ITunes pause download seems suddenly broken
Today I experienced something odd. I had downloads paused in iTunes as my disk is rather full and I was cleaning it up and had done so. Lots of room. For some reason my downloads decided to spontaneously unpause. I got several password challenges, all of which I answered correctly before iTunes finally accepted my password. I got several download failures mumbling that perhaps my network is down which of course it is not (witness this communication). I hit pause all after clearing the dialogs of said seemingly bogus failures and nothing happened. I paused each dialog one by one. I kept getting another download failure and then all dialogs were not paused. Rinse. Lather. Repeat. What the heck?
I am having a similar problem. I purchased an iTunes Essential package but only half of the songs downloaded. I have the 34 iTunes songs are available for download in the download file but nothing happens when I click on the button, no error message, no nothing.
I have been in touch with Apple and have gotten their perfunctory responses all of which indicate that I have the problem not them. I asked for a refund for the songs purchased and billed but not received, but no response to that age old customer service solution.
The last fix from them was to backup my iTunes files uninstall iTunes and then reinstall it. If that doesn't work they offered to provide me with a phone number for a customer service call that I might have to pay for!! I have decided not to uninstall and reinstall the software. I'm madder than **** and I will continue to send them problem message after problem message for as long as it takes to get them to refund my money.

HT1577 my itunes movie downloads are suddenly taking hours...movies from other sites quick
Hi, I have been using itunes to buy / rent movies for 12 months, normal download times. NOT my server as download movies from other sites and they are quick. Average 700 MB will take about 10 minutes, now anything from itunes is taking 4 to 5 hours, for same MB movie ? Why?
I hope Apple realizes this (I am sure they do) I just don't want Apple to be like Microsoft, and not deliver on their promises. One of the reason why I switched, was 1) because Apple chose to base their OS on a Unix based distro, and 2) They actually innovate, instead of saying they do.
Apple just needs to open up that big data center they purchased, and get some real fast pipes to the net to make these downloads scream across the net. What is the status of that data center? The last news I have heard, is that they purchased it. Has anything been done with it yet?
Best of luck to other folks who are downloading movies. Apple must fix the speed. People are really going to be ticked.
Best Regards,

I downloaded and paid for an app on my ipad, how can I get it free on my iphone without using itunes as my laytop is broken. I cannot seem to find the purchase tab in app store? I am logged in using the same ID
First, the app must be universal...designed for both iPhone/iPad:
Tap App Store.
Make sure you're signed in with the same Apple ID used for the original purchase.
Tap Updates.
Tap Purchased on the resulting screen.
Locate the app in your Purchased tab.
Tap the download icon.
The app will begin downloading and you'll be taken back to your home screen. -

Diagnostics are similar on my sisters computer (different network cards and ip addresses, of course) and I can download on hers fine. For some reason Itunes doesnt like to pick up on what ive purchased through itunes when I move it ot this computer, but Im fine with that because at least i get to listen and watch. -
when I plug my iPhone in to my computer, iTunes doesn't recognize it as a device. I have deleted and re-downloaded iTunes twice which seems to fix the problem temporarily but then the next time I plug my phone in, the device is not recognized.
What happens if you go to iTunes > File > Devices, do you get the option to Sync iPhone?
You could try a reinstall of iTunes. OS X Yosemite: Reinstall apps that came with your Mac -

I have updated my iphone 5 with IOS7. Now there is an update 7.0.2 on my cell and the size of update file is showing around 21.0 MB. I tried to update it ITunes but it seems it is downloading the entire IOS. Is there any separate update for the same or I have to download the entire IOS again?
Well when you download the update with iTunes it will always download the whole new version (in your case 7.0.2) even if its just an bug fix. If you already have 7.0 download the update over-the-air.
You already wrote that the update is only 21 MB, so its not the whole firmware package of 7.0.2 you get with iTunes. -
With the new version of iTunes, I cannot seem to have the playlist shuffled so that it is shuffled when downloaded to a CD. Please help.
Press Alt or Ctrl+B.

For some reason, iOS 6 has decided to download on my iPod Touch through WiFi. I didn't request it, nothing is set to automatically update in the Touch settings, or iTunes. It seemed to start downloading when I synced the Touch. I've disconnected the Touch from WiFi temporarily. How can I cancel the download, or will there be an option when it's done downloading to cancel the install?
Thanks for any help...You should really read the manual.
"How do you restore from backup? "
Restore. When given the choice, choose to use backup.
"And how can I check to see if the pics and videos are on my computer somewhere first??"
They would only be where you put them. What program did you use to import them? Pics/vids taken with ipod are not part of the sync process at all. You should be importing them just as you would with any digital camera.
If you did not import them, then they are not on your computer. -
I purchased movies through iTunes and downloaded them to my PC as well as synced my entire library (including 'all films') to my iPad. However, I cannot seem to find / view the movies on my iPad unless 'Home Sharing' is on?
No. Homeshare let's you view your iTunes library or others on your network.
Movies should be in the video app on the home screen. If they are not there, then make sure when your iPad is plugged into iTunes on your computer...the video tab is checked to sync what you want..make sure you hit apply after. You should see the movies transferring to your iPad in the status bar on the top of iTunes. -
ITunes downloads seem to hang when library is on shared USB hard disk
I have a shared USB hard disk on my AirPort Extreme Base Station. I'm able to play music just fine, but when I download a podcast or purchased music from iTunes, the download will start and then hang for a long time. When I quit and tell it to quit downloading in the dialog box, it ignores my choice and won't quit. I'm not even able to force quit iTunes and then can't even shut down my iBook without killing it by holding down the power button.
Is this an issue with transfering the data to the harddrive while airport is also downloading the song? Is there a way to avoid this situation? A setting? Should I be connected to the router directly and not wirelessly?
Please help.You have to mount your drive each time you want to use it. There is a special Airport Disk Utility to do that. Or you create an alias on your desktop (which you can of course only do once you have connected for the first time).

ITunes Match Appears To Have 'Broken' A Song
I haven't seen anything like this particular issue in the iTunes Match–Discussions I scanned, so here goes...
Recently I have been playing with iTunes Match, and it's been working quite well. The best way I learn is to actively engage with something, so I proceeded to replace my songs with low bit rates with higher bit rate versions from iTunes Match.
So, 6000 songs–give or take–over a two day period the process finished, and I am very satisfied with the results.
Recently I was listening to one of the 'matched' songs I downloaded, Stevie Nicks' "Doing The Best I Can (Escape From Berlin)" from her The Other Side Of The Mirror album, when I noticed breaks in the song.
I was at the gym at the time, so I assumed that the problem was with my headphones, so I waited till I got home to listen to the track on my computer (the song, before iTunes Match, was intact).
When I got home I played the song, and noticed breaks at 2:02, 3.28, and 4.30 (when I write 'breaks" I mean there's a second or so of empty space from one part of the song and the next).
This is really weird, because I know for a fact that the version I had orignally–before using iTunes Match–was pristine, which leads me to believe that the song residing on iTunes Match server(s) is broken.
I have a copy of this album on CD, so I am going to do an experiment that will prove it definitively: I am going to delete the version I downloaded from iTunes Match and replaced it with a version from the CD. Play it, to confirm that it's intact, then download it again from iTunes Match.
If the CD version is intact, it means there was iTunes Match version is broken; which means i'll followup with Apple because I'd hate to think that anymore of my songs had this problem (though as I said, I have not seen this with any other songs).Hi,
It would seem that the track that Apple is providing is corrupt. Not a lot you can do other that report problem to Apple. It will be easy for you to restore the original from the CD to play on your computer or sync manually to iOS devices (match needs to be off to transfer track).

ITunes Music Download Issues - Purchased Music Not Displaying in iTunes
I am having trouble with iTunes. This is what the problem is:
1) Purchased music / TV from iTunes.
2) Paused downloads.
3) Closed iTunes.
4) Later re-opened iTunes
5) Went to Store > Downloads
When I do this, the media which I have purchased, but not yet downloaded is not listed. At the bottom of this screen, it reads "62 iTunes Downloads Available." When I click on the download button, or go to Store > Check for Available Downloads, I receive the error "Unable to check for available downloads: the iTunes store is temporarily unavailable."
This has been happening yesterday and today. On two seperate networks. And this is also happening for my wife, who receives the same error on her iMac.
The odd thing is that I CAN purchase new music. If I purchase an album right now, the purchase goes through and the download begins. This indicates that I AM connected to iTunes. However, if I pause the downloads, close iTunes, and try to resume the downloads later (or download items that have been purchased, but not downloaded), than iTunes is unable to make the connection to the store.
My internet connection is working just fine. And as I said, I am able to connect in certain circumstances, but not others. Any suggestions? This seems to be a software flaw.I am having a similar problem. I purchased an iTunes Essential package but only half of the songs downloaded. I have the 34 iTunes songs are available for download in the download file but nothing happens when I click on the button, no error message, no nothing.
I have been in touch with Apple and have gotten their perfunctory responses all of which indicate that I have the problem not them. I asked for a refund for the songs purchased and billed but not received, but no response to that age old customer service solution.

I'm madder than **** and I will continue to send them problem message after problem message for as long as it takes to get them to refund my money. -
Itunes podcast download (-39) error
Persistent fault with a (-39) error relating to broken/corrupted downloads. Itunes doesn't seem to cope too well with this and the tmp download file that's created is sometimes unrecoverable
In the following path...
C:\users\username\music\itunes library\itunes media\Downloads\Podcasts
Delete the file/folder concerned, go back to itunes and update podcast and it'll start again with a fresh download.Mmm interesting.
Googling the error returns some people having problems syncing their photos, pointing to an iTunes client problem, which would make sense since you can subscribe to the podcast.
I still can't subscribe to it but I am hopefully the only one.
Thanks for your help.
