Error -42018 Cannot Download Purchased Music from iTunes Store

I cannot download music, it says unknown error -42018 check network connection and try again. I can download videos just fine, but music. This has never done this before. I downloaded music before just fine. I turned off my firewall but no luck. Please help resolve!!!

Hey everybody,
I also was experiencing the unknown error -42018 when attempting to download purchased music. Additionally, I was stuck in an endless authorization loop when attempting to play previously purchaed music. All this started when I installed the latest iTunes software 7.0.2.
I run windows XP Pro, and unlike the majority of users I actually set it up correctly with a dedicated administrator account, and regular user accounts instead of just running as admin all the time. For me, that was the cause of the problem.
The new version of iTunes software required FULL CONTROL privilages on the iTunes and iPod install directories for all user accounts that were using the program. (Previous versions worked fine, so this is a new thing.) Once I provided those permissions, iTunes worked correctly. Follow this link: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/304040 for information on how to provide FULL CONTROL to every user account.
I hope you all find this helpful in solving your problem.
Good Luck,
Bill

Cannot download purchased music from itune onto my ipod

I Downloaded music from my ipod touch 5th gen itunes app and some of the songs i bought could not download. A message appears saying "unable to download song could not be downloaded at this time" i can select either done or retry. I have signed out of iTunes and signed back in
I have turned off my iPod and urned it back on and still nothing
I have tried clearing space on my iPod even though I have 40 Gb still available
iTunes on my computer have all the songs I have recently purchased and when I try to sync them to my iPod still nothing, im not sure what to do now ?

You said:
"when I try to sync them to my iPod still nothing"
What exactly happens when you try to sync?
Does iTunes see the iPod?
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?
Does any media now sync to the iPod?
Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?
iTunes: Syncing media content to iOS devices and iPod
Try syncing using the manual method
Managing content manually on iPhone, iPad, and iPod
For first problem try powering off and then back on your router.
Next try when connected to another network.

Problems Downloading Purchased Music From iTunes Store

I recently purchased an album from the iTunes store and received a notice saying one song couldn't be downloaded. This song originally showed up in gray and couldn't be clicked on, played, etc and did not show any way to properly download it without purchasing the song again. Based on my calculations, I was still charged the full amount of the album despite not being able to download one of the songs. How do I go about downloading this song without paying the $1.29 again? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

in the itunes store click on Purchased under the Quick Links section
Navigate to the music you want to re download and click on the Cloud icon to the right of it.
It will download a fresh copy at no extra cost

Since downloading iOS 7, I have been having trouble purchasing music from iTunes Store. When ever I try to make a purchase I always get the message "Your account is not valid in the US store"

Since downloading iOS 7, I have been having trouble purchasing music from iTunes Store. When ever I try to make a purchase I always get the message "Your account is not valid in the US store" As I am new at this I don't know what I can do to remove this problem.

What country are you in ? If you aren't in the US and the address on your account isn't in the US then try going to the bottom of the Featured tab in the App Store app on your iPad and tap on your account id, tap on 'View Apple ID' on the popup and log into your account, and then select the Country/Region section and select your country.

How can i designate the location of the purchased music from itune store?, how can i designate the location of the purchased music from itune store?

how can i designate the location of the purchased music from itune store?, how can i designate the location of the purchased music from itune store?

Hi,
Thanks. I know how to do that, however, I thought it only works with the imported content not the purchased ones. The reason for wanting this was that I keep all my music in NAS drive for SONOS (the wireless music system) will need the music to be in NAS so that it can play music while the mac is on sleep mode.
Anyhow, I will try again and let you know if it does work.
Thanks again.

HT1848 I had my Iphone in sync with iTunes in my desktop PC. I had purchased musics from iTunes Store and musics I did transfer from original CDs (legacy ones). How can I recover my whole music assests on Iphone to my iTunes in my notebook PC ?

I had my Iphone in sync with iTunes in my desktop PC. I had purchased musics from iTunes Store and musics I did transfer from original CDs (legacy ones). I no longer have my CDs once I did donate it to a public library. How can I recover my whole music assests on Iphone to my iTunes in my notebook PC ? At this time I only know how to transfer Apple Store purchased items.

iTunes will only import music purchased from the iTunes store. If you need to import music to iTunes from your phone that wasn't purchased from iTunes you will need to use 3rd party software to do so, such as Touch Copy.

I'm having difficulty importing purchased music from iTunes store to my new MacBook Air

I am having difficulty importing purchased music from iTunes to my new MacBook Air

What problem are you having ?
You should be able to copy your library from your old computer : How to move your iTunes library to a new computer. Or if both computers are connected to the same wifi network then you could use home sharing to copy it over. Or copy it from your backup of your downloads/library and add it via File > Add To Library.
You might also be able to redownload some/all of your past purchases via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage,or by going into iTunes > Preferences (command-comma) and ticking the 'show iTunes in the Cloud purchases' tickbox - it might then show in the Music part of your library with a cloud icon against it for redownloading.

When can we able to purchase music from iTunes Store?

Hello;
I would like to purchase songs from itunes store for my iphone but I can't. Because itunes turkey store that isn't an option and itunes US store doesn't authorize my credit card to make any purchases either. As far as I know some licensing issues need to be resolved in Turkey. So, Is Apple making any plan to resolve those licensing issues in Turkey? Thank you.

For music, you do not need the iTunes Store. You can purchase MP3s from any online source that is available where you live, and add the MP3s to your iTunes library.

ITunes 7 (error -50) Cannot Download Purchased Music...

Greetings!
I have recently upgraded to iTunes 7 and tried to purchase an album today and recieved error -50 "There was a problem downloading "X", Try again. Please Check Your connection."
I have also purchased music a few days ago with version 7 and had no problems. I do have a "good" connection established, so why can I not download? I tried turning Norton Off, but no difference.
My wife was using iTunes earlier and noticed a pop-up from norton, but did not read it and just clicked allow...so do you think that this might have something to do with this problem? Other than this problem, iTunes 7 works okay, connection to the iTunes Music Store is not an issue.
Please Help!
Thanks,
Jared

Hello all,
I restarted the computer and all is well. I'm not sure what the problem was...maybe a bug in version 7? After the restart I just went to STORE->CHECK FOR PURCHASES and the new music was downloaded successfully.

Cannot download purchased movie from Itunes

Rented a movie and it shows up in purchases. I cannot download it. I get the same error message non-stop, tap to retry - to no avail. Please help!

Purchasing more storage in iCloud was not necessary. You may need more space locally - on the iPad itself - not in the cloud. But did you receive a message saying that you needed space to download the movie? If you did, then you need to delete content on the iPad to free up space.
Settings>General>Usage>Storage. You can see which apps are taking up the most space and you can see videos and TV shows that are on the iPad. You can delete content in there via the Edit button and download it again later a desired. Most purchased content can be downloaded again for free but there are some limitations and exclusions.
