Downloaded music wont go to itunes from computer

I get an error that says "attempting to copy to the disk HP-Pavilion failed. the file name was invalid or too long"
What do you do to fix this?

Hi,
Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Can you elaborate a little more? I don't quite understand what you mean and what your problem is.
From what you have written, I think you should shorten the file name.
Hope this helps!

I downloaded music onto my iPhone 4S from from the iTunes Store that I previously purchased, and now I can't delete them from my phone. I tried do remove them from my MAC too, but still can't delete them.

How are you trying to delete the music direct on your iPhone?
You tried to remove the music from iTunes on your Mac how?
Do you have Sync Music selected under the Music tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes on your computer?

How come some previously downloaded tracks wont play in itunes 11.1.3, and there is no option to download again

How come some previously downloaded tracks wont play in itunes 11.1.3 and there is no option to download again?

Hey KMK14,
I understand you are having issues with a few tracks in iTunes. The best troubleshooting step may be to delete the song from your library, and re-download using iTunes in the Cloud (if available in your country).
For more information, see the following:
Songs in iTunes may not play back completely
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4357
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:
1. Delete the purchased song that is exhibiting the problem from your iTunes library.
2. Click on the Purchased link in the iTunes Store to view your previously purchased music.
3. Download your previously purchased song from this list.
Note: iTunes in the Cloud, which allows you to download previously purchased songs from the iTunes Store, is not available in every country. Learn if iTunes in the Cloud is offered in your country.
Thanks,
Matt M.

HT1451 how do I create playlists now of my downloaded music. Used to drag from "recently dowloaded" to playlist. Can't even find the dang songs!!!!!

how do I create playlists now of my downloaded music. Used to drag from "recently dowloaded" to playlist. Can't even find the dang songs!!!!!

However, my troubleshooting issue is that I also want the songs in my concert playlists to go in order of how they were performed at the concerts.
Give them a track number.
Each time I number them within the playlists the song's number also changes within the Library Music list.
And? I'm not seeing the problem.
However, I can not figure out how to make true copy. I've already tried dragging the song to my desktop, then dragging the new copy back into iTunes. I've even tried renaming the duplicate copy and dragging it into iTunes. Why won't my iTunes make an individual duplicate copy of a song?
How do you have iTunes manage your music? If you drag a song to the desktop it may just be moving the file to the desktop.
Command+R to reveal the file in Finder. Command+D to duplicate the file in Finder. Drag the duplicate to iTunes to add the second copy. Not that I totally understand where the issues lie and feel this is likely not the best remedy...

Can I download music to my iPhone directly from my computer- WITHOUT using iCloud?

Does anyone know how to download music from iTunes on your computer onto your phone without using iCloud? It used to be that I would just plug in my phone, hit sync, and all the music I wanted (which I had selected in iTunes on my computer) would be added to my phone's music library. Easy peasy. Now, none of the music actually gets downloaded to the phone- if I'm connected to wi-fi, I can access all those selected songs through the cloud, but if I'm not, then the songs are grayed out in my playlists. Each song has a little cloud icon next to it, and I can download the songs by tapping that… one at a time. I talked to Apple support and they told me to go into the iTunes store app and select "download all," which I did try, but given the quantity of songs I have, and the rate at which things were going, it would have taken forever to get them all downloaded. I have thousands of songs I like to have on my phone, and the point is to be able to listen to them in places without wi-fi (like my car, or on a hike, or an airplane); it is SUPER annoying that I can no longer quickly download all of those songs by simply connecting my phone to my computer. I have searched high and low in these forums and I can't seem to find a solution; I would really appreciate any help anyone can offer.
Some details: I have an iPhone 6, and I use iTunes on my Mac, and all of my software on both is up to date. I do not subscribe to iTunes Match, so turning that off (as has been recommended elsewhere) is not helpful to me.

Thanks, but I should have clarified: I already have USB syncing set up with iTunes on my Mac and have been adding music to my iPhone for years that way; now with the latest IOS, it no longer appears to be working. I follow the exact steps I always have (and which are outlined in the link provided), but no actual music is downloaded to my phone- if I am not connected to a wi-fi network, I cannot listen to my music unless I download it from iCloud. (And downloading it from iCloud is a laborious task because I have many songs.)

TS1420 I updated my ipod to 5.1.1 and now it wont sync downloaded music onto my ipod. All the music I purchased through itunes went on the ipod during backup restore and my downloaded music went into my itunes library but won't sync onto my ipod.

I updated my ipod touch to 5.1.1 and did a system restore. All of my purchased music from itunes went back on along with photos and apps but now it won't let me sync music that I downloaded. All of my music that was imported from cd's synced but not my downloaded music from internet. They went into my itunes library but they are a light gray and have a little sync symbol next to them. I've tried dragging them into different folders but nothing is working. I read that others were having problems with this update but didn't get any answers.

After you have updated your device to version 5.1.1, have you tried resyncing everything from your iTunes yet?
