Error messages everytime itunes tries to download purchased music

We got a new computer recently, and on our old computer I believe we had itunes 5, and we had a 30 gb 5th gen that we downloaded purchased music onto. we can only get dial up connection where we live, and we never had an issue downloading, it just took awhile.
Now that we have our new computer, we also added an 80gb to the newer itunes (7?) we put on the new computer. I have purchased 3 songs, and everytime i try to download them, it says the network connection has timed out, or to check the network connection, etc. Not even a snippet of the song gets downloaded. It pretty much immediately goes to the error message.
Is itunes 7 set up to only be used with a broadband connection to download? Our internet connection is never the issue. Its pretty irritating to have songs ive purchased and not be able to put them on our ipods.
Any help would be appreciated, as im not too computer literate, and i cant figure this out.

I get error message -42408 when trying to download itunes update 11.0.2 and I therefore can not update to that latest version. What can I do?

Hey there davidgor2!
I have found an article that should help you resolve this issue with updating your iTunes. The article can be found here:
iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3297
and the specific part of the article you will want to look at first is right here:
"Error 42023" through "Error 42408"
These alerts might occur when trying to authorize iTunes or during launch when iTunes checks for authorization information.
Install the latest iTunes from apple.com/itunes/download/
Remove the SC Info folder.
If that does not resolve the issue, see iTunes: "Error 42408" or "Error 42404" after upgrading to iTunes 9.0.3.
Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!
Regards,
Braden

I get this message when I try to download purchased music, never seen it before, never had a problem before.
"you do not have enough access privelages for this operation"
This computer is authorized, auoto download is enabled and I can download on my ipad without a problem.
Any ideas what might be going on?

Hi jimbowby,
If you are getting this error message just when attempting to download previously purchased music (new purchases work fine), and it's only occuring on the computer (redownloads on the iPad work fine), it may be a permissions issue. It may be worth taking a look at the Resolution section of the following article, which covers other issues that can throw that same error message: Trouble adding music to iTunes library or importing audio CD Hope that helps.
Cheers,

HT201272 Keep getting error #499 when trying to download a song from an album I purchased that failed to download. Error message appears when trying to download from iTunes and the cloud. Re-starting the computer did not help.

I downloaded an album I purhcased a few days ago but one of the album's songs did not download. I received an error message, #499, for which I can get no explanation or interpretation of what error #499 even is (other than generic terms). All my efforts to re-start the download have failed. I've tried several times to download the file to no avail, tried the cloud service to no avail, and re-started the computer to no avail.
My main intention is to, of course, get the download completed. My secondary intention is to, hopefully, bring to the attention of Apple - iTunes staff, the grossly inadequate, dare I say cryptic, error message descriptions iTunes displays.
I can provide the purchase receipt number if it is required.

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:
iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3297
"Error 499"
This alert occurs due to security software. Follow iTunes for Windows: Troubleshooting security software issues.

Error code 313, can't re-download purchased music, weird noise when clicking any link in itunes

So I just transfered my music from one computer to another using a external hard drive. When I went to the store I noticed a "swiping" sound (the sound you would hear when wiping glass basically) when ever I clicked any of the buttons in the store. Music, books, purchased...and it's only in iTunes. When I try to re-download songs from the purchased section it takes forever to load then says error code 3131. I tried downloading the newest version of itunes and then restarting my computer but neither helped.
I have a toshiba satellite that runs Windows 8.
Please help me!

FWIW, my problem downloading previously purchased music from iCloud appears to be resolved. To clarify my issue, and also to differentiate it from similar issues:
My error code was not 3131; “(3131)” appears at the end of the error message that was popping up when I tried to access purchased music. An Express Lane tech verified that I was receiving error 3259 (although this didn’t appear on-screen).
I have two machines but only one Apple ID, have not yet installed Lion, and purchased all of my music by individual song (no albums).
What I did:
Boot in Safe Mode
Ran Disk Utility
Installed latest version of iTunes (10.4)
Re-booted in Safe Mode (which disables anti-virus software and other utilities such as Little Snitch)
Turned off Firewall temporarily
Launched iTunes
When I launched iTunes in Safe Mode, my Purchased items did show up and I was able to download several songs. I rebooted in normal mode, turned Firewall back on and re-enabled Sophos Anti-Virus, Little Snitch, and the adware/malware programs I usually run; I’m still able to see and download my Purchased music (as well as apps and books).
I don’t know what really “fixed” the problem, but the Express Lane tech suggested that firewalls, web accelerators, ad filters or virus protection software might be involved. Express Lane wasn’t very “Express;” it took a week and a half and several complaints to get things moving.

Error (-50) When Trying To Download Purchased Music

Hello -
I recently upgraded to iTunes 7.0.1. Since then, I cannot download purchased music. I get the following error message:
There was a problem downloading X (name of song). An unknown eror occurred (-50).
I have never had problems downloading purhcased music before. Is there a known bug/issue with 7.0.1?
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

I am having the SAME PROBLEM and it's driving me NUTS! I couldn't find an answer here so I emailed iTunes support. Here is what they said:
The error you describe may be caused by the presence of web
acceleration or firewall software. While the iTunes Store is unable to provide
technical support, I can recommend that you either test your connection to
the iTunes Store without the presence of this software or configure
your system to allow access to the iTunes Store's address.
However, I'm not sure that is my problem because my computer is new, (I have a macbook), I haven't downloaded any kind of software other than software updates from apple, I use safari, and my roommate has no problem d-loading onto her computer. Also, the album I purchased comes with an interactive booklet and that downloads without a problem. So, I don't know. I just emailed them again and I'll respond to this thread if I get a solution. Otherwise, please let me know if you figure it out!

I get an error message everytime I try and download Itunes

I get the following error message every time I try and download ITunes to my Dell Inspiron 1545 laptop, with Windows Vista 32 bit:
Anerror occurred during the installation of assembly “Microsoft.VC80.CRT,version=”8.0.50727.4053,” type=”win32,” publicKey Token=”1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b,”process or Architecture=”x86.” Pleaserefer to Help and Support for more information. HRESULT: 0x80070002.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to download ITuens successfully?

Today, April 19, 2011
Okay ... not likely to be a Windows Update issue that has just recently come on, then.
The 80070002 errors acn be associated with damaged files or missing permissions, and conceivably software interference too. So let's throw a bunch of basic principles troubleshooting procedures along those lines at the problem.
First, I'd try running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive, or whichever drive you install your program files on.
There's Vista instructions in the following document.
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-vista/Check-your-hard-disk-fo r-errors
Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors. You'll probably need to schedule the scan to run on restart. The disk check should take quite a while to run (if you're running it on the C). If it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
After that completes, download a fresh copy of iTunesSetup.exe from the Apple Website and save it to your hard drive. (Don't run the install on line, and don't start the install just yet.)
Restart the PC. After the PC restarts, do not open any applications. Disconnect from the internet and/or your network. Now disable all your security software (firewall, antivirus, antispyware).
Now start the iTunes install by right-clicking the iTunesSetup.exe and selecting "Run as administrator".
(Reenable all security software prior to reconnecting to the internet and/or your network.)
Any better luck with the install that time?

Error message when iTunes tries to start.

Whenever I try to start iTunes I get a send error report message. iTunes was working fine until I had to do a system restore, and then this problem started cropping up. I've tried reinstalling several times, and it doesn't seem to work.

Itunes has encountered a problem and needs to close
the first thing that i check for when people report getting that message when they try to launch their itunes is a broken QuickTime.
try to open your QuickTime. does it launch properly, or do you get an error message?
if you get an error message, the first thing we'll try is a careful standalone QT 7.1 reinstall.
download and save a copy of the QT 7.1 standalone installer to your hard drive. (we'll run the install from there rather than online.) switch off antivirus and antispyware applications prior to the install.
Quicktime 7.1 Standalone Installer
if that install goes through okay, does your itunes launch properly again?
(if you get an error message on the QT standalone reinstall, let us know what it says. include error message numbers if you're getting any.)

My answer to Error Message 2038 when trying to download library books to ADE/NOOK

I found my solution! I previously posted a "Help" on the forum because I could not get my public library books to download to ADE. I kept getting an error message #2038 stating to check my network connectivity. Well, not being a techie, I didn't even know what that meant....and the search began. After MANY excrutiating hours, I found the simple answer for my particular trouble.
First, please indulge me why I whine.... I checked my firewall by funbling my way through my computer and trying to download to ADE without it being turned on, not my problem. My virus protection, not the problem. I copy and pasted folders as suggested in some forums and totally messed them all up. I had to delete them from my PC and have Nook help me reset my nook to factory settings and reauthorize my Nook. What a MESS! I uninstalled and reinstalled ADE checking out my ID, etc. I spoke with the public library and tried their solutions....nada. I TRIED to speak with ADE but they informed me Digital Editions is a free software so I couldn't even PAY a techie to speak to me and had to use these forums. Nook advised me that the problem was not Nook related and they were NOOK TECHIES not computer techies so maybe I should check with ADE. ON AND ON around the merry go round.
Finally, here was my problem and answer. I did not know what a "proxy" was. I kept being told to check my "proxie server". I don't know if this will work for anyone else but here was my simple answer. I have a satellite internet service provider. I called them, and although they told me this was not within their scope of service, they helped me. I went onto Internet Exployer, I clicked on Tools. I clicked on Internet Options, I clicked on the connections tab, I click on the LAN settings and there was a number in my "proxy server" box. I recognized this number as being the same number listed for my satellite provider (Hughes Net). I called them and told them my problem and asked if that number SHOULD be in my proxy box. They had me delte the number and click on "automatically detect settings" instead. They then had me make sure my internet could still surf the internet correctly by having me go into "graphi-heavy" sites like Facebook.com and CNN.com. My internet worked great as ever. I then went to the public library web site and checked out a book. ADE came up and instantly downloaded the book. I was able to drag and drop the book to my Nook icon and it appeared in my Nook. I can now check out free public library books, which is the whole reason WHY I purchased the Nook and not the Kindle!!!!
I was told this proxy setting was not "wrong" just speaking a language that ADE could not translate....so to speak.
Yeah!!!!!! I hope if anyone else has this problem, you will find this posting to be your easy answer......because it has not been easy to find this information out. There is noone out there to help you but these forums!!!! The one fall-back to the NOOK is that they are NOT prepared to help you resolve any compatibility problems. THEY ONLY KNOW HOW TO OPERATE THE NOOK, they aren't computer Techies. NOOK is great, but if they want to be #1 they are going to have to beef up their Support Network with qualified computer/Nook techies.

Hooray!!!

Error message in iTunes app when downloading movies

I have this error in the iTunes app that whenever I try and restart a download it seems to not download the file properly and gives me the wrong amount of time it will take to download the movie to my phone and then fails to download the movies saying, "Download error. Tap to retry". I have tried "tapping to retry" several times and over and over again I get the same error every time I "tap to retry". It's stopping me downloading any movies now and now these files are stuck on my phone partially downloaded and unable to be finished, it's like their stuck in the ether of suspended animation and there isn't much I can do because I can't remove these partially downloaded movies off my phone, even when I connect my phone to iTunes for windows 7 they don't show up as existing on the phone, it is as if I never downloaded them in the first place and I can't download these movies from the desktop either because the "buy/rent" buttons are shaded out stopping me downloading these movies. As you can see I am stuck in a bit of a quandry.

My computer was unauthorized to view/hear anything purchased from iTunes. I was able to fix the problem. Thanks!
