HT201272 My iPhone won't download music from iCloud only apps. The songs appear to download, then give a download error message just before it finishes. Also the songs won't transfer when I sync the phone to pc, only the apps.

My iPhone only downloads apps from iCloud, the songs get almost finish then I get a download error message. Also the only thing that syncs are the apps, not the music when I sync on pc?

Hi,
I experienced the same issue as you have. What worked for me is the following:
Go to iTunes store on your iPad. Under Downloads (the icon to the bottom right) you should see the episode that is causing you the issue. Delete this episode (swipe to left). Then retry. This worked for me.
The workaround is far from ideal and Apple needs to find a solution for this as you are not the only one who reported this issue.

  • I brought a new ipad 2 4th generation and have tried to download music from icloud to it but it appears to download and then is not on the ipad. I have also tried to manually add music from iTunes but that doesn't work either? What is going wrong?

    You are not using iTunes Match are you? If you are, you have to turn it off on the device before you sync with iTunes but I'm not sure how that impacts manually managing music in iTunes. I would also assume that if you use Match, the songs would download from the cloud by using Match on the device.

    This is sort of a long shot, but it's easy to try and won't hurt anything. Close all the apps on the iPad in the recents tray and reboot the iPad, then try again. I saw this work for someone else a while back that couldn't download or sync music, but I think it was probably just a coincidence, but as I said, it will not hurt to try.
    Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • I have not been able to sync my iPad with my pc. It runs for an hour, never gets past the backing up stage and then gives me an error message that the action could not be completed. Any suggestions?

    ?

    Several things to try.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the Sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut Off. To power up hold the Sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time (for about 10-15 seconds) until the Apple logo appears (ignore the red slider), then let go of the buttons.
    Disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily.

  • When I synced my phone with my mac, the music that I had in my phone got transferred to my mac. 140 songs to be exact, however I can no longer see the songs on my phone, only the purchased album I have appears. How can I get the songs I had back?

    Connect your phone to computer, and sync like this. Check the boxes for the playlists, artists, albums you want to sync. Then click Apply. If you have enough space on your phone, you can choose Entire music library.

  • Iphone will not download music from icloud

    I have a iphone 5, that is running with on 7.1.2. I have 2.0 GB of space available and about 12 songs that will not download. I have recently been getting the problem that I will buy songs from itunes, but after syncing my iphone to my computer, some of the songs (at random) will be in the cloud. This will include some songs I have bought both on the phone itself and on the computer. While all is good on my itunes on my computer, the music on my phone will not download so I can listen to them. If I click the icloud button, I get the spinning circle showing that it is thinking about downloading, but then the icloud button will reappear. It is the same over wifi or data. First it was just one random song out of 10 songs bought, but over the months it has grown. The latest has included not downloading a full album as seen below.

    Even when I sync my phone, the music still remains in the cloud on my phone.
    I am not using match.

  • Can I download music from iCloud to my PC?

    This seems like something I should be able to do. My iPhone is backed up to my iCloud account. I have a new PC. Can I download my music to the new PC from iCloud? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hello mrbaker1917,
    You can always redownload your iTunes purchases for free from the iTunes store:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519
    Here is some more information about iTunes in the cloud. http://www.apple.com/icloud/features/itunes-in-the-cloud/.
    There is a service called iTunes Match that will allow you to download non iTunes purchased songs on any device that sounds like what you are wanting to accomplish.
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/itunes-match/
    And lastly, here is what iCloud backs up when you use that feature:
    You get 5 GB of free iCloud storage for:
    Photos and videos in the Camera Roll
    Device settings (for example: Phone Favorites, Wallpaper, and Mail, Contacts, Calendar accounts)
    App data
    Home screen and app organization
    Messages (iMessage, SMS, and MMS)
    Ringtones
    Visual Voicemails

  • Cannot Connect to iTunes Store - Download music from iCloud to iphone 4s

    Hi,
    Desperate for help.
    I have the iTunes match service on my iPhone 4s. All of the songs in the cloud are showing as available to use but when I tap a song to play the song appears on the screen but not play. I have tried using my 3g and internet connection but to no available. When I try to download an individual song by tapping the iCloud logo button I get the message “Cannot Connect to iTunes”.
    I am definitely signed in to iTunes on the phone. iTunes match is definitely switched on.
    I have tried switching the phone off and on using regular and hard reset method. Every other aspect of the phone is working fine. I have even download a new song on iTunes successfully.
    Regards,
    Shaun

    I am able to log into iTunes from my iPhone (i checked my account info)
    But, I am unable to update any Apps through the App Store.  Everytime I try, it comes up with the error "Cannot connect to iTunes Store"  
    And that's where I'm stuck.

    I am unable to download iTunes on my second Windows 8 computer (64 bit). I got it fine on my first one and have used it quite a bit. After downloading the program and installing it on the second computer, I keep getting this error message: "Apple Mobile Device Failed to Start." This happens when when my IPhone 5c is connected via Wi-Fi and I have clicked on "Trust This Computer." (I have tried to install several times-- It gets hung up when it reaches"Starting Services.")

    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (Later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    See also HT1925: Removing and Reinstalling iTunes for Windows XP or HT1923: Removing and reinstalling iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    Should you get the error iTunes.exe - Entry Point Not Found after the above reinstall then copy QTMovieWin.dll from:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
    and paste into:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes
    The above paths would be for a 64-bit machine. Hopefully the same fix with the " (x86)" omitted would work on 32-bit systems with the same error.

  • Streaming vs downloading music from iCloud

    Its my undertanding that after setting up iTunes match and iCloud on my devices, I can now stream music via the iTunes app on my iPad or iPhone.  I also understand that by tapping the little cloud icon instead of the song name, I can choose to download that song onto the device instead of just stream it.
    Upon using this for a few weeks now, I noticed that the tunes I listen to loose their little iCloud icon.  This got me to thinking, and by going into the settings and telling the device to show only song on the device, I saw that every song I've listened to has been downloaded. 
    I am NOT tapping the cloud by accident, I assure you.  But has anyone else experienced this, or does anyone have an explanation?  I don't want to download every song I listen to, I want to stream it!

    Some times I think Apple create their own headaches with some of their descriptions of things.
    Streaming obviously means different things to different people. I guess I think streaming is the ability to display something whilst it is being delivered and from that point of view iTunes Match would be a streaming service (that also retains the media for further use).
    From the point of view of the question though, where the user doesn't want to retain the downloaded/streamed content, that as far as I am aware isn't possible, they'd need to delete it manually from their devices.

  • Why do old purchases always transfer when I sync my phone?

    I've had these apps forever, but every single time I sync my phone they decide they need to transfer. It takes an extra 10-15 minutes every time I want to sync, when they're already on my phone/itunes! Why does this happen? Can I stop this?
