Error (-39) downloading video podcast, iTunes 7.2.0.34

I am running iTunes 7.2.0.34 on Vista x86. I can successfully download podcasts, and even some free video movies from the iTunes store.
However, I tried downloading the "Steve Jobs and Bill Gates at D5 Conference" podcasts. The audio one came over fine, and the video version downloaded for an hour or so. later I came back to the machine to find that the video version has an exclamation point next to it in my Podcast library. The error says:
"There was a problem downloading "Steve Jobs and Bill Gates at D5 Conference (Video)". An unknown error occured (-39). Please check that the URL is correct and the connection to the network is active and try again"
If I go back and try to "get episode" from the iTunes store, I see the video go into my download queue, but then it immediately dissappears from the queue. The error remains in my podcast library. I even tried deleting both podcast listings from my podcast library and starting again from scratch (including having it move to recycle bin), but same result. Again, the audio file was downloaded no problem, but the video file disappears from the queue immediately.
Anyone else having this problem?

it's a reasonably rare error, but i've seen some folks have success with the -39 in this context using K Chapman's technique from the following post:

    How can I solve the -50 error when downloading video from itunes.   The apple support people cannot even figure it out!??

    The 2330 error often means some sort of damage to the filing system as might happen if the battery fell out while the disk was in use.
    Try running a disk check to see if it finds and fixes any errors.

    Anyone else experiencing this tonite? Is iTunes down for maintenance?
    Thanks!

    I have the same problem downloading the 2nd and 4th Episodes of BattleStar Glactica MiniSeries and Episode 9 of Season 1. For some reason 14 of the 17 episodes downloaded fine and now these 3 are becoming a headache. I sent Apple a messages a while back. I only got a system generated reply. There seems to be dead silence from Apple otherwise. I am very surprised at Apple for not even trying to address this much dissatisfaction. OH WELL, Apple seemed to have a good run for a couple of years. I think its downhill from here.

  • Cant download video podcasts from Itunes

    For some reason I'm having issues downloading video podcasts on itunes although I can download audio podcasts.  I just switched computers and moved my itunes download directory, everything seems to work except Video podcasts.
    I don't get an error, it says done but no download file shows up, it just keeps the icon GET on the right side.

    carlos, I to am having the same issue as you, and it is extremely frustrating!! I can watch the temp file get larger and larger, then once it has finished downloading, it gets removed from the PC! Hopefully someone has an answer.

  • Trouble downloading video podcast

    anybody else having trouble downloading video podcasts of the RNC? The DNC podcasts are downloading fine, but the RNC are not! anybody know why this is?

    Marcia...
    I downloaded your files and I couldn't get them to play either. iTunes won't play them and Quicktime just says it's a file that quicktime doesn't understand. Both files will have to be converted to ipod/itunes compatibility formats and reloaded to your server before they can be viewed.
    There are a list of tech specs available here http://www.apple.com/itunes/podcasts/techspecs.html
    but if you're like me you want the easy solution.
    iSquint is an easy shareware solution to convert files to ipod ready format that can then be loaded to the ITMS. It's found at http://www.isquint.org/
    it's a great program, I use it weekly for my own church.
    Hope this helps.

    Please help. I recently upgraded to IOS 8.2 and i realised
    that all my downloaded videos from itunes have somewhat vanished. I see the
    cloud sign with the downward arrow. However they won’t play, i am being
    required to DOWNLOAD them again. This is both in my iPhone and Ipad. Is there
    any other way to go around this? As I do not want to download a second time,
    that would cost me more money.

    Hello ogojohn,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    The   icon indicates an item that is available for download. This is usually because it has been downloaded previously by the account you are logged in under and will not be charge again for the download. See the following article, while it references iTunes for Mac and not iOS, it is the same.

  • Running itunes 10.6.1.7. did reorg of lib to new struct. reorg left all video podcasts in old folder. I cannot view video podcasts itunes or download. help please.

    I just installed itunes 10.6.1.7. on a new PC connected an external hard drive containing my itunes library and pointed to my library on an external hard drive.
    I also did reorganization of my library structure via "organize library" menu option. The reorg left all video podcasts in the old podcast folder and will not let me copy them to the new podcast folder.
    From the itunes store I cannot select a new video podcast and download and view it in itunes. The podcast will show up but the file or episode has a "GET" button next to it and never shows it as available to view in itunes. I have attempted to download many time with no success.
    I have podcasts that are all video podcasts and some that are mixed audio podcasts and video podcasts. in both cases the video podcasts remained in the original folder location.
    The video podcasts are not in movies or in tv shows. All music is present and accounted for that I know.
    How can I restore all video podcasts previously downloaded and view them on itunes or an ipod?
    Can I create a video podcast option in itunes?
    Please help.

    Issue solved - It turns out that the QuickTime version on my PC was 6.5 and I needed to update to version 7.6 or higher to allow videos to play in iTunes. I updated to QuickTime version 7.7 and then added the old podcast folder to iTunes while in podcasts. This found all video podcast content and then the auto reorg moved all folders to the new podcast directory. For the videos I manually moved earlier, I had to move (not copy) them back to the old directory or folder then add that old folder and they were now in the right directory and viewable in iTunes.

  • ITunes Downloading Video Podcasts - Hangs a few minutes on save

    I have iTunes 8 (but this has been going on in older versions)
    On a Win XP Pro laptop with 2GB Ram, and a 10mb Internet connection.
    When I download new podcasts, the video podcasts download OK, but when each one completes the download and I assume is saving it to iTunes, the iTunes program seems to Hang. I can't do anything in iTunes, the little spinning whell stops, and I have to just sit there for 30 seconds to a min. until it frees up and starts downloading the next podcast. It happens on every video podcast, but not on the audio ones. Anything I can do to fix that? It's anoying.

    Seem to be having a similar issue. Has started just recently so something must have changed although I'm not sure what. Maybe a Windows update has broken something?
    Download any content from the store, it'll appers in the download folder but is never renamed or transfered into the correct sub folder.
    "  iTunes/Downloads/content_name.tmp/download.m4v  "
    Disabled Anti-Virus / Firewall to no effect. Don't think there has been any other system changes that would affet this aside from windows updates.
    Windows 7 64bit SP1 running the same 10.2.2.12 build of iTunes.
