Help! Getting iTunes Error 11503 and Error (-50) was working fine this morning and now nothing
My iTunes has been working fine until this afternoon and now when I go to download music I am getting error code 11503 or (-50) Help, please!
Here's a possible fix for Error 11503 and for error 50.
It worked for me and hopefully it will work for you.
I believe this error is caused by the incomplete downloading of either an update to an app, or perhaps a big music file. In my case it was caused by closing the lid on my laptop when I was downloading app updates on a very slow internet connection in a hotel.
Anyway, here is what I did that fixed it completely.
Close iTunes.
Go to this folder : /iTunes/Mobile Applications/Downloads
You'll find tmp files there. Drag them out of this folder to a temporary folder on your desktop. The Downloads folder should now be empty.
Restart iTunes.
All should be fine.
If it's not, then I can't help further, but that's what worked for me.

The icloud system stopped working 10 minutes after just used it to get some of my email. What happened? What can I do?
I recently had to reinstall my software for a
dell computer a dell latitude d 830, then after installing all of my software and such including itunes the player did well even record to disks with no problems now that my system has done alot of updating of system files....now the itunes does not burn to my cd...error message 2131 this time
The 2131 usually indicates firmware needs to be updated on a drive.
Head to your drivers and downloads page for your latitude at Dell, and check for updates to your firmware for your optical drives. If you're behind and you update, does that clear up the 2131? -
My boyfriend and I both have iphone4's and we both did the 7.3 update this morning. My phone is still working properly but his just shut off after he'd taken a call and now he can't get it to turn back on. Coincidence? He's not dropped it or gotten it wet and he literally had just hung up from talking to me when it stopped working.
Anyone else having issues? Thoughts?
Thanks!NO, but he can try a reset, hold down the home/sleep button together until you see the apple logo and then release, then wait for the phone to boot back up.

Sorry - more information. Using it off iPhone 4S
Hello Theo,
I have a few recommendations for you. First if you havent already, restart the iPhone following iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430.
Restarting your device
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider.
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
I would also unplug power to your Apple TV and modem/router, wait a good 30 seconds, and plug it all back up.
If none of that gets it going again, then have a look at this article for troubleshooting Airplay:
Troubleshooting AirPlay and AirPlay Mirroring

connected my iphone to itunes earlier today...it was working fine...now i get an error message saying that my phone is in recovery mode...needs to be reset and that all media and contacts will be deleted.....is this really true? or is there a solution
No it's not true. It's one big practical joke being played on you by Apple.

Time Capsule error 22 - My time capsule was working fine and didn't notice anything wrong with it until it stopped backing up about two weeks ago. I never changed anything like computer names or the Airport settings. All I get is the following:
The backup disk image "/Volumes/Data/Linda's Computer 1.sparsebundle" could not be created (error 22).
I tried resetting the Time Capsule and connecting with an ethernet cable, although the Ariport Utility says everything is working fine through WiFi.If the light will not turn on the TC is dead. No matter that the hard disk is running.. it should only run at start up or when it is accessed not constantly.. that means the board in the TC has failed. Apple do not repair them.. They will replace it under warranty or applecare.
If you have gone over the 12month warranty it will still be covered if you have applecare on any computer or an Apple TV. In fact the cost of the apple TV plus apple care is still cheaper than buying a new TC.. so it is a route some people are taking.. certainly depends.. in some places like Europe or Australia now, there is a recognition that statutory warranty must be longer on a product that is premium to the market. 12months is not good enough. Apple will sometimes listen.
They might be fixable but I do not know how. -
Hi there
I ha
Hi there I have a iPhone 3G and it was with O2 but needed to go onto 3 network so someone on my local market unlocked it and the phone was working fine until I tried to update it through iTunes and it always now stops loading towards the end with an error is there a way to get the phone working again please.Shame you had the iPhone hacked as O2 usually unlock their customers iPhones happily.
We cannot discuss your problem as it is in breach of the Ts&Cs you agreed to on registering
However hint ....you have probably trashed it -
I bought Apple TV3 , it was working fine until today and stopped showing the status light. Please help.
try another cable it's a std cable that most consumer electronic use
if that does not help then I would try to connect it by a microUSB cable to see if I could restore the firmware from a computer running itunes
if that does not help then I would say that the appletv have died -

So I just bought an iPhone 5s and Touch ID was working fine until the software update is that a bug ? Because I don't think my home button broke
Have not heard of that but here is what I would do - test after each step to see if the problem is solved
1. Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
2. If that does not work - back up to iTunes and restore to factory settings
3. Check to see if the problem is resolved before restoring from backup -
After installing the notified update I am unable to send e-mails (using Outlook Express on Windows XP) as my system is now thought to be Unsecure. (I receive a message saying "... Secure(SSL): No, Error Number: 0x800CCC0F") Everything was working fine immediately before I installed the update. Can anyone (pleeeease) tell me where Flash has changed my security settings as I have looked at the setup, but everything looks okay. Thankyou!
Branching this to a new discussion as it appear you are facing difficulties with the installation or running the programs you have been downloading and installing.

I have changed nothing on my computer, and it was opening and functioning fine this morning. However, everytime I try to open it, I get a message box saying "Could not initialize the application's security component. The most likely cause is problems with files in your application's profile directory. Please check that this directory has no read/write restrictions and your hard disk is not full or close to full. It is recommended that you exit the application and fix the problem. If you continue to use this session, you might see incorrect application behaviour when accessing security features." And when the page actually opens, it says "Unexpected response from server
Firefox doesn't know how to communicate with the server.
Check to make sure your system has the Personal Security Manager
installed.
This might be due to a non-standard configuration on the server."
Nothing will load and I don't know what's wrong!Did Firefox update to 4.0.1?
A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process.
