One file in an album is corrupted and won't download, what now?

I bought my very first album from iTunes and one of the files won't download and I'm getting a message that it appears to be corrupted and to check for available downloads. I check, the file is shown, but when I try to load it again i keep getting the same message. Help!

Hello justwannalisten1
Check out the article below to download the previous purchase, just make sure that the songs is not in iTunes and you should be able to download it again.

If you see the "Purchased" option on the main screen of the iTunes Store, here's what I'd do:
1) Go into your library and delete the file if it downloaded. If not, go to your downloads and delete it from there to stop it from download.
2) Go to the Purchased pane in the main iTunes Store section, locate the item, and try the download again.
Also, you may wish to turn off any anti-virus or anti-malware programs before you try this again, as that sometimes is what can be blocking the download. Otherwise, contact iTunes Store Support:

If restarting the computer and iTunes doesn't work you can try one of these suggestions.
1. If items appear (maybe in grey or different from working songs) but don't play you can try to delete them from your library so they will no longer seem to be there to the iTunes store.
a) select the item
b) press option and delete key assuming a mac keyboard
c) yes, send them to trash
d) restart Itunes, go to store, check for available downloads, and select download all

App updates are corrupt and won't download?

I can download music and movies just fine on my PC. When I try to download updates for my apps (about 14 updates pending), I get an error message telling me that "the file is corrupt and to go to "check for available purchases" again to download the update for each app needing an update. I get the same "corrupt" message when I try to download it again and again? How can I get these apps to update? What's going on?

Are you downloading them all? Try downloading just one.

One of my Pages documents is corrupted and won't open...how to save the file?

We have the new iPad 3, and Pages. My friend was working on adding pictures to a document we're writing, and then the next day (or the same day) we tried to re-open the file and the app crashed, every time. We cannot share, send to itunes, email, or do anything with the file, and any attempt to open it crashes Pages. On iCloud.com, the file fails to download every time, whatever the format selected. And I have most of this file (without the pictures/edits) on her PC from the old Word days, but I'm trying to recover the Pages/iPad version with all the pictures in it.
We have the newest iPad, updated iOS, and the newest Pages update (1.6.1 i think it is).
I have only two or three guesses as to what the problem could be:
-My friend sometimes doesn't remember to delete pictures before adding a picture in it's place (you know, if you add a picture in a certain spot and then decide to replace the picture for a better one), so there may be 8 or 9 pictures stacked on top of each other in one place. Maybe all that rendering is jamming up the app on this particular file. Other files we've worked on with/without pictures open fine.
-The storage is full, so it's acting up like anything else does. We're new with the iPad so we haven't figured out what to do with photos and whatnot. My Mac is configured for my other documents and my appleid/icloud, and this iPad is on my friend's appleid, so I'll have to see about what I can do to back up to her PC.
-There's a problem with Pages 1.6.1 (which I've seen written around the web).
Any suggestions as to what the cause, or more importantly, solutions might be? I'm backing up everything else I can externally so restoring is an option. Also, I'm lucky enough NOT to have deleted the old Pages 1.6 file in her Recycle Bin, so I have that app file on her desktop. I'm not sure whether I should try deleting the app out of itunes/the iPad, and then see about dragging the old Pages back in, or what that will do to the important files (especially the corrupted one).
Any advice would be helpful, even if I have to buy a recovery app of some kind. Advice on how to avoid the issue or report it to Apple would also be helpful!
P.S. I already called AppleCare and they said something to the effect of they'll try something, eventually, they're not sure, etc etc.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

HT1711 The song I just bought is saying it is corrupted and won't download. How do I fix this?

Song is "Leaving Earth" from the Mass Effect 3 Original Soundtrack

I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the item that is not downloading properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the entry, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.
(Not entirely sure what happens after you click that link, but fingers crossed it should be relatively straightforward.)

I tried down loading mozilla firefox to use as a web browser. It was downloaded 100% then when prompted to "run" the error message comes up with a red cross and the message'This file is corrupted" and won't let me proceed. What do I do now?

It is possible that your anti-virus software is corrupting the downloaded files or otherwise interfering with downloading files by Firefox.<br />
You can try to disable the real-time (live) scanning of files in your anti-virus software temporarily to see if that makes downloading work.

I did a backup from all my files saved in old external hd to time capsule. After that double checked and recover one file from TC to mac air and it worked just perfect. Today went through TC to recover another file and none of them were there?

It's good for that . . .
But also I don't keep all my stuff in my Mac.
But not for that.
This older and not day-by-day usage files I want to store in the time machine.
You can do that (see below), but how are you going to back them up? If your only copies are on the TC, when (not if) it fails, you risk losing your only copy of the data.
Is it possible to split TC in two partitions.
No, but there are some workarounds, including making a fixed-size disk image on it to "reserve" some space. See #Q3 in Using Time Machine with a Time Capsule.
But you still won't have backups of the stuff you put there.
You don't say what kind of Mac you have. If it's a desktop model, just keep the external HD connected to it, and let Time Machine back it up along with your internal HD.
However, it sounds like you may have a laptop, where that's not going to be convenient. In that case, your best bet might be to copy the external HD to a disk image on the TC as above, then keep the HD in a safe place.
To finish, when i enter the TC and go through the Time line how can I get a file from there and move it back to Mac hd.
Via the "Star Wars" display, per #15 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions.
You might also want to review the Time Machine Tutorial, and perhaps browse the rest of the FAQ.

I had a Word .doc that became corrupted while SpellChecking an entire vintage book that had been OCRed. Crashed every time I opened it in Word. I was able to open, strip off the Word Header & Footer (invisible), spell check and save as a plain text file with TextWrangler - BBEdit's Baby Brother > http://www.barebones.com/products/textwrangler/ - no Word-ish formatting, but the data was there in total.

What happens when you try to redownload them ? What you can re-download (the types of content that you can redownload varies by country) will show under the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes, and the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app on your iPhone (and similarly for apps in the App Store app). If you still have your old phone then you should be able to copy your iTunes downloads from it over to your computer's iTunes via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases

Purchased a tv episode and won't download keep getting Error 8008. iTunes tells me its corrupt and need to redownload it, but everytime I do the error shows up...grrr..what do i do to make it download

Purchased a T.V episode and won't download. I keep getting Error 8008. iTunes just keeps telling me its corrupt and I need to go redownload it, but everytime I try to it just pops up with the Error 8008 message again.. How do I get the episode to download all the way.

Clear the contents of ...iTunes\iTunes Media\Download and try one more time.
If the problem recurs use the "report a problem" links in your account history and explain what has happened so far. There may be a problem with the source rather than your download of it.
