Cannot download U2's "Songs of Innocence" from iTunes
I go into iTunes and go to Purchased the U2 title in not present. I looked up the Album in the store it states it is Purchased. I have attempted to click on the Album icon that will very briefly cause the album properties to change from 'purchased' to 'Free' and attempt to prompt the download that way. I have had no success. Any other thoughts?
Hi. None of the above solved the problem for me. Instead, I had to go (in my iphone) to adjustments, then to Itunes store & app store, and there uncheck music and videos from showing up (even if not on the iphone), uncheck automatic downloads (for music), and I did check "use mobile data" for automatic downloading.
After that, I went back to the itunes store, and the free download button reappeared.
hope it works for you,
regards.

When I downloaded IOS5, I accidentally downloaded thousands of songs, so now I have no room to download my magazines. How can I delete the music from my IPad without losing my ITunes account. I listen to my music from another medium and I don't need it on my IPad. any good suggestions?
Your iTunes account is totally separate from your iPad. If you delete music from the iPad it will still be in your iTunes library on your computer. I don't keep much, if any, music at all on my iPad because I just don't need it. I still listen to that music on my iPhone, my iPod classic, and my iMac.

Since installing. 7, I have lost the ability to download movies on iPad and view purchased items, therefore I can' transfer from computer to iPad either. Movie section of iTunes appears frozen, but all other sections of iTunes work. Short of reset, any suggestions? I want 6 back!
Also, this just started happening a few days ago. I was downloading iTunes Extras files just fine about a week ago.

How to download songs and movies from iTunes? e top bar...
How to download songs and movies from iTunes? The music and movie tab is not on the top bar at the iTunes store...
To use the iTunes Store in a country you need a credit card issued in that country, billed to an address in that country, and also be physically present in that country when using the store. Basically all you have access to would be anything offered in South Africa unless you move to a different country.
It's the media owners who get to tell Apple where and where they cannot sell their media. I'm sure Apple would be happy to take your money but if the media companies are not happy then they can say no to sales in SA.
Even if there were a way to bypass this we certainly couldn't tell you on this forum because it would violate the Terms of use of this web site and get the whole topic removed. -
Hi - I keep receiving the following error message on a song I purchased from itunes and am now trying to drag and drop to my iPad: "you must download items from icloud before you can copy then to iPad" what does this mean - please help! Thank you
Hi Poonam26c,
If you do not have a local copy of a song which you have purchased (i.e. it is available via iTunes in the Cloud), you may need to redownload it before you can transfer it to your device. You may find the following article helpful:

Sorry for stupid question. I have just got a download of a piano accompaniment (not from Itunes). I have played it and think downoaded it but where did it go?! I cannot find it anywhere! Thank you!
Generally it is not possible to download anything from a web site when using an iPhone, so if you were just using Safari, you probably didn't actually download the track but just played it from the web site. If you used some other app, tell us what app and someone may be able to provide further assistance.

How do I download the songs I purchased from itunes onto my older ipod nano...I believe it is a 2nd generation? I plug it into my computer, but nothing happens!!!
Hello shay82578,
It sounds like you are trying to sync music from iTunes to your iPod nano. I found some articles with steps to sync music to your iPod:
If you are using iTunes 11, you will want to follow the steps in this article:
iTunes 11 for Windows: Set up syncing for iPod, iPhone, or iPad
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12313
If you are using an earlier version of iTunes, you can follow the steps in this article:
iTunes: Syncing media content to iPod
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1351
To be able to sync music from iTunes to your iPod nano, the music will need to be on the computer rather than streaming from iTunes in the Cloud. You can find the steps to download your purchased music to your computer's hard drive under the section titled, "Apps, Books, Music, Movies, or TV shows on a computer" in the following article:

I am trying to use songs I purchased from iTunes, from my library if you will, in my video (slideshow) using Windows Movie Maker.
Does anyone know if that is possible to do? If so, would you please tell me how to do that?Hello, a1p2r3.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
There are a couple options available to you to transfer purchased media to your computer. Below, I have included a couple articles that outline this process.
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1848
Please note that this feature works only for items that were purchased on the iTunes Store. Any items imported from audio CDs or acquired from other sources will not copy from your iPod to the iTunes library.

I wiped my ipod classic and then my computer crashed, so i no longer have the songs i purchsed from itunes on my ipod or computer! I have a new computer now with itunes installed, can I get the songs purchased previously from itunes somehow?
Yes, you can!(:
STEP 1: Open iTunes
STEP 2: Navigate to the "iTunes Store". It can be found under the "STORE" tab.
STEP 3: On the right side of the store there should be a "Quick Links" Section. Click on the "Purchased" link.
STEP 4: Navigate to the "Music" tab and click on "All Songs". Then at the bottom of the screen there will be a button that says "Download All". Click the button and your songs will be begin downloading!
NOTE: This will only work with songs that you bought from the iTunes store, if you imported them from a CD, you will have to do it again.
NOTE: You can also do this with Apps, Movies, TV Shows, and Books.
NOTE: You may have to sign in with your Apple ID to verify the download.
Hope this helped! Enjoy your music!(: -

UK(1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
(2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
(3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
(4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
(5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time? -
I have 6-7 incomplete songs after purchase from Itunes. I sent out an email to find out how do I correct this problem? Follow-up 219141808
Welcome to the Apple Community.
Try deleting the problematic file (electing to remove original file if/when prompted) and then re-downloading the file from the iTunes store.
You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option from the Quick Links section in the top right corner of the iTunes homepage in your iTunes application on your computer.
You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option at the bottom of the screen of the iTunes app (or video app) on your iOS device.
If the problem re-occurs, select the content which is causing a problem and use the 'Report a problem' button in Your Purchase History using your computer.
