I'm having the same problem. When I "check for purchased" music, iTunes tries to download songs but fails saying "There was a problem downloading <song>. An unknown error occurred(-50)."
Does anyone know what this is about?
I can dowload and play the 30 sec sample clips so I know the network connections are OK. When I purchase the music I get the download error message. This is very frustrating!

  • Error when downloading purchased music - help? :S

    Hi there!
    I've purchased music (read: I've been charged), but am having issues downloading it from the store into iTunes (on my computer)
    The error reads: There was a problem downloading (x song). Then below in lighter type - "The file seems to be corrupted. To redownload the file, choose "Check for Purchases" from the Store Menu."
    The kicker is - when I follow the instructions in the error, I get the same error...
    Has anyone come across this and does anyone know how to fix it???
    TIA.

    when i download a song i get error 9006 nothing helps ive done everything just like u whatever i do it still says error

  • Disc Error when downloading purchased music videos

    Hi there,
    I'm using the latest iTunes and have purchased 3 music videos. When I try to download them, I gett an error saying:
    "There was an error download your purchased music. The disc could not be read from or written to"
    Strange thing is, the disc is fine (an external Maxtor network drive), I can download normal music files (I've done this successfully since getting this message) so I'm stumped.
    I've sent a mail to iTunes support, but I thought I'd see if anyone else has had this problem and can recommend a fix.
    Cheers,
    Pete

    Hello Peter,
    Check out the suggestions in this Apple Support article below:
    "Disk could not be read from or written to"
    Also, if your videos were only partially downloaded and you'd like to retrieve them, then you can go to "Advanced> check for purchases..." in iTunes, and see if that works.
    I hope this helps!

  • Errors while downloading purchases 'stopped (err = -3253)'.

    I am hoping someone here can offer some help to this problem I am having.
    I have had my Mac for over three years and through out this time I have purchased and downloaded a lot of films and music with absolutly no problem.  For over a month now I have been unable to download getting the error 'stopped (err = -3253)'.
    I have been intouch with the iTunes store team who say there is no issue there end and have suggested a few things to try but nothing works.  They claim there is a problem with my internet connection.  However I fail continiously to download any large film (small file like song can download with the odd error) to my mac yet I can download the same to my Iphone, stream to my apple TV without fault.  I can also stream internet radio to my mac with iTunes.  I can also use all other internet services on any device without issue including my mac.  I only downloaded some software (about 6.5GB) a few days ago.
    Based on this I feel the fault is with iTunes but cannot find the cause.  Steps I have tried include:
    1. Complete shutdown of everything in house.
    2. Use of Ethernet over WiFi.
    3. Creating a new libary.
    4. Signing in and out of iTunes Store.
    5. Added Mac to DMZ on Router
    6. Disabelling Firewall
    7. Changing DNS to various others aswell as my ISP's
    I am a little lost what I can check from here.  I plan to visit a friends to attempt to download on their internet connection to rule mine out completly and will update here how this goes.  In the mean time perhaps some of the good people here may have some suggestions.
    Thank you all in advance and I hope this will help anyone else encountering the same issues.

    Hi, my name is Ralph and I been having this problem for about a month now.   I already contacted apple senior tech about the error code 3253 . They went through all the trouble shooting they had to find out that my computer was ok.  They escalated this to the engineers at iTunes.  I finally got an answer from them after they did the trouble shooting and had to send them a file from my computer while iTunes was downloading and error out .   Listen carefully.    It's not your computer or router or anything.   The problem is at iTunes and there right now investigating this problem.   So relax and hopefully they fix it soon.   I hope this has help you out. :)

  • HT1386 I keep getting a message while downloading purchased music into Ipod that reads " U can download past purchases on this device with just 1 apple ID every 90 days. can b used with another apple ID in 42 days"  what does that mean? cant get music on

    I have purchased an  album and its on my computer in library, plays there and on Ipod as downloaded but cant get it in to music. also havent been able to get my music that I download into hard drive to sync either, afraid to restore [reset] because with have to re-download all of my cd s again. HELP

    It means exactly what it says. For redownloading via iCloud (which is what you are doing).
    Computers and devices can be associated with a different Apple ID once every 90 days. Days remaining indicates the number of days before you can associate that specific computer or device with a different Apple ID.

  • ITunes crashed while downloading purchased music

    I bought some songs from iTunes and it crashed while I was downloading. It seems that the crash happened while I was downloading the first song so I was not able to download any of the songs I bought.
    Is there a way to re-download these songs? Or is there any way I can prevent this from happening again? Other than get a mac of course cuz I can't afford it right now :P

    Got it to start downloading! Thanks!

  • Error (-50) When Trying To Download Purchased Music

    Hello -
    I recently upgraded to iTunes 7.0.1. Since then, I cannot download purchased music. I get the following error message:
    There was a problem downloading X (name of song). An unknown eror occurred (-50).
    I have never had problems downloading purhcased music before. Is there a known bug/issue with 7.0.1?
    Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

    I am having the SAME PROBLEM and it's driving me NUTS! I couldn't find an answer here so I emailed iTunes support. Here is what they said:
    The error you describe may be caused by the presence of web
    acceleration or firewall software. While the iTunes Store is unable to provide
    technical support, I can recommend that you either test your connection to
    the iTunes Store without the presence of this software or configure
    your system to allow access to the iTunes Store's address.
    However, I'm not sure that is my problem because my computer is new, (I have a macbook), I haven't downloaded any kind of software other than software updates from apple, I use safari, and my roommate has no problem d-loading onto her computer. Also, the album I purchased comes with an interactive booklet and that downloads without a problem. So, I don't know. I just emailed them again and I'll respond to this thread if I get a solution. Otherwise, please let me know if you figure it out!

  • Help, i get the 'error downloading purchased music.' what do i do?

    i can download music and podcast fine but when i try to purchase a tv show i get the error message "there was an error downloading purchased music. the disk could not be read from or written to" i went to the purchases command in the advanced menu several times with no luck. i have purchased three seperate shows and get the same message. i'm tired of wasting money and would like some help.
    thanks

    Hmm... I've never seen a issue exactly like this before personally, but usually you get the "Disk Locked" error when installing iTUnes or adding anything, songs or videos to iTunes folder. go here and follow the instructions http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302398
    You may have to uninstall/reinstall iTunes AND quicktime if this does not work. Uninstlling iTunes DOES NOT delete any music, playlist, ratings ect ect

  • Error messages everytime itunes tries to download purchased music

    We got a new computer recently, and on our old computer I believe we had itunes 5, and we had a 30 gb 5th gen that we downloaded purchased music onto. we can only get dial up connection where we live, and we never had an issue downloading, it just took awhile.
    Now that we have our new computer, we also added an 80gb to the newer itunes (7?) we put on the new computer. I have purchased 3 songs, and everytime i try to download them, it says the network connection has timed out, or to check the network connection, etc. Not even a snippet of the song gets downloaded. It pretty much immediately goes to the error message.
    Is itunes 7 set up to only be used with a broadband connection to download? Our internet connection is never the issue. Its pretty irritating to have songs ive purchased and not be able to put them on our ipods.
    Any help would be appreciated, as im not too computer literate, and i cant figure this out.

  • While downloading purchased items, message pops 'There was an error downloading some purchased items stopped err = 3259'

    While downloading purchased items, message pops 'There was an error downloading some purchased items stopped err = 3259'

    You'll have to check your security software settings, iTunes has to be able to connect to Apple servers during the download process.

  • Error -42018 Cannot Download Purchased Music from iTunes Store

    I cannot download music, it says unknown error -42018 check network connection and try again. I can download videos just fine, but music. This has never done this before. I downloaded music before just fine. I turned off my firewall but no luck. Please help resolve!!!

    Hey everybody,
    I also was experiencing the unknown error -42018 when attempting to download purchased music. Additionally, I was stuck in an endless authorization loop when attempting to play previously purchaed music. All this started when I installed the latest iTunes software 7.0.2.
    I run windows XP Pro, and unlike the majority of users I actually set it up correctly with a dedicated administrator account, and regular user accounts instead of just running as admin all the time. For me, that was the cause of the problem.
    The new version of iTunes software required FULL CONTROL privilages on the iTunes and iPod install directories for all user accounts that were using the program. (Previous versions worked fine, so this is a new thing.) Once I provided those permissions, iTunes worked correctly. Follow this link: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/304040 for information on how to provide FULL CONTROL to every user account.
    I hope you all find this helpful in solving your problem.
    Good Luck,
    Bill

  • HT4943 I subscribed for 3 months to a magazine and an error occurred while downloading - purchase validation failed (code:1001)  any ideas?

    I subscribed for 3 months to a magazine and an error occurred while downloading - purchase validation failed (code:1001)  any ideas?

    From an answer on the Web
    1001 (PurchaseValidationError)     
    This means your purchase failed.
    This occurs when attempting to download an Issue where the receipt used by the App and the receipt recorded by Apple are mismatched. Apple's server will report that the user is ineligible for the Issue and the download will fail.
    Contact support for a resolution - from your app press the help button on the bottom right, then feedback - follow the instructions from there.

    I can't download purchased music and videos to my new 30GB video iPod.
    When I try to copy videos or purchased I get an error "iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close" and iTunes quits after I close the dialog.
    I ran the iPod Updater 2006-01-10 and Restored my iPod. I can download mp3s and a video I created in QT Pro but not purchased music or videos.
    I uninstalled all previous iPodSetup installations, iTunes, QuickTime, rebooted and deleted the iTunes prefs file at:
    C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\SC Info\SC Info.sidb
    I reinstalled iPod Updater 2006-01-10 and iTunes 6.0.2 and rebooted.
    The problem remains.

  • Error while downloading updates on ZTE Open

    Hello, sorry guys for asking lot of questions. I have purchased ZTE Open from ebay store(UK) and i wanted to update my phone to FF OS(1.1) but when i click on Check Now button after sometime it says "Error While Downloading Updates"
    Any Solution?

    OTA 1.1 is still delayed to be pushed, hopefully soon. What you are seeing is a bug that ZTE are aware off & should be fixed with next round of updates. Ignore for now. It's not 1.1, or any update for that matter, just a false alarm.
