Error -50 when starting iTunes Store

I'm running the newest version of iTunes on a Windows XP machine and iTunes itself seems to work, but evertime I hit the iTunes Store button on the left side I get an error message stating 'We could not complete your iTunes Store request. An unknown error occurred (-50).

Just in case, even though you're running a newer version of iTunes, let's try the following document:
iTunes 9: "One Moment Please" or "Error (-50)" message when accessing iTunes Store

  • Error messages when starting iTunes - 11556 and other. Who may help?

    Hi there,
    When starting iTunes i get to the iTunes U store. Trying to connect to the normal iTunes store, I get the following error message:
    "We could not complete your iTunes store request. The iTunes store is temporarly unavailable"
    This message I get since about one week. Further I tried to sign in and then I get the following message:
    "iTunes could not connect to the iTunes store. An unknown error occured (11556). Make sure your network connection is active and try again."
    Network connection is working. iTunes connectivity diagnostics showed: all tests passed. I am using the latest version of iTunes (9.0.3.15). I tried to reinstall iTunes - did not help.
    I hope, anybody can help me.
    Regards,

    Hey Richard
    After I posted here I realized it was in the Windows/iTunes board. I reposted in the OS X/iTunes board along with the solution.
    I did more searching on Google and found that the store was disabled in parental controls in the iTunes Prefs. Go to iTunes prefs, click on Parental. See if iTunes store is disabled. I unchecked it and am all set. Someone mentioned that when iTunes is updated, this setting is the default.
    Hope this helps.

  • ITunes 10.5 beta: Error -50 when starting iTunes

    Hi all,
    When i try to start iTunes from the dock i always get the error -50.
    I'm also using OSX Lion 10.7 beta.
    I have the same problem with iTunes 10.3, only 10.2 works fine, but i already updated my iPhone to iOS 5 beta, so i'm not able to use 10.2 anymore.
    I've searched a lot of this problem on google and stuff but i only found solutions for this error while downloading a video or something else, but not when starting iTunes.
    Please can someone help me?

  • I keep getting an error message when starting iTunes

    When I start iTunes I get an error message that says "iTunes cannot run because some of its required filles are missing. Please reinstall iTunes" I have uninstalled and reinstalled but still getting the same error message. If I reboot my computer iTunes opens with no problem but if I close iTunes and try reopening it without rebooting I get the error message. I have the most recent version. My OS is Windows XP Pro SP3. Does anyone have an answer that can resolve this issue?

    Hey SDGardella,
    Thanks for the question. I understand that you are receiving error 499 when attempting to download purchases from the iTunes Store. The following resource outlines this error message:

  • Error 13005 when starting itunes... related to Time capsule FirmwareUpdate

    Hi, I store my iTunes library on my Time capsule. Since the firmware update, I have been getting error 13005 every time I try to run iTunes. This thread pointed me over here to see if anyone knew of a reason why:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=9120768&#9120768
    When I create a new iTunes library on ANY other hard drive but Time Capsule, iTunes starts right up, but when I do the same on Time Capsule I get the dreaded error, even when I create a new library in a new folder on it.
    Any ideas?

  • Strange error message when starting ITunes, ITunes doesn't recognise devices for wifi sync

    I have other wifi problems with my IMac running Mountain Lion but this is the most annoying. When I start ITunes it doesn't recognise that I have my IPhone 5 and my IPad 2 sitting connected to the same wifi network and waiting to sync.
    In the Console I get this error exactly when ITunes starts up:

    Google search has explained to me that this is related to Bonjour but nothing further. I have done the 'usual' - booted in safe mode, repaired permissions, updated software, reinstalled Mountain Lion via Disc Recovery, restarted my modem etc.
    Before I just wipe the hard drive and start again from scratch, maybe there's something obvious I'm not doing? Every other device in the house (2 x Iphones, 2 x Ipads, 1 Apple TV, 2 wifi radios and 1 other IMac desktop) have no problems with the wifi network.

    I am having similar issue.  Getting these same 24 error messages everytime I start iTunes. Sharing is already off.

  • I get an error message when starting itunes

    Hi, i'v ehad this problem for a while .. i'm not a computer expert but i do my best. I get an error message when clicking to start iTunes ... can someone help me ! i don't want to lose my songs !

    top fixes are
    - turning off security software before the install as Apple suggests
    - installing QuickTime standalone, not regular
    http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/standalone.html
    - setting up Norton to allow iTunes
    - scanning for malware with ewido (Free at www.ewido.net/en/)
    In your case, if iTunes was working OK for a while and then mysteriously stopped, youve got a virus, I bet. Do the ewido malware scan.

  • ITunes security warning (-9815) when starting iTunes Store. How to solve?

    When I navigate in iTunes to the iTunes store I get a security warning that iTunes cannot verify if the connection is secure (-9815). Does anyone know how to solve this?

    I get the following Application Error message when I try to start iTunes:
    "The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000005). Click on OK to terminate the application."
    I cannot think of anything that has changed on my PC, but something must have. It may be that this is the first time that I tried to open iTunes after rebooting following the upgrade to 7.2, but I certainly was able to open iTunes 7.2 before rebooting.
    Any help or advice on how to resolve this problem would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

  • Error 3253 when using Itunes store

    I keep getting error 3253 when I am trying to download from the itunes store. I have restarted itunes/my computer/my router to try to get this to work, but no dice. Podcasts are downloading fine, the internet is otherwise working fine. I also made sure my itunes was up to date and even reinstalled it just to make sure. Is something wrong with the store? It seems to be the only thing that is giving me issues. Thanks for any help.

    Update: still not working. I thought maybe it was an issue with this certain show (Big Love - Season 2), so I tried buying one episode of Fringe (another show I would like to get into) and the same problem continues. Finally, I bought one song to see if it was a file size/type issue, but nope. Can anyone please help me? This is really irritating... Will they still charge me for these even though I cannot download them?

  • Error -9813 when accessing itunes store

    I get an error message when I try to access itunes store and I can't find any info about this error message -9813?

    All
    I have been having issues connecting to the iTunes store for over a week now , Error code -50 and some error message in spanish , after some messing about i renamed all itunesprefs files to iTunesprefs.old main one located "C:\Documents and Settings\Account name\Local Settings\Application Data". this makes itunes reset all it prefs but does not delete any music or vids . i then restarted itunes and bobs your uncle straight in and working again .
    in summary :
    rename all iTunesprefs files either xml or other
    remane them to .old so you have them if you need to go back
    restart itunes or reboot
    itunes will think your a new user but does not require a re sync
    and should be fixed
    i am not responsible for any errors you create by messing it up.
    it has worked for me on Win xp pro ver9 (latest version) itunes .
    remember error lies between keyboard and seat !!
