Have anyone experienced error 8008 after downloading tv shows? I downloaded 2 episodes of "Bones" and was only able to download half of each show...I tried several times by clicking on "check purchases" but I keep getting the same error...can anyone help please!!
This is what you should do to get rid of your Error 8008 problem:
Hey Wootmasta,
1) find your iTunes folder on your computer.
2) In your iTunes folder is a folder named "downloads".
3) In this folder, iTunes stores temporary files of your downloads in progress.
4) Double click this folder and you should see the names of the files/programs that keep coming up error -8008. They will be folders with a .tmp extension.
5) Go ahead and delete those defective files.
6) Then, that's when you to your iTunes account and "Check for Purchases".
7) Re-download your 2 episodes of Bones, this time it will be done properly.
This worked perfectly. I even got to completely download 4 episodes of top gear that have been sitting with error (8008) for a over a month. Thanks Vincent. 😀
Hello again,
having trouble.
It still has the same error.
Ever When i delete them.
Is there something i'm doing
wrong? Or another solution?
Please help. Its Greatly
Appreciated.
8008 seems to be mac server or file issue. iTunes needs to improve their service in this area and have some sort of mechanism to detect errors either in their servers or file corruption.
