Movie Download Error - Network Connection Resetting

I've tried to download The Shaggy Dog at least nine times on two different wireless routers; three different computers; via both McAfee and Norton as well as with all virus/firewalls turned off. I've tried it through the wireless router and through an ethernet. I've deleted all *.tmp files and tried again. No luck.
iTunes shows error -3253 which is a "connection reset" message.
What could be wrong? I do not have any privacy software installed. I was able to download other files; although I had intermittent problems with a 30 minute episode of "The Office".
I should get a refund or get this movie for free given the hours I've spent messing around trying to download.
I'm not sure whether to purchase anything else from Apples again - not knowing if I'll be able to download the files.
How do I get some help directly from Apple?
Extremely frustrated.
Please advise. April

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:

Thanks for being a part of the Apple Support Communities!

Network connection resets error when updting apps

On my PC XP Pro SP3, since I have updated iTunes 11, I am unable to update any apps that were previously on PC. I always get an error message that says (there was a problem downloding -The netrwork connection was reset).

This absolutely WORTHLESS answer is getting posted everywhere and it does NOT address "network connection reset" problem which is ubiquitous. It ONLY addresses problems connecting to the iTunes store and not being able to communicate or download anything from the store. . . period.
If I had a problem connecting to the iTunes store I WOULD NOT even be able to start any download of ANYTHING from the store. The problem is getinng a network connection reset error in the middle of downloading app updates. Some update an as soon as the network connection reset error occurs with one of them, the rest FAIL. So kindly STOP posting this as the solution . . IT.IS.NOT . . . and it's incredibly frustrating to see it posted everwhere whenever the poblem is presented in the forum.

Network connection reset error

I am struggling to effect any software updates or downloands. I get a "network connection reset" error. I have failed to update iPhone software, even YouTube videos seem to hang at about the 50% mark. I do not have anti-virus and have inserted new DNS info. It makes no difference if I use Airport or Ethernet cable. Have uninstalled and rteinstalled iTunes. Am at a loss. Help please!

I even uninstalled Trusteer banking security software....
Did you use the developers uninstaller to ensure you fully eradicated it from your system. Trusteer's Rapport has a bad reputation on here for mucking things up. Here's a quick search of just these forums:
https://discussions.apple.com/community/desktop_computers/search.jspa?peopleEnab led=true&userID=&containerType=&container=&spotlight=false&q=Trusteer
Also, just to rule out the fireall possibility, have you tried turning off the firewall and testing?
Edit: You don't have anti-virus installed, but do you have anything such as Little Snitch or Peer Guardian running?

Network connection reset during download of a season. Now one episode won't work.

I bought a season of Entourage and during the download the "network connection was reset." Now one of the episodes won't play right, eg. there is green stuff on the screen during the part that works and it won't even play past about 8 minutes. Is there anything I can do to have this fixed?

I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the item that is not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the item, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.

Error 3259 on downloading with network connection time out

Error 3259 on downloading with network connection time out what will i do?
I have done the procedure of itunes sharing and multicast DNS.
My itunes is fully update with 10.5 and it connect to itunes store but their is downloading error of 3259
I am using usb modem for internet connection.
Please help me.

You have to make sure you have stop your antivirus and firewall program in disabled state duwing the download. I also have same issue earlier and it fixed by disabling the antivirus and firewall program.
Hope it should work for you,

Unable to check for available downloads. the network connection was lost

in my downloads window in iTunes it shows i have "28 iTunes downloads available". when i try to download them, i get the error "Unable to check for available downloads. the network connection was lost."
my connection is fine though, as i can individually download purchases by clicking on the cloud icon.

I followed the advice on Holgr's link, i used screen flow to capture the error message, and then made the video available to apple support. My issue was immediately escalated, and my account started working again shortly after.
I received no additional messages from tech support, i had no idea the problem was resolved until i tried it again.

The router is in your house.
In a nutshell, a modem communicates with the Internet and brings a single communications link to your house, The router takes that single link and divides it up among many links, both wired and wireless, to support many devices in your house. The router and the modem may be separate physical boxes or, more commonly, they're in the same enclosure.
Unfortunately, if there is a firewall in the router, you will need help. I don't think that it's a good idea to try to walk you through it via the forum. You should contact the router supplier and have them walk you through the investigation.

How to correct socket communications error 10054: connection reset by peer

We are running Lookout 5.1 (build 8) reading data through Modbus Ethernet Drivers and we are constantly getting "socket communications error 10054: connection reset by peer" alarms on the server. When I connect to the server file with a client file the client is experiencing communications problems including locking up when editing, trends not showing up, stops updating completely (can only be corrected by restarting server file), and losing symbolic link.
Does anyone know how to stop this alarm from happening and if this could be the cause of my faulty server-client connection or is this strictly a problem between the server and the ethernet radios in the field?
Any response would be appreciated.
Thanks!
Jason

DST1,
All I had to do was increase the receive timeout in each driver's properties until the socket errors disappeared. I have them all set to 30000 msec. Communications have been great on this wireless ethernet system ever since.
Sorry for not answering sooner - needed to make time to go back and look at the file and then TS Lee came our way!

ITunes error message help! - Network connection reset

Hi
I keep getting this message when i try to update apps in iTunes or if i try to load Ping.
We could not complete your iTunes Store request. The network connection was reset
I had it in old iTunes now i have new iTunes 10 and still have same message.
I tried checking if proxy settings were wrong - they are not
did a DND flush
Tried fixing "host" files in System 32/etc folders.
Only started about 2 weeks ago but not sure why.
Seen many people had this - whats the solution to enable me to use app store/ping etc.
PS - also tried the "authorise computer" option with no joy...

i get the same message connection timed out, but instead i cannot download songs i can purchase them but they wont download please someone overcome this one i am being billed for these purchases and i need to know how to download them without error 3259 SOMEONE is there a number or email? because everyone is having this same problem please someone find a solution!!

Itunes network connection reset (error -3253)?

OK...I'm just about over iTunes. I have been purchasing more and more songs on my iPad from the iTunes store and then when I start up iTunes on my home PC, it starts to download the songs, as it is supposed to, locally to my hard drive. However, every single song does not complete downloading before a message comes up that the itunes network connection was reset. The song in Downloads indicates "err = -3253.
Based on various discussions, I have added all of the apple sites to my security software (webroot), uninstalled and reinstalled itunes (pointless since it never really uninstalls), deselected "Allow simultaneous downloads", looked to see if I have conflicting services running (I don't), and pulled out several hairs clicking the OK button everytime the error comes up and clicking Resume All....
Ultimately, I will get songs to download completely, but there really is no excuse for this.
I run Windows 7 Professional and have Verizon FIOS as my service provider.
Anyone else experiencing this (I've had this happening for well over a month now)? Anyone have a solution?
Thanks!

This started happening to me about three days ago and meant iTunes Match was not working and nor was it possible to download updates to apps. The internet was otherwise fine on my computer.
I did a few things which did not work:
1. Sign out of the Apple Store and log back in
2. Turn off iTunes Match and restart it
3. Remove uneeded items from the start up menu
4. Restart cable modem
5. Restart Apple Time Capsule
6. Restart iTunes
7. Restart Computer
8. Update DNS settings from Google's to my ISP
I then did the following which did work:
1. Update DNS setting to Open DNS (as in James Robert's post above) and hit Apply
I only updated the settings in the network system preferences panel against my Ethernet connection. I did not amend anything in the Time Capsule or Modem.
Frankly fed up that so much tinkering is needed at such a detailed level.

Error message "network connection reset" only affects one user

I'm running 10.3.9 on a 400Mhz iMac. I have 3 users, myself and my 2 kids. When I try to access a web page using Safari on one of the kid's user accounts I get an error message saying that the server cannot be contacted because the "network connection has been reset", and says to try again later but never works. The odd part is that the other two user accounts can access web pages with no problem.
I have checked my network settings, all user settings/limitations, restarted the computer and modem, tossed all cache and bookmarks for the affected user and placed the com.safari.plist from the user/library/safari folder on the desktop. Still get the same error message.
I would create a new user name but had a hassle with file permissions when I put the old user files in the new user folder.

I see you have Windows Firewall turned on. Do you happen to have any other firewalls or anti-virus in conjunction with this? Sometimes having both turned on will cause issue. Try disabling all of your anti-virus and firewall software and trying again.
