my music won't download to iPhone from icloud

I'm having the same problem. I have checked the status and it says the location of the song is in iCloud. When I click on the cloud next to the song, not thing happens. It's been like that for 3 days. It does say it's "waiting"
Also, when I manually add album art, nothing happens. Still shows the generic iTunes icon.

My iPhone won't download my game from iCloud on my computer

I deleted a game, cause it was lagging. I tried to reload it, but it does not appear when I search apps. In fact when I search nothing comes up. Blank screen. I can find the game when I search in purchased. It's in the cloud. But when I try to get it from the cloud, the icon turns and turns for minutes, but still no game. How do I get my favorite game on my iPhone. Going crazy.

Try installing it manually, as outlined in link below. .

Some songs won't download or play from iCloud

So I recently subscribed to iTunes Match to convert about 700 old songs from Protected AAC 128kbps to the DRM free 256. Anyway most of it went over just fine (besides iTunes crashing 20 times while uploading to Match), I converted almost all my old songs to new "Matched" versions, but about 45 songs got stuck and are "grayed out". I can't download or play them. Here is an example:
[IMG]http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h58/jumpinstocktoyotas/itunesissue.jpg[/IMG]
Rest of the album downloaded fine but that song is stuck. Almost every album that I "matched" has at least one song like this.
Please help! I am getting very tired of all the issues with my apple products. These stuck songs, album artwork disapearing, play counts reseting, albums not grouping together properly, iTunes crashing while uploading to Match, my iPod touch crashing while listening to music... About to drop apple all together.
PC is Windows 8 64bit, iTunes is version 11.0.2.26.
Thank you.

Think I found a clue, I backed up all my DRM protected files before I started incase something like this happened. For some reason the songs that won't match are showing as purchased by my brother, but I know this isn't possible. Look at the link to the pic below, The first track (on top) is showing purchased by my brother, but the entire rest of the album is shwowing purchsed by me. So I'm supposed to believe that he bought one song on the exact same day at the exact same time as I bought the rest of the album? Something is off here...

Many albums are doing this, showing one song being bought a different account as the rest of the album, even though time a date purchsed lines up exactly...

My iPhone 5 was reset by mistake now my music won't download which I'd purchased from iTunes and I tried buying another tune on iTunes , it won't download to my phone but it downloaded to my ipad3

Hi can anyone help please, my iPhone 5 was reset by mistake and now my music will not download to it even though it was bought from iTunes, i purchased another song with my iphone5 and it won't download ether to my phone but has downloaded to my ipad3

Try force-closing the music app on your iPad by double-tapping the home button, swiping up on the preview above the music app, then tap the home button again. Then reset the iPad by holding the power and home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo, then release. When it restarts go to Settings>iTunes & App Store, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in. Then try downloading the songs from iCloud again.

IPhone 5 apps and music won't download. Both say waiting

My iPhone 5 running iOS 7 latest beta won't download apps. My phone worked just fine yesterday then today my apps won't download or update and my music won't download it stays in the "waiting" status and I've done hard reset logged in and out of my Apple ID and nothing changes.

No official way to fix this until the full version of iOS 7 is out in mid September, but for now the quick way to download and update is to do the following:
•Hold your finger on the icon of the app that is stuck on waiting, until wiggle mode is enabled, and remove the app
•Plug in your iOS device to iTunes and sync
•Reinstall the application from the App Store and installs and upgrades should work again
•If not, rinse and repeat this process

Just had replacement iPhone 4S but my music won't download?

Just had replacement iPhone 4S but my music won't download? All my purchased albums are showing on iTunes Store and my iPad but won't download onto new iphone. I just bought another album on my phone and that won't download either. My phone is on IOS 6.1.3 iPad is on IOS 7.0.4

You can try resetting your iPhone by simultaneously pressing and holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple Logo. This can take up to 15 seconds so be patient and don't release the buttons until the logo appears.
Try again to see if the problem persists.

My purchased music won't download when I click on the cloud icon

I bought a few songs on my iPad and synced it on my computer. After syncing it shows on my iPad that I need to download the songs. When I click to download it doesn't. I synced my iPod and iPhone from my computer after I synced my iPad to update my playlists and the songs downloaded on them no problem. I've tried several times to sync my iPad and even removed the songs and synced again and they show up the same way - they need to be downloaded from the cloud but when I do, it doesn't work.

Music won't download on all my devices via iCloud. Help?

Hi, I have an iPad 2 and an iPhone 4 and I depend a lot of iCloud. I would be lost without it. One annoying thing that is happening is that when I purchase music on my iPhone, it won't download automatically on my iPad. And the other way around. If I purchase music on my iPad it doesn't automatically download on my iPhone.
I have checked the setting in Settings>Store>Automatic downloads. On both devices, all 3 (music, apps, books) are all ON.
The feature works with books and apps. If I purchase an app or book on one device, it automatically appears on the other. It's just annoying that music won't download.
The apps and books even download on my PC when I open iTunes. But music never downloads. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Most likely those missing songs were purchased under a different account.

When viewing picture on iPhone from iCloud does it download onto my phone

A download to your HD will use space on your HD. As to the 5gb limit "because of the way iCloud stores your content. Your purchased music, apps, and books, as well as your Photo Stream, don’t count against your free storage."

My iPod nano 4th generation won't download newer podcasts from iTunes

my ipod nano 4th generation won't download newer podcasts from itunes

If you use automatic syncing, select the iPod in iTunes. There is a row of "tabs" (starting with Summary). Click on Podcasts there. This is the Podcasts tab, where you tell iTunes how to sync podcasts.
Sync Podcasts is checkmarked for automatic syncing. Below that, set up the Podcasts tab to sync podcasts as desired. For example, you can set it to Automatically include all unplayed episodes of selected podcasts. The "all unplayed" option gets new podcasts episodes to sync automatically. Select the podcasts below.
When you click Apply, your selection on the Podcasts tab (and the other tabs... Music, Books, etc.) sync to the iPod. If the iPod was NOT previously set to use automatic syncing, its existing content is replaced.

I have the same problem on my Windows 7 computer. In the right-click menu for a song one option is DELETE. However when I click that option the next window is to HIDE instead of DELETE. Apple, please help us with this.

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.

How can I restore my iPhone from icloud with 2 different accounts?

I have two accounts. When I restore my iPhone from icloud with account A, the apps I bought with account B cannot be restored. What can I do?

The iCloud account is different from the iTunes store account, although you can use the same ID for both. in your case you can only use one iTunes account at a time to get previously bought apps, music, etc.Once you change to the other one, the stuff from the first account is deleted. In other words you can only realistically use one iTunes account. The same goes with iCloud. you must now decide which account for iTunes you want to stick with. apple does not let you merge two iTunes accounts.
