Can't download songs from my Itunes Plus upgrade

Hi,
I upgraded 262 songs to Itunes Plus this past Saturday and I've been unable to download them. I've downloaded lots of songs before so I know I can download songs.
Everytime I go to the Downloads tab it shows "262 Itunes downloads available" at the bottom of the window but when I click the down arrow to start downloading, Itunes says it's "checking for downloads..." for a while and then says:
"Unable to check for downloads. The network connection timed out."
Can someone explain what the problem is?
Thanks,
Nick

Hi Tim,
I got things to work. I ended up emailing iTunes support and explaining the problem. He cut back the number of songs I had to download to 150 and after he did that I was able to download all of them. He then enabled the rest of the songs for download and I was able to download them. I think there is a limit to how many songs can be downloaded at one time, maybe 200 I think I saw somewhere else on here. So if you have more than 200 songs you are stuck until you contact iTunes support. But once I did it was very straighforward the the support guy responded very quickly after I downloaded each batch. So I think you'll need to email support and explain the problem.
Hope this helps.
Nick

    Yes Deborah,
    Actually it's as smiple as plugging in the iPod and registering it, this will be done by a step by step dialog box when you first plug it in. After that it will show up in your device list on the left side. Just drag the song from the music library in iTunes to the iPod device that is his. You can drag single songs, complete albums or even complete genres. If it is a iTouch you get him, you can also click the music tab on the iTouch device in iTunes when you plug it in and you can just check off artist names or just certain albums. Also on a iTouch on the summary screen you can click the sync with iTouch over Wi-Fi check box and you will no longer have to plug it to the computer to sync. Also, since they are two different devices the music on one will not affect the music on another. This goes for any iOS device, iPods, iTouches, iPhones, and iPads.
    Hope that helps.

  • Can I download songs from iTunes used for my 80GB to a shuffle?

    I want to know if I buy a shuffle can I download songs from my iTunes for my 80GB iPod? Will it mess anything up trying to download to the two separate devices? Also, can I upload my playlist from my 80GB iPod to another computer and then download from that computer to a shuffle?
    Thanks,
    tim

    In the simplest terms, one PC/Mac, many iPods.
    Many PCs/Macs, then you must use manual mode.
    The exception being the Shuffles. They only work with one machine at a time.

    can you download songs from itunes match from the cloud to your iPhone ie for times when you dont have internet connection?

    Unless you have an Internet connection you cannot access iCloud. You can download your music from iCloud to store permanently on your iPhone, but only when you have an Internet connection to do so.

    Sorry I somehow managed to click the wrong thing and made a silly mistake, as I had hoped.
    Can a moderator please remove this thread as I have resolved my problem.
    Kind regards,

  • Can I download songs from a different itunes account onto my ipod?

    Can I download songs from a different ipod account onto my ipod without affecting anything?

    Different account or different computer?  It is two completely seperate things.
    While it is possible to have media on the device from multiple accounts it is not possible to sync with multiple computers.

  • How can I export songs from my iTunes to a mail program or laptop?

    How can I export songs from my iTunes to a mail program/computer? The songs in question are originals composed by my boyfriend in Garage Band. We have full rights to them, but they import into iTunes like all the other artists songs. His hard drive crashed and I have the only copies. I have no access to my iMac for 2 months while we tour our show and we need them on the tour. We are in dire straights if we can not access these songs and the iPad will not hook up to our equipment. Plus we need to add a track to a promotional video. So how can we access our own music?
    Thanks.

    If they are in the iPad's Music app then the only way to get them out of it is by connecting the iPad to a computer. As they aren't iTunes purchases you won't be able to copy them back to a computer's iTunes via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases, instead you will need a third-party program on the computer to copy them off - there are some listed half-way down this page which should work: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991

  • How do i download songs from my itunes account to wifes ipod nano?

    How do download songs from my itunes account to my wifes ipod nano with her own account?

    To what iTunes library is the nano normally synced? The iTunes library you use (i.e. all tracks are in a single iTunes library). An iTunes library in a different user account on that same computer? Another computer? We need to know your setup and scenario before we can offer intelligent advice.

    Hi gene98,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    It sounds like you still need to change the country for your iTunes Store account. Please review the attached article for information and instruction on how to do so.
    Change the country of your iTunes Store, App Store, iBooks Store, and Mac App Store account

  • How can I download songs from Glee and American Idol?

    How can I download songs from Glee and American Idol?

    You can search for those on the iTunes store from your computer.
    If the iTunes store sells them, then you can purchase them and sync them to your iPod.
    Open itunes on your computer.  Go to the iTunes store.  Search for whatever you like.  If you find it, then you can purchase it.
    Then sync it to your iPod.

  • How can i put songs from my itunes on my computer onto my iphone

    how can i put songs from my itunes on my computer onto my iphone?
    The newest version of itunes seems to be a little more difficult to do this than past versions. I plug in my iphone to my computer and it does not allow me to "drag" songs into my iphone option anymore. Help!
    The songs I am trying to get on my iphone are from CDs that I have purchased outside of the itunes store. Can I not put those on my iphone anymore?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Select the phone in the device list in iTunes, navigate to the music tab, check the music you want iTunes to sync with your phone, click the apply/sync button.

    I can't do it that way. I erase these songs from the iTunes Library, but when I sycronize the iPhone, all these songs are copied again to the Library. Isn't there any way to stop that? Everything I buy on iTunes Store through my iPhone cannot be erased from the iPhone?
    WHY can't you do it the way 100 million people do it?
