Downloading from music store problems

so i'm downloading The YEah Yeah yeahs song "Tick" along with a bunch of other songs from the music store...but the server won't respond and complete the download! that being said, i can't download the rest of the music that i paid for! How do i cancel a download?

On a related note - how come there are unavailable songs in the Music Store? I thought CMW gave free access to the entire store for a year?
I can understand how in some cases there's an internal server error (or simply a file missing), as seems to be the case with Infinite Mass' "She's a freak" from the album "The Face" (annoying, but at least something that will be rectified, right? right?). But there's also albums like Heaven & Hell's "The Devil You Know" where when I click the download arrow, all I get is a grey cross - nothing even gets added to the dl queue and no error message. Feels as though the license doesn't cover CMW dl's, only purchases? Or as is the case with The Enemy, where the song Silver Spoon off of their latest album is simply greyed out, and the dl arrow isn't even clickable...
These are just three examples off the top of my head, I've encountered more (not very frequently, but still) - it's particularly annoying when it's just the one song that's not downloadable...

  • After Updating to iTunes 7, cannot download from Music Store

    Since updating to iTunes 7 I have had trouble downloading from the iTunes Store. At first all was well, I went into the store, bought some tracks, started downloading them and then my router died, cut my connection and halted my download. After sorting out the router and re-connecting to the internet iTunes has started reporting that the network has timed out and cannot connect to the music store.
    I can still browse the music store but if I try to log in or download anything I get the error that the network timed out. I have tried multiple things to resolve this including restarting the laptop and router, uninstalling iTunes altogether and reinstalling it, running the Diagnostics in iTunes but to no avail.
    In the diagnostics window the first two tests pass ok but the third test seems to fail when a secure connection needs to be made, which would explain why I can browse the store but not download anything or log in because this would require secure connections.

    Ok all is now well.
    Basically I checked with BT and there were no problems on the network, the problem had to be somewhere between my router and iTunes. Next I checked if I could download anything from another computer using my internet connection and the same thing happened so that isolated the problem to router. I then checked the firmware on the router and this was up to date so I then wondered if there might be some dodgy registers within the router that maybe corrupted so I performed a factory reset of my BT Home Hub, but alas that didnt fix anything (unless your connection is running <200Kb/s then it fixes everything, but thats another story, if in doubt reset it!) Anyway, I was putting all my settings back in and realised the Home Hubs Firewall had been activated and as soon as this was disabled, hey presto! iTunes magic returns!
    I have since realised that the reason the router may have randomly cut out in the first place was to upgrade the firmware of the Home Hub, hence the sudden blockage of iTunes by the reactivated firewall.
    Since correcting this I have had no trouble using iTunes 7, no issues with music or connecting my 4Gb iPod Nano. To all those who are struggling with this I suggest you update your iPods firmware to the latest version to ensure it is compatible with iTunes 7.
    Respond here if anyone else needs help.

  • Downloading from music store

    it wont download,ive got norton and i changed the protection to permit all.. what else do i have to do to get the store to download? is it something with the computer? i cant get it to work... there is no error msg..

    I have the same problem. I have Norton Utilities for Macintosh systems, and I've specified that it allows all downloads. Still, my music store purchases fail to download each time, even when going to Advanced/Download Purchases. I suspect this is a firewall problem, but I don't have the firewall installed for Norton. Therefor it could be a built-in firewall in Apple's OSX. IF ANYONE EITHER KNOWS HOW TO DEFEAT THIS FIREWALL OR KNOWS WHAT ELSE COULD BE WRONG, PLEASE LET US KNOW. Thank you.

  • Are there unplayable mp3/aac?(except those from music store)

    Hi. I've heard ppl complaining about unplayable music files that are downloaded from music store.
    But what about the mp3 you already have on your hard drive, or the aac you rip from your own CD? Anyone ever see unplayable file(s) among them?
    The only reason that is preventing me from buying the Shuffle is the fear that 'some' of my music will just never play for some possible reasons.(as happenned manytimes on my PDA)
    And it's a great pain to check everyfile for their playability when there are 200-300 songs in the device.
    Thank you. and I hope I can join the Shuffle community soon.

    It looks like the problem with unplayable songs from the iTunes Music Store has been fixed in today's iPod updater. At least it fixed the problem on my shuffle.

  • IOS 8.0.2 Problems downloading from Apple Store

    We upgraded IOS 8.0.2 then purchased an iBook.  Downloading is stalled for hours.   Tried an upgrade in the App Store and same problem.  Downloading is stalled.  Is anyone experiencing similar problem with downloads from Apple Store?

    Hi there sheuston,
    You may want to try force closing all open apps and resetting the device as an initial troubleshooting step. Take a look at the articles below for more information.

    thank you...

    Nobody here can fix your problem, we do not work for Apple. And I have no idea what "Chrho" means. Neither does Google.
    So - exactly what happens when you try to download a program? And from where are you trying to download it?

  • Hi. I have a problem with downloading from app store while last three days. An error did mot allow me to that. It's number is 1009.

    I have a problem with downloading from app store while last three days. An error does not allow me to take any app. The error number is 1009.

    Thats the ugliest code I've seen in a while and may be hampering your abilities to debug it. No offense - you have to start somewhere - think of it as somewhat constructive criticism.
    However, I cannot find any place where this is happening. Its happening on line 193.
    Also, this only happens when you try to move certain pieces to certain squaresThat might be a clue. Try printing out the indexes before line 193 and see what happens. Maybe use a debugger to step through your code.

  • How can I download movie trailer from Music Store for iPod?

    Movie trailers are produced to attract audience to see the film, so there shouldn't be any coryright issues. But why is it that I cannot copy and paste or download movie trailers from Music Store onto my iTunes and iPod? If Apple puts it on the Music Store, it expects people want to transfer it to their iPod. Sometimes just could not understand what these people think!

    Thanks ALpinaoman, I am afraid things (and life in the world of Apple) are not as simple as you described it. First of all, some movie trailers - when they are played - do not have a little drop down menu arrow to the far right. Secondly, after transferring (i.e. saving) the movie trailer onto the iTunes on my iMac, only a few can be updated onto the iPod, most can't. The error message on the iMac is: "Some of the videos in you iTunes library, including the video "breakfastonpluto.ref" were not copied to the iPod because they cannot be played on this iPod. Click More Info to visit www.info.apple.com/kbnum/n301461 for more information on creating videos compatible with your iPod." What the xxxx is this ".ref" format? Why can't these stupid IT people sit down and agree on ONE format instead of MP4, MOV, AVi, WMV, asx etc etc etc.
    I have used the video iPod for a month now and have all kinds of hurdles transferring video to the unit (easier for DVD, very difficult for VCD, got visual but no sound, etc etc). I have no idea how technically complex the whole thing was when I bought the iPod. I thought it was like recording your TV show on VCR which was low tech (well tech has advanced quite a bit since VCR was invented and tech was supposed to make life easier not more complicated). I guess I need to attend a one year training on computer engineering before I know how to use "user friendly" Apple products.

  • HT1349 I have suddenly lost the whole of my iTunes library, with the exception of music that I have bought and downloaded from iTunes Store.  It was all there yesterday and I haven't altered anything, as far as I know!

    I have suddenly lost the whole of my iTunes library, with the exception of music that I have bought and downloaded from iTunes Store.  It was all there yesterday and I haven't altered anything, as far as I know!  I hope it's something quite simple?
    Apologies, but none of the communities listed seems to fit this question - so I'm taking pot luck!

    For music that you've purchased from Apple that are on your iPhone you should be able to copy to your computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases. Also if you are in the US then you should be able to re-download past music purchases for free : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
    For your own music that you've copied, then if you haven't got a backup on, for example, external drives or CDs/DVDs then you could see if any of the utilities mentioned in this old post still exist and work

  • How do i move music from iphone to pc - not all downloaded from itunes store?

    how do i move music from iphone to pc - not all downloaded from itunes store?

    iTunes includes an option to transfer content that was purchased from the iTunes Store from an iPod or iPhone, but this is for content that was purchased from the iTunes Store only.
    With your iPhone connected and without syncing, at the iTunes menu bar go to File and select Transfer Purchases From - the name of your iPhone.
    This is one of the reasons why maintaining a backup of all your important data (including your iTunes library) stored on an external drive used for backup purposes only, or on other media such as CD or DVD is so important.

  • I updated my iPhone to iOS 7.0.5 and I lost my messages and camera app and other apps i downloaded from app store. I was having the problem of losing apps since before I updated to the latest IOS. What should i do?

    I updated my iPhone to iOS 7.0.5 and I lost my messages and camera app and other apps i downloaded from app store. I was having the problem of losing apps since before I updated to the latest IOS. I have tried enable and disable restriction, connecting my phone to my laptop and sync from my computer and none of them is working. What should i do?

    Often when this type of thing occurs with missing default apps it is due to a situation where you are unable to 'see' the apps. If you will go to your front display of your device go to settings>General>Reset>Reset Home Screen layout.
    This reset allows for your apps that have for whatever reason been hidden in such an area as you arn't able to find them now to be returned to the area as which they were when you first had the device.
    As far as the missing Apps that were purchased through the Apps Store if you will go to settings>itunes and Apps store and click where it reads about automatcally downloading apps clicking on the toggle switch AND clicking on the toggle switch which allows for cellular data to be enabled this then will effectively automatically download all apps to your device that was purchased from the App Store.
    Good luck friend.

  • Want to download tunes from Music Store without upgrading to iTunes 7

    I'd like to continue purchasing music from Music Store WITHOUT upgrading to iTunes 7, which my current version of iTunes instructs me to do before I can continue purchasing music.
    Is there a way around this? In my view, if I want to purchase music from Music Store, I should be able to do so regardless of my current version of iTunes.

    no one you will not get a reply and if you do you will just be told to upgrade to the latest version
    you may use the feedback forms on the support page
    you HAVE to update because the itunes music store is no longer compatible with old versions they are now obsolite
    either upgrade to 6.05 using the link i posted above or upgrade to version 7 from the itunes download page
    either that or stop using itunes to buy music
