If your download was interrupted on your computer
You will be prompted to resume your download the next time you quit and reopen iTunes. You can also manually restart the download with the following steps.
Resuming downloads from a computer
Open iTunes.
Choose Store > Check for Available Downloads.
Enter your account name and password.
Click the "Check Downloads" button.
Click the Resume or Resume All button, or the resume arrow to resume the download.
If you believe that the item downloaded completely but it is not appearing in the Purchased playlist, click Library on the left side of iTunes to see if the item appears there.
If your download was interrupted on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
You can manually resume the download on your device with the following steps.
Resuming downloads from an iOS device
From the Home screen, tap the iTunes icon.
For iPhone/iPod touch, tap More > Downloads. For iPad, tap Downloads.
Enter your account name and password.
Click the "OK" button.
Click the Resume, Resume All button to start the download.
If you cannot complete the download on your device, you can finish the download in iTunes on your computer and then sync it to your device. For instructions, see the following articles:
iTunes Store: Where can I download and sync my purchases?
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
Additional Information
If your purchase does not resume downloading after following the steps in this article, you can also try the following steps to troubleshoot the download issue.
Restart your computer or device.
Check for updates for your Mac or PC and install any software updates. Also, check for and install updates for any security software you may have (anti-virus, anti-malware, firewall, and so on).
If using Wi-Fi for Internet access, try using a different Wi-Fi network when downloading. If you are connecting to a home network, try restarting your Wi-Fi router. Also, check for and install any firmware updates for your Wi-Fi router. (Refer the manufacturer's website for your router to get information on updating its firmware).
If you are on a computer, try using an ethernet cable for wired Internet access instead of using Wi-Fi. If the issue is still unresolved and you're using iTunes for Windows, follow steps in iTunes for Windows: Troubleshooting security software issues.
I hope this information helps ....
Have a great day!

    I have downloaded Japanese calendar to my calendar already.  Can't I download more than one holiday calendar?

    Plug your device into the original charger & block in a wall outlet and leave it alone for a couple of hours. Then, while it is still plugged in, restart it by holding down the home button and the power button for 10-15 seconds until you see the Apple, then let go.

  • TS1424 My film I rented from iTunes has frozen half way through downloading and won't finish downloading, any ideas?

    My film I rented from iTunes has frozen half way through downloading and won't finish downloading, any ideas?

    TRy to close itunes by double tapping the home button then slide up all of the open apps and try again.
    another option is to turn off your ipad, logout from your itunes account and try again downloading the movie. If it still gives you error, call apple support and ask for itunes agent to see if there is something wrong with the movie you are trying to download

    Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the home button together until the apple logo appears (ignore the ON/OFF slider) then let both buttons go and wait for device to restart (no data will be lost).

  • My printer HP color laser jet CP1215 seems to have frozen and no matter what i do it won't restart

    I have the HP color laser jet CP1215 and it seems to have frozen. I have tried unplugging and replugging the printer as well as just turning it on and off. I was able to delete some of the documents in the queue but there is one that I cannot delete and it is freezing the printer.

    Hi,
    If that did not work there is more wrong than just a hanging printjob, the step should have removed it.
    Say "Thanks" by clicking the Kudos Star in the post that helped you.
    Although I work for HP my posts and replies are my own
    Please mark the post that solves your problem as "Accepted Solution"

  • When downloading a song it says its waiting and won't fully download

    When downloading a song on my iPhone is says its waiting and won't fully download.

    Are you on an ipod or an ipad? If so, then you may have to go onto your itunes on your computer and re-sync it to the device, that should fix the problem.
    If, by chance, you are on your computer when this happened, try doing the vice versa and still plug the device into your computer and transfer purchases from the device. That should work!
    Best Regards!

  • My screen seems to have frozen and does not respond when I touch. I tried to shut it off and when the red slider comes up, it does not let me slide it off.

    My ipad screen seems to have frozen. I tried to turn it off and the red slider does not respond when I slide it. What can I do?

    Hold down the sleep and home keys for about 20 seconds. If you see the silver apple it's rebooting. Let it do that and see if you're unfrozen.

  • Download freezes in iTunes on iPhone and won't finish downloading album

    I purchased a full album on my iPhone today for the first time. Normally I purchase all music through my MacBook and transfer it to the iPhone as necessary. But today I got the whim to download a new album from my iPhone and it downloaded the first song without a problem. It seemed to download the second song without a problem but it's stuck on "Finishing..." and has been for several minutes now.

    It's been a couple of hours since your post, did it ever clear?

    a pop up error message says itunes couldnt be configured
    I'd like to have a closer look at that error message please.
    Generate the error message again. While the error message box is open, hold down the Alt key and hit the PrtSc key. Paste the screenshot into an image file (using a program like Paint), and save the file.
    Start a reply here and click the wee camera icon at the top of the reply window. Click "Choose file", browse to the image file, select the file and click "Open". Now click "Insert file" to insert the screenshot into the reply.

  • Apple tv2 movie rental cache drops off and won't finish downloading (not related to internet connection)

    I'm having an issue with my apple tv2 when renting movies.  This isn't with home-sharing but just renting movies only with the apple tv.  We've done this with 10 or so movies up until the issue so it has worked in the past. 
    What happens is that the movie downloads to a certain point and then the cache bar goes immediately to the end of the progress bar like the whole movie is downloaded.  The movie will play to a certain point, say the 9 minute mark, and then the picture just freezes with no more sound but the progress bar tracker continues along like it's still playing.  This has happened on multiple movies now.
    We've spoken to support about this and tried a variety of troubleshooting ideas.  Unplugged, reset, restored, updated firmware, etc. with no luck.  The download will restart but freezes at the exact second that it did before while showing that the cached download is complete.  We've checked the internet connection with other devices and there's no connection problem at all.  Reset the router as well for good measure but no change. 
    I know we can try renting and downloading on the computer first and then sharing with the apple tv but I would prefer to know why it's not working on the apple tv itself. 
    Any ideas would be great. 
    Thanks

    Yeah, that's what we thought too so we got a refund (by using the report a problem link and explaining what happened) and tried a different movie with the same result.  Used the link again after the second movie didn't work and went through pretty much the same troubleshooting steps with them. 
    Basically the only solution offered so far has been to take it to a licensed apple retailer for them to take a look.

  • Frozen and won't reboot "Downloading... Do not turn off Target!!!"

    So, I'm just checking email this morning, and it froze on a message.  I didn't download anything, just trying to read the stupid email and it froze.  It wouldn't respond to anything.  My buttons on the bottom would turn off as I touched them as if they might respond eventually, but they never did.  I waited, patiently. Nothing.  So I tried to shut the phone off, it wouldn't respond to that either.  Still stuck on the stupid email message.  So, I pulled the battery and put it back, tried to start it and it was stuck on the Samsung logo.  Wouldn't change, move along or anything.  Tried to pull the battery again, same thing.  So, I'm here on the internet and look up reset procedures and I try the one about the volume down button and the power button.  So, here I am at the android man shoveling spit and "Downloading... Do not turn off Target!!!  What the ham sam?  It's stuck again, but now on this screen.  Anyone have anything for me to try or should I just go return my phone?  I just activated this one maybe 3 weeks ago.  =(

    I actually did end up talking to a technician on the phone.  2 actually and they were very nice and knowledgeable but it ended up we couldn't get the phone going?  Then, at 11:30 pm, it turns on!!!! Scared the crap out of me and said it was in recovery mode, so I let it but then it stared forclosing apps, like daily briefing and the INVOPATH or something like that said it wanted to update but it never did.  Anyway, my new/refurbished one is on it's way.  I love Verizon!  Always helpful!  Maybe this phone was just a dud.  But, the one good thing about it actually turning back on even if it was still messed up, I got to factory reset it so my info wasn't on there anymore before I send it back int.  That makes me feel a little better.  Oh well, thanks for listening.

  • Two days ago two of the forum I use stopped working as they did. Google Chrome can open these sites without problem. I have checked that Javascript is working. What can I do to get the sites back to the way they were?

    Two days ago two forums I regularly use stopped working properly. One of them is www.mobileread.com, and the main problem is with marking the forums read. The staff there suggested that I check that Javascript is enabled. It is, but the problem remains.
    The other site just looks as though there is no styling on the index page; it just shows a list of links.
    I can use both sites with Google Chrome just as I did before, so it has to be a problem with Firefox.
    There are many other sites I visit, and I have not had the same problem there.

    For the one with a styling problem, see what you have for View > Page Style
    the normal style is default and "No Style" would wipe out styling but in this area it would apply to all pages.
    I don't know of an extension that would selectively turn page styling or off, but look at your extensions.
    Both problems could be caused by filters added to "Adblock Plus" extension.
    Bring up "Open blockable items [Ctrl+Shift+V]" in ADP by right-clicking on the toolbar/addons bar icon or in the add-on's options. See what is being blocked and the filter that is blocking it. You can easily test filters there and turn them on/off and retest. You can see the filter that is blocking an item, you can use the mouse to see where that filter came from. Choices of what columns to display can be made with the little icon to the right of the column headings in the list.
    Attached is a picture of blockable items I see for the www.mobileread.com page. To view a page that you need to view or use, you can try modifying your filters or toggling the "State" column (preferred). You can disable Adblock Plus from the extensions options but that defeats the protection it offers.
    If seems that the problem would be an extension, or a style, or theme.
