Movie download error (8008)

I've seen a number of threads on this error dating back to 2008 but nobody seems to have found a solution to this problem on the Apple TV (v1 - not the new small black one). It seems if you get the error using iTunes you are advised to remove the partially downloaded file from the downloads folder and that usually clears up the problem. However using Apple TV you do not have access to the file system and cannot delete files.
So, I've powered off the Apple TV, powered it back on, tried clicking on Downloads many times and it repeats the same download error (8008) while the movie (The kids are alright) is stuck at 76% downloaded. All other features of the Apple TV appear to be working normally.
Can anyone suggest a way to resolve this probm on the Apple TV?
Many thanks,
Adam

Same problem here. where is Steve Jobs we we need him to kick some ***** in his company? no one from apple can give an answer!!! incredible

  • Apple TV Download Error 8008

    Hi,
    I just rented Transformers HD through Apple TV and it started downloading, but then it stopped and gave "Download Error 8008".
    No matter how many times I click Check for Purchases it won't resume downloading.
    And I know the problem has nothing to do with firewalls or internet connection because I can watch YouTube and browse the store.
    Normally with iTunes you just delete the relative temporary download file and then check for purchases. But this is not possible on Apple TV.
    Does anyone have any solution to this? or is it $4.99 gone.
    Thanks,
    H.A.

    Hashman -- Sorry about your issue. I too have had the same error on downloading an HD movie via the AppleTV. I started the download then went to bed, woke up the next AM to find the download failed. Unfortunately no amount of "Checking for Downloads" in the Settings menu fixed it, in fact it's still there, not fully downloaded.
    If you use your Mac to download and it fails, there is actually a process by which you can delete the partial file and restart the download, I have found this does work but ONLY on your Mac proper, not the AppleTV. I did follow the "Report a Problem" process and have yet to receive a credit, perhaps it's pending I simply don't know. Hopefully this will get fixed soon, otherwise I sympathize and wish you luck! Sorry.

  • TS1424 Star Trek - into the darkness, Download error 8008

    I am unable to download this movie, it stops at 110MB with file is corrupt, try downloading again. Ive tried this 5 times now and ever time it gets to 110MB it stops? the Itunes extras for the film downloaded perfect about 2.3GB size. Ive even deleted the folder where it partly downloaded to and tried again only to find at 110MB it stops with download error 8008
    Any one else having problems?

    Still not working for me and after 1 live chat and 30 min call with support they have told me they will "refund my account in 2-3 working days and try again to download it again in a few weeks"!!! A few weeks!!!!
    They put me through to Tech Support who said it may be a fault with my mac and was transferred 3 times! Told them I'm away to buy the DVD as it will be faster to get than their help!

  • Help Infinity blade Download error 8008

    Okay I've tryed to download Infinity blade 2 for my Itunes and Iphone but I keep getting error 8008 and I have tryed to go to the download folder and delete the temp fiels didnt help the least. I've also tryed to download it on my Iphone 4S and it dosnt want to do that either.
    Please help

    I stumbled upon another solution to the 8008 problem. Currently all my movies and music reside on an external HD. My laptop HD was near capacity less than 500 MB. When I was downloading a movie recently I noticed my laptop HD capacity fluctuating. I continued to receive the 8008 download error. Upon clearing some files on my laptop HD to < 1GB, deleted the tmp download folder for the movie (on my external HD) the download went through no problem. It appears that iTunes may be using a temporary cache on the main HD even if all your files on on an external.

  • Movie Download error on iPad

    Have 1 one stuck on my downloads that keep reading download error every time I retry . I have reset my network setting, deleted some video space , reset all setting except content. I download amtv show and goes though just fine. The movie I want to download is stuck on this download state and can't seem to reset the download list . It downloads fine on other devices lie my iPad 2 or iPhones

    Hi chachirims!
    You have gone through some great troubleshooting steps, but if the download is still stuck after the options you have tried, then we might need to go ahead and restore the iPad. You will want to make sure you have a good back up of your data, and you can find instructions on how to do that here:
    iOS: How to back up and restore your content
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
    You will then want to follow the instructions in the article below in order to restore your operating system on your iPad:

  • Apple TV - Deleting an incomplete direct HD Movie download - error (-50)

    Purchased 2 movies at the same time - HD Movie format direct to my Apple TV. One downloaded and watched OK, the other had a download error (-50) and every time I try re-downloading it ( on both the "resume" and "check for downloads"areas) , same error is evident - Seems to me the only way is to delete this incomplete and download again (hopefully I won't pay again?)
    How do I do this? any other solutions welcome?
    Tks

    Take a look at this Apple article -> iTunes Store: "Error (-50)" when downloading purchased content
    You may have to delete the cached download from the location below.

  • ITunes Download error 8008

    I keep getting this error (8008) when attempting to download a few TV episodes including Titanic Survival (Mythbusters Season 13), Chained Heat (Revolution Season 1), and Captain (Last Resort Season 1).  I have already tried the suggestions from Apple's KB including deleting the Downloads folder and the error persists, I am hoping someone here can advise me further.

    Note: at this juncture the three episodes specifically mentioned in my previous post are the only ones affected, all other material downloads OK.

  • TV shows stod downloading: Error = 8008

    I'm trying to download a TV show into my itunes, and some how it stops in the middle and I get an error = 8008. So what's this error about? What can I do to fix this?

    Good grief, it has already been answered elsewhere.
    Type 8008 in the "Search Discussions" box.

  • Movie "Margin Call" will not download error 8008 or -50. all other movies and music will download without a problem.

    any ideas? i've tried shutting down the AV and Apple firewall with no luck.

    The mystery remains....
    Thanks for the pointers. The file type is .mts (a proprietry sony one).
    I have now found some video converter software (Wondershare and iSkysoft) at a cost. Either will convert this file for me into .mp4. This I can then import into iMovie without any problems. I've checked this on the trial versions and it worked well but without paying am left with a giant watermark in the video
    The mystery (which I still havent solved) is why did 20 other .mts files import fine and then this one not?
    If you could point me in the direction of some free .mts converter software that would be the cherry on the cake.
    Thanks
