Whenever I try to log into my itunes it says I have a -50 error, but I'm not downloading anything. I don't know why it won't let me log in.

I don't know why my itunes won't let me log in. All the Apple website tells me is that it's an error when I'm downloading something, but I'm not downloading anything.

Hey shelbylynn18,
Thanks for the question. (-50) is a timeout error that can occur when downloading content or when simply trying to access the iTunes Store. If you have automatic downloads enabled, you may be experiencing this error when iTunes is attempting to automatically download available content.
iTunes Store: "Error (-50)" when downloading purchased content
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1583
This can happen when the connection timeout occurs while downloading purchased content from the iTunes Store. Certain types of software may also affect the way a computer sends and receives information from the internet. Here are a few examples of these types of software:
- Firewalls
- Web Accelerators
- Ad Filters
- Virus Protection Software
Resolution
If you have any of the software listed above, and you cannot access the iTunes Store or complete your download, you will need to configure these applications to allow iTunes to connect to the Internet.
Refer to the documentation that came with that software, and if necessary contact the software's manufacturer. You will need to configure the software to allow the following domains to send and receive data from the Internet.
- itunes.apple.com
- ax.itunes.apple.com
- albert.apple.com
- gs.apple.com
- deimos3.apple.com
- phobos.apple.com
If a web accelerator appears to be causing the issue, contact your Internet Service Provider (ISP) or the software manufacturer. If your computer is on a network, you may also want to try using a different computer on the network, or discuss the issue with the network administrator.

  • My itunes keeps asking me to set my permissions.  they are set to read and write for all accounts, admin, everybody, etc.  don't know why it won't let me download

    my itunes keeps asking me to set my permissions.  they are set to read and write for all accounts, admin, everybody, etc.  don't know why it won't let me download

    Ever find a real solution to this? I just posted something similar - been having the issues ever since I started using the mac.
    I have 5 mac accounts: 2 of those are admins.
    After I installed every program I may possibly want, I redid all my user accounts (as I had been having a lot of permissions issues before that). My (admin) account downloads fine. Another admin account, set up exactly as mine, periodically gets prompted that it doesn't have the right to download.
    To avoid duplication, I have a /common/music directory for all itunes accounts music. We have to periodically do a recursive permissions deal on the 2nd admin account so it can put music there, even though that directory is read/write for everyone. Apple's never been able to help me on this...

  • HT203175 My iPod touch is off and I can't turn it on because when I try, it has the iTunes logo and a usb pointing to it...and when I connect it to my computer and try to open it to iTunes, it says I have to restore it, but I don't want to lose all my pic

    My iPod touch is off and wont turn on because it has the itunes logo and a usb pointing to it, so when i looked it up online, it says i have to restore it but i don't want to because i don't want to lose all my pictures. What can I do?

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • TS4009 iCloud says I have  19GB storage left, but my iPhone cannot download anything from iTunes. Any help?

    I have plenty of storage space on iCloud, but whenever I try to download songs from iTunes a popup says my storage space is full.  Any help please?

    The storage space you have on your phone and the storage space you have available in your iCloud account are not the same thing. You need to remove some items from your phone, if you are to free up space to download items from iTunes.

    4) Click the Edit Payment Information button.

    Phase 3:
    Download a free content on to get recognized in iTunes.
    To ensure your account is functioning, try downloading a free item from the iTunes Store. To do this, navigate to the iTunes Store main page by clicking the Home icon near the upper-left corner of the window. Scroll down and click the "FREE ON iTunes" link near the bottom of the main page, then select an item to download.
    After you are able to download the free App try updating the billing information as usual.

    You may need to put the iPad into recovery mode for it to be recognised by your computer's iTunes : http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808 - you should then be able to reset the iPad and re-sync your content to it.

  • My ipod touch is disbled and when i try to restore it my itunes keeps saying i have to download ios5, but i cant get into my ipod to do it. What do I do?

    My ipod touch is disabled. When I try to restore it my itunes says I need to download ios5, but I cant donload it because its disabled. What do I do?

    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

    For how to restore:
    iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: How to back up     
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.

  • Every time i try to sign into creative cloud it says you have been signed out?

    I just want to buy adobe photoshop.... in the last 2 hours my computer has been plagued with viruses and nearly destroyed as i couldnt access the internet and didnt know what to do. Now every time i try to download it it tells me to sign into creative cloud. Every time i type in my email and my password and click sign in it says you have now been signed out.... this is the most un userfriendly website i have ever seen and im not recomending it to anybody.... Somebody tell me why im being trolled by this damn thing... this has been seen by 25 people.. the website continues to do this. I never buying another adobe product again and im gonna make sure my friends dont either... good bye

    CM_Martketing and MikeBanks are correct, but I think what is confusing some people is that they are mistaking their Mac HD for the user name. I kind of had to mash up 2 posts to get it right:
    1: Open Activity monitor from spotlight and end all Adobe related processes. You may find processes like AAMupdater, AAMupdater notifier, Adobe Crash demon process.
    2: Open Finder and navigate Macintosh HD/Users/[your user name]/Library (the library folder might be grayed out, just right click and select open)
    3: Now navigate to Application Support/Adobe/OOBE/.. folder.
    4: Delete opm file under OOBE.
    5: Rename OOBE to OOBEold.
    6: Check if you have AAMupdater in the adobe folder.
    7: Please rename it to AAMupdaterold.
    8: Click on gear icon on Creative Cloud desktop app and choose Quit Creative Cloud.
    9: Then launch it, sign-in and click on Apps tab.
    It worked perfectly! Thanks everyone, I've been trying to figure this out for a month!
