Repeated/Looping App Download Failures in iTunes

All:
My iTunes store has repeatedly failed to download a new app (Monkey Island) since late last week along with an app update for Beatkmaker which occurred Sunday evening.
Behavior is as follows:
Purchased app through App Store
Download begins
Download goes through to the end
File apparently does not verify
Download starts again automatically
Continue loops of above.
Steps I've taken follow:
(1) Attempted downloads of the App from three separate internet connections - cable via Cox Communications, mobile wireless via a Sprint wireless modem, and my ATT 3G connection. Nothing. Zip. Nada.
(2) Deleted iTunes from my hard drive and re-installed using the latest disc image from Apple (v8.2.1) - even though this was the version I already had on my computer.
(3) Ran Disk Utility after booting from the OS-X CD and verified/repaired all permissions as well as verifying no problems with the hard drive.
(4) If I allow my phone to attempt this, it runs the battery rapidly down to zero and actually heats the iPhone up to a point where I have to shut it down.
(5) I still cannot get the download "shadow" icon off my iPhone.
(6) I attempted to download seven iPhone App updates with the following results:
PhotoBuddy - 1.2mb - SUCCESSFUL DOWNLOAD
Pocket God - 10.3mb - SUCCESSFUL DOWNLOAD
Star Hogs - 40.5mb - SUCCESSFUL DOWNLOAD
Hear Planet - 1.1mb - SUCCESSFUL DOWNLOAD
MyWeather - 3.7mb - SUCCESSFUL DOWNLOAD
Beatmaker - 163.8mb - FAILED TO DOWNLOAD - BEHAVIOR IDENTICAL TO MONKEY ISLAND. Provided additional error message after three download loops:
stopped (err= -1000000)
(7) This would appear to me to be a problem from Apple's side with large file downloads via iTunes. I don't know what the size limit of a successful download is at this point (obviously somewhere between 40.5mb and 163.8mb).
(8) Note above that I first purchased Beatmaker sometime in 2008 and there have been multiple updates of this App since then.
(9) I've had no problems with app downloads and phone updates until the 3.0 iPhone update AND corresponding iTunes store update happened around 6 weeks ago. I had to take my wife's phone into an Apple store for it to be restored last weekend after unsuccessfully trying to update the phone from 3 different Macs and a PC.
(10) Test downloaded a 285mb file from a non-Apple FTP server and it came through fine.
I look forward to any help out there.....a real puzzler....Apple has not responded to the problem via iTunes store support yet....hence my posting here.

Same here. 1g running 3.1.3. Can't download or stream any podcasts though iTunes.
I share the hope that this is just temporary. This would be worse that merely abandoning the 1G. This would be eliminating existing functionality.

If your iTunes is the latest version, restart your computer and reboot your iPhone. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the iPhone restart. See if that fixes your problem.

Are you getting an error message? Or does it just say "Thanks for downloading" but nothing downloads?

Scratch that, I've fixed it.... just changed the import to a different speed..... not sure why I have had to do it, must be something to do with the new version of Itunes!

Purchased app download failures on Iphone & Ipad

Hi,
Could you do me a favour?I have had problem downloading a purchased apple. It have said "download failed.." despite my having tried many times on both Iphone and Ipad. I have also sign out of my apple ID and signed in again, but it still doesn't help and now I cannot restore the purchase, either.
Hope to hear from you soon and get the problem solved.
Regards,
Sinh

You can try resetting your iPad by simultaneously pressing and holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple Logo. This can take up to 15 seconds so be patient and don't release the buttons until the logo appears.
Try to download again to see if the problem persists.

Problems Installing App Downloaded from iTunes Store; Error Code 0xE800000C.

I am unable to install a new app downloaded from the iTunes Store. I can connect with and download from iTunes with no problems. But when I go to install the new app, the installation first appears to proceed okay, but after several minutes a message shows up saying that the app was not installed, and giving this error code: 0xE800000C. During the installation, the progress bar pauses for quite a while at about one-fourth of the way across, then suddenly goes all the way across, and after that is when the message shows up. I also tried installing another app, an earlier version of the first one, with the same result. I have tried rebooting the phone and disabling my computer antivirus. I have been able to install apps to this phone in the past using this same computer. My iPhone has the latest software and I have the latest version of iTunes.
Any ideas how I can resolve this problem?
Thanks.
Geoff

I actually found the answer to my problem. After posting this question I still proceeded to trying to find the answer through internet searches and noticed that my specific Fault Module Name was Quickset.qts. I uninstalled and then reinstalled it and now I can play the videos just fine.
Thank you for taking the time to read. hope this helps someone in the future.

Apps downloaded in iTunes Store do not appear under iTunes Apps tab

Apps downloaded in the iTunes Store (either as updates to existing apps or as new) do not appear under the 'Apps' tab in iTunes.
iTunes requests my Apple ID and password and the files will download afterward. However, they do not appear in the 'Apps' tab. This is confirmed by right-clicking >> Get Info. No update to the version and new apps do not appear.
Of note, I am running Lion an iMac 3.06 Core 2 Duo w/ iTunes 10.7.
My iTunes Library is located on a Mac Mini Server running Lion Server. I've checked permissions and every folder and library file is set to 'Read & Write' so it doesn't appear to be a permissions issue.
Any ideas?

Also, I've tried individually downloading an app flagged for update in iTunes without any luck.

Can't download anything from itunes/app store after 5.0.1

I've read a few discussions on this topic but have yet to find any solution that works, so I'm reposting hoping someone has an idea.
We have an ipad 16gig, and recently updated to iOS 5.0.1. (via WiFi, this isn't a 3G model). Immediately after setting up after the update, the iPad can no longer update apps, download new apps, download iBooks, download songs, podcasts ... basically anything from the iTunes or App store. All are met with the message:
"Unable to Download (name here) - (name here) could not be downloaded at this time." with a Done or Retry button.
The same thing occurs for all apps, music, podcasts, etc... same message each time.
During the setup after the update was installed, we agreed to the new iTunes/App Store agreement, so I don't think it's that case where iTunes can't do anything because the Agree option got lost somewhere. I also don't have any downloads pending that need to be paused.
Solutions I have tried so far:
1. Restarting and resetting the iPad, both via the power button, and holding down the power button / home button.
2. Signing out of iTunes/App store, re-signing in, with two different Apple IDs.
3. A full restore of the iPad from my computer via iTunes.
4. Attempting to buy something free from iTunes or the App Store (somewhere this was suggested as a solution). Some descriptions of this solution implied it was to force itunes to ask you to agree to the new TOS, this hasn't happened, and we agreed to the new TOS when 5.0.1 started up.
5. Resetting my router. Didn't think this was the issue but did it anyway.
Googling the issue, apart from the above solutions, I've encountered something about "permissions" on a folder to which apps are downloaded being set wrong by the update, but I have no clue how to address that, it seemed to have something to do with "jailbreak" ipads of which this is not.
I'm about ready to take it to the Apple store but I was hoping I could find something online first, and spare confusing some poor Apple employee.

I found a solution, and it's horrible.
1. Back up your data. I used iCloud, but I also made a restore file through itunes, though you CAN'T USE THAT RESTORE TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. It will just install the problem anew! Delightful!.
And then, basically do this: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137 which translates to:
2. Settings > General > Reset > Erase all data
3. Set up your iPad as a new ipad - if you choose to restore from an old restore file, you'll just reinstall the original problem.
4. Connect to iCloud to reclaim your iCloud stuffs.
5. Spend the next hour annoyed and frustrated as you restore your music, photos, apps, etc... to what you think you had them.
But miraculously, this let our ipad download apps again.
Again, restoring from a backup will not fix the problem.
All this speaks to some issue that requires the drive on the ipad to be reformatted with new permissions, or something, which is pretty **** annoying. Waiting to see the problem re-appear after it's finished syncing my music. Hurray!

How do I use apps downloaded in itunes on windows7?

How do I use apps downloaded in itunes on windows 7 and can I put them on iPod touch gen2 and gen4? thanks to any help I can get with this would be fun to play some of the games apps

You can't use the apps on your computer, they can only be used on iOS devices : iPhones, iPads, and iPod Touches. Depending on which version of iOS you have on your iPod Touches (Settings > General > About > Version) then you should be able to sync most of the apps to them, especially the newer model - an app's requirements, including the minimum iOS version, are listed on the left-hand side of its description page in the store.
To sync the apps, connect and select the iPod on the left-hand side of your computer's iTunes, and then on the right-hand side on the Apps select which apps you want to sync, and then sync/apply that selection

I connected my iphone to my computer, and somehow my apps downloaded to itunes, and erased from my iphone, i re-uploaded them to my iphone and now all the game data is missing, including extra levels that i have paid for.

After i connected my iphone to my computer to upload some pictures, the couple of apps that i had synched to my itunes, later i noticed that this deleted them from my iphone, therefore i re-connected my phone, dragged that apps back onto my phone and all seamed okay. Till i went to play an app (dinner dash) and notice that now only was all my data (scores and level beaten) erased, but i had also purchased extra levels and these are no longer available, they are asking my to pay for the levels again. I know they weren't expensive, but i already paid for these and obviously still want them without having to pay again? Any help would be great, i can't even seam to find a email address that i could write to on the apple site for help!! I either want to get these levels again, or my money back to download them again.

Hello johnohuk,
Thanks for the question. It sounds like most of your music was purchased from the iTunes Store. If your country supports iTunes in the Cloud, you can download your past purchases using this article:

Why do app downloads time out? iTunes 10.6.3.25

I have VZW FiOS, running iTunes 10.6.3.25 on Windows 7 and everytime I download app updates to iTunes they time out - it does not matter if there is 1 app, 3, 30, or more - I find I'm constantly clicking on dialog boxes and the "resume all" button in the downloads window. This is the only progra. Using the same connection on my iPhone they do not time out. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Okay I waited 2 weeks and in that time I had one multiple app download session where I disabled my firewall and still had the issue so I reenabled my firewall. I'm in the process of downloading a total of 48 app updates and thus far it has not kicked out the error. This is telling me that the issue was on Apple's end and it appears to be fixed. I'll give it one more multi-app download session. Thanks for the help and the suggestions.
