Can't download purchased music to video iPod

I can't download purchased music and videos to my new 30GB video iPod.
When I try to copy videos or purchased I get an error "iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close" and iTunes quits after I close the dialog.
I ran the iPod Updater 2006-01-10 and Restored my iPod. I can download mp3s and a video I created in QT Pro but not purchased music or videos.
I uninstalled all previous iPodSetup installations, iTunes, QuickTime, rebooted and deleted the iTunes prefs file at:
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\SC Info\SC Info.sidb
I reinstalled iPod Updater 2006-01-10 and iTunes 6.0.2 and rebooted.
The problem remains.
Generic   Windows XP Pro   3GHz P4, 1GB RAM

The problem is on my home computer. I am able to download the same purchased music from my work computer. I've not tried downloading it from my home computer while logged in as a different user. I'll try that tonight. The error message can be viewed at http://knouse.org/images/ituneserror.jpg

  • Computer crashed...can I download my music from my ipod to my computer?

    my computer crashed and all the music I had was erased but my ipod still has it. Is there a way I can download it from my ipod to the computer?

    Hello la chefesse,
    And welcome to Apple Discussions!
    There are several ways you can pull the music off your iPod and onto iTunes. The first link below provides step-by-step instructions for the direct method if you have a PC as well as a few third party applications (for both the Mac and PC) if you choose to go that route instead. You can also do a simple Google search for "copy music from iPod to computer" and you should receive a number of sites that can help you out.
    Just make sure that when you have your iPod plugged into your computer, that you don't hit "Erase and Sync" before completing the task of copying your music over.
    Also, if you have any purchased music, you will probably have to re-authorize your computer by heading to the Store drop down menu and choosing "Authorize computer."

  • Can I download my music from my iPod to my ipad

    I want to put the music from my iPod to my iPad, can I do it without going back to my library on my desktop

    If it is music purchased from iTunes and you are in a country that allows it, open iTunes on the iPad and go to purchased.
    If you have iTunes match-go under settings, music and turn it on.
    Go under music on iPad, you will music listed with a cloud icon. Click on it to download.
    You cannot connect iPod to iPad.

  • Can't download purchased music on iphone 5

    I recently downloaded some albums onto my PC and when I go on my phone to download them to my iphone 5 all it shows is a purchased(faded) and does nothing when I push the button to download the album to my phone.  How can I get the purchased albums onto my iphone without having to sync my music as I the new computer i'm using doesn't have any of the music and I will lose it all.

    In iTunes app:
    More tab on bottom - Purchased - Music - Not on This iPhone
    You will need to be on wifi unless you have Use Cellular Data selected under iTunes & App Stores in Settings.

  • Can't download purchased music from iTunes from an authorized Mac

    I went from a PC to a MacBook Pro in September. When I try to play a particular album, it's got that exclamation point after all the songs on it. After doing a lot of research, I think this happened when I was still using my PC. So what I moved to my Mac didn't include this album (and lots of other songs, but this was a fairly recent purchase on my PC). And my backups to Mozy don't have the missing music either. When I go to Purchased in Store, the downloaded is greyed out and I can't download it again to my Mac. My Mac is authorized as one of the 5 allowed. This album is on my iPad, but I've looked everywhere and can't figure out how to sync my iPad to my MacBook as opposed to Mac to iPad. Any suggestions? I'm pretty frustrated. I have lots of missing songs and from looking for my answer here, I see it's a common problem. But I should be able to download it again to my Mac if it's authorized, right? Thanks!

    Bumping for a reply.  Any help would be appreciated.

  • Can't download purchased music.

    I purchased an album a few days ago and am unable to download the songs. I get an error that reads "There was a problem downloading. An unknown error occurred(-50). Please check that the connection to the network is active and try again."
    Network is active.
    Checked that properties for itunes are set to enable my downloading purchsed music (and I have done it hudreds of times before).
    Even moved the whole library as that was recommended on one apple page.
    E-mailed Apple support and have not received a response. Surprising as I won't purchase more music until I get this resolved.
    Help!
    thanks

    I´ve got exactly the same problem as Adrian. Suprised that iTunes Musicstore doesn´t respond to this problem. Is this a common problem? Anyone knows what to do?
    Many thanks!

  • I can't download purchased music from iTunes to my PC

    All of my music is gone from my PC.  I recently did an iPad backup, and for whatever reason, the music is gone from the PC.
    The music is still accessible on my iPad.
    In the iTunes store, when I go to Purchased Music and click on the All tab, all of the songs I have purchased are there, but there isn't a cloud download button available for the songs.
    How do I get the songs back on my PC?

  • Can't download purchased music - no option available on Purchased link

    Hi All,
    I've just bought a new mac.  I started to move files across from my Windows PC via memory stick.  Long story short i've managed to delete some of my purchased content.  I managed to recover some of the files directly from my ipod, but others I can't get hold of.  I have looked them up on the itunes store and it says that those tracks are already purchased, so won't give me the option to download again.  Most help suggestions point me towards the Purchased link in the itunes store - however all I can see is Apps and Books - there is no Music option.
    Can anyone advise how I can recover these lost purchases???

    You only get one download.
    Unless you are in the U.S.  Then you can use the recently released icloud beta version. 
    Are you in  the U.S.?

  • Why isn't my cover art showing up when i download purchased music to my ipod touch?

    sadly when i buy music from the itunes store the cover art shows up but then when i download it to my ipod touch 4 generation it doesnt show up. i have the newest version of itunes. some one help, the cover art is easier for my brother to detect songs.

    If by cover art, you mean Cover Flow, then ensure that potrait orientation is not locked by bringing in the multi-tasking bar (Double clicking the home button), swiping to the right and make sure that there is no lock icon!
    Then you can rotate your iPod and see your music in Cover Flow!

  • Can not download purchased music.

    I purchased two songs with an itunes gift card. When I went to download them it did not work. As I can see from other posts I am not the only person with this problem, that makes me wonder. I do not like itunes taking money from me then not letting me have the song. I do not appreciate owning a song that I can not listen to. It is extremly frustrating and I need help. I understand that people are probalbly tired of answering this subject of help, but I ask you to please explain to me why this is not working properly.

    I did a search on "50" in the Search Discussions and this looks like it might help

  • Can I download Purchased music from my iPhone to my wife's using my user id in her iPhone and then login back with her id?

    We both have different ids, I want to download the songs I've purchased in my iPhone using my id to her iPhone. I was thinking to login using my id into her iTunes in her phone and download them and then re-login using her's. Does that work? Does that keep all the songs once I re-login using her's?
    Thanks in advance!

    You can use home share on the pc.

  • How can i get my music from my ipod to another device?

    my ipod is dying  and i'm trying to get all my music off it to put on a new devise. How do I do this?

    You don't have them in iTunes on your computer now? If not, see this support article:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848
    For content not purchased from the iTunes Store, check out this post from Zevoneer for some iPod/iPhone media recovery options:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=10570955#10570955
    This of course presumes that the iPod works well enough to do the transfer. If not, then you can re-download purchased music from the iTunes Store - look under the Purchased section in the Quick Links.
    Regards.
