I got this message after trying to download a movie: an unknown error occured (-50). please check that the connection to the network is active and try again. I'm pretty sure that my internet is connected, especially since I downloaded a song before that.

Like I said, I'm pretty sure my internet is connected as I just downloaded a song right before I tried to download the movie. The extras for the movie downloaded by the way, but not the actual movie. Any ideas?

Perhaps try the "Error -50," "-5000," "8003," "8008," or "-42023" section in the Specific Conditions and Alert Messages: (Mac OS X / Windows) section of the following document:

  • TS3297 When trying to purchase music on my MacBook Pro I got this message: Could not purchase "Wish List". An unknown error occurred (5002) in the iTunes store.

    Trying to purchase music and received this message: Could not purchase "Wish List". An unknown error occurred (5002) in the iTunes store. Try again later. I have tryed multiple times and still keep getting this error message. I have the downloaded the latest iTunes version. What is the answer?

    So you already followed these steps?
    This alert is often the result of an issue with verifying your billing.
    Quit iTunes.
    Open iTunes.
    Test the issue.
    If it persists, sign in to store.apple.com using your iTunes account
    Click on Change account information
    Modify or remove your credit card information.
    Click Continue.
    Test the issue.
    If you have I'd try calling AppleCare back and telling the it is error 5002 and already tried troubleshooting steps as listed in TS3297 and that you have already tried to email iTunes support and have yet to recieve a response.

  • What do i do after downloading iOS 3.1 software and "There was a problem downloading iOS 3.1.1 software update for ipod touch. an unknown error occurred (8288). Please check that the connection to the network is active and try again." comes up?

    what do i do after downloading iOS 3.1 software and "There was a problem downloading iOS 3.1.1 software update for ipod touch. an unknown error occurred (8288). Please check that the connection to the network is active and try again." comes up?

    Hello, I hope by now you have resolved the upgrade issue, but if not, here is what I ended up having to do:
    “SUCCESS!!! I took my iPod to a friend who is a computer programmer/genius. He turned off his wireless, hooked the ethernet cable directly into his computer, and the download went through without a hitch. YAY!”
    Here is my original post explaining what I had already tried:
    “Hi all,
    I got an iPod Touch 1st gen for my youngest son for Christmas as a starter. It has the 2.1.2 ios on it, but after I paid for the upgrade to 3.1.1, I keep getting an error message (8288) saying there was a problem with the network connection. I have called customer service, and they suggested I try on a different computer, and if that didn't work, try connecting to a different network, and then trying the update. None of this has worked. It seems that tech support is clueless with this issue.
    I have installed and unistalled iTunes 10.5, 10.3, 10.4, and now I am back with 10.5. I have tried looking up the issue from several search engines but no one seems to have a universal solution and I have tried several.
    I really want to have this thing updated for himw hwne he opens it, but I am starting to worry that my purchase was a bust. I know this is the oldest version, but I don't want to buy a newer, more expensive iPod and him still not be mature enough to really take care of it. As I said, this one is a starter.
    Can anyone help? Please?!
    Thank you!!!
    P.S. We have a PC, with Windows XP Home.”
    Now, there seem to be a lot of different ways to solve the 8288 error, none of which are universal. Best of luck getting yours upgraded!

    P.S. The post by Sparkhi is a link to his blog going into a long story about how he wanted Apple to pay him for “solving” the issue….the one that apparently has been solved by multiple solutions. I’m not trying to bash, it just bothers me that he put up this whole story and finally, at the very end of his blog post, posts his solution.

  • TS3297 Error message: 'Cant connect to the itunes store. An unknown error occured (-3212) please check you have an active internet connection and try again'. Help !

    Can someone help me please ? I was using itunes (downloading albums etc) just half an hour ago. I had a pop up asking me if i'd like to download the latest version of itunes, which i accepted. When the update had finshed downloading, i then restarted my computer, as i usually would. Tried to re access the itunes store, and received the following error message: 'Cant connect to the itunes store. An unknown error occurred (-3212) please check you have an active internet connection and try again.
    Needless to say, i have an active internet connection and cant see any reason why this would be happening, it has never happened before ?
    Any help would be appreciated.

    downloading from the itunes store for the first time using my new macbook pro. I am able to log on and I'm able to search the itunes site. When I purchase a movie or song, the download is about to start and then I get an error message "there was a problem downloading" " movie or song name"." Please check that the connection to the network is active and try again". I know the connection is good, I can surf the web with no issues and I can also move around the itunes store with no issues. Only downloading seems to be an issue.

  • I keep getting this message when trying to update to Itunes 10.5 "Errors occurred while installing the updates. If the problem persists, choose Tools Download Only and try installing manually".

    I tried going to Apples site and installing it manually and that leads to me getting the same error message. Please any help would be appreciated.

    Try updating your iTunes using an iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) installer file downloaded from the Apple website:

    Hi--
    Error -36 is a disk I/O error. Usually it means there's something physically wrong with the disk (bad blocks), the drive controller, or, if it's an external drive, the cable or connectors.
    Trying a different cable is the easiest thing to try.

So please if anyone knows how to avoid that error message or try itunes not to connect to itunes store automatically. Then please tell me how to do that.

    Close your iTunes,
    Go to command Prompt -
    (Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
    (Win XP SP2 & above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
    In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
    netsh winsock reset
    Hit "ENTER" key
    Restart your computer.
    If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
    Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.
    If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

  • "There was a problem downloading podcast. An unknown error occurred (-50)"

    Hello everyone,
    When I try to download the latest episode of my podcast feed, I see an exclamation mark next to the episode. When I click on the exclamation mark for more information, I see the following error message:
    "There was a problem downloading <podcast_episode>. An unknown error occurred (-50). Please check that the URL is correct and the connection to the network is active and try again."
    I was hoping that somebody might take a look at my feed and review the code for any potential problems. It can be found here:
    http://www.stereogol.com/audio/wimpy_podcast.php
    Important notes:
    1. This is not XML code. It is an XML generator created in PHP.
    2. This feed used to work fine in iTunes. I had many episodes already downloaded.
    3. I began noticing the problem after upgrading to iTunes version 7 and beyond.
    4. I know at least 3 other people that experienced the same problem with my feed after upgrading.
    5. Upgrading to newer service packs (7.0.2 for example) has not solved the problem.
    6. I ran my feed through an RSS validator. It spotted 2 errors: (1) the width of the podcast image and (2) the syntax of the <source> tag. I made corrections but they did not solve the problem. I changed them back after that.
    Thanks in advance for any input you can provide.
    Pedro
