ITunes Store Downloading Issues

Ok, i downloaded a song like 3 days ago directly to my touch. It saved the song, i listened to it alot. So i wake p and go to listen to it and my purchesed playlist is gone, the song is missing, but in itunes it sees the purchesed playlist but there are no songs in it.
I also checked albums, artist, and songs for the album, artis, and song but can not find it.
Did the song expire or did my itouch delete my song?
Also is there a way that the itouch, when downloading allows you to download it to your pc also? So i can have a back up.
Thanks for you help!

You'll have to contact the iTunes Store support team. They run entirely off the web, so visit:
http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/store/
and select the problem from the options.
Good luck.

Purchased videos from itunes store download/upload issues

I purchased movie from itunes store downloaded it onto my itouch works plays is fine --but when I tried to sync or drag the movie onto my windows computer into itunes or sync it with itunes cannot get the + sign only no go. Getting frustrated--I bought this movie actually for my wife and then cannot get it onto her itouch since it will not transfer into itunes for me to get it moved/transferred onto her itouch. Both itouch's are authorized on this computer. I am confused--why buy the video if you cannot work with it on your devices? Please help!

Did you check your trash can? Did you make a backup copy of your videos that you purchased? That is something that is always reminded to users that purchase from the itunes store...to make a backup copy to their purchased music. The idea is once you buy the music and you lose it well then its gone forever. I highly doubt you can get what you purchased from the itunes music store back again without purchasing them again. But that is weird that you had the videos and and their gone now. Have you tried searching for them on your computer harddrive? Did you do a recent hard reset to your ipod? Are you manually updating your ipod and deciding what to sync and not?

Please help me to clear my iTunes Store download queue.

Finally, I got it.
After spending most of Friday night on the issue, I found the following at ...
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3297
Obviously, some srewed up downloads have been sitting in the download folder and causing a) crashes at start-up (since itunes will try immediately to continue the download after start up) and b) avoiding anything else to be downloaded (seems to be a kind of "first come- first to be downloaded"-arrangement).
I found several "downloads"-folders using Spotlight. Most likely, because I moved the iTunes library to access it from my account as well as from the account of my wife (at the same computer). I deleted all those downloads-folders and ... voila .. suddenly the downloads continued. Funny, that there have been more conflicts in the queue of app 20 files to be downloaded. Means, I could download 5 and the problem came back. I repeated the procedure and could continue with the remaining 15 files.
After all, iTunes' download behaviour is back to normal. Songs, movies, apps, podcasts can be downloaded without any issue.

ITune Store download stopped (err=8003, -3259, etc.)

Since upgrading to vers. 7 I have troubles downloading TV Shows (f.e. Prison Break Season1) for which I payed for.
The downloads are starting but stopped suddenly with above mentioned error messages. Very annoying also as some of the downloads pursue to about 95%, stop and are restarting from 0% again!
Are there any known problems with the server or can someone please explain possible troubleshooting?
Thanks, Axel
PS: I might add that the Software Upgrade from QuickTime Pro 7.0.2 to 7.1.3 - for which I bought the upgrade - is also not working (although I doubt that has anything to do with the iTune Store Server)

On 25th I got the following mail from iTMS:
1) Before proceeding, make sure you're using the latest version of iTunes. It can be downloaded free of charge: http://www.apple.com/itunes/download
Note: Installing the latest version of iTunes will not affect your Library or any items in your account that you haven't downloaded.
2) Open iTunes.
3) From the Store menu, choose "Advanced" and then "Deauthorize Audible Account" and then re-authorize it from the same drop-down menu.
4) Enter your account name and password and click OK.
To start downloading your recent purchases, please follow these steps these steps:
Enter your account name and password when prompted, then click the Check button. Your purchase should begin downloading.
This article provides more information about resuming interrupted downloads:

Once your purchases have downloaded, they will appear in your Purchased playlist as well as your iTunes library. However, you will need to authorize your computer again (1) to play your purchases. To authorize your computer, choose "Authorize Computer..." from the Store menu
- I do not have an account with Audible
- This did not solve the error messages and download problems I have.
- (1) Why would one have to authorize the computer again as it has not been deauthorized?
Does anyone at ITMS knows what is going wrong?

Sound quality from iTunes Store downloads

Hi Mac Mavens,
I'm a pretty discerning listener and I'm wondering about the quality of the sound from iTunes Store downloads vis-a-vis a CD. If you play them side by side through a very good sound system would you be able to hear the difference? Any audiophiles out there who have made the comparison? What's your verdict?
Thanks one and all,
CZ1957

I, for one, can hear the difference between 256 Kbit AAC and uncompressed AIFF over my Imac's tiny speakers. Over a good sound system, the difference is not subtle.
Compressed audio is inferior to the original, and there's very little argument about that. It's my understanding that most people can hear the difference between lossy compression and uncompressed audio.
Upon hearing it, however, some people can live with the difference, while others can't.
There are two very good reasons why you might wish obtain your audio on physical CD's: 1) if you care about the artistic intent of the musician and you want to hear everything they created, that's only available on CD, and 2) you might not wish to be overcharged for an inferior product. The "iTunes Plus" compression throws away about 80% of the information in the original audio, yet the cost is about the same as a physical CD. Why anyone pays $10 for one fifth of the data on a CD, when all the data is available for about the same price, is beyond me.

ITunes Store downloading a movie issues

I bought a movie from iTunes Store and started downloading the whole size into the iPhone and then processing went away and the downloading started again. Fifth time, nothing. I found that the before processing step minutes left are inaccurate and mess up everything. I want to watch Scarface, so I need help to solve that issue with redownloading every time it reaches processing step.
Thanks,
iDistrict

It's not up to Apple. Apple can't provide what the movie studio won't license. Many movie studios are unwilling to license movies for download sale, and some may be willing but unable to offer a given movie due to contractual issues with the actors, director, etc.
If you want to urge someone to offer the Transformers movies, contact the movie studio who owns those movies. It's their decision, not Apple's.
Regards.

HT1657 I rented a movie from the iTunes Store, downloading to my iPhone 5, but after it downloaded, it's completely disappeared from my iPhone. I've been charged for the rental and when I go to rent it again, it says that I've already rented it

Hi - I rented a movie from iTunes and was charged for the rental. It downloaded to my iPhone 5 over wi-fi as usual, but on completion of the download, it then didn't appear in my movies app on the iphone. I can't find it either on iTunes in my account on my computer. But iTunes seems to think that I've already downloaded it, but I can't find it anywhere or watch it. Help! I've downloaded and watch plenty of movies before - this is a first. I've tried re-renting it, but it tells me that I've already rented it and if I download it again, I'll be charged a second time.
Help - anyone out there had the same problem or better still, have a solution????

I had the same issue with my apple tv 3rd generation. I rented Sinister and selected the "rent and watch now" option. Half way through the movie I accidentally pressed the menu button. When I looked for the rented movie on my apple tv I could not find it. Not even above the movie pannel where "purchased" and "top movies" comes up on the main menu. the apple tv suggests to go to settings>downloads but I don't have that option. I did go to settings> itunes store> check rentals but that didnt work either. It took too long to even check. Thank you because this SOLUTION worked great.
SOLUTION: How to reset apple tv 3 3rd generation to view rented movies:on the apple tv remote: press and hold "menu" to go to the main menu. Select SETTINGS> GENERAL >RESET >RESET ALL SETTINGS. After the apple tv resets, input all your information again and your rented movies should be visible when you cruise above the "movies" section. THANK YOU!!
Apple needs to solve this issue because honestly it took me 3 hours and a half to watch a movie that only lasted 2 BECAUSE I wast trying to solve the issue, reseting and all. blahh.

ITunes store download fail

I recently bought a few albums from the iTunes store but randomly 3 of the songs did not properly download and they can't be put onto my iPod as it says they cannot be converted. Playing them on the laptop, they stop halfway through. I don't know how to report this and get a solution or a refund, can anyone help?

This turned out to be an issue with Cablevision, my ISP.

Itunes store connectivity issues

I am new to itunes. I have never connected to the store, however, I recently downloiaded version 8 and attempted to access the itunes store and received multiple errors. Specifically: "iTunes could not connect to the iTunes store unkown error -3212 and unkown error -11222" The term used was check your network connection and try again. Since I have read the previous posts, I must admit I'm a fairly pc illiterate. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Problems connecting to the iTunes Store often stem from issues with the Windows firewall or a firewall in a router, a privacy filter (such as McAfee Internet Privacy Service or Norton Internet Security), an antivirus/antispyware utility, or a download accelerator. Start here:
iTunes for Windows: iTunes Store Connection Troubleshooting
iTunes for Windows: Connection Issues when using Internet Filters, Accelerators, or Firewalls
Tunes for Windows could not establish a secure connection to the iTunes Store
iTunes for Windows: Possible iTunes Store Errors
for some basic tips to start isolating the cause of the problem. What you may need to do is temporarily disable any such service and see if that fixes the problem. If so, then if it's a firewall/Internet filter that's causing the problem and you'll need to set the offending service to allow iTunes to connect to the iTunes Store. If none of what you read in those articles makes sense to you, you may want to recruit a friend or family member who's more experienced with computers to help you.
Hope this helps.

ITunes store - downloading purchased songs kicks back to "more" menu

I am on iOS 8. Using iPhone and in the iTunes Store > More > Purchased > Music. When I click on iCloud icon next to a track to download, it begins the download, but kicks me back to the "More" menu and I have to navigate back to download additional songs. Before I could download as many tracks as I wanted before manually exiting the screen. Anyone else seeing this?

I'm having the same issue... But it even happens on some artist with a lot of music listed. It just stays stuck on the loading screen on my iPhone 5. I would like to download my music please!

Starbucks wifi free music iTunes Store download fails

The Starbucks wifi home page offers free weekly music downloads through the iTunes store. I click on the 'free' icon and iTunes opens up, telling me it's ready to download the music. It then offers the familiar iTunes Store login (username and password). But, when I enter my password to download the song (and I know I am using the correct password) the download does not begin. The iTunes Store login widget appears again - I am asked to re-enter my password. No matter how many times I type in my known, correct password, the cycle continues (rejection of my password and request to reenter it).
This has been happening (or, *not* happening) for some time now. I've reset my password and that did not fix the problem. I also 'authorized' my laptop and that did not solve the problem.
I'm stuck. I've sent an email to Starbucks technical help and they were unable to offer any constructive, illuminating answers for their end of this, but did say I should contact Apple for support.
Might someone know how to solve this?
Thank you/anyone for your help.
Glen

thanks for the help. I followed your advice, but the song is not listed in the purchased history. If i try to purchase the song again, itunes informs me that I have already purchased the song but have not downloaded it. Issue still not resolved

ITunes Store/Starbucks issue

Anybody else in Northern California having an issue with connecting to the iTunes Store at a Starbucks that has been configured to offer it?
I've noticed that both the iPhone and iPod touch are unable to connect to the iTunes Store in a Starbucks location if they are using the 1.1.1 (10a) firmware or later. I would have thought maybe this would have been addressed in the 1.1.2 firmware update, but the same issue persists. They probably aren't aware of it yet since the roll out for iTunes Store in Starbucks is only going on in Nor Cal right now.
iPhones/iPod touches with the (09a) version of 1.1.1 seem to connect to the iTunes Store in participating Starbucks' just fine.

Try redownloading it via iCloud.

ITunes Plus Download Issue

I paid to upgrade my entire iTunes library (all that qualified for an upgrade) last week. It came out to a little over 1000 songs. I successfully downloaded around 700 of the songs - each time I would check for downloads it would fetch either 125 or 250 at a time.
All of a sudden the iTunes store has gotten stuck in that I can not continue to download the iTunes Plus upgrade songs. I can make new purchases - like individual songs or albums - and download them just fine. When I try to fetch the remaining iTunes Plus downloads I get the following error:
"Unable to check for available downloads. The network connection timed out. Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active, then try again."
Obviously my connection is OK since I can still make new purchases. Also, my wife was able to upgrade her library to iTunes Plus just fine - on the same exact machine. Only my remaining iTunes Plus songs are "stuck."
I found the link below:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1606154
It seems to be the same issue. I contacted iTunes technical support but they keep insisting it's a connection issue. Anyone know who to contact to get this fixed? It should be obvious that my connection works after all that I've described.
Thanks

Thanks to the person who took the time to understand the posted question and provide a genuine answer - purchase an iTunes song using iTunes on my computer first, which forces iTunes to present the extended iTunes Plus agreement for you to accept, after which you can then sync the iPhone and it picks up the extended agreement and will then work properly to purchase and download iTunes Plus content.
