HT203200 I upgraded to 11.4 and get error message -50 when trying to signin. My PC is XP.

I reinstalled iTunes 10.? as could not previously show all new podcasts and apps, only some, this new upgrade showed all new podcasts and apps. But then could not sync at all so I downloaded 11.4, now I cannot signin and get ''We could not complete you iTunes store request. An unknown error occurred (-50).''. Have turned off Windows firewall to no avail. Firewall is not enacted in my other anti-virus program.

Hello there 1Romans1,
In the research I have been doing it seems like this specific error is usually caused by some sort of security software as it secures incoming and outgoing packets. Take a look at this section of the article iTunes: Specific update-and-restore error messages and advanced troubleshooting found here http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3694#error50
Eliminate third-party security software conflicts.
There may be third-party software installed that modifies your default packet size in Windows by inserting one or more TcpWindowSize entries into your registry. Your default packet size being set incorrectly can cause this error. Contact the manufacturer of the software that installed the packet-size modification for assistance. Or, follow this article by Microsoft: How to reset Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) to reset the packet size back to the default for Windows.
Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, bypassing any routers, hubs, or switches. You may need to restart your computer and modem to get online.
There are other steps in the article but they are more for restoring/syncing issues. I feel these are the important ones for your situation.
Regards,
Sterling

    Hey there davidgor2!
    I have found an article that should help you resolve this issue with updating your iTunes. The article can be found here:
    iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3297
    and the specific part of the article you will want to look at first is right here:
    "Error 42023" through "Error 42408"
    These alerts might occur when trying to authorize iTunes or during launch when iTunes checks for authorization information.
    Install the latest iTunes from apple.com/itunes/download/
    Remove the SC Info folder.
    If that does not resolve the issue, see iTunes: "Error 42408" or "Error 42404" after upgrading to iTunes 9.0.3.
    Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!

  • I get error message 42032 when trying to connect an iPhone to iTunes. Any ideas how to fix it?

    I get error message 42032 when trying to connect an iPhone to iTunes. Any ideas how to fix it?

    Did you already try these suggestions?
    Check USB connections
    Related errors: 13, 14, 1600-1629, 1643-1650, 2000-2009, 4000, 4005, 4013, 4014, 4016, “invalid response,” and being prompted to restore again after a restore completes.
    If there’s an issue with the USB port, cable, dock, or hub, or if the device becomes disconnected during restore, try troubleshooting the USB connection, then troubleshooting your security software.
    To narrow down the issue, you can also change up your hardware:
    Use another USB cable.
    Plug your cable into a different USB port on your computer.
    Try a different dock connector (or no dock).
    Add (or remove) a USB hub between your device and computer.
    Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, with no routers, hubs, or switches.
    If you checked your connections and are still seeing the error message, check for hardware issues.

    Hi Hello,
    Getting error message 2003 when trying to restre repaired 3g handset?...any assist greatly appreciated...Kind Regards...Mike.

    Hi there,
    This may be caused by a USB conflict or and issue with your security software. It looks like the article you came from has this information toward the bottom.
    Error 2000-2009 (2001, 2002, 2005, 2006, 2009, and so on)
    If you experience this issue on a Mac, disconnect third-party devices, hubs, spare cables, displays, reset the SMC, and then try to restore. If you are using a Windows computer, remove all USB devices and spare cables other than your keyboard, mouse, and the device, restart the computer, and try to restore. If that does not resolve the issue, try the USB issue-resolution steps and articles listed for Error 1604 above. If the issue persists, it may be related to conflicting security software. If the errors persist on another computer and known-good USB cable, the device may need service.

  • Installing the latest update on my iPad - error message saying the iPad couldn't synchronize because of an internal error, and then - error message (OxE8004017) when trying to save, and then (2003) when trying to restore - nothing works anymore

    Installing the latest update on my iPad - error message saying the iPad couldn't synchronize because of an internal error, and then - error message (OxE8004017) when trying to save, and then (2003) when trying to restore - nothing works anymore - On my iPad the only thing I see is a connector cord to iTunes and nothing else.
    What can I do  ???

    Same issue for me, recently I started having issues with apps no longer being able to access my Facebook account. But the iPad Facebook account settings will not accept my password, even though the Facebook app and Safari can access my account fine. The only significant events I recall that have occurred that may have triggered this have been that via my Facebook account I killed off a lot of so called authorised connections and I changed my user name, but still have the same email address and password.
    I have tried just about every solution put forward on the net, short of a factory restore, back to new, on my iPad.
    I have also; deleted my iCloud account, deleted the Facebook app and account, deleted Safari data.
    One would think that after I have deleted my account from the iPad that it would ask for both username/email address and password, but it only asks for password, so the username is still stored somewhere that I am unable to delete.
    I also see that no one seems to have been able to get an answer from Apple. So I'm guessing they have absolutely no idea themselves.
    I am hesitant to put my username on Facebook back to what it was as Facebook only give you a few chances to change your username, then you are locked.
    I have iOS 7.1.1 installed.
    I did have a lot of respect for Apple and their devices as they just worked, but they are becoming tarnished by ignoring what seems to be a growing issue.
