I get an error -3259 when trying to download an app. (And ONLY certain apps!)

Ok, this is really weird. At first I thought it was my firewall, because I just installed it, and now iTunes wasn't downloadinf anything. But i've come to realise that there is nothing wrong with my firewall, or router...it's iTunes! You see, I didn't think anything was downloading because the downloads were taking so long to actually start downloading. But it appears some apps download, while others don't. And I still can't explain why it takes so long for the download to actually start. My internet is at it's normal speed as always, the firewall isn't blocking iTunes at all, and it's the latest version. Plus, no everytime I start up, it asks me to enter my Apple ID and password. I'm thinking something has gone screwy with iTunes, because I've been over every thing that could have changed on my computer, and troubleshooted it. But as Sherlock Holmes said "When you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth."

  • Why do I get an error "50" when trying to download a purchase and what can be done about it?

    I've been trying (over a number of evenings, days) during the last 8 weeks to download my purchase of The Amazing Spiderman movie itunes extras.  It gets so far and re-starts from where it last started and if I stop it and start it I get an error "50" message saying it's an unknown error.  My internet connection is functioning perfectly well as I have been able to download other items in iTunes.  How can I get my purchase downloaded?  Can anyone help?

    We have tried deleting and re-installing the apps and attempting the in-app purchase again.  Still get error messages. Any suggestions?

    I also found this in another post
    These ones are typically caused by underlying problems on the PC that also often cause Windows Updates to fail to install. If we can fix the Windows Update trouble, we can usually get the iTunes trouble cleaned up en passant.
    Go into your Windows update and try to check for new updates. If updates install, stock up on the ones you're behind on, restarting the PC if requested to do so. After the restart, try installing iTunes again. Does it go through this time for you?
    If windows updates fail to install, go into your Update History and doubleclick the failures. What alphanumeric codes appear for you? (For example, 8007000B.)

  • I keep getting an error message when trying to download i tunes. It says it's looking for MSVCR80.dll and I find it on my computer so I don't know what else to do. Any suggestions?

    I keep getting an error message when trying to download itunes. It says it can't find "msvcr80.dll, but when I search for it on my computer it is there. My itunes was working just fine before I got the message to download the latest upgrade. I've not had any problems doing that before now, so don't really know what to do.

    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
    Please note:
    Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

    You can't use Safari to download iPad apps. Only use iTunes/App Store.

    why do i get 3072 error code when trying ot download 6.0.4

    Some details, please?
    Based on the version number, you seeking to upgrade Safari?
    What OS X version?
    How are you upgraded or downloading the software?   (Directly downloaded, or via Software Update?)
    Have you tried quitting all applications, and then performing the Software Update?   (Discussion per this thread — but that thread is for iTunes, and I'm guessing you're looking at Safari here?)  If that doesn't work, I'd keep everything quit, reboot, and try again.
