Itunes crashed before songs downloaded

I just attemped to purchase an album but itunes crashed before my songs were downloaded. I was using a gift card and the amount of the total album was deducted from my card but I only one song from the album successfully downloaded to my itunes library.
Does anyone know how to deal with this situation? I'm feeling a little frusterated.
Thanks!

Select 'Check for Purchases...' in the Advanced menu in the menubar.
If your downloads were not completed, they should resume.
Hope this helps.

How come itunes match takes up so much space on an iphone even before you download any songs? I noticed my storage space went down about 1gb after enabling itunes match before I downloaded anything.

A couple things about itunes match. First, why does it take up so much space before you download any songs when you enable it on an iphone? Also, why does it not give back that space when you disable itunes match? It would also be very appreciated if Apple would add a confirmation check to itunes match in settings when you disable it - the same way they do when you enable it. More then once I have disabled itunes match when I meant to disable show all music, and it is a pain to wait for itunes match to go through the whole process of enabling itself again.

It is not a bug. However you may leave your polite feedback for Apple at this page: http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html

HT204406 Does iTunes match have to look for all music on my computer and send that data to and from Apple every time I open iTunes? This frequently makes iTunes crash before I even get to listen to one song. Installing the latest version of iTunes does no

Does iTunes have to check all my music for match every time I open iTunes even when nothing has changed in the music folder? This is just one problem I have with iTunes and match. Every time I open iTunes, the first thing happening is iTunes checking my music and sending the information to Apple and then waiting for Apple to send back information about match. There is a third step that I have never seen iTunes actually reach as it always crashes before finishing this ritual with my music and match. Since I paid for match I can no longer use iTunes to listen to any of my music. I like having match function on my iPhone because even 128 GB is not enough space to keep a music library and everything else needed on the iPhone. But it's been a disaster with iTunes on my Windows 7 PC. I updated iTunes recently and the same problem continues. I can't find any clear description of how match works but it seems if there has been no change to the music folder then the tedious and buggy process of checking all music for match and sending data back and forth to Apple every time iTunes is used should not be necessary. Is there possibly something I have to change settings for to help iTunes start without so much to do?

If your library was working on your computer and then popped up empty all of a sudden then this might be what you need...
Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
When you get it all working make a backup!

HT1491 Bought and downloanded an album, but the last three songs did not load correctly and when i play them on my ipod they turn off before the end of the song. Itunes says all songs downloaded. How can this be fixed?

Bought and downloaded an album from Itunes. Now when I play it on my Ipod the last three songs are cut short. Itunes says all songs are downloaded, no incomplete downloads. How can this be fixed?

Itunes crashes when processing download

Itunes crashes literally after every single download i buy. it will download fine but when i tries to process, itunes crashes instantly and i lose my download,my money, and my patience with this program. I have emailed the support and I ask here also: all I want is either a fix or my money back. this wouldn't be such a bother to 9/10 itunes windows users if when we bought content it would be added to our account and we could download the content again without buying it again like say Steam, Audible, Napster, and the countless other downloadable content programs/sites.

Yep, those "are" the ones I "was" getting also. I say "was" because for some unusual spite of luck, it has not done it since. I was able to use the store last night, purchased 11 songs without one issue.
I play games and use monitoring software ((MSI afterburner 1.6) to watch my temps and control fans speeds. This was not running at the time during my downloads. It was running during my spat with iTunes crashing on purchases, just throwing ideas out there.
I did come out of a game (Crysis Warhead) earlier that day prior to running iTunes.
IDK, Yesterday, after I had contacted support about my failed downloads,I get home from work, turned on my rig, fire up iTunes and sure enough, I have downloads. From that point, all has been normal "so far".
Programs running at time of crash
Kaspersky 2010
MSi afterburner
Crysis Warhead (disc in drive) but not running

My itune crash whenever it download podcast after upgrade to 11.3.1.2, I was it Win 7

After upgrade to 11.3.1.2, my itune crash whenever I try to download podcast. I am now in Win 7, the itune and those podcasts has been here for a long time. (not newly add)

I think I have found a "fix" to the problem on Win7.
My problem was : When I refresh my podcast in Itunes 11.3.1.2 on Windows 7, Itunes crashed.
I try many different things in order to "fix" the crash, but I think the key thing is renaming or deleting this folder
C:\Users\<User>\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes
to something else like
C:\Users\<User>\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunesBak
From what I observe this affected how Itunes's UI was displayed and not much else, but I would strongly suggest to backup your stuff before doing this.
Others steps I did thay may have helped address the issue is uninstalling Itunes and reinstalling it. Renaming the Itunes folder in the music folder
ex: C:\Users\<User>\Music\iTunes to C:\Users\<User>\Music\iTunesBak
and then copying
iTunes Library.itl
iTunes Music Library.xml
from the "ItunesBak" folder to the "Itunes" folder. NOTE!! All my mp3 files are in a specific folder on my drivem if you are using the default settings don't forget to copy your media library.
Good luck!

I purchased an album on iTunes and all songs downloaded, but one song is not associated with my Apple ID (I can't play it).

I bought an album from iTunes. All of the songs play except one. When I double click on it, a message comes up saying this computer is not authorized to play it, asking me if I want to authorize the computer. Yet when I log in with my ID, the response is that the computer is already authorized. Then it skips to the next song. I have updated iTunes through software update and am using 11.0.4 (4). I have tried to reboot the computer but the situation stays the same.
I also deleted the file from iTunes to try re-downloading it. The song appears in my list of purchased songs, but when I try to download it again, I get an error message that says "This computer is already associated with an Apple ID. If you download past purchases with your Apple ID, you cannot auto download or download past purchases with a different Apple ID for 90 days." My options at this point are a "Transfer" button or a "Cancel" button. Transfer what? What is it talking about?? I purchased and downloaded the complete album at once, obviously with the same Apple ID---the ONLY Apple ID I have ever had and the ONLY Apple ID ever used on this computer! How is one song mysteriously associated with a different account? What is the point of purchasing music legally if it doesn't work? Can anyone help me get this song to play in iTunes? The other strange thing is that it plays just fine in finder.
Any suggestions would be appreciated!

If only one track on the album is throwing that message, that suggests the track is damaged.
If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copy of the track and try redownloading a fresh one. See the following document for instructions:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Otherwise, 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 item that is not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the item, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.

ITunes crashed after I download a tv episode in iTunes 6

I went and downloaded an episode of "Lost" on iTunes and had iTunes crash as the file was finishing its download. Now when I go into iTunes that video is not being displayed under the video tab, as if I had never purchased it. When iTunes crashed, it gave me some kind of error about "the memory could not be read". Has anyone else had this problem. How do I go about getting tha video that I lost, other then re-downloading it. Thanks. I'm using a PC with Windows XP sp2.

Did you rent or buy? After you download a rented video you have 30 days to start viewing it. Once you start viewing a rented video, even for just a few seconds, you only have 24 hours to complete viewing it, then it will vanish.
Try a reset. Press & hold the Power and Home buttons together for 10+ seconds, ignoring the red power-off slider, until you see the Apple logo. It is safe to do, there should be no content loss. It is the same as rebooting your computer.

HT1725 My downloads on itunes show the songs downloaded however when you play them that is not the case. The download was not completed unsucessfully. What can I do?

My recently purchased songs indicate the download was completed, however that is not the case. When you try to play the song it does not work. Any ideas to fix the problem?

Hello,
Here's how I got my songs to play correctly:
1) Delete the songs that aren't playing from your iTunes library.
2) Download the songs again from the iTunes Store for
free. For information about downloading past purchases, see:

ITunes crashes when songs are played.

I've been without iTunes on my work computer for some time, and I miss it dearly. I tried again, hoping maybe a new version was out that would fix the problem. Anyway, here's what's going on and what I've done so far.
When I start iTunes it opens normally and I can move around playlists and such easily. When I go to play music, it plays for maybe ten seconds before coming up with the 'iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close' message and crashes the program. Looking through the threads the most common solutions have not helped.
- There's no Norton or other software firewall program running.
- I've installed the standalone version of Quicktime.
- I can run quicktime by itself just fine.
- I've done MSCONFIG and unselected everything except the two for iTunes.
Any other ideas on what could be wrong?

gaaaah. i've seen that before once or twice with a pref files problem. (for some reason, itunes can't generate one or the other of them, which can produce similar symptoms to having a damaged preferences file.)
okay, let's try enlisting some additional technical help.
we'll get a crash log from itunes, and send it to so someone who can interpret crash logs.
Typically, you'll need to configure Dr. Watson on your PC in order to generate crash logs. Windows start menu -> Run. Type in "cmd". Hit return. At the prompt in the command line window that comes up, type in
drwtsn32 -i
And hit return.
This will create crash logs in Documents And Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\Dr Watson\. There'll usually be a file in here called "drwtsn32.log"
prior to collecting the itunes crash log, delete any existing crash logs in there. (we want to make sure we send the correct crash log.)
generate the crash, collect the crash log, and send it to this email address
in the email:
(1) state the precise version number of itunes that you're using. (go into your "Help > About iTunes" to doublecheck.)
(2) include the URL to this thread so that the person who gets the email has some context, but also give as much information about the context of the crashing as you can.

ITunes crashes on song load

Last week, I checked the option for iTunes to organize my music library. Since then, iTunes has crashed almost every time I try to start a song. It sometimes takes two or three tries before iTunes will finally play a whole song, after which I'm usually good for the rest of the day.
I've read that I can just create a new library, but doesn't this delete my song count and song data (like when a song was added)?

Have you tried the following?:
- Close the frozen itunes using task manager
- In task manager go to the 'process' tab
- Find and select 'APSDaemon.exe' (there were 2 of them running for me).
- Click 'end process' then close the task manager
- Re-open iTunes.

ITunes match corrupt song downloads

Hi, I am not sure if anyone has noticed anything similar but like many I have recently used iTunes match to clean up my library and consolidate my songs ripped from CD's and/or downloaded from Amazon/Play.com etc into similar quality. In doing so I had about a 75% match rate and for these tracks I decided to download the higher bit rate versions from iTunes. While all appeared to download fine, many of the files appear to be corrupted in that they seem to stop half way through the song.
Now to fix this I have deleted the local file an re-downloaded a new copy (sometimes having to follow this process twice and even three times to get a working version). The only evidence that there seems to be something not right with the file is the file size is smaller but with having no basis for comparison the only way I have found to check the songs is buy playing through each one and skipping to the end of the track to see if there is anything there.
Has anyone else found a similar issue and if so, any easier way of scanning for corrupt song files? So far I have scanned 600 'matched' songs and found 30 errors. One CD which had almost half the songs with errors was Billy Idol's Charmed Life if anyone else has it and may want to check.

I would try one other test -- assuming you still have the original files, delete those 30 problematic files from iCloud, then import your original source files into the new library and then re-do the matching / delete local / download process again. In other words, now you're testing the entire process from start to finish with this new library, just to see the results. My guess is that you'll have the same problem, but at least this eliminates the library itself as a factor.
And assuming it's still a problem, then I'm not sure. I always figured that once the songs were Matched, they should be pristine at least on their end. but it's actually possible that these 30 tracks are in fact corrupt on the iTunes server end. I wish I had these songs to test, just to give you a 2nd tester to confirm if I saw the same issues. Other than that, if you had a different system or a different location you can test, you could at least eliminate hardware / OS as a factor.
And @carlton -- yeah, it was just a bad day yesterday. Going over the TOS I see what happened and how things were perceived. I just wish there was a way to give Apple more active feedback other than the feedback URL or chatting with an L1 rep. Hopefully they are reading this board and making notes.

Itunes crashes before it can open

Hi,
Dell Dimension with Windows Vista
I just upgraded Itunes and I try to open it and it says a problem has caused Itunes to stop working and no solution can be found. I have uninstalled and reinstalled it numerous times now with no luck. Also when I start my computer the Itunes helper module crashes just as it's starting up and any attempt to get it working again fail. Any help anyone could give would be greatly appreciated.
Please Help!!!

I'm having a very similar problem. A night or two ago I did a system update and since then I can't get Safari, iTunes or my Word to open. I don't know if there are any other applications affected, I don't really care, these are the ones I use practically everyday.
I did try to look at my activity monitor too since the spinning beachball and Safari closing on me was a common thing, and I did look at the inactive processes, and I did try to quit some of the processes that were under my name, since I could not log into the root user. So I probably messed something up there, but anyway...
I tried to restart, unplug the AC/remove the battery and hold power for 5 seconds, do the entire create a new account thing, delete the com.apple.safari.plist and no success. I also tried to do the repair permissions thing and it says "Repairing permissions for "Macintosh HD" Error: No valid packages Permissions repair complete.
Another weird thing is that the clock and airport icons are gone again from my bar. I had to put them back yesterday.
I know I will probably have to reinstall everything, I tried to do that, but I lost my discs in my move, so I know I will probably have to drive 3 hours to take it to a genius to fix, but I was hoping someone would have some clue or insite as to what I can do to try and fix this situation. I love my mac and my boyfriend is getting one this weekend (converted him from PC), so I don't want him to think they are bad at all!! Thanks.

Itunes crashes before loading

I'm using Windows XP and every time I try to load itunes I get the "itunes has encountered a problem and needs to close" error message. I have uninstalled it and reinstalled it about 10 times, I've tried older versions of itunes and I've updated quicktime but nothing works. Does anyone have any ideas? I have a brand new ipod thats being used as a paperweight.
