Unusual 8003 error - iTunes - Purchases or Apps

Experiencing this error on a Win7 based machine, MacBook Pro and iPad 2 under the same profile.  I am able to access and browse the store Ok, I am able to make purchases, songs, books, apps etc however, they simply will not download and the 8003 error is experienced.  I followed Apple Q's steps -  HT2292, TS1368 but no joy.  All devices access the net via my home network device, a Linksys X3000 modem/router with latest firmware update.
One option I tried that did work was to tether my cell/mobile phone to my iPad and was able to download all updates to Apps and book purchases to my iPad.  The cell phone accesses the interent via my providers 3G network and not via my home network and ISP.  However, when I sync the iPad to either the Win 7 or Mac Book the new downloads and updates will not sync with iTunes on either device.  My purchases still show up as available downloadable content in iTunes for either device. 
I checked to see whether the problem is experenced for other forms of content on iTunes.  I purchased a song via iTunes and experienced the same 8003 error, so the problem is not isolated to books alone.  All current relevant updates for OS's to Win7, MacBook and iPad have been applied.  This is not a firewall problem as I can access the store fine.  The last time I accessed the store prior to this was about 1 month ago and everything worked fine. 

Very interesting! I'm having the exact same problem but am using a Linksys X2000.   Everything was working great until I upgraded the firmware yesterday.  Since then, I'm unable to download anything from iTunes (-8003 error) on the AppleTV or my PC, but I can still browse the Apple store and watch previews.
I've restored the router to factory settings a few times just to be sure something wasn't disabled. 
Interestingly, I'm also unable to connect to GW2 at all, and another website I regulaly log into won't redirect.  It seems something is blocking certain ports or traffic.  I thought maybe some sort of SSH error, but some sites I can log into just fine (like Gmail for instance).
Going to try it with another modem / router to see if I have any luck.

  • I am trying to sync my iphone 4. Get error :"itunes cannot sync apps to the iphone because the apps installed on the iphone cannot be determined"

    I wanted to sync my iphone 4 (cdma).  I have synced it before successfully.  I am getting an error "itunes cannot sync apps to the iphone because the apps installed on the iphone cannot be determined" and the apps and items follwoing apps in syncing (photos for example) will not sync. Items prior to apps synced (calendar/contacts).  I restarted both my iphone (currently on ios 4.2.8) and my computer, itunes was on 10.6.1, same problem.  I installed itunes 10.6.3, same problem.  I had been waiting to update ios to 5.1.1 and would like to do that now, but wanted to sync first.  Anyone have any ideas?  I am stumped!  Thank you.

  • How can I ensure itunes purchases (music, apps) are paid using credits which show on the account instead of billed to my credit card?  Info indicates credit is used first but I just bought a song and it did not seem to be deducted from my credits.

  • An error on purchasing an app in Applestore

    I have recently bought an iPad for my daughter so quite new to using apple products. I have tried to purchase an app through the Apple store but it does seem to have worked successfully. The app appears in my purchases but nowhere on my home pages. It will not allow me to ope the app from my purchases page or gives me an option to uninstall the app?

    it is a dynamic query that runs and take backup of all the dbs except the one we don't want, and the version is sql server 2012 sp1 on server. Part of the backup query
    SET
    @fileName = @path

  • Internal Server Error when purchasing an app in Blackberry App World

    I have a Torch 9810. I have been trying to purchase the Baamboo Premium player. If I do it in the app world on my desktop, I get:
    Internal Server Error
    An internal server error has been detected. Please try your operation again. (EC )
    If I try from the app world on my phone, it keeps saying "Please wait" upon selecting purchase until I reboot - waited over 2 hours one day.
    So, it won't let me complete the purchase via my phone or desktop. How can we fix this?

    I think we have made some headway. Apparently, purchases billed to AT&T (my provider) go through Bango, which I did not accept the terms on my phone previously. When trying the purchase, it never prompted until the uninstall/reinstall of app world. Now that I told it I agreed with the terms, I found that it won't go through because I blocked a similar purchase type through my provider (for Facebook credits - apparently through Bango as well).
    So, once I tell it to bill through PayPal, it should work.
    My concern is that even when connecting my phone to my desktop and trying to purchase online, I would just get a cryptic "internal server error".
    Thanks for your help! This should solve it now - have to wait until payday.

    I am not sure what you mean by "Flash Player for steam"; the only Flash Player installers I know is the ActiveX (for Internet Explorer) and the plugin (for other browsers); you can find both at http://helpx.adobe.com/content/help/en/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player- windows.html#main-pars_header

  • Has anyone gotten the following error message when trying to do in-app purchases? Error purchasing from App Store, then underneith that ,Cannot connect to itunes Store (0)

    I'm getting an error message when trying to make in-app purchases.
    Error purchasing from App Store
    Cannot connect to itunes Store (0)
    I can purchase songs in itunes, but not the in-app purchase for Kingdoms at War. I've checked the parental controls and all the other obvious things in settings. Let me know if anyone knows how to correct this. Thanks.

    Here is an update and more information:  I actually have two MBP's.  One is a mid-2009 model and one is a new, mid-2012.  I transferred files from the mid-2009 to the mid-2012, but I use both computers frequently.  This problem only occurs on the mid-2009 and not on the mid-2012.  I have authorized both computers. 

  • Error message "Please contact iTune support to complete this transaction" when I was trying to purchase an app

    Error message "Please contact iTune support to complete this transaction" when I was trying to purchase an app????
    Help!! Any one experience this issue???
    iTune support, "You are violating the iTunes Store Terms and Conditions specifically, however we're unable to speculate. You are not authorized to purchase from the US iTunes Store. From here please continue to review the terms and conditions in detail for further information."
    Do you guys even read the "Terms and Conditions" ? There are thousands of words. who know what term I am violating. It works fine before 12/01/2012...I bet they don't even know what caused this problem...They keep asking me to read it without solving the problem...

    "Dose that just happen after December 2012??"
    No.  It has always been that way.
    "So people who live in USA and while travel to other country are not allowed to buy anything? "
    Correct.
    "how about people who work oversea for long term?" 
    They would need an itunes account based in the country in which they live.

  • TS1702 i purchased an app from apple store, an error occurred whilst downloading. I tried to reinstall it on my comp. but it reverts me back to PURCHASES & commands me to tap on INSTALL, but nothing happens. How can I solve the problem please???

    I PURCHASED AN APPLICATION FROM APPLE STORE. AN ERROR OCCURRED WHILST DOWNLOADING IT. IT WANTS ME TO REVERT BACK TO PURCHASES IN ITUNES, AS SOON AS I TAP ON "INSTALL" IT SHOWS THE SAME MESSAGE AGAIN. HOW DO I SOLVE IT PLEASE? IT SHOWS ON MY STATEMENT THAT I PURCHASED THE APPLICATION?

    Try redownloading the app directly to the iPod by:
    ]Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    It may be that iTunes is not signed into the account that purchased the app or that the computer is not authorized for that account.

  • ITunes 8003 error with Windows XP too

    On Windows XP Pro I just downloaded 11 of 12 tracks. For the twelfth a 8003 error occured, with the message that the download was stopped because the network was interrupted. But the network is fine! I tried signing out/signing on and checking for purchases, but unfortunately the same result occurs.
    Same than Kaderic on Mac...
    What can I do ?

    Thanks Timmy Y, but the problem has been solved.
    Tonight downloading succeeded on the first try.
    I think this is the site iTunes which was in trouble.
    I suppose they have corrected the problem on this file since yesterday.
    All is OK now !
