Download stuck on "processing file" then when iTunes restarted, no record

I have a couple albums downloading in my iTunes. A song will download fine but will get stuck on "processing file"
Ex. 6.1MB of 6.1MB - processing file
No other songs can start downloading. Thought it was iTunes freezing so I shut it down and restarted it. Now there is no history at all of purchasing the song or downloading it in any of the iTunes tabs.
Thank you for ANY help anyone might have!!! - Meg

the same thing happens to me, only after about 10 minutes my computer restarts. i just recently purchased an iPod nano and this is making me want to go back to my zune which I dont like half as much

My iPhone with iTunes match is extremely slow downloading songs, stuck on processing file

I have a 64GB iPhone 5, with iTunes Match enabled. Whenever I try to download songs to the phone, the songs will download very quickly, usually with 15 seconds, but then it will be stuck on Processing File for 15-20 minutes. This makes it very difficult to download large numbers of songs. I have been trying to download ~3000 songs since Friday and there are still 492 left after 4 days. Any ideas why the processing file action takes so long?
Internet speed: 15ms ping, 35mbps download, 11mbps upload
iOS version: 7.1.2
Capacity: 57.1GB
Available: 30.7GB
Thanks,

I'm trying to load ~20k songs onto my new iPhone 6 via iTunes Match, and I'm only about 1/20 along after two days
I can't even track the progress using the iTunes Store app since the app either crashes immediately upon launch or doesn't show the "Downloads" tab (if I reboot the phone, I'll see the "Downloads" tab once with a badge indicating the number of songs remaining, but after locking up the app for a few minutes, the "Downloads" tab disappears until I reboot again).
Instead, I get alerts every so often reporting "Unable to Purchase" as sync downloads occasionally fail. The only way I'm able to see that anything is still progressing at all is by going to Settings -> General -> About and observing the "Songs" number very slowly incrementing.
Meanwhile, I cannot update any apps since app update downloads appear to queue up behind iTunes Match syncs instead of being entirely independent.
I have been terribly disappointed with Apple's handling of iTunes Match.

I am trying to download a variety of files and when it is finished, the Mac freezes up and the task bar continues to blink on and off. I have to go into Firefox and actually quit the application to continue. Any help is very much appreciated

are you backing up files, or doing a Time machine backup, either way, the Time machine will STOP when finished and show "last backup at XXXXXX" meaning its done...... OR if when transferring files, it will show a progress bar on your desktop and vanish when files are copied.
Open up the Hitachi drive (your G drive is made by Hitachi, and the best made by the way).....and see if the files are there.
a MORE VISUAL way is to open the hard drive file, and drag and drop files INTO the Gdrive and you can see them visually be copied there as you do it.
To see your HD on your desktop GOTO FINDER......PREFERENCES....then GENERAL TAB.........check the box marked HARD DRIVES.........then your Gdrive will appear on your desktop........open it from there, and DRAG and drop files from anywhere INTO the Gdrive....... easy visual way to see the files being copied into the Gdrive.

HT4061 I need help, I pluged my iphone and itunes said there was an update to download and update, I did but when itunes was rebooting and updating I got an error message. and now the phone is telling me that it cant be activated.

I need help, I pluged my iphone to itunes and got a message that said there was an update to download and update, I did but when itunes was rebooting and updating I got an error message. and now the phone is telling me that it cant be activated, to plug it in to itunes or to contact support care.

That message usually indicates that your phone was hacked to unlock it from the original phone carrier, then when you updated or restored it locked back to that carrier.

Where are you importing from – a camera or computer? If you are optimizing at import, make sure the background processes are completed. (Command-9)

Sounds like your file really is downloading but you just don't know it. Check your Downloads folder to see if it's there (and give it enough time to complete!). You will get the "thank you for downloading" page even though the file is just beginning to download.
If iTunes still isn't downloading, then clear your browser's cache and and try downloading again.

I'm trying to update my iphone, but when I download the software update and then when it is "complete" a message pops up stating that it has been timed-outed and to try again later. This is the 5th time i've tried. And i am getting very annoyed.

Disable your firewall/security software and try again.

Hey rangermikegsm,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like you’re concerned because you don’t see your rentals in iTunes, but they appear to have downloaded. Take a look at the article below and check the Rentals tab in iTunes on your MacBook.
About renting movies from the iTunes Store - Apple Support
Find movies you rented previously
Find your movie on the device you used to rent it.
On a Mac or PC: Go to the Rentals tab in the Movies section of the iTunes Library.
On an iOS device: Go to the Rental tab of the Videos app.
Using Apple TV (2nd or 3rd generation): Look in the top shelf of the main menu.
Ciao,

I'm stucked on APPLE evolution bar when I restarted my Mac after upgrade to Yosemite. I Can't access on my computer.

I'm stucked on APPLE evolution bar when I restarted my Mac after upgrade to Yosemite. I Can't access on my computer.

Good Question.
I downloaded Yosemite a while ago, but didn¹t install it because it would
knock out several applications such as Solitaire till Dawn But finally
when some apps wouldn¹t work with my current version of Safari I thought I
would upgrade Safari but they wouldn¹t work with the OS I was using so
suddenly I had no Safari and was worse off than before. So I bit the bullet
and upgraded to Yosemite with the earlier version I already had. Not pleased
when iPhoto didn¹t work, and it also coincided with an national email outage
here in Australia by the major carrier so no email either.
Experience has taught me that it gets sorted out in the end but in the
meantime...
And the lesson is [

I loaded actions into my PSE 10, then when I restarted my PC (windows 7) and PSE 10 I got a Runtime Error (Microsoft Visual C Runtime Library)

I loaded actions into my PSE 10, then when I restarted my PC (windows 7) and PSE 10 I got a Runtime Error (Microsoft Visual C Runtime Library)

Are these actions you put into the C:\ProgramData\Adobe\Photoshop Elements\10.0\Photo Creations\photo effects folder?
If so, did you delete both the
ThumbDatabase.db3 in C:\ProgramData\Adobe\Photoshop Elements\10.0
and
MediaDatabase.db3 in C:\ProgramData\Adobe\Photoshop Elements\10.0\Locale\en_us
after installing the actions?
Then let the pse 10 editor run for about 10 to 20 minutes to rebuild the effects database.

Itunes stuck on processing file and won't sync iPhone or iPad when connected.

I updated to Lion last week and ever since I did that I can't download new apps to itunes or sync my iphone or ipad. It freezes everytime. Everything is up to date. I can't download new apps to itunes. I can download to the phone and the ipad but can't even synch those to my phone. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks!

I've been having the same problem.... I forced iTunes to quit when it got hung up on one or two downloads, and then when I relaunched, they were gone from my "Purchased" list. I've tired going back to the iTunes store to re-download the files, but the button says "Purchased" and is grayed out... while the other music files that did download successfully say "Play". I've tried the "Check for Available Downloads" option in iTunes, but it says that all of my purchases have been downloaded.
I have about 10-12 songs that did not process completely, do not show up in my "Purchased" screen, and cannot now be downloaded again. Any ideas about how to fix this? Everything was working fine up until 2 days ago. I've never had a problem like this before. I"m running iTunes 11.1.3 on OS 10.6.8. Thanks.

Apps stuck on "processing file" in 11.1.3.8 for Windows

I don't believe that this was a problem 100% of the time since I downloaded 11.1.3.8 for Windows, but I am noticing that recently, most times the software hangs during the "processing file" portion of updating any app.
If I go into task manager and kill all iTunes processess and restart iTunes I can occasionally get smaller apps to update individually if I run the update process quickly after restarting, but once iTunes has been running for about a minute everything that I attempt to update hangs.
I can update the apps on my iPhone or iPad and sync them to succesfully update the apps on my computer/in iTunes, but downloading them hangs.
I've seen other people complaining about it here so I know it's a legitimate issue, my question is -- can anybody confirm if this is software based in 11.1.3.8 or if this is something on Apple's end where the downloaded software pings their servers for verification during the 'processing file" portion of the update?
Thanks for any info that anybody has!

I have the exact same problem and I am experiencing this since last week. My problem is-
When I try to download/purchase an app using iTunes, it immediately starts downloading. Ideally, download starts and finishes in sometime, depending on the file size. In the last stage of downloading, iTunes tries to process the downloaded file and places it in the '...\Music\AppSync\Mobile Applications' folder in my case. The problem I am facing is that sometimes file never completes downloading and gets stuck. Download reaches 100% then iTunes shows 'processing file' and it gets stuck there and never completes. This means that downloaded ipa file never added to the 'Mobile Applications' folder. Even if I try to delete the download, iTunes does not do anything and then I have to kill the iTunes process manually as it does not even quit by clicking on the cross icon. After killing the iTunes process using task manager in windows, I restart iTunes and go to my purchase history to start downloading that app again. Sometime it succeeds otherwise it gets stuck again and I have to repeat the process of killing iTunes and starting again. But after several attempts, it does get downloaded. Also, note that this does not happen all the time, mostly randomly. If I am trying to download 10 apps for example, it will get stuck in 1 or 2.
This problem comes both updating and downloading new apps. I have not found any solution for this yet. I am following up with iTunes support but all they can think of is to reinstall iTunes.
I have latest version of iTunes and it is running on Windows 8.1. The iTunes account country is USA.

HT1725 Download stuck on 'processing'

I was downloading a movie and for two days it has been stuck on 'processing' and won't let me watch movie or do ANYTHING on iTunes.

This problem was sorted for me recently by Apple tech support. It occurs because you have insufficient space remaining to download the film the processing part requires as much space as the film so in other words if the film uses 3.5 you need to have 7.0 of space before you start. Once the download is completed the final space used will only be 3.5.
To solve the problem make sure all important files are switched on in Settings and save to icloud. Then go to reset to factory settings which will delete them from the ipad. You will then need to retrieve the files from icloud.
My advice would be to phone apple technical support for free and they will do it with you. Good luck.

Music downloads but says processing file

We have down loaded hundreds of songs from i-tunes with no issues on the same PC. For the past 2 months only about 20% of the music will complete the download?? The song downloads just fine but then it stats processing file and it stays there indefinitly??? We get charged for the song but we do not get the song. I have done the report a problem many, many time and all the i-tunes rep e-mail us is we do not give refunds but we will give you a free credit. I have asked them over and over for some help on fixing this issue but I get nothing but a free credit that will not work. I have never asked for a refund all I would like is to be able to download music from i-tunes...Any ideas??

Welcome to AD!
Have you tried temporarily disabling any security software you're running, to see if it still happens?
Also, do you use V CAST from Verizon? It has caused conflicts with itunes processing files.
