ITunes upgrade download will not resume

Since the beginning iTunes has had one glaring failure in the upgrades. The downloads will not resume. I cannot even pause without it starting from scratch. Torrent technology is old stuff. But evidently too new for iTunes.
For testing do what the pirate sites do - unplug the connection, crash the OS, reboot, etc in the middle of a download. If it is corrupted you are doing it wrong. It should resume with minimal loss of packets. NOT start all over again.

It might also be worth submitting feedback via this form:

That will guarantee that someone from Apple will see your requests ... we're predominantly a user-to-user forum here, and so there's no guarantee that someone from Apple will see what you've posted here.

  • TS3694 error -39 leads to error -50 when downloading from itunes store and the download will not resume

    I download a TV Show from itunes and usually as soon as it begins, it tells me that my TV Show is ready to watch and I can choose to "Play TV Show Now" or "Watch Later." I choose Play TV Show Now. Then after about 20 seconds of watching, and error message comes up with the error code -39. The download stopped and when I resume, it will download for 5 more seconds but then I get another error message with the code -50. I click the Resume button and it won't resume no matter how many times I click it. So I have to go to Music, iTunes, iTunes Media, Downloads, and delete the folder with the name of the TV Show that wouldn't work. Then i open iTunes again and Check for Downloads and it starts over downloading.
    The errors only occur when I start playing the TV Show while its downloading. Its fine if I let it download.
    How do I fix the errors?

    That's not the issue (waiting for the download to complete).  The issue is that the download never ever completes.  The Computer says "Hey, you can watch your show," but then just a few moments have downloaded, and you get a "-50" error.
    The published solution for the -50 error is to navigate to the wack place that itunes has decided to store your download (if you can find it) and delete the partial file and try again.
    I have "tried again" 5 times now.  It's not working.

  • My computer crashed but I was able to download my itunes libary to a ext drive,,,I want to use another computer now but the itunes I downloaded will not find the files I saved from my old computer

    I have all my albums and songs stored on portable hard drive,,,I downloaded them from itunes on my old computer.     after installing itunes on new computer I can not get it to find them on the portable hard drive ?

    what you have to do is copy all of your albums and songs into the itunes folder on your new computers hard drive and then start itunes and give it a few minutes and the items will show up in itunes

  • Also unable to uninstall quicktime - so Itunes new download will not work

    I even tried deleting ITunes and now I can't even reinstall it because I get the error telling me that previous edition quicktime cannot be uninstalled. Now What???

    Thanks!  So I would need to manually upgrade to Snow Leopar
    d, then 10.6.8 right?  Because it is not showing as an option on Software Update.  I purchase Snow Leopard and then take it from there?
    And will memory be an issue?  Here is what I currently have:
    Intel Core 2 Duo
    Memory 2 GB
    L2 Cache 4 MB
    Will I be ok with this?

  • Mountain lion download will not resume

    Finally figured out how to get the program to downlaod but my connection in africa is super slow am trying to downlaod it in increments, downloaded a bit yesterday, came back today to continue but no matter how many times i click resume in the task bar or in the purchases window nothing happens and still says "paused". frustrating.

    If you properly pause the download, it should be able to resume without any problem.
    When I downloaded Mountain Lion, I paused and resumed hours later without any problem. But when it reached 95% of the download, my internet connection dropped for like 1 minute, and when it came back, the download restarted from zero.
    So as long as the internet connection is not dropping during the download, you should be able to resume.

  • Itunes 7 download will not start

    After I click on the "Download Itunes-Free" button, it takes me to the "Thank you for downloading Itunes" page.
    1 of 2 things happens next.
    1)The Webpage constantly loads without bringing up an option to download. It is stuck loading this address: switch.atdmt.com
    or
    2)The download box comes up and I chose to save. But the download is constantly stuck in "download starting..." It has been stuck on this for 2+ hours before.
    I have windows xp with the latest critical patches.
    This occurs when using the latest versions of both firefox and IE.
    I have tried turning off my firewall/adblock/virus protection and it does the same thing
    Anyone seen this before? Or have a work around?
    -Thanks for your time

    i've seen this sort of symptom produced by pop-up blockers. and web acceleration software.
    if you switch off all your pop-up blockers and/or web acceleration software, does the download go through properly for you?

  • Itunes store download will not complete!

    I bought The Amazing Spiderman movie from the store but the download won't complete - it's about 90% done, and shows as "processing" in the itunes app on my 4s. I've been able to download it to my MB pro, but I can't seem to clear it from my phone. I've tried syncing, but this makes no difference. It's been sat there "processing" for about a week now.
    Help!

    How old are the purchases, and if they are old purchases that used to play ok then have you amended the tracks end times (e.g. by selecting/highlighting them in your library and doing control-I  on them) so that they don't play all the way through ?
    If the music is still in your country's store then you should be able to delete those tracks from your iTunes library and redownload them by  clicking on your account name at the top right of the iTunes screen and clicking ‘Purchased’ on the popup.

  • I have downloaded a french cd onto iTunes, but it will not show up on my iPhone or iPad.  The cd is both music and spokenk

    I have downloaded a French cd on iTunes. It is both speaking and music.  It has downloaded fine in iTunes but it will not transfer to either my iPhone or iPad.  Could someone advise please?

    Check the site of the manufacturer and see if there is an update for your router and install it. If there isn't one try restarting your router by pulling the plug on it and plugging it back in.

  • ITunes 11.2.2 for Windows x64 will not successfully install.  Removed prior iTunes, and still will not install. 10.7 installs just fine, but constantly asks to upgrade to 11.2.2.  Any Thoughts?

    iTunes 11.2.2 for Windows x64 will not successfully install.  Removed prior iTunes, and still will not install. 10.7 installs just fine, but constantly asks to upgrade to 11.2.2.  Any Thoughts?

    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 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.
    The section Install missing components has advice on breaking down the iTunes installer into the individual .msi files which might prove useful if one component won't install normally.
    If needs be, the Microsoft Program Install and Uninstall Utility (MS Installer "Fixit") may be able to help force through the installation.

  • Hello, i purchased the movie Changeling and its shows in Itunes library but will not transfer to my Ipod. It has the Icloud icon showing in the top right hand corner and if i click on play it starts to download from Icloud again and it does this each time

    hello i purchased a movie recently and it shows in my Itunes library but will not transfer to my ipod. It has the Icloud icon in the top right hand corner of the cover and if i click on play it starts to download from Icloud again and it does this each time i wish to play it, the same now happens to all my purcased movies which of course uses additional ISP download allowance. Before the recent update and lay out of Itunes this didn't happen i just purchased a movie and downloaded it then synced it to my ipod and enjoyed it. But now this latest movie purchase will not download to my ipod. I have sent the problem to Itumes and if  there is answer i havent received it. Appreciate any advice
    regards john

    Hello hotsone,
    You may need to download a lower resolution version of the movie in order for it to sync to your iPod.

  • HT201209 I have remaining credit at the iTunes Store, but will not let me use without a download code! That code was thrown away month ago, after downloading it. How can I use my unused credit $??

    I have remaining credit at the iTunes Store, but will not let me use without entering 'your Gift Card or Download Code' which, of course, was thrown away months ago, when I first put the code in! Originally it was put into my computer, now I'm trying to redeem on my iPhone. Anybody have any ideas....I mean it IS my money! Thanks Ruthie

    What you are saying does not make sense. You redeem a card once, that's it. It doesn't matter what device you are using, as long as it's using the same account, you will get the reminder of your store credits.
    Could you give more details now?

  • My phone keep asking me to sign in to itunes store and will not allow me to download apps. it sends a message saying "Cannot connect to itunes store" what do i do?

    my phone keep asking me to sign in to iTunes store and will not allow me to download apps. it sends a message saying "Cannot connect to itunes store" what do i do?

    Remember, any purchased item from the itunes store is forever associated with the Apple ID used to buy it.  So when you get prompted for an ID/password and it doesn't accept it, then you are using the wrong ID.
    Go to Settings>iTunes and App Stores, be sure it's logged into the ID you have set on the iphone (since that one seems to be connecting with the right ID).  If you've done this, then you might wait a bit to see if the "cannot connect to .. store" message has to do with internet connections.

    itunes 10.1 will not download because I can't get old apple application support off my windows XP. Help!

    (1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    (2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
    (3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
    (4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any Apple Software Update entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    Next, select any Bonjour entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    (5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install using an iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) downloaded from the Apple Website:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Does it go through properly this time?
