An unknown error occurred (-1450)

I got an "An unknown error occured (-1450)" message when downloading an album from iTunes and not all tracks were downloaded - how do I get the remaining tracks and what went wrong?

Just to be clear, do you have the "iTUnes Music" folder with all the songs on another drive, or the "iTUnes Music Library.xml" file on the other drive?

  • The itunes library file cannot be saved. An Unknown error occurred (-1450)

    Greetings,
    I'm getting the following error:
    The itunes library file cannot be saved. An Unknown error occurred (-1450)
    I have uninstalled/reinstalled Itunes twice including deleting the old databases. After importing my old songs I get the above error continuously and when I restart Itunes my songs are no longer listed in Itunes.
    One thing, all the folders on my computer or now "Read-Only" I can't get rid of this. I uncheck it and aply the change but when I check the properties for the folder again Read-Only is selected again. This is a funny read-only in that the check in the box selecting read-only is ghosted but still there AND WONT GO AWAY.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks.

    i did move the music library folder to a shared documents folder, but I'm the only one who uses that folder. and the hard drive is not full, almost, but still 10 gigs left for use. itunes was working fine, and then one time when it started up it said the there were missing files, and that itunes had to be reinstalled. I looked but could not see any missing files. nothing bad has happened.it cant be a virius, because i have not been on the internet at all in the last month. but i did use CCleaner to clean out my hard drive of unnecessary files , not the first time i have, and then itunes did not work, this has never happened after I've done this so i doubt that CC was the prolbem. I looked at all of the files it was going to delete, and none of them were related to itunes.

  • The iTunes Library cannot be saved. An unknown error occured (-1450)

    Well I've been researching this for about 2 hours now on the apple forums and on other outside sources. For those who are unaware of the problem basically itunes gives an error saying that the library could not be saved and when itunes is started up the next time the entire library is erased. This can become a very large pain when your library consists of over 3,000 songs and over 100 videos. The best part is that absolutely nobody seems to have the answer. No it is not an issue with my anti-virus (NOD 32), I have already tried disabling it from scanning itunes files or folders with no results. I have also tried uninstalling and updating to version 7.0.2 (from 7.0.1) with no luck either. I have tried uninstalling quicktime and installing the standalone version once again with no luck. I have checked to make sure the itunes folder is not read only and it is not. I have tried enabling and disabling windows from performing DEP scans on itunes. I have tried almost every thing suggested and the best results appear to be a coincidence as the problem only goes away for a short time (just like with everybody else). Also I would like to note that this has only been happening since I bought my new ipod video and was forced to upgrade to 7.0. With my 3rd gen ipod I never had any issues with my itunes library being erased. If you are going to try and post a solution, please make sure you have waited at least 48 hours to make sure that the problem does not occur again for you.
    PS Maybe you should start looking into this apple?

    I've had this problem forever...or since upgrading to 7. I've tried everything, including downgrading to 6.05, but nothing works. Apple refuses to acknowledge the problem, so until they do their job we're pretty much screwed.

  • The Itunes Library File Could Not Be Saved A unknown Error Occurred -1450

    I keep getting this error message since I updated to this version of Itunes. Ver. 7.0.2.16. I had absolutly no problems until this update. I have removed and reinstalled twice..and I mean removed all files ccleanered the whole PC the whole she-bang, re-ripped my music, new ITL library,XML every thing, over five thousand songs.
    I noticed while importing songs I would get this 1450 error if I tryed doing to many songs at once, looked like a resources issue even though the memory and processer usage was showing plenty of headroom..?? But now its popping up while just trying to play songs in ITUNES. It says its unable to save the file etc. and causes stutterring in the song but amazingly song counts etc. show up in the times played and date played columns. The ITL file also shows as having last been changed/modified at the same time the error message says it couldn't be saved...anyone know what's going on here???
    Tried running with no virus checker running, no firewall etc. Ran a tweakIU routine ...a fix suggestion that I found on a google search, reset the file permissions etc.
    I also get the insufficent privilages message error when trying to set ITUNES as default audio player....(I have ADMIN priv.)
    I'm apparantly not the only person experiencing this, a Google search gets a lot of hits on this 1450 error message.
    HELP PLEASE
    ASUS CUSTOM   Windows XP Pro  

    Well I believe I may have found the solution to the -1450 error at least for my situation.
    While pouring over settings I noticed ITUNES runs in a protected memory space. Well this along with the symptoms displayed (being unable to update the library file if a large number or files are changed/edited added etc.) led me to examine my virtual memory settings under the Windows/control panel/performance/advanced/Memory usage tab and I noticed that for some reason memory usage was selected as optimized for "System cache" VS "programs". I changed this to programs and also while in the same area disabled the EP "execution prevention" feature of the INTEL processor.
    I can now import change/files listen to music etc. without this -1450 error presenting itself.
    I'm not sure which of the two steps solved the problem but I suspect the Memory optimization being set for "system cache" was the problem.
    While I never had any problems running other apps.(I do have a lot of memory)I think ITUNES was having a problem with this setting when writing to and from temp files and the ITUNES.ITL file.
    I have no idea how or when or why this setting was as it was as all my other PC's are set for program performance optimization.
    Hope some one finds this helpful.

  • The iTunes Library file cannot be saved. An unkown error occurred [-1450]

    Has anyone encountered the following iTunes error,
    " The iTunes Library file cannot be saved. An unkown error occurred [-1450] "
    Whenever I shut my iTunes down the next time I start it up the library seems to be lost. I can do an Add Folder to Library from the File options, pick my iTunes Music folder and copy everything back in. However the whole repeats when I close iTunes down again. Have tried re-installing iTunes but this did not work.
    Has anyone got any suggestions,
    Thanks.

    From an OS9 reference, error -54 is a software lock on a file or a permissions error. (Some of the old codes still apply to OSX although there is no formal list of OSX error codes.)

  • How can you get your music synced from iTunes to your iPod when a window pop ups on the screen saying"The iPod "Edward's iPod" cannot be synced. An unknown error occured (13019))?

    I had 429 songs already on my iPod Touch. When I was in the process of syncing a song from my iTunes Library on to my iPod, a window popped up on the screen saying, ""The iPod "Edward's iPod" cannot be synced. An unknown error occured (13019)). I click "Device" on my iTunes Library to make sure the song was in my iPod. It showed the song that was recently synced now listed under "Device", but when I physically looked for the song on my iPod Touch, it does not appear on there at all. It all started when I decided to put a Playlist I created in the iTunes Library and transferred it on to my iPod. Do you know why it may affected my syncing process and is there any way where I could get the syncing function back to normal so that I can continue adding songs on my iPod? Thank you for listening.    P.S. My iPod iOS version is 4.3.5.

  • I downloaded an album from iTunes and some of the songs downloaded but others didn't there was an error message 8003 Unknown error occurred. While I downloaded the album to my phone, it wouldn't download to my mac, what am I doing wrong???

    I purchased an album on ITunes store, while the items downloaded to my phone, it didn't download to my mac. Some of the songs downloaded but not the majority, when I try to download the songs, it gives me an error 8003 Unknown error occured. What am I doing wrong? If I can't download this album, how do I get a credit??

    Hello mercdw,
    Once the music has been downloaded to your iPhone, you can transfer purchases from your device to iTunes.

    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848
    Alternatively, the following article provides further information regarding this error and steps that can help resolve the issue.
    "Error -50," "-5000," "8003," "8008," or "-42023"
    These alerts occur due to timeouts or conflicts trying to write a file during download.
    If you encounter this issue while accessing iTunes Store:
    See iTunes 9: "One Moment Please" or "Error (-50)" message when accessing iTunes Store
    If you encounter this issue while while downloading something from the iTunes Store:
    Delete your iTunes Downloads folder, located in:
    Mac OS X:
  ~/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/Downloads   Note: "iTunes Media" may appear as "iTunes Music. Also, the tilde (~) refers to your Home directory.
    Windows Vista:

    Windows 7:
  \Users\username\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Media\Downloads\
    Windows XP:

    After locating your iTunes Downloads folder:
    Quit iTunes.
    Delete the Downloads folder on your computer.
    Open iTunes.
    Choose Store > Check for Available Downloads.
    Enter your account name and password.
    If you encounter this issue while while downloading Digital Copies using Windows:
    Use MSCONFIG (directions for Windows XP and Windows Vista/Windows 7) to disable conflicting software.
    If using MSCONFIG steps resolves the issue, you may want to use the System Configuration Utility to turn on the third-party System Services and Startup Items one at a time (restarting your computer after turning on the item or items) to identify which System Service or Startup Item is causing the conflict.
    You can turn all of them back on by selecting the Normal Startup option under the General tab of the System Configuration Utility window, but please note that this may cause the issue to reoccur.
    If you are able to isolate the issue to a particular third-party software, you may wish to contact them to let them know of the conflict.

  • Itunes wont open, I get "itunes application could not be opened. An unknown error occurred (-50)"

    I'm on Windows 7 - using itunes daily without problems and suddenly itunes wont open, I get "itunes application could not be opened. An unknown error occurred (-50)"  The only thing I can think is I think there was a download in progress when I shut down the computer.
    I tried uninstalling and reinstalled, but I get the same thing. I tried clearing the itunes folder and reinstalling, same thing. help!

    Doublechecking. When you did the complete uninstall, were you using the following document as a guide?
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
    (If damaged program files are involved here, a standard install might not remove them, and a reinstall might not then replace them. So the Verify iTunes and related components are completely uninstalled section is an important step.)

  • "There was a problem downloading podcast. An unknown error occurred (-50)"

    Hello everyone,
    When I try to download the latest episode of my podcast feed, I see an exclamation mark next to the episode. When I click on the exclamation mark for more information, I see the following error message:
    "There was a problem downloading <podcast_episode>. An unknown error occurred (-50). Please check that the URL is correct and the connection to the network is active and try again."
    I was hoping that somebody might take a look at my feed and review the code for any potential problems. It can be found here:
    http://www.stereogol.com/audio/wimpy_podcast.php
    Important notes:
    1. This is not XML code. It is an XML generator created in PHP.
    2. This feed used to work fine in iTunes. I had many episodes already downloaded.
    3. I began noticing the problem after upgrading to iTunes version 7 and beyond.
    4. I know at least 3 other people that experienced the same problem with my feed after upgrading.
    5. Upgrading to newer service packs (7.0.2 for example) has not solved the problem.
    6. I ran my feed through an RSS validator. It spotted 2 errors: (1) the width of the podcast image and (2) the syntax of the <source> tag. I made corrections but they did not solve the problem. I changed them back after that.
    Thanks in advance for any input you can provide.

  • There was a problem downloading An unknown error occurred (-50).

    Hi,
    After upgrading to Itunes 11 it refused to play movies I had purchased through the Itunes store, even though I could see the files were there on my hard drive, and the movie covers were visible in Itunes. I discovered that the only way to get them playing was to redownload them from the Icloud. If this wasn't bad enough (I have over 200GB of movies) I am getting the following error on particular files.
    There were problems downloading some purchased items.
    For more information on the items that could not be downloaded, click below.
    There was a problem downloading “The Avengers - iTunes Extras / The Avengers / Joss Whedon”. An unknown error occurred (-50).
    Please check that the connection to the network is active and try again.

    I hope somone can help me with both problems because whilst my ISP might like to see me download 200MB of data (I pay extra when I go over 20GB in a month), I would not. Also the error problem would be usefull to correct because I would hate to lose any of my Itunes purchases. I should probably mention that I am using Windows 8 64 bit.
    Thanks,
    Lachlan

    Hi Lachlan,
    That sounds frustrating. Luckily, we have documentation on this error message:
    iTunes Store: "Error (-50)" when downloading purchased content
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1583
    This can happen when the connection timeout occurs while downloading purchased content from the iTunes Store. Certain types of software may also affect the way a computer sends and receives information from the internet. Here are a few examples of these types of software:
    - Firewalls
    - Web Accelerators
    - Ad Filters
    - Virus Protection Software
    Cheers!,
