ITunes Sync issues: I cannot download purchased songs & the sync never finishes

Songs that are listed as Purchased in my iTunes Store account are listed in grey in iTunes on my iMac and I cannot download them again.
Also, and maybe related, since upgrading to iOS5, the iTunes sync between my desktop and iPhone 4 never ends -- it hangs on the last step, "waiting for items to copy."
Any ideas on how to resolve these problems?
What's going with Apple these days? Lots of bugs and issues. Too bad.
Thanks!

Anyone having this problem and have mcafee click on the start button type services.msc find mcaffee rediractor right click and stop works like a charm

  • ITunes 7 (error -50) Cannot Download Purchased Music...

    Greetings!
    I have recently upgraded to iTunes 7 and tried to purchase an album today and recieved error -50 "There was a problem downloading "X", Try again. Please Check Your connection."
    I have also purchased music a few days ago with version 7 and had no problems. I do have a "good" connection established, so why can I not download? I tried turning Norton Off, but no difference.
    My wife was using iTunes earlier and noticed a pop-up from norton, but did not read it and just clicked allow...so do you think that this might have something to do with this problem? Other than this problem, iTunes 7 works okay, connection to the iTunes Music Store is not an issue.
    Please Help!
    Thanks,
    Jared

    Hello all,
    I restarted the computer and all is well. I'm not sure what the problem was...maybe a bug in version 7? After the restart I just went to STORE->CHECK FOR PURCHASES and the new music was downloaded successfully.

  • 3GS can not update software on itunes update server and cannot download purchased APPs

    I have an iphone 3GS and I dont seem to be able to download apps I purchase directly onto it.  I thought I would try to do it through my itunes but it keeps trying to connect to the iphone software update server first which it cant seem to do

    No. Updating software is across all users. About the only time that isn't true is if you installed a piece of software for only one user. But then that piece of software would never be available to the other user if it was made available it would be the updated version.

  • I changed my email address of itunes and aps and cannot download aps because the old email address keeps showing up--what is wrong

    I changed my email address for itunes and the app store and when I try to down load a new app, my old email address appears and I cannot down load the app--any help

    When you change the primary email address on your account you may need to then log out of your account on your iPad by tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and then log back in with the updated version of the account so as to 'refresh' the account on it

You can download past purchases on the computer with just one apple ID every 90 days. This computer can be used with a different Apple ID in 75 days." WHAT??
    I've never had problems before - my husband and I have used the same library for years.  My daughter also has her own Apple ID... are we going to have trouble with that, too?  Actually we have 4 Apple IDs - somewhere around 8 Apple devices... this is a huge issue for us... HELP

    Just to be clear - I just bought a new song and can't download it into the library because of this error message.

  • TS3297 iTunes error coe 8012: cannot download newly-purchased music from iTunes store.

    iTunes error coe 8012: cannot download newly-purchased music from iTunes store.  Anyboy else get this looping error?

    Hey everybody,
    I also was experiencing the unknown error -42018 when attempting to download purchased music. Additionally, I was stuck in an endless authorization loop when attempting to play previously purchaed music. All this started when I installed the latest iTunes software 7.0.2.
    I run windows XP Pro, and unlike the majority of users I actually set it up correctly with a dedicated administrator account, and regular user accounts instead of just running as admin all the time. For me, that was the cause of the problem.
    The new version of iTunes software required FULL CONTROL privilages on the iTunes and iPod install directories for all user accounts that were using the program. (Previous versions worked fine, so this is a new thing.) Once I provided those permissions, iTunes worked correctly. Follow this link: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/304040 for information on how to provide FULL CONTROL to every user account.
    I hope you all find this helpful in solving your problem.
    Good Luck,
    Bill

  • Purchased music in Itunes and it did not download anything but the titles of the songs.

    purchased music in Itunes and it did not download anything but the titles. I cannot find where I can get support to get my purchase fixed. IThis is the most frustrating support system ever.
    Where can I get support?

    Does the Store > Check For Available Downloads menu option find it ? If not, then depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries), does it show under the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes for downloading (if there is an complete download of the track listed in the Music part of your library then you will need to delete it from there before it will get the cloud symbol in Purchased for redownloading) ?
    If you can't download it via either of the above then try the 'report a problem' page to contact iTunes Support : http://reportaproblem.apple.com
    If the 'report a problem' link doesn't work then you can try contacting iTunes support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

  • I only have one iTunes account.  The other day I made the mistake of downloading purchased songs and movies logged on another user account (Administrator) on the same computer.  How do I consolidate all my purchases in my preferred user account?

    I only have one iTunes account.  The other day I made the mistake of downloading purchased songs and movies logged on another user account (Administrator) on the same computer.  How do I consolidate all my purchases in my preferred user account?

    copy the songs that you downloaded as admin and put it somewhere you can access it from you're preferred account (usb stick / cd / shared folder / external hard drive) log into with you preferred user account and drag and drop the files on top of the itunes icon and they will be imported.
    if you have a second computer you could use home sharing to move the music from admin itunes to the second computer and from the second computer to the preferred itununes
    ps you can only connect 5 computers to you're itunes account so don't forget to de-autorise when you no-longer wand it.

  • Error message when trying to download purchased songs

    I purchased some albums on my ipad that synced to my iphone. I'm now trying to download my purchases to my library stored on my PC, but I'm getting an error/warning message along the lines of:
    "You can download past purchases for up to 90 days.....You cannot assign another apple id to this computer for the next 30 days".
    Does anyone have any ideas? I did have to sign my wife out of itunes before i signed in to download my songs so i assuming its something to do with that.

    When trying to download purchased songs on ITunes, it
    gives an error message that the network connection
    timed out. also gives this error message when I try
    to download ITunes software. Can anyone help with
    this error? Thanks
    I am having the same problem. (err = -3259) and it's not listed in any of the error codes in Apple Support. Weird. Why have an error code and no reference for it.
    First it happened when I tried to download a movie and I kept "checking for purchases" - didn't work - checked all my ad filters, privacy filters, firewall settings - didn't work. Then I forgot for a day, went back and it worked. Now I have three episodes of a TV show that will not download and I am getting the same error message. This time it has been a few days though...Someone who knows - Please HELP!!

  • I have downloaded my albums to new ipod (second one) but cannot download purchases. How do I do it?

    I have downloaded my albums to new ipod (second one) but cannot download purchases. How do I do it?

    If your iPod classic has enough storage capacity to hold your entire iTunes music library, here's one convenient way to do set it up to sync "everything" automatically, including any new changes.
    First, if your iTunes sidebar (along left side of window) is not visible, from the menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar.
    Select the iPod in the sidebar, under DEVICES.  Near the top, there is a bar of buttons, starting with Summary.  Click on Music next to Summary.  This is the iPod's Music screen, where you tell iTunes how to sync songs to your iPod.
    Check the box fo Sync Music.  NOTE:  If there are songs on the iPod that are not in your current iTunes library, those songs will be lost when you set up automatic syncing.  If this is a problem, please post back.
    Choose the option to sync Entire music library.  With this setting, when you click Apply, your entire iTunes music library syncs to the iPod, including playlists.  Going forward, any changes you make to your iTunes music library sync automatically to the iPod, the next time you connect it (or click Sync if the iPod is already connected).

  • Cannot add purchased songs to iPod

    I am about ready to throw my Macbook out the window. I detest the new makeover on iTunes making me feel like a complete idiot that I cannot figure out for the life of me how to transfer one stinking song that I purchased on iTunes to my iPod Touch. I have confirmed the song is in my music library, I have synced my Ipod several times. I appreciate any help on this!

    My problem is similar but broader.  At some point a few months ago, I could no longer listen to any of my purchased music on my iPod Touch.  All of the purchased music remained in my iPod music library (I can still see every song); however, none of my purchased music will play.  When my playlist reaches a purchased song, the iPod stops playing.  I've re-synced my iPod many times and the same thing occurs.  And, I've restored my iPod with the same end result. 
    One other issue that I believe may be related: I'm also noticing that some of my playlists don't show up on my iPod anymore.  All of this seems to have occurred at the same time.  And I still have 22 GB of capacity available so that isn't the issue.  Can anyone offer a solution?  I would really appreciate it. 

  • Cannot download purchases music

    I have been having a problem lately (no change in setup), where I get an error when I try to download music from the ITMS.
    When I check for purchases, I get the following error:
    There was an error downloading your purchased music. The disk could not be read from or written to. <<<</div>
    Ignoring the grammer error in the message, I am wondering what I am doing wrong, or if this is a new iTunes 7 issue (I cannot work with version 7, and use version 6 instead. I have no issues with the disk...

    hmmmm. is your download location on a network drive, John? If so, by way of experiment, can the download go through if you shift the location to your C drive? <<<</div>
    Yes, it is, and good thinking. I have already tried this, and still did not get it to work.
    Now, in the meantime, I have an open ticket from Apple Support, and here is their (not) helpful reply:
    I apologize for any inconvenience you have experienced with this issue. I understand you are receiving the error "The disk could not be read from or written to."
    However, the nature of your question falls outside the type of support provided via email by iTunes Store Customer Support. I can only answer non-technical questions about billing, customer accounts, downloading purchases, and iTunes Store content.
    If you require more in-depth assistance, you will need to call Apple technical support (there may be a fee associated with the call). <<<<
    I think that response takes the cake. "I can't help you, but if you call, maybe someone can, and please have your credit card available?" What sort of support is that for not being able to download music that I purchased. I am begining to rethink the whole matter of buying music from Apple -- alot of hassle, not very good quality sound, and now no support
