Error with a download song on Itunes..

I downloaded a song an it only has 14sec of play time. It has an error message (files not found).

I'm very troubled by this issue because I have been purchasing music from the ITunes Store for years but the problem basically is that when I try to buy the one song again it says I have already purchased it so it automatically downloads it when I try to buy it again which continues the same problem and I tried to hide it from the purchase menu and that did not work i unhid it and the problem seems to continue can anyone kindly please help me figure out what I did wrong because I'm sure its ITunes Store's fault on this one.

Download error/unable to download song from itunes?

I bought songs from itunes store but i can not get them downloded. What I have to do? I have this message showing under the title"download error. Tap to try"
And anotner message appears: Unable to download song, "name of song" could not be downloaded at this time . Have 2 choice tick done or retry but always message comes up after several try... Would be happy if someone could help. Many thanks!

Hi All,
I see this is very old post, however only as of a couple of months back i'm getting a very similar fault.
I run an iPhone 6 Plus, iPad Mini 2 (cellular) and a Macbook Pro - all using the same iTunes account for my iTunes Match. When the devices are connected to the home Wifi (SKY BROADBAND) not a single problem with the service - However when i attempt to use iTunes match on any device via 3G/4G the devices will skip songs 99% of the time and also not be able to stream previews from the iTunes store.
I find if i have one of the devices on 3G/4G and turn iTunes match off and back on again, it may be able to stream a few songs ok. However this won't last for too long, and before long the issue will return.
From a very broad perspective, you'd think that the issue is with the Cellular Service Provider (EE UK), but i've been in contact with their technical team, and are unable to find any issues on their end, as the phone and iPad are both connected OK to the internet via 3G/4G.
I'm a Technical Analyst by profession, and have tried adjusting all settings, and turning accounts off and back on in different orders to try and find a pattern, but i'm left completely stumped.
Does anyone have a resolution for this?!
Please Please Help!!
Kindest Regards,
Dan

Error -100000 when downloading songs from iTune

Have have several songs that I have purchased thru iTune that will not download. I get an error -100000 that says the file is corrupted. I have tried repeatable to download the songs but get the same error everytime. What can I do to get the songs that I have paid for?
Thanks

Because it was not made available as a single by the record label to iTunes.

My ipod touch will download songs from itunes, but has issues with songs from my CD's.The songs show up on my ipod

My ipod downloads songs from itunes and plays them just fine. However, when I added my songs from my CD's to it, they downloaded but don't play like they should. They either don't play at all or randomly play in the middle of the song. It has nothing to do with the start time either because they all say that they start at 0.00. I synced the CD's correctlly, so that is not the issue. The songs from the CD's never start playing when I choose them. What can I do to fix this issue?

Have you looked at the discussions on the right side of this page under the heading "More Like This" with your same problem?

Have you tried checking the Store drop-down menu in the iTunes interface to see if you are signed in the existing account?

Error downloading songs on iTunes match

Since downloading iOS 7 I'm getting errors preventing me from downloading songs from iTunes Match on my iPhone 4S. Can anyone help??

Disable iTM on the iPhone, open the Music app and let the content clear out, then hold down the Power+Home buttons until you see the Apple logo. Re-enable iTunes Match.

Unable to Download Song from Itunes

Receiving an error message on my iphone 4S when trying to download music from itunes. Have not had problems in the past. I have restarted my phone. I have the most up-to-date operating software. I signed in and out of my apple ID. Nothing seems to be working. Any suggestions? Thank you.

I have both a strong wifi and cellular connection.
I have restarted my phone.
No problem downloading apps. Same error with a different song.
Also checked to make sure I had memory storage left on my iphone - I do.

Uploading to online data storage: Now cannot download songs into iTunes

Hello all.
I am not seeing this one on any FAQs, knowledge bases, or discussion boards yet:
I am doing my initial upload of files to SugarSync, a highly-recommended online data storage service. Since I started, I cannot download songs into iTunes, even from the iTunes Store.
On any new downloads from the iTunes Store, the song DOES appear in the Music library view but immediately after completing the download it shows the exclamation point warning that the file is not in its location. The new folders get created properly within the iTunes Music folder but the subfolder where the song should be is empty. Each time I had to write iTunes Support to get them to make the files available.
I can still add files manually, no problem. E.g., I can add *.mp3 or *.wav files or folders, I can convert them to AAC, etc. The glitch seems to occur only when automated loads into iTunes are operating.
As a test, I downloaded a song from Amazon. Here the problem was different but I could work around it manually. Normally the Amazon process loads songs automatically into iTunes, too. Here again, the download did create the proper folder in the iTunes Music folder, as it should, but this time the symptoms were reversed:
(a) the mp3 file WAS in its folder as it should be (w/the iTunes DL, the file was NOT there)
(b) the song did NOT appear in the iTunes Music view (w/the iTunes DL, the song DID appear)
(c) I was able to browse to the file and tell it manually to load into iTunes (w/iTunes I had to write Support and wait a day).
(I wonder what's the cause of the differences between the two cases.)
Strictly speaking, I can't PROVE the problem has anything to do with SugarSync (which otherwise seems good so far), but the DL problem started as soon as I started using it. Something in the SugarSync upload or file-monitoring process, or an odd thin gin iTunes, seems to be preventing automated, direct loads into iTunes. And since the data service runs in background, so it can monitor file changes, that might mean I can't buy music anymore! Obviously that would be a dealbreaker with SS. (I have contacted SS on this but they've not had fair chance to reply yet.)
1) Anyone else have this problem?
2) Is this permanent or just temporary while I am doing the initial upload?
3) Anyone know a solution?
(FYI, I am a highly-experienced user and otherwise quite handy with iTunes files, library moves, and backups. My library is entirely consolidated and all AAC.)
Thanks.
(Oh, and this occurred in both iTunes 8 and the new iTunes 9, so it seems unrelated to the upgrade this week.)

UPDATE 1. CHANGING BROWSER HELPED -- OR DID IT?
I called Apple iTunes Support, who said the problem is new to them. The technician's hypothesis was that something, perhaps browser-related, was interfering with the initial creation of a temporary file (which should go to the Recycle Bin) that instead causes the completed file to go to there.
He noted that iTunes, though not going through one's browser onscreen, does use settings within one's default browser. I use Mozilla Firefox, so we switched to IE as the default browser, restarted iTunes, and the song downloaded with no problem! Then I switched back to Mozilla, restarted iTunes, and it worked AGAIN with no problem!
(Dutifully I advised SugarSync, which is still investigating.)
UPDATE 2: ARTIST NAME CHANGE - SOME FILES GOT MIS-MOVED / MIS-CHANGED
Definitely something still wrong. This time some pre-existing song entries (not new downloads) lost their connection to their source file.
In iTunes, which manages folder names for artists and albums automatically, I corrected the spelling for an Artist, so immediately iTunes renamed the folder, and automatically SugarSync noted the change to be uploaded. While the changed folder name and all the songs within were still uploading to SS, in iTunes I saw exclamation points come up -- but only for some of them. Most files got moved or changed correctly, but several lost connection to their file (i.e., the file was removed for the original misnamed folder but never moved into the correctly-named folder). Weird.
Worse, in only some of those cases did I find the missing *.m4a file in the Recycle bin. (I had to retrieve old, original *.mp3 versions from another folder and re-import each into iTunes manually.) I've never seen iTunes have a problem managing an Artist rename until I started using the live SS process.
(I've reported this to SS and asked if there is a way to disable temporarily SS to see if that's the problem.)
[Note: I am willing to try downloads again but I am wary of trying to rename entire Artists (Folder) again. That was a lot of work.]

UPDATE 3: SERIES OF TESTS - 1 FAILURE USING iTUNES
Still problem occurs, but not always. Today, I rebooted PC. I tried CD, iTunes, & Amazon. I varied having the browser open when using iTunes.
Here are the results of a series of attempts to download songs. "FAIL" means the file did not load properly into iTunes or loaded but lost its connection (exclamation point warning).
# Source Mozilla #Songs Result
1 CD Closed 1 OK
2 iTunes Closed 1 OK
3 Amazon Open 2 OK
4 iTunes Open 1 FAIL
5 Amazon Open 1 OK
6 iTunes Closed 1 OK
7 Amazon Open 2 OK
8 iTunes Open 2 OK
(I reported this to SS. Hoping they'll test and find the problem.)

Can I use downloaded songs from iTunes into iMovie and burn DVDs?

If I use downloaded songs from iTunes in iMovie, will I be able to make DVDs of my movie without losing music files?

Hi A
Probably but iMovie and I guess iDVD is fussy about in what format the audio
is in. It should be 48k/.aiff
If You in iTunes make an audio CD with the material You need in Your movie
and then Use this CD in iMovie it will work.

How do I download songs from iTunes Match for offline or spotty coverage?

I have a 64GB iPhone and want to be able to DOWNLOAD songs from iTunes match for use when I have spotty 3G coverage (or no coverage, or only expensive coverage, or on an airplane). How can I do this? Right now iTunes is not using any of my data storage on my phone for previously downloaded songs for future use (caching).

What you want to do actually has nothing to do with iTunes Match. What you need to do is enable automatic downloads in iTunes. Open iTunes prefs > Store and select the option for, at least, "music" and click OK. Now any music you buy will be downloaded to your iTunes library automatically. But iTunes will need to be running for this to happen.

How to download songs from ITunes Japan and France?

How to download songs from ITunes Japan and France with a credit card and address based in the US? The system appears to not allow downloads in that fashion. Please let me know if you have any details

This question is asked literally dozens of time a week in these forums, & I will answer, again. In order to purchase from any specific country's store, you will have to meet one of the following criteria:
1) Have a credit card from that country with a billing address in that country.
2) You may use an iTunes gift card purchased in that country, but the billing address rule still applies.
This rules are mandated by the record companies not Apple. The record companies do not care for cross-border sales.
As a new poster, just a suggestion, it might save you a little time if you use the "search" function in the upper right corner to see if your question has been asked previously. That way you don't have to wait on someone to come along to help you.

Downloaded songs frome itunes and internet went down and they will not play and it also caused other songs not to but most will what do i need to do wiyhout erasing everything

downloaded songs from itunes and the internet went down and they will not play and also caused other songs already downloaded not to play what can i do

You can try a couple of different things. First - restart the iPod and see if the songs will play.
Restart the iPod by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
If that doesn't help - delete the songs and then download them again. You can download purchased music again at no charge as long as you use the same Apple ID that you bought them with originally and as long as you live in one of these countries.
Previously purchased music is only available through iTunes in the Cloud in Argentina, Australia, Belgium, Bolivia, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, France, Germany, Guatemala, Honduras, Ireland, Luxembourg, Malta, Mexico, New Zealand, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Slovakia, Spain, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, United States, and Venezuela.
If you are running iOS 5 on the iPod - You can delete songs by swiping across the song in list view to bring up a red delete button. Tap the button to delete the songs. Download the songs again in the purchased tab in iTunes.
