Download error. Tap to retry.     Why? I have a wifi and still the same message?

Download error. Tap to retry.... Why? I have a wifi connection and still the same message, and even connected to desktop the same for ipad. Help :-)

I'm getitng the same thing.  I'm beyond sick of this iPad.  It's a third generation Retina Display and it turned into a pile of cat turds after iOS 7.  It got so bad I restored it and used iCloud. It was still god awful.  I restored it and didnt use the iCloud backup and hoped that whatever was wrong would be avoided....nope.  IF I can get a download going it nearly kills my entire iPad.  I will open the cover and wait over 30 seconds just for the screen to light up.  I will hit the home button to close an app and wait nearly a minute in some cases for it to actually close.  Then to top off all the annoyances it just fails and loops over and over. 
I bought Apple products to avoid stuff like this.  Very unhappy.

    Uninstall your existing copy of iTunes. Delete any copies of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) installer files from your downloads areas for your web browsers and download a fresh copy of the iTunes installer from the Apple website:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    (The current build of the 11.1.4.62 installer was changed a few days ago, which fixed the bulk of the reports of MSVCR80.dll/R6034/APSDaemon.exe/Error-7/AMDS-could-not-start trouble ... but the build number on the installer was not changed. So we're trying to make sure you do the reinstall using a "new good" 11.1.4.62 installer instead of an "old bad".)
    Does the install with the new copy of the installer go through properly? If so, does that clear up the error message?
    If you still have the same error messages cropping up, then try the procedures from the following user tip:

  • 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.

  • I have 70% downloaded a movie and now it says download error, tap to retry.  iTunes already billed me and I really want to watch this movie:) Help?

    Anyone have any advice?

    If tap to retry did not work, open up iTunes > click the drop down top right which should be your iTunes account/ email address > account > purchase history > find the purchase > click report a problem > click on the movie you purchased and then file report.

    Hey KarlaOrtega23,
    Thanks for the question. I understand that you are experiencing issues with iTunes on your PC. I also understand that you have already uninstalled iTunes and the problem persists. While you have already attempted these steps, there are some specific details outlined in the following resource that may help to lead to a resolution. For example, make sure that you have uninstalled all components of iTunes in the order listed. Uninstalling the components in a different order, or only uninstalling some of these may have unintended affects:

  • 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.

  • 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?

    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!)

    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:

    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.

    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.

    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.
