You can convert them to mps from itunes if you choose.

    You have to be in a country, and have a billing address in that country, to download from its store. You can try requesting that the app be added to the Slovenia store, but unless the app's developer/rights-holder agrees to it then Apple won't be able to sell it there : http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunes.html

  • I can't download any music from itunes, says there is not enough memory to support the download

    I can not download any music from itunes, little box pops up and says there is not enough memeory to download?

    iCloud storage has absolutely nothing to do with local storage. You need to free up space on the iPad in order to download the movies. You can transfer some content into iTunes and then delete it from the iPad in order to make room on the device.
    Settings>General>Usage>Storage is where you delete content if you want to do it in there.

  • HT3702 can i download free content from itunes and app store without any billing information?

    I am a iPhone 3gs user firmware version 3.1.3 . the question is can i download free content from itunes and the app store without billing info ? please help !

    If you only want the free apps, take a look here:

    Read the steps carefully as the order in which you follow them is  critical. Note that you can do this only when creating a new Apple ID. You cannot use an existing ID. 
    You will of course not be able to get anything other than the free apps without entering in some sort of payment method (credit card, prepaid iTunes card, gift certificate, etc.)
    Regards.

  • I can't download anymore TV from itunes, says i don't have enough icloud storage. My storage says i have 5GB to use and 4.6GB are still free

    I can't download anymore TV from itunes, says i don't have enough icloud storage. My storage says i have 5GB to use and 4.6GB are still free

    The message shouldn't have anything to do with iCloud storage. You need the free space on the iPad itself, not in iCloud. You have to free up space on the iPad by deleting content. You can delete any movies, videos, apps, or whatever you want to delete in Settings>General>Usage>Storage.

  • I can't download complete albums from iTunes with my iPod.

    I can't download complete albums from iTunes with my iPod - only singles.  If I want to download an entire album I have to do it with my computer and then connect and sync my device.  Can anyone help me and tell me how I can download using my iPod?  Thank you.

  • HT1689 Downloaded an album from itunes and only half of the songs will download to my ipad.  error says file cannot be converted.  How do I get this fixed or request a refund since I can't use the item purchased?.

    Downloaded and album from itunes and only half of the songs will download to my ipod.   Error message says file cannot be converted.  How do I fix this or get a refund from itunes?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Try deleting the problematic file (electing to remove original file if/when prompted) and then re-downloading the file from the iTunes store.
    You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option from the Quick Links section in the top right corner of the iTunes homepage in your iTunes application on your computer.
    You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option at the bottom of the screen of the iTunes app (or video app) on your iOS device.
    If the problem re-occurs, select the content which is causing a problem and use the 'Report a problem' button in Your Purchase History using your computer.

  • HT1725 I downloaded an album from itunes and only half of the songs have downloaded. The rest of the songs keep trying to download and then come up with an error saying they cannot download at this time. I'm not sure what the issue is.

    I downloaded an album from itunes and only half of the songs have downloaded. The rest keep trying to download, but I keep getting a message that says, "Song cannot be downloaded at this time. Do you want to retry or be done." Each time I retry, the same thing happens. They will not download. I have restarted my phone and the same problem remains.

    Other people have been having similar problems with songs over a number of days.
    Depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then try deleting it 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 : 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 Store > View My Account 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.

  • Trying to download full course from itunes U.  Only one lecture downloaded.  How do I do the rest?

    Cannot download full course from iTunes U.  Can only do one.  How do I do the rest?

    You do not.  If it is not available in the app store for your country, you cannot download it.
    Try a search of your country's app store for similar apps.

  • Can't transfer audio mp3 from Itunes to my Ipod

    I have been downloading audio books from my local library for years using over drive.  I have downloaded them using WMA, but for some reason the audio books I request are coming in MP3 (I haven't a clue why).  I download the audio to over drive, then transfer the file to my IPod nano (4th or 5th generation).  It looks like everything is transferring as usual,  But after ejecting my ipod from the computer and look for my book, there is nothing there.
    I thought my Ipod devise accepted MP3 format?  I'm a novice and don't if the issue is with my Ipod nano, ITunes, or overdrive?
    Can someone help me clear up my problem?
    Thaks

    I had the same thing happen to me.
    All I had to do was reset the iPhone. If you don't know, just hold the home button down at the bottom of your screen and the power button at the same time. After 10 seconds, it may ask if you want to power down - keep holding - it will reset. Don't power down.

  • Can't download song purchased from Itunes from one computer to another using same Apple ID

    Hi, I am operating itunes 11 at home, using Mac OS 10.7.5.. I purchased a song at work (also a Mac, I am not sure which version of OSM or itunes). I accessed the purchase of the song in the "Purchased" menu option in itunes on my home Mac. When I tried to download the song at home so I can include it in my Library, I got the following message:
    This computer is already associated with an Apple ID. You can download past purchases on this computer with just one Apple ID every 90 days.
    So: just to be clear:I can only buy something from  itunes from one computer and save to another with the  same Apple ID only every 90 days??? And if that is the case, I have not purchased anything from my work computer within 90 days of this recent song  purchase. That just does not make sense to me, since the license covers 10 devices anyway, and I am using the same Apple ID.
    Let me know if I am not understanding this correctly, or am doing something wrong. It just does make not sense to me that I can't download a purchase I made from one computer to another since I am paying Apple for the music and just accessing it elsewhere, using the same account.
    Thanks so much.

    Thanks for the response. Yes, my husband logged on to our computer and rented a movie for us to view. That is how we use Itunes: I purchase the music, he may purchase a movie or a rental now and then. This is new, it never happend before.
    Also, I contacted customer support, both by phone and email. Not only does someone else using the home computer under a different account trigger this, but so does simply activating my own user id from a different computer (one of the 5 I am allowed to under the service agreement.)
    Customer support was very helpful and lifted the 90 day ban. I called them because I purchased a season pass of a TV show and could not download the first episode because it was a "past purchase" (the episode was not even available to download when I purchased the pass, so “past” is indeed relevant.)
    But I don't see the point of purchasing content from Apple now. This feature limits the accessibility of legal purchases under the service agreement.  Why allow 5 computers per Apple ID if activating one of them limits the ability to download content for 90 days??
    I (used to) buy movies, rentals and TV shows all the time. I don’t have cable, so Apple was the source for all “must have” shows that I couldn’t wait for. Too bad.

  • How many times can I download a movie from iTunes?

    I recently purchased some of the movies offered in the bundled sales and am curious how many times I can download them.  Will they always be in the cloud, or do I exceed a limited number of views or downloads at a certain point?  I suppose if I did exceed a limited number of views from my Apple TV, or downloads from iTunes to my computer, I should then back them up.
    Thanks for any guiance you guys may offer!

    If you are in a country where you can re-download films, and if the studio allows re-downloading, then you will be able to re-download them as many times as you like - but there is no guarantee that they will remain in the store (studios occasionally remove them), so you are better off keeping your own backup copy of them (and similarly with your other downloads) rather than relying on them remaining in the store

  • Can't download purchased songs from itunes store.

    I recently had my laptop and itouch stolen. I now have a new laptop and itouch and would like to download the already purchased songs from the itunes store onto my new laptop. The itunes store has the songs in my purchase history but I can't find the option to download them again. I tried buying a song again to see if it would state that I had already purchased the song and that I could download it for free. But it only asked me if I would "like to buy it again". Surely their must be a way to download the songs again onto my new laptop. Any help would be great.

    "PRODUCTS CAN BE DOWNLOADED ONLY ONCE; AFTER BEING DOWNLOADED, THEY CANNOT BE REPLACED IF LOST FOR ANY REASON. YOU SHALL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR BACKING UP YOUR OWN SYSTEM, INCLUDING ANY PRODUCTS PURCHASED OR RENTED FROM THE ITUNES STORE THAT ARE STORED IN YOUR SYSTEM."
    http://www.apple.com/legal/itunes/us/terms.html#SERVICE
    Was your backup copy stolen as well?
    If so, you can try e-mailing itunes support to see if they will make an exception, although they are under no obligation to do so.

  • Can't download certain songs from iTunes match

    Last night I extacted a full album from a CD to my PC laptop via iTunes.
    All track names were detected by gracenote and all 12 songs were exacted and showing up in iTunes except the artwork was missing for some reason?
    I upload all 12 songs to iTunes match.
    Today, on my desktop, I turned on iTunes match and I can see the album and all 12 songs.
    There is a download button next to each track and I attempted to download all 12 songs.  Most of them downloaded except 4 songs for some reason?
    The download button is NOT greyed out, it's black, but when I click on it iTunes does nothing.  The songs were not downloaded from iTunes match and I have no idea why?  No error message....it just doesnt want to download those 4 songs.
    Troubleshooting: 
    -Turned off itunes match.  Restarted iTunes and turned iTunes Match back on.  Tried to download the songs again, download button is black but same problem.
    -Signed out of my Apple account and singed back on.  Tried to download the songs again, download button is black but same problem.
    -Deauthorized computer, re-authorized computer, updated iTunes match.  Tried to download the songs again, download button is black but same problem.
    I don't get it?  Why would some of the tracks download but not all of them when the entire track list is present.  12/12 songs are showing up but iTunes Match would only let me download 8/12 songs. 

    Also, I am running iTunes 11.1.3 on Windows 7 Pro x64 for both my laptop and desktop.
