I have purchased an album on itunes through my iphone and downloaded it to my phone. But itunes keeps trying to download it all again which is slowing my 3G down

I pre-orderd the an album last week, and downloaded it when it became available on Monday morning.
However now itunes keeps trying to download the album again which is slowing my phone down and using too much 3G.
Can anyone help?

It may be an authentication error.

It may clear up after a while. You can write to Apple but I bet it clears up before you receive a reply.

  • Have synced my iPhone numerous times and some of the memos in "Voice Memos" on my iPhone wont go over to my iTunes program on my computer. I have a folder titled "Voice Memos" on my iPhone and one of the same name on iTunes on my computer.

    I have synced my iPhone numerous times and some of the memos in "Voice Memos" on my iPhone wont go over to my iTunes program on my computer. I have a folder titled "Voice Memos" on my iPhone and one of the same name on iTunes on my computer. But after I sync I only get 6 out of the 9 voice memos on my iPhone.
    How do I get the rest (or all) of the memos from my iPhone copied to my computer?

    "I have logged in to my itunes account on a different computer and none of my purchased music is showing up."
    Correct.  it does not magially appear in other places.  It will only be where you put it.
    "I also have plugged my iphone in to get updates but it says I will lose all media and apps if I don't update on the computer where  I sync everything. "
    Correct as well.  Iphone will sync with one computer at a time.  Syncing to another will erase the current content.
    You need to copy everything ( itunes library/contacts/pics/calendars/files/docs) from the old computer, or your backup copy of the old one, to the new one.

  • 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.

  • HT1391 I deleted my ringtone from iTunes because I couldn't sync it to my iphone or play it in itunes through the iphone, and now I can't get it back.  I have the purchase receipt...but how do I get it back????? If I can't, can I get refund?

    This is ONE of the MANY reasons, I have held off on getting and iPhone.  Because the ONLY option in getting the music onto it, is by using itunes, instead of just being able to drag and drop.  This is annoying as F***.
    I paid for and downloaded a ringtone from the iTunes store.  It was working fine. Then I hoooked up my iphone to my bf's laptop, competely forgetting that it had already been synced to MINE, which is broken and toasted.  For some reason, it deleted everything off my phone, I spent 3 hours trying to figure out how the **** to get music back onto my iphone using itunes.  It's NOT a user friendly program, and being a computer savvy as I am.....I HATE USING IT. But unfortunately, I don't have a choice. So, I was able to get the two ringtones that I created with my free ringtone maker app BACK into my phone.  But go figure, the one that I actually paid for, I can't get back on.  It was in my itunes, and on my iphone...but had the exclmation mark beside it.  I have already gone to the support page and followed the instructions for retrieving it.  I have manually deleted it from my computer SINCE this discovery, by deleting it from itunes.  So....to make sure yall are understanding this...I tried tracking it down by searching my computer....and I couldn't find it, although it was still listened on BOTH my itunes on my laptop AND in my iphone.  I trued to manually delete it from the iphone....wouldn't work. So i manually deleted it from itunes.
    My question is this....
    HOW ON GODS GREEN EARTH DO I GET IT BACK!!!!????
    It's only $1.29 canadian, but man, this program is ******* me off to no end.
    It's stupid that Apple has completely restricted us.  -sighs gritting her teeth- I just want my ring tone back.  That's it.  I can't even figure out how to redownload it....or if I can even do that.
    Please someone help me.  I'm soooo frustrated.
    Thanks
    CER

    Never mind I fixed it. Just in case anyone else has this problem, after you reinstall iTunes you have to delete all your old music, and if you have iTunes match all the songs you have saved on itunes match will display and you just have to download them to your Macbook.

  • I have used the Apple Configurator to add my iPhone and AppleTV to the corporate network but some services do not work.

    Hi,
    Thanks in advance to anyone that can offer support.
    I have used the Apple Configurator to add a profile to both my iPhone 5 and AppleTV (both with latest OS) to enable them to be on our corporate network.
    I can now airplay from my Mac to the TV and my iPhone to the TV.
    The phone can access the internet fine and the AppleTV can access YouTube and Photo Stream without any issues.
    THE PROBLEM: The AppleTV cannot access the iTunes Store and the iPhone cannot get e-mail (either from Exchange server or from iCloud (or Gmail).
    Thanks again for any support in rectifying the issue.
    Tim

    Yes, it's pretty much the same with photos, you can't save them to iCloud. Again you're better using something like dropbox.
    There is a photo feature with iCloud call photo stream, however it only saves your most recent photos, 1,000 and your last 30 days.

  • Incomplete iTunes through the iPhone?

    Does anyone know if there are any plans to update the info in iTunes through the iPhone to make it more complete? I've been trying to purchase songs from particular artists and I simply can't find them.

    Apple doesn't control the artists and all albums and songs for an artist that are available via the iTunes store. This is up to those who own the distribution rights for the music.
    There are some songs I purchased via the iTunes store many years ago that are no longer available via the iTunes store for some reason.
    Have you been able to find the songs via the iTunes store with iTunes on your computer? What is available via the iTunes store on your iPhone should match.

  • HT201272 I cant download my purchased music onto my new iPhone 5. I bought almost all my music through iTunes over my phone but it wont let me download "ALL"--I have to go in individually to each album.

    I cant download my purchased music onto my new iPhone 5. I bought almost all my music through iTunes over my phone but it wont let me download "ALL"--I have to go in individually to each album. Can anyone help me figure out how to do a single "ALL" music download?
    I even tried synching from mt computer backup but it wont do it.

    You can only sync everything with your one syncing computer/iTunes library. Yu can:
    - Make this your syncing computer by:
    Syncing to a "New" Computer or replacing a "crashed" Hard Drive: Apple Support Communities
    - Use the manual method to copy music and videos from any computer/iTunes library to the iPod. See the manual method included here:

  • I have purchased an album but cannot listen to it everytime it asks me about the password any assistance

    I have purchased an album but cannot listen to it everytime it asks me about the password any assistance

    Assuming these tracks come from the iTunes store and you are in a region where you are allowed to redownload your past music purchases, delete the problem tracks from your iTunes library, don't hide from iTunes in the Cloud/iCloud if prompted, close and then reopen iTunes, go to the iTunes Store home page, click thePurchased link from the Quick Links section in the right-hand column, then select Music and Not on this computer. You should find download links for your tracks there.
    While downloading select Downloads in the left-hand column and make sure Allow Simultaneous Downloads is unticked.
    If the problem persists, or that facility is not yet available in your region, contact the iTunes Store support staff through the "Report a problem" links in your account history, or via Contact Support.

  • I have purchased an album on my iphone and only half of the songs appear on my purchases

    I have purchased an album on my iphone and only half of the songs appear on my purchases. When I click update purchases it says all purchases have been updated! This also happens to some single songs, they arent showing up on my PC purchases! But they appear on my purchased playlist on the phone! What can I do?

    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 which is revealed in the iTunes app on your iOS device by tapping the more button at the bottom of the screen.
    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.

  • I have purchased music from itunes on my iphone and it won't show up in my Ipod music library on my phone.  It shows up in my itunes library on my computer.  This is a recent glitch as up until this week purchased music downloads fine on phone.

    I purchased music on itunes on my iphone and the songs won't show up in my music library on the phone.  They are on my computer itunes library but it won't let me transfer the purchases back to my phone (which I have never had to do before).  Never had this problem before this week when purchasing music on my iphone.
    My Itunes library on my laptop is slightly different from my Iphone library so I don't want to erase and sync the entire library.

    In iTunes, try signing out of your Apple ID & then back in: click on iTunes Store on the left sidebar of iTunes, click on your Apple ID on the top right, sign out, sign back in.  Then try to sync your purchased music to your phone again.
