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.
