Try downloading the songs from a different device. If you are doing it from your iOS device, try form your computer.

Error Message when open iTunes -42032. What can I do?

Error Message when open iTunes -42032. What can I do?

Try 2 solutions: 1. Press both Ctrl and Shift keys then double click on ITunes. Hold keys down until a box appears on screen indicating ITunes is starting in "safe mode'. left click on 'continue" and ITunes will run without closing.
2; Start ITunes normally, then after loading, choose "Match" and then touch "stop" beforre step 3 , Uploading songs...", runs for more than a few seconds. The code problems are in Match; the uploading function in Match. ITunes won't crash if you stop Match soon enough!

Anyone getting an unknown error 4010 when launching iTunes Match?

Never had any problems with iTunes Match until the last week. Now whenever I open iTunes and Match starts to update it gets stuck once it starts "sending data to apple." A warning pops up and says "unknown error 4010." I also downloaded an album and when I synced it to my iPhone all the songs were on there twice. Never had any problems with Apple or iTunes before, but lately I've had nothing but frustrations. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Steven

Unfortunately getting the same problem as yourself although I've just purchased Itunes Match yesterday and haven't even seen it work. Wondering if i have just wasted my money! I've tried the option/turn off itunes match but even that doesnt work. wondering if I just need to give it a bit more time.

Error message when opening iTunes after updating Windows 8.1

I recently updated my windows software to 8.1. Now I am getting a message that iTunes stopped responding and must close. I tried to uninstall and reinstall iTunes but that has not fixed the problem. I cannot get iTunes to open. There is no error number when this dialogue box opens.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hello Socestlavie,
It sounds like iTunes is not opening correctly and is quitting on launch. I would troubleshoot the iTunes launch issues with the following article to help resolve the issue:
iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8: Fix unexpected quits or launch issues
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1717
First attempt starting iTunes in Safe Mode to see if the issue persists, and proceed accordingly.
Start iTunes in Safe Mode
Open iTunes in Safe Mode to isolate any interference from plug-ins or scripts not manufactured by Apple.
Hold down Shift–Control while opening iTunes. You should see a dialog that says "iTunes is running in safe mode" before iTunes finishes starting up.
Click Continue.
See if the issue you're experiencing persists in Safe Mode.
If you have the same issue while iTunes is in Safe Mode, proceed to the "Create a new user account" section. If you don't experience the same issue, follow these steps to remove third-party plug-ins.
If it comes down to reinstalling iTunes, there is an article provided that will uninstall iTunes AND its associated softwares for a complete wipe, and reinstall, so I would try that one more time, if needed.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Sterling

I recently updated to latest iTunes and now my pc freezes. I have a Tosiba 32bit running Windows Vista. Itunes will no longer connect to the store and I get error 42408 when opening ITunes. Please help!!

When I open iTunes I get the error message 42408.
I have googled and tried various solutions including
- uninstalling, downloading and reinstalling. I have done that about 5 times.
- sending the desktop icon to the rubbish bin and recreating a shortcut.
- de-authorising the audible account. My computer goes thru the de- authorisation process and says that the account is deauthorised then when I go to re-authorise under Advanced all that is showing is to de-authorise the account. Weird.
- contacted a tech guy locally and he has no clue. He's thinking it's probably a conflicting software problem. Obviously.
I have to uninstall the iTunes program just so I can use the internet as the new version slows/freezes everything and makes doing anything on my computer ridiculous.
Everything on my computer runs fine when Itunes is uninstalled. Great. not.
I would appreciate some further guidance as unfortunately iTunes seems to have complete control over my life. LOL! Basically if iTunes fails the rest follows... It's a dominoe effect...

Update:
I contacted Apple Support and they agreed to waive the $40.00 tech support charge this one time which was very nice condsidering their update caused major problems with my computer. I realise I don't have to accept the updates but when they are released world wide to the public I do expect them to work relatively smoothly.
To cut a long story short after following the tech support advice and uninstalling and reinstalling itunes 10.5 for the seventh time and more than a week of going in circles and days spent away from my business trying to fix the problem - I gave up. Because, as a non computer geek, (no offense - I think cg's are amazing) what I need is a functioning computer and phone to run my business that can be both relied on - all the time. That is what I paid for and expected when I bought Apples' very smart iPhone - I did not expect to be plagued by an update to a program that causes chaos for over 7 days. (And to be frank I've had problems with iTunes for the whole time I have been using it. From importing cd's to purchasing problems. gah!)
I may be one tiny person in a very large universe but I believe a certain standard can and should be expected when handing over hard earned cash to a company with a good reputation.
I'm very disappointed with Apple.
Unfortunatley they have lost a customer...
This is how I fixed the problem:
Yesterday I bought a new smartphone - the Samsung Galaxy phone uses the Android Market and the Kies program. The phone is as good as if not better than the iPhone. The Kies program runs very smoothly on my computer. Downloading Apps is a breeze. My new phone is about the same size as the iPhone and a tad lighter.
Problem solved!
As a side note - I will now save about $250.00 per year on my new prepaid phone plan with Boost compared to staying with my previous post-paid plan. I also get unlimited standard national calls in Australia plus unlimited texting too! Not bad for $40.00 a month.
While this solution worked for me it may not suit everybody.

"unknown error" message when opening a document in my brokerage account it opens in Safari.

when I try to open my statement documents in my brokerage account, I get this message: "/Users/peg/Downloads/showDocument-21.do could not be opened, because an unknown error occurred. Try saving to disk first and then opening the file."
The website works fine, just can't get statements to open in PDF. Other site PDF files open fine and these particular statements open fine with Safari. I have Adobe Reader 9.0

Thanks for the response, Peter! I always save my documents centered and on Page 1, so this is really baffling for me.
Also I think I would go crazy using the Application Frame after years of working with floating frames. There has to be some way...

Error message when opening itunes; won't update or uninstall itunes

a few months ago, i downloaded the new version of itunes and safari together. once downloaded, my computer restarted and wouldn't turn back on. i repeatedly attempted to run my computer but, once it was turned back on, it just stayed on a solid black screen. finally, and by some random occurrence, my computer came back on and ran normally with one exception, i got an error message every time i tried to open itunes. when i click on itunes to open it, i get a message that says "this action is only valid for products that are installed" itunes is most certainly installed on my computer. i then tried to reinstall the new version of itunes, but it tells me it can't locate itunes.msi. and i get the same message when i try to uninstall it.
i tried to go through my OS (C:), then program files, and then right-click on itunes and delete it, but i constantly get a message that says "permission is required" so i select try again.
i also tried to download the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility, but that too gives me an error message when i try to run it.
i'm hopeless! pleeeeeease help me.

i also tried to download the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility, but that too gives me an error message when i try to run it.
Is that an 800A0046 error, megan?
If so, can you get CleanUp to install if you do a run as administrator, as per the following document?
[Error "800A0046 - Permission Denied" when installing the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility in Windows Vista|http://www.winhelponline.com/articles/170/1/Error-800A0046---Permission-D enied-when-installing-the-Windows-Installer-Cleanup-Utility-in-Windows-Vista.htm l]
If you're getting a different error message from CleanUp, let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

Error message when opening iTunes and Mail

I'm running OS X 10.6.8 on a Mac Book.
Since the recent 'hack' reports, I subsequently changed my Apple Password.
Since then, when I open iTunes I get the error message:
"You are signed in with a different Apple ID than previously used with podcsts. Do you want to sunc these podcast subscriptions and stations with <my e-mail address>?
If you chose to sync then these podcasts and stations will be merged with any that have been syncing on other devices or computers.""
If I click the highlighted blue 'Sync' button, it does sync, but it's frustrating that I always get the error message. Why is this happening?
Also, when trying to use Gmail, I now get the error message:
"Enter Password for Account GMail.
Enter the password for user <my g-mail address> on POP server imap.gmail.com"
Neither my old or new password allows me to use Mail. Can anyone help?
Thanks

An unknown error-can't open iTunes

iTunes wont launch..."an unknown error has occurred" but when I log off my name on my mac and enter guest, iTunes comes up and runs no problem. I tried disk utility and still no good. Getting an iPhone for fathers day...but need itunes. Can anyone help?

The -50 in that context can indicate damage to your Apple Application Support. (Apple Application Support is where single copies of program files used by multiple different Apple programs are stashed.) So I'd first try a repair install of your Apple Application Support.
Restart the PC.
If you've got XP: head into your Add or remove programs control panel, select Apple Application Support, click "Change" and then click "Repair".
If you've got Vista or 7: Head into your Uninstall a program control panel, select "Apple Application Support", and click "Repair".
Does the repair install go through okay? If so, does your iTunes start launching again?
