I cannot download things with iTunes

Hello everyone,
I finally got my iPod today after it being delayed by heavy snowfall, and was very excited to use it. so I started up iTunes, followed all instructions, and managed to get my music on my iPod.
Then I decided to download an app, and this is where the problems start. As soon as I click download, I get an error message in Dutch, roughly translated it says something like this:
'Your request to iTunes could not be completed due to an unknown error (2001)'.
I am totally clueless what to do

hi phileus,
I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the exact nature of the issue you are describing. If you mean that you are having issues with iTunes not recognizing your new iPhone on your Windows machine, you may find the troubleshooting steps outlined in the following article helpful:

    Hi guys,
    I need some everytime I try to download a song purchase from itunes I get the error message. 'Unable to Download Song' could not be downloaded at this time. I cannot even sync with itunes on the PC.
    Kind regards

    One correction, from the icloud I was not able to listed to the entire song.  So when you purchased the song if it wasn't downloaded to your library, chances are you have lost your opportunity to listen to it.

  • Uploading to online data storage: Now cannot download songs into iTunes

    Hello all.
    I am not seeing this one on any FAQs, knowledge bases, or discussion boards yet:
    I am doing my initial upload of files to SugarSync, a highly-recommended online data storage service. Since I started, I cannot download songs into iTunes, even from the iTunes Store.
    On any new downloads from the iTunes Store, the song DOES appear in the Music library view but immediately after completing the download it shows the exclamation point warning that the file is not in its location. The new folders get created properly within the iTunes Music folder but the subfolder where the song should be is empty. Each time I had to write iTunes Support to get them to make the files available.
    I can still add files manually, no problem. E.g., I can add *.mp3 or *.wav files or folders, I can convert them to AAC, etc. The glitch seems to occur only when automated loads into iTunes are operating.
    As a test, I downloaded a song from Amazon. Here the problem was different but I could work around it manually. Normally the Amazon process loads songs automatically into iTunes, too. Here again, the download did create the proper folder in the iTunes Music folder, as it should, but this time the symptoms were reversed:
    (a) the mp3 file WAS in its folder as it should be (w/the iTunes DL, the file was NOT there)
    (b) the song did NOT appear in the iTunes Music view (w/the iTunes DL, the song DID appear)
    (c) I was able to browse to the file and tell it manually to load into iTunes (w/iTunes I had to write Support and wait a day).
    (I wonder what's the cause of the differences between the two cases.)
    Strictly speaking, I can't PROVE the problem has anything to do with SugarSync (which otherwise seems good so far), but the DL problem started as soon as I started using it. Something in the SugarSync upload or file-monitoring process, or an odd thin gin iTunes, seems to be preventing automated, direct loads into iTunes. And since the data service runs in background, so it can monitor file changes, that might mean I can't buy music anymore! Obviously that would be a dealbreaker with SS. (I have contacted SS on this but they've not had fair chance to reply yet.)
    1) Anyone else have this problem?
    2) Is this permanent or just temporary while I am doing the initial upload?
    3) Anyone know a solution?
    (FYI, I am a highly-experienced user and otherwise quite handy with iTunes files, library moves, and backups. My library is entirely consolidated and all AAC.)
    Thanks.
    (Oh, and this occurred in both iTunes 8 and the new iTunes 9, so it seems unrelated to the upgrade this week.)

    UPDATE 1. CHANGING BROWSER HELPED -- OR DID IT?
    I called Apple iTunes Support, who said the problem is new to them. The technician's hypothesis was that something, perhaps browser-related, was interfering with the initial creation of a temporary file (which should go to the Recycle Bin) that instead causes the completed file to go to there.
    He noted that iTunes, though not going through one's browser onscreen, does use settings within one's default browser. I use Mozilla Firefox, so we switched to IE as the default browser, restarted iTunes, and the song downloaded with no problem! Then I switched back to Mozilla, restarted iTunes, and it worked AGAIN with no problem!
    (Dutifully I advised SugarSync, which is still investigating.)
    UPDATE 2: ARTIST NAME CHANGE - SOME FILES GOT MIS-MOVED / MIS-CHANGED
    Definitely something still wrong. This time some pre-existing song entries (not new downloads) lost their connection to their source file.
    In iTunes, which manages folder names for artists and albums automatically, I corrected the spelling for an Artist, so immediately iTunes renamed the folder, and automatically SugarSync noted the change to be uploaded. While the changed folder name and all the songs within were still uploading to SS, in iTunes I saw exclamation points come up -- but only for some of them. Most files got moved or changed correctly, but several lost connection to their file (i.e., the file was removed for the original misnamed folder but never moved into the correctly-named folder). Weird.
    Worse, in only some of those cases did I find the missing *.m4a file in the Recycle bin. (I had to retrieve old, original *.mp3 versions from another folder and re-import each into iTunes manually.) I've never seen iTunes have a problem managing an Artist rename until I started using the live SS process.
    (I've reported this to SS and asked if there is a way to disable temporarily SS to see if that's the problem.)
    [Note: I am willing to try downloads again but I am wary of trying to rename entire Artists (Folder) again. That was a lot of work.]

    UPDATE 3: SERIES OF TESTS - 1 FAILURE USING iTUNES
    Still problem occurs, but not always. Today, I rebooted PC. I tried CD, iTunes, & Amazon. I varied having the browser open when using iTunes.
    Here are the results of a series of attempts to download songs. "FAIL" means the file did not load properly into iTunes or loaded but lost its connection (exclamation point warning).
    # Source Mozilla #Songs Result
    1 CD Closed 1 OK
    2 iTunes Closed 1 OK
    3 Amazon Open 2 OK
    4 iTunes Open 1 FAIL

    6 iTunes Closed 1 OK

    (I reported this to SS. Hoping they'll test and find the problem.)

  • Error with iTunes "The iPod Group Storage cannot be used with iTunes...."

    I bought a usb hub to accomodate my multiple usb devices. I plugged my iPod into this and got the following error:
    "The iPod Group Storage cannot be used with iTunes because it is not formatted properly."
    I plugged the iPod into the computer rather than the hub. Same thing
    Tried to restore, per the error message's direction. It says it has restored it to factory settings, then it brings up that message again.
    I uninstalled and re-installed iTunes. Same thing. It was playing fine but it needs re-charging now and it won't because of the error.
    Does anyone have any ideas? I don't know what to do now.
    Thanks.

    Try to reset your iPod using the recovery mode as described in this support article
    However, this will erase the iPod completely. If you have an iTunes-backup on your computer you can restore your iPod settings later from the backup.
    I have never tried this in WIndows, however. The procedure might be slightly differeent.

  • Can not sync ipod shuffle says : The Ipod SYS  cannot be used with itunes  because it is not formatted properly. But i have restore it several times and still not working

    Hi, I'm trying to sync my new Ipod to get the new album I got but when I connected it the meesage: The Ipod SYS  cannot be used with itunes  because it is not formatted properly. appears in itunes. I have restored several times now but it is not working I already downloaded music to it, it is brand new..just 2 weeks old. Somebody can help me? Do I need to return it to the store I bought it from?

    The last Restore completed without any error message, or do you get the "ipod SYS" error message?
    I'm thinking this is a case of iTunes and Windows confusing the iPod's storage disk with another drive, described here
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1493
    So, iTunes/Windows thinks another drive is the iPod, and errors out because that drive is not formatted as expected (for an iPod).  The solution, in the document linked above, is to change the iPod's assigned drive letter.

  • HT4059 my iPad mini cannot download books from iTunes - help

    my iPad mini cannot download books from iTunes - help

    Hi, debikay45. 
    Test to see if you can download a free application from the App Store.  If this was successful, test downloading the book again.  Try closing all open applications and power cycling the device, test the results.  Make sure you have an active Internet connection.  If these results were unsuccessful, see the steps in the article below that refer to iOS. 
    Isolate the issue: (Mac OS X, Windows, iOS)
    Make sure the issue is with the iTunes Store only. (You need an Internet connection to access the iTunes Store).Open a secure website to test if you are online as is necessary for the iTunes Store. This also tests if the main ports 80 and 443 are accessible. If the website works but the iTunes Store does not, it is most likely a firewall blocking the iTunes software or servers. If this is the case, follow the steps in the "Blocked by software firewall" section below.
    Test using another device.If possible, another device, ideally on a different network, would help troubleshooting any iTunes Store issues most efficiently. If another device on another network has issues, the iTunes Store may be undergoing maintenance, and will be available soon.
    Test using another network.
    Connect your computer or device to another network and testing helps determine the next step. This is also helpful if multiple devices are affected.
    If your device can connect to Wi-Fi and a cellular network, larger downloads may not be possible over the cellular network.
    If the issue disappears while connected to another network, you may need to work with your support options to open access to:
    itunes.apple.com
    ax.itunes.apple.com
    ax.init.itunes.apple.com
    albert.apple.com
    gs.apple.com
    ax.phobos.apple.com.edgesuite.net
    mzstatic.com
    Note: iTunes may use the fully qualified version of these addresses for additional security.
    iTunes uses well known ports and these ports may need to be opened for iTunes: 80, 443, 3689, 5297, 5298, 5353, 8000-8999, and 42000-42999.
    It is critical that your date, time, and time zone be correct:Windows:
    Click Start and then click Control Panel.
    Click "Date, Time, Language, and Regional Options" and then click Date and Time.
    Click the Date & Time tab.
    Make sure that the date and time settings are configured to use the current date and time and then click OK.
    Mac OS X:
    From the Apple () menu, choose System Preferences.
    In System Preferences, click Date & Time.
    Enable the option to "Set date and time automatically" if it is not.
    Click the Time Zone tab and adjust the time zone to match your current location.
    iOS:
    From the home screen, tap Settings > General > Date & Time.
    If the option exists, turn off Set Automatically.
    Verify the time zone and time (in the status bar) are correct for where you are currently.
    If not, adjust the incorrect setting accordingly.
    If everything was correct and the option exists, turn on Set Automatically.
    Remove any restrictions that may be causing the issue:
    Windows:
    It is recommended you use iTunes from an administrator account.
    Refer to the Help documentation from Microsoft, contact your IT department, or visitsupport.microsoft.com for more information.
    You can also check using iTunes Diagnostics if you are recognized as an administrator by iTunes.
    Mac OS X:
    It is recommended you use iTunes from an administrator account. To become an administrator account, from the Apple () menu, choose System Preferences.
    In System Preferences, click Accounts.
    You may need to unlock the lock in the bottom-left corner of the window to make changes. If you can unlock the lock, you are already an admin user.
    Under the account you are using, it may say "Standard." Enable the option to "Allow user to administer this computer" to make the user an admin account user.
    From the Apple () menu, choose Log Out.
    Log back in and return to using iTunes. Test to see if the issue is resolved.
    iOS: Restrictions can limit your ability to purchase some content. Check restrictions via Settings> General > Restrictions if you're unsure about those settings.
    After isolating the issue to iTunes by following the above steps:
    If the issue still occurs and iTunes displays an alert message with a specific code, please see the section below titled "Specific Conditions and Alert Messages" for additional troubleshooting steps.
    If the issue is still not resolved and there is no specific code or alert message, you can visit the iTunes Store Discussion Board to try to find additional information for help resolving your issue:
    You can also contact AppleCare to discuss your support options. Depending on your product’s coverage status, you may need to pay for support.

    Anyone has been having this problem?

    I have the same issue, bteween France and The Netherlands. No solution found yet.
    Worse even. My credit card is not from The Netherlands, and the dutch store does not accept a creditcard from outside NL. So i used my french card to buy one app using France has my home country. Luckily the app's language remained English, but now the french store seems to be offering me frech versions of existing (free) apps which i dont want. So i cant use the updates.
    i cant change the country back to Neterlands, without using a credit card. I can make a new ID, but the old one remains stuck with the french store, pffff It seems the only solution is to create a new ID via a "purchase" of a free app, but the older free apps all may need to be reinstalled that way.
    Typical Apple ..... ? ! !
    I may regret having purchased this ipad.....

  • Cannot download Photoshop with the exact same adjustments I downloaded InDesign with.

    Hi there, and thanks for your help.
    I try to start the download from my Firefox12. (The same way I did when I successfully downloaded InDesign.) Adobe Downloader starts. (I also tried starting the Downloader beforehand, to no avail.) Sometimes nothing happens, sometimes I get as far as to be asked where I want the program to be installed. Then the download won't start and a little grey sentence tells me to sign in again do Adobe Downloader, which I had of course done before to get thus far.
    Your help will be greatly appreciated.

    Hi Jeff,
    I tried to choose the file /adobe that I downloaded InDesign into as well
    as /program files (x86).
    I do not get any specific error messages.
    The download simply will not start.
    I use Windows7, by the way.
    Thanks for  helping!

    This forum is for questions about Apple Remote Desktop, Apple's software for managing networked Mac systems, and hence not the best place for your question. I'd suggest asking in the iTunes for Windows forum.
    Note, however, that iTunes has never been supported on the 64-bit version of Windows XP, so you're on your own to attempt to get it working.

  • Cannot sync ipod with itunes after setting up new computer with newest version of itunes

    Cannot sync ipod with itunes after setting up on new computer, only songs which tansferred were songs bought on new computer after set up, tried to sync songs and it deleted old songs from ipod.  How can I get them back on ipod??  They are showing in music library on itunes still.

    If the iPod database gets corrupted, it will add files to "Other" instead of where they really belong.
    Restoring the iPod will erase this database and recreate it.
    And if I do this, won't I just have the same issue when my iPod is re-updated to the most recent version again?
    No, it shouldn't. This is why you Restore the iPod. It erases the corrupt database.
