Trouble being unable to download movies

Hi, I have successfully downloaded movies from itunes for a while now. However, tonight when I tried to download two separate movies, I received the following errors:
There was a problem downloading the movie. Part of the files seems to be corrupted.
Or — There was a problem downloading “Our Idiot Brother / Jesse Peretz”. An unknown error occurred (-50).
Please check that the connection to the network is active and try again.
I have updated my itunes. And tried tons of different ways to download the movies, but nothing is working. I was able to successfully download a song. Any suggestions?

Same exact problem:
"An unknown error occurred (-50).
Please check that the connection to the network is active and try again."
I tried express lane support, but I just get some form response form Apple with links to general support threads.

TS1424 ipad: Rental movie downloaded 98%.. "unable to download movie" error

Good Afternoon,
I purchased a rental movie to watch on a plane ride today. Unfortunately the movie hadn't finished downloading before I left the house. I've tried 3 or 4 different internet connections (including verified very fast connections at the hotel and starbucks) and I get the "unable to download movie" error.
I can't find a way to delete the rental to try and start the download over, nor does syncing help. Please assist!
thank you,

TS1424 Unable to download movie

I rented the movie drive when a was only holiday, so I could watch on plane on way home on iPad, but didn't download so a just thought it was because ai was abroad, I'm now home and when I click on retry download it says unable to download movie. Can someone help me please

Same problem here. It downloads about 3/4 of the movie and then says unable to download movie. I can't delete the pending download and it is taking up over 4 GB of space on my phone! Whether it is from insufficient memory or not Apple needs to implement a way to delete a pending download.

TS1566 Unable to download movie

I keep getting an error when I try to download a movie that I purchased. Any thoughts? I've already tried powering off the iPad.

Thanks for reply. I can rent the movie on iTunes just fine and it shows at first that it is downloading in my videos app and in the iTunes downloads bucket. However when you go to videos it shows the icon of the movie and when you click on it and then play it will show a pop up message that "unable to download movie". Done/retry. You cannot edit the movie either to delete it.

I am unable to download movies, MPG, WMV, etc. with Safari. Why? Any solutions?

I am unable to download MPG, WMV,MPEG,etc, movies from the web when I am using Safari. Chrome works fine. Is there something in Safari that has to be adjusted or disabled to make it work?

There is some anecdotal evidence that the scripts on the Apple site that are supposed to detect the version of Windows you are running may fail for some users - jumping straight to the "Thank you for downloading ..." page with the installer not having been downloaded. As an alternative, you can go directly to the relevant downloads:
iTunes 12.1.0.71 for Windows (32-bit) - itunessetup.exe
iTunes 12.1.0.71 for Windows (64-bit) - itunes6464setup.exe
There is an alternative downloader for 64-bit editions of Windows here:
iTunes 12.1 for Windows (64-bit — for older video cards)
that seems to address the playback issues that some users have been reporting with the full 64-bit version (the alternative installer here is the same architecture as most previous "64-bit" versions of iTunes, i.e., a 32-bit application with a 64-bit installer). The "for older video cards" reference does not seem to fully define the scope of systems for which this alternative works better.
See turingtest2's notes on Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates for more details if you're still having problems with installation.

HT201272 Unable to download movies to IPad

I can't download movies to new IPAD and also IPhone 4 from iTunes . What am I doing wrong

Are you trying to download or re-download them ? If re-download, then films can currently only be re-downloaded in the US (and not all film studios are allowing their films to be re-downloaded). If you are trying to download films for the first time then are you getting any error messages ?

Troubles while trying to download movie files from Rapidshare

Hi everybody,
I just installed SL and it works like a charm.
The only trouble I'm encountering is when I try to download a movie file from Rapidshare using Safari.
It seems that new Quicktime X bypass the Rapidshare page (the regular one that gives you two options: free user / member user) and it downloads directly the file, interpretating the rapidshare url like a normal one and adding a html extension to the original file once downloaded.
Downloaded file is clearly corrupted and useless.
I noticed this issue just with avi/mpg/wmv etc. files (no zip, rar and other extensions.
It's quite frustrating and I don't want switch to Firefox.
Thanks in advance to everybody will help
Best

I'm downloading a wmv file from Rapidshare.
I can play any wmv/mpg/avi file from other sites as Quicktime X works fine.
I think this issue is just related to Rapidshare url's.
IE: when I go to an url like this "rapidshare.com/855839383/file.wmv", Safari switches directly to Quicktime player (skipping RS download options) and, since the file isn't correctly downloaded, appears the quicktime logo with a "?" inside.

HT201318 I purchased more storage, and it shows on my iPad. However I am unable to download movies I purchased. Help?

I purchased additional storage on my iPad 2 and it shows that I now have it, however I am not able to download new movies. Help?

Error - Unable to download movie

I rented a movie via iTunes on my PC. Once the download was complete I could see a new section of my library titled "Rentals". When I select "Rentals" I can see the movie.
I plugged my iPad into my PC via a USB.
The iPad shows up under "Devices".
I dragged the movie from the "rentals" in my library to my iPad. After a few minutes an error message told me it could not download the movie. I clicked OK.
The movie is not on my iPad when I open the Videos App.
From my PC when I select the iPad under "Devices" and then select "Movies" it says it is on "My iPad". If I click Delete it moves it back to "Rented Movies" but when I click Apply it asks if I want to put this movie on my iPad again I will need to rent it again.
Where is the movie? How can I load it on my iPad without renting it again?

HT4539 Unable to download movies previously purchased under I-tunes

My I-tunes shows 4 movies that I bought, however when I go under videos it says that there are no videos. When I go under I-tunes it only allows me to download one of the videos (the other ones, the download symbol it's grey out) After it says it downloaded that one video, it still doesn't show under videos

What instructions are your using ?
Depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be redownloaded in all), and if you haven't changed countries since buying it (and if the rights-holder hasn't removed it from your country's store), then you might be able to redownload it via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage on your Mac's iTunes. If you haven't authorised your account on your Mac's iTunes then you can do so via the Store > Authorise This Computer drop-down menu option at the top of your Mac's screen in iTunes.
Or, and if you still have the music on your iPad, connect it to your Mac and do File > Devices > Transfer Purchases to copy it over

Unable to download movies (100008)

I am having problems downloading a movie. When it reaches the end of the download a message comes up stating that the file seems to be corrupt. Beside the file download of the application it idicates error 100008.
I've tried this twice now! Does trying again help?
I am running Windows 2000 sp4 with 512 megs of RAM. The version of iTunes is 7.0
This is my first purchase of a movie and I find it rather frustrating!

There are two ways that I know of, one easy and one a real pain. They way I did it was to simply go to add/delete programs through the control panel. I found the Network Access Manager by Nvidia and removed it. If you have problems you may also have to use the Microsoft install clean up utility available through Microsoft in the downloads page.
If you track the program integration you will find that even while disabeled, the network access manager is linked to iTunes, IE explorer and Outlook. There have also been reports of this firewall causing problems with large file downloads. I was having problems on occasion with large file downloads. Now that I have removed it those problems have been cleared up as well.
Worst case scenario would be to reinstall Windows XP and when it asks to load the Nvidia drivers for your mobo do not chose to accept the Nvidia firewall.
If you do remove your firewall protection make sure to load another firewall program. I use McAfee and it is not giving me any problems with iTunes, or Zonealarm provides a free firewall that I have used in the past with good results, and hay Kim Komando recommends it so it has to be good, right?

Unable to download movies (mp4) after upgrade to leopard

After upgrading to Snow Leopard 10.6.8 I have not been able to download any more movies.
I save link to desktop and the format line says: Quicktime Player D. But after downloading here is the message upon trying to open movie:
"The document “FIRST AID KIT BASICS MOVIE 18-52-52” could not be opened. QuickTime Player cannot open files in the “data” format."
I did update Quicktime - had a bunch of other issues with other programs after upgrading operating system but those are all taken care of now. This remains my only problem.
Found a solution suggesting to update Flip4mac which I did. Now I get “the document.....could not be opened. The movie is not in a format that QuickTime Player understands."
Thanks.
Nancy

Do you have enough storage space left on the iPad in order to download the movie?
Do you have restrictions enabled? Settings>General>Restrictions>On Then set to Off.
Are you signed into the correct account on the iPad using the correct Apple ID?
Are you trying to download over 3G? There is a 20MB download limit with 3G.

Unable to download movie

Ipad will let me select the move to rent but will then not allow the download? Suggestions?

Depending upon how large of a file that the movie is - 90 minutes to download it would not suggest that your Internet connection is too slow. I think that maybe a firewall or antivirus software could be causing the problem. You could try turning them of until the movie fully downloads.
With regard to the specific error message that you received - I'm sorry but I am not a Windows user. But see if this discussion and the suggested fix is something that you thing that you might be able to try. It's an older thread - but you may be able to apply the suggestion to your situation.
