I need to access some legacy apps for my iPhone 5 (IOS 10). I read where to do that I need to install iTunes version 12.6.3, which I have done. However, when I try to sign-in I get an error -50. It says this is temporary but it really is permanent. I am able to sign-in from the web as well as from my iPhone using the same credentials. Can someone help me debug this? TIA


An image from 'Cannot signin with iTunes - Unknown error -50'. Two iTunes error messages reporting temporary unknown errors with different codes (-50 and 0x80090302).

Thanks for the reply but iTunes update tells me I have the latest. When I look, the old versions jump from 12.6.3 to 12.7. Where can I find that version?
