Unknown error (-50) when downloading a movie in iTunes.

Any advice is appreciated!
I redeemed a code in the iTunes store to download my digital copy of Les Mis. I paused the downloads (movie & extras) overnight and the next day the extras wouldn't download again because of the -50 error. The movie continued downloading with no problems. Last night my laptop decided to restart (something updated) and this morning when I went to my downloads it said I have 2 available - great! EXCEPT, neither one will download. It says it can't access the iTunes Store because of error -50. HELP?!

Yeah this "fix" is bunk. The movie is downloading just fine, but the extra features is the one giving me this error code. It is NOT my firewall. If it was, then both files wouldn't download. Plus, I already have the firewall "issue" tacked down and fixed. Have had it fixed for months now. No, this is due to the "new" itunes version 11 software. The only conclusion to fix this issue is UPgrading from 11 back to 10.7 which is what I am going to do. This is completely ridiculous! Come on, Apple, get itunes working once and for all, and fire the people responsible for itunes 11, just like you did to the guy who was responsible for apple maps. Thankfully Google came back to the rescue with google maps app.

iTunes Store: Error (-50) when downloading purchased videos
Last Modified on: April 24, 2007
Article: 303887
Symptom
The following alerts may appear when trying to download purchased videos from the iTunes Store:
"There was an error downloading your purchased music. An unknown error occurred (-50)."
This can happen when the connection timeout occurs while downloading purchased video content from the iTunes Store.
Products affected
iTunes Store
iTunes for Windows
iTunes for Mac OS X
Purchased video content
Solution
Deleting the cached video files of the download, and starting the download again from the beginning, often will resolve this issue.
To find the cached video downloads:
Navigate to the downloads folder on your system. This folder can be found in the following locations:
Mac:
~/Music/iTunes/iTunes Music/Downloads
Note: The tilde (~) refers to your Home directory.
Windows Vista:
\Users\username\Music\iTunes\iTunes Music\Downloads\
Windows XP and 2000:
\Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Music\Downloads\
Locate the folder that contains the cached video file for this purchase.
In Windows Vista, the folder will be named for the purchased video, and the name will end with .tmp.
Example: The Dundies.tmp
In Windows XP and Windows 2000, the folder will be named for the purchased video, and the name will end with .m4v.tmp.
Example: The Dundies.m4v.tmp
Move the .tmp folder for the affected purchased video to the Trash or Recycle Bin.
Open iTunes.
From the Store menu, choose Check for Purchases.
Enter your account name and password and click the Check button.

I get an unknown error (-50) when downloading movies from iTunes

When I download a movie or TV show from iTunes, it starts downloading like normal, then the "time remaining" starts ticking up rapidly. Sometimes it keeps downloading, and then starts over suddenly, but eventually it always leads me to the (-50) unknown error. It also charges me for the movie/TV show. Any ideas how to fix it?

I have a 30g Video Ipod and I have been having
problems with it trying to syn up. I downloaded the
Vista update for it and still no syncing but when I
tried to update the Ipod I got this message.
Ipod cannot be updated. An unknown error occured
(-50).
If anyone knows what this means and possibly could
give me help with it, I would appreciate it very much.
Same thing happened to me last night. It was right after I DL the update given by apple for Windows Vista. I just closed everything restarted my computer and tried again and it worked. Just that now all my Album Artwork is messed up. I'm listening to Fall Out Boy and I get the artwork for Grey's Anatomy Podcast. Weird. I have no idea how to fix it either.

HT1725 How do I fix, "Download error." when downloading a movie to my iPad?

I started to downloaded a movie but now get and error when trying to resume. On ITunes it says "downloading" when it clearly isn't. I am also unable to delete the download in the download tab on ITunes. Please help.

I found a SAP note, that is exactly what I expected, and now it is solved.

Error 9006 when downloading rented movie

The subject basically says it all. I have been downloading movies from itunes for years but the last one I tried has been unsuccessful. The download is slower than normal and after 20-30 MB of the movie downloads, it stops, loses all progress and gives me an error 9006 and says to restart the download. I have messed with all my firewalls and configurations to allow for improved results but so far nothing has worked. Any advice or help is greatly appreciated. Thanks

I was having the same error 9006 trying to download a rented movie on iTunes. I read on another board it might have something to do with Internet Explorer 8 and iTunes using the same downloader. My Explorer 8 had recently quit working but I didn't care because I use Firefox. However, I then started getting the 9006 error on iTunes. On Windows 7 you have to go to the control panel. Click on "uninstall a program", in the uninstall window go to the left column and click on "Turn Window features on or off", this will open another window with the Windows features check marked. Uncheck Internet Explorer, then restart your computer. After it restarts, go back to the uninstall programs feature again and click "Turn Window features on or off", put a check mark next to Internet Explorer and restart the computer again. This fixed the problem with Internet Explorer and iTunes started the download without any errors popping up.

Error code when downloading a movie, tap to retry many times.already paid

Can not download a movie purchased and paid for. Will load for a short time but then tap to retry. Plenty of space available

No specific code. My network is very reliable, and this is my first time downloading a movie. Not happy. Paid for this and now have been trying to download this movie for 4 days. Preparing for a long flight.

Unknown Error 13019 when syncing Iphone 4 with Itunes

Hello. I used to have absolutely no problem syncing podcasts/music/videos with my phone. Then one day, my friend came over with his ipod and synced with my library and now it no longer allows me to change those 3 things. It will backup my phone just fine as well as allow me to update my ringtones and update my apps, but I always get that unknown error 13019 right before it finishes syncing and it won't update my library with any changes to music/podcasts/movies.
I've tried reinstalling and that doesn't fix it. Any help would be fine. Also, the media I had on my phone prior to my friend syncing his ipod stays on my phone to this day, I just can't add to it or change it in anyway.
Thanks in advance

How do you fix "Unknown error [4310]" when burning CD's from iTunes??

When I try to burn an audio CD (CD-R) from itunes, it cancells the burning after the first song. It gives a message that says-
Attempt to burn disc failed. Unknown error occured [4310]. Does anybody know how to fix this? I would really appreciate it. Thanks.
premio Windows XP Pro pentium 4; 1.6 mhz

That particular error, 4310, has no hits in the search I did.
Can you burn with any other program?
You might have better luck in the Importing & Burning in iTunes for Windows forums
http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=791
There are some clever people over there that are familiar with more burning hardware than I am.
