Error -50 and 8008

Can someone please help me figure this out? Whenever I download a video file in iTunes I get error -50 or 8008, but usually -50 at least the first error. I tried deleting the files from my computer and downloading them again-doesn't help. I tried clicking check for available downloads 3 times. I tried disabling security software, but I don't see any and I haven't installed anything that didn't come on the MacBook in terms of security. I have a MacBook Pro operating on Lion OS. I have the most updated version of iTunes, etc. Music downloads just fine and when I download movies on my AppleTV on the same wireless network it works fine as well.
When I get these errors, I can click resume download and usually after about 20-30 clicks of resume (because the error pops up again after anywhere from 10 seconds to 5 minutes), I can get the video to completely download. But that's annoying. And there's one file that won't download still. It's driving me crazy and I've done EVERYTHING the Apple support stuff has said to do. Any suggestions?!

-50 is a general communications error which I guess could take place anywhere alsong the line.  I have references to it happening with FAT formatted drives, iDisk, user having two drives with identical names.  Are you trying to download to an external drive?  Whatever, I suggest you try to keep the system as simple as possible to try to narrow down possibilities.  I don't know if anything at Apple's end (or the Internet's) would give the same error message.
Here's one where the ISP had an issue.

    There is nothing wrong with my internet connection.
    Is that a -50 error message, jolyn?
    If so, perhaps try the "Error -50," "-5000," "8003," "8008," or "-42023" section in the Specific Conditions and Alert Messages: (Mac OS X / Windows) section of the following document:

  • I set up family sharing wrong, so i left family sharing and joined the right way agin but an error occurred and now it tells me I'll have to wait 364 days to rejoin again! How can I reset my account so I can use it again?

    WWhen I set up family sharing i did it with me as family organizer, but as my spouse is the organizer I had to leave the "family" I created and join his. But while setting it up an error occurred, and the screen went blank. Now I tried to join his family sharing again, and my phone keeps telling me I can't because accounts can only join families twice a year.
    I Don't really want to wait 364 days from now, is there a way in which I can reset my accoint so I can join family sharing again?
    Apple support doesn't have a solution for me yet!
    KInd regards

    This morning I looked at my family sharing account again an IT WORKS NOW! Think Apple has done a reset to my account, though I'm not exactly sure why! So I hope it works for you guys as well!

    If anyone can help me with this issue I would be most grateful.
    Thank you for any consideration,

    You have a mixture of things going on... AS3 code in an AS2 setting.  Those are all AS2 error messages, and they are indicating you have placed the code on the buttons.  To use that code, it must be placed on the timeline, and your Flash Publish Settings need to have AS3 specified instead of AS2.  AS3 does not allow code to be placed on objects like AS2 does.

  • I have just bought an iPhone 5 and it won't sync to iTunes.  It says it needs  iTunes 10.7, which I have downloaded and installed.  I still get the error message and looking at "about iTunes" it says 10.6.3.  What do I do??

    Perhaps check to see if you're accidentally running two different versions of iTunes. There's some information on troubleshooting that in the Opening iTunes section of the following document:

    Hello AlexCornejo,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    The screen you're seeing on your iPhone indicates it is in recovery mode.  Now since the device is not appearing in iTunes on your PC, first follow the steps in this article:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
    After following those steps, you should be able to restore your iPhone.
    Take care,
    Alex H.

  • ITunes will not open (no error message and not running Norton 2005)

    I have recently upgraded to iTunes 7 and I now cannot get it to open after clicking on the icon. The iTunes.exe process comes up in the task manager briefly then disappears. There is NO accompanying error message and I am NOT running Norton Antivirus 2005. I have already tried reinstalling the standalone version of quicktime and I have used msconfig so that I essentially have only the necessary iTunes/quicktime processes running (no antivirus/antispyware/anti-popup software is running in the background). I have Windows 2000 and I have never had a problem with iTunes until now. Somebody please help me out here.

    wapierce,
    It looks like we have covered all the bases here. Unfortunatly it looks like The computer cannot run iTunes or the OS has an issue that may require a reeinstall.
    Lets verify the Hardware and OS one more time. Click Start> right click My Computer> Properties(you can also open My Computer then click view system information on the left side of the window.) What does the processor and Memory say here? Also what is it saying aout Windows.
    Make sure there are no upadtes available for the computer.
    When you installed iTunes did you make any registry changes? It sounds like the next step would be doing a restore or re-install of Windows on the computer.
