Downloading songs from itunes store on a Windows Vista PC

Hello All I have a problem. I bought a new laptop about 3-4 weeks ago. It has Vista installed on it. I didnt have any problem installing or using itunes. My problem is i cant download songs that i have bought from the itunes store. I keep getting a "network Connection Timed Out" Error. I have a good internet connection and everything is good. I have installed the newest version of the itunes software and i still get the same error. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!
Thanks

Whenever I try to download songs from iTunes store I get an error message

I just got my Ipod and when I tried to download songs from the iTunes store I just got an error message, but it took my money. A sample message read,
"There was a problem downloading 'I Walk the Line/ With His Hot and Blue Guitar/ Johnny Cash"
The file seems to be corrupted. To redownload file, choose "Check for Purchases" from the Store menu.
I tried the "Check for Purchases" several times, but I just got the same message. I then went to the Downloads menu/page where another message was displayed under Status,
zero KB of 2.6 MB - stopped (err = -100008)
Please help me. I don't want to have wasted my money for nothing.

Hi ...
Might be a Wi-Fi issue...
Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
Now restart the iPad.
Restart your device: Hold the power button until "slide to power off" appears. Slide to power off. After it is off, press the power button to turn it back on.

Suddenly can't download songs from iTunes store

I'm on a Mac OS X 10.4.11, using iTunes 9.2.1 (4) and Safari 4.1.3. This worked fine back in June, the last time I downloaded anything! Now I am again trying to purchase from iTunes store, and repeatedly getting the message, 'Session timed out. Try again.' Any ideas to resolve this? Thanks!

Hi Curt,
Well, to solve this problem you only need to connect your iPod to the computer. I'm not sure why this happened, but if your iPod have access to your iTunes Store account, then it will automatically update your missing info.
You just need to authorize your computer and connect your iPod.
So you have two options:
Do it when you arrive home, connecting it to your home computer;
or
Fist authorize your work computer, the connect your iPod. If you want, you can deauthorize this computer after finishing the process.
Unfortunately there's nothing you can do directly on your iPod Touch
Hope this helps!

I only have 16bit windows vista on my laptop. Can I use my iPad to download songs from iTunes Store and sync to my new iPod Nano?

I have a 16bit vista laptop which is unreliable and I do not wish to use it to transfer songs to my new iPod Nano. Can I sync downloads from my Apple iPad instead?

You need to contact Apple to get the questions reset. Click here, phone them, and ask for the Account Security team, or fill out and submit this form.
Whichever method you use, you probably won't get a response until the 26th. If you absolutely must make a purchase before then, create a new Apple ID; you won't be able to transfer previous purchases or iTunes Store credit to it.

Can't download songs from iTunes store

When I try to purchase and download a song, I get a message that says "Item not available. Make sure your computer's date is set correctly and that it accepts cookies from the iTunes Music Store." My computer meets these criteria. Any ideas? I just upgraded to iTunes version 11.1.3.

Can't download songs from iTunes Store - Changed/Invalid Email??

This is probably a really stupid question, but I'll ask anyway. On my iPod Touch, running the latest firmware, I tried to download a song off the iTunes Store. It prompts me for my password and the account name it has listed is correct. However, I receive the following error:
Your email address has changed or is invalid. Go to the iTunes Store on your computer and update your Account info.
I'm at work now, so needless to say I don't have access to my home computer. I'm not sure why I'd be receiving this message as my iTunes account information hasn't changed in years and all my purchased music plays just fine on my Touch.
My email is a Yahoo account, however, I have my Mail client on the Touch set up to retrieve my DotMac account only. Is that perhaps an issue here? I wouldn't think so since I thought the Touch got the iTunes account info from syncing with iTunes on the host computer.
Is there any configuration that can be changed on the Touch to rectify this?
Thanks!

Can't open purchased songs from itunes store

I downloaded songs from itunes store a while back. My laptop crashed and now i have a small ASUS eee pc with a 4gb hard drive. I have windows XP SP1 and cannot upgrade to SP2 (not enough room on my HD). i had to get an older version of itunes that's compatible with SP1. I can see the songs that I purchased but when I click on them it asks for password to authorize, then i enter it and then it says 'this computer is already authorized.' So now, what do I do? Help!!! I want the songs I bought!

Was your backup copy stolen as well?
If so, you can try e-mailing itunes support to see if they will make an exception, although they are under no obligation to do so.

What exactly happens when you try to sync?
Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
If so have you done anything like update iTunes on the computer since it last successfully synced?
Do the songs play in iTunes?
Are any fo the unsyning songs DRM protected?
What is the detail format of the non-syncing songs?
Does any media now sync to the iPod?
Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?

OK thanks I will try that. I just don't understand why I still can't download new videos as I've deleted the software I installed and I've changed my camera settings back to what they were before when I could download into iPhoto. I perhaps should have mentioned it's iPhoto '08 version 7.1.5. Is there any way of putting iPhoto back as the "default download and view" programme?
It could be as simple as longer (larger) videos - iPhoto does not always handle larger video files well
Is there any way of putting iPhoto back as the "default download and view" programme?
iPhoto is not a download and view program - it is a photo management database program that imports photos - Image Capture is a download program - Preview is a view program
The default program to download your photos is set in the preference panel of either iPhoto or image capture

Hello
In itunes...preferences you can change the setting to import songs instead of mp4 to mp3. Afer changing this setting, right click to the songs and than you are able to convert to mp3. ths's it

Downloading one song from itunes store to ipod

I downloaded one song from itunes store yesterday. I accomplished it accidentally. Does anyone know how to easily download one song directly to ipod.

Thanks for your response. I downloaded a "free" tv show from itunes and it definitely does NOT work on my ipod. Tried it out on two different computers. Also tried another purchased tv show from itunes I had bought. Says it's wrong format. Just tried streamclip software and the m4v is not even a compatible file for the software. Help!
All video content purchased through the iTunes Store
is compatible with the iPod. I would suspect that
it is your video podcasts that are a problem. They
probably need to be converted to an iPod compatible
format before they can be transferred to the iPod.
I would try using software such as MPEG Streamclip to
convert your incompatible video files.

Two weeks ago Purchasing 60 songs from iTune store.So Two of them play only half of song and then jumping to another songs.What is could be?Looks like is not been downloaded full.Can i get this two songs to play correct?Many thanks Aleksejs!!!

If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the dodgy tracks and try redownloading fresh copies. For instructions, see the following document:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.

Is it possible to download songs from itunes directly on to usb as mp3

Is it possible to download songs from itunes direct to usb as mp3

If you are referring to the iTunes Store, then no, because all songs they sell are in AAC format. You can buy MP3s from other online stores, such as Amazon MP3.
