Help!  Unknown Error -50 -- Can't Download Music

Does anybody know what "unknown error -50" is? I tried to buy some music and it stalls, then gives me the pop-up window saying:
"There was a problem downloading ___. An unknown error occurred (-50). Please check that the connection to the network is active and try again."
I am active, and it doesn't work. Thanks.
Happened on my PowerBook G4, using iTunes 7.01.

PToe,
Thanks. I had exactly the same problem. Restarting iTunes as you perscribed took care of things.
I have not had this problem on my iMac (where I have been running iTunes 7.0.1 for over a week and have bought lots of music since upgrading), but the "unknown error -50" happened on my PowerBook after upgrading to iTunes 7.0.1 from 6.something two days ago. The only differences between the two systems are (a) the PowerBook is connected wirelessly to my router (the iMac is wired to the router), and (b) I am running 10.3.9 on the Powerbook vs. 10.4.8 on the iMac.
It would be nice to know why this error happened.

  • Nano 5 cannot by synced with unknown error 13019; can't download restore

    I know there are variations on this problem, but I didn't see any quite like what I'm experiencing.
    New Nano 5. Connected it to itunes it synced ok. The next time I attempted to resync, I got unknown error 13019 and it wouldn't sync. I reset the Nano, still got error. I attempted to restore it and the restore download timed out. Tried that at different times with same results. Can you download the restore from the apple web site rather than thru itunes, or is it limited to that? Any other suggestions.
    Thanks

  • I have new ipad2 and the iTunes have only podcasts and iTunes U options. I simply can't download music or vidoes. Please help!

    i have new ipad2 and the iTunes have only podcasts and iTunes U options. I simply can't download music or vidoes. Please help!

    Not all content types are available in all countries, and unfortunately where you are you will only have apps, podcasts, iTunes U and free books - the full list of what is available where is shown on this page : http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3599 . As the terms of use of the stores state that you can only use your own country's store, you also can't get music or films from Apple from other country's stores.
    Are there other music and/or film purchase download sites that you can use in the UAE ? For music you can also copy your own CDs and sync them to the iPad

  • HT5318 i just got the new iphone 5 and i can't download music from my 10.5.8 mac HELP!

    i just got the new iphone 5 and i can't download music from my 10.5.8 mac HELP!

    You would need to buy a new operating system (Snow leopard 10.6.x, or higher).
    Before doing that, it would be best to check to see if your Mac can run the higher operating system.
    Go to the Apple in the upper left corner of any window, then "About This Mac", then "More Info..." Copy and paste the information into a reply here, but omit the serial number and Hardware UUID (if present).

  • HT1711 How can I download music VDO to my iPad ? I can manage to do 1 music from Boyzone,I tried but no music VDO for me to buy,Please help!!!

    How can I download music VDO to my iPad? I can manage to do one from Boyzone,Please somebody help!Thank you.

    Ok...I'm going to go through what happens on my PC step by step and see if anybody has a suggestion on what I need to do.
    I just plugged in my iPhone...a box pops up that says "Apple iPhone, Camera Connected, Select the program to launch for this action:" I then select Microsoft Scanner and Camera Wizard and click ok. Then a box pops up that says "Microsoft Scanner and Camera Wizard...it shows an icon of a camera and a computer monitor and says "Reading Picture Information" it does this for a full minute and then a box pops up that says "The computer cannot detect the scanner or camera. Please make sure the device is turned on and is properly connected to the computer"
    Now here's step two that I try:
    I go through "My Computer" I can see the camera icon that says Apple iPhone...I right click on it...and one of the options is "Get Pictures" so I click on that...and the same box pops up from before that shows the camera icon and the monitor icon and says "Reading Picture Information" but this time a different message pops up that says "The scanner or camera is in use. Please try again later"
    So the next thing I try is double clicking on the icon instead of right clicking...it opens an empty window but on the left hand side gives me some "Camera Tasks" to choose from and I choose "Get Pictures From Camera" The same "Reading Picture Information" pops up and then the same " The scanner or camera is in use. Please try again later" message pops up.
    The phone is not locked.
    This is driving me insane...I've been trying to do this since I got the phone 6/29/07 I've ran the windows update to make sure all my stuff is up to date...I DON'T GET IT.

  • Help please:How do I solve "Unknown Error -53 Can't Sync (My) Ipod"

    my Laptop was stolen.. it had my iTunes on it.. I have another computer so I down load iTunes but it does not seem to want to recognise my iPod saying "Unknown error -53 Can't Sync (My) iPod. Help appreciated. Friendly shake hands. R

    Thank you, but I did that. I de-selected and then re-selected but because the 13019 still won't allow the sync, all it did was completely delete everything on my Ipod!  I now have no songs on my Ipod when at least before, I had all my songs but the new 12 songs!  I'm freaking!

    Could it be a new work firewall associated with the upgrades?  How can I resolve this?

  • I can't download music.

    Hi I'm using a blackberry 9320 and I'm on MTN. I have BIS, but I can't download music even when I have airtime, it just says something like "error, download failed". I bought the phone 3 weeks ago and I've had the problem since then. Plz help me. :'(

    I tried downloading from the site "tubidy.com".
    The error message is just "error" at the bottom left of the download progress bar.
    I'm not attempting this via WiFi, so I guess it's the other one. I'm not sure.
    Well my other BIS services like the social networks are working just fine and have been working like this since I bought the phone.

    The iPad 1 can't run the newer operating systems. It'd be like trying to play a bluray disc in your 6 year old dvd player....it simply lacks the hardware to make the software run.
    No suggestion about the camera, but given that Apple's attitude seems to be to focus more on the more mobile devices for photography (the iPhone and Touch cameras got features, the iPad and mini didn't), that is highly unlikely. You can tell Apple what you want, but you'd probably be money ahead to get a digital camera.
    as to the photos, anything put on via iTunes has to come off via iTunes.Your main alternative would be to look for photo apps that offer file exchange that may give you more functionality.

  • Cannot update my iPad2 to 5.1 An unknown error message cancels the download process. Could you please inform me how to fix this issue? Thanks!

    Cannot update my jail broken iPad2 & iPhone 4S to 5.1
    An unknown error message cancels the download process. Could you please inform me how to fix this issue? What is also odd is the fact that the update through iTunes is substantially bigger than downloading it directly OTA, although both methods have been unsuccessful so far...
    Thanks!

    About the only thing you can try is using the Online Internet Recovery system to reinstall Lion on your Mac over the top of the current install. that will reset all system files and should not touch your personal files or the apps you have installed.
    Or iof you have a recent Time Machine backup use that to restore your Mac to that point in time.

  • Hw can i download music and videos in lumina710

    Hw can i download music and videos in lumina710 directly from mobile web????!!#!
    Y my mobile Lumina is not getting web continuously having full signal too

    Hey Lumina710, Welcome to the Nokia Forums!
    Im afraid if you are looking to put video or music content on your Lumia 710 you will have to download the files onto your PC and transfer them accross using Zune software. However you can still stream content rather than download it. 
    You can also purchase music in the Marketplace application.
    I hope this helps!
