Any help with iTunes error code?

[Malay Agarwal]

I am relatively new to iTunes on Windows. I downloaded the latest version and then tried signing in with my AppleID, but encountered an error which is as follows:
"We couldn't complete your iTunes store request. An unknown error occurred. (-50)"
Can somebody help me with this?
I have already tried with the Firewall switched off, a few Internet options switched off and some other fixes, but none of them have helped.

That could be an Apple server issue. Wait a while and try again. Hopefully someone else can maybe shed more light.

Hi Malay
The reason you're getting that error code -50 is because some of Apple Services are down. I was also wondering why the same thing was happening to me, started happening since 7:50AM MDT here in Canada.
Here's what's currently down
App Store
Apple Music
Apple TV
iBook Store
iTunes in The Cloud
iTunes Match
iTunes Store
iTunes U
Mac App Store
OS X Software Update
& Volume Purchase Program

I am getting Error -48 when trying to restore with iTunes but I suspect the cause is the same. Is there any way around it?
