Error when downloading purchased music - help? :S

Hi there!
I've purchased music (read: I've been charged), but am having issues downloading it from the store into iTunes (on my computer)
The error reads: There was a problem downloading (x song). Then below in lighter type - "The file seems to be corrupted. To redownload the file, choose "Check for Purchases" from the Store Menu."
The kicker is - when I follow the instructions in the error, I get the same error...
Has anyone come across this and does anyone know how to fix it???
TIA.

when i download a song i get error 9006 nothing helps ive done everything just like u whatever i do it still says error

  • Disc Error when downloading purchased music videos

    Hi there,
    I'm using the latest iTunes and have purchased 3 music videos. When I try to download them, I gett an error saying:
    "There was an error download your purchased music. The disc could not be read from or written to"
    Strange thing is, the disc is fine (an external Maxtor network drive), I can download normal music files (I've done this successfully since getting this message) so I'm stumped.
    I've sent a mail to iTunes support, but I thought I'd see if anyone else has had this problem and can recommend a fix.
    Cheers,
    Pete

    Hello Peter,
    Check out the suggestions in this Apple Support article below:
    "Disk could not be read from or written to"
    Also, if your videos were only partially downloaded and you'd like to retrieve them, then you can go to "Advanced> check for purchases..." in iTunes, and see if that works.
    I hope this helps!

    I can dowload and play the 30 sec sample clips so I know the network connections are OK. When I purchase the music I get the download error message. This is very frustrating!

    I tunes will try for a long periodof time to dowload the songs and it will sometimes give an error message about not being able to connect to the music store. the problem is that it just won't download these songs and I don't know how to fix it. I have uninstalled Itunes and reinstalled it and it is still giving me errors. PLEASE HELP.
    Thanks in advance for any help.

  • Error when playing purchased music

    Hi,
    When I try to play music purchased from the iTunes Music store, I get an error. I'm first asked to login to my Apple account, which I do without problem, but I then get a -50 error and the music doesn't play.
    The same music plays fine on another computer. I have less than 5 computers activated to play.
    What should I do? The computer where I get the error is a first-generation black MacBook and it has all the latest software versions (including OS X 10.4.10 and iTunes 7.3).
    Regards,

  • "Cannot open" error when downloaded *purchased* movie from icloud?

    This had happened multiple times and I cannot believe it hasn't been fixed when I see issues with rentals from years ago!  I fully downloaded a movie I purchased a year ago to my iPhone. It successfully downloaded, processed, etc. Shows the dot next to it as fully unwatched. Plenty of room on phone. Have watched movie on our Apple TV - no problem.
    WHen I go to watch, annoying "cannot open" message. :-(
    Do they seriously expect me to ONLY download movies to a computer with a hardwire connection and transfer them? I can't travel with an iMac desktop, obviously! What's the point of icloud then?!!!!! It's ridiculous!
    ANY tricks to get this movie to play? Anyone have any luck in this situation? 
    Thanks.

    Hi kfrau13,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If you were not able to view the rented movie, you may want to report the issue with your purchase:

  • Help, i get the 'error downloading purchased music.' what do i do?

    i can download music and podcast fine but when i try to purchase a tv show i get the error message "there was an error downloading purchased music. the disk could not be read from or written to" i went to the purchases command in the advanced menu several times with no luck. i have purchased three seperate shows and get the same message. i'm tired of wasting money and would like some help.
    thanks

    Hmm... I've never seen a issue exactly like this before personally, but usually you get the "Disk Locked" error when installing iTUnes or adding anything, songs or videos to iTunes folder. go here and follow the instructions http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302398
    You may have to uninstall/reinstall iTunes AND quicktime if this does not work. Uninstlling iTunes DOES NOT delete any music, playlist, ratings ect ect

  • Error (-50) When Trying To Download Purchased Music

    Hello -
    I recently upgraded to iTunes 7.0.1. Since then, I cannot download purchased music. I get the following error message:
    There was a problem downloading X (name of song). An unknown eror occurred (-50).
    I have never had problems downloading purhcased music before. Is there a known bug/issue with 7.0.1?
    Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

    I am having the SAME PROBLEM and it's driving me NUTS! I couldn't find an answer here so I emailed iTunes support. Here is what they said:
    The error you describe may be caused by the presence of web
    acceleration or firewall software. While the iTunes Store is unable to provide
    technical support, I can recommend that you either test your connection to
    the iTunes Store without the presence of this software or configure
    your system to allow access to the iTunes Store's address.
    However, I'm not sure that is my problem because my computer is new, (I have a macbook), I haven't downloaded any kind of software other than software updates from apple, I use safari, and my roommate has no problem d-loading onto her computer. Also, the album I purchased comes with an interactive booklet and that downloads without a problem. So, I don't know. I just emailed them again and I'll respond to this thread if I get a solution. Otherwise, please let me know if you figure it out!

  • 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

  • HT201272 I get this message when I try to download purchased music, never seen it before, never had a problem before. you do not have enough access privelages for this operation

    I get this message when I try to download purchased music, never seen it before, never had a problem before.
    "you do not have enough access privelages for this operation"
    This computer is authorized, auoto download is enabled and I can download on my ipad without a problem.
    Any ideas what might be going on?

    Hi jimbowby,
    If you are getting this error message just when attempting to download previously purchased music (new purchases work fine), and it's only occuring on the computer (redownloads on the iPad work fine), it may be a permissions issue. It may be worth taking a look at the Resolution section of the following article, which covers other issues that can throw that same error message: Trouble adding music to iTunes library or importing audio CD Hope that helps.

  • Error messages everytime itunes tries to download purchased music

    We got a new computer recently, and on our old computer I believe we had itunes 5, and we had a 30 gb 5th gen that we downloaded purchased music onto. we can only get dial up connection where we live, and we never had an issue downloading, it just took awhile.
    Now that we have our new computer, we also added an 80gb to the newer itunes (7?) we put on the new computer. I have purchased 3 songs, and everytime i try to download them, it says the network connection has timed out, or to check the network connection, etc. Not even a snippet of the song gets downloaded. It pretty much immediately goes to the error message.
    Is itunes 7 set up to only be used with a broadband connection to download? Our internet connection is never the issue. Its pretty irritating to have songs ive purchased and not be able to put them on our ipods.
    Any help would be appreciated, as im not too computer literate, and i cant figure this out.

    When I purchase music through iTunes from my MacBook Pro, my iPhone 4 iTunes app cannot detect those purchase to allow them to download to my phone. If I open up the iTunes app and select "purchased > music > not on this iphone" it tells me "All of your available music has been downloaded to this device." However, my purchases are not yet downloaded to the iphone and not available to download. If I go to "purchased > music > all > recent purchases" it will show me the purchases that were most recent the last time I synced my phone, but not the purchases since then.
    Any thoughts on how I can remedy this and make all of my purchased music available on my phone without requiring syncing?

    So I have been searching the iStore for Airplay and I find lots of information about what it is, but nothing about how much it costs, how/where to buy it, etc.?
    Fortunately, AirPlay does not cost anything as it is a streaming protocol used by Apple. Currently, the AirPort Express and Apple TV are AirPlay-ready. A number of other companies, like JBL, iHome, Denon and Klipsch are also rumored to be working on AirPlay versions of their products.
    Your other option would be to get an AirPort Express and connect it to your Onkyo analog or optical digital audio input and stream from iTunes that way. I currently do this with my 10+ year old Harmon Kardon HT receiver.

  • Error when downloading Pixar Video

    I purchased a Pixar Video (Geri's Game) and have been unable to download it. I get this error message "There was an error downloading your purchased music. The Disk could not be read from or written to." I have been sent through the wringer with ITunes support for 6 days. They won't refund me and they have not been able to fix the problem. I can still download music from the store with no problem. The video is still sitting in my download queue and every time I launch ITunes it sends me out to the store to download purchased music and then errors out with the same message. I have 200GB space on the drive where the music is stored and I have opened up the permissions on the ITunes folder to everyone full control. Help.

    hiya!
    are you getting that during the download from the itunes Music Store?
    if so, first see:
