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?

    It seems Adobe CHAT is non-existent.  Can anyone help?

    The chat link can be elusive as can the people that support it over the weekend.  It does work, at least for most people, but not all.
    Chat support - For the link below click the Still Need Help? option in the blue area at the bottom and choose the chat option...
    Make sure you are logged in to the Adobe site, have cookies enabled, clear your cookie cache.  If it fails to connect try using a different browser.

  • I get an error code 50 when downloading digital movie. How can I fix this issue?

    I get an error code 50 when downloading digital copy of a movie to my iTunes. I try to restart and still get the smae error code. I have my PC plugged directly into my modem and still get error, when trying to download failed movies. I have 5 failed downloads. How can I fix this issue?

  • 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?

    Changing my DNS settings worked for me (3253 errors on my MBP). I followed the instructions here:

  • 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 8450 when download app use paypal for unipay debit card in China

    I tried both desktop or smartphone when i buy speed limit alarm for 0.75$, there is a valid preproved payment  at my paypal account, of course my us account deposite is 0 ,for  i use a debit card for payment. 
    i have learned that paypal said he will automatically exchange RMB to US$, so i think this does not a matter.
    what is the truth i met? I am a computer engineer, in China, if I can't successful buy and download a rim app, I don't think most of others can do . 
    if rim can't move the barrier for his custom  in sales, how can rim get to live? must i hop betwen rim and paypal to settle this problem by myself?  caution this bug hurt your bussiness.
    i'm a little sad that i can only search one related topic about the error code 8450, but that does no effect. and i tried find a help phone in china for support but faild.
    RIM is downing? I don't hope so, I love my 8310 very much!

    Do you have enough funds in your bank account?
    otherwise iTunes sometimes black lists card if there are too many fradulent purchases
    Reason why they might black list a card is possibly you call in for alot of fradulent purchases
    One more reason can be because iTunes does actually limit the amount you can change payment methods
    Call AppleCare Phone support and have your call directed to iTunes Store

  • 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:

    "Error -50," "-5000," "8003," "8008," or "-42023"
    These alerts occur due to timeouts or conflicts trying to write a file during download.
    If you encounter this issue while accessing iTunes Store:
    See iTunes 9: "One Moment Please" or "Error (-50)" message when accessing iTunes Store
    If you encounter this issue while while downloading something from the iTunes Store:
    Delete your iTunes Downloads folder, located in:
    Mac OS X:
 ~/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/Downloads Note: "iTunes Media" may appear as "iTunes Music. Also, the tilde (~) refers to your Home directory.

    Windows Vista:
 \Users\username\Music\iTunes\iTunes Media\Downloads\

    Windows 7:
 \Users\username\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Media\Downloads\


    Windows XP:

    Quit iTunes.
    Delete the Downloads folder on your computer.
    Open iTunes.

    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.
