Problem downloading itunes movie- network connection reset err= -3253

I am trying to download a film rental, but I repeatedly get error code -3235, saying that the network connection was reset. My network is working fine, and I can browse the internet. So it just seems to be itunes download that isn't working. Any advice?

  • 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.

  • Problem downloading iPod Software / Network connection could not be made

    I am trying to upgrade to version 1.2.1 of the iPod software. I am using version 7.0.2 of iTunes. Whenever I connect my iPod it indicates that there is a newer version of the iPod software. Whenever I try "download and install" or "download only", I get the following error message: "There was a problem downloading the iPod software for the iPod 'My iPod'. The network connection could not be made.".
    I am able to get on the internet in my browser and I am able to get to the iTunes store just fine.
    I checked the solution at: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=304468, but this article isn't the same error message as the one that I am getting. Note: I did try the solution stated in this article and it didn't help.
    Any suggestions would be appreciated!

    1. Purchased category is only for media, I think.
    2. Applications is for Mac OS X applications only.

  • ITunes Store - Network Connection Reset

    Greetings, I have now been unable to connect to the iTunes Store for the last couple of days now but have been able to previously download apps etc. Now I continuously get the error message:
    "iTunes could not connect to the iTunes Store. The network Connection was reset. Make sure your network connection is active and try again."
    This is completely frustrating me as wish to download the new App "Spore" but cant. Can access the internet fine as am writing this help request. Have also completely reinstalled over the top the latest iTunes, which I was already running the latest version, still didnt fix the issue. Also reset my Keychain to no avail. So decided to do a complete remove of iTunes and reinstall it, which did and still no change.
    Have searched and searched for a solution but have yet to find anything that works.
    Please Help
    Thanks

  • 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.

  • Error msg while downloading or visiting iTune store: "network connection was lost". Any idea about the problem?

    I am getting for the last days a constant error msg while downloading or visiting iTune store: "network connection was lost" (sometimes also ways it was "reset" instead). But, the network is working (I can make othe rdownloads and visit to other internet sites). Any idea about the problem?

    Mac server or Windows server? Have you checked her permissions/access vs another user not having the issue?

  • Problem downloading iTune Store tracks on NAS - "Connection Timed Out"

    I am having a problem downloading iTune Store tracks on NAS - "Connection Timed Out"
    I am trying to use the following for my "iTunes Music Location" - \\Nas1\media\Music\iTunes\iTunes Music
    However, when I try to purchase music, I receive the following message:
    "There was an error downloading your purchased music. The network connection timed out. Make sure your network settings are correct and your connection is active, then try again."
    I can purchase songs, the song will begin to download, the appropriate files and folders will be created on the NAS (I can see them), it seems to make two tries to complete the download, then stops, and show me that message.
    My network connection (DSL) is fine, and the network is up.
    Anything I can do? Is it possible to store iTunes on the NAS, or do I have to set it up to store purchases locally?
    Thanks

    I've tried and tried several times to Connect my device to my PC and follow the onscreen instructions in iTunes to download the update from Apple. Problem is iTunes doesn't connect to my iPad so that I can update to iOS 5. I don't see the iPad icon when iTunes loads. I have looked in my computer and see the iPad is recognized. Any one else having this problem? This is also happening with my iPod
    Thank you, Ripley

    I haven't updated yet. Apple's download servers have been too busy. Did you know you can update via wifi instead of connection to your computer?
    Here's a description of the update. Not a lot of changes for iPad 1/2.
    iOS 5.1 Software Update

    You can wait a while & update at your convenience.

    I have 3 downloads from yesterday that I receive this error code. Any ideas?
    Thank you!

    I may have stumbled upon something that could help. A type of "detour" around the problem.
    I just started experiencing this problem a few days ago. Anytime I'd try to download a song/video/movie, I would get the message, "Unable to check for available downloads. The network connection was reset".
    So, instead of selecting "Check for Available Downloads" under "Advanced" menu...
    I logged into "My Account" page in itunes. If there are available downloads it comes up at the top of the page with the option button "Download Now". When I select that -- it downloads immediately.
    Can't promise it will work every time. But it's worked for me so far. Good luck...

  • Getting not enough storage msg when downloading itunes movie to ipad2

    First attempt to download iTunes movie to my iPad2.  Got msg saying not enough storage.  I'm new to the whole Apple world and am not sure what to do to fix this problem.

    Go to Settings>General>Usage and see what's taking up all the space. Delete what you can do without. Remember, you'll need about two times as much space as the size of the file in order to complete the download.
    Best of luck.

  • 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?

  • Hi, Im having a problem downloading itunes 10.5

    Im having a problem downloading itune 10.5 and an error message comes up saying "There is a problem with this windows installer package. A program required for this install to complete could not be run. Contact your support personnel or package vendor." what do I do? I need to download this otherwise I cant connect my ipod touch to itunes.

    Try postings/searching in the iTunes forum since you have an iTunes problem not an iPod problem.  Ther have been recent posts with your problem so you should be able to find an solution.

  • My mac is a version 10.5.8. I just downloaded ios7, and it is telling me I need to download iTunes 11 to connect to my phone, but I don't have a new enough version. What do I do?!

    My mac is a version 10.5.8. I just downloaded ios7, and it is telling me I need to download iTunes 11 to connect to my phone, but I don't have a new enough version. What do I do?! I think snow leopard was the last update I purchased.  Is there a way to convert my phone back? I need to be able to update it, but don't have the money for a new computer.. Help!

    10.5.8 is Leopard, not Snow Leopard. Leopard ran on both PPC and Intel Macs, but Snow Leopard runs only on Intel Macs. iTunes 11 will run on Snow Leopard, though I'm not sure whether iOS7 requires a higher system (Apple seem to specify only itunes 11 and not an OSX system so you may be OK). However if your Mac is a PPC you cannot proceed; if it's an Intel one you can purchase Snow Leopard in the Online Store (search for Snow Leopard to find it quickly) - it's not expensive. It's not possible to roll your phone back to iOS6.
