What to do if an Audio Book did not download correctly?

I bought and downloaded an audiobook from the iTunes store on my iPhone over wifi.
A couple of days later I discovered that the sound stops about 3/4 through. The seconds keep ticking down but there is no sound whatsoever. The cutoff point is the same every time I try to listen.
I strongly suspect the download did not work correctly, however I didn't get a message saying this.
If I reattempt the download I am told that I can only do so if I buy the Audio Book again.
How do I fix this problem?
cheers,
Chris.

Audio book did not download on iPad

HOw can I get it to download, it says in the store that it is downloaded but it didn't

You bought it directly on the iPad ?
If it's not showing under the More button at the bottom of the Music app (you should get an Audiobooks option via that button when there are audiobooks on it), and it's not waiting to download in the Downloads tab in the iTunes store, then try the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history (audiobooks are currently a one-time only download so you will need to contact iTunes Support to get a re-download of it) : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via Store > View My Account (Store > View My Apple ID on iTunes 11) and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find that audiobook and use the 'Report a Problem' link and fill in details about the problem (iTunes support should reply within, I think, about 24 hours).
If the 'report a problem' link doesn't work (it's been taking some people to this site on a browser instead of showing a form in iTunes) then you can try contacting iTunes support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page.

HT201272 My book did not download correctly. How do I download again?

My download failed. when i go into the itunes store it says it's downloaded. How can I redownload?

If it is an audiobook then you'll have to contact iTunes support via Express Lane or using the Report a Problem links in your account history. Unlike other media you're only entitled to one successful download of audiobooks (which you haven't had yet) but you should backup after downloading.

Book did not download to iPad looks like it went to the cloud. How to retrieve? Looks like trying to download on bookshelf timer going continuously running down battery

Perform a "hard reset" on the device by pressing down and holding the home button and the sleep/wake button for up to 30secs. until you see a black screen with the Apple logo, then release.
Then test to see if it solved the problem.

Today, 01/23/2014, I tried updating iTunes, as I got a messsage that update was available. The update did not download correctly I got the message to uninstall iTunes and reinstall it. After the uninstall and reinstall I got an error message, that stated: The program can't start because MSVCR80.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program fo fix. then I got the message, iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes. Error 7 (windows error 126) I have had iTunes since I purchased the iphone in 2012. I have only updated the product since then until today when I did the uninstall ans reinstall as stated in above directions. I am not sure what is different now. please help

I had this problem as well but found the soultion on another post from turingtest2 - it worked for me:
Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (Later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or by right-clicking the downloaded installer and selectingRun as Administrator.

TS1424 I have purchased and downloaded an album, but some of the songs did not download correctly as the songs are not complete. How do I redownload them without purchasing the album again.

I have purchased and downloaded an album, but some of the songs did not download correctly as the songs are not complete. How do I redownload them without purchasing the album again.

If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the track and try redownloading fresh copies.
Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.
(Not entirely sure what happens after you click that link, but fingers crossed it should be relatively straightforward.)

I attempted to download a song. It originally did not download correctly. I refreshed the download and it supposedly completed. Upon playing the song in both my library and on the Itunes store it will not play past the first 5 seconds. How can I fix this?

Hello Whitney262,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
I would go ahead and make sure you can first download the content, then remove the song from your iTunes Library, and download again from your iTunes past purchases. The article below will walk you through the entire process:

One song off an album did not download correctly?

If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copy of the track and try redownloading a fresh one. See the following document for instructions:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the item that is not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the item, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.

My music file did not download correctly and stops playing after a few seconds.

My music files did not download correctly from itunes and stop playing after a few seconds.

Assuming you are in a region where you are allowed to redownload your past purchases, delete the current copies from your iTunes library and then download again from your purchased history. If the problem persists, or that facility is not available in your region contact the iTunes Store support staff through the report a problem links in your account history.

Audio purchase did not download completely

Tonight I downloded two albums. After the first album completed downloading one track did not download at all. A track on the second album only plays a few seconds of audio and then skips to the next track even though the download window indicated the track fully downloaded. When I go to the Store Menu and Check For Available Downloads it says all my purchases have been downloaded. Thank you for any help you may be able to provide.

HT1473 I am having an error on Purchase from ITunes Store in downloading a song with the rest of an album. It is the only song that did not download correctly and nothing works from downloading from already purchased it says (-err = 100000)

Can Someone please help me understand why I just got scammed by Itunes for purchasing a song and not being able to download it because it autmatically makes me download it as the old file that I already purchased instead of rebuying it which is not working either.

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.
