TS3297 Hi, I've setup my new mini ipad today, restored a backup from icloud and all is fine. However, when I try to download my music, they almost completely download then an error message pops up saying "unable to download songs" - can anyone help pleas

Hi, I've setup my new mini ipad today, restored a backup from icloud and all is fine. However, when I try to download my music, they almost completely download then an error message pops up saying "unable to download songs" - can anyone help please?

So it appears iCloud/iTunes Match isn't the issue - the error message would seem to be complaining about where the music is being downloaded to. So with this in mind:
In iTunes select Preferences and select Advanced. The iTunes media folder should be set to /Users/<your account>/Music/iTunes/iTunes Music. <your account> would be whatever your user account is. If you see something else there I'd guessing it is a folder you don't have permission to write to.

HT1491 I'm using a prepaid credit card to make in app purchases. Every 2 days or so, I will attempt to make an in-app purchase and it will say "Unable to complete transaction at this time. Please contact iTunes Store Support."

     Like I said, I often play iOS games on my iPhone 4S in my spare time. Sometimes, if the game is good enough, I will attempt to make an IAP (In-App Purchase). Sometimes, I have no trouble with this. Other times it will say: "Unable to complete transaction at this time. Please contact ITunes Store Support. I primarily use a prepaid credit card by AMEX called Bluebird. I always make sure that I have plenty of funds available in it. For instance, tonight, it has roughly $200 stored. So I try to make an IAP for $10 and it works fine. Later I make another for $15, no trouble there either. Then I try to make a purchase on the same game for $2.99 and it gives me that error message.
     This has been happening on and off for the past 3-4 weeks only. Every few days it happens, I contact the iTunes Store Support, and sometime in the next 24-72 hours they get back to me. They then apologize for the inconvenience and fix the problem. But the main problem is that their fix seems to be only temporary. It happens irregardless of how much money I have available on my card. I've even had it happen when I had just redeemed a. $50 iTunes gift card and was trying to make a $5 purchase. It doesn't seem to matter if I've spent a little bit or a lot of money that day. It doesn't care for which game I am purchasing the IAP. TThis never happened to me before a month ago. Now it won't stop. And it is incredibly frustrating that it seems to happen for no rhyme or reason out of the blue. Then I'm stuck waiting on the support staff to get back to me for the next few hours to few days, depending on the day.
     Is this happening to anyone else? Does anyone have any ideas why this is happening? Or how can I prevent it from happening in the future. The support folks at Apple are nice, but I'm tired of emailing them every other day with the same problem. I'm sure they are quite tired of getting emails from me at the same frequency. Any assistance would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Nick
P.S. my Internet connection is working perfectly. No technical difficulties whatsoever other than the inability to make an IAP. Also, after it gives that unable to complete transaction message, I can no longer buy anything with my apple account until tech support fixes it. Any suggestions or ideas appreciated.

Thank you Brian, but I just tried that, and it didn't work, I'm still getting the same messages.

"Unable to download application at this time" error on iPad

Everytime i try to update my apps on my ipad, I get a "Unable to download application at this time" error on my ipad. How do I fix this?

I'm having the same problem since I upgraded , works fine on my iPhone 4 but not iPad and have tried everything !

Why does my iPod say "Unable to Download Application"? Other apps will download just fine and updating apps isn't an issue either, it's just this one app.

A few days ago, I tried to redownload Sims FreePlay onto my iPod. I needed more room to update it to the latest update so the app just stayed on my screen but it's as if it's waiting to download. Today, I freed up a good 2GB of space on my iPod so the app should have no problem downloading. Instead of downloading, it says "Unable to Download Application" and that it could not be installed at this time. I downloaded a new app that downloaded with zero problems and I even updated an app with no trouble at all. I've also tried to delete the app so that I could just restart the download but nothing seems to work. Please help me. My progress that's stored on the cloud is going to expire either tomorrow or Saturday.

That meassage and that you can downoad other apps indicates an Apple problem. Nothing you can do except keep trying.

Wi-Fi iTunes Store via iPod touch will not download songs onto iPod

First off, my wi-fi is working generally. I can, for instance, access the internet and the iTunes store via my iPod touch.
However, after "purchasing" music via the wi-fi iTunes store, the iPod briefly displays the animation that the music has been purchased and is sent to the downloading que, but then quickly disappears from that que with no songs downloading at all.
I am signed in properly, I have tried reseting the iPod touch completely, but to no avail.
Suggestions?

Figured it out.
After registering my iPod Touch through iTunes, I did not attempt to download any music directly through iTunes onto my computer. All attempts were through the wi-fi store on my iPod Touch. So, I downloaded The Reminder, by Feist, through my computer and it worked just fine. However, prior to downloading I was put through some legal jargon/user agreement blah blah, that I had to "agree" to to continue. Once I did that, the downloading began. Subsequently I went into the wi-fi iTunes on my iPod Touch, and successfully downloaded a song.
I can only assume that the issue was that I had to first agree to the user agreement document through iTunes on my PC before I could actually download music through the wi-fi/touch version.
Let me know if this helps out.

I am getting a message that says 'Unable to download song" . How do I get my song onto my iPod. It will not sync either.

I am trying to sync my music library on my ipod touch, 3rd gen. When I try to download songs from the cloud, it gives me an error message that the song could not be downloaded at this time. Retry.
This is completely not helpful and gives me no options for how to download, and I can't really find any suggestions for connecting the ipod to the cloud. It worked prior to the new update 0.7. I'm very frustrated!! Some songs have synced, but many have not. Especially the latest purchases.

I just figured out a solution. I connected my ipod to my computer, went to the 'info' tab on the menu for my ipod. I checked 'Sync Mail Accounts', which were greyed out until I selected them. That connected me to the Cloud and everything went back to normal. Hope this helps someone else!

Unable to download app at this time.

Hello, today I was downloading some apps but after some time I got an error showing that "Unable to download app" The app cannot be downloaded at this time. I tried retrying but no use. I tried all the methods of troubleshooting. I resetted my network settings and also all contents and settings but the error was the same. Then I tried downloading apps with my carrier network it was fine, but I can only download 100MB with the carrier nework I was able to download with carrier before the reset as well. I tried changing the date and all other Wi-Fi troubleshooting. This error just occured today. Any help would be appreciated.

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
This works for some users. Not sure why.
Go to Settings>General>Date and Time> Set Automatically>Off. Set the date ahead by about a year.Then see if you can connect to the store.

ITunes WiFi music store - Unable to Download Song

Hi, All -
When I have tried to use the iTunes wifi music store off my home network connection it will seem to download, but it won't finish. I get a window saying "Unable to Download Song. This item will be available for download when you log in to the iTunes Store on your computer." Doesn't that kind of defeat the purpose of the whole wifi store. Why can't I download to my iPod Touch for instant gratification and enjoyment? Am I doing something incorrectly? Do I need to tweak the configuration.
Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

I had this a few hours ago downloading a whole album of 14 tracks. Eventually by "tapping to retry" all of them finished downloading. Some I had to tap at least half a dozen times to finish downloading. I have previously downloaded at least a couple of dozen tracks with no problem so I think this is a problem at the store (at least the UK store) at the moment.

"Unable to download song" iPad 4

Please Help! I have purchased an iPad 4 and I set it up using iCloud, it is mostly ok but I have tried everything and I CAN NOT download any of my music or buy any from the store! I just get the message: "unable to download song at this time" Retry or Cancel, there is no explanation, or reason. I have tried it using the cloud and tried syncing with the PC , on the PC the songs are 'ghosted' and according to the iPad iTunes is Empty.
Could it be a faulty iPad?? I can download Apps, and if I download an app to the iPhone it appears on the iPad, just not any music!!! I can download as normal to my iPhone.

My issue was resolved after a couple of hours on the phone to apple support, I had to do a full re-set of the iPad and set it up as new. The only thought they had was that the original iPad seat up was somehow corrupted as it set up over icloud.

HT1267 Q I keep getting a repeat screen that says "unable to download" [name of a song] and gives me the choice to "try again" or "done". I don't want the song and can't get rid of the screen. Ideas?

I keep getting a screen that says "Unable to Download" [song] with two choices - "done" or "try again". I have tried both and can't get rid of the screen ( and don't want the song which I never ordered to begin with. Ideas on getting rid of the screen??

I do backup with iCloud. I can't wait until the new iMac is available so that I can once again have my files in more than 1 location without needing to rely solely on the cloud.
I also rely on iTunes and my MacBook and Time Machine as well as backing up to iCloud. I know many users know have gone totally PC free, but I chose to use iCloud merely as my third backup.
I assume that the restore would result in my ability to open Pages and Numbers and fix the problem with deleting apps, but this would also mean that if my Numbers documents still exist solely within the app and are just not on iCloud for some reason that they would be gone forever. Is that right?
In a word, yes. In a little more detail.... When you restore from an iCloud backup, you must erase the device and start all over again. There is no other way to access the backup in iCloud without erasing the device. Consequently, you are starting all over again. Therefore, it would also be my assumption that Pages and Numbers will work again and that the deleting apps issues would be fixed as well.
If the documents are not in the backup, and you do not have a backup elsewhere, the documents could be gone forever.
