Error Code (-50) when downloading from iTunes

Im curious to know if anyone else has received this type of error message before?
I have never had any problems downloading season pass stuff from iTunes so this is the first time I've ever seen this. Ive double and triple checked all of my connections and everything is good. Speed test came back strong and fast so Im wondering if this is more of an apple issue.

May be this article can be of some help:

These alerts occur due to timeouts or conflicts trying to write a file during download.

If you encounter this issue while while downloading Digital Copies using Windows:
Use MSCONFIG (directions for Windows XP and Windows Vista/Windows 7) to disable conflicting software.
If using MSCONFIG steps resolves the issue, you may want to use the System Configuration Utility to turn on the third-party System Services and Startup Items one at a time (restarting your computer after turning on the item or items) to identify which System Service or Startup Item is causing the conflict.
You can turn all of them back on by selecting the Normal Startup option under the General tab of the System Configuration Utility window, but please note that this may cause the issue to reoccur.
If you are able to isolate the issue to a particular third-party software, you may wish to contact them to let them know of the conflict.

What is error code 5105 when downloading free apps?

what is error code 5105 when downloading free apps?

That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
Vista instructions in the following document: Check your hard disk for errors
Windows 7 instructions in the following document: How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)
Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards?

When downloading from itunes I am receiving an Unable to connect error -1202. I have contacted Itunes

I am unable to download from Itunes as receiving message - unable to contact Itunes store Error code -1202. Have had lengthy conversation with Itunes support but unable to resolve. Have uninstalled and reinstalled Itunes twice following exactly instructions provided. Anyu suggestions to resolve?

Maybe this will help. If you are running 10.9 you can access your use library by going to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J. When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder.

Error code -50 when downloading music

I keep getting an error code -50 when I download music..it happens sporatically, about every third song I attempt to download. I have sent endless emails to suport..and no one has an answer--i've done the diagnostics and sent them to support--disabled my antivirus before downloading..Ive tried the check for purchases..nothing! the songs download to the point of "processing" then the error code pops up--I close iTunes and they just dissapear.the only thing on the hard drive I have ever found is files that will say "download" the do nothing if I import them to iTunes.Frankly, Im tired of losing music I wanted and can't re-download (as you can only download a song once-and even though its missing,it still shows in the purchase history)-I never have this problem if I get music from amazon.com. any ideas as to what causes this or how to fix it?

Error Code -5000 When Downloading Digital Copy of Hangover

Has anyone received error code -5000 when trying to download the digital copy of The Hangover from the Special Edition DVD? When you put the DVD in it brings up the code redemption window in Itunes and downloads the file then at the end it says error -5000. Any ideas?

I just figured my problem out. If you have a external hard drive (WD Smartware) you need to click the backup tab and pause backup before you enter your redemption code. This worked for me and I was getting the same error -5000. I think it gives the error because it is backing up your computer and itunes thinks your making more than one copy I guess.

Error code 50 when copying from TC to external HDD

Hi all, I bought a 3tb TC and backed up about 1.3tb worth of data onto it from an external HDD, I then formatted the external HDD to FAT 32 as I found out that TC does not like to work with FAT 32, no matter, the hard drive ois fixed now. However, when I go to copy all the data back onto the external HDD. i get "an unnexcpected error occured error code -50" or something like that, but the error code is definetly 50. I got this error when trying to copy the movies through, they are MKV files, I checked all the names and I dont think there are any problems with them.
the setup so far is as follows. Externall HDD --USB--> Time capsule. All operations are being executed through an imac.
HELP ASAP will be greatly appreciated.
Cheers

Error codes are really hard to figure out.. but i think it will be due to permissions.
See http://pondini.org/TM/C10.html
It is an error from TM but I think it comes from underlying OS..
Can you copy files to this disk from a source other than the TC.. try copying a file from the TC to the Mac and then from Mac to the external disk.. but make sure it is plugged directly into the mac.. if you have issues look carefully at permission. And format/partition type.. do use GUID partition not MBR Or the older Apple systems.

TS3694 error -39 leads to error -50 when downloading from itunes store and the download will not resume

I download a TV Show from itunes and usually as soon as it begins, it tells me that my TV Show is ready to watch and I can choose to "Play TV Show Now" or "Watch Later." I choose Play TV Show Now. Then after about 20 seconds of watching, and error message comes up with the error code -39. The download stopped and when I resume, it will download for 5 more seconds but then I get another error message with the code -50. I click the Resume button and it won't resume no matter how many times I click it. So I have to go to Music, iTunes, iTunes Media, Downloads, and delete the folder with the name of the TV Show that wouldn't work. Then i open iTunes again and Check for Downloads and it starts over downloading.
The errors only occur when I start playing the TV Show while its downloading. Its fine if I let it download.
How do I fix the errors?

That's not the issue (waiting for the download to complete). The issue is that the download never ever completes. The Computer says "Hey, you can watch your show," but then just a few moments have downloaded, and you get a "-50" error.
The published solution for the -50 error is to navigate to the wack place that itunes has decided to store your download (if you can find it) and delete the partial file and try again.
I have "tried again" 5 times now. It's not working.
