ITunes Song from iCloud corrupted download

I recently downloaded some songs from the recent Maroon 5 Album "Overexposed". I normally download all the songs I want onto my main music device which is an iPhone 4s running iOS 6.1.1, I would then sync my iPhone with my 2012 Windows 7 Ultimate PC running the latest iTunes version to get the songs backed up incase of any issues.
While all the songs synced and downloaded perfectly as expected, I noticed that 2 songs, "Lucky Strike" and "Doin Dirt" had not. I decided it was best to click the iCloud Download button next to the song name in my library in order to get the song (which normally fixes the problem and the songs play fine). After clicking said button I noticed the download bar would complete then restart and complete again at least 3 times before stopping, not downloading and then bringing up a dialog box that says, [There was a problem downloading ____ song, The file seems to be corrupted, please check the "Check for available downloads" in the store menu"]
I go to the store menu and click the "Check for available downloads" and nothing comes up to show I have those 2 songs ready to download. I have also gone back to the album and tried to download the songs again only to find them grayed out with purchased next to the popularity bar. I have also contacted apple support 2 times in the last day and they refunded me the money and gave me song credits to try the download process straight from my PC instead of my iPhone and I downloaded both songs again only to have the same problem.
The only thing I haven't tried in fear of loosing everything is deleting the iTunes program and redownloading it but idk if any of my movies, games, and other media will still be there since I don't have everything on my iPhone. I would also like to point out that my phone has the songs and they work fine with no problems.
Please help with any tips or tricks to fix this.
Thanks, PhantomJoe

When you delete the local track are you removing the original and the listing from iTunes.

ITunes Match unable to download songs from iCloud issue

I have a MacBook Pro running Mavericks 10.9.4 and iTunes 11.3.1. I am having repeated issues with downloading songs from iCloud to my MBP. I have reset Match numerous times using the steps located here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4054.
Then it works for a short time and I am able to download some songs and then suddenly I will get the pinwheel, the songs in iCloud will all show greyed out and then I am no longer able to download anymore. Repeat process.
I am about to try a test tethering to my iPhone's internet service to see if that improves things. So far, the only threads I have found on this topic have been related to Mountain Lion. So I'm not sure if this is a different issue I am seeing.
I also tried resetting the System Configuration to see if it would fix, but no luck: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4160355?start=90&tstart=0
Is anyone else experiencing this and what is the issue? Can it be fixed?

Hi,
I don't think that you have a similar issue to OP.

That means that iTunes Match is stripping out the Sample Rate when it uploads some tracks (even variable within albums) and then it gets stuck when you try to play the track.
Apple needs to fix this.
Match does not strip out the Sample Rate. If tracks are matched, it shows the standard sample rate of 44,100 but unknown when tracks are uploaded (probably because Apple does not capture this on such tracks). If you have an iCloud status of "Waiting" and a blank sample rate, this suggests that the match / upload process was not completed.
If you have not already solved your problem, I suggest that you delete those tracks and then read them to your iTunes library. Once you have matched or uploaded them, you can delete from your hard drive but not the cloud.

Can't download songs from iCloud in Canada, purchased from Hong Kong iTune Store

I have an Hong kong apple account. Now I'm in Canada, and I bought a song on iTune store. It was downloaded to my iCloud but I can't get that song from iCloud to my Mac.. Why is that so?? Is that related to the regions I am staying right now?

Hello holi890
Try signing out of your iTunes account and deauthorize. Once that is done sign in and Authorize the computer to see if that resolves the issue. If it still doing the same thing, then check out the second article to troubleshoot access to the iTunes Store.

My ipod touch is unable to download songs off itunes or from icloud ...what do I do?

ever since I got the new update (which actually restored my Ipod losing all my pictures) I have not been able to sync my songs from itunes or even purchased songs from icloud. If I cannot fix my Ipod I dont know what I'm going to do with all the songs I have purchased from itunes.

A restore has nothing to do with pressing or holding any buttons on the device.
A reset is holding the home and power buttons for 15-20 seconds until the white Apple logo appears.
If the backup completed successfully, a restore will put it back exactly as it was.
Although, any semi-intelligent person would be regularly importing the pictures from their device to their computer. Relying on a single device like a phone that can easily be lost, stolen, or damaged beyond repair is extremely unintelligent.

How do I download all my songs from iCloud without having to click on each one?

I have two computers and I would like to have my iTunes library on both. How do I download all my songs from iCloud without having to click on each one?

Create a smart playlist with the criteria being location - not on this computer. Then select all, right click and download.

How can I delete a song from iCloud / iTunes Match, but keep it on my Mac?

How can I delete a song from iCloud / iTunes Match, but keep it on my Mac?
I subscribed to iTunes Match a few weeks ago and my entire library was uploaded. I do not want all of my library in the Cloud, especially given that there is a space/song limitation. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks!

Apologies Brandon, we have moved on somewhat from your original question.
What I have done is effectively used Michael's idea. I'll try to explain a little further.
You can run iTunes match on up to 5 computers, and you can edit the iCloud library on any of them. Michael's idea works on the basis that, whilst you can edit the iTunes library, you can't remove songs from other computers.
I have basically the same setup as you, but I also have a MacBook Air, which is running iTunes Match but without any music downloaded so it all streams.
I added the songs on my main library, which then added them to the cloud. When they appeared on my MacBook I deleted them straight away. As there was no local copy I was asked if I wanted to delete them from the cloud, and I said yes. When I went back to my main computer I found that, as expected, they were still there, but the iCloud status is "removed". They are therefore on my library but not in iCloud.
Since then I have run match updates a couple of times and there is no sign as yet that it will try to add them back to the cloud. It's too early to say that this is a definate answer to your problem, but it looks very hopeful.
Our other discussions have moved onto the 25,000 son limit, which I note from your comment you may also be interested in. Watch this space.
If you don't have access to a second computer to run the other library on then look back at Michael's post where he explains how to set it up on your main computer.
Hope that clarifies a bit.

Can I download my iTunes library (from iCloud) in it's entirety if I have a hard drive crash?

Can I download my iTunes library (from iCloud) in it's entirety if I have a hard drive crash?

You can download the music from iCloud using the download arrows besides the songs - see the iTunes help:
Play or download songs from iCloud
You can play songs directly from iCloud, or you can download songs so you can play them when you’re not connected to the Internet.
If a song is available in iCloud, it has a Download button next to it.
To play the song, double-click it.
To download the song, click the Download button.
After you download a song to a computer, it remains in the computer’s iTunes library, even if you turn off iTunes Match.
To only display downloaded songs in your iTunes library, choose View > Hide Music in the Cloud. This also hides anyprevious iTunes Store purchases you haven’t downloaded.

Why do I need to re-download my songs from iCloud if they're already in my cloud?

Why do I need to re-download my songs from iCloud if they're already in my cloud?
I have iCloud on my iPhone 4S with iOs7 and I have both added all my Music on my iTunes to my phone manually and also have them on my cloud. Under iCloud settings on my phone I have "Show All Music" toggled "On". When I'm driving and want to listen to a certain song, most of the time the song I want is grayed out, unable to be played by my phone, and the only option I have is to "Re-download" it from my iCloud--I get this little picture of a gray cloud with a red downward arrow displayed and my Music takes forever to load. I also get this annoying pop up message telling my I might be subject to additional data fees for .....re downloading music I've already downloaded. Its' annoying.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Content needs to be on your phone before it can be played, if it isn't you need to download it. If you see content with a cloud icon next to it, it's telling you it isn't on your phone.

Unable to download song from iCloud

After purchasing songs from Itunes, I receive the following error message when trying to download songs from iCloud - "you do not have the priviledge to make changes." My itunes library is currently housed on an external hard drive. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

my first thought is if you have recently authorized/deauthorized any other computers. which requires a wait time.
other troubleshoots might be if you accidently switching your external harddrive to read only.
let me know, i'll try helping you troubleshoot.

How to download songs from icloud before i can copy to ipod

Welcome to Apple Support Communities

I cannot remove songs from iCloud - how can I do it without paying for iTune match subscription?

I cannot remove songs from iCloud - how can I do it without paying for iTune match subscription? Different answers in this forum make it iTune match enabled. But enabling iTune match cost me $24. Help please.

You are correct, you cannot delete songs from iTunes in the Cloud. This is where all of your purchases are permanently stored so if you want to re-download something you can. Sometimes purchases will no longer be available, if the merchant pulls them from the iTunes store, but for the most part, all of your past purchases will remain in iTunes in the Cloud.
This has absolutely nothing to do with iTunes Match.
What is the issue you are experiencing?

Change of functionality in deleting songs from iCloud/iTunes Match with the 11.0.2 version of iTunes?

I updated to iTunes 11.0.2 and this version brought a change of wording regarding deleting songs from iCloud/iTunes Match, and I'd like to know if there are any changes in functionality to match the change in wording:
With version 11.0.2, when I try to delete any song (uploaded, matched or purchased) I'm presented with a pop-up dialog box that asks me if I'm sure and also gives me a "Also hide this song from iCloud?" option.
In prior iTunes versions the pop-up dialog box would ask instead "Also delete this song from iCloud?".
Has the functionality changed? If so, what's the difference in functionality between 11.0.2 and previous versions? If the functionality of deleting songs has changed, how do I delete an uploaded song from both my local library and iCloud/iTunes Match?

I am having the same issue- pelase could anyone help? Mods?

ITunes not playing songs from iCloud in Match

I keep 50% of my music library on an external HD. I subscribed to iTunes Match to be able to access my entire library when my HD isn't available (traveling, HD in sleep mode, etc.). But iTunes won't play any songs that are stored on my external HD when the HD isn't available, even when the songs were purchased on iTunes, and even when iTunes has matched them and shows them as "purchased." When I try to play the song, iTunes says the external HD isn't available, and offers to allow me to locate the song (which is impossible because I'm not near the external HD). Why won't it use the copy that's stored in iCloud? Isn't this the whole point of iCloud, i.e., to allow me to stream my music library from anywhere?
I have an active internet connection, and I've already updated Match and turned it off an on again. But iTunes won't play any of my songs from iCloud; only from my Macbook hard drive, which certainly isn't the point of Match.

Sorry Michael, but while this may not be considered a bug technically, it's REALLY poor design. I have the same issue - I have too much music to store on my computer, so I store it on an external drive. How does Apple expect people to figure out how to adjust for this "design"?? I'm an experienced mac user of over 20 years, and I didn't understand what was going on (aside from my external drive not being connected). New iTunes/iCloud users are definitely not going to understand. Saying this is simply how it's supposed to work is not acceptable. Frankly, Apple has totally messed up their iCloud implementation - it's SO convoluted, especially if you have any iDevices.
For this issue, Apple really needs to change iTunes so that it's smart enough to stream music to a temp directory (and then have a setting in the Options in which you can empty it manually or according to a schedule, exiting iTunes, etc.), or at the very least, allow you to set up mulltiple libraries (which you can do manually, but iTunes doesn't track them at the same time).

HT4972 I was downloading $15 worth of iTunes songs from a gift card when my iPod died. Now, no credit & no songs on my iPod. Where did either my $$ go or my songs that I paid for disappear? How do I get one or the other?

I was downloading $15 worth of iTunes songs from a gift card when my iPod died. Now, no credit & no songs on my iPod. Where did either my $$ go or my songs that I paid for disappear? How do I get one or the other? I have 2 of the same iPod's and logged onto both with the same as well as different apple ID's and passwords to each respective iPod and the completion of my downloaded songs has disappeared into thin air. Where did it go? How do I get the credit too re-download those songs to the correct iPod? Please help me!! [email protected]

What happens when you try to redownload them?
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
On a computer go to iTunes>Store>View Account>Sign in and go to purchased history and see if you actually purchased them.
Try redeeming the card again
