Can't purchase a song from an Album that I cancelled the pre-order for?

Ok, so here's the deal, I bought a £15 voucher and made some purchases, the first of which was the pre-order of an Album that was released today (Sunday 24th). I didn't know however, that the cost of the purchase was deducted from your balance once you actually downloaded the album, and I've spent my credit to the point where I'm pennies of being able to pay for the pre-order of the Album. I decided however, to hit cancel pre-order and simply just download the songs that I could afford, then download the wrest at a later date. However, the album that I've cancelled my pre-order for, still displays as 'Purchased'? I was able to download one song for pre-ordering the album, but that was a deduction of 99p, the price of a single song. I'm curious why I cant't purchase the wrest of the album individually, am I tied to the pre-order because I downloaded a song that was advertised as 'Early Access', or do I now have to pay the full cost of the Album because I've surpassed the deadline to cancel the pre-order (if there is such a thing).
Some one please help me
P.S. I've only been using iTunes for less than a week, so I'm pretty much a noob.

Delete the problem track from the iTunes library, allowing iTunes to move the track file to the Trash. Then download the track again from the iTunes Store via this procedure:

That fixes the problem for many people. If problems with the track persist, go here:
iTunes Support
and follow the instructions to report the issue to the iTunes Store.

Help! When I try to purchase a song from iTunes and have agreed to the terms and conditions, it then tells me that my session has timed out... but I've only been trying for a few minutes. I can't buy songs if it keeps doing this!

Help! When I try to purchase a song from iTunes and have agreed to the terms and conditions, it then tells me that my session has timed out... but I've only been trying for a few minutes. I can't buy songs if it keeps doing this! Does anyone know why it's doing this and how to fix it? Thanks!

Hi mterry1723, one solution that might be worth trying is this:
- Close iTunes, if it's open
- Open Safari and got to 'Preferences'
- Select 'Security' on the top
- Untick all the security options in the menu
- Click the 'Show Cookies' button and look for all the 'apple' entries in the left-hand column.
- Highlight them (select them collectively) and press 'Remove'
- Now open iTunes and buy the song as usual.
- You may be asked to do the same security process as before, so do as asked.
- Hopefully, the security check will now have accepted your answers and start downloading the song as normal.
Remember to re-tick all the required security options you had just un-ticked in Safari preferences. You don't need to bother about opening the cookies again.
I hope this has worked for you and my profoundest apologies if it has not. Worth a go, though!
I did see this thread: https://discussions.apple.com/message/18259935#18259935 which may be of more help, mainly the last entry by 'c2boyd'

Can I purchase a song from itunes from my iphone and use it as a ringtone? If so, how can I do that?

Can I purchase a song from itunes from my iphone4, and use it as a ringtone? If so, how?

You can purchase ringtones from the iTunes store. If a song available via the iTunes store is not also licensed by those who own the distribution rights to be sold/downloaded as a separate ringtone, no.

When attempting to purchase a song from i-tunes that was on an old ipod that I had to replace, the song is marked as 'purchased' and grayed out. Is there a way that I can download these previously purchased items onto my new ipod?

Lori,
If you upgrade to iTunes 10.3, you can redownload your past purchases from the iCloud. Just go to the home page of the iTunes Store and click on "Purchased" under "Quick Links." It will bring up a list of your past purchases that are not currently in your library, with a little arrow icon that lets you download.

How do I get all the songs from an album to show in the album view? Currently, if an album lists the artist plus a guest artist, those are shown separately and appear to be two different albums on my iPod. How do I get all the songs on that album togeth

How do I get all the songs from an album to show in the album view? Currently, if an album lists the artist plus a guest artist, those are shown separately and appear to be two different albums on my iPod. How do I get all the songs on that album together on my iPod? If the album is a collaboration wtih many artists, each sond may appear as a separate album.

I used to have this problem.
First, you need to go back on iTunes
you need to go to each of the songs that are having this problem
Click the album so all the songs drop down
Right click the songs that have this problem
Click ' Get info '
Click the tab that says " info '
The box that says ' album artist ' should probably be empty (correct me if I'm wrong)
Click it and type the artist of the entire album, NOT the songs guest artist
as such,
ARTIST
JAY-Z Feat. Justin Timberlake
ALBUM ARTIST
JAY-Z
These should be separate for each artist
If you write the same album artists for each song by that artist, all the songs should be on 1 album

I purchased a song from iTunes on my iPhone, downloaded the song and now I am unable to play it on my iPhone. It just keeps skipping to the next song and won't play it on my iphone but rather only on my laptop.....

Hey pnazaryan
If the purchased content is not playing, delete the songs from the Music app by swiping at the song. Then go through the process of downloading the track again.

How can I play a song from an album, but when it's finished, shuffle randomly through all songs in my library?

I know I could simply use the 'songs' tab from the top, but I prefer using the 'album' tab as I like the display of album art. However when a song or album has finished, it does not shuffle to another radnom song. Since most of my albums are 'Singles', I can only listen to one song this way before havign to manually choose another.

HT204411 How can I purchase a song from one country when it is only available in another country.

I would like to purchase a song by a Canadian artist using my Canadian Apple account but her entire album is only available in the united states store. I don't know how to keep my current balance and purchase the song through my Canadian iTunes account.

The USA iTunes Store can only be used by customers with a billing address in the USA, and who are physically in the USA at the time of purchase.
Do check the artist's website. It may provide guidance on other online sources where the album is available for download.

HT1689 How can I purchase a song from I tunes US when I have a UK account and it won't allow me to?

Trying to purchase Puccini from the UK store but only way is on the US site but won't allow me? What's the problem god it is frustrating.

You can only purchase content from your own country's store - to be able to buy form the US store you will need a valid US billing address and be in the US when buying from it. You can try requesting that it be added to the UK store, but ultimately it's the record company that will have to grant Apple a license to sell it here : http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunes.html

If I buy a song from a single, and I buy a song from an album that that song is in, does that song become part of that album

I bought a single from 30 Seconds to Mars a while ago, Kings and Queens. Now I want to buy the song This is War, from another album with the same name, but the song from the single is also part of that album. If I buy that song, does my single song automatically go under that album in my library, or does it stay a single?

Sounds like you have abn expired credit card linked o yoru accopunt.
View your iTunes account payment info and select None for the CC.
You may need to first add a valid card number before you can remove it.

I have one song from an album that I bought at itunes that won't play. Instead a dialog box comes up saying this computer is not authorized. When I put in my apple id and password, it says this computer is already authorized. How do I get this fixed?

This album is American Idol Top 4 Season 12 - the song that brings up the dialog box is Emotion by Candice Glover.
Is there a way to redown load the album with out repaying? Is that the best fix??
Thanks,
Scott

How do you add songs from iTunes 11 that is not the main synced library to an old 80GB classic iPod?

My boyfriend and I found his old 80GB iPod classic in his stuff. I synced it to my Macbook Pro. I was then trying to sync all his music from his iMac onto the iPod so that the iPod contained both libraries, but in the iTunes 11 I cannot manually drag and drop all the music onto the iPod. I could've with the other devices on the computer but not the iPod Classic. Is it just too old? How can I put all our music onto this one iPod?

See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.
