ITunes won't let me download music just says error retry

When I go into iTunes it lets me purchase songs but when it downloads it fails at the end and comes up with a error message

If you are getting a specific error message, what is it?
Here are some things that you can try.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
If that doesn't work - sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
Settings>iTunes & App Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad 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.
Go back to Settings>iTunes & App Store>Sign in and then try again.
You can also reboot your router by unplugging it from power for about 30 seconds and then plug it in again.

ITunes won't let me download music off the cloud

My hard drive corrupted earlier this year but thanks to iTunes match I can download all my music back off the cloud onto my laptop. I've been downloading as much as my bandwidth allocates me each month, so when it came to the start of this month, I began downloading the rest of my music from the cloud.
Ever since iTunes has updated, every time it tries to download a track it says it failed and to make sure I'm connected to the server and to try again. I've tried this on a few different networks with the same result.
My iTunes match membership runs out in the next couple of weeks so I'm keen to get this sorted as soon as possible.

I purchased a song on iTunes and it shows up in the song list with an exclamation point on the side of it. It says the song could not be found. I have done a search and can't find it but iTunes won't let me download or buy it again. Help!!

Hello levon10
Just delete the song and then go through the process of downloading the purchase again.

Iphone on Itunes won't let me select music

Got a new computer, all was going well. Now I find that when I plug in my Iphone Itunes won't let me select music folders to sync, it is all grayed out. It sees the Iphone , charges it and lets me change applications. Just not music or Photos. I removed Itunes then dowloaded it to see if that would help. It didn't.

The iPhone does not support disk mode, and in regards to iTunes content, an iPhone can be synced with an iTunes library on a single computer only, and photos can be transferred to an iPhone from a single computer only. When syncing iTunes content and transferring photos from a different computer, all iTunes content and photos transferred from another computer will be erased from the iPhone first.
Did you transfer your iTunes library from your old computer to your new computer along with photos and all other important data?

Why is it that iTunes won't let me transfer music onto my iPod?

Windows 8 itunes won't let me add anything to iphone

windows 8 itunes won't let me add anything to iphone..apple community doesn't list the iphone as a product registered under my apple id, but the phone is listed on my authorized devices. any ideas? and do i need to get it to show as a registered product?

I have the same problem. I can't sync any apps or music on my iphone. I can't sync any music purchased through itunes on my ipod. I haven't even tried connecting my ipad for fear that it'll mess that up as well. I try to authorize my macbook but I get an error. The weird thing is that I am able to still play all of my purchased music through itunes so it seems that the authorization is at least somehow partially recognized.

ITunes won't let me put music from Frostwire on it

My computer had a trojan on it, but luckily I got it off using Malaware. After I got it off, iTunes will not let me put music from Frostwire on it anymore. Ive done this with hundreds of songs before the virus, but now it won't seem to let me.
Please help me!
Thanks!

I'm not surprised to read you got some malware. It may have come from a Frostwire download.
Downloading "free" p2p music isn't so shiny anymore, is it.
My advice is to get your music from legal sources, and you will have no trouble adding them to itunes.
If I am misunderstanding Frostwire and it's a legal music downloading service, I am sure their support forums can help.

ITunes won't let me download to my computer saying it is associated with a different Apple ID but it is not. Any ideas?

I have recently purchased a tv series off iTunes and for some reason my iMac won't let me download it to my computer. It aways comes up with the error message
'You can download past purchases on this computer with just one Apple ID every 90 days. You cannot associate this computer with a different Apple ID for 17 days'
The only problem is I haven't changed my Apple ID on the computer and I purchased the items with my Apple ID that is associated with this computer. I had changed my password recently so I was wondering if this could cause the problem? Has anyone else experienced this and do you have any ideas on how to fix it?
Thanks

Anyone else use this computer?

HT203200 I have pre-ordered 2 albums, but iTunes won't let me download them. How do I download them?

I have recently pre-ordered 2 albums with 3 gift cards i recieved for christmas. iTunes is not letting me download my 2 albums. I would like to have them in my library since they are already out and purchased.

I tried cancelling the pre-order, and now iTunes thinks I've purchased the entire album, but only one song is available to download. What the heck is going on?!

ITunes would not let me download music properly to my iPhone 4S, can someone shed some light on how I can fix it?

I recently aquired an iPhone 4S, perfectly fine, around 2 months old. everything is working fine, and all apps and music are downloaded on to iTunes and WERE origionally on the iPhone. I started to then add more songs from iTunes, though the phone started refusing to download them and then the majority of my collection were then deleted. I did origionally think that this was simply because it could not find the location of all the music files, though upon searching i found that iTunes could indeed fine every single file, and that they all played perfectly well in iTunes. I did reset the phone and try simply re-installing the exact same storage pre-reset, though it simply made all of the songs like that. The iPhone (4S, 32GB, 4 month old) did have around 900 songs on it, all playing fine, though recently the number on iTunes is around 1240, though I don't want all the songs on.
It is not that I am incapable of understanding the software of iTunes or of the iPhone, and I have had previous Apple products and also had interaction with various models (iPhone 5/5C/5S) and Android, so it this is where it stumps me on what the actual problem is.
I have tried doing things like:
Reseting the phone
Making an individual playlist with all of the songs that I want on my phone
Downloading Albums/Artists/songs/playlists individually (as to rule out if it is a specific artist/song/so on
Downloading everything and then trying to get iTunes to download the actual song directly
When updating/syncing my options on the Music tap on iTunes when the iPhone is plugged in, it registers on iTunes that the every song that I have ticked to be included in the sync has been synced, though upon checking my iPhone on the music app, the majority of the music will either have failed to sync or not be there, or be registered but unplayable (the title of the song is slightly transparent/grey). Then upon inspection of the [Settings>General>About>Songs], the count does not equate to that which is stated on iTunes.
Any help will be appreciated as soon as possible, as my iPhone is used for music a significant amount of the time and the loss of around 700 songs off of my phone is quite significant.
Bearing in mind that I am only 16 years old and have no actual IT knowledge in-depth of what is actually occuring other ethan what the consumers can see through such things as the settings and the location of files and their formats, I would be appreciative if any explanation wouldn't end up being too confusing, nor it being patronising (for instance, my ignorance of how to download music to iTunes)
Thanks, atsdkg

I have help for you!!!
I had EXACTLY the same issue recently. What I had to do on my PC was go into the My computer section> click on my C drive> click on users> click on my username> go into music and then iTunes> Here you should see something that says iTunes Library. Make sure that iTunes is Closed and then take the iTune library and drag it onto Your desktop. This will create a copy on the desktop but iTunes will not see it. Reopen iTunes and you should see an option to scan for media. Once you do this iTunes should re-build your iTunes library and It should be able to sync. If it syncs fine and all your content is available go to the iTunes library that you dragged to the desktop and delete it as you should not have a new one. If this does not work absolutley do NOT delete the iTunes library that is on the desktop.
Call Apple and let them know of the steps you have taken and request some help. This should fix it though!

I redeemed a $15 iTunes gift card, but iTunes won't let me download anything. It keeps asking to sign in for billing and I do, but it says security code is invalid on debit card, when it's not. Has anyone experienced this problem?

Hi. My name is Kim. I was wanting to know if anyone has gone through similar experience. I redeemed a iTunes gift card that was given to me. I'm told by iTunes store to sign in which I do, but then it takes me straight to billing I enter the correct three digit security code, then what happens it tells me invalid Cvv. Could someone please tell me this what does my debit card have to do with my having a redeemed ITunes card to use, and why doesn't let me download my music. I use a iPhone 3GS. Thanks

Hi Kim ...
Might not just be the security code > iTunes Store: My credit card's security code or zip code does not match my bank's records
Apple "verifies" your billing credentials with every transaction.
what does my debit card have to do with my having a redeemed ITunes card
If the total purchase price of the media including any applicable taxes or fees exceeds the balance of the redeemed card, then the difference is charged to your debit or credit card account.

You don't have to have a credit or debit account setup > Create an iTunes App Store account without a credit card
