My songs from iTunes won't download, I went to the downloads tap and all seven of my new songs say "download error, tap to retry" and when I tap on one a message pops up saying " this song could not be downloaded at this time". What do I do?

My songs from iTunes won't download. I recently just purchased 7 songs and they took my money but now the songs won't download to my phone. I have gone to the download screen on the iTunes app and under each song it says "download error. Tap to retry". When I tap to retry a song a message pops up saying "this song could not be downloaded at this time." And it gives me two options. Either done or retry. I have tried to download them many times. I signed out and signed back in on iTunes, restarted my phone, and even checked for any updates. Nothing seems to be working. They charged the money from my card but now my songs won't download. What do I do?

Hello Bdev15,
I would be concerned too if the songs I purchased from iTunes were not downloading to my iPhone. You have taken some great troubleshooting steps already, and thank you for providing the details of the steps you too.  I have a few additional suggestions to get it downloaded to your iPhone.
First, I recommend checking to see if the download was interrupted:
If your download was interrupted using your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
From the Home screen, tap the iTunes app.
For iPhone or iPod touch, tap More > Downloads. For iPad, tap Downloads.
Enter your account name and password if prompted.
Tap the blue download arrow to resume.

If the songs still do not download, next I recommend downloading the songs when connected to another network.  For example, if you are using the cellular network, you could switch to Wi-Fi, or you could try an alternate Wi-Fi network.  Follow the steps in the section titled "iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch > Music" in the article below to download the songs:

If you are still not able to download the songs, you can report an issue with these purchases using the steps in this article:

    "This ipad could not be synced because this computer is no longer authorized with that purchased item on this ipad"
              I did authorized in the store, but still did not transfer to the mac. Could you please to tell me what should I do it? Please let me know that as soon as possible.

    Thank you

    The iPad is fine.  But the computer you're syncing with needs to be authorised with the Apple ID that was used to buy the material on the iPad.  You do this by picking the 'Authorize' item from the menu in iTunes and entering the account name and password.

  • HT201272 I purchased songs from iTunes Radio on my iPhone, but now the only place they will show up is in the iTunes Store app on my phone, even after syncing to my computer a million times, the songs do not show up in my library or anywhere else.

    I purchased songs from iTunes Radio on my iPhone, but now the only place they will show up is in the iTunes Store app on my phone, even after syncing to my computer a million times, the songs do not show up in my library or anywhere else. My phone is not syncing properly, I wanted to add another playlist to it that I created on my Mac. I pluged in my phone and made sure the playlist I wanted to add was checked to be on my phone when I synced.
    The playlist I wanted to add was "Country." It is clearly checked. I also wanted to add the "Recently Added" playlist, which I also checked before sycing. Currently, my phone only has the "Purchased" playlist and my "All Songs" playlist on it. When I hit sync, iTunes added another playlist automatically added another playlist to the list above and checked it. It was titled "ALL SONGS 1" and had ten fewer songs in it than the playlist I had created, "ALL SONGS" had. This playlist, however does not show up on my phone after syncing, nor does "Country" or "Recently Added." (Every time I sync, another playlist is created as "ALL SONGS 2, 3, 4, etc.") One of the songs (I have not, yet checked the other songs) that I purchased from within iTunes Radio shows up in the "ALL SONGS 1" on this screen:
    But does not show up anywhere else. This playlist does not show up anywhere but the two screens above. The ALL SONGS 1 or 2 playlists do not show up here:
    When I search for those song in my library, it shows that I do not have them:
    But if I go to the iTunes store, I get the play button and not the price of the song:
    This is what things look like from my phone's side of things:
    "Summertime Sadness," one of the songs I bought from iTunes Radio, does not show up in the iTunes store under purchased "All" or "Not on This iPhone"
    But, it does show up under "Recent Purchases"
    Also, this is what playlists are on my phone after syncing a million times:
    Only what was on there before I started any of this. "Summertime Sadness" and the other songs I bought from inside iTunes Radio, do not show up in either of these playlists. Please, help me.

  • "This task could not be updated at this time" Error in Outlook 2010 on Workflow Form

    Hi,
    I have setup a workflow to send task notifications to users and am getting an error when attempting to act on the InfoPath based workflow task form that appears in Outlook 2010 when clicking on the "Edit this task" button.  After clicking Approve, the
    form disappears, but after a few seconds a dialog box appears that says:
    "This task could not be updated at this time"
    The funny thing is that the task actually does get updated, but there is often a delay in doing so.  Does this warning appear because the server has a backup of workflow items to deal with?  I saw that in 2007 it meant something wasn't properly
    installed with InfoPath, but I am not sure if that is the case here or not.  Any guidance would be appreciated.
    I am using Office 2010 and SharePoint Server 2010.

    I have the same issue. If I had to guess it's because the workflow in question goes stale and has to recompile, thus it times out on the client even thou it gets submitted to the server so it eventually processes.
    Now either they need a longer time out fix, or we need some way to keep the workflow actively in memory somehow on our end for it to not do it. Preferably the longer timeout method would be best to save on ram, but I bet in bigger environments or workflows
    that get used often this won't be the issue.
    You can pretty much reproduce this if you have 2 tasks from the same workflow, the first one will give the error. then after that if you wait a minute for the workflow to get going, then close your 2nd task, it will be instant. So it's something with the
    way it's getting garbage collected and having to recompile that's causing this delay with the client and a timeout just needs extended or something to give the server a chance to finish loading up the workflow.
    Also there is a good article explaining reasons and solutions:

  • Downloaded Songs From iTunes Won't Play

    I downloaded three songs from iTunes. The songs were downloading, and stalled during processing. I restarted iTunes canceling the downloads. When I went back to re-download, it told me that the songs had already been purchased. I checked for the purchases, and they showed up on the document. However, they still did not show up in my download list. So, I redownloaded them. They downloaded fully, but now they will not play. All my other songs play fine, including songs downloaded during the same period. Why aren't these songs playing?

    Hi there jayc401,
    You may want to try deleting those tracks from the device and downloading them again from the iTunes Store. Take a look at the article below for more information.

    is there anyway i can get all my downloaded songs from itunes onto my ipad?

    If you cannot powerup the phone, there would be no way to recover the photos from the device. Have you tried to just connect it to the computer? If the photos are that important, have you considered possibly a 3rd party repair to just fix the screen so you can access the device, or was there more broken than the screen?

  • This iphone could not be synced because this computer is no longer authorised but i try again and it says already authorised

    I am trying to sync my iphone 4 to my computer ( Windows 7 64 bit ) so I can update my apps. when I connect my phone to the computer, a window pos up with the following . . . . . . . . .
    this iphone 'colin's iphone' could not be synced because this computer is no longer authorised for purchased items that are on this phone
    to authorise this computer for items purchased from the itunes store, choose store > authorise this computer OK.
    I click on Store, authorise... type in apple id... type in password... click on authorise
    It then says.... this computer is already authorised.... including this one, you have authorised one computer out of your available 5.
    I unplug my phone and plug it in again and it does exactly the same again???
    I'm just going around in circles???

    I found the solution to this problem
    the apple service helped me actually
    the best and the esiest way is to solve this problem  :
    create a new account (as an administator recomended) 
    Bonjour  servises must be enabled ( go to control panel > administartive  tools> sevices> Bounjour services (change the category to large  icons if you dont see administartive tools )
    install itunes
    sign in
    authorize
    SYNC
    it must sync normally
    but  if the meesage pops up that points on a particular items that could not  be synced ( to ur itunes because you are not authorized for this items )  REMOVE THEM
    creating a new user account shows the items wich dont let you sync your iPhone
    after you REMOVE those **** items that were not authorised , you can go to your old user account and SYNC it as old kind time
    was  having this problem 2 weeks , and nothing helped except this was. not  deleting the SC Info folder, now copying apple folder to some other  mobile divce folder
    REMEMBER  the problem is in your iPhone , it is about the items that are in your iPhone
    Thanks to Apple service
    for anyone who needs othe heple you r welcome to ask
    will hepl you with a pleassure cause i know how I felt this days:)

  • TS3683 I get the error message "backup of this ipad could not be saved to this computer" when trying to backup by ipad.  Why and how do I fix?

    I am trying to backup my ipad to my computer.  It goes through the process, but then tells me a backup could not be saved on my computer.  I have a previous backup on here, so it worked at one time a few months ago.  I've got the latest version of iTunes and even uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes.  Why is this happening and how do I fix it?

    Did you try what was suggested on that page i.e. disconnecting the iPad from your computer and turning the iPad off (press and hold the sleep/wake button until the red 'slide to power off' appears on screen and slide that) and then back on ?
    And if the backup doesn't work after that then try a soft-reset instead of the off and on : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
