Itunes 7  downloading probs & authorization probs

I wish I'd checked this forum before updating! I am getting error -50 on purchased music downloads and since I changed my log in password I keep getting the 'not autorised' message on every track I try to play despite authorising the computer and getting 'successful' message on both individual tracks and the computer. Can anyone help?

not sure if this is really answered as I don't know how it was resolved, it just was! I had downloaded the correct Quicktime and I had looked at the article mentioned but that related error -50 only to Video downloads and I was getting it on Music only files. hey ho!

    I have old email address's I used for iTune music purchases and cannot change password on several old accounts. Now some of the music I purchased I can not download and authorize it on my device. What can I do password security does not match my birthdate on two of the accounts. Apple can not send me email with a password authorization on several current accounts that I have with them. How can I contact Apple with this annoying problem I can not fix.

    settings - app/iTunes store - sign out and sign back in with your new id.
    Note - if your older apps needs an update it will use your old apple id and password, as Apps are tied to the apple id that was used to purchase it.
    You can't merge apple id.

  • ITune Store download stopped (err=8003, -3259, etc.)

    Since upgrading to vers. 7 I have troubles downloading TV Shows (f.e. Prison Break Season1) for which I payed for.
    The downloads are starting but stopped suddenly with above mentioned error messages. Very annoying also as some of the downloads pursue to about 95%, stop and are restarting from 0% again!
    Are there any known problems with the server or can someone please explain possible troubleshooting?
    Thanks, Axel
    PS: I might add that the Software Upgrade from QuickTime Pro 7.0.2 to 7.1.3 - for which I bought the upgrade - is also not working (although I doubt that has anything to do with the iTune Store Server)

    On 25th I got the following mail from iTMS:
    1) Before proceeding, make sure you're using the latest version of iTunes. It can be downloaded free of charge: http://www.apple.com/itunes/download
    Note: Installing the latest version of iTunes will not affect your Library or any items in your account that you haven't downloaded.
    2) Open iTunes.
    3) From the Store menu, choose "Advanced" and then "Deauthorize Audible Account" and then re-authorize it from the same drop-down menu.
    4) Enter your account name and password and click OK.
    To start downloading your recent purchases, please follow these steps these steps:
    Enter your account name and password when prompted, then click the Check button. Your purchase should begin downloading.
    This article provides more information about resuming interrupted downloads:
    http://www.info.apple.com/kbnum/n93015
    Once your purchases have downloaded, they will appear in your Purchased playlist as well as your iTunes library. However, you will need to authorize your computer again (1) to play your purchases. To authorize your computer, choose "Authorize Computer..." from the Store menu
    - I do not have an account with Audible
    - This did not solve the error messages and download problems I have.
    - (1) Why would one have to authorize the computer again as it has not been deauthorized?
    Does anyone at ITMS knows what is going wrong?
    PS: email "support" at http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/store/download/ did not...

  • ITunes Podcast Download Failing

    I recently reinstalled OS X to give me a nice clean fresh install, after this i transfered my whole library back to this new clean install, but after reinstalling i've subscribed to my favorite podcasts, the videos download but as soon as there done they dont show up under the podcasts title in the podcasts section. This is quite annoying, i've tried serveral times and as a person who uses itunes to download his favorite podcasts and sync it to my ipod is even more annoying, i've tried creating a new library file, but that doesnt work ether.
    Any ideas guys?

    I had a similar issue. I had to authorize my computer again for my purchases associated with my apple account. This is found in the Advanced menu.
    However, I'm having a different problem no. Iy seems to have happened as a result of upgrading to iTunes 7.5. The problem I'm having now is that my podcasts aren't even downloading now. When I click on the "!" it says "there was a problem downloading 'podcast title' You do not have privileges to make changes". This is very frustrating. It doesn't seem to happen with my free podcasts, only the ones I have user names and passwords for, does it give me this issue. I even tried deleting a podcast and re-adding it, but the same exact issue still exists.

  • 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.

  • ITunes is making me authorize my computer to access music purchased with an old email address (never used as Apple ID).

    iTunes is making me authorize my computer to access music purchased with an old email address (never used as Apple ID).  How do I delete this old email address from my account if it doesn't even show up in my profile?

    Same thing here. I am getting the authorization message with iPad, 2 iPods and 3 iPhones. I'm furious about this. I reviewed my itunes account info and everything looks accurate. I downloaded a movie this morning and I can't sync it to iPad. Let's see what explanation is offered. 

  • HT1420 itunes account will not authorize with only 2 devices authorized

    After having to Reset the SMC due to computer locking up, The itunes account will not authorize. In Apple ID account I show 2 active authorized devices. But my Macbook Pro that was previously authorized will not allow me to authorize it. Error message on the itunes app states that there are already 5 devices active.
    I reset the ACL user account, did a permissions repair, reset computer user password.
    I continue to have the same error message.

    iDevices are not authorized, only computers are.
    What happens when trying to download the media on the computer?  The above is confusing and difficult to read.
    Stick to the facts please.

  • My iPhone 5 won't let me use my apps until I connect them with iTunes after downloading ios7. Solutions?

    My iPhone 5 won't let me use my apps until I connect them with iTunes after downloading ios7.  There's just a thing that pops up and says that in order to activate banners and push notifications I have to connect the app with iTunes. The thing won't go away no matter how many times I push ok, and it doesn't give me another option. Solutions?

    Oh my gosh I had the EXACT same problem, and for ages I couldn't figure out how to fix it until today. Here's what I did:
    First I went onto my computer, opened itunes, and un-installed tumblr, vine and kik. These were the apps I was having problems with (it said I had them on my phone but, like you, they didn't show).
    Then I went to the itunes store, searched for each one, and it said I could update them so I did (just FYI: for tumblr a window popped up saying "please click ok to confirm you are 17 years or older", so I did that also)
    When I went back to my phone and tried installing them again (still on my computer), it worked!
    I hope this helps, because it was incredibly frustrating. Good luck!

  • Why does iTunes Match download songs that I skip?

    I haven't seen this question posted yet, but feel free to direct me to any pertinent posts.
    I've been using iTunes Match for the last couple days, and all in all I really enjoy the service. There is one issue that I've yet to see addressed on these boards yet though; why is iTunes Match downloading songs that I skip? I listen to all my music in random, so occasionally there will be a song I just don't want to hear at the moment. I assumed that if I don't listen to a song completely that it would not be downloaded to my device. Not true apparently. I was able to use about half a gig of data in a few hours just by skipping songs. Every song that was skipped, even if I didn't hear a single second of it, was downloaded (at an average size of 5-8 MB). I sincerely hope this is just a bug and not a 'feature'.
    Any insight on this would be appreciated.

    I have noticed this too. I filled up my phone VERY fast yesterday.
    and deleting is not easy, lots of left swipe DELETE action, took a while.

  • ITunes Movie Download keeps stopping at 1.64GB

    Hiya,
    I recently bought the Avengers off iTunes [HD, trying 1080p] but everytime the download gets to around 1.64GB, the timer vanishes and the progress bar stops going up indefinatly, though it says it's still downloading.
    The iTunes extra part of the download has installed and works perfectly (it was a seperate download). Occasionally when using the pause/resume all button to try and get the movie download to work the extra came up with a -50 error, but after another reset it downloaded fine. Another issue both have had is the timer starts saying thousnds of hours will be needed for the download after a pause/unpause. The movie is watchable upto about 41 minuets after/during every download
    Thing's i have tried:
    -Deleting the "Downloads" folder in iTunes media
    -Downloading to an external Hard Drive by changing the locatoin of my iTunes Media folder (where the download froze at about 400MB instead of 1.6GB)
    -Deleting the film/download file and begging the download anew from "check for availabe downloads"
    -Restarting iTunes
    -Restarting my computer (2011 13" Mac Book Pro Running Lion 10.7.5)
    -Leaving the download to run over night, was still on 1.64GB in the morning.
    -Watching/Not Watching whilst downloading.
    I might try downloading in SD/720p, but will i be able to download the 1080p version later on if i do so?
    Many thanks.

    Heya, thanks for replying
    I eventually got in touch with iTunes support who could see I still had pending downloads and were quite happy to cancel them and give me a store credit refund. Their advice was to try another movie or leave it for a few weeks as the movie I wanted was under high demand, which may have led to the problems I had (Avengers + Christmas, fair enough really).
    ...so about 2 days later I tried it again along with the batman trilogy and everything downloaded just fine.
    I always hate the idea of going to customer support but I have to say apple's has always been quick, reasonable and helpfull, so just go for it with a detailed explination and you should be fine
    Good luck!

  • I mistakenly asked iTunes to download a TV series and I can't get it to stop trying to download it.   how do I kill the download?

    I mistakenly asked iTunes to download a TV series and I can't get it to stop trying to download it.   how do I kill the download?

    You've got to be freakin' kidding me. I'm in Brazil, I accidentally started a 2.2GB download that it says will take 592 minutes to download, and there's no way I can stop it and download something else until that first download finishes? I would have thought it was unthinkable 15 years ago that anyone would build an app that downloads things but doesn't allow the option of canceling the download, but in this day and age? So much for Apple making intuitive, user-friendly products.
