ITunes download error  "could not be downloaded at this time"

While downloading a song from iTunes on my iPhone 4S I got an error message that says "could not be downloaded at this time". I have powering down the phone and restarting the download. How do I get the songs to download?

Hello Bdev15,
I would be concerned too if the songs I purchased from iTunes were not downloading to my iPhone. You have taken some great troubleshooting steps already, and thank you for providing the details of the steps you too.  I have a few additional suggestions to get it downloaded to your iPhone.
First, I recommend checking to see if the download was interrupted:
If your download was interrupted using your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
From the Home screen, tap the iTunes app.
For iPhone or iPod touch, tap More > Downloads. For iPad, tap Downloads.
Enter your account name and password if prompted.
Tap the blue download arrow to resume.

If the songs still do not download, next I recommend downloading the songs when connected to another network.  For example, if you are using the cellular network, you could switch to Wi-Fi, or you could try an alternate Wi-Fi network.  Follow the steps in the section titled "iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch > Music" in the article below to download the songs:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

If you are still not able to download the songs, you can report an issue with these purchases using the steps in this article:

    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.

    It is possible that anti-virus software is corrupting downloaded files or is interfering otherwise.
    Try to disable the real-time (live) scanning of files in your anti-virus software temporarily to see if that makes downloading work.
    See:
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Unable_to_save_or_download_files
    You can try to set the browser.download.manager.scanWhenDone pref on the <b>about:config</b> page to false.

  • Getting error The user could not be registered at this time due to an internal error in R11

    We created new Organization (that had alpha numeric value e.g.  7777A) using Customer Online to be used in iStore i11 version. 
    The user account and password was also created for the organization.  When we tried to login to istore the first time the registration screen (jtftmplh.jsp) was displayed.  After filling the needed information and submitting we get the error:
    "The user could not be registered at this time due to an internal error Please contact the system administrator if this problem persists.
    Note to System Administrators: View source for more information about this error."
    But if we created new Organization with numbers only  e.g. 7777  we don't have the issue. Yet we already have large number of organization with alpha numeric and they work fine. (believe they were pragmatically loaded).
    The profiles "HZ: Generate Party Number" and "HZ: Generate Party Site Number" are set to Yes.

    The error message is not helpful and not clear of the error. How can we register users with alpha-numeric value (if that is the issue?).
    Thanks for your assistance.

    Been like this for a couple of days.  Is this something that happens from time to time?

  • TS1702 "App could not be purchased at this time" error

    Since upgrading to iOS7 every other app I try to install (free or paid) on my iPad 3 I get the "App could not be purchased at this time" box. After that the app store shows a the circling progress indicator rotating indefinitely below the app, and I can't click to try to install again.
    The only way to get around to try installing the app again is to shut down and restart the iPad.
    This has been happening since the release of iOS7 more than a month ago.
    It's unlikely to be a network problem since it happened on various locations. The fact that I can't try to install again appears to be a bug to me.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks,
    Flavio.

    Same issue here.
    I have emoji installed too, but i found out that the most simple/fastest way of getting arround this issue is:
    - open app-store
    - buy app
    - type in password
    - get error (spinning)
    - double tap - home button
    - close/quit app-store-app (swipe up)
    - open app-store again
    - buy again (says already bought)
    - app installs
    pretty annoying indeed. Restart is not nessasary, as its the same as force-quitting the app-store-app.

  • I cannot BUY any iPhoto products. Every time I try to submit something, I get an error message - A coonection could not be established at this time - I have been trying to buy a photo book for 2 days now with no success. I am using iPhoto 09

    I cannot Buy any products from my iPhoto 09. Every time I try to submit something, I get an error message - A connection could not be established at this time. There is nothing wrong at all with our internet connection, and I have been through all the suggestions on the Apple help page, and spent 2 hours on the phone this morning getting passed round various call centres. They claimed they had not heard of this problem before. I successfully purchased a calendar in Dec with no problems at all - so I just don't understand!

    Before ordering your book preview it using this method - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1040 - and save the resulting PDF for reference - the delivered book will match it.
    then boot into safe mode and try again

  • "This task could not be updated at this time" Error in Outlook 2010 on Workflow Form

    Hi,
    I have setup a workflow to send task notifications to users and am getting an error when attempting to act on the InfoPath based workflow task form that appears in Outlook 2010 when clicking on the "Edit this task" button.  After clicking Approve, the
    form disappears, but after a few seconds a dialog box appears that says:
    "This task could not be updated at this time"
    The funny thing is that the task actually does get updated, but there is often a delay in doing so.  Does this warning appear because the server has a backup of workflow items to deal with?  I saw that in 2007 it meant something wasn't properly
    installed with InfoPath, but I am not sure if that is the case here or not.  Any guidance would be appreciated.
    I am using Office 2010 and SharePoint Server 2010.

    I have the same issue. If I had to guess it's because the workflow in question goes stale and has to recompile, thus it times out on the client even thou it gets submitted to the server so it eventually processes.
    Now either they need a longer time out fix, or we need some way to keep the workflow actively in memory somehow on our end for it to not do it. Preferably the longer timeout method would be best to save on ram, but I bet in bigger environments or workflows
    that get used often this won't be the issue.
    You can pretty much reproduce this if you have 2 tasks from the same workflow, the first one will give the error. then after that if you wait a minute for the workflow to get going, then close your 2nd task, it will be instant. So it's something with the
    way it's getting garbage collected and having to recompile that's causing this delay with the client and a timeout just needs extended or something to give the server a chance to finish loading up the workflow.
    Also there is a good article explaining reasons and solutions:

  • U401 touch windows 8 audio driver unable to install error could not find divice for this driver

    u401 touch windows 8  audio driver unable to 0wau05w8.exe install error could not find device for this driver
    kindly advise

    hi karthi2lenovo,
    Welcome to the Forums.
    If the conexant audio drivers from the lenovo website doesn't detect the device, can you try to:
    1. Open Device Manager (press Winkey+R > type devmgmt.msc)
    2. On the device manager, open Sound, video, and game controllers and Other Devices then check the status (if there's a yellow exclamation mark, error codes, etc.)
    3. As an alternative, try this conexant driver from station-drivers:
    Conexant High Definition Smart Audio
    Version 8.64.59.52 (Win8)

  • Unable to purchase A little Party Never Killed Anyone(All we got) could not be purchased at this time try again later

    Any idea  if this was generated by virus or malware....I never tried downloading anything like what msg says.

    I have no idea where you're seeing this message, but one possibility is that someone else has access to your Apple ID and is trying to purchase that item. If nobody else is supposed to have access to your Apple ID, it may have been hacked. See:

    This sorted it for me:
    Backup your iPhone to iCloud (I believe backing up to iTunes will work too). Now go to "Settings --> General --> Reset --> Erase All Content and Settings" to completely restore your iPhone to factory settings. Assuming you've backed up to iCloud, you'll be asked when setting up your iPhone if you want to restore from an iCloud backup. Choose that option and once your iPhone has restored itself from your backup, this annoying problem will finally be gone! (was for me anyway).
    To restore from an iTunes backup, connect your iPhone to your computer, load iTunes. Click the File menu and select Devices > Restore from Back up.

  • "A connection could not be established at this time."  Book Ordering Issue

    Since upgrading to Snow Leopard I have not been able to Buy a Book via Aperture. Whenever I click on the Buy Book Button I get the following error message:
    "A connection could not be established at this time. Please ensure your network connection is active and try again." The network connection is fine etc etc.
    I tried creating a new user account but this did not solve the problem. I have opened iphoto and the same problem exists there. Apple help desk want to charge me £180 to fix a problem which will allow me to spend more money ordering books with them. Any ideas how I can fix this?

    Apparently there's some extensive maintenance taking place which affects the ordering segment - I'm running into the same issue. I'm guessing it might be back up later this evening. Will try then.
