  • 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!)

  • Why wont my Tv Show Download? it only says "download error. tap to retry" and tapping doesnt work it just keeps on saying the same thing.

    Why wont my Tv Show Download? it only says "download error. tap to retry" and tapping doesnt work it just keeps on saying the same thing.

    It appears in the download section of my itunes.
    I downloaded a season of Iron Man Anime and all of the episodes except episode 1 was downloaded. I looked at the error and it says "error = -50" and when I try to resume downloading, it continues to tell me that there is a download error and it wont resume.
    It also says to check my network connection, but I'm connected. So....I'm not sure what to do...this kind of ticks me off.

  • Why am I getting "download error, tap to retry" when I try to get music on my ipod?

    Hello HONEYBUN8679,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like you see the error message "unsupported colorspace" when trying to print with your Epson Stylus DX8400. It can be hard to say why this error has occured, and there are some troubleshooting steps that can help resolve it.
    First, make sure you've used Software Update to download the latest printer drivers, as mentioned here:
    OS X: Printer and scanner software available for download - Apple Support
    Use Software Update before connecting your printer or scanner. This updates the list of the latest supported printer and scanner models on your Mac. If you don't use Software Update before trying to connect a new printer, you might not see available software when you connect your device. If you're using a Wi-Fi printer, be sure to connect your printer to your Wi-Fi network before adding it to your Mac.
    Next, remove the printer from the Printers & Scanners section of System Preferences, restart your Mac, and re-add the printer. See this troubleshooting guide for detailed help with this step:
    Troubleshooting printer issues in OS X - Apple Support
    Delete the affected printer, then add the printer again.
    If you still see the error message, you may want to check with the manufacturer for additional printer software downloads and more help:
    Contact the printer vendor or visit their website for further assistance.

    All the best,

  • Download error tap to retry on ipad

    For some reason all my music disappeared from my iPad. i am attempting to download it again from iTunes. 2 songs downloaded and all the rest say Download Error. tap to Retry. I have made several attempts and no other songs will download. They are all just sitting there with the same error message.

    Same problem here on my iPhone 5S running iOS 7.0.2.

  • Download error tap to retry

    Download error tap to retry and I keepm getting the same error message.

    Before upgrading to iOS5, I downloaded 2 different podcasts everyday for months to my iPhone via my wireless network and it was flawless. I did not have to get on my computer and do a two step download. Now since the upgrade it happens everyday and the podcasts will not download to my iPhone. I get the same error as noted in the comments above. So I do not think this is a network problem. I think it is a problem with the upgrade.
    Having to do a 2 step download everyday when before I did not have too before is kind of a step back.
    If anyone knows how to get the download straight to my phone, please post.
    Thanks

  • Download error, tap to retry on song in download list even though has downloaded and plays on iPhone 5s

    I recently downloaded a song through iTunes on my IPhone.
    The song downloaded and can be played on the phone but iTunes is still say that the song hasn't fully downloaded. Comes up with 'Downloaded error, tap to retry' that I can't get rid of.
    This is strange as the song has completed downloading and can be played on the iPhone in its entirety!

    Hello Bdev15,
    I would be concerned too if the songs I purchased from iTunes were not downloading to my iPhone. You have taken some great troubleshooting steps already, and thank you for providing the details of the steps you too.  I have a few additional suggestions to get it downloaded to your iPhone.
    First, I recommend checking to see if the download was interrupted:
    If your download was interrupted using your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    From the Home screen, tap the iTunes app.
    For iPhone or iPod touch, tap More > Downloads. For iPad, tap Downloads.
    Enter your account name and password if prompted.
    Tap the blue download arrow to resume.

    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1725
    If the songs still do not download, next I recommend downloading the songs when connected to another network.  For example, if you are using the cellular network, you could switch to Wi-Fi, or you could try an alternate Wi-Fi network.  Follow the steps in the section titled "iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch > Music" in the article below to download the songs:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519
    If you are still not able to download the songs, you can report an issue with these purchases using the steps in this article:

  • I have several episodes of a TV show that say "download error, tap to retry" and when I do it just repeats that error message.  Can I get it to work? If not can I get reimbursed for the episodes I'm missing?  I'm using an iPad one which has worked fine B4

    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:

  • What to do with download error. tap to try

    I rented a movie last night, so it went to my downloads. after a few minutes, it stopped downloading and "download error. tap to try" appeared. What should I do? How do I redownload it?

    Hi, I have no problem with executing your source after copy paste to netbeans.
    Is "for example" code the same as code with error result?

  • Download error tap to retry : why do I get this message when trying to download movies purchased from iTunes? When I tap to retry, it says not at this time.

    When I try to download a movie, it says downloading error, tap to retry. So I tap and it says download not available at this time. Is it about storage?

    Usually when you don't have enough space, your iPad will tell you that.  To be sure, go to Settings > About and see how much space you have left.  If you have more than 5 GB, you likely have enough space.
    I'd try rebooting your iPad and see if that solves the problem.  Press and hold BITH the power and home buttons at the SAME time until you see the Apple Logo, then let go of BOTH buttons and your iPad will restart.

  • Itunes error. Download error. tap to retry

    I recently bought Inception on my Ipod touch and it went through processing but once it came to downloading it came with the message "download error. tap to retry" I've done it off and on for 3 days and nothing works. Please help.

    I can't confirm the 12 days part, but what I did find out is that the 3 songs I got did not appear as purchased items on my Apple ID I used for purchased, almost as if that connection was lost whenever I got the files (even if free from an iTunes promotion). The media files were on my OS X iTunes and I could transfer them to the phone, but I strongly believe because they are not attached to my Apple ID, and the download was interrupted somehow on the phone, that they appear as "not able to download".
    I would guess if Apple added these 3 songs to my purchased list it would go away - but I do not know if they could even do that without probably knowing some ID that would like it to the exact song to add.
    I tried a "reset all network settings" as the last resort before hanging up with an Apple tech (who was also not sure on how to solve). This did not work. Since this is not hampering my use of the phone, I will solve it some other day, perhaps when I next visit an Apple store and show them, maybe they would be interested in this scenario.
    For now, I think I would have to factory reset the whole phone to get rid of them.

  • ITunes download error, tap to retry

    I purchased some songs from iTunes, and all except 3 downloaded just fine. 3 songs keep coming up "Download error, tap to retry". I have tried numerous times to retry the download, but keep getting the error message. I cannot select and delete the downloads, either. Subsequent downloads are working fine. How can I get rid of these 3 downloads?

  • Itunes download error tap to retry - iphone 5s

    When downloading a song from itunes on my iphone I got the download error tap to retry. I tried restarting the iphone, signing out of itunes and restarting but still got the same error, but I can download new songs fine. So I connected the iphone to itunes on my PC, which downloaded the song and sync'd it to my iphone fine. However, now I have the song on my iphone, but it is also still stuck in downloads on the iphone even after syncing it with my pc?

    Did you ever get to the bottom of this? I have more or less same issue
