I keep getting a "download error. Tap to retry" error on a song i purchased. How do I fix this?

I purchased a song on my iphone and it continuously will not download. I keep getting the error message "download error. Tap to retry" over and over and over. Help?!

I found something that worked for me on an iPod Touch 4G, iOS 5.1 in a similar situation. I was trying to download a bunch of previously purchased songs, but they wouldn’t download -- i ended up with a long list of songs in the Downloads window of iTunes, all of which would give me “Download error, tap to retry” no matter how many times I tried. The trick I read on another site of pushing Retry, immediately pausing, and Retrying again didn”t work for me. But when i went to the Music app, all the new failed downloads appeared in the songs list (accessed via the Albums button at the bottom of the screen), but with little round buttons (like the stop button on a DVD player) next to them. The songs wouldn’t play, but if you push one of the buttons, the song disappears from the list and starts downloading in the Downloads window in iTunes. By doing this, I was able to quickly break the locked up queue of downloads. The problem didn’t recur on my next download.

Go to system profiler and report back the amount of RAM that you have.
Make sure that you have at least 20% of your hard drive free.
Make sure you don't have a lot of items on your desktop as that can slow things down.
Quit applications that aren't responding or you aren't using and won't be using for a while.
~/Library/Caches Quit all applications and delete this folder. Do a regular delete then do a secure erase on all the items that won't delete.
If it only happens with a certain application (Safari for example)...
1. Quit the application (Safari)
2. Open ~/Library/Preferences and find the file for safari (com.apple.Safari.plist).
3. Put the file in the trash. Do NOT empty the trash yet. Open the application and make sure everything's ok. Now you can delete the file. In Mail if you trash the file, you will get rid or your setup.
Make sure that your dashboard doesn't have too many widgets and use Activity Monitor to see what it's using.
There are ways to disable if you want to.
Make sure that all of your software is up to date.
Repair permissions (it can't hurt)
Don't have a lot of login items.
Your internet browser shouldn't have a lot of extensions.
I hope this helps

I keep getting redirected to advertising sites that I did not clicki....How do I fix this

I use the latest FF browser and yesterday when I would try to go to
a site I wanted to see, I would be redirected to an advertising site...
Usually it happens from a google search but not always....
I ran the Microsoft Security software, but it did not fix it...Do you have any suggestions

Do a malware check with some malware scanning programs on the Windows computer.<br />
You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware.<br />
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.<br /><br />

I am tryin g to update adobe bridge but I keep getting a message to turn of bridge. It is not on. how do I correct this so it can finish updateing?

I am trying to update Bridge but I keep getting a message to turn off Bridge. It is not on. How do I fix this so it can finish updateing?

In the advanced Bridge preferences, there is an option to start at login. I have never used this option, but I believe it loads part of Bridge automatically if that option is selected. I'm using Windows, and have what is called a system tray. Software such as Bridge (and others) will have an icon displayed in the system tray (lower right-hand corner of the screen). Is it possible that Bridge is loaded at least to the point that it is in the system tray?

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen. Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then take one of the actions that you're having trouble with. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.

Contact Apple Support or an Apple Store if you have one near you. Your battery needs to run through the diagnostic test. You can also try to put the device into Recovery mode as well and rsetore the iOS software, and set up the device as new. Follow this article on Recovery Mode:

I purchased a song and when downloading there was an error. No error on the other 8 songs just one and now only plays the first 5 seconds of the song. How do you fix this and do the download again so the entire song is downloaded? Thanks!

Delete the song from your library and re-download it from the Purchases section of the iTunes Store.

Error Occured Installing iOS 5.1 on my iPhone 4S, how do i fix this?

I was able to download iOS 5.1 via wifi on my iphone since March 7, but after downloading, it keeps on saying that an error occured installing iOS 5.1. How can I fix this? been trying to download it on my pc but it takes a while. the file is almost 1GB unlike ota update on my iphone, its just 183MB.

Next step in troubleshooting is a reset. You hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. The phone will restart. This will not have any affect on your data. If this doesn't help, the next step is a restore, however before I did this, I would call the carrier. Most SMS/MMS issues can be traced to the carrier. They may have to reset SMS on their end.
