Error -39 When Trying to Watch a Film That Is Still Downloading?

I keep getting this and it's really starting to annoy me now.
The title is pretty self explanitory.
After I dismiss the error -39 window and resume the download a few minutes later I'll get error -50 and have to re-open iTunes and re-start the download for it to continue.
Absolutely ridiculous.
EDIT: And yes I make sure the film is at least half-downloaded before I start watching it.
EDIT2: Apparently it has something to do with deleting temporary files in the download folder. But this means I have to stop the download, delete the temp file, and download the film from scratch. Therefore making the ability to watch a film whilst it's downloading completley useless.

Hi DEAF,<br/>
Sorry you are having problems, hopefully this may be something fairy simple to fix.
Possibly something has gone wrong with your downloads settings, or maybe more likely it is something to do with security related software that you are using.
*Do other things download ok ? or is it only add-ons you have problems with ?
** As a simple quick test download one of the avatars aside. They are very small image files and should download very quickly. Does it download, and can you find and view it ?
* see also [[What to do if you can't download or save files]]
Please post back saying what does and does not download, whether you have read and tried any of the suggestions in the linked article, and what security related software you are using.

  • When I start my computer I get a "AppleSyncNotifier.exe Entry Point Not Found message.  I also get an error message when trying to sync with iTunes that a backup session cannot be started.  How do I fix this?

    In the last few days when I start my computer, I get a box that opens with "AppleSyncNotifier.exe" Entry Point Not Found in the title.
    It says:  "The procedure entry point sqlite3_wal_checkpoint could not be located in the dynamic link library SQlite3.dll.
    I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes and still get an error message when trying to sync my phone with iTunes
    "iTunes could not back up iPhone ####, because a session could not be started with the iPhone."
    The last time I tried to sync my phone (iPhone 3G S) with iTunes, everything seemed to freeze up at Stage 4 of the sync process. 
    Any advice????

    With Windows Explorer, navigate to your C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support folder.
    Copy the SQLite3.dll that you should find there, navigate to the nearby Mobile Device Support folder, and Paste it in there also.
    Reboot and see if all is well
    In case that your OS is Windows 7 (64 bit)
    1. Open windows explorer, go to location C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
    2. Copy file "SQLite3.dll"
    3. Open new windows explorer, to to location C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support
    4. Paste file "SQLite3.dll" to the location.
    5. Reboot your computer, it should not display that message, it should be clear.
    Good Luck

  • Error 404 when trying to watch Macworld's Keynote 2009

    Hi guys,
    I was trying to watch the '09 Keynote Address from Apple's site on both IE and Safari. On IE, I can enter the site (http://events.apple.com.edgesuite.net/0901ouabdcaw/event/index.html) but right after it goes to a page not found (http 404 error).
    When accessing via Safari, I can enter to the page, Quicktime opens but then, a message of "Bad Request" appears.
    Any thoughts on how to solve this?
    Regards,

    Ditto for me... Unsupported media type trying to view standard keynote on mac 10.4.11 with QT Pro v7.5.5 and the HD version is super choppy, broken up as mentioned before.. constantly stops, real bad.. and I have a fast internet connection, so speed isnt issue there... tried IE, Firefox, Safari, all same problem.
    Yet COULD watch the standard version or HD version keynote on a PC on same internet connection with QT (non-pro)7.5.5 (win XP 32 bit Home)
    So hope the solution to this is not buy a PC and not use Pro QT... haha but seems to be the solution for me.

  • Error 3001 when trying to watch a rented movie

    I've rented my first movie off iTunes Movie Rentals (Fantastic 4 - Silver Surfer). The file downloaded fine, but at the end of the download it shows error 3001 (There was a problem, etc.) but gives no specifics.
    I tried it on my MacBook Pro and my girlfriend's Dell, both running the latest version of iTunes, but I get the same error when trying to play the movie, or when I click "Resume Download" (although it looks like the movie had downloaded already).
    Any tips on how to fix this? I was looking forward to watching this with her tonight.
    Not a good first-time experience with this rental thing I must say

    I am getting the same error ("3001") when downloading - not watching. At first I was getting err = 8008. 8008 would happen about 1/3 through the download process. Download would freeze, and issue iTunes would alert an err = 8008. After contacting Apple, they claim to have reloaded the movie and instructed me to try again by:
    1. Delete my /User/iTunes/Music/Download folder
    2. Check for Downloads
    After several attempts, the download process finally proceeded past the original freeze point. Download is now 99.9% complete, but now crashes and issues a pop-up alert "We could not complete your iTunes Store request. An unknown error occurred (3001). There was an unknown error in the iTunes Store. Please try again later."
    1.6G of 1.7G has downloaded. When I try to "play" the existing file, I am presented with another 3001 error pop-up.
    Grrr....

  • Error (-12894) when trying to watch a rented movie

    Rented catching fire on ipad to stream to Apple TV, since appletv was being stupid asking me to keep verifying my payment info. Downloaded and processed, and when I click watch the iTunes Store app either crashes or gives me the unknown error with that number. I was charged for the movie. Fun stuff.

  • Getting error message when trying to watch a movie on my iPad

    I purchased a movie through iTunes for my iPad. I was able to watch the movie a few times now I'm getting a error message every time I try and watch it now, "you do not have permission to access the requested resource". What can be do to fix this problem?

    Is the movie a movie downloaded from iTunes? The iPad can only play certain movie files. Where have you downloaded the movie from? Some DVDs or other files from other internet sources may not work with the iPad.

  • Error Message when trying to watch shared video files thru the 'Video' app, via iTunes

    Since updating my iPad 2 to the new operating system, I can no longer watch shared videos from iTunes. I am getting the error "you do not have permission to access the requested resource.". I have restarted the ipad, turned home sharing off and on, reset the network... any ideas on how to get past this issue?

    Unfortunately, I don't think any of those solutions will work. The video won't play on my computer either, but I think that's because I don't have Quicken, or whatever is needed to watch videos from iTunes. Maybe that's what I need to do? Download the appropriate software to play the video on my computer?

  • Error code 1003 when trying to watch a movie that has been purchased?

    I just purchased a movie from iTunes but when I try to play or download the movie I get an error stating "Unable to check for available downloads. An unknown error occurred (1003)."  Any suggestions?

    MB-
    As far as I can tell, Error Code 36 is an "I/O Error".  It may mean you have a bad USB cable between the iPad and your computer, or the cable was not plugged in firmly.
    See if this helps with your Restore:  <iOS:  Unable to Update or Restore>.
