Unknown error occurred (-50) while Downloading a movie.

When downloading The Hunger Games. The error (-50) happened. It also said "Please check that the connection to the network is active and try again". I've checked and everything is connected and fine but the same error still shows.

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:

I am getting the error "ipad could not be restored. an unknown error occurred (3194)" while trying to restore. tried steps 2 n 3 but stil error persists!

When I restart my iPad the connect to iTunes comes up and stays on until it shuts down again, I have read a report from Apple support suggesting I reinstall iTunes so I might try that again and also your suggestion which i shall also try, but thanks again - rg1547

Hello mercdw,
Once the music has been downloaded to your iPhone, you can transfer purchases from your device to iTunes.

Alternatively, the following article provides further information regarding this error and steps that can help resolve the issue.
"Error -50," "-5000," "8003," "8008," or "-42023"
These alerts occur due to timeouts or conflicts trying to write a file during download.
If you encounter this issue while accessing iTunes Store:
See iTunes 9: "One Moment Please" or "Error (-50)" message when accessing iTunes Store
If you encounter this issue while while downloading something from the iTunes Store:
Delete your iTunes Downloads folder, located in:
Mac OS X:  ~/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/Downloads Note: "iTunes Media" may appear as "iTunes Music. Also, the tilde (~) refers to your Home directory.
Windows Vista:  \Users\username\Music\iTunes\iTunes Media\Downloads\
Windows 7:  \Users\username\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Media\Downloads\
Windows XP:  \Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Media\Downloads\
After locating your iTunes Downloads folder:
Quit iTunes.
Delete the Downloads folder on your computer.
Open iTunes.
Choose Store > Check for Available Downloads.
Enter your account name and password.
If you encounter this issue while while downloading Digital Copies using Windows:
Use MSCONFIG (directions for Windows XP and Windows Vista/Windows 7) to disable conflicting software.
If using MSCONFIG steps resolves the issue, you may want to use the System Configuration Utility to turn on the third-party System Services and Startup Items one at a time (restarting your computer after turning on the item or items) to identify which System Service or Startup Item is causing the conflict.
You can turn all of them back on by selecting the Normal Startup option under the General tab of the System Configuration Utility window, but please note that this may cause the issue to reoccur.
If you are able to isolate the issue to a particular third-party software, you may wish to contact them to let them know of the conflict.

Getting "An unknown error occurred (502)" while trying to download a TV episode under a season pass

Any ideas on how to resolve the following error:
There was a problem downloading “The Bear and the Maiden Fair / Game of Thrones / Game of Thrones”. An unknown error occurred (502).
Please check that the connection to the network is active and try again.
This happens on both iMac and PC, but I can still download other purchases at the same time.
I have been able to download some of the episodes, but seem to get the problem with the new one every week.
iTunes support have fobbed me off, so any suggestions are welcome ...

Fingers crossed. But if you still run into trouble, 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:

An unknown error occurred (-1) while trying to restore Ipad 3 new

Happy iPad users, I may need some help from you please.
I’ve got a problem with my iPad new 32 GB WiFi + 4G LTE.
I bought it just recently in China and was using it for nearly one month without any issues.
Then at some point i started getting synchronization problems with iTunes and applications that I have downloaded did not run properly or simply won’t start on my iPad. Then I’ve lost cellular signal.
Trying to resolve the issues I had to reset iPad to factory settings and after that I could not register it with apple. I tried many times with no success.
Then I went through some internet articles and decided to restore my iPad and finally I’ve got my almost new iPad stuck is restore mode!!!
I cannot get it out of restore mode and I cannot get it restored.
When I try to restore it I get the following message:the ipad "ipad" cannot be restored. An unknown error occurred (-1)the ipad "ipad" cannot be restored. An unknown error occurred (-1)
The ipad "ipad" cannot be restored. An unknown error occurred (-1)
Here are the things I’ve done so far trying to restore it
Tried to restore in on Windows XP – no luck, same message
Tried to restore it on Windows 7 – no luck, same message
Tried to restore it on MacBook – NO LUCK, SAME MESSAGE
Tried to use recovery fix option on redsn0w. Did not help. I tried different versions of this program with no success. Maximum what I had is my iPad was entering “white apple mode” after clicking fix restore button.
Tried to restore iPad from DFU mode both on Windows XP and Windows 7, no luck, same message (error -1)
I suspect that my iPad may have a hardware issue however I still hope it can be fixed with your help.
We don’t have an official apple support centers where I leave and I would like to try all the options before I send it to abroad apple support center or to a shop where I bought it.
Please can anybody help me with advice on how to fix my iPad?
Thank you all in advance.

I am facing the same issue, have you had luck getting it solved?

An unknown error occurred (-50) while uploading my library from a disc.

I seriously need some help here. I recently wiped my computer and reinstalled everything. I have a PC with Windows XP Pro. I made sure that I backed up my entire iTunes library on DVD-RW's. My entire Libray is on five of these. Disc one and two works fine. When I get disc three and the uploading process begin it says "*The disc cannot be read. An unknown error occurred (-50)"*. However, when I open up the disc all the files are there. Can anyone help me to get around this obsticacle. Discs 4 and 5 work fine. If there is not a fix then how can I tell my Library on my ipod classic to transfer to the itunes library on my computer? Any help would be appreciated.

Bummer. Sounds like you had a great backup plan, but never tested your restore plan.
I gave up on itunes backups to disc a few years ago, because it did the same thing to me....failed at a disc in the middle of the restore.
I think you have lost the content that was on disc 3.Perhaps not, though. Can you drag the files off the disc into the itunes library? From a Win Explorer screen, not using the itunes restore.

I keep getting "Unknown error occurred 21" while trying to restore

My iphone 4 will not turn on after being dropped. It wants to restore, I can connect to itunes and it detects my phone but at the end of the process after a minute of itunes saying "preparing iphone for restore" the phone goes back to the apple screen, disconnects from itunes and the error message pops up. Phone goes back to the itunes "plug in" screen. I have tried everything suggested on here, even had the battery removed and replaced because I saw on here that helped some people. I could pay for a new battery but if that doesn't work I have wasted my money. Any ideas?

Error 20, 21, 23, 26, 28, 29, 34, 36, 37, 40
These errors typically occur when security software interferes with the restore and update process. FollowTroubleshooting security software issues to resolve this issue. In rare cases, these errors may be a hardware issue. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.
Also, check your hosts file to verify that it's not blocking iTunes from communicating with the update server. See iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting—follow steps under the heading Blocked by configuration (Mac OS X / Windows) > Rebuild network information > Mac OS X > The hosts file may also be blocking the iTunes Store. If you have software used to perform unauthorized modifications to the iOS device, uninstall this software prior to editing the hosts file to prevent that software from automatically modifying the hosts file again on restart.

Unknown error occurred, trying to download any app on my iPad. iPhone works fine tho?

This is driving me distraction now, any help is welcomed.
I've tried
Shutting the app store down
Powering off the iPad 2
I did update to iOS 5.1 yesterday?
Thanks monkey

Try signing out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
Settings>Store>Apple ID - tap the ID and then sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. 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. See if that helps.

Solutions for "Unknown error occured" when publishing in iWeb

Many complaints where written on the forums about this annoying *"Unknown error occurred"* bug, while publishing in iWeb.
Until now, nobody could actually find the problem, but in most cases the problem is not a network connection, but an iWeb bug, that occurs during html files creation process.
I'm using iWeb a lot and through my work found several different solutions, that worked for me and for many other users. Try them all out, before going desperate and rebuilding the site from scratch:
1. Try closing and reopening iWeb (do it in all other steps between operations).
2. Try to publish the site Locally. If it works, try publishing to the server again.
3. Try publishing the ENTIRE site, first Locally, then to the server (File>Publish Entire Site). This operation forces iWeb to rebuild all the files from skratch.
4. Try closing iWeb and deleting the User/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iweb.plist preferences file. iWeb will create a new one again next time it opens (don't worry, you will only lose iWeb preferences, but not your website)
5. If publishing locally worked, but online didn't, then upload the locally published site folder to your server manually using any FTP client.
6. If nothing works, try reinstalling iWeb. Before doing that, back-up your project file, which is located at +User/Library/Application Support/iWeb+ to some other location.
Also, as an advice, avoid using non web-safe names in your files and web pages. I.e. - don't use spaces and Capital letters, this may cause problems. For example, instead of naming a file: "Nice picture.jpg", name it: "nice_picture.jpg"
Post more solutions, if you have them.

Try signing out of the app (Store menu,) quitting the app, restarting the app and signing back in.

While downloading podcasts to my library, I am getting the message, "the iTunes Library file cannot be saves. An unknown error occured (-54)." Any idea of what is going on?

Thanks.

The problem went away on its own. Not sure what was the problem but perhaps somehow the system was out sync internally due installing Lion 10.7.3/Snow Leopard 10.6.8/10.7/10.7.3 with iTunes 6 installing after the 10.7.3 and then needing to be installed again after the second 10.7.3 install from the updater model.
I kept accepting the error message and checking iTunes music file. No podcast downloads were actually rejected.

I am trying to download a movie and get the message: "An unknown error occured (5002). There was an error in the iTunes Store. Please try again later." Waited a day and still get the message. Have downloaded movies before.

When downloading a rented movie, download seems to go OK, but ends with We could not complete your iTunes Store request. An unknown error occurred 5203, please try again later. This has been going on for days so I assume it is something wrong with my computer set up. I have tried a number of configuration changes recommended on line with no change in results.
