No ALBUM from Pre-order of RHCP

I pre-ordered The new Chili Peppers CD, I have recieved my ticket code and all but iTunes has not downloaded the CD yet. What is the deal? I tried checking for purchased music and nothing came up.

Two things. First, got an e-mail from Apple. Here's what they say:
Thank you for pre-ordering Stadium Arcadium. Customer interest in this album far outweighed our projections. We know you are anxious to receive this new album and we're working to get it to you as quickly as possible.
Your album should be available to download in the next 4-8 hours. When your pre-order is available, iTunes will automatically send an email to your registered email address. Make sure your email address is up-to-date in your Account Information screen. To launch iTunes and open the Account Information screen, click the link below.

Please reply to this email if you do not receive your pre-order notification today.
We sincerely apologize for the delay and thank you for being an iTunes Music Store customer.
Sincerely,
Scott

It's been about 6 hours, and still the same error, so no luck so far.
Second, I actually want to get the album pre-order with the pre-order exclusives. Honestly, I couldn't care less about the code since they are not coming near my home and I don't want to shell out for bad tickets since all the good ones were taken by the fan club. To me, the fact that I cannot get the album that is clearly on sale is more irritating than not being given the code.

  • Merging advance track from pre-order with album

    I pre-ordered Memory Almost Full by P. McCartney and got the album's second track in advance. The full album was released today. I downloaded the album and merged the advance track (#2 on the full album)
    I changed the track info to track 2 along with the album title and etc. and quadruple-checked that all info in all fields is correct.
    Yet, the track will not appear between tracks 1 & 3 in I-Tunes. It appears after the last track. I have tried everything with no luck. The only way to get the tracks in the correct order is to create a playlist, but I shouldn't have to do this. The phone techs are clueless. Any ideas.

    It's strange - i have also experienced this, but i simply deleted the whole album from iTunes, then re-imported it manually. It's as though the date added is being sorted or something; i don't really know, but hope that helps!

  • How can I retrieve a song from a album I pre-ordered?

    I pre-order a new album, and one of the songs came out. It says it purchased, but it's is not in my music library.

  • Songs from albums I pre-ordered aren't contained in the full album, Why?

    I've pre-ordered or pre-purchased music singles for albums that later were released. When the pre-order was available or I purchased the entire album the singles that I had initially purchased are not included in the album and I can't get them to appear in the album.
    I called support and they had me delete the album and then re-download it but same issue, it wouldn't download the pre-ordered songs.  Now it even shows them as Purchased but provides no options to download them.
    Very frustrated and they weren't much help.  Maybe someone here can...
    Thanks
    The example below shows the Lorde album that I purchased. It is missing songs #1 and #3 which are contained in the singles of other albums.

    I have the exact same problem. I guess iTunes wants us to edit the pre-album singles info to make them appear in the albums but it's stupid. Some singles are even re-edited or re-mixed for the album versions, they're not even the same songs.

  • An album I pre-ordered now shows up as purchased, but not in purchase

    I bought the Marshall Mathers LP 2 Deluxe version in pre-order, but now that it is released, it isn't shown in my purchase history.  However, the album displays the purchased icon where the price usually is.  At first I accidentally pre-ordered the wrong version of the album, but cancelled that and got the correct one

    Hello Alyssa420,
    It sounds like you are trying to download your pre ordered album but are unable to download it. I would reach out to our iTunes store support by reporting a problem with the purchase with this article:

  • How do I setup my album for Pre-Orders?

    I am a musician who is trying to create a pre-order for my releases on iTunes.
    The only companies I know of that have this 'pre-release" service is either Ditto Music, or Bandcamp, which doesn't support iTunes distribution.
    I am simply trying to create an iTunes pre-order for my album, that is already completed, and ready to upload.

  • Can't download album i pre-ordered?

    I pre-ordered You Me At Six's new album,  and it was released on the 27th January,  but it just says 'purchsed' and won't let me download it. I read another persons similar question but they had to click a link in an email they received saying the album was realsed, but I never got that email. Do you know how I would resend that email to myself?

  • Jacob -iPhone 4s FAQ needs to be changed from Pre-Order to Wait-Listed

    Jacob,
    Now that we are more than 10 past the release date, I think the public has caught on to the fact the phones are already out.
    You should change to "WaitListed".  Pre-order implies advance sale through Best Buy.  Since people have generally better luck going to other retailers, I don't think this applies anymore. 

    I guess technically it is a "pre-order" in a sense they were ordered before they were available. The problem is the pre-order was not necessary. In fact, it delayed how soon you could obtain the new IPhone if you waited for Best Buy. 

  • HT201272 Trying to download an album I pre-ordered...

    Everytime I click the link from the email it says I need to verify my billing info. Have done a few times, even switched cards and everything. Shut down iTunes, restarted and still the same problem occuring. Not showing up in my purchased playlist in my library or as iCloud items.
    The only thing I can think of is that I have a credit on my account from a past gift card and maybe that has something to do with it...?

  • Pre-ordering albums and already owned Singles

    I have bought songs that have been released as singles, and will be featured on a full length album soon. If I pre-order the album, will I be double charged for the songs I bought as singles but will be featured on the album?

    Pre-ordering is simple. You pre-order the album. You're not billed until the album is released. If there is any content related to the album, available for download at the time, you will get to download it. You will receive more than one email confirmation(date of pre-order, updates regarding pre-order, day before release, and day of release). It's true that there is no set time for the final email, but you will get one. You still have until you actually download the completed album to back out of the purchase. If you decide to back out, you will only be charged if there was earlier content available(at the time of pre-order). All new music availability is Tuesdays, weekly. It is available for download at exactly Midnight, meaning 12:00 am, Tuesday morning. Trust me. I download on my iPhone, via iTunes WIFI Store, every Tuesday morning at 12:15 am.

  • Paul McCartney Pre-Order Problem with Sorting

    I pre-ordered the new McCartney album last week (at which point it downloaded the "Ever Present Past" single) and when it became available today I downloaded the rest fine, except "Ever Present Past" (which should be song number 2) had a different album title ("Ever Present Past Single" or something like that) and thus didn't sort correctly with the rest of the album... so I edited the track to match the same album name and correct track number (being very careful to make sure that all of the fields in the Get Info window match the other tracks, and that there are no invisible spaces throwing it off), but it refuses to sort with the rest of the album... even tried to rebuild the iTunes Library file but that didn't work either... just curious if anyone else has a similar problem and/or a possible solution. Thanks.

    This is ridiculous that this issue isn't being
    > addressed. Same problem here, and I guarantee that
    > I'm not alone.
    Check out the emails I got from Apple on this:
    "I understand that the single " Memory Almost Full" from the album you pre-ordered, will did not download with the album and now you're unable to listen to the album without it stopping to get to the single. Please note that re-downloading the album, will not resolve this issue. You are correct when you mentioned that this issue will happen because iTunes sees it as two different albums because it was downloaded separately. Don't worry. To resolve this issue, I recommend creating a playlist for the album itself. That way, you can arrange the contents of the album so that they will play without interruption.
    This article will show you how to do this:

    I hope you continue to enjoy using the iTunes Store."
    Well, that's great...so not only do I have to isolate the album from the rest of my iTunes collection, it also does nothing to fix the issue on my iPod. So I responded to them as such, and got this response:
    "You did mention very valid points when stating your disappointment with the way pre-ordered albums are downloaded and Apple recognizes that no one is better qualified to provide feedback about iTunes than the people who use it.
    I encourage you to use the iTunes Feedback page to submit your comments:
    http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html
    Your efforts to share your feedback are very much appreciated.
    I hope you continue to enjoy using the iTunes Store.
    Is this ridicuous or what? Unbelievable. If I bought a CD in a store and the tracks were incorrectly burned on the CD, the store would take it back or at least try to exchange it for a new copy that wasnt defective. This TECHNICAL ISSUE needs to be resolved.

  • RESERVING VS. PRE ORDERING?

    I have a question. I'm looking at getting an Iphone 3GS and I just RESERVED a white 16gb iPhone 3GS that means I finish for at the apple store on friday. Now I understand how this differs from pre-ordering the iPhone from At&t or apple and picking it up in stores friday but does reserving it mean I'm guaranteed that when I go to the apple store on friday afternoon they'll have an iPhone ready under my name to buy? Or because I didn't pre order it if they sell out am I out of luck? I was a little confused about all of this. If anyone knows anything about this could you please help?

    there is a chance if you reserve one that you will not get one on that day it is based on a first come first serve basis... even though the doors will open early for people who have reserved one, once it hits regular store hours the lines merge and its first come first serve from there on... but they say priority will be given to those who reserved one

  • Tamriel Unlimited Imperial Edition: In Store Pre-Order PS4

    So after noticing the collectors edition was sold out online I went into my local store and had them check the SKU and they said they could pre-order it in the store. I put some money down and get my pre-order. My question is does BestBuy tend to pre-order stuff like this without knowing if they will have stock or what? 
    He said he checked and it looked like everything looked good. 

    Hello JetBlackPanda-
    Welcome Back!  I’m glad to hear that the issues you encountered with The Witcher 3 didn’t prevent you from pre-ordering another game with Best Buy!  While I haven’t played an MMORPG in a while, Elder Scrolls Online certainly seems to have a loyal following!
    As I understand it, if the store was able to complete the pre-order in their system, they should receive the game when it releases.  When stores try to get creative to find a way to push the pre-order through, sometimes things can get dicey.  Based on my review of your pre-order receipt, it appears that the store did it correctly.
    I hope that this helps!

  • I have pre-ordered an album and all of the songs are available for download apart from one which is listed as 99p to buy?

    Hello, I hope someone can help me.
    I pre-ordered Justin Timberlake's new album and have tried to download the album today, however for some reason "Suit & Tie" is listed as unpurchased and will charge me 99p to download?
    All the other tracks have downloaded fine apart from this one.
    A couple of things I should mention in case they affect this issue:
    I am trying to download it directly to my iPhone - I have not loaded up iTunes on my PC as of yet.
    I already have the song "Suit & Tie" as a single.
    Will iTunes realise I technically already have the song so charge me less and just give me the remainder of the album?

    We are having this same issue.  We have over 200 songs that are now missing and only our most recent ones show up in our ITunes library.  Fortunately we have one phone that still has all of our music still in tact. This phone is no longer one I will be using as I upgraded to the Iphone 6, and only the most recent purchased songs remain.  The rest are no where to be found and the iTunes store shows that I would need to re-purchase.  Not sure what to do as when I tried to sync my last phone, all the songs were gone.

  • HT201272 I pre-ordered an album, but only 2 of the songs from that album are showing up to download. What do I need to do to get the rest of the album that I already bought?

    Not sure what is going on here. I pre-ordered an album. One of the songs was available for instant download so I have that in my library now. I received an email saying that the rest of the album is available for download. When I go into my purchased songs as instructed, it only shows 2 other songs from that album. Not sure what I need to do.

    Hi libby2350,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
