My iTunes music purchases are Unable to Download
I have purchased an album in the ITunes Store and all the songs are unable to download. I have signed in and out of my apple Id and have turned my IPad on and off. I have no other apps or songs that are downloading. I am stumped at what to do now.
Why don't you try downloading a free app and see what happens. Are you sure that you don't have a stalled book or podcast download that could be hanging up the download?
You can try quitting the iTunes app and restart the iPad and see if the download will resume.
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar. Restart the iPad.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button. Then check the download in iTunes.

How do I re-download iTunes Music purchases that did not download completely?
Hi there, I have purchased quite a few music tracks that did not download properly, i.e. they only downloaded partially.
How can I re-dowload these tracks please?Welcome to Apple Support Communities
You can redownload all your purchases through iTunes. See -> Download past purchases - Apple Support -
I have old email address's I used for iTune music purchases and cannot change password on several old accounts. Now some of the music I purchased I can not download and authorize it on my device. What can I do password security does not match my birthdate on two of the accounts. Apple can not send me email with a password authorization on several current accounts that I have with them. How can I contact Apple with this annoying problem I can not fix.
settings - app/iTunes store - sign out and sign back in with your new id.
Note - if your older apps needs an update it will use your old apple id and password, as Apps are tied to the apple id that was used to purchase it.
You can't merge apple id. -
Problem in using 2 IDs for iTunes music purchase downloads and using iTunes Match for 1 ID
Dear support managers,
We are using 1 macbook pro and 2 apple ID for purchasing iTunes music together (Me and my wife).
Actually, I have bought 1 year service of iTunes match on my apple ID and have been using well the service after download the purchased musics under the apple ID I am using.
But once my wife associated the macbook pro with her apple ID to download the musics she purchased,
I have not been able to use the iTunes Match service I have subscribed already.
The message said
"This computer is already associated with an Apple ID. You can use iTunes Match on this computer with just one Apple ID every 90 days. You cannot associate this computer with a different Apple ID for 90 days"
I can neither purchase another computer for solving this situation nor want to purchase another iTunes Match service on my wife's apple ID.
Please help me out to solve this issue.
Thanks and best regards,Hi,
You can only use one Apple ID with iTunes match. Purchasing another match subscription using wife's Apple ID is not a solution. I can only suggest that you use your ID for match and all iTunes music purchases.

Hi! I'm getting a "not currently available" message when trying to download old itunes music purchases to new "authorized" computer. I was able to download the first 500 songs no problem, but now I keep getting the "not currently available" message. Can u help? Thnx!
Hey SDGardella,
Thanks for the question. I understand that you are receiving error 499 when attempting to download purchases from the iTunes Store. The following resource outlines this error message:
iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3297
"Error 499"
This alert occurs due to security software. Follow iTunes for Windows: Troubleshooting security software issues.
Thanks,

The itunes music store is unable to process purchases at this time.
Any body getting this message b/c it is really frustrating when i want to buy mausic and this message pops up. everything is current and up2date. i got an e-mail from i-tunes telling me that the problem has been fixed, so i went to buy some songs today and the message came up again. what 2 do? "The itunes music store is unable to process purchases at this time. Credit card processing is temporarily unavailable."
I have the same problem, too. I was using paypal, but switched my account from paypal to mastercard, still no go. I can't believe there is no phone or web chat help from apple. Hope they choke to death on their iPod Nano profits. HIRE CUSTOMER SERVICE REPS AND TAKE CARE OF YOUR CURRENT, PAYING CUSTOMERS. There are alternatives out there...

Hi guys...I have just got a new computer and want to get my library back up and running on it. However I seem to be missing some of my iTunes music purchases. Any ideas on how to get them back? They show up on my ipad but not my actual itunes account.
Hello there, Capricious13.
There are great pointers in the following Knowledge Base article. Depending on where you see the content and where you want to get it to, this should guide you to putting it in the right place:

My iTune music files are all shown as WMA files
When I open iTunes, I was reminded that my default audio player was not iTunes. I previously did not want to use iTunes as default because I like to choose manually when I play audio files. But there have been a lot problems with my iTunes, I decided to use iTunes as default player. I changed the system setting to use iTunes as the default. But when I open up iTunes, I got that message. I clicked OK to choose iTunes as default player. The following warning tells me that I do not have the priviledge to do that.
Most odd is that all my music files in iTunes Music folder are all shown as WMA files. Even the files I used iTunes to rip from my CD are shown as WMA. I suspect the Gates company somehow tweeked the XP not accepting iTunes as default player to frustrate less-a-computer-geeks like me.
There is one more problem. The iTunes Music File folder is all messed up. Songs of the same album get spread out in different subfolders. Many songs of the same album show up in iTunes as individual albums in the coverflow view. It seems that I can't download any album art from iTunes.
Any help will be appreciated.Well if you have songs from the same album that are not being listed together in itunes theres one or the other happening and it depends on if all the songs are from the same artist or different artist
Same Artist
Lets say for example you have one album from....Madonna. So all tracks on the album are from the same artist. If these songs are not listing/grouped together something is wrong with the songs tags. The tags have to be EXACTLY the same on all tracks/songs of the album. You do this by rightclicking the song and hitting "Get Info"
Different artist
This is known as a compliation album, usually soundtracks and dance mix albums where you have one album and each song is by a different artist. In this case you need to highlight all tracks that are apart of the album THEN rightclick and hit "Get Info". At the bottom select "Yes" under compilation and hit OK, this will group all songs under the same album -

TS1717 how to restore my itunes music library when an apple download stuffs up
how to restore my itunes music library when an apple download malfunctions
Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
When you get it all working make a backup!

I have an iPhone 4. I recently updated. It loaded all my iTunes music purchases but not the music I had on my computer. This music was on my iPhone before I updated. I have tried re-sycing but not getting anywhere. Says it cannot locate my music files but I see it on my lap top but cannot play it or get it on my iPhone. Can anyone walk me through this?

Thanks. I have followed all the instructions as recommended and nothing has worked so it looks like the restore/update may have been interrupted - would loss of internet connection do this?
Yes it would, possibly even brick it.
Have successfully connected my ipod nano with iTunes so looks like the device driver is working.
Can I use my ipod nano USB connector to check?
It is not much help to you, since the device that you need still not recognized.
Anyway looks like I may have to swallow the loss of data. Have set-up a call for tomorrow with Apple support so will wait until after this before doing the factory restore!
Good luck, but if you expect miracle from that call good luck again. -

ITunes LP purchased and unable to burn onto a CD to play in my car?!?
iTunes LP purchased and unable to burn onto a CD to play in my car. I have searched and read every question in the Apple Support Communities and so far no answer has been given. Please help!
If the steps in the Apple article didn't solve the problem, some people have found the advice in this post works for them. I Think you can start at step 5 then 9.
