Purchase music - Download - Unknown Error

Hi,
Haveng bought some music using iTunes 7 (XP Pro, Dell Machine, network OK), the application is unable to download the bought music.
All it says is 'An unknown error has occured (-50). Any idea how to resolve this?
Network Diagnostics indicates all is OK.
Using iTunes 6 (Same machine, same config) I did never experience any problem downloading new tunes.

if you're getting that on a song download, see:

  • TS3297 problem downloading newly purchased music, "an unknown error occurred (8003") help

    I am having problems downloading newly purchased music, message response is "An unknow error occurred (8003)".  Does anyone know how to correct this error and enable downloading of music?

    Doublechecking. Have you tried 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?

  • When I attempt to upgrade an app in iTunes for windows, I get an error:  "Could not purchase.  An unknown error occurred (11111).  There was an error in the iTunes Store.  Please try again later"

    When I attempt to upgrade an app in iTunes for windows, I get an error:  "Could not purchase.  An unknown error occurred (11111).  There was an error in the iTunes Store.  Please try again later"
    I am running the latest iTunes 10.7.0.21 for Windows 7.
    This error occurs if I try to either update the app or if I delete it and attempt to redownload.
    I have an iPhone and an iPad.  I am unable to update the apps or install the apps from within the App Store on iOS.
    I do not have an AOL ID, as is a common issue with this type of error.
    From what I can tell, my Apple ID account seems fine.  I logged in, changed some information, and ensured my credit card is valid and updated.
    I can download new apps just fine.  I am unable to update or install apps I have purchased in the past.

    After 30 minutes this morning, no resolution. Then another tech support call this afternoon, 15 minutes in, was escalated to a Tier 2 (Senior) advisor. He said something similar to the above ("this is one of the strangest things I've seen"). He was chatted with iTunes guys and took all my info into the case and was escalating it over to engineering. Said they would be in touch.
    So, no solution...yet.
    Just to clarify:
    iTunes on Windows7: trying to update an existing app, or re-download a prior app, gives the (11111) error. Downloading a new (free) app worked fine.
    App Store on iPhone5, iOS 6.0.1: click on UPDATE, switches to INSTALLING...for a second, then switches back to UPDATE. No error message (and nothing in Diagnostic data).
    App Store on iPad 3, iOS 6.0.1: same as iPhone 5.
    Definitely account related.
    I have cleared the store cache, signed out and back in, deleted the credit card data, and re-added, rebooting PC and iPhone...nothing works.
    Will post if I hear anything back from Apple.

  • After install of 10.0 I get "unable to check for download , unknown error 3603

    after I installed ver 10 of Itunes,
    I get "unable to check for download , unknown error 3603"
    Now I can not get to my downloads at all

    Follow these instructions to completely remove Apple software

    Then use free Ccleaner to repeatly repair your registry until it's fixed.

    download iTunes again from Apple.
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/
    If you have 64bit Vista or Windows 7, look for the seperate download of iTunes for that further down the page.
    Once installed, use the Apple Software Update under your Start Menu to fully update all Apple components.
    Your content will remain on the drive in the Music > iTunes Folder, nothing is deleted.
    You should be making backups of your content regularly, either through iTunes or via copying the iTunesFolder in your Music folder to a external drive.

  • Problem with purchased music download

    I have a problem that has only just manifested itself.
    When I purchased a track yesterday the following error message appeared.
    Unable to check for purchases. An unknown error occurred (5002)
    Can any one please assist.
    Thanks
    Mesh Computer/ ipod 80 gig video   Windows XP  

    Error 5002 is a timeout error.
    - You may be trying to download at high traffic hours and your connection speed cannot handle it. (make sure you are using broadband)
    - Your computer's firewall or antivirus software may be interfering with the connection. If you have just recently installed upgardes to the iTunes software or your computer's security software, you may need to reconfigure it to allow access to the iTunes appliction. If configuring does not work, you will need to disable the firewall completely and then attempt to resume the download.
    Hope this helps!

    why wont my purchased music download from macbook to ipad? What checks should I make?

    Make sure that you are signed into the correct ID in Setting>iTunes and App Stores>Apple ID. If you use iTunes Match, you have to disable it on the iPad before you can sync your music.

  • Purchased Music Download... Frozen for over 12 hours!

    Album: Pinoy Ako
    Songs: 14
    Price: $9.99
    11:50PM - Purchased 2 Singles and Album with iTMS $15 card. Balance is now $0.90
    11:52PM - The 2 singles and 4 (out of 14) album songs downloaded. Downloading is frozen. I rebooted the computer, many times. Same result!
    iTunes displays, "Downloading 1 of 10 Laklak". Bar stopped at approximately 40%. Laklak is a 3 minute 9 second song! The bar does not move and no more songs are downloading.
    At around 2:30AM, I sent my FIRST E-Mail message to iTMS customer support, and got rewarded with an auto-reply letter. No human response!
    At around 7:30AM, I sent my SECOND E-Mail message to iTMS customer support, and got rewarded my second auto-reply letter. This time, I've asked for a refund... For 4 out of 14 songs purchased for $9.99+tax, I should be refunded $2.85+tax. Still no human response! I turned off the computer at 7:45AM.
    At 11:45AM, Seattle Local Time, I turned on the computer, and started up iTunes. Sure enough, iTunes offered to look for Purchased music, and surprise: "Downloading 1 of 10 Laklak" Downloading Bar permanently frozen at approximately 40%. The bar stops below the letter "w" in "Downloading".
    Balance is $0.90... $7.14 LOSS and NO Human Response from Apple!
    This album is on my dad's account. He is 70 Years Old, so I am configuring his iPod Shuffle. Unfortunately, iTunes Music Store gives a BAD impression to my 70 Year Old Father.
    I have written Apple, demanding the refund... Also, I have stated that I will NOT make any further purchases in iTMS unless I get a refund. I have purchased videos such as Law & Order SVU, Conviction, Blade, A-Team, and Knight Rider. I guess I paid Apple too much money to fill up my 30GB Video iPod.
    My Dad's computer is a Intel Mac Mini (Single Core) with iPod Shuffle.
    My computer is an iBook G4 with 30GB Video iPod.
    My internet connection is 5Mbps DSL. (A 3-minute song in iTMS should not take 12 hours to download!)
    Does anyone have a phone number to iTunes Music Store? Sending E-Mail to their customer support is wasting my time. (Allocated 2 hours, not 14 hours!) I plan to Snapshot the screen and post it on my .Mac web page, or better yet, make a podcast of the Frozen Download... Somebody in Apple must know that this was my 1st Album purchase and that I will start advertising Album downloading feature of iTunes is not stable. In fact, once a download is frozen, no other "Protected" downloads can happen.
    iTMS should charge ONLY when 100% of the music was successfully downloaded, not before. Can't buy anything for $0.90! Over the past 12 hours, I paid $2.01 for each of the 7 songs I have downloaded and they are NOT videos!
    Last time I had a frozen download was in April 2006... That only lasted about two (2) hours. And Apple responded to E-Mail within 30 minutes.
    Anyone have any ideas on how to get a refund from Apple?

    There is no phone number for the iTunes Music Store;
    the web form is the only contact. Give them a bit of
    time; you just contacted them late last night, and it
    often takes them 72 hours to respond. And their first
    response (once you get through the automated replies
    is very unlikely to be a refund; more likely they'll
    offer suggestions as to how to get the downloads to
    work.
    On that subject, here are a couple of things for you
    to check:
    - make sure that your father's system has the latest
    version of QuickTime and iTunes;
    - check to see if your father's system has any sort
    of download/web accelerator. Those almost always
    cause problems with the iTunes Music Store.
    and of course check with his Internet service
    provider to make sure they're not having router
    problem, as has sometimes been the case (one recent
    one in, I believe, Canada caused all sorts of problem
    for iTMS users and it wasn't Apple's fault at all).
    Good luck getting it all sorted out.
    My Dad's Computer: intel Mac Mini (Single Core)
    Before starting up iTunes on my dad's computer, I had to remove his expired .Mac account and perform a software upgrade to 10.4.7. The computer had all the software updates performed by 11pm Tuesday night. His account is a regular account and my account on the computer is an Admin account.
    iTunes 6.0.5 (20) on the Intel Mac Mini. Software Update says there are no more software updates.
    My dad's iTMS account is a different account from what I am using. I use my iBook G4 right next to my dad's Mac Mini. Both computers are running iTunes. Both computer have fast connections through 5Mbps DSL.
    On my dad's computer, I have the Apple firewall disabled and the DSL router configured as DMZ to that computer. iTMS fails to download everything that was purchased.
    Considering that the firewalls are not the problem, I restored the firewalls.
    On my iBook G4, my iTunes work fine, I can download the Free stuff from iTMS. I will not make a purchase until my Dad's iTMS account gets all the songs.
    On the Mac Mini, another song downloaded after restarting iTunes three more times.
    I think there is a BUG within iTunes... It does NOT timeout and does NOT display any errors. Also, there is NO way to skip a song and have it download later. The downloading sequence is permanent, set by the billing computer.
    The downloads stop at the same point, the bar stops just below the "w" in "Downloading".
    I wont have my dad's computer for too much longer... If I don't get any resolutions BEFORE my dad gets his computer back, I will just DISABLE iTMS on his iTunes, because this Apple problems are too much for a 70 year old man to deal with. I will teach him how to rip CD music into iTunes and have him put the music onto his iPod Shuffle.
    In the Business World, TIME is precious... 72 hours can make or break a deal. In this matter, the Lack of Customer Support in a timely fashion can mean the Loss of another Customer. --- Maybe, by the time Apple does respond, I will answer them, "I fixed the problem and stopped using iTunes Music Store. We are now getting music by ripping audio CDs."

  • Error Message: Problem Downloading unknown error (-50)

    I recently purchased an album by Ulrich Schnauss - A Strangely Isolated Place. Everything downloaded except one song - "Blumenthal". The message says an unknown error occured.
    I repeatedly try to doenload the song but it will not download.

  • Music Download "Network Error"; Never Received

    I purchased several songs from the iTunes Music Store. While the songs were being downloaded, there was a dialog saying a "Network Error" had occurred. The last song of the group was not in Purchased Music or my Shopping Cart. I Checked for Purchases under the Advanced menu, and it says "All purchased music has been downloaded" but the song is not there. When I tried to download it again, I was told I had already purchased the song and would have to buy it again if I still wanted to download it.
    This has never happened to me before. What's going on and how do I get credit for the second download I had to buy to actually get the song?
    This is in iTunes 6.0.1.

  • Purchased music downloaded partial music half of a song

    Not getting full music download, getting 1/2 songs

    Assuming you are in a region where you are allowed to redownload your past purchases, delete the current copies from your iTunes library, go to the iTunes Store home page, click the Purchased link from the Quick Links section in the right-hand column, then select Music and Not on this computer. You should find download links for your tracks there.
    If the problem persists, or that facility is not yet available in your region, contact the iTunes Store support staff through the report a problem links in your account history, or via Contact Support.

  • Could not purchase "". An unknown error has occurred (5002). Assistance Please?

    I am trying to purchase itunes but this unknown error (5002) keeps appearing, no matter how many times I try to restart it.
    Note I am unable to select device or oporating system so here they are:
    Product: ITunes
    Operating System: Windows 7
    Can anyone please help?

    I am having this same problem. It just started today but I can't even get iTunes to open.

  • I am suddenly unable to make purchases. Receiving unknown error code.

    For no obvious reason when I sign into Itunes Store to purchase a track I have started to receive the following message just after signing in
    "We could not complete your ITunes Store request. An unknown error occurred (-9808) There was an error in the itunes store. Please try later."
    I have checked that my internet connection is set up as per the support manuals,but have made no changes to the system and was able to purchase last week.
    Any suggestions?

    Yes, check your signal routing on your instrument track. You can always go into the Environment and check it there. Also make sure to read the "Getting Started Guide" for Logic Pro 7. Then you can buy all the Britney Spears dance tracks you know and love.
