HT201272 How to fix a bad download from the itunes store

How do I fix an issue with songs that downloaded, but won't play properly?

Assuming you are in a region where you are allowed to redownload your past music purchases, delete the current copies from your iTunes library, go to the iTunes Store home page, click the Purchased link from the Quick Links section in the right-hand column, then select Music and Not on this computer. You should find download links for your tracks there.
If the problem persists, or that facility is not yet available in your region, contact the iTunes Store support staff through the report a problem links in your account history, or via Contact Support.

  • How much ram can be downloaded from the ITunes store using 3G?

    I'm wanting to download some music apps/composing programs and wasn't able to download one because of 3G size/ram restrictions. I don't see any place on the app info site that tells me about the size, so I don't know until I'm actually downloading whether I can download or not. Is there a way to tell the size of the app if it's not posted on the ITune store? I'd rather not do partial downloads. ITunes was kind enough to get rid of Pages and I Am Symphony for me.
    Another related issue because it's about a music app: It gave me a prompt when I first tried to. use it that I didn't have enough memory. I knew that couldn't be right since I have the 64g/3G/wifi model, so I ditched that app.
    Is this what you can memory drain? I read about that on this forum? what's the best thing to do for that? restart? or did I do the right thing by ejecting the app?

    Regards the size of apps the actual size of the apps is listed on iTunes
    Secondly you seem to be getting storage capacity/app size mixed up with RAM. They are two different things. The 64GB you have on your iPad is for actual storage of content whether it be apps, books, music, podcasts, video etc. RAM is the volatile memory that is used during the running of the iPad including the apps.
    The system requirements including the amount of RAM needed to run are not simply because unlike computers all iPads are the same regards the internal system specs. The only differences being the actual storage capacity and whether they have 3G capability or not.
    If you get an error message regards lack of system memory or RAM then doing a reset may help clear this problem. Unfortunately some developers do not optimise their apps properly for the iPad and it's not the first time an app has not run or crashed due to a lack of RAM. The best thing to do is to report it to the developer using the link on their iTunes app page.
    Regards memory leaks these do occur with both software on computers as well as apps on the iPad and iPhone. These are also due to badly designed apps or software and would need to be fixed by the developers.

  • HT201272 Having a bad day my iTunes library got corrupted and my back up disk has failed how can I restore my purchases from the iTunes store

    Having a bad day my iTunes library got corrupted and my back up disk has failed how can I restore my purchases from the iTunes store? When I try it tells me the pruchases have already been downloaded to this computer.

    Does your purchased rmusic appears under the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) ? If they do and you don't have the cloud symbol against them so as to re-download them, then do you still have the entries for them in your library i.e. where you would normally click on them to play them ? If you do then try deleting them from there (iTunes will be seeing them and assuming that you still have them somewhere) and they should then get the cloud symbol for re-downloading in the Purchased link.
    If you aren't in a country where music can be re-downloaded then you could try contacting iTunes support and see if they will grant you a re-download : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page,

  • In iTunes 11 how do you get Genius recommendations from the iTunes store

    In iTunes 11 how do you get Genius recommendations from the iTunes store. It would appear that I can only get Genius recommendations from my own library. This was easy in iTunes 10 and enabled me to find lots of good artists I had never heard of.

    I have this same question and all I have found on it is this,
    http://ipod.about.com/od/advanceditunesuse/ss/genius_store.htm
    Basically it seams they got rid of the whole side bar concept of things to make it all more streamline, understandable but I know atleast for myself that genius sugestion for any song is how I found new artists and songs I never knew existed.
    If you go to the Album the go to "In the Store" it will give you a recomendation for that album... not exaclty what you might be looking for but atleast its something, if anyone else has a way to get genius sugestions for individual songs I am all ears and would love to hear about it.

  • Can the first generation iPad play an 720p HD video downloaded from the iTunes store?

    Hello fellow Apple users!

    I'd love to watch a movie in HD but I don't wanna waste money on something I can't consume.
    Thanks a lot!

  • Why am I missing artwork only and exactly for the albums I downloaded from the iTunes Store when I then sync them from PC (non-Mac) to my iPhone??

    Why am I missing artwork only and exactly for the albums I downloaded from the iTunes Store when I then sync them from PC (non-Mac) to my iPhone??
    And why can I not find a way to post this message to Apple Support without paying 35 Euros?

    Thanks, randers4,
    I don't do auto-sync. Too much music on my PC for that. I manually copy and/or delete.
    And I did delete the iTunes-acquired albums from the phone and then copied them back on:
    No change...

  • A number of songs I downloaded from the iTunes store are not playing the whole way through.

    Some of the songs are only playing for a couple of seconds, them others I have purhased around the same time are playing the whole way through. Is there any way to fix this?

    Hey maddielou2,
    Thanks for the question. The following article outlines a resolution to your issue:
    Songs in iTunes may not play back completely
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4357
    Occasionally, if a song purchased from the iTunes Store on a Mac or PC was not downloaded completely, the song may not play back fully. The song may abruptly stop during playback, and iTunes may start playing the next song in your library or playlist.
    Resolution
    If iTunes in the Cloud is available in your country, try the following steps to resolve the issue:
    - Delete the purchased song that is exhibiting the problem from your iTunes library.
    - Click on the Purchased link in the iTunes Store to view your previously purchased music.
    - Download your previously purchased song from this list.
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

  • How can I get films purchased from the iTunes store to work on my new iPod classic?

    I have recently purchased a new iPod classic, everything works accept it will not play films. At first I thought it was a problem with the films I was trying to put on as they were from my computer; but after purchasing some films from iTunes it still keeps saying that they cannot be played on this device. Please help as I have spent money on films I otherwise cannot watch.
    Any advice is welcome.

    Hey Shelly29,
    It sounds like you might be trying to sync HD videos to your iPod classic.
    HD videos purchased from the iTunes Store are compatible with iPhone 4 or later, iPad, iPod touch (4th generation or later), Apple TV, and computers. You may need to download your purchased video from iTunes in the Cloud in a lower resolution for your device.
    You'll want to check out the following article to resolve the issue, specifically the "Download previously purchased content in a lower resolution" section:

  • Why can I not download from the iTunes Store??

    I bought an album from the iTunes Store via my iPhone 5 and despite the fact that I have a strong 4G signal, it is telling me that one track is going to take over 42 minutes to download! I checked the speed on Speed Test and it showed 32mbps download and 10mbps upload. EE told me that as nothing else is affected (I can connect to other apps such as You Tube and Safari fine) then it must be a fault with my iPhone or iTunes. They also mentioned that there was a known issue with update 6.1.3 where the handset showed an LTE signal when there was actually none. Anyone aware of this?

    Try logging out of your account on the iPad by tapping on your id in Settings > Store and then log back in and see if it then works.

  • I am unable to see a song from iTunes music that was downloaded from the iTunes store

    I downloaded a tune from the Itunes store and when I try to add it to a project in iMovie, it does not show in the Music list. Is there way way it can be shown to use it in an iMovie project?

    Weird indeed, but I have seen this before.
    Close and repopen iTunes. Close and reopen iMovie.
    Still not there?
    Reboot your Mac.

  • Problems downloading from the iTunes store.

    I purchased and downloaded an album from the iTunes store.  The album appears in my 'purchased' category, but not on my regular music screen or 'cover flow' on my iPod.  Any idea what I can do?

    No 

  • My itunes downloads from the itunes store stop   I cannot get them to resume

    Twice now I have been unable to complete download installations of music purchased from the iTunes store. 
    I just received the preordered Beatles album, it is in my itunes downloads, indicates the download arrow moving at the top of the screen but nothing is happening.  It has been 10 hours now and nothing is working.  It shows up in albums, but is light gray and does not play, it shows up in downloads, has as circle next to it, again...nothing.   I tried to troubleshoot following the support suggestion that instructs to shut down the computer.  Itunes won't allow this to complete.  I receive the messsage "THE ITUNES STORE IS DOWNLOADING - ARE YOU SURE YOU WANT TO QUIT"? 
    NOTHING IS WORKING...HELP....PLEASE?

    The very first thing that I would try is to restart your iPad and try again. Hold down on the sleep/power button until the slider appears on the screen and slide to the right to power off. Hold down on the sleep/power button until the Apple logo appears on the screen to resetrt the iPad, after it starts up, try the download again.
    Another thing to try is to reboot your router. I realize that your WiFi is working, but sometimes this can kick start problematic downloads. Unplug it from power for about 30 seconds and then plug it back in again. Try the download again after the router starts up.
    Something else to try that involves a few more steps ..... Close the iTunes Store app. Sign out of your Apple ID. Reset the iPad and then try again.
    Double tap the home button and swipe up on the iTunes Store thumbnail preview window to close the app. Tap the home button. Go to the home screen. Go to Settings>iTunes & App Store> Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears on the screen and then let go of the buttons and let the iPad start up.
    Go back to Settings>iTunes & App Store>Apple ID. Sign in. Go back to the iTunes Store app and try to resume the download.

  • I cannot play a movie I just recently downloaded from the iTunes store

    I cannot play a movie I just recently downloaded from the iTunes store

    I purchased an album from the iTunes store VIA the wish list Purchase option.
    The 2 albums and 3 songs were purchased.    However, one of my songs was stuck in the "Computer is not authorized / Already Authorized" loop.  Where it asks me to authorize a song, but then says the computer is already authorized and doesn't play the song.
    I noticed looking at "Get Info" there were two key differences.
    The songs that were valid and would play have:
    Kind: Purchased AAC audio file
    Purchased by: **********
    Account Name: *****@gmail.com
    The one song that would NOT play and caused the authorization loop has:
    Kind: AAC audio file
    Purchased by:   <this field was NOT PRESENT like it was on the other files>
    Account Name: *****@gmail.com
    (**** = redacted, however the two Account Name fields were identical)
    As you can see, the Account name match, but the "Purchased By" field is missing and the Kind is not marked as "purchased".
    THIS IS A BUG.  As the entire album was bought under the same method, same time, and same account, yet, one file is improperly tagged, and does not play.  The trouble file was found in iTunes store, added to Wish list, and purchased in the same session, no other log-off, shutdown, or iTunes restart to cause a selection of anouther account name.
    This leads me to believe that iTunes is not properly tagging a file after it is downloaded that it has been purchased, thus, causing the loop.
    Apple can't blame anyone else here, as only apple hardware and software were involved in this.  MacBook Pro, OS X 10.6.  iTunes 10.7 (21)
