Download error for purchased song

I purchased a song from iTunes on my iPhone but keep getting a "Download error." Any ways to fix this?
I have never had this problem until downloading iOS 7 in case it is related.

On a whim I decided to try downloading a different song. This new song downloaded instantly and then the song that kept giving a "download error" finally downloaded. Go figure.
In case that doesn't work for you, Apple support sent me a message with the following suggestions (though the suggestions don't seem particularly helpful)...
Thank you for contacting Apple.
Based on the details you provided, we think you might find the following information helpful:
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
Downloading past purchases from the iTunes Store, App Store, and iBooks Store
iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
Sincerely,
Apple Support

Purchased songs from iTunes and some of them won't download, it says "download error, try again". Has anyone else had this problem and what do I do to fix it?

If they work on your PC, then unsync them from the phone and resync.
If they do not work on your PC, redownload from Past Purchases, then unsync from phone and resync

Re-download artwork for purchased songs

I noticed that iTunes 7 hasn't actually transferred artwork out of the song tags of previously purchased songs so I thought I'd delete the artwork and use the Get Album Artwork feature. I wanted it to be more efficient and use the new method of storing one cover per album instead one inside every track. It doesn't work even though the songs are clearly in the store, so I had to copy the artwork back in manually. I only tried it on a couple of songs so no harm done.
There seems to be a block on using the service to download covers for iTunes purchased tracks. Is this correct?

No, not in my experience.
This is what I did with an album I purchased over a year ago:
Select all tracks of the album.
Get Info
Check 'Artwork'
Click OK
All artwork will be removed from the tracks (I did save a copy in case it didn't work or the album was not available anymore)
Still, with all tracks selected, Get Album Artwork.
Presto. 1 picture (.itc file)appearing in the Download folder.
Selecting only one track will also get the artwork.
The new file which appeared in the Download folder was detected by GraphicConverter as having a jpeg datastream. After decoding it showed the correct picture.
Hope this helps.

TS3297 iPad. I removed music for storage That take re of and all nusic off of keeps on saying download error for purchased music. Two weeks

I cannot download purchased music on iPad 2. Error It is not a storage issue

I also had system issues a couple of weekends ago. I had to restore my computer. Once complete I reinstalled iTunes and then set all of my backup files in place (I back up my iTunes folder everytime I purchase something). The problem is, everytime I click on anything I purchased, movie or song, it tells me I am not authorized on this computer. I also am using just one computer and have been using the same one for the last couple of years. I attempted to deauthorized my system by following the instructions here in the forum plus instructions found on the site. After aproximatly 30 minutes I gave up on entering my user name and password over and over and over again. Do you know of anything else I can try? Thank you for the assistance:-)

Place the iPod in recovery mode using one of these programs and thenretore via iTunes:

in iTunes, access your *purchase history* via your account in the iTunes store,
find the file(s) in question, and click on the *report a problem button*. report the problem. more info in [this|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1933] support article.

oh the error msg error= -100000

I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the item that is not downloading properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the entry, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.
(Not entirely sure what happens after you click that link, but fingers crossed it should be relatively straightforward.)

Sorry, I am not sure what you are doing.
You can only download songs from Apple iTunes Store or sync from computer iTunes music section.

I just purchased a new Mac and I am trying to download my previously purchased songs. I am only getting a portion of each song though. What is happening and how do I fix it?

I just purchased a Mac and downloaded my previously purchased songs from iTunes, however it only downloaded a portion of the song (about 1:15) and this appears to be the same on all of the songs. What is happening and how can I fix it?

Hello Pork Chop 2,
Congratulations on your new Mac! It sounds like your purchased songs are not playing completely after you downloaded them. I recommend to following steps for an issue like this:
Symptoms
Occasionally, if a song purchased from the iTunes Store on a Mac or PC was not downloaded completely, the song may not play back fully. The song may abruptly stop during playback, and iTunes may start playing the next song in your library or playlist.
Resolution
If iTunes in the Cloud is available in your country, try the following steps to resolve the issue:
Delete the purchased song that is exhibiting the problem from your iTunes library.
Click on the Purchased link in the iTunes Store to view your previously purchased music.
Download your previously purchased song from this list.
You can find the full article here:
Songs in iTunes may not play back completely

HT201272 I'm having trouble downloading a previously purchase song to my iCloud so I can access it from another device. The iCloud download button is not there. Help?

I'm having trouble downloading a previously purchase song to my iCloud so I can access it from another device. The iCloud download button is not there. Help?

I agree. I don't rely on iCloud as a backup, that is what I have my portable hard drive for. Its 500 GB so I can hold my entire iTunes library several times over on it. I have all my movies on my hard drive, but somehow "The Mist" got deleted off of my hard drive, so I figured "Well, the option to redownload an already purchased movie is available through iCloud, I'll just do that!"
And permissions and download availability have nothing to do with it, the movie's still there, it still allows me to redownload it. The only problem is when I click download, I get that message.
And nobody else uses my computer, but I do have multiple accounts authorized on it. Even still though, I am attepmpting to download it through the account I purchased it under. :/

Re-downloading all previously purchased songs

Hiya,
Just wondering if there is a quick and easy way of re-downloading all previously purchased songs onto my iTunes (I have purchased a new computer and the old one is dead). I have already authorised this computer, but short of going and finding all the purchases I have made in the past, can I just re-download them to here?
Cheers.

As Apple clearly point out in the Terms of Use / Purchase, downloads are allowed to be made once only.
You cannot download your music again, it is your responsibility to have made backups of your music files in case of loss.
Just as a record store won't replace a lost CD, Apple will not replace lost downloads.
I suggest you either transfer the music you purchased from the old computer to the new computer, or you get a copy of the music out of your last backup.
If you cannot access the old computer and you do not have a backup then do you have the purchases on an iPod / iPhone? If you do then you can connect the device to iTunes (DO NOT SYNC THE DEVICE WITH ITUNES as that would erase the content from the device). Once connected use the 'Transfer Purchases' option you will find in the file menu in iTunes.
If you have not got the music on an iPod, etc then all you can do is send a very polite and humble email to Apple using the 'Report a problem' feature in the Account area of iTunes and ask them to allow you to download all your music again. It has been known for Apple to allow this to be done, but they don't need to do so and may refuse.
If they do then you will have lost all your purchased music, your fault not theirs.

Open the iTunes Store on your device.
Make sure you are signed in with the same account used for the original purchase.

Tap Music.
Once you've located the music you are looking for, tap the download button.
