcasts. Then end result is that the podcast does not download.
I also get a "rebuffering stream" interruption during playback on the computer.

Trying to update Ipad2 from IOS 5.1 to IOS 6.1 but I get an error 9006

I'm trying to update my Ipad2 from IOS 5.1 to IOS 6.1 but I get an error 9006. I've tried updating several times but I get the same networking error. I've tried disabling my computer and router firewalls, and made sure I have up to date Itune program, I even run the diagnostics on itunes and comes up that all connections are ok. I also tried connecting directly from my modem, I still got the same result. Now my Ipad has just the Itunes logo and a usb cable that's showing on it's screen. I'm hoping I can get help with this because it seems like my Ipad is un-usable in this state. Thanks in advance.
PS: I also have an Apple TV 3 that's asking me to update, I run the update but it failed and asked me to run the update again. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.
