ITunes WiFi music store - Unable to Download Song
Hi, All -
When I have tried to use the iTunes wifi music store off my home network connection it will seem to download, but it won't finish. I get a window saying "Unable to Download Song. This item will be available for download when you log in to the iTunes Store on your computer." Doesn't that kind of defeat the purpose of the whole wifi store. Why can't I download to my iPod Touch for instant gratification and enjoyment? Am I doing something incorrectly? Do I need to tweak the configuration.
Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
I had this a few hours ago downloading a whole album of 14 tracks. Eventually by "tapping to retry" all of them finished downloading. Some I had to tap at least half a dozen times to finish downloading. I have previously downloaded at least a couple of dozen tracks with no problem so I think this is a problem at the store (at least the UK store) at the moment.

ITunes WiFi Music Store not working
I got my iPod touch about a week ago, and I have been very pleased with it - apart from the iTunes WiFi Music Store. At the moment, I am travelling across the USA, where I picked up my iPod. During the time I have been travelling (about 2 weeks), I have managed to use all the features on the iPod successfully, except the iTunes music store. I have been connected to several different wireless networks, from which I could access all features (maps, YouTube, stocks etc.), with the exception of the iTunes WiFi music store. This isn't such a problem, as I don't use iTunes, but as I have paid for this feature, I would like to use it.
Does anybody have any solutions to this, with the exception of restoring the iPod?I started using my iPod on my uncle's computer, as I am abroad at the moment, but I am going to sync it with my computer when I get home. I'm not really interested in purchasing songs from iTunes, I just wanted to have a look at the app - but I have to have a registered iTunes account on my computer for this to work? If it takes that much efforrt, I don't think it's worth it.
Thanks for your help, everyone. -
Dropping Purchases on iTunes WiFi Music Store
When I've purchased a song on the WiFi store I get prompted for my password, it then downloads a couple hundred KBs and comes up with a dialog saying "All iTunes downloads have been completed on your computer".
This is really frustrating as I use the WiFi store so I can listen to songs instantly instead of waiting until the weekend to use my Mac at home. Am stuck using a PC for college
Anyone know what the problem is?That was seriously the weirdest f*ing thing I have ever seen. I literally looked one more time on iTunes WIFI store and there they were. But, I swear to god they were not there 10 minutes ago when I posted this, and I have never seen them before until now.
Anyway, thanks! -
I am not an iPhone owner, but I am highly interested in it. Does anyone know if the iPhone allows you to buy songs from the iTunes wifi music store over an edge network?
Its a bandwidth concern. EDGE is remarkably slower than WiFi, so downloading a single song could take upwards of 10 minutes.
That would be over an hour and a half for an average album. Just not feasible. -
WiFi Music Store Release Data?
I thought in the keynote address it was announced that "next week when you sync you iPhone the iTunes WiFi button will appear". It has been 2 weeks since then, and I was just wondering if anyone had any information on when this is actually going to occur.
Thanks for any information you have!Your recollection is incorrect. The actual statement was nearing the end of the iPod touch presentation, where Jobs revealed that the iTunes WiFi Music Store was also being brought to the iPhone. The statement was, "...available a little later this month.", and also the follow-up, "...the next time you sync your iPhone...". This was referring to iTunes triggering a software update for the iPhone during sync (after the actual release) that would install and activate the feature.

Download error/unable to download song from itunes?
I bought songs from itunes store but i can not get them downloded. What I have to do? I have this message showing under the title"download error. Tap to try"
And anotner message appears: Unable to download song, "name of song" could not be downloaded at this time . Have 2 choice tick done or retry but always message comes up after several try... Would be happy if someone could help. Many thanks!Hi All,
I see this is very old post, however only as of a couple of months back i'm getting a very similar fault.
I run an iPhone 6 Plus, iPad Mini 2 (cellular) and a Macbook Pro - all using the same iTunes account for my iTunes Match. When the devices are connected to the home Wifi (SKY BROADBAND) not a single problem with the service - However when i attempt to use iTunes match on any device via 3G/4G the devices will skip songs 99% of the time and also not be able to stream previews from the iTunes store.
I find if i have one of the devices on 3G/4G and turn iTunes match off and back on again, it may be able to stream a few songs ok. However this won't last for too long, and before long the issue will return.
From a very broad perspective, you'd think that the issue is with the Cellular Service Provider (EE UK), but i've been in contact with their technical team, and are unable to find any issues on their end, as the phone and iPad are both connected OK to the internet via 3G/4G.
I'm a Technical Analyst by profession, and have tried adjusting all settings, and turning accounts off and back on in different orders to try and find a pattern, but i'm left completely stumped.
Does anyone have a resolution for this?!
Please Please Help!!
Kindest Regards,

I've purchased a few dozen songs from itunes on my iphone. A few of these songs will not download properly and I keep getting a "unable to download song" message. My account info is correct and full signal. It seems to continually keep trying to download but cannot. Please help!
i do understand that. if you purchased the music on the phone. its still available to you. if you go in itunes on your computer. go to purchases. there should be all the music you have purchased. there you can download the song if it isn't already and then sync it to your phone which will add the song to the phone. have you tried to power off phone and then try to download again. the itunes way is just another option.

Hi, I've setup my new mini ipad today, restored a backup from icloud and all is fine. However, when I try to download my music, they almost completely download then an error message pops up saying "unable to download songs" - can anyone help please?
So it appears iCloud/iTunes Match isn't the issue - the error message would seem to be complaining about where the music is being downloaded to. So with this in mind:
In iTunes select Preferences and select Advanced. The iTunes media folder should be set to /Users/<your account>/Music/iTunes/iTunes Music. <your account> would be whatever your user account is. If you see something else there I'd guessing it is a folder you don't have permission to write to. -
WiFi Music Store Purchases Fail To Download
My very first attempt to purchase music on my iPhone through the iPhone iTunes WiFi Music App caused, and continues to cause, me much frustration and disappointment.
Background: I purchase music from iTunes on my MacBook Pro just fine, and my iPhone is synced with iTunes from my MacBook Pro and so my iPhone is well aware of my iTunes account info, etc.
After some playing around and experimenting, it seems that I can purchase and download (on my iPhone, using the WiFi iTunes app) "regular" songs just fine, but "iTunes Plus" songs cause a problem. The music I first attempted to purchase was "iTunes Plus", and all attempts to purchase any iTunes Plus music fails in the same manner.
I touch the button to buy, I enter my account password when prompted, the red bubble bounces down onto the Downloads button, and after about 1 full second the red bubble disappears. I touch the Downloads button and there is nothing there. No purchase occurred, and I never get billed. It's as if iTunes Plus songs cannot be purchased on the iPhone using the WiFi iTunes app.
Can anyone please tell me if there is some problem or known limitation? Am I doing something wrong?Ummm... Thanks, I think, but this didn't address my problem. I'm not a novice user, and I already know everything this article says.
What I do not know, and am having trouble with, is why I cannot purchase and download iTunes Plus content, when "regular" content purchases download without issue. Given that regular content purchases download without issue, it isn't my iPhone, my iTunes account, my WiFi connection -- what is the problem with purchasing and downloading iTunes Plus content reliably? -
I am trying to download music on to my 4th gen Ipod touch but it keeps saying that It is unable to download song/ could not download at this time. Can anyone tell me how to download my music?
Try This...
Close All Open Apps... Sign Out of your Account... Perform a Reset... Try again...
Reset ( No Data will be Lost )
Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
Wait for the Apple logo to Appear...
Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... (But can take Longer..)
Release the Buttons... -
TS1424 "Unable to Download Song" message in iTunes app on iPod Touch?
I did look to see if this question was posted anywhere else, but did not see it. So if it has already been answered, my apologies.
I am hooked up to the wireless, logged into iTunes, credit card good to go. Every time I go to download a song, it stops with "download error" and then another message pops up stating "Unable to Download song" and that it could not be downloaded at this time. I've tried downloading other songs and the same thing happens.I've been getting this problem too, seems the album/song as noted is corrupted (I did stop it halfway into downloadign when I was in Spain and didn't have a ton of bandwidth). I just need to delete this error message.
As seen here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/18244258#18244258
Swipe the failing song horizontally to get the red Delete option, then delete.
So easy once you know, no?
Once that failed "in progress" download was deleted, I asked iTunes to re-download it and it went through just fine. -
Hi guys,
I need some everytime I try to download a song purchase from itunes I get the error message. 'Unable to Download Song' could not be downloaded at this time. I cannot even sync with itunes on the PC.
Kind regards
IanOne correction, from the icloud I was not able to listed to the entire song. So when you purchased the song if it wasn't downloaded to your library, chances are you have lost your opportunity to listen to it.

Sounds like you have abn expired credit card linked o yoru accopunt.
View your iTunes account payment info and select None for the CC.
You may need to first add a valid card number before you can remove it. -
"Unable to download song" iPad 4
Please Help! I have purchased an iPad 4 and I set it up using iCloud, it is mostly ok but I have tried everything and I CAN NOT download any of my music or buy any from the store! I just get the message: "unable to download song at this time" Retry or Cancel, there is no explanation, or reason. I have tried it using the cloud and tried syncing with the PC , on the PC the songs are 'ghosted' and according to the iPad iTunes is Empty.
Could it be a faulty iPad?? I can download Apps, and if I download an app to the iPhone it appears on the iPad, just not any music!!! I can download as normal to my iPhone.My issue was resolved after a couple of hours on the phone to apple support, I had to do a full re-set of the iPad and set it up as new. The only thought they had was that the original iPad seat up was somehow corrupted as it set up over icloud.

Unable to download song message on my iphone 4 (only 1 song from an album)
I purchased an album from the iTunes and 1 song out of the whole album keeps saying "Unable to download song"
It also appears that that song is indeed already downloaded ?I have the same issue, and reported it over 2 weeks ago, but if you read all the topics on this forum it is clear it is a widespread issue, and they don't know how to fix it.
Come on Apple, this is silly now, iPhone 5's are not cheap and too have no music at all is pretty bad! Even my 5 year old Nokia can do that!
