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.

    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!)

    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 do I download a movie on iTunes on my ipad, because when it gets to the end of the download it says download error tap to retry but when you retry it still doesn't work.

    How do I download a movie on iTunes on my ipad, because when it gets to the end of the download it says download error tap to retry but when you retry it still doesn't work.

    You can't if you rented and downloaded it on your iPad, you can only watch it on that. From http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1657 :
    If you download a rented movie on your computer: You can transfer it to a device such as your Apple TV (1st generation), iPhone, iPad, or iPod if it’s a standard-definition film (movies in HD can only be watched on your computer, iPad, iPhone 4 or later, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV). Once you move the movie from your computer to a device, the movie will disappear from your computer's iTunes library. You can move the movie between devices as many times as you wish during the rental period, but the movie can only exist on one device at a time.
    If you download a rented movie on your iPhone 4 or later, iPad, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV: It is not transferable to any other device or computer.
    Does the rental not show in the iPad's Videos app ? You shouldn't need to go via the iTunes store app.

    Trying to download a movie on my iPad and constantly receive a download error tap to retry. iPad has enough capacity.

    Tap to retry to download and when it starts attempting to download again tap on the pause button. Once it is paused, tap the button again to resume the download. However you need to be really fast doing this!
    Good luck!

  • Youtube app not working "error tap to retry" on ipad 4. Tried holding home button and off together and delete and download agin both didn't work

    Youtube app not working "error tap to retry" on ipad 4. Tried holding home button and off together and delete and download agin both didn't work

    Oh phooey. I had the same problem, so I decided to delete and reinstall. Only to discover that Google's YouTube app no longer supports anything below iOS 6. This is a problem since I'm running an original iPad.
    Yes, I realize that my version of iOS still has the old YouTube app. But it's not the same. For one thing there are a lot of ad-supported videos that will only play in the new app.

  • 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.

    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:

  • 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.

  • "download error. tap to retry" message

  • I purchased tv shows from iTunes and keep getting a download error tap to retry.

    I purchased tv shows from iTunes and keep getting a download error tap to retry.  Why don't the shows download?  What can I do?

    Hello there Julfos,
    I recommend this part of the article named iTunes: How to resume interrupted iTunes Store downloads found here http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1725.
    If you cannot complete the download on your device, you can finish the download in iTunes on your computer and then sync it to your device. For instructions, see the following articles:
    iTunes Store: Where can I download and sync my purchases?
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
    Additional Information
    If your purchase does not resume downloading after following the steps in this article, you can also try the following steps to troubleshoot the download issue.
    Restart your computer or device.
    Check for updates for your Mac or PC and install any software updates. Also, check for and install updates for any security software you may have (anti-virus, anti-malware, firewall, and so on).
    If using Wi-Fi for Internet access, try using a different Wi-Fi network when downloading. If you are connecting to a home network, try restarting your Wi-Fi router. Also, check for and install any firmware updates for your Wi-Fi router. (Refer the manufacturer's website for your router to get information on updating its firmware).
    If that does not resolve the issue then I recommend quitting all the apps running with this article, and trying again.
    iOS: Force an app to close
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
    Perhaps even forgetting your home network and rejoining it.
    Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and locate the Wi-Fi network to which you are connected. Then tap > and Forget this Network. Try to connect to your desired Wi-Fi network again.
    Or resetting your network settings.
    Reset network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
    Note: This will reset all network settings including: previously connected Wi-Fi networks and passwords, recently used Bluetooth accessories, VPN and APN settings.

  • Iphone 4s and Ipod touch - Download error, tap to retry.  Why is this happening?

    Hi
    I have a problem when I am trying to download music onto my iphone 4S.  It sometimes says download error, tap to retry.  Sometimes when i try later in the day it works. My friend also has the same problem with her ipod touch, but hers wont download at all.  Both are up to date with software etc.  Can anyone help?
    Thanks

  • IPhone 3GS - download error tap to retry

    I know it's been asked before but I haven't found an answer that works yet.
    I have an iPhone 3GS running IOS 6.1.3 connected to my iTunes account with a valid an active iTunes Match subscription.  This has been working perfectly until the last couple of days.
    Now when I try to download a song it tells me download error, tap to retry.  This happens on every song I try to download, whether a purchased one or from my match account.
    I also have an iPad 4 running IOS 7.0.4 and this can download songs fine connected to the same WiFi network so it obviously isn't a problem with my network or with my account.
    Has something changed recently making the iPhone 3GS incompatible with iTunes? 
    I have hard reset the phone to see if this made a difference but nothing has changed.  The song and playlist details download fine from match but the track itself doesn't.
    Any help would be appreciated

    Is this on Wi-Fi or Cellular data?
    What happens when you switch from one to the other?
    Has the device been restarted?
    What about Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings?

  • HT201272 download error, tap to retry

    i just bought an iPad at the apple store in Bergamo and started to download 4 movies i purchased previously through itunes while i was in the store. they kindly offered to give me some assistance in setting it up before i left the store and i stayed to get a few quick apps and download some movies.
    when i saw how long it would take to download the movies, i paused all and left the store. now i am in Greece at a home with a wifi connection. since i arrived, i have been able to download a movie purchased previously on itunes, but the other 4 movies keep getting stuck and won't resume downloading. it just says "download error, tap to retry".
    i want to delete the attempts and start over, since i know it can work here, but i don't see that option. it just offers "done" or "retry".
    also, the setup assistant failed to appear in itunes when i connected my ipad to my macbook pro for the first time. i was thinking to import the 4 movies i want over the connecting USB cable, but that doesn't seem to be working properly either.
    many thanks for any help.

    Since you've changed countries in the middle of this, things could get a little messy.
