Error -50? Unable to download an album. Please reply

Hi all. I just bough Sonic Firestorm from iTunes (the first one, not the second one, for some reason there are two identical albums in the store), and when it began to download, I got this message:
There was a problem downloading "Fury of the Storm / Sonic Firestorm / Dragonforce". An unknown error occurred (-50)
Please check that the connection to the network is active and try again.
The only thing is that my internet was working fine, then I reset it just to be sure, and got the same message for every song.
If for some reason there isn't anything I can do to download the songs, is there any way to contact iTunes to get a refund?
This problem is on my iBook g4, any and all help is appreciated, and thanks to all that reply!

Hi Kelly,
Got exactly the same problem - of course no support information on that topic available - and the call center people at apple just wanted 50 bucks. Super!!!
I still liked the Webcast.
But do help please!!!

"Unable to download item. Please try again later. "

Hello. After updating to iOS8, whenever i turn off and power my phone, I receive a pop-up "Unable to download item. Please try again later. " at first I thought it was an app gone rogue but in the appstore I did not see anything suspicious. After resetting and restoring my device the pop-up kept appearing. By mistake I discovered that if I open the iBooks app the pop-up appears every time. I hace never bought or downloaded any book from here, ever. Did you encounter this error? do you have any suggestions for Me?
thanks

A few potential possible problems I see (just thinking along all the bases we have to cover so far):
1) It might not be related to iBooks. (I haven't even used iBooks on my new phone and rarely used it on my previous phone.)
2) It might not be related to the U2 album.
3) It might be related to something we have not thought of yet. (About the only thing we all have in common is the problem and that we've either downloaded the U2 album or fiddled with iBooks, but the amount of people who have downloaded the U2 album and/or fiddled with iBooks is huge.)
4) There might not be enough of us experiencing this problem for Apple to even realize it exists.
I guess it must either happen because of the U2 album and/or because of iBooks, and/or something else entirely.
Did I miss anything?

I can't get iOS 6.1.1 on my 4th gen ipod touch. It says "Error. Unable to download iOS 6.1.1" Help?

My iPod 4th Generation does not let me download iOS 6.1.1...
The reason I want 6.1.1 is because I want to download kik and a load of other apps but I need 6.1.1.
The message is "Error. Unable to download iOS 6.1.1" or something, and I have no idea what it means or how to fix it because I know barely anything about the apple software things.
I've read a few things about it and discovered that this issue is common, but I can't get the answer I need, and the other posts about this issue were made like two years ago. I've got enough space, definitely, and last night it was downloading it so I put it on the charger and went to sleep, when I woke up it said "Cannot download. Internet connection is required." something like that. I had no issues last night, but now it's saying it cannot download.
Can someone please help?
I've not updated my ipod for a year or so now, but I'm still not sure why it's not working.
Thanks so much!
PS: I currently have ios 5 point something.

You have to have an internet connection, either wireless or through a computer with iTunes. When you choose Software Update you can only update to the latest version for your iPod Touch, iOS 6.1.6

Error message unable to download item

I Keep getting Error message "unable to download item try again later" on my iPad. I don't know of any item I don't have downloaded. I have the latest iOS 8 installed. On my iTunes purchsed list I have one song with a red square with a white E that I don't know what it means.

I Have the same error message. It all started after I downloaded the U2 album free from iTunes. Seems like I got more than I bargained for! I have done all the ios8 updates, including 8.1, but still getting the message. It makes everything run so slow while my iPad 2 tries in vain to download. Doesn't happen on my work iPad mini where I didn't download the U2 album. So go figure...

Using Bridge CS5 exporting to flickr get error message "Unable to connect to Flickr, please check your internet connection and try again."?

using Bridge CS5 to exporting to flickr, but get error message "Unable to connect to Flickr, please check your internet connection and try again." please help?

I'm experiencing the same problem. Don't think I can help, but maybe I can offer an explanation. It looks as if Flickr has changed their API and Adobe will need to update the export plugin to comply to get it working again. I found this announcement on Flickr:

I cannot download an audiobook via ITunes Store on IPhone. Error reads ''unable to download audiobook"

I cannot download an audiobook via ITunes Store on IPhone. Error reads ''unable to download audiobook"

Once I established a better WIFI connection, I solved this problem. I originally suspected it was an IOS-ITunes capability problem. Despite downloading the audiobook, I wasn't able to access it unless I plugged iPhone into Mac.

Error message, unable to download App Store purchase

Made some purchases on the App Store, all downloaded successfully, but I'm unable to download SnapHeal from MacPhun; I got the message, "There was an error in the iTunes Store. Please try again later."
I tried downloading several times, went to Community Support, closest thread was headed, iTunes Store: "An unknown error occurred (-9808)" My error message did not include a reference number, but I followed instructions about setting the correct date & time and adjusting certificate settings, then restarting. I also repaired disc permissions, zapped the PRAM and restarted my iMac.
I'm still unable to download the purchase.

Thanks Eric, I'll work on the troubleshooting and contact link right now, below your message three other links look very promising:

Error message when buying new apps
Whenever i purchase or download an app on the app store , it always gives me this error message " unable to purchase at this time, please try again later"

TS3992 Okay followed your advice cleared and restored because apps would not download. Restore was successful, however error is "Unable to Download Application" done or retry! So now what?

Okay followed your advice on previous page to reset iPod Touch and restore because apps would not download updates. Restore was successful, however app starts to load goes half way then freezes. Error message is "Unable to Download Application" Done or Retry buttons. Neither one works. So now what? I have several financial apps that I need. Please help! Researched on net and seems to be a common problem.

Welcome to the Apple community.
There seems to be rather more of this type of issue being reported currently, than there normally is, there may well be a problem with the servers. I would be inclined to wait a while, then try again later.

Frequent error message (8248) when downloading songs. Please help!

I am hoping to resolve an issue I keep encountering when trying to download songs from itunes. I frequently receive a message stating "there was a problem downloading the song. An unknow error occured (8248)" However, the song appears in my purchased history and of course I get charged. This has happened often, however occasionally a song will download properly, and we have been able to download applications (games) with no problem. Please help! Thank you.
