Error -50 trying to update iOS 5, how do I fix it?

One error is fixed, and then I get -50 error saying if I continue everything I have will be erased. How do I fix this?

I have the same problem with an album which I downloaded. I am using iTunes 11.0.1 and the Download dialogue box shows the album twice and when I try to re-start the error message appears.
Most annoyingly the album was downloaded successfully and I can listen to all the tracks.
Mac BookPro OS X 10.8.2

  • I am getting "invalid signature" error when i try updating itunes. How do I fix?

    I received a notice that an update was available for itunes. I went through the installation
    process and then near the end an error message came up telling me that it would not be installed
    because of an invalid signature I tried doing this again only manual this time and the same thing happened.
    I have never had this happen before. What is the problem? How do I fix?
    Thanks, JKay

    Twanger317,
    Have you tried to do a repair install on the pc of iTunes? Also if that does not work i would follow these instructions on removing iTunes and reinstall. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923 for windows vista and 7 and http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925 for windows xp. let me know if that helps.

    Try restarting. If it doesn't promopt you with the power bar to slide it off, then follow the reset directions also listed on that page.

  • Error while trying to update to ios 5

    I keep getting an error while trying to update to iOS 5. I update iTunes this morning to the lastest version so I know that isn't the problem. I have tried restarting both my computer and my phone, but contine getting "The iPhone could not be restore. An unknow error occurred (3194)." PLease help! Thanks in advance

    I am also getting the error 43 when the update tries to back the phone up. Im using the latest version of itunes. This is on an iphone4, I am in the UK.
    I tried deleting all of the historical backups to see if a fresh backup folder helps. It did not.
    Ive tried running iTunes in 'administrator' mode on my Windows 7 machine. This made no difference.
    Ive tried putting the phone in airplane mode. No difference.
    I tried getting it into restore mode just to see if it worked on a iphone4. However it did not seem to want to do it.
    Im not not too sure about proceeding with this update as I done want to loose any of the apps I have. (or 3 my 3 stars in every angry birds level on all 3 versions of the game!!)
    Please someone, HELP !! !!

  • HT201210 keep getting error message when trying to update iOS to 5.1.1

    I have had no trouble updating the several iPads under my charge at work, however can't update my own.  Am using iOS 5.1 currently on original iPad.  I go to settings and it looks for any updates available and I click install to 5.1.1 but keep getting error message saying there was an error when trying to update.  I am on my home wifi on my iPad.  Have done same procedure with about 5 other iPads with no trouble. What can I do?

    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."

  • I'm trying to update iOS 7 and it says I need 3.4 GB of storage to update.. I currently have on my storage 797 MB and 12,6 GB used. How much storage should it write for me to be able to update?

    I'm trying to update iOS 7 and it says I need 3.4 GB of storage to update.. I currently have on my storage 797 MB and 12,6 GB used. How much storage should it write for me to be able to update?

    If your ipad has only 797 MB free and it tells you that you need 3.4 GB to update, then you need to begin deleing files, whatever it takes to free up space.
    Consider...
    Delete apps you don't use.
    Delete videos you don't want (these take up a lot of space).
    Do you have a lot of emails stored on the device?
    Are there apps that store data files, like a PDF reader?  If there are a lot of these, you need to delete some.
    The bottom line is that you need to remove data and/or apps on your device to make more storage available.
    But for videos and photos, always sync them to a computer first to archive them.

  • Just tried to update iOS on iPad 3 and it is totally locked up. How can I restart?

    Tried to update iOS and the iPad is stuck on the Apple logo with the status bar at about 90%. It will not even turn off with the power button. How can I restart it?

    Device Reset (won't affect settings/data/music/apps/etc)
    1. Press and hold (& continue to hold) BOTH the Sleep/Wake button & the Home button.
    2. Continue to hold BOTH (ignoring any other messages that may show) until you see the Apple logo on the screen.
    3. Release BOTH buttons when you see the Apple logo and allow the device to boot normally.

  • I tried to buy this app but it says I need to update iOS 5, how do I do this...?

    I tried to buy the pages app for ipad2 but it says I need to update iOS 5, how do I do this??

    What exactly happens when you try to buy the app ? If you are trying to gift it then you will need a credit card on your account, gifting can't be done via your balance.
    If you are being prompted to review your account then how did you create the account ? Unless the instructions on this page are followed when creating an account : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534
    then credit card details will need to be entered before the account can be used to download any item from the store.
    If you are being prompted to review then you could see if this post by mountaingoatgirl lets you do so without needing to enter credit card details :https://discussions.apple.com/message/24303054
    If you are buying for yourself and it's charging your card then it shouldn't, your balance should be used up first before any remainder is charged to your card. If that is happening then try contacting Support and see if they can help with why its happening : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

  • HT201210 Error when trying to update my ipad

    I got an error when trying to update my ipad saying it could not be updated and gave an error 6.  Has anyone else had this happen and how did you rectify it?

    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

    im trying to update IOS version, have done everything as recommended.  however, it doesnt seem to be working, when i try to buy a tune i am again prompted to update to new IOS version... can anyone offer any advice

    Is this an iPhone or iPad question? You posted in the iPad forum.
    See
    iOS 5: Updating your device to iOS 5

    iOS: How to update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4623
    If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect to your computer & click on the "Update your device using iTunes".
    Tip - You may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily.  Then download and install the iOS update. After you update to iOS 5.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).
