ITunes 7 not downloading album only material

I just purchased an album, and the digital booklet and one of the songs--the "album only" items--hung in the download. I clicked on the "Downloads" link, and the window said that it had downloaded the full MB but it said it was still "processsing."
After this had gone on several minutes, I decided to close iTunes. I got a dialog box that basically said I would be prompted to continue downloading when I reopened iTunes. However, when I reopened iTunes, no such thing happened. Now I have no way to retrieve this material. Help!!

Your welcome, just remeber if a download doesn't finish for whatever reason ( PC crashed, rebooted, lost electic to your house, Internet connection went down, Dog chewed the DSL line in half ect ect ect) just goto store>Check for purchases to start it up again.
Alot of people had this issue this summer where they was online downloading and those "Supraise" thunderstorms popped up and knocked out power for a min or 2

ITunes not downloading album artwork

I recently bought 3 cd's and imported them into iTunes. Whenever I try to right click on the album and get it's artwork it does nothing. The albums are "Way to Normal" by Ben Folds, "Elephants...Teeth Sinking Into Heart" by Rachael Yamagata and "The Glass Passenger" by Jack's Mannequin. All three albums are in the US iTunes store so that shouldn't be the problem. Is anyone else experiencing the same problem? And yes, I know I can drag the picture in from somewhere else but I don't like that it takes up space on my harddrive. Anyone have any suggestions?

There certainly are mysteries involved in iTunes looking up artwork on the Store.
Is it possible that iTunes can't find the artwork, but you've turned off that warning message? If so, you can turn it back on (and all the other ones, unfortunately).
iTunes Preferences, Advanced panel, Reset all dialog warnings.
Then at least you might get something more illuminating than stony silence
Good luck!
BTW -- artwork takes up hard disk space whether it's downloaded by iTunes or pasted in from somewhere else. Pasting from somewhere else takes a bit more space, since the artwork is copied into every song file rather than just kept once in the Library file. Even so, it's a fraction of 1% of the total space.

Why won't the movie I purchased on itunes not download to my ipod?

why won't the movie I purchased on itunes not download to my classic ipod. In ipod's summary, I checked "all" under sync for movies. I have the classic 160 gig ipod and have plenty of space. I unchecked "HD" and chose the 720 resolution. What next?

HI moveandshaker,
try to open itunes then drag the movies to your device.

IPhone album art from iTunes not downloading

Recently, I have not been able to get my album art from iTunes to download to my phone. It appears in my iTunes on my computer, but will not transfer. It also will not appear on my phone when I purchase the music FROM my phone, but appears in my computer's iTunes. I've reset my phone, but the problem continues. This problem has only been happening for about the last two months and I've had my phone over a year. (iPhone 4, Verizon)

the album covers are fine on itunes on my computer, but on my iphone they don't work. as in, when I sync my iphone to itunes, it switches the covers around to different covers. it seems to be random.

TS1389 Re-Downloading Album Only Songs

I had trouble playing certain songs I downloaded when I downloaded a complete album because iTunes repeatedly said that my computer was not authorized. So, I redownloaded all the tracks that wouldn't play for free but am unable to for the album only tracks. Is there a way to do this?

I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the items that are not redownloading. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.

ITunes cannot download album artwork

I am using iTunes 7.5 on Windows XP, and have imported my music from my CD collection using iTunes. While iTunes is able to detect the album, artist, and song titles and download that information from the Internet, it does not do so automatically. (The option is set to automatically check in Preferences, but the information is still not retrieved unless 'Get CD Track Names' is selected from the menu.) The iTunes Store does not appear in the 'store pane' at the bottom of every window, and is only accessible through the 'iTunes Store' option on the left.
In iTunes, when 'Get Album Artwork' is selected from the menu, the following message appears after processing all of the albums: *"Could not get artwork for some albums."* When the "##+(total number of albums)+ notifications" is expanded, the following error is shown for every album in the library: *"Artwork for "+(Artist Name - Album Name)+" could not be found. An unknown error occurred. (-609)"* This happens even when the option is selected from the menu manually, and CD track names can still be downloaded. This problem only occurs on a certain computer; another computer running iTunes 7.5 on the same network works fine without any of the problems mentioned.
I noticed that several other users had posted similar questions a few months ago in other forums, but none of them had found a solution. Has anyone else experienced this problem, and are there any known ways to correct it?

I think that the iTunes database in your Windows user profile might be corrupted. I managed to solve the problem by creating a new database and reimporting my songs into the library. The album art downloaded automatically after that.
1) Check the Automatically download missing album artwork is selected on the General tab in iTunes preferences
2) Close iTunes
3) Rename the iTunes folder (usually found in +My Music+)
4) Reopen iTunes (this creates a new iTunes folder in +My Music+)
5) Copy and paste the contents of your music folders (+iTunes Music+ folder) into the newly created +iTunes Music+ folder
6) Reopen iTunes and select File > Add Folder to Library > Browse to your iTunes folder in +My Music+ > OK
Your music will then be imported into the new iTunes database and the album art should be downloaded automatically.

Album artwork does not download, album artwork does not download

i have windows 7 album artwork does not download even new stuff what could be happening?

It's possible your album artwork isn't there and cannot be obtained as this album no longer appears to be offered for purchase by itunes. Unless I'm overlooking it, when I go to the itunes store and enter "Santana", "Carlos Santana", or "Food For Thought", nothing comes up. I'm thinking if this is an album no longer for sale through itunes, then you won't be able to get that album artwork the way previously have. Unfortunately, I'm not saavy enough to know if it's possible to get the album artwork via another means. But maybe someone else reading this post is.

Error 502, PayPal & iTunes Not Downloading Music

I'm having problems downloading music from my Shopping Cart. A couple of days ago, when I pressed the 'Buy Now' button, I received a 502 (unknown) error. iTunes did not download any music so I tried again...then again...and again. Still nothing! I was concerned but figured it was a temporary problem. Later, I checked my email and was astonished to find several PayPal receipts for my purchases at the iTunes store!! What a mess! Apparently when I pressed the 'Buy Now' button I was actually purchasing the songs even though I was never able to download them! I contacted Support and they kindly refunded everything (which totalled over $50) without an explanation as to what happened or what error 502 was! Tonight I tried again (thinking it was just a fluke) and received a 'Credit card orders cannot be processed now...' error. Not sure what's going on. I never had this problem before. I hope they correct this soon. I'm using iTunes 6.0.1 and Windows XP Pro.

hmmm. itunes will only automatically convert unprotected .wma files:
Importing Windows Media Audio files with iTunes for Windows
so first check through some of those files that didn't convert. are they protected, or unprotected?

Songs on Itunes that say "Album Only"

When a song says "Album Only" next to it instead of "Buy Song," does that mean that you have to purchase the entire album on Itunes OR does it mean you have to purchase the album in stores to get those particular songs?
To be specific, I am referring to Jordin Sparks' album. There are three songs that you can't buy individually because they say "Album Only." So I looked on bestbuy.com and those songs aren't on the CD that they are selling on there. So is it just through Itunes that I can get those three extra songs, when I buy the entire album?
Thanks for your help.

does that mean that you have to purchase the entire album on Itunes
It means you need to purchase the whole album via iTunes to get that specific song.
It may or may not be on the actual CD in the stores.

ITunes not finding album artwork

I'm getting a bit sick of this - why does iTunes not find any album artwork any more, yet it recognises the album & finds all the tracks? This seems to be a constant problem on this forum - anyone have any ideas...? I have iTunes 11 & a desktop intel Mac, OS X 10.7.

I wouldn't be in a hurry to upgrade to 8.2.
Make sure that the *Album Artist* and Artist of your album matches up with what's in the iTunes Store EXCEPT if the artist has an ampersand (&) in it. Then put in everything up until the space before the ampersand. (You're free to edit the info after you've gotten the correctly downloaded artwork.) In some cases you may not get the correct artwork no matter how you match the data.

ITunes not Finding Album Art (Which Does Exist)

For reasons that I have been unable to ascertain, iTunes cannot find album art for some albums that I have ripped. The art does exist on iTunes--I've done a search and checked. The song text matches; the album title appears to match; but iTunes politely informs me "Artwork could not be found."
This is not due to the fact that these are songs I have ripped myself; iTunes has found plenty of other album art for tunes I've ripped myself. Something else is going on. A couple of examples for folks to chew on:
Godzilla - Blue Öyster Cult - Don't Fear The Reaper: The Best Of Blue Öyster Cult
Mirror In The Bathroom - The English Beat - Beat This! The Best of the English Beat
Freeze-Frame - J. Geils Band - Freeze Frame
The Healer - John Lee Hooker - The Healer
There are plenty of others; that's just a sample. Any advice would be appreciated.

Hello,
so there's no way of adding new covers to iTunes by drag and drop to the left bottom box??? I have to add the cover with +I only?
I've tried yesterday to add the covers with a simlpe drag and drop into the useful bottom-left box.... It didn't work... C'mon Apple!
It kinda *****...
PS: Adding covers via the new "import cover from apple store" fonction doesn't work as well. Youth bugs I presume

ITunes not downloading my song?

Trying to download a song on my iPad, but it stopped. I tried to resume the download and it says "processing..." For like half a second, then a pop up comes up and says "Unable to Download Song, 'Only For You (feat. Rachel K Collier)' could not be downloaded at this time."
Every time I retry the same thing happens. It's been an hour. I have an internet connection (obviously) and enough space, and I can download other songs. Is there a fix for this?

Hi there Oathkeeper585,
You may want to try force closing all open apps and resetting the device as an initial troubleshooting step. Take a look at the articles below for more information.

ITunes 11 downloaded album art disappeared from first song of many albums

In iTunes 11. the downloaded album artwork disappeared from the first song of many of my albums.
This just randomly happened; it wasn't after an upgrade or any other noticeable event.
The artwork is still associated with all the subsequent songs of the album, just not with the first one.
I do not want to embed the artwork into the music files.
Nor do I want to "Clear Downloaded Artwork" and redo "Get Album Artwork" for the affected albums, since some of the albums are no longer in the iTunes Store, so I won't be able to download their artwork anymore.
The best that I can think of is to:
1) remove the song that is missing the artwork from itunes without deleting the file from the hard drive
2) in iTunes, copy another song from the same album
3) delete the newly copied song from the hard drive without removing it from iTunes
4) in iTunes, "Get Info" on the newly copied song, which will tell me that it can't be found, and give me the option to "Locate" the file
5) "locate" the file by selecting from the hard drive the file for the song that was mising its artwork, and that was removed from iTunes in step 1
Unfortunately, this will remove the song's rating, play counts, etc., remove it from any playlists, and change the date added, etc.
Does anyone have a better solution?
Thanks.

Oh ok. I have just set it to automatically pull cover art but I might try doing each track as you suggested. I just assumed this would be automatic for every track not just the first one.
