When downloading purchased music I get an Error ( -50 )

I tunes will try for a long periodof time to dowload the songs and it will sometimes give an error message about not being able to connect to the music store. the problem is that it just won't download these songs and I don't know how to fix it. I have uninstalled Itunes and reinstalled it and it is still giving me errors. PLEASE HELP.
Thanks in advance for any help.

hi bbailey!
the best place to start with that error message is:
iTunes for Windows: Error (-50) or (403) occurs when accessing the iTunes Music Store
but also see:
iTunes for Windows: Music Store - Using With Internet Filters or Accelerators

    when downloading itunes software i get an error message:'apple application support not found'...error2 (windows error2)

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it, which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
    The section Install missing components has advice on breaking down the iTunes installer into the individual .msi files which might prove useful if one component, such as Apple Application, won't install normally.

  • Disc Error when downloading purchased music videos

    Hi there,
    I'm using the latest iTunes and have purchased 3 music videos. When I try to download them, I gett an error saying:
    "There was an error download your purchased music. The disc could not be read from or written to"
    Strange thing is, the disc is fine (an external Maxtor network drive), I can download normal music files (I've done this successfully since getting this message) so I'm stumped.
    I've sent a mail to iTunes support, but I thought I'd see if anyone else has had this problem and can recommend a fix.
    Cheers,
    Pete

    Hello Peter,
    Check out the suggestions in this Apple Support article below:
    "Disk could not be read from or written to"
    Also, if your videos were only partially downloaded and you'd like to retrieve them, then you can go to "Advanced> check for purchases..." in iTunes, and see if that works.
    I hope this helps!

  • TS1368 When downloading the latest updateI get an error message MSVCR80.dll is missing

    I have come up against an error created when downloading the latest update to itunes. This does not download and if you follow the instructions of going to tools and download manually then update it creates an error message of MSVCR80.dll is missing please reinstall and try again. This error message comes up all the time and to get around it I have had to reboot my system from a previous saved date and not do the latest download. I am now trying to get my itunes account sorted but it will let me access my music however, when I try to view the movies I have purchased it states itunes is not working properly and closes it down. I tried to email itunes but it said I had to use internet explorer which I was using, I had to download firefox and then delete all the rubbish which came with it before it would allow me to send them an email with my problems, what a joke! I am now losing all confidence in itunes and the latest downloads. So disappointing when it was working so well until now!

    When I attempt to open the downloaded file, I get the following error message:

    You need an Intel Mac.
    *Firefox 4 and later require at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac.

  • When downloading itunes updates, i get an error that reads file folder for itunes media has an invalid character

    The error message read "file folder iTunes media has invalid character".

    This happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout, or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
    Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then cancel when asked to try to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions.
    Alternatively, as long as you can find a location holding the missing files, then you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes .

  • Help, i get the 'error downloading purchased music.' what do i do?

    i can download music and podcast fine but when i try to purchase a tv show i get the error message "there was an error downloading purchased music. the disk could not be read from or written to" i went to the purchases command in the advanced menu several times with no luck. i have purchased three seperate shows and get the same message. i'm tired of wasting money and would like some help.
    thanks

    Hmm... I've never seen a issue exactly like this before personally, but usually you get the "Disk Locked" error when installing iTUnes or adding anything, songs or videos to iTunes folder. go here and follow the instructions http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302398
    You may have to uninstall/reinstall iTunes AND quicktime if this does not work. Uninstlling iTunes DOES NOT delete any music, playlist, ratings ect ect

    I get this message when I try to download purchased music, never seen it before, never had a problem before.
    "you do not have enough access privelages for this operation"
    This computer is authorized, auoto download is enabled and I can download on my ipad without a problem.
    Any ideas what might be going on?

    Hi jimbowby,
    If you are getting this error message just when attempting to download previously purchased music (new purchases work fine), and it's only occuring on the computer (redownloads on the iPad work fine), it may be a permissions issue. It may be worth taking a look at the Resolution section of the following article, which covers other issues that can throw that same error message: Trouble adding music to iTunes library or importing audio CD Hope that helps.

  • Error (-50) When Trying To Download Purchased Music

    Hello -
    I recently upgraded to iTunes 7.0.1. Since then, I cannot download purchased music. I get the following error message:
    There was a problem downloading X (name of song). An unknown eror occurred (-50).
    I have never had problems downloading purhcased music before. Is there a known bug/issue with 7.0.1?

    I am having the SAME PROBLEM and it's driving me NUTS! I couldn't find an answer here so I emailed iTunes support. Here is what they said:
    The error you describe may be caused by the presence of web
    acceleration or firewall software. While the iTunes Store is unable to provide
    technical support, I can recommend that you either test your connection to
    the iTunes Store without the presence of this software or configure
    your system to allow access to the iTunes Store's address.
    However, I'm not sure that is my problem because my computer is new, (I have a macbook), I haven't downloaded any kind of software other than software updates from apple, I use safari, and my roommate has no problem d-loading onto her computer. Also, the album I purchased comes with an interactive booklet and that downloads without a problem. So, I don't know. I just emailed them again and I'll respond to this thread if I get a solution. Otherwise, please let me know if you figure it out!

    When I purchase music through iTunes from my MacBook Pro, my iPhone 4 iTunes app cannot detect those purchase to allow them to download to my phone. If I open up the iTunes app and select "purchased > music > not on this iphone" it tells me "All of your available music has been downloaded to this device." However, my purchases are not yet downloaded to the iphone and not available to download. If I go to "purchased > music > all > recent purchases" it will show me the purchases that were most recent the last time I synced my phone, but not the purchases since then.
    Any thoughts on how I can remedy this and make all of my purchased music available on my phone without requiring syncing?

    So I have been searching the iStore for Airplay and I find lots of information about what it is, but nothing about how much it costs, how/where to buy it, etc.?
    Fortunately, AirPlay does not cost anything as it is a streaming protocol used by Apple. Currently, the AirPort Express and Apple TV are AirPlay-ready. A number of other companies, like JBL, iHome, Denon and Klipsch are also rumored to be working on AirPlay versions of their products.
    Your other option would be to get an AirPort Express and connect it to your Onkyo analog or optical digital audio input and stream from iTunes that way. I currently do this with my 10+ year old Harmon Kardon HT receiver.

  • Error messages everytime itunes tries to download purchased music

    We got a new computer recently, and on our old computer I believe we had itunes 5, and we had a 30 gb 5th gen that we downloaded purchased music onto. we can only get dial up connection where we live, and we never had an issue downloading, it just took awhile.
    Now that we have our new computer, we also added an 80gb to the newer itunes (7?) we put on the new computer. I have purchased 3 songs, and everytime i try to download them, it says the network connection has timed out, or to check the network connection, etc. Not even a snippet of the song gets downloaded. It pretty much immediately goes to the error message.
    Is itunes 7 set up to only be used with a broadband connection to download? Our internet connection is never the issue. Its pretty irritating to have songs ive purchased and not be able to put them on our ipods.
    Any help would be appreciated, as im not too computer literate, and i cant figure this out.
