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

  • A recent download the CD gets stuck and repeats.  I believe that this is a fault in the CD not picked up by Itunes.  Downloading again may not sort this out.  Who do I contact to tell this to.

  • Why don't apple give iTunes song download for free, at least few of the song

    Apple don't give free iTunes song download or bluetooth sharing. I am also an iPhone user and don't have a option to share my songs photos etc to others who are not using iPhone. I prefer free iTunes song download.

    Why should they give you things for free? How many other stores do you walk into that give you things for free? Apple has to pay the artists and record companies for those songs, so Apple therefore has to charge you for them, just as in the case with any store. Apple does in some countries offer a free "song of the week". Look to the bottom of the iTunes Store for the "free on iTunes" button.
    As to sharing songs with others, that's illegal, just as it would be if you made a copy of a CD and gave it away. There are third-party apps in the iTunes Store that do allow some limited sharing of files such as photos via Bluetooth with other iPhones, so you might do a search of the iTunes Store for "bluetooth" and see what comes up. If you want to share with others not using iPhones, you'll need to look to some other service such as Dropbox, Flickr, etc.
    Regards.

  • ITunes Match song download error on iPhone

    All songs matched or uploaded sucessfully.
    I've tried to download just 1 playlist after enabling match on my iPhone 4, but 3 songs are stuck in download queue in iTunes (phone).
    They say 'download error, tap to try again'
    When I tap the progress bar shoots up really fast then at processing they fail.
    Anyone any ideas?

    The only way that worked for me was deleting the songs in iTunes (both iCloud and Mac while keeping the files). Then updating iTunes Match. Next, drag and drop the album back to iTunes and update Match.
    Next, on iPhone, the only way that worked to download them is to actually playback each song in the album NOT "download all" button or even individual download button. If I use the buttons, it downloads part of the song then I get the error message or it stops midway and you can't delete the song from the download queue. Again, the only way that worked for my iPhone was to playback each song without skipping any of them and they easily downloaded on my phone. Hope this helps
    PS: The check downloads on iTunes did nothing to me as it never showed the iOS queue items, only my undownloaded purchases from iTunes Store.

  • ITunes song dowload error via wifi

    I have an Iphone and Ipad both connected to a wap in my office. When I try and download via wifi from the apple store I get a download error. The song starts to download and stops.
    I can download to itunes via the wired connection to my pc over adsl but not over wifi. When I log into a different wap ie at home, the songs download with no issues.
    There must be something in the settings of the WAP that is causing this but I can't trace what is causing this. Apps are ok
    I have run the diagnostics in Itunes and all is fine there. This has been an issue over various versions of itunes.
    Any suggestions?

    iTunes Store loads partially or returns "Error 306" or "Error 10054"
    Proxies, parental control settings and software, security or filtering software, or a bad iTunes Store cache can cause this.
    To address proxies, Remove Internet Options proxy settings ( http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1490 ) and connect to the Internet without a proxy.
    To reset iTunes Store cache:
    In iTunes, choose iTunes > Preferences (Mac) or Edit > Preferences (PC).
    Click the Advanced tab.
    Click the "Reset cache" button.
    Click OK and see if the issue is resolved.
    Adjust Parental Controls in iTunes:
    Open iTunes.
    Access iTunes preferences:
    On a Mac: From the iTunes menu, choose Preferences.
    On a Windows PC: From the Edit menu, choose Preferences.
    Click the Parental Controls tab.
    Remove restrictions on Parental Controls.
    For more information on parental controls or content filtering software, see iTunes 10.5 for Windows: May see performance issues and blank iTunes Store.

  • Some iTune songs download at a low volume.

    How do you permanently change the volume of an iTunes song so you don't have to keep adjusting it every time it plays?  Under the control tab on the library page, increase volume (ctrl + up page) and decrease volume (ctrl + down page) are listed options, but I can't get any respones.  Apple support told me to delete the songs and download again, but there was no change. Also, one song gets cut off before the song is over.

    You are not addressing Apple here at all.
    We are all itunes users just like you.
    What is the issue?
    Do you get an error message?
    Perhaps if you explain your problem, then someone could help.

    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.

  • Song Download Error Message

    I selected 20 songs to download this morning using the iTunes store and my WiFi connection at home. I've downloaded over 100 in the past week with no problem. Today none of the songs would complete their download and I got an error message and I quote "Unable to Download Song...this item will be available for download when you log in to the iTunes Store on your computer"
    I logged onto my iMac and iTunes store and the downloading worked. However, all the songs are still showing on the Download list of the iPhone with an error message next to them and it says to Tap to Try Again. If I do that, it goes through the downloading and then errors before finishing.
    Is there a way to clear these out since I don't want to buy them a 2nd time and want them off the download listing? I've tried rebooting the phone but that didn't clear them out.
    Thanks,

    Perhaps if you go to "Settings/General/Reset/Reset All Settings" and try resetting all settings it will get that out of there for ya.
    Worth a try anyway.
