Error -50         I have contacted iTunes but cannot resolve the issue

I have tried downloading four different songs but every time error message 50 pops up and I cannot get any song to download even after iTunes help. If you have resolved this issue please let me know how to solve the issue.

Some other posts seem to indicate that the cause is related to voice memos.  You may want to try the remedy described in this document

although it says it's for the 6th gen iPod nano.

  • I corrupted the firefox profile file using profile manager and firefox thinks it is still running and asks me to close but there is no instance of it running...I have tried several re-installs but cannot resolve the problem....

    .........I have deleted the .ini file associated with the profile file and the profile file itself...have tried to locate the "lock" file but cannot find the file in the specified path on the support forum for this problem....I believe there is a file mounted in another directory somewhere that firefox is seeing....I would really like to be able to use firefox as the default browser on this new linux (ubuntu) install...it was working prior to my trying to import my profile from the windows partition.....

  • I am trying to download iTunes, but cannot save the file because the thank you page comes up right away.

    I am trying to download itunes 11.1.3. 
    I cannot save the file,ItunesSetup.exe. 
    I click on Save File and nothing happens, I use XP.  The thank you page comes up right away

    I'd first try downloading an installer from the Apple website using a different web browser:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    If you use Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa), do you get a working installer?

  • I can see the thumbnail in "my videos" on iTunes, but cannot locate the file - what gives?

    I'm using the latest version of iTunes on my Mac (OS X 10.9.5) - I can see the thumbnail of the video I want to play in iTunes, my videos, but it won't play because "original file could not be found".  What gives?  I never delete anything, backing everything up to my Mac and an external drive.  It's my sister-in-laws wedding video(s) - I'm a dead man if I can't find them.  Thanks!  I think I took the videos a few years back with a BlackBerry, if that matters.

    Hi Fun Johnny,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand that you are unable to play videos because of an alert notifying you that the original files cannot be found. In this situation, I would recommend working through the suggested steps in the attached article to try and locate these files.

  • I Have two monitors but cannot get the right configuration

    My main monitor (apple cinema display) is located in front of me and have a monitor to the left (a Samsung). The problem is getting to Samsung to behave as it is located to the left of the main display when I move the cursor. I have to go through the right of the main display to get to it. I have tried changing settings in the Nvidia panel, but there is not way to re-arrange the monitors as you can in OSX.
    I have a Macpro with win7 installed in a bootcamp partition.
    Thanks

    Windows does allow arranging displays right or left. See here to get you started.

    Let's try a standalone Apple Mobile Device Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of why it's not installing under normal conditions.
    Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
    http://www.rarlab.com/
    Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
    Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi (or AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi) to do a standalone AMDS install.
    (If it offers you the choice to remove or repair, choose "Remove", and if the uninstall goes through successfully, see if you can reinstall by doubleclicking the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi again.)
    Does it install (or uninstall and then reinstall) properly for you? If so, can you get a normal iTunes install to go through properly now?
    If instead you get an error message during the install (or uninstall), let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

  • I have downloaded firefox but cannot get tv thru Sol Times newspaper, what can I do

    I want to watch UK tv via Sol Times Newspaper.
    I have downloaded firefox but cannot download the Add-Ons that I have to download so that I can view UK TV. What can I do???
    Sadly I am not computer literate and need your help. Many thanks.

    You mentioned in a different thread that you cannot download Flash without deleting Internet Explorer. That should not be necessary. Anyway, your "More System Details" shows that you have Flash 12 installed, so you shouldn't need to reinstall it unless we determine that it is really broken.
    When on the problem site, do you see a notification icon to the left of the address, up in the address bar? It would look like a piece of Lego. Could you click that and see whether it indicates anything about the status of Flash, or any other plugin?

    I'd start with the following document, with one modification. At step 12 after typing GEARAspiWDM press the Enter/Return key once prior to clicking OK. (Pressing Return adds a carriage return in the field and is important.)

    Hi, Kenny. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    There are a couple things that I would recommend trying.  Try closing all open applications and power cycle the device.  Next, go through the section labeled Troubleshoot issues on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch in the second article below.  If the issue persists, try completely signing out of the iTunes Store on the iOS device and sign back in.  Be sure to test downloading an application after each step.

  • I have 3 songs that will not download and the volume of error messages from Itunes about these "3" is annoying. I know my way around Itunes but cannot find a way to delete them and stop these Itunes download error messages.

    Thank you.

    Thanks Mohammad - much appreciated.
    I also got a response from Apple who said that there was a problem related to fonts and the encryption.xml file
    Once we'd removed this we were able to upload the epub no problem.
    It's odd that the system seems to say that all is okay when it isn't. We have to rely on guesswork rather a lot using iBook Producer.
    Anyway, all sorted now and thank you again for your contribution.
    Best wishes and a Happy New Year!
