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 will not download complete song on ipod

I have tried with several different ipods and it will not download complete songs. Tried putting them on one at a time or whole sections. I did all the upgrades except the safari. Please help... I have a lot of songs and very disappointed kids too!

You are in the dreaded "Authorization Loop". Here are the usual fixes - try them in this order, syncing your iPod after each one.
1. Deauthorize the PC for both accounts until it is showing zero authorizations on that PC for both accounts. Then reauthorize the PC again fr both accounts.
2. Delete the SC Info folder (not just the file) as mentioned in this article

3. Download a free single of the week and play a few seconds of it.

I can not download 19 songs that I recently downloaded it is telling me that my device is not authorized. I have had this nano for many years and never had a problem downloading songs until now. I have even went as far as to restore the nano and it still

I can not download 19 songs that I recently purchased on my laptop. I am getting the message that my Nano is not an authorized device. Even though I have had it for years and it has many songs downloaded from my laptop. I even decided to do the restore and it is still saying that the 19 songs can not be downloaded to my nano. I did recently upgrade my window's 7 version. Maybe this has created the problem.

Yes, the upgrade is the likely cause.
First you should try to deauthorize your computer/iTunes library before attempting to authorize it again. To do this, click the Store drop down menu in iTunes and choose Deauthorize this Computer. Then enter in your iTunes account credentials.
When it has finished, choose Store -> Authorize this Computer and again enter in your Apple ID account credentials.
Finally, try resyncing your Nano to see if that makes a difference.

Can I stop itunes from downloading a song I already bought

Can I stop Itunes from downloading a song I already bought or have in my library

If I would've read the whole post, I would've seen that. Sorry.
Strange though. Hope someone a li'l more helpful can find the answer you're looking for.

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.

2nd Gen Ipod will sync with itunes but will not download new song

My Ipod will sync with itunes but will not download newly purchased songs. It is Ipod nano 2nd gen.

If you want to use automatic syncing, you may need to set up or update the iPod's Music sync settings in iTunes. If the new songs are not included in what gets synced to the iPod, they will not sync.
If the sidebar (along left side of window) is hidden, from the menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar. The iPod appears in the sidebar, under DEVICES. Select it there, to show its Summary screen to the right. Toward the top, there is a bar of buttons, starting with Summary. Click on Music next to Summary. This Music screen is where you tell iTunes how to sync songs to the iPod.
Check the box for Sync Music, if not already checked. This is the "switch" to enable automatic syncing for songs.
NOTE: If Sync Music is not already checked, that means the iPod is currently set to Manually manage music. Setting up automatic syncing will replace the iPod existing content. If you want to add the new songs manually to the iPod (instead of using automatic syncing), please post back.
If your iTunes library fits on the iPod, you can choose the option to sync Entire music library. Otherwise, choose the option to sync Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres. Below that, select (checkmark) what you want to sync to the iPod from the lists.
One convenient way to set this up is to first create one or more playlists in your iTunes library, with ALL of the songs you want on the iPod. Or you can use existing playlists. Back on the iPod's Music screen in iTunes, select those playlists under Playlists.
When you click Apply, iTunes syncs the songs in your selection(s) to the iPod (replacing its existing content). Going forward, to update the iPod, you can just update those playlists in your iTunes library (add/remove songs). If you have new songs, add them to a playlist that is synced to the iPod. The iPod does not need to be connected. The next time you connect the iPod (or click Sync if already connected), iTunes automatically updates your iPod with the same changes.

How to download the same song(track) with different keys? iTunes seems to think I have already downloaded the song and will not download the song in a different key of the Demo Track

How to download the same song(track) with different keys? iTunes seems to think I have already dowloaded the song and will not let me download the song in a different key or the Demo.

Hello Jigz19,
It sounds like you are unable to play a couple of songs from your library becuase you get a message that the computer is unauthorized to play, but other content purchased that same day works without issue. I would verify that the affected songs were purchased with the same Apple ID first:
Recovering a forgotten iTunes Store account name
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1920
Open iTunes
Highlight one of the items you have purchased (You can find your purchases in your Purchases playlist).
Choose File > Get Info.
Click the Summary tab.
The Account Name area will list the account used to purchase the item. Unless you have changed accounts, this is your iTunes Store account name.
If so, then delete the songs:

Then re download them with this article:

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

What can I do if iTunes did not download the song completely but thinks it did?

I have no clue what happened, but I bought an album off iTunes and it said the download was complete, but when I try to play the songs, they cut off midstream and it won't let me re-download them. Not every song cuts off, only a select few do, but it also won't let me convert them to AAC version files.

I figured out a solution. It's a really long process, but if you want the music you paid for, it's worth it.
1. you have to delete the songs that don't play all the way through off you computer.
2. go to purchases under the store category on your side bar.
3. at the bottom right hand corner there is a thing that says download previous purchases, click on that
4. click all songs or just find the ones that didn't download correctly by artist.
5. when you find the song, if and only if you already deleted the song, it will have an arrow on the right hand side. That is what you will press in order for the song to begin redownloading. I would suggest only downloading one song at a time.
6. after the download is complete listen to the song to make sure it plays all the way through this time.
This worked for me, but ONLY if you delete the songs first. otherwise it will not let you redownload them.

You posted this on the Apple Support Communities which is people helping people and we are not Apple representatives. Your posting sounds like you wanted to commnicate an issue directly with Apple.

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?

ITunes not downloading All Purchases, though it thinks otherwise

Hello All!
I recently rebuilt my system, and am trying to rebuild my media library through the iTunes Store. I have authorized my rebuilt computer, and have used the Purchased portion of iTunes to run a "Download All" to my system.
While iTunes insists that it has downloaded all of the Music that I have purchased, there are multiple items that did not download, and show with the ubiquitous grey "!" next to the song. Using the Get Info function, iTunes shows that the link to the file is pointing to the old path, before I rebuilt the machine. When I go to
C:\Users\username\My Music\iTunes\, it does show that several of the songs HAVE downloaded, but many have not (obviously, the ones with the Grey !). So, it is hit and miss: Some of the music has downloaded to the system, while some has not. Checking the Purchases against my iPhone, it does show all of my music purchases, but some of them are just not downloading.
I cannot restart the downloads, because iTunes thinks that the files have already downloaded. Because the songs have not downloaded, I cannot manually tie the Library entry to the non-existant file. All of the purchased songs are still appearing on my iPhone.
Any suggestions or experience with this issue would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance!

I will give this a shot. I am always reluctant to nuke Library entries, since they are sort of "bookmarks" to what I should and should not have. One thing that is odd is that ALL of the songs were initially Grey !s, since I had reloaded the system from scratch. It is odd that some of them did download while others did not.
I will give this a shot this evening, and let you know! Thanks for the quick response.
P.S: Another oddity: Technically all of the items should have been backed up when I ran Windows Backup before rebuilding. Not sure why this area got nuked.

TS3297 Why won't my iTunes finish downloading the songs I bought around 6 hours ago?

Does anyone know why my iTunes would just stop downloading music randomly after downloading three songs?

You probably need to use the Microsoft Installer cleanup Utility.
Here is a method for removal, clean up and reinstall:
Download a fresh copy of iTunes and the stand alone version of Quicktime (the one without iTunes)
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/win.html
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install Microsoft Installer cleanup utility, there are instructions on the page as well as the download. Note that what you download is the installer not the program – you have to run it to install the program. The installer doesn't give any message to confirm the installation.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301/
(To run the program – All Programs>>Windows Install)
Now use the following method to remove iTunes and its components:
XP
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925
Vista
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
*If you hit a problem with one of the uninstalls don't worry*, carry on with the deleting of files and folders as directed in the method.
When you get to deleting Quicktime files in the system32 folder as advised in the method, you can delete any file or folder with Quicktime in the name.
Restart your PC.
Run the Microsoft Installer Cleanup Utility. (Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up)
Remove any references you find to the programs you removed - strictly speaking you only need to worry about those programs where the uninstall failed.
If you don’t see an entry for one of the programs that did not uninstall, look out for blank entries or numeric entries that look like version numbers e.g. 7.x for Quicktime or 1.x for Bonjour.
restart your PC
Install the stand alone Quicktime and check that it works.
If it does, install iTunes.
