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:

  • 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 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.

  • An unknown error occurred (-1) while trying to restore Ipad 3 new

    Happy iPad users, I may need some help from you please.
    I’ve got a problem with my iPad new 32 GB WiFi + 4G LTE.
    I bought it just recently in China and was using it for nearly one month without any issues.
    Then at some point i started getting synchronization problems with iTunes and applications that I have downloaded did not run properly or simply won’t start on my iPad. Then I’ve lost cellular signal.
    Trying to resolve the issues I had to reset iPad to factory settings and after that I could not register it with apple. I tried many times with no success.
    Then I went through some internet articles and decided to restore my iPad and finally I’ve got my almost new iPad stuck is restore mode!!!
    I cannot get it out of restore mode and I cannot get it restored.
    When I try to restore it I get the following message:the ipad "ipad" cannot be restored. An unknown error occurred (-1)the ipad "ipad" cannot be restored. An unknown error occurred (-1)
    The ipad "ipad" cannot be restored. An unknown error occurred (-1)
    Here are the things I’ve done so far trying to restore it
    Tried to restore in on Windows XP – no luck, same message
    Tried to restore it on Windows 7 – no luck, same message
    Tried to restore it on MacBook – NO LUCK, SAME MESSAGE
    Tried to use recovery fix option on redsn0w. Did not help. I tried different versions of this program with no success. Maximum what I had is my iPad was entering “white apple mode” after clicking fix restore button.
    Tried to restore iPad from DFU mode both on Windows XP and Windows 7, no luck, same message (error -1)
    I suspect that my iPad may have a hardware issue however I still hope it can be fixed with your help.
    We don’t have an official apple support centers where I leave and I would like to try all the options before I send it to abroad apple support center or to a shop where I bought it.
    Please can anybody help me with advice on how to fix my iPad?
    Thank you all in advance.

    I am facing the same issue, have you had luck getting it solved?

  • I keep getting "Unknown error occurred 21" while trying to restore

    My iphone 4 will not turn on after being dropped. It wants to restore, I can connect to itunes and it detects my phone but at the end of the process after a minute of itunes saying "preparing iphone for restore" the phone goes back to the apple screen, disconnects from itunes and the error message pops up. Phone goes back to the itunes "plug in" screen. I have tried everything suggested on here, even had the battery removed and replaced because I saw on here that helped some people. I could pay for a new battery but if that doesn't work I have wasted my money. Any ideas?

    Error 20, 21, 23, 26, 28, 29, 34, 36, 37, 40
    These errors typically occur when security software interferes with the restore and update process. FollowTroubleshooting security software issues to resolve this issue. In rare cases, these errors may be a hardware issue. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.
    Also, check your hosts file to verify that it's not blocking iTunes from communicating with the update server. See iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting—follow steps under the heading Blocked by configuration (Mac OS X / Windows) > Rebuild network information > Mac OS X > The hosts file may also be blocking the iTunes Store. If you have software used to perform unauthorized modifications to the iOS device, uninstall this software prior to editing the hosts file to prevent that software from automatically modifying the hosts file again on restart.

  • Ipod touch 2nd generation getting unknown error -1 message while trying to update to 4.2 disabled the security still get message any suggestions?

    While trying to update my ipod touch 2nd generation to ios 4.2 i get the messge this ipod could not be restored. Unknown error occured (-1). Tried updating with security software disabled, restarting both computer and ipod still same results any suggestions?

    Since Apple says:
    Error 1 or -1
    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.
    It sounds like you have a hardware problem ((device may need service). Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

    That'd be associated with trying to connect to the server(s) for one of the Adobe online subscription services.

    I keep getting unknown error occured(4450) when trying to burn a CD, running Windows Vista...any help would be apprciated.

    I had this issue to when trying to burn discs recently.

Give that a try and see what happens.

  • Itunes could not connect to itunes store - an Unknown Error Occured (502 )

    PLEASE HELP !!!!!
    For the last 3 days I have been trying to login to the itunes store, but have recieved the message "Itunes could not connect to itunes store - an unknown error occured (502)" each and every time. Can someone please tell me why this is happening and what I can do to fix the problem. I would really like to download some games onto my Ipod, but am having no luck.
    Thanks

    I have been getting the "cannot access" result for several days, even trying again repeatedly throughout the day and night. It may have started after the last Windows security update. I have not changed anything else on my system prior to this happening, nor have either of the ISP's I use. I agree "something" must have changed, but there seem to be a lot of other people experiencing this same problem. If you are one of them, did it start after applying the Windows update?

  • My iphone says an unknown error occurred (9) when trying to restore in iphone recovery mode

    my iphone says an unknown error occurred (9) when trying to restore in iphone recovery mode

    Hey there ejs11201,
    I see that you are getting an error code when attempting to restore your iPhone. Here is an article that addresses that specific code with some troubleshooting steps and will help you resolve the issue:
    Check your security software
    Related errors: 2, 4, 6, 9, 1611, 9006. Sometimes security software can stop your device from communicating with either the Apple update server or with your device.
    Check your security software and settings to make sure that they aren't blocking a connection to the Apple servers.

    I am trying to restore my iPhone 3gs with iOS 3.0.1! I want to restore with this version of iOS only. I am also getting the same error code "an unknown error occurred 3194". Tried using tinyumberilla, tried it by doing force shutdown, recoverymode restore and all the ways mentioned in discussions forum. But no luck
    Please some body help! Thanks in advance...

    iTunes error 3194 can be caused by a variety of issues. The most common solution is updating iTunes. However, if you are currently running the latest version of iTunes, you can try the other solutions posted here. Hope this helps!

  • 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.

  • An unknown error occurred when Dreamweaver tried to connect to this Contrib

    Hello all,
    I just started having a Dreamweaver problem that's perplexing me...
    I have 2 machines, a G4 and a G5 both running Dreamweaver ( I have MX2004 and 8 on both machines, this problem effects both versions on the G5 only).
    Everything was humming along just fine until the other day when suddenly I was receiving error messages on my G5 stating
    "An unknown error occurred when Dreamweaver tried to connect to this Contribute site".
    Then my local folder containing the website that I was working on would go gray (in Dreamweaver) and lose it's folder icon. It would still look like it was there, just no icon. When I would click on the drop down triangle it would state, " The local root folder, (and the folders name), does not exist. Please select a new local folder by clicking the Manage Sites button".
    I then ran a couple of tests on the G4 and it connected fine, I was able to edit, upload/download, everything as usual. I then attempted to connect to the site with Transmit on the G5...no problem.
    In the site definition I remembered that it may be set up to work with Contribute sites, but this was not the case, the box was unchecked.
    I then had the idea to export the site key from the G4 and grab it onto the G5 and import it into Dreamweaver...I did this AND IT WORKED! Once...after that back to the 2 usual errors.
    I found a work around for now...do my editing/site building in Dreamweaver, and upload with Transmit...this works fine...I've found that the errors only happen AFTER I've connected with the site(s). I've tried this with the other sites I maintain and it was the exact same thing.
    Are there any similar experiences out there? This has really got me stumped... can't imagine what it is.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    thanks

  • I keep getting an "unknown error" when I am trying to install an app. After I have put my correct apple ID in.

    First, turn off your CAPS lock.  Typing in all CAPS is considered screaming/yelling and many will simply ignore your posting.
    Are you currently having issues?  Is it when trying to purchase only on the device?  Are you able to complete purchases via iTunes on your computer?
