Getting "An Unknown Error occurred (-50).

This has been going on since the last iTunes update but doesn't happen all the time. Just downloaded a TV series and about half the episodes gave me the error and the other where fine. Help! Apple support just sent me a link to a fix that I have tried many times. Cleared TMP files but didn't help, Error came right back.

  • Getting "An unknown error occurred (-50)" when trying to download my purchases

    For the past few weeks I've been getting "An unknown error occurred (-50)" when trying to download my purchases. I've tried downloading from past purchases and by clicking on the cloud symbol on the files in iTunes itself. Same every time.
    I'm using iTunes version 11.3.1(2) running OS 10.9.4.

  • I have an iPad that is stuck in recovery mode.  When I try to restore the firmware, I get an unknown error occured (1611).

    I have an iPad that is stuck in recovery mode.  When I try to restore the firmware, I get an unknown error occured (1611).  Does anybody have a solution for this?

    There is a way to get it recovered from the so called DFU mode. Try to restart the phone while holding the home and power button at the same time. Then try to connect it to iTunes and do the same again. If you try that again till it works you should be able to use your iPhone as before.

  • Getting "An unknown error occurred (502)" while trying to download a TV episode under a season pass

    Any ideas on how to resolve the following error:
    There was a problem downloading “The Bear and the Maiden Fair / Game of Thrones / Game of Thrones”. An unknown error occurred (502).
    Please check that the connection to the network is active and try again.
    This happens on both iMac and PC, but I can still download other purchases at the same time.
    I have been able to download some of the episodes, but seem to get the problem with the new one every week.
    iTunes support have fobbed me off, so any suggestions are welcome ...

    Fingers crossed. But if you still run into trouble, perhaps try the "Error -50," "-5000," "8003," "8008," or "-42023" section in the Specific Conditions and Alert Messages: (Mac OS X / Windows) section of the following document:

  • I cannot print from Firefox, keep getting "an unknown error occurred while printing."

    Whenever I attempt to print something from Firefox (email, receipt, and so on), printing fails and I get the message "an unknown error occurred while printing." Printing from Internet Explorer works without any problem.

    I came across the same problem today, also using a 2600N. Window updated the drivers through a Windows update yesterday, so I suspect that's what caused the problem since it was working fine before.
    I tried the reset in about:config and that didn't do jack, but I was able to solve it by removing the printer with device manager and then disconnecting it from my PC, plugging it back in, and letting Windows reconfigure it automatically. It works now.
    Good luck

    This may indicate a hardware issue with your device. Follow Troubleshooting security software issues, and restore your device on a different known-good computer. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.
    Has the firmware been modified before you updated the iOS? If yes, this error could be a result of a jailbreak.

  • I keep getting an unknown error occurred (-50) when trying to download

    I just bought: episode 1 of season 1 of Lost Girl (Standard Definition).  It offered to start playing it.  When it did it, almost immediately, showed the above error.  Whenever I try to re-download the file, I get the same error.  I have run the network connectivity test and it says everything is fine.

  • Unable to print anything under the Firefox browser. I get "An unknown error occurred while printing" each time I try. What Can I do?

    I can, however, print when using Internet Explorer. I uninstalled Firefox and reinstalled it to see if that would clear up the problem.....it didn't. Not sure what to do now.

    With the latest updates FF 19 BETA and Acrobat X. The new one with the black PDF screen), I'm having difficulty too printing to Adobe PDF. System Win 7 x 64.
    Printing to physical printers not an issue.
    No errors, but (Not Responding either in FF or Acrobat.) Printing to the PDF printer directly sometimes works. Using the work-around fast enough, it seems to always work.
    I found a work-around:
    Goto Print Preview
    Select Print
    Type in your file name
    IMMEDIATELY press OK and Minimize Firefox.
    All of the progress boxes/windows are getting confused otherwise. With FF opened as a normal page, there are too many different progress boxes.
    Acrobat has one, the windows print driver has one, FF seems to have one and they all can't be on top.
    They will if FF is minimized.
    Incidentally if FF is killed, the "Creating Adobe PDF" shows its face from being hidden.
    I did reset Firefox.
    This is seriously messed up now. It used to work fine until the last round of updates from M$, Adobe and FF.
