Download problems of purchased song

I just bought 29 songs, 2 whole CD's and one single song. all functioned perfect, like to login into iTunes Store and the billing.
But every song promted an error (err= -50) when trying to download it.
I use the latest version of iTunes!
thanks for any hints

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

Hello susanserio
Try Deauthorize your account and then Authorize the account to see if any changes occur. Also there may a resolution in the second article that can be helpful as well.

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.

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.

I downloaded iTunes on my new computer, but when I try to download my already purchased songs a message pops up saying, "Your computer is not authorized." How can I fix this?

Downloading my previously purchased songs & Videos

Hello,
I am trying to download my previously purchased songs and videos from my itunes account onto my ipad2 however i am only able to acess the most recent 250 songs and no videos. I have over 1500 songs that i have purchased through itunes and quite a few videos and TV shows, how can i get these on my ipad.

Open the iTunes Store on your device.
Make sure you are signed in with the same account used for the original purchase.
Tap Purchased from the bottom navigation bar.
On iPad, tap the media button in the upper-left corner.
Tap Music.
Once you've located the music you are looking for, tap the download button.
Note: To download all songs from a purchased album, tap on the Album's toggle button to switch to Album view. 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.

On I-tunes, I am unable to re-download a previously purchased song. There is no Cloud icon... only the word "downloaded" ... help?

I am unable to re-download a previously purchased song on I-tunes. The song was corrupted. There is no "cloud" icon on Itunes... only the word "downloaded".
Help please.

Have you tried signing out of iTunes Store and back in.
If this strange, you should be able to redownload from purchased section in iTunes Store.

I can't seem to stop the process and I am not sure if I am buying these 231 purchased and 130 some downloaded songs?? Please help>

You can only download songs from Apple iTunes Store or sync from computer iTunes music section.

HT203433 download error for purchased songs from itunes how do i fix this

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

HT201272 When I download a previously purchased song to my iMac only half of the song plays

Any idea why only half of every song plays when I download a previously purchased album or song to my iMac?

Does the track play correctly in Quicktime Player? If it does then it is an iTunes issue. If it doesn't then it is possible the file was not completely downloaded, or is corrupt.

After downloading iOS5 cannot purchase songs from iTunes store

After downloading iOS5 I cannot access the iTunes store on my iPhone or iPad but i can on my PC laptop.to purchase songs. Only podcasts are available. Anyone else having this problem?

I believe that you're seeing another symptom of the iTunes store authentication problems reported elsewhere. iTunes, the store, MobileME and others are all rather integrated and a problem in one of those has affected all the rest. For instance, I am able to purchase new content but cannot authenticate the old content. Others are unable to purchase at all.
Be patient. Apple has known about this problem since Aug 4 and I assume they're working on something. It should be days (but not hours) before they resolve it.

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?

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.

How do I download my previously purchased songs (on a different computer) on a PC running XP? I have followed the instructions but none of it allows me to download my songs. I deauthorized all computers and authorized this one only but it didn't help.

I had to change computers and cannot access my old drive. iTunes shows me the list of songs but I cannot get most to play. Instead I get a message saying "cannot locate"
I have tried following the support tutorials but it still does not allow me to download my previous purchases.
I tried de-authorizing all computers and then re-authorizing this on but it still doesn't allow me to access most of my songs.

It sounds like you might have broken links to your content. Either repair these by putting the files you've recovered where iTunes expects to find them or delete the broken entries then go to iTunes Store > Purchased > Music > Not on This Computer, and click the download links.
If you have an Apple device see also Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.
