2 error messages when trying to authorize my computer for itunes.

Everytime I try to authorize this computer, I get the error that my request could not be completed because "An unknown error occurred (-50)". And then I get a second error message saying the same thing, but instead of (-50) it is (0x800B0101). Help!

Oh, and fyi, this is on a Windows computer. Thanks!

  • Error message when trying to run the Upgrade for Itunes

    I got a new laptop and to transfer my Itunes I downloaded the latest version of Itunes from the website (v7)
    When I try to run the upgrade on my new laptop I get the error message - *This installation package could not be opened. Verify that the package exists and is accessible, or contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid Windows Installer package.*
    Can anyone help me and give me advice on how to get my itunes upgraded!!!!! I miss my tunes!

    Did you ever figure out the problem? "Contact Software Manufacturer"?? That sounds ominous... I've got the same issue and I'm pretty durn aggravated right about now....
    Thanks!

  • I get this message when trying to authorize my  computer. This apple id has not been used yet with the itunes store. Do i have to purchase first

    get this message when trying to authorize my  computer. This apple id has not bee used with the itunes store.
    Do i have to purchase something, before i can authorize my computer.Thank you in advance for any answers received.

    You cannot buy anything from the iTunes Store until you authorize the computer. Are you unable to authorize it? If so see the following:
    Authorization
    Macs:  iTunes Store- About authorization and deauthorization.
    Windows: How to Authorize or Deauthorize iTunes | PCWorld.
    In iTunes you use the Authorize This Computer or De-authorize This Computer option under the Store menu in iTunes' menubar. For Windows use the ALT-S keys to access it. Or turn on Windows 7 and 8 iTunes menus: iTunes- Turning on iTunes menus in Windows 8 and 7.

  • I receive the follwing error message when trying to open my ipod touch/itunes "the itunes libary.itlfile is lockedon  a lockdisk or you do not have write permission on this file. How do I resolve this problem?

    I receive the follwing error message when trying to open my ipod touch/itunes "the itunes libary.itlfile is lockedon  a lockdisk or you do not have write permission on this file. How do I resolve this problem?

    Repair iTunes Security Permissions
    Right-click on your main iTunes folder and click Properties, then go to the Securitytab and click Advanced. Use the Change Permissions... button grant to your account (or the Users group) and SYSTEM full control of this folder, subfolders and files, then tick the option to Replace permissions entries... which will repair permissions throughout the library. When complete switch to the General tab, click in the Read-only check box to clear it, then click Apply.
    If you don't have the option to change the permissions then use the Owner tab and Edit... button to take ownership from an account with administrator privileges. Tick the option to Replace owner on subcontainers and objects.
    Repeat with the media folder if it isn't stored inside the main iTunes folder.
    If you've brought over the library from another computer you may also want to remove any "mystery" identities (S<string of dashes & digts>) that have come over from the old computer...
    The images above are from Windows 7. Hopefully the system isn't too different in Windows 8.

  • Error Messages when trying to install, uninstall or run iTunes 9

    I get the following error message when trying to Install iTunes:
    The path C:\DOCUME~1\Frank\LOCALS~1\Temp\IXP206.TMP\iTunes.msi cannot be found. Verify that you have access to this location and try again, or try to find the installation package 'iTunes.msi' in a folder from which you can install the product iTunes.
    I search my entire computer for the file but it's not there.
    Then, when I try to uninstall the iTunes and start the install from scratch I get another error:
    "The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable"
    Catch-22, I can't install or uninstall and when I try to run iTunes I get:
    "The action is only valid for products that are installed"
    Very frustrating but I'm stumped and I don't know how to proceed. Any help would be very much appreciated.

    wooooooooo!!! got it working again!! having spent the last 6 hours..no joke six f*cking hours trying to sort it ive finally got iTunes back!!
    ok here is what you need to do:
    go to the link below and download the Microsoft Windows Installer CleanUp Facility.
    http://www.locksleynet.com/2009/06/09/missing-itunesmsi-problem-resolved/
    once you have downloaded it, install it and run it from the start menu. once its up and running remove everything to do with iTunes (so iTunes itself, quicktime, bonjour......the lot). Dont worry about removing iTunes completely, all the music is still there when it works again trust me!!
    ok once you have removed everything restart your computer, im not sure if this is a must but i did it.
    next download quicktime from the apple website (go to the 'downloads' tab near the top. download and install quicktime and restart your computer so the new settings are put in to place ( i think it asks you to restart anyway).
    go back to the apple website, 'downloads' tab and download iTunes itself. install that bad boy and you will be up and running with all your library intact!
    Hope it works for you mate!

  • Error message when trying to import a CD into iTunes

    I get an error message when I try to import a CD into iTunes that says the disk cannot be found. I recently requested to uninstall Tune-up because I kept receiving annoying messages to purchase the software. It looks like Tune-up is deactivated, but now I can't import music. Any suggestions?

    Without much to go on I think your drive is having problems.  It may be something minor such as dust which could possibly be removed using a drive cleaning disc (computer supply store or CD store), or it could be an irregular error in a laser, or tracking, or loose cable, or...
    One way to eliminate any iTunes possibility is if it is consistently doing this with a particular CD then try an alternative ripping tool such as XLD or Max.

  • "Entitlements are not valid" error message when trying to sync ipa file from iTunes to iPad

    Is anyone else getting this error message, "Entitlements are not valid",  when trying to sync .ipa file from iTunes to iPad?
    The issue I'm having is getting the ipa file that was built by the 'Adobe Flash Packager for Iphone' installed into my iPad.
    So, I have a swf file that works and was able to publish it into the Android Market.  I then compiled and build the same flash project with the Packager for Iphone into an .ipa file.  But when I try and install this .ipa file into my iPad to do my testings, i'm getting the error message. 
    I would like to test my ipa file in my iPad device before submitting it to the Apple Store.
    Any help would be appreciated. thank you.

    Developing for iphone can be amazingly complicated and frustrating.  (even before you start coding).  The process of having to create a Certificate, to approving the Certificate, to Assigning the deviceIDs to the certificate, to creating the AppIDs, to creating the provisioning profiles and then creating the .p12 file... is just too tedious. 
    I solved the problem of the "Entitlements are not valid".   The AppID i had set in the iPhone Developer Portal did not match that of the AppID i had set in the Adobe Flash CS5 -> Publish Settings.  (ie. com.yourdomainname.yourappname).  After I re-entered my AppID and compile, i was able to sync the .ipa file into my ipad. 
    I wish the error message had been a little more descriptive.  Could have saved me a whole day.
    I hope this helps others.  But my guess is, if you don't set the 40 character device ID correctly, or the email in the signingcertificate correctly, you'll get this same generic error message.

  • I keep getting error messages when trying download a tv show in iTunes

    I have been trying to download this for two days now, and I keep getting various error messages. The latest have been -3256, -42, -3271. All telling me to check my network connection (which is working just fine) or telling me that there are too many files open (even when iTunes was the only thing open). I've restarted iTunes several times, and I've restarted my computer twice as well, but it still comes up. Does anyone else have this problem or know how to fix it? I really would like to watch this video I'm downloading.

    This could be an issue with security software (firewall, anti-virus, etc) on your computer conflicting with iTunes. Either disable the software or configure it to properly run with iTunes:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106439
    Basically, you will need to allow ports 3689 (TCP) and 5353 (UDP) access in your security software.

    I too am having this problem and have had, for about a week now.
    I've found that by logging off itunes (if I can), closing it down, and then restarting it, sometimes allows it to work for one transaction (say downloading an updated app). After that it's back to the same error.
    Really annoying.

  • Error message when trying to back up iPhone in iTunes

    I am running the latest version of iTunes (12.1.2.27) on Windows. I have a iPhone 5s running iOS 8.3. When I connect my iPhone to my PC and select "Back up Now" under "Manually Backup and Restore" in iTunes it will start the backup but then come back and show the error message "iTunes could not back up the iPhone because an error occurred". It doesn't specify what that error is. I tried rebooting my PC and restarting my iPhone and reconnecting, but I am unable to backup my iPhone and keep getting the same error message. I suspect this might be an issue with with either iTunes 12.1.2.27 or iOS 8.3 as it started to happen after I updated both of them.  Anyone have any ideas?

  • Error message when trying to transfer/sync video from itunes to ipod

    I have never had this problem before, but I just purchased a couple music videos from itunes and then was trying to manually transfer/sync them to my ipod and then I receive the error message "Attempting to copy to the disk failed. The disk could not be read from or written to"
    I can transfer/sync music just fine still, and I have transferred music videos in the past. And I checked the info tab on the music videos and they are "protected content" but I have been able to transfer other protected content videos from itunes before.
    I have tried restarting itunes and the ipod, putting it in disk mode and nothing seems to work. I would appreciate someone's help, THANK YOU!
