Unknown Error 50 won't let me access iTunes, what's going on?

Whenever I launch iTunes a box shows up saying "We could not complete your iTunes Store request. The network connection was refused." and "Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active, then try again.". My internet connection is working and I can go to the iTunes Store hompage through iTunes, but when it comes to redeeming a giftcard, purchasing a song, viewing my account etc. (pretty much anything I try to do) the error box pops back up again. What's wrong and how do I fix it?

i have the exact same issue and am wondering that myself

Unknown error (-45054) won't let me spend!

Does anyone know what "We could not complete your iTunes Store request. An unknown error occurred (-45054)" actually means - and how I go about resolving I'm trying to make a purchase and this error is making me save my money!

It's usually caused by the wrong permissions on folders that iTunes uses, or not having write access for them. Try repairing disk permissions in Disk Utility : https://discussions.apple.com/message/23478840
If that doesn't fix it then try the suggestion a few posts down on that thread by the same poster (wmark)

Unknown error that won't let me log in

I downloaded Elements 10, opened it, signed in, and now I'm stuck at "Your Account" page that is asking me to update my account to move foward. It wants me to fill out my birthday, URL, and 2 check boxes. I did all of that and it won't let me move forward but says, "Failure. An error occurred, and your changes were not saved." I tried to click cancel to by-pass the update to move on but it logged me out. I have used photoshop before but not on this computer and just uploaded it to my computer it a few weeks ago. What should I do?

use a different browser or delete your adobe.com cookies and try again.

I am having the same issues with my Dell Laptop. I am running Windows Vista Home Premium 64 Bit addition with SP2 installed. This issue has been since I got this computer months ago.
I have checked/disabled firewall, symantec end point version 11, deleted the host file, used the msconfig procedures, uninstalled all of the apple/itunes programs in the recommended order. flushed the DNS cache, verified that no proxy server is being selected, and just about everything else I can think of doing with no change in the status.
The computer is fully patched through Microsoft update. I am also using iTunes v9.0.3.15.
I am using a linksys router which uses NAT. But this issue did work on my old computer with Windows Vista Home Basic eddition. So the only thing that has changed is the new computer with the differant version of Vista Home.
I have been researching this issue on and off for a couple of months with no sollution.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Apple TV won't let me access itunes store

I type in my correct password but can't access itunes store. I have subscribed to itunes match an it works on my other devices.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
First you should try logging out of your iTunes Store account (settings > iTunes Store > accounts) and then back in again.
If that doesn't help, try resetting the Apple TV (Settings > General > Reset > Reset all settings). You should also try restarting your router.
If both of the above don't help, you should try a restore (Settings > General > Reset > Restore).

J6480 Ink Cartridge Door Hinges Broke. Door Open error message won't let me print. What can I do?

Have always been very careful with cartridge & scanner doors. Pressing OK doesn't remove error message. Broken hinges will no longer go down, so Door Open message won't go away and preventing printing.

The problem is the spring tension used to hold the cover open is stronger than the poorly designed weak hinges.
The way I solved it was to break both the hinges, (pretty easy to do just open and close the cover a few times), lift the cover up being carefull not to break the ribbon cable (wires) from the cover to the base. Then I pryed out the lower spring plates, these are located in the hinge assembly of the printer and removed the black plastic plunger and the large springs below it from both hinges. The cover wil now stay closed and allow you to print. You just have to be careful when changing the print cartridges as the cover can open too far now and possibly break the wires going to the top cover.
Happy Printing

Quicktime error that won't let me use iTunes

I have used an iPod video 60GB since Dec 2005 with Windows XP Pro. Recently, my Quicktime Pro began to show a failed codec type-thing when I would try to play a .mov. I uninstalled Quicktime Pro and attempted a reinstall but it will not allow me to install anything before version 7.1.3.
I unistalled iTunes, pondering if I could refresh the system and registry, and reinstalled iTunes+Quicktime, but it still will not allow me into iTunes or use Quicktime Pro even after I payed for the key again.
Frustrating. Any suggestions?
Dell Dimension 8200 Windows XP Pro

I have the same problem, but I can't get past step 1. I can't uninstall the existing Quicktime. It says "fatal error during installation". No matter what I do, I can't get past that step. I try to repair it first, in hopes that I can uninstall it after the repair. But during the repair process, it asks me for the install folder where quicktime.msi can be found, and I can't find it on my system anywhere. It's almost like the uninstall utility has already removed that file in its attempt to uninstall the software, but didn't go all the way. Now, it seems, I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place. Any suggestion?
Quicktime version 7.0d0 is installed, iTunes
requires Quicktime version 7.1.3 or later.
okay. let's try a slightly different method of
swapping out your QuickTime, involving a few extra
explicit precautions.
head into your Add/Remove programs. uninstall
QuickTime.
Next, we’ll manually remove any leftover program
files and folders.
1. On the Start menu, click My Computer (or
double-click My Computer on the Desktop).
2. In My Computer, open Local Disk.
3. Open Program Files.
4. Right-click on the QuickTime folder and click
Delete from the shortcut menu.
5. Navigate to C:\Windows\system32\.
6. Remove the files QuickTime.qts and
QuicktimeVR.qtx.
7. Restart your computer.
next, we'll get a fresh copy of QuickTime into your
PC by doing a repair install of
itunes.
switch off antivirus and antispyware applications
prior to the repair install.
go into Add/Remove and select itunes. click "Change"
and then click "Repair".
if the repair install goes through okay, restart the
PC and try launching itunes again. does it launch
properly now?

Error Message - Won't Let Me Use My Memory Chip

I need help. I turned off my phone today and when I turned it back on this message came up, "A Media Card has been inserted that contains errors. To correct the errors please use a disk error-checking utility on a computer." I previously had songs, ringtones, pictures, etc on the media card and now it won't let me access them. I hooked it up to my computer hoping it would automatically fix itself but it didn't. However, when I brought up my media manager it would let me click on my media card as if it were still there and all of the media was still there. But the same message appears. I've tried taking out the media card and everything. PLEASE HELP.

I had the same problem only when I ran the disk error checking utility, it did seem to scan and fix a huge number of issues, only I still get the same error message and now I cant seem to access my SD card from my phone. Also, when I hook up my phone to the computer I am able to view most of the pictures but not all of them. The pictures that I cannot open do not seem to be readable. They are saved as weird symbols and I cant seem to view them or save them as picture files. Can I still recover these pictures and how can I resolve this error message??? Please help

I tried down loading mozilla firefox to use as a web browser. It was downloaded 100% then when prompted to "run" the error message comes up with a red cross and the message'This file is corrupted" and won't let me proceed. What do I do now?

It is possible that your anti-virus software is corrupting the downloaded files or otherwise interfering with downloading files by Firefox.<br />
You can try to disable the real-time (live) scanning of files in your anti-virus software temporarily to see if that makes downloading work.

Installed Trend Micro Smart Surfing on new MacBook Pro and now it has caused error that won't let computer boot up. How do I get it to a point that I can delete program?

Installed Trend Micro Smart Surfing on new MacBook Pro and now it has caused error that won't let computer boot up. How do I get it to a point that I can delete program?

Try booting up in Safe mode (holding down the Shift key while booting). If the software came with an unistaller, use it to remove alll traces of the software - it's nothing that you need and, as you've experienced, can do more actual hard than good (as is the case with most software of this type). When you're booted in Safe Mode, if you can't run an uninstaller, at least check to make sure that there are no Trend Micro items that are set for automatic log in, at least.

I accidentally updated iPhoto on my (now) external hard drive and now it won't let me access any of my photos. What can I do?

I accidentally updated iPhoto on my (now) external hard drive and now it won't let me access any of my photos. What can I do?

So, you have two versions of iphoto? One from the old machine and one from the new?
If so, forget about opening with the older version of iPhoto.
For the newer version:
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
