ITunes 6.0.1.3 downloads a video 100%, then fails with "An Unknown Error"

I've downloaded several videos from ITMS but the most recent one I've purchased will complete the download process and then fail. I've tried "check for purchases" several times and always get the same result - download the ~200 MB file, then fail when the progress bar is full.
I've tried disabling Grisoft AntiVirus, defragmenting the hard drive, chkdsk for errors (no errors), but I keep getting the same thing every time - about 8 tries):
[Red X graphic]
There was an error downloading your purchased music.
An unknown error occurred (0xFFFE7958).
Use the Check for Purchased Music command in the Advanced menu to try again later.
[OK]
I don't use iTunes for music - just for video downloads.
Any ideas?

Same problem here!!!
Three times I tried to download the D.Housewives and three times it failed. I did the check the purchased and was able to start again but everytime it got to either 99% or 100% it failed with a error but on the third time it failed I guess it triggered something and it no longer shows as Purchased Music. I contacted Apple and they told me I am out of luck!
Good thing my Ipod is less then 30 days old as it is going back to the store.
Here is their response after taking my $1.99 but no delivering the product!!!

  • HT4623 I trying to update my iPad using iTunes. After connecting to MacBook Pro where is installed all latest software iPad is recognised as iPad, Serial Number: n/a. iTunes run recovery mode, trying to restore iPad firmware, and in the end unknown error

    There was some updayts for my iPad 4 automatically downloaded. After installing it, the iPad began to restart itself every few minutes.
    I tryed to update my iPad using iTunes. After connecting to MacBook Pro, where is installed all latest software, iPad is recognised as "iPad", Serial Number: n/a. iTunes run recovery mode, trying to restore iPad firmware, and in the end unknown error occured (3). Tried many times, not results. And now iPad stays only in recovery mode, can't switch it off.  How can I solve this problem please?

    When I restart my iPad the connect to iTunes comes up and stays on until it shuts down again, I have read a report from Apple support suggesting I reinstall iTunes so I might try that again and also your suggestion which i shall also try, but thanks again - rg1547

  • TS1539 How do we deal with Error 50 when downloading a movie rental then stopped with error 50 and when I try to resume the downld, it doesn't do it?

    How do we deal with Error 50 when downloading a movie rental then stopped with error 50 and when I try to resume the downld, it doesn't do it?

    Yeah this "fix" is bunk. The movie is downloading just fine, but the extra features is the one giving me this error code. It is NOT my firewall. If it was, then both files wouldn't download. Plus, I already have the firewall "issue" tacked down and fixed. Have had it fixed for months now. No, this is due to the "new" itunes version 11 software. The only conclusion to fix this issue is UPgrading from 11 back to 10.7 which is what I am going to do. This is completely ridiculous! Come on, Apple, get itunes working once and for all, and fire the people responsible for itunes 11, just like you did to the guy who was responsible for apple maps. Thankfully Google came back to the rescue with google maps app.

    Make sure you have the latest version of iTunes. You can download it from here -> http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    If that doesn't work, check out this Apple article -> iOS: Unknown error containing '0xE' when connecting to a Windows PC

    Try it again.....my download took about 15 minutes. The entire install was probably about an hour.
    Some have suggested to update using iTunes as a better alternative to over the air.

  • ITunes won't connect to iTunes Store with my Apple ID and repeatedly crashes with "An unknown error occurred (-50)."

    I've been unable to use iTunes for over 3 weeks now.
    Initially, it would prompt me to Sign In with my Apple ID and password each time it tried to start, and when I clicked Sign In, it'd respond with variations of:
        "Your device or computer could not be verified. Contact support for assistance."
        or
        De-authorize/Authorize.
    Frustrated, I'd click Cancel, and it'd crash with:
        "An unknown error occurred (-1008)."
        or
        "An unknown error occurred (-50)."
    More recently, I don't even get the Sign In prompt any more. iTunes now just crashes immediately with unknown error (-50) as soon as it tries to start.
    It is clear that this issue has more to do with the Apple ID than with iTunes specifically, because some of the apps I purchased directly from the App Store (OmniFocus, Fantastical and Forismatic) now prompt me to Sign In with my Apple ID and password each time they try to start, and they never did before. And when I try to sign, they respond with the error:
         "Your device or computer could not be verified. Contact support for assistance."
    Apparently, this is an issue a whole lot of people are experiencing, judging by the long list of Google search returns on the subject; but I'm yet to find a definitive, "official" Apple solution to the problem.
    My Apple ID is the same as it's always been.
    If anyone knows what's really causing this and/or can offer a fix, please H-E-E-E-L-P? I'll even pay to make it go away. I abandoned Windows after 26 years, only to discover that no platform is spared the blackhole of unknown errors.

    Hi, I'e never heard of that error before!???
    Is this purchased music, or your own music files?

  • ITunes library consolidation error: "Copying files failed. An unknown error occurred (-50)."

    My iTunes library has outgrown the HDD on my iMac, so I've started to migrate it over to a Synology NAS.  The iTunes Media folder is set to the NAS, but when I attempt to consolidate the library the operation fails each time with the error: "Copying files failed. An unknown error occurred (-50). 
    I have found this references to this error in the communities from Windows users, but I only use Macs.

    Just trying to give this topic a poke as I am having a similar issue.
    I am rebuilding my library that was on an external drive.  I had a backup of much of the files, but not a direct backup of the iTunes media folder, as well I am now moving it to a new iTunes Media directory on a Synology 1813+ NAS running DSM 4.3 vs. a USB attached drive.
    I have followed all of the correct procedures to move the media directory by using the tools within iTunes, and that all worked perfectly.
    So far iTunes has been able to locate most of the music files through its own processes. Once it completed that process I then initiated "Consolidate files" to move the found files to the new iTunes Media directory on the new NAS.
    I am led to believe that the issue is with a specific file that causes the copy process to stop, but I don't know how to capture what file it might be.
    I am not seeing anything relevent in the console log.
    Hoping someone can throw me some ideas...

    Itunes could not copy 'song' to the ipod 'name ipod' because of an unknown error occurred (-5000)

    This problem does seem pretty random, affecting just a small number of tracks. Apparently it is due to some file corruption or something... Anyway, this thread https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2654317?start=15&tstart=0 has a couple of solutions spelled out. Basically the same thing that a-monk-at-large suggested above. (Delete and redownload the offending tracks.)
