So, as of this past Tuesday, my iTunes doesn't seem to want to download any of my purchases anymore. At first, it was just one song that I had bought that day, so I thought maybe it was just that song and didn't really worry about it. But now that it is the weekend and some of my subscriptions, like Season Pass and a podcast, are starting to download their new entries, I'm starting to see that iTunes doesn't want to download anything. I even bought a random song just to check and, yep, nothing. I just keep getting Error -3259. Now, I've tried restarting iTunes, not allowing for simultaneous downloads, and even reinstalled iTunes to see if any of that would help. It didn't.
What's strange is that even though iTunes won't download video/music/podcasts, it will download/update my iPhone apps just fine, no problem (which is how I know there isn't a problem with my internet or iTunes' connection to it). Any suggestions on how to remedy this issue?

Log onto the computer as a different user and see if you can download with iTunes.
OK, I just tried that. It looked promising, but, alas, no. It didn't work either.
This is so strange, because I've gone through every single one of the steps that everybody has suggested (not only in this thread, but through Apple too), and still it doesn't work. I don't get it.
Have your tried connecting to the iTunes Store with another internet connection at a different location?
Or use wifi/ethernet, whichever you don't normally use?
