I cannot download specific songs onto my iPhone through iCloud?

I recently swapped my old iPhone 4 (that was a tad bit glitchy) for a new iPhone 4 (that's a lot glitchy). I had to restore from a previous backup, and also had to download the music I wanted on it using iMatch and iCloud. 99.9% of the songs I want download, but there are 2 songs in particular that get stuck and will not download. It seems like they start downloading fine, but when it's time for the iPhone to process it and keep it, it resets and starts downloading again. It does this about 5 times and then gives up and says that the song cannot be downloaded at this time.
I have literally tried everything. I've restored the iPhone back to factory settings and then restored from a backup again. I've restarted the iPhone and tried downloading that song again. I've tried restoring it from a different backup. None of these have worked. And what's even weirder is that it's a song that I purchased from the iTunes store directly on my iPhone. What's even weirder is that I can play the song the full way through, but after the song is done, it will not show as downloaded.
Here's a screenshot of what's happening:
It gets to that point (in the screen shot above) and then resets and tries to download the song again. It keep doing this for about 5 more times and then gives the error message above. It's very frustrating not to be able to have a full album download because of one song.
Please help!

Post in the iPhone forum and or in the iTunes forum. This is the MBP hardware forum.

HT4914 I have uploaded music to the icloud from my macbook using itunes match. Now I wish to download a song onto my iphone. A pop up warns me there may be an additional fee. Is this true? Please explain.

Are there really additional fees to download music from the itunes match icloud to an iphone?

Not for using match itself, but are you currently on a wifi network or using your cellular network ? If you are using cellular and you are on a fixed data allowance then downloading (or streaming) music over it may result in you going over your data allowance and therefore getting charged extra by your carrier

HT5622 Why when I try to download songs onto my iPhone from my iPad, it pops up and says "This device is already associated with an Apple ID, You can download past purchases on this device with just one Apple ID every 90 days.

Why when I try to download songs onto my iPhone from my iPad, it pops up and says "This device is already associated with an Apple ID, You can download past purchases on this device with just one Apple ID every 90 days. You cannot associate this device with a different Apple ID for 90 days
(Note, mine says 28 days because I have been waiting for a fair bit for this to go away.)

You can't keep changing the ID you use with iTunes, you are limited to once every 90 days.

I bought a few songs on itunes but the songs appear in grey letters and I cannot transfer them to my iphone. I've bought/rented TV shows/movies since so there isn't an issue with my account. How can I get these newly purchased songs onto my iphone?

You made a purchase and exhausted the credit on your card before it processed. All purchases are final. Contact iTunes Store support. You need to settle up before you can purchase or download anything else.

You copy them from your old computer or your backup copy of your old computer.
The iphone is not a backup/storage device.

It should be in the Videos App - if it's not in there then have you got a film age rating set in Settings > General > Resttrictions that is hiding it ?

Try a power cycled of the iPad.

HT1351 How do you manually sync songs onto iPod/iPhone with the recent iTunes? This article is invalid as there is no section on the left hand side of iTunes called 'Devices'.

Very frustraiting as I cannot currently put songs onto my iPod/iPhone after regrettably downloading the most recent iTunes, and my friends are having the same problem. I have an apple mac and it is clearly a fault of the new iTunes as it used to work before the new iTunes.

It's is Sooooooooo RETARTED!!! WHY CAN'T I MANUALLY ADD PLAYLISTS TO MY IPHONE??? AFTER I PURCHASE MUSIC IN ITUNES I THEN USUALLY CREATE A PLAYLIST (In Itunes 10.7) BECAUSE I FORGET THE ARTISTS!!

HT204406 i cannot download a song from iCloud. How can I solve this issue?

Strangely, some songs that are stored on iCloud cannot be downloaded on my devices (Mac and iPhone) although other songs which are in the same purchased album work fine. Any idea?
For example, I cannot download the song "Absolute Beginners" from the "Best of Bowie" album - I've purchased this album on iTunes in 2007 - although the other songs from the same album can be downloaded without problems. I have the same problem for other songs purchased on iTunes as well.
Am I the only one?

When you delete the local track are you removing the original and the listing from iTunes.

Is it hidden by Parental Controls? iTunes>Preferences>Parental Controls
Next try using the search feature to try to find it since the Purchased section is saying it is on your computer.

When you look at your iPhone, are you looking in the Music app or in the iTunes app? Be sure you are looking in the Music app, and look in the Songs category. If your songs are not here, you may want to try syncing your information again through iTunes. To do this, uncheck "Sync Music" and then click apply or sync in the bottom right corner of iTunes, and then recheck "Sync Music" and then click apply or sync again.
I hope this helps!

I just updated to itunes 10.3 & iOS 6.1 and I cannot download a song to my library! I get the error "This computer is already associated with an Apple ID. You can download past purchases on the computer with just one apple ID every 90 days. This computer can be used with a different Apple ID in 75 days." WHAT??
I've never had problems before - my husband and I have used the same library for years. My daughter also has her own Apple ID... are we going to have trouble with that, too? Actually we have 4 Apple IDs - somewhere around 8 Apple devices... this is a huge issue for us... HELP

Just to be clear - I just bought a new song and can't download it into the library because of this error message.
