What is itunes download error -3253

Ever since I updated iTunes, I can't make download updates on my apps. I keep getting error -3253. Any ideas?

Apparantly don't know enough about DNS entries to be messing with them. I have a "fixed" IP address, but I don't know if that relates to DNS entries. I appologize for appearing to be the dumbest one on this forum, but is there anything that could be impacted by changing the DNS? I work from home and cannot risk my system setup for iTunes. For the past 3ish weeks I get 5352 errors continuously and have to babysit anything I download. I'm on a Mac, latest v of iTunes, nothing has changed on my end. iTunes has worked fine for me for years until now. I've tried other fixes (unchecking simultaneous downloads, resetting the router). Frankly, if Apple expects me to go through this to download from iTunes -- I want out -- it's over my head. I wish for fewer updates and better stability.

  • ITunes download error "Service "Apple Mobile Device Service"

    How do I get past the iTunes download error message: "Service "Apple Mobile Device Service" failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privilege to start system services." ?
    I have tried ignoring, trying again, and canceling and reloading.  I most recently downloaded the exe file, then from the download file right clicked to  "run as Administrator" use an HP Pavillion g7 Notebook PC with 64-bit operating system and Windows 7. How can I get past this message?

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The section Install missing components may allow you to install Apple Mobile Device Support without removing other components.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

  • I have 3 songs that will not download and the volume of error messages from Itunes about these "3" is annoying. I know my way around Itunes but cannot find a way to delete them and stop these Itunes download error messages.

    I have 3 songs that will not download and the volume of error messages from Itunes about these "3" is annoying. I know my way around Itunes but cannot find a way to delete them and stop these Itunes download error messages.
    Thank you.

    Thanks Mohammad - much appreciated.
    I also got a response from Apple who said that there was a problem related to fonts and the encryption.xml file
    Once we'd removed this we were able to upload the epub no problem.
    It's odd that the system seems to say that all is okay when it isn't. We have to rely on guesswork rather a lot using iBook Producer.
    Anyway, all sorted now and thank you again for your contribution.
    Best wishes and a Happy New Year!

  • Itunes download error message

    I recently tried to download Itunes for my computer its a windows 8 64-bit. I downloaded Itunes twice and it won't open at all, anytime I try to open it, there is a message that says "Apple Application Support was not found. Apple Application Support is required to run itunes. Please uninstall itunes, then install again. Error 2 (Windows error 2)
    Does anyone know of anyway I can download itunes and this not happen? I have tried everything and nothing has worked.

    With the Error 2, let's try a standalone Apple Application Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of the issue.
    Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR suitable for your PC (there's a 32-bit Windows version and a 64-bit Windows version):
    http://www.rarlab.com/download.htm
    Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
    Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleApplicationSupport.msi to do a standalone AAS install.
    Does it install properly for you? If so, see if iTunes will launch without the error now.
    If instead you get an error message during the install, let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

  • ITunes download error, tap to retry

    I purchased some songs from iTunes, and all except 3 downloaded just fine. 3 songs keep coming up "Download error, tap to retry". I have tried numerous times to retry the download, but keep getting the error message. I cannot select and delete the downloads, either. Subsequent downloads are working fine. How can I get rid of these 3 downloads?

    I can't confirm the 12 days part, but what I did find out is that the 3 songs I got did not appear as purchased items on my Apple ID I used for purchased, almost as if that connection was lost whenever I got the files (even if free from an iTunes promotion). The media files were on my OS X iTunes and I could transfer them to the phone, but I strongly believe because they are not attached to my Apple ID, and the download was interrupted somehow on the phone, that they appear as "not able to download".
    I would guess if Apple added these 3 songs to my purchased list it would go away - but I do not know if they could even do that without probably knowing some ID that would like it to the exact song to add.
    I tried a "reset all network settings" as the last resort before hanging up with an Apple tech (who was also not sure on how to solve). This did not work. Since this is not hampering my use of the phone, I will solve it some other day, perhaps when I next visit an Apple store and show them, maybe they would be interested in this scenario.
    For now, I think I would have to factory reset the whole phone to get rid of them.

  • Audiobook purchase on iTunes - "Download error. Tap to retry."

    I bought an audiobook through iTunes last night and am having some trouble with the download. First, it was stuck on "processing" and I read in another thread that I needed to connect to wi-fi, which I have now done. Now, after I enter my iTunes password, the message beneath each book segment is "Download error. Tap to retry." When I tap to retry, it flashes "processing" briefly, then goes back to the download error.
    Can someone give me an idea of what to do next? I don't want to lose the $20 audiobook I purchased.
    Thanks!

    Oh, never mind. I guess all I had to do to fix it was to post the problem on this forum. Once I posted, I tried for about the tenth time and it worked.
    Thanks, anyway.

  • ITunes download error on the iPad

    I bought some videos on iTunes (episodes of 2 TV seasons). Most everything downloaded with no problems but there are 7 that didn't complete and show up on the iTunes download page as "Download error. Tap to retry."
    If I follow the directions and tap, the message briefly changes "waiting" then back to "download error. Tap to retry" and a moment later, a dialog box shows up that says "Unable to download episode. <episode title inserted> could not be downloaded at this time."
    On the videos app, those episodes showed up but wouldn't play.  I was able to delete the seasons by clicking on the Edit button on the TV Shows page, but still the iTunes Downloads icon shows a "7" badge.
    I tried downloading those episodes again but that didn't work.
    Any advice?

    I found the answer to my question in another part of this discussion forum.  I'm adding it here in case someone else sees my original post and wants to see the solution.
    To get rid of the download error, go to the download page and find the small down-pointing arrow icon next to the "download error. Tap to retry." text.  Put your finger on the down-pointing arrow icon and flick (quick short swipe) to the left.  The down-pointing arrow icon will be replaced with a "delete" button.  Tap the delete button.  Then confirm the delete in the modal popup window.
    That's it.  An easy solution, even though it took me many hours to find the answer.

  • ITunes download error

    I keep getting a message "Download error. Please try again" when I try to download a song from iTunes to my iPad . Do I have to download them on my computer and then synch up? Shouldn't I be able to download songs directly to my iPad ?
    Thanks for any help !
    Don

    Yes, you should be able to purchase and download songs (and videos and movies) directly from your iPad. Are you able to successfully download using iTunes on your computer? Knowing that would provide an indication as to whether the problem lies with your iPad or is something more general, either with your connection to the Internet or with your iTunes Store account.
    Regards.

  • IPod Touch and iTunes Download error

    I tried renting a movie and buying four TV episodes two days ago. The movie started to download when i purchased the other four items. The movie then stopped downloading, and one of the shows began to download. Then that stopped downloading. Now none of them are downloading, and it says "Download error. tap to try again" So i tap, and then it starts to load, then the one below it starts to load, and so on, but then they all stop and say the same thing again. Im not sure how to solve this, maybe delete the items out of my downloads? Im not sure how to do that though.

    heres what i did:
    step 1: hook up to computer
    step 2: sync (unnecessary)
    step 3: under "store" go to "check for available downloads"
    after that u should be good!

  • Itunes download error tap to retry - iphone 5s

    When downloading a song from itunes on my iphone I got the download error tap to retry. I tried restarting the iphone, signing out of itunes and restarting but still got the same error, but I can download new songs fine. So I connected the iphone to itunes on my PC, which downloaded the song and sync'd it to my iphone fine. However, now I have the song on my iphone, but it is also still stuck in downloads on the iphone even after syncing it with my pc?

    Did you ever get to the bottom of this? I have more or less same issue
