Unknown error code (-50) when attempting to access iTunes Store

Hi, can some kind person assist a newbie iPod user please! I have as yet not been able to access iTunes Store to purchase music (although I've successfully created my acccount which displays without error). Every time I attempt to access iTunes Store by simply clicking 'iTunes Store' in the left hand column, I keep getting the same error message box: "We could not complete your iTunes Store request. An unknown error occurred (-50)" Anyone who has exprienced the same problem and was able to fix, I'd really like to hear from you! Many thanks, Andy

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.

  • Error code 0x80092013 when trying to access iTunes store

    I currently have the lastest version of iTunes unstalled on a Windows Vista PC. For a few months now, I get the error code 0x80092013 when trying to connect to the iTunes store or log in to my iTunes account. I have tried to run diagnostics but there is no help availavle because iTunes will not connect to the internet to get the help I need.
    I have scoured the interent for a solution to this problem and have tried everything I have come accross, from re-installing to reading every support page I can find. I am becoming so frustrated trying to fix this problem, it is not my apple ID as my iPad works perfectly fine. If anyone can give me a solution that actually works it would be greatley appreciated

    After some research I found the following tip to be working:

  • Error Code -9808 when trying to access ITunes Store

    Downloaded ITunes 8.1.1 and am getting error message -9808 whenever I try to connect to the Tunes Store.

    Error 9808 is usually solved by:
    Check your internet settings.
    Control Panel – Internet Options – Advanced
    Uncheck “Check for server certificate revocation (requires restart)”
    Click okay
    After unchecking the option, do you get another error message? It could be your firewall blocking access. Have you allowed itunes and itunes helper in your security software firewall?

    It's typically related to security software issues, gayle. If you're running Kaspersky security software, try switching off Kaspersky Parental Controls. Otherwise, see:

  • Unknown error -3212 when attempting to access iTunes Store (Windows 7)

    This apparently is a firewall problem. I'm running Norton 360 on Windows 7 Home Premium SP1. I managed to solve the problem by going into Security>Manage Firewall>Program Rules, scrolling down to iTunes and setting the the Access level. Apparently Norton 360 occasionally (not always?) resets itself to "Auto" when a new iTunes update is installed. I reset it to "Allow" and access to the iTunes Store is restored.

  • ITunes Crash When Attempting to access iTunes Store

    So, here's an interesting one for you. Every time I try to access the iTunes store, iTunes decides to crash on me. No error message, nothing. Just poof gone.
    It worked yesterday when I plugged in my iPod Touch and got it running for the first time. Everything else I've tried on iTunes works (with the exception of .avi files not importing, but I assume that's normal). If I access the App Store via my iPod, it works. It's just the store interface in iTunes.

    I'll go ahead and provide the entire diagnostic thing, since more information is always good, and the diagnostic's full text isn't that much longer.

  • How do I override "error code -61" when attempting to put things in the Trash? Cannot empty Trash or use Secure Empty Trash.

    How do I override "error code -61" when attempting to put items in the Trash?  Cannot empty Trash or use Secure Empty Trash. I have a MacBook OS X 10.5.8

    The reason why some of the files are blocking the trash from emptying is because of specific ".app" files from third party companies like Adobe products. Not the user files or the various help documents but instead the actual mother program. Here's how to fix this problem:
    1) remove from the trash all the actual software programs like Photoshop, InDesign, DreamWeaver and so on and put them on the desktop.
    2) Command "I" (info) and when the dialog box opens go to the "Name & Extension" text box and remove the ".app" from the software name. Example: Photoshop.app change to Photoshop.
    3) the program icon will change to a "folder icon".
    4) put the folder icon back into the trash and you should be able to now empty the trash.
    If you continue to get the error code 8003 it's because you may still have one or more software programs in the trash that needs to go through this process. Remember - it's not the user files or help documents or supporting files that is causing this but instead the "actual product programs".

    receive error code 2349   when trying to install iTunes.  Any idea what that code means and how to correct?

    It's a better bet with a 2330, but the first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
    XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
    Vista instructions in the following document: Check your hard disk for errors
    Windows 7 instructions in the following document: How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)
    Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
    Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards?

    what to do when unable to access itunes store? I tried logging in but it tells me I'm not connected to the internet.

    You cannot use the iTunes Store of any country other than one one in which you live and have a payment method. If the Sound Cloud app is no longer available in your country's iTunes Store, then that app will not be available to you. Contact the developer and ask if they have any plans to re-release it in your country; it may have been removed due to a problem or pending update and will be reinstated at some point.
