Q: How do we deal with Error 50 when downloading a movie rental then stopped with error 50 and when I try to resume the downld, it doesn't do it?

iTunes Store- "Error (-50)" when downloading purchased content

Yeah this "fix" is bunk. The movie is downloading just fine, but the extra features is the one giving me this error code. It is NOT my firewall. If it was, then both files wouldn't download. Plus, I already have the firewall "issue" tacked down and fixed. Have had it fixed for months now. No, this is due to the "new" itunes version 11 software. The only conclusion to fix this issue is UPgrading from 11 back to 10.7 which is what I am going to do. This is completely ridiculous! Come on, Apple, get itunes working once and for all, and fire the people responsible for itunes 11, just like you did to the guy who was responsible for apple maps. Thankfully Google came back to the rescue with google maps app.

I am getting the same problem, ever since the last update to iTunes I get the -50 constantly but it doesn't happen on every download. I just purchased the Grimm TV Series about half the episodes downloaded and the others gave me the error. Doesn't make sense why it works with some and not the other. Apple needs to fix this, from the post a lot of people are having the same issue. Would have been easier to go out and purchase the DVDs.
