Error message downloading music from itunes store to ipad.

I have a new ipad mini and whenever I try to download any music from the itunes store, I get a message saying '(song title) could not be donwloaded at this time'. I have synced the ipad with itunes and the music has downloaded there, I just can't get it onto the ipad. I also have an iphone and have never had any problems downloading music onto there. Any suggestions?

I can no longer download music from itunes store. It happened when I was trying to download songs dragged into a playlist. I tried to download more than one at a time. It stopped. Now I cant download at all. Even rebooted my machine.

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

Okay, you are using Windows 7. What version of iTunes do you have. Please don't tell me the most current one, go into Help then About iTunes and read what it says.

In iTunes go to general preferences and check the boxes for those you wish to see in the library.

I just downloaded music from Itunes Store but all of the music did not completely download.

You could try emailing iTunes support, giving them your order number, etc. or you could just take the hit and pay the 99p. I know what I would do.

HT1689 how do i sync downloaded music from itunes to my ipad? It will only sync purchased music.

You must "Add" the tracks to your library. Select Add to Library from iTunes' File menu. Select your downloaded track(s) then click on the Open button in the file dialog. Once added to the library you can select and sync them in the Music configuration tab in the iTunes main window for your device.

I cant download music from itunes store, my geographical location is india

Hi,
I stay in Mumbai, India. I wanted to purchase some music from the itunes store. I selected the "buy now" on the album details page. Then I entered my apple id and password. But then in the drop down list "India" was not mentioned. How should I download music from the itunes store then?

Do you have a valid credit card and address from any of the countries mentioned in the drop down menu? If you do, make an account with that credit card, if you don't, then you can't buy media from iTunes because iTunes currently doesn't have an India store.

I downloaded music from iTunes onto my iPad. I enabled iTunes Match on my PC (where most of my music is stored). When I turned on iTunes Match on iPad it said the iPad music library would be replaced.How do I use iTunes Match without losing iPad music.

I bought music from iTunes and downloaded it to my iPad. I have enabled iTunes Match on my PC (where most of my music is stored). When I turned on iTunes Match on iPad it said "iTunes Match will replace the music library" on my iPad. All of my iPad music is saved on iCloud, and some of my PC music is on iCloud. If I use iTunes Match will the music previously downloaded on my iPad be lost?
Thanks!!

You need to either sync the iPad with iTunes so it will transfer the purchases to the iTunes library or download them from the purchase history. Then let iTM work on the "new" tracks in the library then all the music will be available on the iPad.

When I have downloaded music from ITunes to my IPad then try to play them in music the screen turns black, how do I correct this?

It seems that when I download music from the ITunes app on my IPad and then go to play the songs on the music app the screen goes black. Why and how do I fix the problem?

Try this:
Make Sure iOS is updated to the latest version
Reboot the device by pressing and holding down the home and sleep/wake buttons (power) at the same time until the apple logo appears on the screen, then let go.
If that doesn't work then reset the device by going to settings/general/reset/reset all settings

How to download music from iTunes match to iPad 2

I'm going off the grid (temporarily) and traveling to an area without cell phone or wifi. I would love to listen to music on my 32 gb iPad 2 (IOS 8) on those long nights. My music is loaded on iTunes Match. Can it be downloaded to the iPad so I can listen directly from the device? Even better, can I select the albums I'd like to download without downloading everything? Any tips would be appreciated!

Yes, but you must turn off iTunes Match on your device and sync the music from iTunes on your computer.

How can I download music from itunes store at a higher bit rate than 128k?

I have been able to import music from cd's at bit rates higher than 128kbs by clicking into the preferences item under the "edit" drop down menu. however, I have not been able to locate a similar command for itunes music downloads. is it possible to increase the bitrate of music downloads from itunes faster than 128kbps? if so, how?
gateway Windows XP AMD 64

No, store downloads have always been ONLY 128 kbps. With new deal between EMI & Apple, sometime next month you will be able to download EMI artists only at a higher bitrate without the DRM, for a slightly higher price. For now, though, all downloads are still 128 kbps. Your import settings only affect the CD's you rip your self. Hope this helps.

HT1349 Downloaded music from itunes store to PC. BUT only plays 1 1/2 minutes in length. What happened. THANKS

I bought some itunes music on my ipad. I then went to download the songs previously bought onto my PC, from the itunes store. They all downloaded, BUT each song only plays 1 1/2 minutes in length. What happened. Any help wouldbe appreciated. THANKS

90 seconds is the preview time when you want to sample a song in I tunes. I have no idea why or how it would have downloaded the preview, as opposed to the whole song.
I suggest you delete the songs, then go back to the iTunes store and redownload your music. See what happens then. I am assuming that these songs were bought with the same apple Id.

TS1424 Errors in downloading music from iTunes

Hey, I am having issues while downloading music. Everything downloads, but when I go to play some of the songs it olny plays part of the song. How can I fix this??

Depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then try deleting the incomplete tracks from your iTunes library and redownload it via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes : re-downloading.
If you aren't in a country where you can re-download music or if they re-download in the same state then try the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via Store > View My Account and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find those songs and use the 'Report a Problem' link.

IPOD Nano experiences error when downloading music from iTunes

To make a long story short, my new Nano wouldn't fully download all songs from my iTunes library. I received an error about a missing file. As I followed the Apple suggestions to fix the problem I eventually got to a point where the Nano was frozen and wouldn't respond to anything. I couldn't even reset it. I took the Nano back and exchanged for another. The exact same thing happened again, which leads me to believe it's not the Nano that is the problem. Any help would be appreciated.

By "download" I assume you mean transferring songs from iTunes to iPod correct?
When the songs are transferring, try to pin down if it's any particular file from your library that's causing this. Watch the status window at the top of iTunes.
It may be a corrupt file from your library that's causing this, and if you can pinpoint which one(s), you can delete them from iTunes and try again.

ITunes does not download music from iTunes Store

Hi,
I am using iTunes 7.2. on OS 10.3.9.
I can access iTunes and I can add songs to the shopping cart, but when I try to buy them nothing happens. I log into the iTunes Store, but when it says buying shopping cart, nothing happens.
iTunes Store did work before. Has Apple changes anything, so that the Store does not work with iTunes 7.2. anymore?
A tech rep suggested it might have to do with Safari and that I would need to upgrade to Safari 2.0. But 2.0 only runs on Tiger, which I don't have.
Any suggestions anyone?
Help is very appreciated.
Thanks, Janik

You'll probably need to upgrade to iTunes 7.7, which will still run under 10.3.9:

Hope that works for you.
