ITunes purchases download errors

I purchased the Lord of the Rings HD bundle last night, and after a few abortive attempts, the movies appear to have downloaded okay, although iTunes seems to think it downloaded the 1st movie twice; there's only the one copy in my library, though...
On a (possibly) unrelated sidenote, I cannot assign one of my custom audio equalizer presets to the 1st movie; the 2nd and 3rd movies behaved fine, but the 1st refuses to take.
It's the 'iTunes Extras' that don't want to download, no matter how many times I try them, and no matter how many times I try them after making sure I have the latest version of iTunes (I do), or quitting and restarting iTunes, or restarting the whole computer....
For the record, iTunes 11.0.1 trying to figure out whether or not I have any files that need downloading causes iTunes to freeze, while it scrunches up it's little head in fierce concentration, freezing the program for several minutes... it then (finally) decides that the last time it tried was not particularly sucessful (ch'uh!!!), it begins the download again, and all becomes right with the world.
This is not the first time I've had problems with the 'iTunes Extras' portion.
I will go as far as to say that I have more problems (i.e. failures) than I have successes, at this point.
For the record, in this instance the error messages I get are the following...
For the Fellowship and Return of the King extras, I get the error message "- stopped (error = -19)"
For the Two Towers extras, I get the error message "- stopped (error = -23)"
The download window states the the full file has downloaded, every time, but fails upon the last step, whatever that step is; i.e. the Fellowship extras file is 1.81GB, which is what downloads, then it faults...
Anybody got any ideas...?

On an additional note, the window that pops open to tell me there were 'some problems' with several of the downloads states that I should 'check the network connection and try again...' which is what I've been doing for about 24 hours now...
Also, an album I bought just an hour or so ago has failed to download one of the tracks, and doesn't recognize that fact when I ask it to check for available downloads... making me wonder just what the **** is going on over in iTunes land...
Too much holiday cheer...?
Not enough...?
Well, it's getting downright frosty over here where I'm sitting...

I'd suggest you ask this question in the iTunes forum rather than the GarageBand forum to get answers about, well, iTunes.

If i change cd import format does itune purchases download in the same format?

the topic says it all i was wondering if i change cd import format if it changes the format that itunes purchases download in if not can i change the format the download in directly from itunes

No. iTunes Store music downloads always come as AAC, except for podcast episodes, which are in the format chosen by their creator.

Purchased downloads from Itunes, downloads say "Download error, tap to retry. I have been trying daily since purchase. What can I do?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Try deleting the problematic tune (electing to remove original file if/when prompted) and then re-downloading the file from the iTunes store.
You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option from the Quick Links section in the top right corner of the iTunes homepage in your iTunes application on your computer.
You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option at the bottom of the screen of the iTunes app on your iOS device.
If the problem re-occurs, select the content which is causing a problem and use the 'Report a problem' button in Your Purchase History using your computer.

Unwanted ITUNES Purchase, Frustrating Errors, Dead Ends and Angry Wife.

This morning my wife flew off the handle as she had just given me a lecture yesterday about how broke we are and to not spend any money till our next payday as we can't afford any overdraft fees. So imagine my frustration when I wake up to her screaming at me because I made an alleged ITUNES purchase of $4 that we sadly did not and don't even have in the bank currently. So now we have negative $34 + dollars. I swear to her up and down I made no ITUNES purchase. I log into ITUNES and VIEW ACCOUNT. AND I scroll down to PURCHASE HISTORY. Which looks like a link or something, (Its blue text..I'd show you a pic, but thats not working either...more on that in a second.) but you can't click it. It says "Most Recent Purchase : March 28, 2013" There is no more info but that...I look on the ipad to see what my purchase history looks like there. There I am able to see pictures of the things that have been "PURCHASED" Nothing had been downloaded or "PURCHASED" save for a few FREE APPS in the last few days. XBOX GLASS, ANGRY BIRDS HD FREE (Because my son got this Angry Birds toy for easter that makes the Birds turn into pigs. We've already bought Angry Birds for the IPHONE, No intention of buying the HD version as well. My point is all downloads were free things. Nothing that would cost money and a bit of my soul. Still unable to see the raw info of PURCHASE HISTORY. The screen with the ORDER NUMBERS and what not. The IN APP PURCHASES ARE SHUT OFF. (As we've been burned by that in the past from our son.) So I can't give her any explanation as to what the heck just punched us finacially in the throat. So I do some google searches trying to get a more detailed discription of our history. Plenty of sources of info come up. Telling me what to do. Telling me what I already know. I try and follow the instructions with no luck. I find a link in the instructions that I can click that says.
"On a computer with iTunes installed, click purchase history to have iTunes open and display your purchase history. You will be prompted for your Apple ID and password."
I click on the "purchase history" hoping that some light is going to be shed on where this mystery $4 charge came from. I get an error saying "We could not complete your iTunes Store request. An unknown error occurred (12001). I google that and get an answer that says this error happens when the clocks on your computer are not in sync with the actual internet time. This is a WINDOWS OS answer. I'm on a MAC. I check my clock anyways and everything is normal. Correct Date, Correct time. It's set to be set automaticallly by the computer as it always has been.
So finally I goto to contact APPLE SUPPORT because I have no other options. Already knowing in the back of my head that this going to be a DEAD END. That some how its going to be my fault even if its not. I click on APPLE SUPPORT and get ANOTHER ERROR saying "We're Sorry, but we were unable to complete your request at this time. Please try again in a few minutes or START OVER NOW. system 99" I click the the START OVER NOW button and get the same error. I wait for a few minutes and get the same error. I wait some more and still get the same error.
I took pictures of all these errors and dead ends and unability to see my purchase history with order numbers and zero in on this 4 dollar purchase and when I tried to upload them. (after resizing my screen grabs to the porportions set by apple.) I'm able to choose my image, but the button to actually post it in this message is greyed out. So I can't even have the simple pleasure of showing you the frustrating road block signs that are popping up for some lame reason too.
My wife was waiting for me to give her some answers, standing there with her coat on, because she was about to goto work. I'm trying desperately to find some answers and literally every flipping turn is blocked by some crazy error message.
I mean, I know how to check my purchase history. I've done it many times in the past. So its super frustrating and sad how a ghost purchase of $4 from the itunes store is going to put me in the dog house all day today. And I can't even SEE WHAT IT IS!?
Thanks apple for putting me one step closer to divorce.

Go here:

to report the issue to the iTunes Store. They should be able to help you with this problem.

ITunes song downloading error - may be corrupt?

I just recently downloaded 3 songs, 2 of them have gotten the message, this file may be corrupted try again later. I've tried downloading those songs about 5 times each, does anyone know the answer to this?

I'm having the same error but only one a few of the downloads. I am downloading many things at the same time and only one or 2 of the tracks are giving me this "stopped (err = 8003)".
Thus I assume its a server side (iTunes store) problem. Probably if I hit the gray arrow on the right to try the download again in the future, it will come through. Now I'm getting notifiers that iTunes is unable to check for purchases. Either the iTunes store severs are having problems for my ISP is.
My suggestion to people having this problem is wait a while and try the download again (see below), particularly if you've successfully download purchases in the past. That approach is partially working for me now. A few hours ago all of the downloads stopped. Now I've gotten a few more before the errors are popping up again. Even if this is your first attempt, if you're at home, i.e., not behind a corporate firewall save yourself the hassle of reconfiguring your home network (plugging directly into your modem or disabling your router's firewall) and just try again later.
In another forum I found a user ranting that he was buying the song/movie/whatever multiple times. In response to that: When you get one of these downloading errors you do not have to buy anything again. In left panel of iTunes, under the "STORE" heading click "Downloads". This will show you all the downloads pending and in progress. If any of them have problems you can use the "Resume All" button at the bottom to try them all again. Click the gray arrow circling back on itself at the right hand side of each item to restart the download of an individual item.
Hope this helps

Previously purchased download error on iPad

So I went kind of crazy downloading previously purchased music in iTunes onto my new iPad 2. I set over 100 songs to download, then went to watch a streaming movie. The downloads were slowing down my connection (I have kind of crappy broadband) so I paused them after 20-30 songs had finished. I forgot about it and came back a couple of days later and tried to resume the downloads one at a time, but I just get a download error that says "[Title of Song] could not be downloaded at this time." No matter how much I "tap to retry" it will not download. If I try to download other previously purchased songs that I hadn't already set to download, it works fine. If I look up the songs I'm trying to download in the Purchased section of iTunes, the songs are marked as downloaded. If I look up the songs in the Music app on my iPad, the songs and albums appear in the list, but there's no album art, and if I try to play them, it just tries to resume the download and we're back to the download error. The songs are definitely not on my iPad. Any idea what's going on and how to fix it? Syncing from my computer is not an option right now, as my iBook is so ancient I can't run a current enough version of iTunes to hook up my iPad - I set it up using my work computer, which does not have my music collection on it and needs to stay that way per company policy. I'm really hoping there's a cloud-based solution to this weirdness.

Ah-ha, okay. I figured this out, pretty much by accident. If this happens to anyone else, here's how to fix it.
In the iTunes Music app (not the store app, but where you actually play your music once it's downloaded), songs in the queue but not completely downloaded yet will have a button next to it that looks only vaguely like a stop button on a remote - a tiny square within a circle. Hitting that button cancels the download. Note that there is no way that I saw to do this within the iTunes Store. Yeesh. Apple is usually better about usability than that. But anyway, canceling the download within Music will remove the songs from the queue within iTunes Store and then the little cloud download icon will reappear beside the songs in question. The songs I have tried so far have all downloaded just fine.

Missing or Lost iTunes Purchase Downloads

I was in the iTunes store a couple of days ago and purchased two songs to download. The downloads weren't completed as there was an error message saying "internet connection" was lost. I tried it again but the same message appeared.
This isn't necessarily a problem because I would be able to locate the purchased items from my list and try again. However after I logged out and then logged back in those purchased items have gone missing. I do have a list of all my purchases from iTunes but the last two songs I purchased aren't there and I know I have been charged for them because they have been charged against my iTunes account. They are definitely not in my iTunes Library, so where are they?
I checked my iTunes purchase history and I have an order reference as proof of purchase with the date and time of purchase. So how can I find out how to get those songs back without having to pay for them again or who would I report the problem to? Any help or ideas would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Look under the Store menu in iTunes for the "Check for available downloads" command and run that. You may find the tracks there to be downloaded.
If not, contact the iTunes Store Customer Service department from their Support page (select the category and subcategory closest to the issue you're reporting and you'll find either an "Express Lane" button - just follow the instructions to get to the contact form - or an "Email Us" button) and explain the problem to them.
Good luck.

Same here.
My biggest problem with the download isn't the space it's occupying. It's that it asks me for my account password every 5 min.
I've been thinking about a factory restore but seems like a drastic solution, there should be an easier way to delete it. Like swipe deleting it like all other downloads.

Getting: iTunes is unable to purchase downloads error

Have been getting this error for at least the past 12 hours when I try to download. Not a network error. Not an access error. And not a credit card validation error. Anyone else having trouble buying songs?
