Unknown error (-50). Cannot dowload

I just bought a TV episode through iStore and it started downloading, so I started watching it. About half way through the download stopped with error (-50) saying an unknown error occured. I have tried a couple of times in the last few days to download and it won't.
I did nothing to cause it to stop as I was watching the video. I have a very solid 15mBps connection.
Help please because at the moment I have paid for somthing I can't get at.

Perhaps try 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:

  • Unknown Error 4300, cannot burn disk in iTunes

    Good morning,
    I am having the problem of not being able to burn a disc in iTunes. I am getting the message of unknown error (4300). It acts like it's burning then I get that message.
    I have did set the properties in my computer to burn audio disk and also unchecked includ cd text in iTunes in the burn options as suggested on another thread.
    Any other suggestions?
    TIA,
    Blondie

    Hey there,
    I am also having the same problem. I recently upgraded my system from an AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual-Core 3800+ and Asus A8N-E motherboard to an Intel Core-Duo E8400 and Asus P5Q motherboard. The DVD drive, an LG GSA 4167b, is the same. iTunes itself runs much smoother now, but for some reason will not burn CDs (unknown error 4300). This is curious, as I have burned many CDs with this drive using iTunes on my old system. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling as well as removing and old version (4) of a Nero Suite I had kicking around. I cannot seem to find a list of iTunes error codes anywhere and there does not seem to be any real answers to this error code. Yes, the drive is plugged in properly (sATA)
    thanks very much!

  • When using my new password, I get unknown error and cannot access the app store. help?

    When trying to use my latest password, I get unknown error on my mac air and cannot get accesss to download Lion,
    Ugh, after spending an hour at Genius downloading Leopard so I could come home nad download Lion,
    Help?

    What you are telling me is contradictory information. So you will have to start over and give us proper details. One can not download Leopard for example. Or even Snow Leopard.
    Can you also give me a screen shot showing me this exact error message on your system?

  • No matter what I do I cannot restore ipod classic. Ipod is corrupt with unknown error 1439.cannot restore the ipod Have tried all options but . can anyone help?

    I recently bought a second-hand ipod classic.  When connecting to itunes the message reads that the ipod is corrupt and needs to be restored to factory settings.  However, this does not solve the issue and I get the message saying unable to restore, unknown error 1439.  No matter what i have tried through apple support i get the same result.  My computer runs Windows XP but I have also tried on my laptop which operates Vista and still no joy.  Anyone able to solve this one?

    Normally unknown error is due to timeout, cause by
    connected to slow USB port at the front of the PC, or using USB Hubs - Better connect to the USB HUb at the back of the PC. (Some Laptop, has only one High Power -USB2.0 port
    USB resource low, due to sharing of other USB devices - Disconnect all other USB devices when Restoring.
    Winsocks conflict with iTunes - Disconnect Internet and Stop firewall and Antivirus, emails apps.
    Your hardisk is dying, read this earlier post by tt2.

    This wont solve your problem. but is very helpful in troubleshooting.
    It would also help, if you can state
    Which version of iTunes are your running?
    What is your iPod software version as shown in the iTunes summary page?
    Have a nice day!

  • Unknown error?  Cannot download anything

    I am unable to download, update anything with the app store.  I am running OS 10.7.5 on a mac book pro, I owe nothing on my account and all of my OS software is up to date.  I also get an error message "There was an error in the App Store. Please try again later. (7)"  I have inquired with apple support and was given not too much of an answer.  I have a suspicion that this error may have to do with my permissions and the app store cannot write to its root folder.   So i repaired my permissions and still nothing..... I am on the verge of just taking my mac pro to the apple store and have them take a look.  Anyone have any suggestions? 

    Sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
    1. Settings>Store>Apple ID.
    2. Tap your ID and sign out.
    3. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off.
    4. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Go back to Settings>Store>Sign in and then try to download again.

  • How can you get your music synced from iTunes to your iPod when a window pop ups on the screen saying"The iPod "Edward's iPod" cannot be synced. An unknown error occured (13019))?

    I had 429 songs already on my iPod Touch. When I was in the process of syncing a song from my iTunes Library on to my iPod, a window popped up on the screen saying, ""The iPod "Edward's iPod" cannot be synced. An unknown error occured (13019)). I click "Device" on my iTunes Library to make sure the song was in my iPod. It showed the song that was recently synced now listed under "Device", but when I physically looked for the song on my iPod Touch, it does not appear on there at all. It all started when I decided to put a Playlist I created in the iTunes Library and transferred it on to my iPod. Do you know why it may affected my syncing process and is there any way where I could get the syncing function back to normal so that I can continue adding songs on my iPod? Thank you for listening.    P.S. My iPod iOS version is 4.3.5.

    That is either going to be a hardware failure or your phone is jailbroken and something has gone awry with the baseband.

  • Can somebody help me in finding a solution or an explanation to the problem I am currently experiencing as well as others wherein we cannot connect to the iTunes store (iTunes could not connect to the store. An unknown error occurred (0x80096004))?

    Can somebody help me in finding a solution or an explanation to the problem I am currently experiencing as well as others wherein we cannot connect to the iTunes store. An error message appears and either says "iTunes could not connect to the store. An unknown error occurred (0x80096004). Make sure your network connection is active and try again" or "iTunes could not connect to the store.Make sure your network connection is active and try again." Despite the fact that my network connection is working quite fine, this problem still persists. I can say that my connection is fine because I can surf the internet and furthermore, I used to connect to the iTunes store just before this incident happened which started from April 17, 2014 and persists until today. I tried to solve the problem by following the troubleshoot procedures given in the support section of this site but it really did not solve the problem. I believe that others are experiencing this situation as well very similar to mine when it comes to the time of occurrence as I have read in the discussions in this site. Even though we have different network connections, operating systems and other specifications, we still experience the same problem, so is there really a problem with our computers or is it with the iTunes? And by the way, my computer works under Windows XP. Thanks a lot. God bless.

    Try this...
    Triple click anywhere in the line below to select it and press Ctrl+C to copy it.
    cmd /k netsh winsock reset
    Press the WinLogoKey+R to open the run dialog, then Ctrl+V to paste, then press enter/return.
    You should get something similar to this:
    Reboot the computer and the problem should be resolved.
    If it doesn't work then perhaps a full tear down and rebuild of iTunes will fix things. See Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates for details.
