Bought song won't download onto itunes

i bought a song from itunes. and it said that it had an error in downloading. a thing popped up and said something about needing to move things to the recycle bin to have more space because itunes could not save my library.
what do i do?

You should have at least 10%-15% of your computer hard drive free at all times. If you have less than that, it’s time to delete files and get a new hard drive.
i have 11.2 MB left and 5.57 GB used
How wold is this computer that it only has 6GB HD?
can you buy something to add more space?
Yes, a new HD. A 250 GB internal HD will cost maybe $75.

Most of my songs won't download onto my iPhone. Please help.

Okay, so I redeemed thirty dollars onto iTunes and bought a bunch of songs. I was listening to them for the rest of the night, and once I put on a different playlist in the morning, I noticed that the majority of all of my songs (some bought from iTunes and some downloaded from various websites) were there but wouldn't download. This had happened before with past purchases, but now it's happening with songs I didn't even buy. It's in the phase of "downloading," but it's not. I tried tapping the download buttons, and they just faded out with no activity whatsoever. Please help; I need my other songs desperately.

OK, assuming you have "automatically update all songs and playlists" checked in iPod properties and the songs were purchased from iTunes. Do the problem songs play OK in iTunes? An authorization problem is a possible case of not transferring.
Another possibility, the songs are not checked and you have "Only update checked songs" checked in your iPod properties.

I bought a song on my iPhone and now it wont download onto iTunes on my computer.

I bought a song on my iPhone and now it wont download onto iTunes on my computer, even when I checked for available downloads all it says is, "All purchases have been downloaded for ths Apple ID". What should i do?

Hello rahulseth,
I would recommend for these symptoms that you delete the song and re download it using this article:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519
That should resolve any issues with the downloaded file.
All the best,

Are you trying to download it over Wi-Fi over sync it to your device via iTunes? Do you have restrictions for installing applications enabled on your iPod Touch? To check, head to Settings -> General -> Restrictions.

HT1725 I bought an album and one of the songs won't download. It says that the file may be corrupt and to 'check available downloads' from the store menu.

How do I clear a song that won't download in Itunes? Also, can I get a refund for the song?

Hi Allan ..
From your iTunes library, right or control click the song then click Delete.
Apple's policy states that, "all sales are final" >> iTUNES STORE - TERMS AND CONDITIONS

I cannot seem to trace where the purchase went but it money is gone from account and I have no song.
Please help!

Starting at the end:
- When the movie or tv show does transfer onto your iphone/ipod touch you will be able to see it in the expanded view of your device in the "DEVICES" section.
- If the files are not on your device, then:
-- confirm you have SD or HD-SD video. HD-only content will not play and probably will not even sync. iTunes seems to reliably have SD versions with their HD distributions so this should not be an issue
-- confirm you are synch-ing the content to the ipod device by browsing the DEVICE view's Movie or TV Show tabs to confirm the movie or episode is 'checked'
- If the files are on the iPod and you cannot find them, check your Settings: General for Restrictions. If you restrict, for example the movies to "G" rating. PG and higher movies will sync but you will not be able to find them on the iPod!

My laptop recently crashed and is unsalvagable with my itunes library on it. My ipod touch has all of my music still on it. Is there a way that I can put the songs on my ipod onto itunes on my new computer??

Syncing to a new iTunes library or computer will erase your ipod. Only if you back up your iPod manually before syncing, you can restore your device from that backup again. A manual backup does not include the sync process.
Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your iPod to your new computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your ipod without syncing.
Transfer your purchases the same way, choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
When you connect your iPod for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the ipod for the first time.
Music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in itunes and transferred your purchases.
There is 3rd party software out there, but not supported by Apple, see this thread:http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0

Why my macbook won't download latest itunes?

my mac book won't download latest itunes? why?

Have you figured this out yet? I am having the sane trouble and can't get it to load either. I updated my older MacBookPro yesterday. I downloaded Leopard and then Lion. I currently have iTunes 10. I have a brand new iPhone 4S 16G, and a brand new iPad 2 3g 64g. I went with the 16g phone because I decided to use iCloud and not store all my songs and photos in the phone. However, now I can't seem to get iTunes 10.5 so the iCloud is just an idea at this point.
When I use the upgrade to 10.5 link on Apple's home page, my screen flashes and says "Upload successful." then I go into About iTunes and see that I'm still 10. There is no iCloud in my menu and I'm stuck.
I'm a regular PC user and am trying to convert myself over to Mac once and for all. So I'm early in the learning curve on how this all works.

Song won't play on itunes but plays on quicktime

I just downloaded an entire album (not off itunes). However when i click on the song in finder, iTunes opens up but doesn't even display my song. Nothing happens. Not only does it not play, there is not evidence I even clicked on the song.
However when I open it on Quicktime is plays just fine.
I made an email account containing one of the songs that won't play. If someone can maybe dissect why the song won't play in iTunes I'd greatly appreciate it.
<Edited by Host>
I've attached the song to the first email sent to myself. Maybe if you could look at how it's encoded or something to help figure this out.
Thanks in advance!

MP3 files have structures which can vary according to the dialect of mp3 used. Some applications will only look at a file if it is perfect. Some are willing to try pretty much anything. (Like reading a post on Apple Discussion. If somebody omits grammar, punctuation, capitalization, and sentence structure I might not even try reading it, but some are willing to try and can make sense of it in the end.) There's something not quite right with the file (um, if this is of dubious origins it might not be surprising). iTunes won't look at it, but Quicktime is willing to have a go and can make enough sense of it to play it.
I opened the file with MP3Trimmer (well worth the minimal shareware fee IMHO, and has a pretty liberal trial version). Normally it would open a file like that in a few seconds. It took it about a minute of scanning before it did. I then saved the file in mp3Trimmer (it doesn't recode it so there's no additional quality loss) and it fixed whatever it didn't like and I could add it to iTunes.

My iPhone 5 won't download fron itunes

My iPhone 5 won't download fron itunes. The icons show that they are waiting but no wireless activity is showing. If I reactivate the icons nothing happens. Very Frustrating!

I'm having the same problem... I just got the iPhone 5 today. I've done a reset... tried it on both WiFi and LTE... tried to download through iTunes... but still nothing.

I was trying to sync my itouch with my new mac, and some songs won't download because they are not authorized for this computer. But even after my computer was authorized they still won't sync. How do I fix this?

I have the same problem. It is only with tv shows and only with programs I have downloaded after the software update.
Apple support sent me the above link too....but it doesn't solve the problem...my computer is authorized and the content is in my library and will play on my Mac air, but it will not sync the tv shows, it keeps saying my computer isn't authorized for it.
No answers here, but you are definitely not alone with this issue.

How do I export songs from my iPhone onto iTunes? (The songs are from a seperate computer than the one I am trying to import the songs to)

How do I put songs from my iphone onto itunes?

The only way to do this is to purchase 3rd party software such as Touch Copy. iTunes will transfer purchased music from your phone to your iTunes library (by right-clicking on your phone in iTunes and selecting Transfer Purchases), but not music that wasn't purchased from iTunes. If the other computer is at your home, on the same network and logged into the same Apple ID you can use Home Sharing to copy music from one iTunes library to the other (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3819).
