Unknown error -50 from iTunes

When I download albums I get this error 'an unknown error ocurred -50) and certain tracks will not download.  Never had it before, though I upgraded itunes to the latest version.  I'm running crappy Lion and I have no firewall on router.  Anyone know how to stop this?
Thanks

Perhaps try the "Error -50," "-5000," "8003," "8008," or "-42023" section in the Specific Conditions and Alert Messages: (Mac OS X / Windows) section of the following document:

  • I got unknown error 21 on iTunes when I try to restore my Ipad2

    It all started when I was deleting an e-mail (from an uknown adress), then Mail was closing and I went back to my homescreen.
    Suddenly I see that all my purchased apps where gone, only shortcuts to Safari and the original Apple programs were in place.
    Then I tried to push the home and the power button to restart the device, it turns back on again without any affect.
    I connect my Ipad to the Mac Pro running OSX 10.6.8. and open iTunes, then I tried to recover a safety copy from the list, without any luck.
    The result of this ends with a device showing just the Apple logo a while, and then the iTunes wire.
    The problem with showing "unknown error 21" in iTunes seems to be a usual Windows third-party issue, but I`m running it on a Mac.
    I tried all basic steps in the Apple support, but it still came back with the message: "detected iPad in recovery mode...you will have to restore it before it can be used with iTune", and then a message that tells me the Ipad device can not me restored, unknown error 21.
    I have no firewall, the time is correct, I`m running the latest iTunes version 10.6.1, I can connect to the iTunes store and it looks okey.
    I connected the original 30-pins connector on the back, unpluging all other USB-devices, I checked this and several other things, but I just can`t get it to work.
    Before it turned into this "Brick" I noticed that the indication on used memory for programs (green) went down to zero,
    and "other" (yellow) were the biggest area ( app.14 GB )

  • I have 3 songs that will not download and the volume of error messages from Itunes about these "3" is annoying. I know my way around Itunes but cannot find a way to delete them and stop these Itunes download error messages.

    I have 3 songs that will not download and the volume of error messages from Itunes about these "3" is annoying. I know my way around Itunes but cannot find a way to delete them and stop these Itunes download error messages.
    Thank you.

    Thanks Mohammad - much appreciated.
    I also got a response from Apple who said that there was a problem related to fonts and the encryption.xml file
    Once we'd removed this we were able to upload the epub no problem.
    It's odd that the system seems to say that all is okay when it isn't. We have to rely on guesswork rather a lot using iBook Producer.
    Anyway, all sorted now and thank you again for your contribution.
    Best wishes and a Happy New Year!

  • IPhone 6, Unknown Error 56, RED iTunes logo, stuck in recovery mode, won't restore, ios 8 - 8.0.2 update fail!

    Hi
    I just got my new iphone 6 and it was on ios 8 and everything was working fine i guess, i decided to download ios 8.0.2 as it was a brand new phone and i wanted the newest software on it to fix all the bugs just incase i had them.
    i started the update process from the phone, and before the update was complete, i'd say 80% or so along the way, the phone goes into recovery mode displaying a red itunes logo and the cable on the screen.i tried all the suggestions out there and even googled and youtubed to try and find a solution with no luck. even did a few searches on this forum as this is the place i usually come to get most of my answers.
    here is what i did in attempts to fix this.
    tryed restoring through itunes on both recovery mode and DFU mode, with both ios 8.0 and ios 8.0.2 files.
    let itunes re-download the update file just incase i had gotten a bad copy the first time around, tried with that
    used 3 different computers, 2 macs and 1 pc
    switched usb ports
    unplugged all other usb devices
    updated itunes and OS
    always kept getting the mysterious "unknown error 56" msg searched all over for what that could mean with no luck. the process always seems to stop at the same place, and the second i unplug the phone, it jumps right back into recovery mode with the red itunes logo. if i were in a place that had a genious bar i would've gone there.
    i need help fixing this problem please also i'd like to report this error to apple, really wanna do my part to help by reporting at the very least, so also if someone could tell me how to go about doing that, this is just sooo frustrating
    any help would be greatly appreciated.
    MM.

  • My purchases show partially downloaded. When I attempt to resume the download I recieve an error message " an unknown error occurred -50" Itunes has charged for the download and sent a reciept however the shows wont play?

    My Purchases show partially downloaded. When I attempt to resume the download I recieve an error message: "an unknown error occurred -50". I tunes has charged for the download and sent a reciept however the shows wont play?

    I had the same problem so (assuming under the Purchased items in the Store you have a song stuck at 'Downloading'):
    I went to Music, then Artists.
    From there I chose the album.
    The song that failed to download had the cloud symbol next to it.
    I clicked the cloud symbol and the song completed the download for me.
    (Please note this was in iTunes for Windows - I expect it to be similar in iTunes for Apple)

  • Unknown error (-50) from Photoshop TV Podcast

    My downloads of Photoshop TV no longer work. I get an error that says "There was a problem downloading "Photoshop TV". An unknown error occurred (-50). Please check that the URL is correct and the connection to the network is active and try again."
    I haven't changed a thing. I tried deleting the subscription and re-subscribing but that didn't fix it either. I've searched this forum for -50 errors but didn't see anything that looked like it would solve my problem.
    Any help would be appreciated.

  • Unknown error --45054 on iTunes

    After installin 10.9 i checked applications and noticed that Itunes gives the "Unknown Error -45054" I click ok the the applications closes. Also Itunes is running 11.1.2, any one else having issues since loading new OS? Needing a little assistance if possible.

    Hi,
    re: the dialogue:  You do not have enough access privileges for this operation  Error code -45054
    A fellow musican I know had an identical issue with this and asked me to check it out.  I fixed it and wrote a long set of instructions on my blog.  His problem was with 10.6 but it was an update he did preparing to move to Mavericks.
    I was able to reproduce the error by just removing the /Shared folder from /Users

  • Unknown Error Message in Itunes. (-9808)

    Hi all,
    Currently I have itunes installed on a external/portable Hard Drive.
    It has been working relatively ok. However, just a moment ago I tried to do an update (latest version on iTunes) and the error message came up. Then I tried to
    download an App from the Itunes Store and the same message poped up.
    Message:
    *We could complete your iTunes Store request. An unknown error occured (-9808)*
    There was an error in the iTunes store. Please try again later.
    I have gone to *Help > Check for Update.* and the update box appears asking if I would like to update iTunes. However, when I accept it does nothing, and does not update iTunes.
    I am wondering if having my iTunes installed on an external Drive is the reason why my its not functioning properly.
    I have organised for all iTunes files to be set up on the external, so I would assume that it would work ok.
    Would anyone have a clue what I have done wrong?
    Your help would be greatly appreciated!
