Itunes - download failure

I have purchaesed n album this morning, and receive a download error: 'There was a problem downloading "track/album/artist". An unknown error occurred (-50). Please cvheck that the connection to the network is active and try again.'
I have tried again, I have tried the purchase again (which it does not allow) and my network connection is just fine. I only purchased via iTunes so I could get the album instantly.
Any ideas what is going wrong?
Thanks in advance.

This article, according to the contents, applies to an error -50 on downloading videos.
Maybe it could be of help.

HT1725 Itunes download failure

I downloaded a song and the download completed but when I play the song it stops afer 30 seconds when the song is 3:39 long. I believe my internet connection was messed up so how can I get the full song without re purchasing it?

If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copy of the track and try redownloading a fresh one. See the following document for instructions:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the item that is not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the item, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.

How to Troubleshoot iTunes 10.6 Download Failure in Firefox 14.0.1 ??

How to Troubleshoot iTunes 10.6 Download Failure in Firefox 14.0.1 ??
posted Thursday, 02 August 2012 at 07:43AM PDT, by Matthew B. | @QHereKidSF
SIMPLY-PUT !!
I am desperate to know of any possible workaround solutions that might resolve inexplicable failure(s) to download iTunes 10.6 (http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/) in Mozilla Firefox 14.0.1 Browser for Windows 7 (64-bit) OS...!!
FURTHER DETAILED !!
In an aimlessly ill-informed effort to troubleshoot the "Please install Apple Application Support" ERROR Message reported subsequent to my numerous attempts to "repair/install" the most recent and otherwise previously up-to-date versions of Apple QuickTime & iTunes on my HP Pavilion dv4 Entertainment Notebook PC, running on the Windows 7 (64-bit) OS... I mistakenly (perhaps?) thought it wise to attempt to execute a complete uninstall/reinstall of both QuickTime & iTunes. Oops... YIKES !!
Somewhere along the knotty entangled threads of my most circuitous web-research, as I browsed for information and instructional resources regarding proper procedure for (re)-installing Apple Application Support (amongst other peripheral software programs provided by Apple, Inc. as integral technical components essential to seamless & successful installation, application and operation of the most current/up-to-date versions of Apple QuickTime & Apple iTunes), I seem to recall reading explicit suggestions from well-rated community support contributors to proceed with the aforementioned course of action...
Unfortunately, now that I no longer have either Apple QuickTime or iTunes currently installed on my Win7OS HP Pavilion Notebook PC, I continue consistently to fail at initializing either a functional download or installation solely of iTunes 10.6 -- so far!!
When I link to the Apple iTunes 10.6 Download URL (listed herein, above!) and click the (blue) DOWNLOAD NOW Button located near mid-center of the left-sidebar in the presumably appropriate/correct browser tab window (fully framed and immediately visible in maximized view, on my screen), what seems then to occur is pretty much what one could only image/explain &/or describe as "zip/zilch, nothing/nada, absolute silence, stillness: a blatantly obvious failure to initiate functional download of anything at all, whatsoever...!!"
Not a single hint of code or even a mere bleep/beep/blink/blip in my Win7OS or HP Pavilion Monitor Display appears before for me; ultimately, suggesting without any real certainty whatsoever that a download of the iTunes 10.6 Software Installation Package has perhaps initialized, successfully...!!?
WHAT TO DO? What to do? ...ARGGHHH !!
I am desperate to find a workaround solution with which to troubleshoot and ideally resolve these persistent difficulties I continue to encounter when attempting to download iTunes 10.6 via Mozilla Firefox 14.0.1 on the Win7OS (64-bit) of my HP Pavilion dv4 Entertainment Notebook PC!!
Might there possibly be anyone -- anyone, at all!! -- out there, somewhere amidst the knotty entangled nets broadly cast far'cross the endlessly great and expansive waves of this worldwide cyberspace we share, who perhaps would know of a proper workaround fix with which I might troubleshoot my current web-computing technology crisis??
If indeed so, please do come diving face-first forward toward me... with any decent amount of valuably trustworthy information, instruction, advice, guidance, support or even encouragement that you might be readily willing and able to provide!! Please, please...!!?
Any worthwhile, effective assistance that's provided to me (in as short an order as possible) would be most sincerely appreciated & acknowledged widely across the web by me... with resounding cries of humble recognition, admiration, and deeply indebted gratitude!! At least, that's only as much as I can so far surmise to guarantee, at this point -- thus far and so moving forward!!
Yes, indeed...!! That's a promise which I intend to keep; should all issues be resolved well much for and in my favor, as well as much, much sooner rather than far-too much later -- hopefully, even by the end of the coming day; one might say... *sigh* Hehe. WINK/GRIN...
Boy o'boy, now... That sure would delight me to the nth-infinite degree, indeed! "As heck a'heaven-high: FOR SURE!!" I dare say...

Itunes download page - failure to display

Anyone know the secret for getting the itunes download page to display properly? Windows XP, IE6 is what I use.
Thanks in advance for any help,

hi Steve!
are you seeing a blank blue box? the usual culprit with that is
b McAfee Privacy Service.
(it also hides the download buttons on the ipod software updater page.) see the McAfee entry here:

... and also see related posts in the thread by Blandine Catastrophe and btabz.

You can't Restore to any iOS other than 7.1.
If the error persists, try on another computer. Still no joy, it is a hardware failure.

Itunes downloaded but will not open

i have just downloaded itunes and when the download was complete i tried to open the software and nothing happened, i have never had a virus or anything on my computer so i am just comfused, how do i get it to open?

hi stubbs!
let's start off with the three usual suspects with an "error-message-free" itunes launch failure:
if you don't see anything but a two-second-hourglass AND you've got Norton Internet Security 2005 on that PC
... let's start you off with the trusty Lorraine M technique:
Lorraine M: NIS/itunes problem rectified
(other symptoms people sometimes see with the NIS 2005 one include looooong slooooow PC shutdown times, a ccApp.exe end program dialog box during the shutdowns, and a end program dialog box where the name of the program is apparently a long string of non-printing or random Asian characters ...)
if you don't see anything but a two-second-hourglass but you DON'T have NIS 2005 on that PC
... quickly check to see if you've got an unstable itunes configuration file:
iTunes for Windows doesn't open after upgrading
if you see a brief flash of the itunes license screen when you try to launch itunes AND you see similar behavior when you try to open your QuickTime
... your PC is probably infested by Qoologic adware. the free trial version of the EWIDO malware removal software has been cleaning that up for most folks:
http://www.ewido.net/en/
if no joy with any of those possibilities, we'll try checking on some of the rarer possibilities. (actually the configuration file thing is pretty rare too, but we've got a troubleshooting document on it so i throw it out there anyway early on in proceedings.)
if, on the other hand, you're getting an error message when you try to launch itunes, post back to let us know what it says. the treatments for those are generally different from the treatments for the error-message-free itunes launch failures.

ITunes download 8.2 won't open

Downloaded above and now when I try to open same I get the message 'Data Execution Prevention - Microsoft Windows To help protect your computer Windows has closed this program'
Have reinstalled iTunes and it makes no difference.
Please help a very frustrated senior.

The first thing to check is Quicktime, does it launch and work normally?
iTunes can not work if Quicktime doesn't.
A common cause of DEP errors with Quicktime after an upgrade is the installation of codec packs which are not compatible with the new Quicktime.
IF Quicktime works normally use this article on troubleshooting iTunes launch failures:
XP
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1421
Vista version
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1717
If Quicktime does not work:
Have you installed any of the following:
ACE & K-Lite mega codecs package, QT alternative, Storm codec, WinAVI video converter, Mpcstar, (possibly starcodec pack, 3ivx)
If so uninstall them, they are know to cause problems with QUickitme.
Then download the version of Quickime without iTunes:
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/win.html
Now Remove Quicktime using the method for Quicktime in this article (just Quicktime):
XP
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925
Vista
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
When you come to your C:\Windows\system32\ folder you can delete any file or folder with Quicktime in the name.
Restart you computer
Install the stand alone Quicktime and check if it starts.
If it does you are in a position to find out if iTunes is OK.

My iTunes downloads were made using my old gmail address. I had to quit using this email address as it got hacked. I created a new gmail account. How can I get my iTunes downloads into the new gmail account?

My iTunes downloads were made using my old gmail address. I had to quit using this address as it got hacked. How do I get my iTunes downloads into my new iTunes account that was created with a new gmail address? In my old iTunes account (with the old gmail address, I can't 'update' my email address or even 'add an alternate address' as I had already created this gmail account and inputting the new address into iTunes gives me the 'pop-up' that 'this account is already in use.' Advice please!

Good luck. It took me weeks to fix this when I had to do it. Your old ID branches out in lots of places. You may have to delete app and get them again, at least that is what Apple told me. Plus, all of your settings on your iPad that required any ID, will have to be changed. My old ID kept showing up in different places for weeks. Changing it on Apple.com is just the beginning.

In the latest verision of ITunes (downloaded yesterday) I can no longer see how large (in GB's) my music library or playlists are. This is a very valuable function and it seems to have disappeared. Anyone know where it is?

Go to the View menu and turn on the Status Bar. If you don't see the menus, go to the small icon with the arrow at the extreme upper left and select "Show Menu Bar":

How long should itunes download take on new computer with windows 7 64 bit ie8?

I bought a new computer and need to sync my iphone with it. I'm getting a msg that it has 17+ hrs left to download itunes......seems too long and wonder what I'm doing wrong. thx.

Try downloading an installer from the Apple website using a different web browser:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
If you use Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa), do you get a working installer?

Problem with itunes update. I am running OSX v 10.4.11 and can't get itunes to update. I had itunes 9.1.1 and when I tried ask it to update it said there was no update. sent old itunes to trash and now apple site itunes download is not working. help...

From Apple website when I go to itunes update to 10.3 I am not seeing the left column to download itunes 10.3. Does anyone else have this problem? I tried yesterday as well. Today, I threw my itunes 9.1.1 in the trash and emptied it... and then rebooted. What am I doing wrong?

What operating system are you running? I doubt it's an iPhone OS on a Mac Mini, but if you meant to choose 10.4 then you're out of luck. http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/ At the bottom of the left hand column on this page, you'll see it requires OS X 10.5 or higher.

Itunes downloaded but won't open on Windows 8

I just purchased a laptop with Windows 8 and Itunes downloaded fine but it won't open. It says "Itunes has stopped working". I have a Sony Vaio and my previous computer was a Sony Vaio so I know it should be working. Any tips or advice on what to try?

If that doesn't solve things then for general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for installation or performance issues, or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there are also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.

If you want to sync your iPhone with a new computer, take a look at this Apple doc -> Using iPhone, iPad, or iPod with multiple computers
iTunes will let you sync some stuff from multiple computers, but it'll only let you sync music, videos or apps from one iTunes library.

ITUNES downloads from store causing BSOD windows stop error- Please Help!

Hi everyone,
maybe someone can help me out or knows how to fix this problem.
Problem in detail:
This problem started since I updated to the latest version of itunes 7 to download video for my ipod video 30gb. Itunes worked perfect on my computer before updating as I used it with an ipod mini.
I was able to use my new IPOD 30gb fine and transfer all my music to it correctly.
The main problem occurrs when downloading anything from itunes store...1st noticed this when my podcasts were updating and downloading and then the system suddenly crashed with the windows blue screen error message and had to reboot. This happened multiple times so I disabled the automatic downloads of podcasts. Itunes then works fine when not downloading anything.
I then tried purchasing a TV show, whole series, and when it began downloading, the Exact same Error and Blue screen will occur--Very Frustrating.
I uninstalled ITUNES and Quicktime, and then reinstalled them via the latest download from itunes. The same errors still occur.
When windows reboots and sends error report to Microsoft, it states the error is due to a Driver error of which the specific driver is not known.
I have called apple/itunes support and spoke with them and they could not figure out the problem and said I should check with my computers cust service and/or microsoft as it was probably something on this end...I did this and they stated the problem must be something with itunes and especially since all other programs run fine on my system.
SO basically I am going in circles trying to figure this out so I am hoping someone here may know how to fix this problem.
Not only that, but I tried the same on my desktop as I figured I could at least download my podcasts and purchases to my desktop and then transfer to my ipod from there(as I am mainly using my labtop for my ipod) and updated my desktop to itunes 7 latest version,, and figured it would work on my desktop with same operating system----but it Caused the SAME error BSOD as my labtop and in same fashion....only when downloading from itunes.
ANy help is much appreciated as I got the ipod video mainly because of ITUNES video content and podcasts and if I cannot use these major functions on ITUNES than This Was a Complete Waste for me to get the Video IPOD.
Hope there is a way to fix
Thanks

I afraid can’t help much with this, but no one else
has answered. It does seem very odd that two
different computers have the same problem. It makes
you wonder about the content you were trying to
download. As a matter of interest was the
installation for both computers done from the same
download file?
When your computer dies, can you read the stop
message or does it disappear, if it does, go to
Control Panel>System>Advanced
Click Settings in Start Up and Recovery and make sure
that Automatically Restart is no checked.
You should be able to get a stop number from the blue
screen and you may also be able to identify the
filename of a driver, which could give a clue to the
problem.
The Microsoft Website has a certain amount of help on
specific stop messages, you can search for the number
of the stop message which will be something like
0x0000000A.
There is also some help on troubleshooting stop
messages here:
http://aumha.org/win5/kbestop.htm
Thanks for your reply.
As far as the content being downloaded from itunes---consisted of different podcasts and also on a separate occasion-the tv show Heroes complete season on ITUNES..So I would guess the error has nothing to do with the content being downloaded.
The ITUNES installation for both computers was from the same itunes download file on this website on apples itunes free download.
I did not write down the most recent stop numbers and no drivers seemed to be named on the blue screen from what I could tell, but I guess I could be missing something...
From a previous crash with the BSOD- the error message listed was this: STOP: 0x00000050 (0xbad0b158, 0x00000000, 0x8056ea22, 00000002)
not sure if this helps maybe figure out the cause of this or not.
Maybe this will help get to the bottom of this.
Thanks
