-50 error when downloading song

I have been able to download songs in the past no problem on this computer. My daughter downloaded a song and got a -50 error after a few seconds. She pushed the retry button and it seemed to download from where it left off to completion. However, on playback, only the first couple of seconds plays. If I click on the time bar about 5 seconds further down on the timeline than where the songs quits prior to it quiting, it plays the rest of the song properly. One thing I did notice was that at the end of the download, it took an extra long time to finalize the download. I have contacted tech support, but the suggestions haven't helped, or don't seem to apply to my situation. Thanks in advance for any suggestions or help.

I too had this -50 error message last evening when trying to purchase/download a set of 7 tunes that had been sitting in my Shopping Cart for quite a few days. The Shopping Cart was emptied and a greyed-out listing of the seven items showed up in my "Purchased" list (along with previously purchased items) as well as in a new list labeled "Downloading."
Tried several times to re-download, but kept getting the same error messages. Along the way, I also saw a message pop up telling me that my computer WAS properly authorized.
I gave up and went to bed frustrated. When I started up iTunes this morning, there was no record of any (attempted) download items anywhere and the Shopping cart was still empty. The tunes are not in my library. Everything has gone away.
As I am typing this, I've just received an e-mail "Receipt" from the iTunes music store for the 7 items and an indication that the cost has been billed to my Visa account!
It seems I'm being billed for music I don't have. How do I resolve this?

  • -50 error when downloading songs

    I've been searching for an answer. I get the message"-50 unexpected error" when my songs that I recently bought attempt to download to my library. This happens once in awhile but has been rather frequent recently. How do you fix this problem

  • Error when downloading songs, now they are gone.

    I purchased Godspeed You! Black Emperor's "Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas to Heaven", and got an error about disk space after a few minutes. I noticed my C disk barely had any space on it (I really shouldn't let my sister use my computer), so I cleaned it up a bit. When I tried to resume the downloads, nothing happened. One of them had a little pause button, which I pressed, the status bar finished downloading, but the song was still in the "Downloading list", and when that was done, I couldn't resume anything.
    I decided to restart the program just in case, but when I opened it again, the songs weren't even in my Purchased list!
    I am fully aware of the fact that you yourself need to ensure that your songs are backed up and all that, but if I'm being charged for this, I'm gonna be pretty ******, it's not my fault that the program screws something up.

    Right, I checked, and it downloaded. Thanks.
    The problem NOW though, is that it only downloaded three of the four songs on the album, and the fourth song is nowhere to be found. And since all the songs are album only, I can't buy them sepperately.

    I keep getting the error 306 cannot connect to the iTunes Network when downloading songs on iTunes. I've tried all the troubleshooting steps from the forums and my technical issues are still unresolved. I have Windows 7. Please help!!

    iTunes Store loads partially or returns "Error 306" or "Error 10054"
    Proxies, parental control settings and software, security or filtering software, or a bad iTunes Store cache can cause this.
    To address proxies, Remove Internet Options proxy settings  ( http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1490 ) and connect to the Internet without a proxy.
    To reset iTunes Store cache:
    In iTunes, choose iTunes > Preferences (Mac) or Edit > Preferences (PC).
    Click the Advanced tab.
    Click the "Reset cache" button.
    Click OK and see if the issue is resolved.
    Adjust Parental Controls in iTunes:
    Open iTunes.
    Access iTunes preferences:
    On a Mac: From the iTunes menu, choose Preferences.
    On a Windows PC: From the Edit menu, choose Preferences.
    Click the Parental Controls tab.
    Remove restrictions on Parental Controls.
    For more information on parental controls or content filtering software, see iTunes 10.5 for Windows: May see performance issues and blank iTunes Store.

  • Corrupt file message when downloading song

    I keep getting an error message that the file may be corrupted when I try to purchase from the itunes store.
    It appears that the recent itunes software update is not working right with my computer. I have even tried to download after I shut off my internet software. To no avail.
    Can I get a refund if I keep having problems and not getting my songs? Any help appreciated.

    probably the best thing to do with a #10008 is to report it directly to the store. using purchase history or the email form at the bottom of the following FAQ would both work fine (use "other" in the message number field, and cite the number in the text of your message):

    You have probably downloaded the Norton program which is one of the least desirable helpmates you can invite in.

  • Why do I get the message: additional fees may apply when downloading songs over cellular in my itunes on my iphone 5? Plus I see the cloud icon that is either greyed out or red

    I uploaded my old songs on my computer then I tried to sync them in my iphone's music library and I can't listen to the previously purchased songs... They either appear red with the cloud icon or greyed out... And I get the following message when I tap on them: additional fees may apply when downloading songs over cellular
    Anyone can help?

    Un-sync all your music to remove it from the device, then restart (hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until you see the apple, then let go). Now re-sync your music.
