App Store error 8012 - 06/27/10 09:18 PM
Half a year ago I tried to download an app titled Pi Calc from the App Store. The attempt was met by the error message
There was a problem downloading the artwork for “Pi-Calcâ€. Please try again by choosing “Check for Available Downloads†from the Store menu. Unfortunately, this has been of little help, as I cannot find that particular Store menu item. I wonder if someone can point me in the right direction, assuming there is one.
Meanwhile, iTunes' Downloads screen lists the app with error 8012. This entry cannot be deleted permanently: initially it is removed from the screen, but it reappears with the next download activity for anything else. Somehow I duplicated the item on the Downloads screen, and forever since I've been stuck with this pair. It's no longer listed in the app store; a search brings up nothing with that title, and following the link provided above yields the error message 'Your request could not be completed. The item you've requested is not currently available in the US store'.
Today a third dead item was added to my Downloads list, when I got the same errors ('artwork' and '8012') with an update for another app (Astronomy Afficionado). AA is currently a paid app and is listed on the App Store; I acquired a free copy during a promotion, but based on similar 'purchases' of temporarily free apps I doubt this is related to the error messages.
Anybody have an idea how best to get rid of these 'error 8012' entries stuck on iTunes' Downloads screen?
