  • Download error message on ipad for all itunes purchases

    I am unable to download any of my purchases from itunes, music, movies, and tv shows on my ipad. When I click the download icon and the movie, for example, shows up in the downloads section of itunes with an error message "Download error: tap to retry". I have deleted the download using the swipe left & touching the Delete button. I have triede the multiple tapping of the down arrow, and even had to try an play the movies touching the play icon until the download cloud reappears and then the movie dissappears from the video window. No movie trailers will play either. The window opens up for a split second and that's it.
    I have rest the ipad back to new and tried all of the above. Nothing works.I was not having this problem prior to yesterday. I had music, movies and tv shows downloaded prior to the reset.
    What is the problem and what is the fix?

    Hello donada6240,
    That definitely sounds frustrating. We have two potential fixes:
    A) The issue may be isolated to your Wi-Fi network. Simply trying again on a different network will give us more insight into where the problem lies.
    B) If the issue does not occur on your computer with iTunes, you may be able to download the purchases there, then sync to your iPad.
    I highly recommend trying a different good-known network. And if it is indeed isolated to your network, see the following articles:

  • ITunes download error on the iPad

    I bought some videos on iTunes (episodes of 2 TV seasons). Most everything downloaded with no problems but there are 7 that didn't complete and show up on the iTunes download page as "Download error. Tap to retry."
    If I follow the directions and tap, the message briefly changes "waiting" then back to "download error. Tap to retry" and a moment later, a dialog box shows up that says "Unable to download episode. <episode title inserted> could not be downloaded at this time."
    On the videos app, those episodes showed up but wouldn't play.  I was able to delete the seasons by clicking on the Edit button on the TV Shows page, but still the iTunes Downloads icon shows a "7" badge.
    I tried downloading those episodes again but that didn't work.
    Any advice?

    I found the answer to my question in another part of this discussion forum.  I'm adding it here in case someone else sees my original post and wants to see the solution.
    To get rid of the download error, go to the download page and find the small down-pointing arrow icon next to the "download error. Tap to retry." text.  Put your finger on the down-pointing arrow icon and flick (quick short swipe) to the left.  The down-pointing arrow icon will be replaced with a "delete" button.  Tap the delete button.  Then confirm the delete in the modal popup window.
    That's it.  An easy solution, even though it took me many hours to find the answer.

  • I'm trying to download some purchased TV shows to my iPad Air.  I keep getting the dreaded Download Error Tap to Retry Message.  I've signed out of iTunes and back in.  I've updated my software.  I have plenty of room for them on the Air.  Help?

    I'm trying to download some purchased TV shows to my iPad Air.  I keep getting the dreaded Download Error Tap to Retry Message.  I've signed out of iTunes and back in.  I've updated my software.  I have plenty of room for them on the Air.  We are taking a long flight this week, and I wanted to have something new to watch.  I've read through lots of threads on this but I can't seem to find a good solution that I haven't tried.
    If I can get them to download them on my iMac computer, can I then transfer them to my iPad?  How is this done?  (Please pardon an older lady's ignorance, and thank you for any assistance!)

  • Movie Download error on iPad

    Have 1 one stuck on my downloads that keep reading download error every time I retry . I have reset my network setting, deleted some video space , reset all setting except content. I download amtv show and goes though just fine. The movie I want to download is stuck on this download state and can't seem to reset the download list . It downloads fine on other devices lie my iPad 2 or iPhones

    Hi chachirims!
    You have gone through some great troubleshooting steps, but if the download is still stuck after the options you have tried, then we might need to go ahead and restore the iPad. You will want to make sure you have a good back up of your data, and you can find instructions on how to do that here:
    iOS: How to back up and restore your content
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
    You will then want to follow the instructions in the article below in order to restore your operating system on your iPad:

  • Download error on ipad mini with amazon book

    i have downloaded many books that i have purchased on Amazon, onto my ipad mini kindle app with no problem.  This one book, however, won't download.  I get a msg "Download error."  not sure what to do.  I can't figure out how to delete it from the ipad.  Thx

    Turn off any auto-update, if it is on, then tap.any of the "circle icons" showing that a download is in progress, in order to stop the download. Then go to the Settings and reset the Network Settings. After the iPad starts back up, then check to make sure no apps are currently in progress of downloading. If any are, stop them again, and reset the network settings again. When it starts up again, none should be in the process of downloading. Then from that point forward, only download manually and never more than two at a time. If it is more than 100 MB, then do only one at a time. If any gets stuck at that point, then stop the download and reset the Network settings.
    That should take care of you for now. We'll see what another update brings ... IOS 8.2 (which might be the next one).

  • I've downloaded current update for iPad 2 but it won't install. It keeps coming up as an error. I have deleted many apps but didn't help the situation...

    I've downloaded current update for iPad 2 but it won't install. It keeps coming up as an error. I have deleted many apps but didn't help the situation... What's causing this and how do I fix this?

    What is the latest iOS for iPad 2? Is it iOS 7 or can you update to 8?
    all I remember is that my iPad mini performed poorly under iOS 7. Try to update it to the very latest version. Also you will have to use iOS 8.1.3, because 8.1.2 is no longer signed in case you were trying to install that. You can get the latest IPSW from http://IPSW.me just enter in your device and it will forward you to the right Apple ios download link.
    Another thing is keeping your device memory free, if you have a 16 gig device, it's harder to keep space free. my iPad mini is 16 gig, but all I can ever keep free is 1 GB so I keep it at that. Turn off "iCloud photo sharing beta" and that will help a little bit. also when you do a restore from iTunes, don't restore your backup right away, see how it performs fresh, and then add your apps back in one at a time you might have to sacrifice photos and other personal things for performance.

    I have several episodes of a TV show where it says download error, tap to retry and when I do it repeats the error message.  Can I get it to work or get reimbursed for the ones I'm missing?  I'm using an iPad 1 which has worked fine for all the others.

    Hi AlpineJean,
    I'm sorry to hear you are having issues downloading some episodes to your iPad.
    I would first suggest you sign out of your iTunes account on your iPad, restart the device and sign back in.
    Settings > iTunes & App Stores > Tap on your Apple ID account > Tap Sign Out
    Click on the link below for additional troubleshooting steps with more details and screenshots.
    I've quoted some helpful highlights for you:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    To view or download previously purchased:
    TV Shows on iOS
    Open the iTunes Store on your device.
    Make sure you are signed in with the same Apple ID you used for the original purchase.
    Tap More from the bottom navigation bar.
    Tap TV Shows.
    Locate the TV show episode or series you would like to download.
    Once you've located the TV shows you are looking for, tap the download button.
    The TV show will begin downloading.
    Previous purchases may be unavailable if they have been refunded or are no longer on the iTunes Store. Downloading previously purchased movies and TV shows requires iTunes 10.6 or later.
    If this does not resolve your issue, please follow these instructions for support from the iTunes Store:
    How to report an issue with your iTunes Store, App Store, Mac App Store, or iBookstore purchase
    Find the email receipt for your purchase.
    Click Report a Problem under the app that is having the issue.
    When prompted, enter the Apple ID and password you used to purchase the item, then click Report a Problem.
    Click Report a Problem next to the item you are having an issue with.
    From the Choose Problem dropdown menu, choose the appropriate issue.
    Follow the onscreen instructions and—if prompted—type a description of the problem into the text field.
    Click Submit to have your issue reviewed.
    Have a great day!

  • HT4095 I have tried to download 2 movies onto my iPad but I keep getting a download error message. What do I do now? I have already tried turning the iPad off and on again-still nothing.

    I have tried to download 2 movies onto my iPad but I keep getting a download error message. What do I do now? I have already tried turning the iPad off and on again…still nothing.

    Try closing iTunes and reset your iPad. After the iPad starts up, try the download again.
    To close an app, drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the iTunes app then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • HT201210 Have been able to download ios6 for my iPhone but neither of my iPads will download the new operating system. I get a download error message.

    I cannot update my ipad2 to ios6. I get a download error. Have tried many times and on different wifi connections. Does anyone know how to overcome this.

    I really do not think it is the iPad or your network connection. Other users have reported this very same issue. Try this and see if it works for you - it may not work - but it's easy to try - harmless - and it has worked in the past for others.
    Try signing out of your account and restart your iPad.
    Go to Settings>Store>Apple ID and tap the ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button. Go back to Settings>Store> Apple ID and sign in again.
