ITMS Music Download (err = -50)

I've purchased many songs from the iTMS. I'm trying to download a whole album and getting this error message during each song download:
+++++++++++++++++++++
There was a problem downloading "song title/Band/Album". An unknown error occurred (-50).
Please check that the connection to the netowrk is active and try again.
+++++++++++++++++++++
I know I have a active connection to the network (that's how I'm able to access this page).
I have had no problems before using my Powerbook G4-550 running 10.3.9.
The only thing that's different now from before is that I'm running iTunes 7.0.
On top of all of that I got charged for the download AND it's a surprise for my wife. Boy I'm in trouble now. Anyone share my pain (about the iTMS) or have a solution?
Powerbook G4, Yosemite Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Strangely, a couple of reboots got it working. Although iTunes claimed no network connection, it actually had one - and was using it. As were my other apps.
Once it started working, I like the new temporary download page that appears under the Store.

Can't play itunes music downloaded from old account

I have a bunch of iTunes music downloads I purchased on an old account using an old email many years ago. I no longer have the password and have looked but have not found a way to close out the old account and authorize the music downloads to my current account.
When I tried to retrieve info on the old account it asked me for my birthday. I chose the correct date but the response was the date was INCORRECT!!
Beyond frustrating!!

See this article.
iPod does not play content purchased from the iTMS.

In replacement? Not sure what you mean by that.

Music downloads to the wrong folder

Hi.
I'm running Mountain Lion on my MacBook Pro and understand that music, movies, TV shows, etc., should download to their respective folders within the 'iTunes Media" folder, which is located here: User --> Music --> iTunes --> iTunes Media.
My problem is that, while movies, TV shows, mobile apps and ringtones download properly, music that I either download from the iTunes Store or rip from CDs download directly into the iTunes Media folder, rather than the iTunes Media --> Music folder. Also, there is now a new "Compilations" folder in the iTunes Media folder (in addition to the one listed alphabetically in the iTunes Media --> Music folder).
I'd appreciate any ideas about how to resolve this so my music downloads to the proper locations and remains organized. Thanks for your help.
Shelly

Hi,
Was there ever a resolution to this issue, I'm experiencing the same problem?
I'm an iTunes Match user, and when I...
- Rip a CD
- Run iTunes Match
- Delete the imported CD tracks
- Download the tracks from iTunes
Sometimes they download to the correct album folder in 'Music' however other times they download to the 'Media' folder - it can even be the case that some download to 'Music' and others to 'Media' for the same album.
Seems to have only started recently
Any ideas?
Regards

Is it possible to add music from the music downloader app to the original music app?

I have a bunch of music downloaded on the music downloader app, and i want to play it on the airmusic app, but the airmusic app only shows music from the original music app, and not the music downloader. Is there any way to move my music from the music downloader app to the original music app so it can be played? Sorry if this is confusing to read

I understand what you are trying to do. It's a somewhat complicated process, but here's how it goes:
-Connect your iPod to iTunes and select it in the sidebar. Select "Apps" along the top and scroll down to File Sharing.
-Click on your music downloading app in the apps column. All the music you've downloaded using your music downloading app is downloaded as documents under the app. Select the music files you want, and use the "Save to..." button to save the files to somewhere on your computer (just temporarily), say, Downloads.
-Open Downloads and drag all the newly saved music files into iTunes.
-When the music files finish copying into iTunes, sync your iPod and you should be ready to go.
Let me know if you have any questions.

HT4623 my ipod doesnt let me download any kind of music downloader it keeps on saying this app requires ios something.

my ipod doesnt let me download any kind of music downloader or any thing like subway surfer games it keeps on saying something like this app needs ios something.

Then your ipod would need ios something in order to use the apps.
If your iphone is compatible then update the ios version. Otherwise, you cannot use the apps.

I have anew computer and my ipod was attached to the old one, how can i have my music download to the new computer and sincronize it.

If you no longer have the old computer this will be very helpful and If you have other content - apps, books, movies, that you want to transfer to the iTunes library - you need to transfer your purchases from the iPod to the computer as well.
Take a look.

This works the same way whether you have a Mac or a PC.

Okay, so my friends music downloaded to my iPhone when i put it on his computer to charge and i re-synced it to mine and all his music is still there but blank and wont play how can i get it off of my phone, its so annoying!!

Okay, so my friends music downloaded to my iPhone when i put it on his computer to charge and i re-synced it to mine and all his music is still there but blank and wont play how can i get it off of my phone, its so annoying!! My itunes only has like 4 songs because my computer crashed and lost all my songs, and I'm not trying to steal his music. But like I said its still in the music app on the phone but its all blank and wont play. I just want it off.

When he plugs it into his Mac again, he should be asked if he wishes to sync with that Mac.

If i backup an app for example Music Downloader as it contains like 300 songs and now i want to replace my iphone 5 so when i restore the app from itunes do i get back all the content in the app or just the app itself ??..

Unable to burn CDs with music downloaded from iTunes store

It seems that quite a few people have been having problems burning CDs using iTunes 5 and 6, but I'd like to know how many people are experiencing the same problem that I am. iTunes will not burn any of my playlists featuring tracks downloaded from the iTunes store. Playlists free of iTunes downloads, whether they contain tracks I've imported from CD or other MP3 files, will burn fine. If I try to burn a playlist that features tracks purchased from the iTunes store, iTunes simply freezes up and I have to close it down with the Task Manager.
I've spoken the the Apple support staff in the UK, and they've advised me to try closing down my anti-virus software and removing other music download programs. I've done both of these, but no luck. I have a case number but before I call them back, I'd like to know how many other iTunes users have had the same problem, and whether they've found a solution.

I have that EXACT same problem! I have no idea what to do though, but it is very mucho frustrating. Let me know if you find out anything, and I will do the same.

I have the mac laptop ibook g4,and i wanted to know what music downloader can i download to get free music besides having to use itunes?

I have the ibook g4 laptop! what music downloader can i download to get free music?,so i want have to use itunes.

Given the OS X versions last supported by the old PowerPC based G4/G5 computers, there are a few players that work with music sites for OS X 10.4.11 or OS X 10.5.8. I have not researched these, and many of the web sites that promise a free player or access to free music offer 'adware' laden questionable products, no matter what OS X version a Mac could run.
For just music, the Radio player in the iTunes application can give you several choices of music types, to include fairly recent songs. This will use bandwidth and there likely is no native way in the computer to capture the audio; and without a legal source, a question arises concerning illegal filesharing and the like, which is not a topic friendly to these discussions.
However there some great music channels in the Radio portion of iTunes player that do not require the store to listen to them; these are streamed from servers and you may be able to locate other streaminsg sources and add them to the iTunes Radio player.
There were some shareware or limited use utilities that could record any sounds in your Mac, including beeps, clicks and keyboard sounds. And any noises from web pages, etc. And save them. But some time has passed since I had anything like that. It was like a built-in recorder, and with a Mac microphone, even more so.
However anything software involves the limitations of your computer hardware's upper limit in OS X version. And be wary of sites with several download links that say free or download, since softonic genieo and others can install adware and other hard to remove ailment prone background software in your mac along with their promised product; and their 'uninstaller' also will add hard to remove background stuff in your mac. So does mackeeper and cleanmypc kinds of stuff. Avoid installing these along with hoped-for great promises.
Sorry to not be of much help, however anything that may
contribute to illegal file sharing is a void issue here...
Good luck & happy computing!

Only iTunes purchased music can hava a cloud icon and then only if the music was purchased with the account listed in Settings>iTunes and App Store on the iPod.
Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
If so have you done anything like update iTunes on the computer since it last successfully synced?
Do the songs play in iTunes?
Does any media now sync to the iPod?
Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?

HT1349 About half of my music (downloaded or ripped) will not play. Re-installed, didn't help. Any suggestions?

iTunes will only play about half of my music downloaded or ripped. What is the deal? Also recording is shut off. How do I turn that back on?
Any help? Please!

Now I just uninstalled iTunes 7.7 (or whatever the latest one is) and then restarted my computer, but apparently some files have been left over, because the version of iTuens that I'm attempting to install (7.6) says that it cannot install because a later version of iTunesis installed. Then it lists a Library file and says that it cannot install because a newer version of iTunes created the Library File.
Any Help?

IWeb 09 and E-Commerce for Music downloads

I'd like to build an iWeb site for music downloads. I create music for commercial use. I'd like to build a site and have the download come from the site or and email link. I would like to use Paypal, Visa, etc. Any ideas or information would be greatly appreciated.

In its simplest form you can sign up for a PayPal account and have a single item button for each track or a shopping cart. There are many ECommerce solutions and you'll find some ideas on these pages....
