I am getting an error -50 when downloading a purchased tv episode

recently, i purchased a tv series, "the fades" and proceeded to download past episodes.  Episode 1, 2 and 4 downloaded without any problems but episode 3 stopped after 440.1 MB of 608.1 MB with the explanation stopped (err = -50).  a popup window appears with the following message: 
There was a problem downloading "Episode 3 / The Fades, Season 1 $ The Fades".  An unknown error occured (-50). 
Please check that the connection to the network is active and try again.
My connection is active and I am not running a proxy (like some help suggests on google).  Please help

I'm having the same issue with the exact same episode. I deleted the partial and still get a -50 error. Funny thing is when the dl reaches 450 mb of the 608 mb it starts back over. Downloaded it through my iphone and it downloads all 609mb then starts over, but if I go to the video icon I can watch it. I think something is wrong with the actual video. I even emailed support and got a reply back:
Good afternoon Steven,
Marcus here with the iTunes Store Support team. I hope this email reaches you with high spirits. After reviewing your email, I understand you have been unable to enjoy the third episode from the show "The Fades, Season 1". I know how disheartening it is to feel like you've lost something you've paid for and I can certainly appreciate your desire to re-download your purchase. I will be more than happy to help you!
No worries Steven, I have posted a brand new copy of this item back to your account.
Since the item was purchased via iPhone, you will need to follow these steps to download the item again:
1.) From the Home screen on your iOS device, tap the iTunes icon.
2.) If you're using an iPhone/iPod touch, tap More > Downloads. If you're using an iPad, tap Downloads.
3.) Enter your Apple ID and password.
4.) Tap OK.
The item should begin downloading. If you lose your Internet connection, go back to the Downloads screen in the iTunes app and then tap the arrow icon that appears next to the item.
Still not working. However they did give me 3 credits for tv episodes, which downloaded just fine.

    This worked for someone
    I had this problem for about six weeks. I was following this forum but was too unsure of what might happen to try the fixes that were suggested.
    About two weeks ago I decided to delete the downloads.28.sqlitedb file (usingDiskAid(a free program), on a PC running Windows 7). The original downloads.28.sqlitedb was 936 KB. The new one that the system created is 80 Kb., and has stayed at about that size. After about four days I also deleted all the other contents of the Download folder. Ten days later and still no more problems. Downloads are much quicker, nothing greys-out (as was happening frequently before).
    Everything has worked well since with no more error messages.
    I am using an iPod 4G, iOS 5.1 (originally iOS 5.0). I do not have a manifest file, and as far as I know, have not had one. DiskAid can search the whole "hard drive" on the iPod.
    Deleting downloads.28.sqlitedb and the contents of Downloads worked for me.

  • Why do I keep getting an "error 5002" when trying to purchase my wish list?

    Why do I keep getting a "error 5002" while attempting to purchase my iTunes wishlist?

    I've been trying to figure this out for the past four days myself. I tried everything I could to reset my account information since most of the forums indicated the problem was with my payment information. That didn't ring true for me because I regularly make purchases with no problem. In my case, the problem was that one of the songs I was trying to purchase had been purchased previously. I found this out when I went to each song in my wish list individually and hit the buy button. Surprisingly, each song was purchased and downloaded successfully. When I got to the sixth song or so in my wishlist, iTunes told me that I had already purchased that song and asked if I wanted to download it again. I said yes. I then hit the buy all button for the remaining songs (the behavior that had not worked previously and generated the 5002 error) and the download happened properly.
    I realize that the 5002 error seems to be generated by multiple issues, but that is what worked for me. Perhaps you could try the same approach and see what happens if you haven't already resolved your issue. Good luck.

  • I'm getting the error message when downloading the latest version of itunes has anyone been successful in downloading it?

    I'm trying to get this out of the way. I'm getting an error about Apple Mobile Device isnt registering. I have my phone attached but i dont understand what else to do. Any help?

    Strip it out and start again.
    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
    If you really want to roll back to 11.4 uninstall all iTunes/Apple components as described in the second box, restore the pre-upgrade version of the library as described in Empty/corrupt iTunes library after upgrade/crash, then download and install from one of these direct links:
    iTunes 11.4.0.18 for Windows (32-bit) - iTunesSetup.exe (2014-09-09)
    iTunes 11.4.0.18 for Windows (64-bit) - iTunes64Setup.exe (2014-09-09)

  • I get an error message when i am downloading Itunes. It's the Apple mobile Device. It fails to start because i don't have sufficient privileges. What does that mean?

    What do i have to do to get sufficent privileges?

    Why does the title says "I get an error message when downloading Itunes" when you clearly do not?  The issue has nothing to do with downloading but rather installing of iTunes which is a seperate step.
    Maybe if a search is performed for the real issue then a resolution will be found.

  • HT4943 Error during download - I keep getting this error message when installing or updating apps

    I subscribed to wired magazine and I am trying to download the first mag, however I keep getting an error message stating "error during download, try again later". I also get an error message when trying to resume paused updating of apps. I've tried turning ipad2 off and then on again but this doesn't  work. Can anyone help?

    There are all basic troubleshooting steps that have worked for other users in the past that were having problems downloading and updating apps. YMMV .....
    Make sure that you do not have a stalled download in iTunes - a song or podcast .... if you have a download in there that did not finish, complete that one first. Only one thing can download at a time on the iPad so that could be what is causing the problem.
    If that doesn't work - sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
    Settings>Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Go back to Settings>Store>Sign in and then try to update again. Tap one waiting icon only if necessary to start the download stream.
    You can also try deleting the waiting icons - tap and hold down on an icon until it wiggles - the tap the X on the icon to delete it. Then try to download again.
    You can try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your app preferences and device settings again.
