I cannot download an audiobook via ITunes Store on IPhone. Error reads ''unable to download audiobook"

Once I established a better WIFI connection, I solved this problem. I originally suspected it was an IOS-ITunes capability problem. Despite downloading the audiobook, I wasn't able to access it unless I plugged iPhone into Mac.

iOS 6 (which runs on the iPhone 5) requires iTunes 10.7, which requires OS X 10.6.8 or higher.
Upgrade OS X on your Mac.

More than likely its your router. You need to make sure that the router's firewall, if enabled(most are by default), permits connection to these domains as trusted:
* itunes.apple.com
* ax.itunes.apple.com
* albert.apple.com
* gs.apple.com

Close the App Store app, reset your iPad and then try again.
To close the App Store, drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
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 if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

HT1689 How do I download magazines from the ITunes Store? It won't let me download.

When I try to download magazines, it tells me to contact support.

I sort of found a solution for mine.
If you look in iTunes in your iPhone Sync tab, there is a tab called "On This iPhone." The songs that would remove from my iPhone were listed here, but grayed-out. They also had a doted circle next to each in the left column. I thinks this indicates they are getting streamed from your iTunes Match account or from the iTunes Store. So, I turned on iTunes Match and then clicked the download cloud next to each in my iTunes song list on my iPhone. Once these were all downloaded, I was able to swipe left and delete each with the red button. A word of caution and why I say this is "sort of a solution." They still appeared in my iPhone Sync "On This iPhone" tab as before. I was able to delete these from there by selecting and then applying "Manually manage music and videos," and then deleting each one in the "On This iPhone" list. BUT they would reappear when I did a sync with "Sync Music" unchecked. Don't know what the deal is now.

I have an iPhone 4S, I have not been able to download any music via iTunes store for 4 days. I click on the song I want, it goes into the download section on the app then fails to download and just disappears?! Help!

+ I have .17p in credit from a voucher but if the item costs more it overrides it. Help!

There are a few things that you could try.
1, closing the iTunes via the taskbar and seeing if it works when you re-open it : from the home screen (i.e. not with the iTunes app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the iTunes app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
2, a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the equivalent of a reboot.
3, logging out of your account on the iPhone by tapping on your id in Settings > Store and then logging back in.

HT4759 I am unable to download ios5.1.1 and icloud on my ipad 2. itune store is showing error on click of download and update. how to get it?

Please advise steps.

Welcome to the Apple community.
Try updating by connecting it to your computer and using iTunes.

When I'm in the app store, I get error message "unable to download purchase, try again later". Any suggestions?

Any help would be awesome...I really don't want to reset my phone.
Thanks,

Firstly, I should have typed speedtest.net previously.
Now that's an interesting comment you make, out of interest do you have any purchased HD movies in your iTunes collection, if so, do they play on the Apple TV with your new tv.

I bought and paid for two audiobooks in iTunes store. However they don't download. I get error -48 and/or 1000. How do I resolve this? Thank you.

I reinstalled iTunes on my PC. Also tried downloading via iTunes on iPad and iPhone. The latter is not possible because it tells me that I already bought the products. The purchases have already been charged to my account!

Help! My iPod touch won't let me download any apps. A message keeps coming up saying "This Apple ID cannot be used for the iTunes store. Please enter another Apple ID" I changed my ID to see if that would work but the same message still comes up.

Where are you physically located?
What country's Store are you using?
The two have to be the same and the payment method for your account also has to be associated (billing address, where iTunes gift card was purchased) with that country.
Has the ID(s) worked before for purchases for this country's store?

Remember, any purchased item from the itunes store is forever associated with the Apple ID used to buy it. So when you get prompted for an ID/password and it doesn't accept it, then you are using the wrong ID.
Go to Settings>iTunes and App Stores, be sure it's logged into the ID you have set on the iphone (since that one seems to be connecting with the right ID). If you've done this, then you might wait a bit to see if the "cannot connect to .. store" message has to do with internet connections.

HT203167 It is not possible to re-download audiobooks on iTunes Store. Why?

If a person buy an audiobook at iTunes Store today and want to re-download it, he can not do it because it does not exist yet a way to do so. If the person access iTunes Store on the computer and tap Purchased, it shows only musics, movies, tv shows, apps and books, but not audiobooks. The same happens on iPhone. Actually, on iPhone it is even worse, because it does not show books either.

"And what to do if, when updating iOS on iPhone, your purchases just disappear?"
Why would you update without making sure that everything is on your computer? You should never update any device/computer, etc without making sure that everything is saved to anothe source ( backed up).
" It has happened to me quite few times with musics and audiobooks. "
It has happened before and you still fail to amkwe sure that everything is on your computer before updating?
"Why does audiobooks industry impose this resctriction "
I have no idea. You would have to ask them.
"It seems it is just an excuse."
OK. That does not change the fact that they do not allow Apple to do this.
It is up to the audiobook industry to allow this or not.

Mostly because you are not using any capital letters or paragraph returns and your post is difficult to read.

The apps in the iTunes Store are for a mobile device. Mac apps are in the Mac App Store.
