Error when downloading videos in iTunes

Been trying to download Gwen Stefani's "Cool" Video for the past hour. When it completely downloads, an error message pops up in iTunes that says
"There was an error downloading your purchases music. An unknown error occured (0xFFFE7958)"
Anyone else experiencing this tonite? Is iTunes down for maintenance?
Thanks!

I have the same problem downloading the 2nd and 4th Episodes of BattleStar Glactica MiniSeries and Episode 9 of Season 1. For some reason 14 of the 17 episodes downloaded fine and now these 3 are becoming a headache. I sent Apple a messages a while back. I only got a system generated reply. There seems to be dead silence from Apple otherwise. I am very surprised at Apple for not even trying to address this much dissatisfaction. OH WELL, Apple seemed to have a good run for a couple of years. I think its downhill from here.

How can I solve the -50 error when downloading video from itunes. The apple support people cannot even figure it out!??

The 2330 error often means some sort of damage to the filing system as might happen if the battery fell out while the disk was in use.
Try running a disk check to see if it finds and fixes any errors.

You have probably downloaded the Norton program which is one of the least desirable helpmates you can invite in.

Error message when downloading video from itunes

It keeps saying that my disk cannot be read or written to. I've already purchased the video (episode of the Office). Does anyone know what I can do to solve this? Thanks.

Easy way. Reset the iPod, then disconnect when you see the Apple logo.
Another way. Hold ctr-alt-del to bring up the Windows Task Manager. Go to the Processes tab and look for iTunesHelper.exe and iPodService.exe. Select them and hit the End Process button. Close the Windows Task Manager Window and try ejecting the iPod via the safely remove hardware method.
If you are still having problems you can try one more thing. Right click on the My Computer icon and select Manage from the list of actions. Go to the Services and Applications item and from there the services item. Double click on the services item to bring up the list of services currently installed on your computer. Look for the iPod Service and double click on it. From the new window select Stop. Now try again to eject using the safely remove hardware option.
Some anti-virus security software (particularly McAfee) can also cause a problem, and if you have this you might want to try turning it off and see if the iPod then ejects correctly.

IPOD Nano experiences error when downloading music from iTunes

To make a long story short, my new Nano wouldn't fully download all songs from my iTunes library. I received an error about a missing file. As I followed the Apple suggestions to fix the problem I eventually got to a point where the Nano was frozen and wouldn't respond to anything. I couldn't even reset it. I took the Nano back and exchanged for another. The exact same thing happened again, which leads me to believe it's not the Nano that is the problem. Any help would be appreciated.

By "download" I assume you mean transferring songs from iTunes to iPod correct?
When the songs are transferring, try to pin down if it's any particular file from your library that's causing this. Watch the status window at the top of iTunes.
It may be a corrupt file from your library that's causing this, and if you can pinpoint which one(s), you can delete them from iTunes and try again.

ITunes6 returns errors when downloading videos

I just downloaded and installed iTunes6. First thing I went and bought the "Weapon Of Choice" video. iTunes completed the transaction, but will not donwload the video.
It returns an error saying "There was an error downloading your purchased music. The disk could not be read from or written to." Originally I though oh my hard drive must be full. But it has +700MB of free space.
I went to the ITMS. and downloaded one of the free music tracks to see if I could get music and it worked. Also iTunes can access and play all of my current music files.
Additionally I looked in the music folder and I can see where iTunes created a new folder called "downloads" and created a new folder with the name of the video as well as two files. So it would seem iTunes can write to the disk it just will not download the videos.

Can you refomat the drive to NTFS? EXT3 I believe is a Linux partition type. I do not see apple ever fixing it. They do not want to support anything out side of platform controled platforms. i.e. Mac and Windows.
I wonder if this error could have something to do with saving the videos to a partition other than the one iTunes is on. But why would it only have the problem with video files then? Oh well.
My solution has been to stop buying from the iTMS for the time being.

TS1424 8387 error when downloading video; tried several times

I am trying to download a music video purchased on itunes and keep getting 8387 error message.

Have you tried temporarily disabling your firewall and anti virus software?
Have you tried using a different computer? Transfer all purchases from the iPad into iTunes on your computer, backup the iPad and sync your iPad with your own iTunes and you can try using another computer to update and then go back to your own computer, restore from the backup and sync with iTunes again in order to restore all of your content.
Have you asked at an Apple Store Genius Bar of they can help you?
Read both of these for more information regarding transferring purchases and backing up your iPad.

Error (-39) downloading video podcast, iTunes 7.2.0.34

I am running iTunes 7.2.0.34 on Vista x86. I can successfully download podcasts, and even some free video movies from the iTunes store.
However, I tried downloading the "Steve Jobs and Bill Gates at D5 Conference" podcasts. The audio one came over fine, and the video version downloaded for an hour or so. later I came back to the machine to find that the video version has an exclamation point next to it in my Podcast library. The error says:
"There was a problem downloading "Steve Jobs and Bill Gates at D5 Conference (Video)". An unknown error occured (-39). Please check that the URL is correct and the connection to the network is active and try again"
If I go back and try to "get episode" from the iTunes store, I see the video go into my download queue, but then it immediately dissappears from the queue. The error remains in my podcast library. I even tried deleting both podcast listings from my podcast library and starting again from scratch (including having it move to recycle bin), but same result. Again, the audio file was downloaded no problem, but the video file disappears from the queue immediately.
Anyone else having this problem?

it's a reasonably rare error, but i've seen some folks have success with the -39 in this context using K Chapman's technique from the following post:

HAD AN ERROR WHEN DOWNLOADING QUICKTIME THIS MORNING NOW ITUNES SAY ITS CLOSED ??? RUNNING VISTA

Found the solution! Hooray!
Noticed a suggestion on this thread:
http://discussions.info.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=11731496#11731496
To look in the ~/Library/iTunes/Mobile\ Backups folder to find the Manifest.plist folder, and delete entries for apps that might be causing the problem.
I remembered that a little while ago, I had started getting an error message while syncing and updated app (Sleepmaker or something- couldn't remember which, precisely, but knew that it was a white noise app). So, I went to the Manifest.plist folder, and removed the entries for the couple different flavors of the Sleepmaker app that I had installed.
Then, reconnected the iPhone, and clicked "Continue Restore" once again when it reported that there had been an interrupted restore. This time, it went through fully! Took quite a while (~1 hr) to copy all my media onto the phone, but now it's all there! Hopefully this will help others who might in the same situation...

I am receiving this error when syncing my ipod: iTunes could not copy "song name" to the iPod "name" because an unknown error occurred (-50). I am using iTunes version 10.6.3.25. Why?

Right click the filename that won't download and selsct 'Get Info'. Look at the file path, does it have a //?// in it? That is a problem with Amazon downloads that prevent iTunes from finding the file. Use 'Add Folder' to add the album to your library and try syncing it again

Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components
If applicable, disconnect any iPod or iOS device and close Microsoft Outlook.
Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later).
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support (see note 1 below)
iCloud (if present)
MobileMe (if present) (see note 2 below)
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot your computer. Delete any of the following folders where they can be found: (see note 3 below)

Download the iTunes setup file and run it to install. Use an account with administrative rights. This can usually be achieved by right-clicking on the downloaded file and selecting Run as... or Run as Administrator. In some cases a combination of Shift or Ctrl keys may be required for the option to show, or it may not be necessary.
If you deleted iCloud and reinstalling iTunes doesn't automatically reinstall it visit iCloud Control Panel.

TS5179 I've been bitten by the "Missing MSVCR.dll file" problem when downloading the latest iTunes update (PC w/ Win-7 & Outlook-2007#. 'Have followed Apple's instructions of un-installing all Apple software, and re-installing it. #out of space...??)

I've been bitten by the "Missing MSVCR.dll file" problem when downloading the latest iTunes update, 11.4.62 (on a PC w/ Win-7 & Outlook-2007#. 'Have followed Apple's instructions of un-installing all Apple software, and re-installing it (Ugh). First result Outlook couldn't find my 1,385 item contact file in iCloud, although the outlook distribution lists were there. Second result, upon installing iCloud again, I have two iCloud contact files shown in outlook - "iCloud" & iCloud, within iCloud". 1,332 & 1,385 contacts respectively.
Plus an iCloud installation error message saying iCloud moved 6,835 files to a "deleted items folder" somewhere. This is NOT fun at 72-yrs old...!!
So, how do I make sure I haven't lost anythying from Outlook?   Russ-AZ

Interesting response, Kappy - Back to original post: "First result: Outlook couldn't find my 1,385 item contact file in iCloud, although the outlook distribution lists were there (therefore, initially I had lost my contact file from Outlook). Second result, upon installing iCloud again, I now have two iCloud contact files shown in Outlook - "iCloud" & iCloud, within iCloud". W/ 1,332 & 1,385 contacts respectively.
Plus an iCloud installation error message saying iCloud moved 6,835 files to a "deleted items folder" somewhere. This is NOT fun at 72-yrs old...!!
So, how do I make sure I haven't lost anythying from Outlook?   Russ-AZ"
You can safely assume that I have tried using it!   So, to make things a little clearer:
     1) I now have two iCloud "contacts files", w/ a different total count. What's the difference? Why the different toatl count?
     2) Since re-installing the Apple software (part of the MSVCR" recovery instructions) "couldn't possible affected Outlook", why am I getting an iCloud installation error message saying iCloud moved 6,835 files to a "deleted items folder" somewhere. What's in those files? And where are they?
Probably more important questions get down to:
     3) Why is a basic Apple product upgrade "screwing-up Outlook"? This iTunes upgrade, failing to install properly forced Outlook 2007 into a 2-min start-up cycle. Which was fixed with this "Goat-Rpdeo" of re-installing MSVCR80.dll.
     4) And under the latest release of iOS-7.0.4 on our iPhones, why is Apple now forcing us to use the iCloud to back-up our contacts, calendars & tasks, vs. allowing these files to be backed-up directly on our PC's via the USB cable?
Thanks again for your interest and comments. - Russ-AZ
