Getting:  iTunes is unable to purchase downloads error

Have been getting this error for at least the past 12 hours when I try to download. Not a network error. Not an access error. And not a credit card validation error. Anyone else having trouble buying songs?

  • My computer tells me I purchased the Rod Stewart Christmas album, but I did not. How can I get iTunes to cancel this "purchase". Also this thing has just started playing when I turn on my computer, how do I stop it?

    My computer tells me I purchased Rod Stewart's Christmas album. I DID NOT. How do I get iTunes to cancel the purchase. Also, this thing has suddenly started playing when I turn on my computer. How do I make it stop?

    It is probably too late to cancel it, but contact the iTunes store support staff at http://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html and see what they can do for you.

  • ITunes purchases download errors

    I purchased the Lord of the Rings HD bundle last night, and after a few abortive attempts, the movies appear to have downloaded okay, although iTunes seems to think it downloaded the 1st movie twice; there's only the one copy in my library, though...
    On a (possibly) unrelated sidenote, I cannot assign one of my custom audio equalizer presets to the 1st movie; the 2nd and 3rd movies behaved fine, but the 1st refuses to take.
    It's the 'iTunes Extras' that don't want to download, no matter how many times I try them, and no matter how many times I try them after making sure I have the latest version of iTunes (I do), or quitting and restarting iTunes, or restarting the whole computer....
    For the record, iTunes 11.0.1 trying to figure out whether or not I have any files that need downloading causes iTunes to freeze, while it scrunches up it's little head in fierce concentration, freezing the program for several minutes... it then (finally) decides that the last time it tried was not particularly sucessful (ch'uh!!!), it begins the download again, and all becomes right with the world.
    This is not the first time I've had problems with the 'iTunes Extras' portion.
    I will go as far as to say that I have more problems (i.e. failures) than I have successes, at this point.
    For the record, in this instance the error messages I get are the following...
    For the Fellowship and Return of the King extras, I get the error message "- stopped (error = -19)"
    For the Two Towers extras, I get the error message "- stopped (error = -23)"
    The download window states the the full file has downloaded, every time, but fails upon the last step, whatever that step is; i.e. the Fellowship extras file is 1.81GB, which is what downloads, then it faults...
    Anybody got any ideas...?

    On an additional note, the window that pops open to tell me there were 'some problems' with several of the downloads states that I should 'check the network connection and try again...' which is what I've been doing for about 24 hours now...
    Also, an album I bought just an hour or so ago has failed to download one of the tracks, and doesn't recognize that fact when I ask it to check for available downloads... making me wonder just what the **** is going on over in iTunes land...
    Too much holiday cheer...?
    Not enough...?
    Well, it's getting downright frosty over here where I'm sitting...

  • Previously purchased download error on iPad

    So I went kind of crazy downloading previously purchased music in iTunes onto my new iPad 2.  I set over 100 songs to download, then went to watch a streaming movie.  The downloads were slowing down my connection (I have kind of crappy broadband) so I paused them after 20-30 songs had finished.  I forgot about it and came back a couple of days later and tried to resume the downloads one at a time, but I just get a download error that says "[Title of Song] could not be downloaded at this time." No matter how much I "tap to retry" it will not download.  If I try to download other previously purchased songs that I hadn't already set to download, it works fine.  If I look up the songs I'm trying to download in the Purchased section of iTunes, the songs are marked as downloaded.  If I look up the songs in the Music app on my iPad, the songs and albums appear in the list, but there's no album art, and if I try to play them, it just tries to resume the download and we're back to the download error. The songs are definitely not on my iPad.  Any idea what's going on and  how to fix it?  Syncing from my computer is not an option right now, as my iBook is so ancient I can't run a current enough version of iTunes to hook up my iPad - I set it up using my work computer, which does not have my music collection on it and needs to stay that way per company policy.  I'm really hoping there's a cloud-based solution to this weirdness.

    Ah-ha, okay. I figured this out, pretty much by accident.  If this happens to anyone else, here's how to fix it.
    In the iTunes Music app (not the store app, but where you actually play your music once it's downloaded), songs in the queue but not completely downloaded yet will have a button next to it that looks only vaguely like a stop button on a remote - a tiny square within a circle. Hitting that button cancels the download.  Note that there is no way that I saw to do this within the iTunes Store.  Yeesh.  Apple is usually better about usability than that.  But anyway, canceling the download within Music will remove the songs from the queue within iTunes Store and then the little cloud download icon will reappear beside the songs in question.  The songs I have tried so far have all downloaded just fine.

  • HT4098 I have a subscription to The Telegraph which I purchased before changing my email and apple ID.  How can I get iTunes to transfer this purchase and put it under my new apple ID?

    have a subscription to The Telegraph which I purchased before changing my email and apple ID.  How can I get iTunes to change it to current ID

    Did you create a NEW Apple ID or did you change the email address for your OLD Apple ID? This will affect how you update apps in the future.
    Anyway, go to Settings/iTunes&App Stores, log out, then log in with the new ID.

  • I cannot get iTunes 12 (64 bit) to download to my new pc

    I have been trying for a few days to get iTunes 12.01 (64 bit) to download to my new PC.  I have tried in both IE and Chrome  from http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/ and it just takes me to the "Thank You" page without ever starting the download.  No pop ups being blocked or anything like that and I have had no other troubles downloading other programs during this time.

    See the Further Information area of Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates for download advice and direct links if required. Review the rest of the tip if you have problems with the install.

  • Whenever I download a movie from iTunes it always comes up "download error. Tap to retry"

    whenever i download a movie from itunes it will start downloading but will crash featuring the error message "Download error. Tap to retry." how do I fix this?

    I am not sure if your problem has already been solved, but I came across your question because I was having the same problem with music I had bought from itunes on my iphone 4. The message kept appearing for 3 days when I tried to download in 3G. Once I tried it from work where I am hooked up to wifi, both of my pending songs downloaded faster than I could blink. Perhaps you could try it again once you are hooked up to wifi. I am brand new to the whole apple world, but I'd be interested if this is the answer to your issue. Good luck!!

  • HT201272 Music Purchase Download Error

    Hello,
    I purchased and downloaded an mp3 file, and it did not correctly download (I dont know why not) and the last minute of the song is missing. When I log into my itunes account and review purchased inventory, the song is listed as already downloaded. I do not know how to override this setting so that I can "re-download" it. If anyone has any suggestions that would be wonderful. I don't want to purchase it again when I alreayd legally own the file as is.
    Thanks!
    Alexandra

    Depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then try deleting the incomplete track 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 - if you have the incomplete listed in the Music part of your iTunes library (i.e. where you click on it to play it) then iTunes will see that and show it as 'downloaded' on the Purchased link ; deleting it from your library should change it to have a cloud symbol for re-downloading.
    If you aren't in a country where you can re-download music or if it re-downloads 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 the Store > View Account menu option 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 that song and use the 'Report a Problem' link and fill in details about the problem (iTunes support should reply within, I think, about 24 hours).
    If the 'report a problem' link doesn't work (it's been taking some people to this site on a browser instead of showing a form in iTunes) then you can try contacting iTunes support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page.

  • Can't I get my old iTunes that I have purchased downloaded from Apple?  I don't have the old computer anymore.  Also, is there a number to call if I think I have more than one account and would like them to consolidate my accounts?

    I have two problems:
    1.  I no longer have my old computer and want to download the iTunes I have purchased in previous years.  Aren't they all in "the cloud?"
    2.  I think I have more than one account and would like to get them combined.  Is there a good number or email to Apple that I could get that done?
    THanks!

    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer.  Have you failed to do this?
    You can redownload some iTunes purchases in some countries:
    Download past purchases - Apple Support
    As provided, you cannot merge accounts

  • Purchased itunes music and it not download error 34

    purchased music and received error 34.
    do I have to purchase it again?
    how can I redownload it without having it to repay?

    I've had this same error and tried the "fix" suggestion from Ravencroaker 3 times, and the same error appears along with the message, "you've already purchased this song". Also, the error message says iTunes cannot find the server. Yet, I am DL other song files no problem.
    This has only happened to one song... so far.
    However, this is the more important question below:
    Do I get a credit or a refund for the song? Since I paid for a song that I didn't get.
    Cheers
