Why does my iTunes download keep restarting

Hi, I'm trying to download a movie to my iPad from iCloud that I have already purchased - it downloads the full file (I assume, looking at the file size), but right at the end the download just starts again!! So I don't have a file to watch and the download is just endlessly downloading. Is this a known issue? I've never had it before, I guess I usually just stream though. Any ideas?
I'm on latest iOS and it's an iPad 3.
Thanks!
Matt

When you say store owner, was it an apple store or a third party store?

  • Why does my iTunes store keep freezing when switching iTunes stores?

    I have an account in both the Canada store and the U.S. store (I buy U.S. iTunes cards for use as some shows do not come to Canada until nearly a year after its U.S. store release). However, and don't ask why I haven't posted about this earlier I noticed for the past month or two when I switch from one to the other, my iTunes freezes completely forcing me to Force Quit it and restart. It will then be in the store I was switching into (from Canada to U.S. or vice versa) but it still had to freeze and be re-opened before I could access it. Is there any reason this might be happening? I feel like it might've happened after the most recent update because it did not used to do this. I have the latest iTunes update 11.1.3 (8).
    Thanks for anyone's help.

    Hello EustaceRM,
    Force closing all open apps and resetting your iPhone may help prevent the various app issues you've been experiencing.

    If your apps continue closing unexpectedly, the next step would be to restore the device.

    Additionally, the troubleshooting steps detailed below can help stabilize your iPhone, should it continue restarting or powering off unexpectedly.
    Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
    Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIsand corrosion.
    Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
    After at least 30 minutes, if:
    The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
    The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
    Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
    If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
    If the display turns on, go to step 4.
    If the display remains black, go to next step.
    Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
    If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
    My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?
    Contact Apple Support.

  • ITunes downloads keep restarting

    I am trying to download an album from the iTunes store directly from my iPhone 4S.  Half of the tracks downloaded successfully, while the other half are giving me problems.  Each remaining track downloads about 50% and then restarts back from 0%.  It keeps happening over and over.  Anyone have a fix for this?

    Day 2.  Up to 5 wifi networks.  iTunes downloads reset, and keep starting over on my ipad:  NOT on my iPhone.  I have 7.02 on both.  I bought the ipad because I do a lot of traveling.  Looks like I'll watch movies on my iPhone, and use the ipad for a drink tray until this gets fixed.

  • Why does my movie download keep freezing?

    I downloaded a movie on itunes and it keeps freezing! Why is this happening?

    The reason it's freezing all the time is you are out of application memory.
    I recommend installing BlackBerry Desktop Software and making a full backup of the device. Then do a Security Wipe. You can do the wipe by going to Options and type security wipe in the search bar. Don't include the media card but include 3rd party apps. You can install those again later via BBWorld.
    When it's done, you can restore only the databases you really need like email, calendar, contacts, etc.
    When you're all done make sure that media is saved to the media card. I recommend getting a much bigger card so you have room for pictures and videos. You don't want that data saved on the device memory.

  • Why does my 2010 MBP keep restarting itself after upgrading to Yosemite?

    This problem actually started once I upgraded to Mavericks - my MacBook Pro will randomly restart itself every 30 seconds - 15 minutes or so. I don't really have a good estimate of the occurrence though since it is so random and there seems to be no rhyme or reason. The only thing I can say is that it pretty much always restarts if I am resizing windows. When I upgraded to Yosemite from Mavericks, it kept restarting itself but now it restarts twice every time! It's added an additional restart in the middle of the boot up screen. I reformatted the drive, reinstalled the original software and then reinstalled all the software upgrades and the problem persists. I know I should probably take it in to see a Genius as my best guess is that there seems to be an error with the graphics card, but I'm a college student on a very tight budget, so if there's anything I can do myself to fix this that would be great! Any help is appreciated! Here is the text from the last kernel panic:

    Just thought I would reply here in case anyone finds this post and has the same problem.
    I downloaded this app: https://gfx.io/  and set my graphics card to "integrated only" and it has solved the problem. Just remember to always set it to "integrated only" if it's not already set to that after anytime you restart your computer.

  • Why does my ipad mini keep restarting itself?

    I bought an ipad mini in Feb, 2013 and until 2 weeks ago it has been working like a charm. Now my ipad mini  restarts on its own without my consent. I have witnessed it restart when i have been reading books from ibooks, when opening programs, when listening to music and a few times when it hasn't been in use just sitting on the bench in screen saver mode. Yesterday i plugged the mini into my laptop and determined that i am currently using the most up to date software and that ensured i had saved a back up on the icoud and my computer. Finally i went trhough itunes to restore my ipad to is factory settings. This was completed this morning without a glitch only to find some 10 hours later my ipad is continueing to restart without any warning. Help!!

    Hi there,
    I would recommend taking a look at the troubleshooting steps found in the article below.

  • Why does my iPhone 4 keep restarting

    My iPhone 4 keeps turning on and off, I bought it two days ago second hand and the back of the phone was cracked, this I have had replaced and the store owner updated the phone but it still keeps doing the same thing, Any ideas ???

    When you say store owner, was it an apple store or a third party store?

  • Why does my itunes downloaded song cut off half way through the song

    I downloaded a Jorney song "Seperate Ways" only to find out that the song cuts off half way through. What should i do?

    I'm having this exact problem now with an iPhone 4 (not the 4S) and running software 6.1.3 with iTunes version 11.0.4.4. - The songs play fine in iTunes. In some instances I brought in the songs from CDs, in other instances I purchased from the iTunes store meaning I can't simply convert them. In either way they play silence on my iPhone around halfway through and for the remainder of the track.
    I have attempted a full restore from a backup, and then reloaded all of my music, same songs, same problem. I don't feel a manual restore would help because that means reprogramming every single app, and the music would be reloaded the same way so what difference could that make?
    Just to add insult to injury my protection plan ran out about 2 weeks ago and my phone otherwise works fine, so this can't possibly be worth purchasing another pricey plan just to be allowed to TALK to Apple.

  • Why does my mac pro keep restarting itself

    It restarts by itself at least 4 times before I can use it without issues.

    I tried to get your post moved to the MacBook Pro forum where others with your model and experience.
    Pulling answers out of a rabbit's hat is magic. Diagnosing anything is trial and error and starting from scratch.
    If it is for business, you should have multiple booable backup copies of your system so you can work from another hard drive.
    I keep a spare computer handy if one of them runs into trouble.

  • Why does my iphone 5 keep restarting

    i have a iphone 5 less than a month old, I downloaded the 6.01 upgrade about 10-14 days ago, now my phone repeatedly shuts down on its own, and when plugged in acts like it isnt charging. when I remove the charger, it says i am at whatever % battery was left when I started charging it, Ihave to physically reboot it, then the charge status is updated.
    I can deal with the charging issue, but this whole shutting down every 3-5 minutes is driving me CRAZY. took phone back to verizon, and their answer was its the new software upgrade and I have to wait for a new upgrade.  What?? Seriously?  this thing is about to go thru the window and replaced by a droid.
    PLEASE HELP!!!!

    Do a backup and restore, be sure to transfer purchases: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766 (follow iTunes directions)
    If that doesn't work, backup and restore as new.
