Problems Downloading Purchased Music From iTunes Store
I recently purchased an album from the iTunes store and received a notice saying one song couldn't be downloaded. This song originally showed up in gray and couldn't be clicked on, played, etc and did not show any way to properly download it without purchasing the song again. Based on my calculations, I was still charged the full amount of the album despite not being able to download one of the songs. How do I go about downloading this song without paying the $1.29 again? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
in the itunes store click on Purchased under the Quick Links section
Navigate to the music you want to re download and click on the Cloud icon to the right of it.
It will download a fresh copy at no extra cost -
I get this message when I try to download purchased music, never seen it before, never had a problem before.
"you do not have enough access privelages for this operation"
This computer is authorized, auoto download is enabled and I can download on my ipad without a problem.
Any ideas what might be going on?Hi jimbowby,
If you are getting this error message just when attempting to download previously purchased music (new purchases work fine), and it's only occuring on the computer (redownloads on the iPad work fine), it may be a permissions issue. It may be worth taking a look at the Resolution section of the following article, which covers other issues that can throw that same error message: Trouble adding music to iTunes library or importing audio CD Hope that helps.
Cheers,

Error (-50) When Trying To Download Purchased Music
Hello -
I recently upgraded to iTunes 7.0.1. Since then, I cannot download purchased music. I get the following error message:
There was a problem downloading X (name of song). An unknown eror occurred (-50).
I have never had problems downloading purhcased music before. Is there a known bug/issue with 7.0.1?
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

JulieI am having the SAME PROBLEM and it's driving me NUTS! I couldn't find an answer here so I emailed iTunes support. Here is what they said:
The error you describe may be caused by the presence of web
acceleration or firewall software. While the iTunes Store is unable to provide
technical support, I can recommend that you either test your connection to
the iTunes Store without the presence of this software or configure
your system to allow access to the iTunes Store's address.
However, I'm not sure that is my problem because my computer is new, (I have a macbook), I haven't downloaded any kind of software other than software updates from apple, I use safari, and my roommate has no problem d-loading onto her computer. Also, the album I purchased comes with an interactive booklet and that downloads without a problem. So, I don't know. I just emailed them again and I'll respond to this thread if I get a solution. Otherwise, please let me know if you figure it out!

My Ipod will not download purchased music even though it displays "synchronizing" message. This was never a problem before. Note: my ipad will not sync either. I have my music library stored in a PC Windows 7). Is there something that I am not doing correctly?
Try disabling a/v software and turning off the Firewall on your PC.
Disable antivirus software
Turn-Windows-Firewall-on-or-off
Then try syncing your iPod.
If that doesn't help click here. iPod touch sync support -
Error -42018 Cannot Download Purchased Music from iTunes Store
I cannot download music, it says unknown error -42018 check network connection and try again. I can download videos just fine, but music. This has never done this before. I downloaded music before just fine. I turned off my firewall but no luck. Please help resolve!!!
Hey everybody,
I also was experiencing the unknown error -42018 when attempting to download purchased music. Additionally, I was stuck in an endless authorization loop when attempting to play previously purchaed music. All this started when I installed the latest iTunes software 7.0.2.
I run windows XP Pro, and unlike the majority of users I actually set it up correctly with a dedicated administrator account, and regular user accounts instead of just running as admin all the time. For me, that was the cause of the problem.
The new version of iTunes software required FULL CONTROL privilages on the iTunes and iPod install directories for all user accounts that were using the program. (Previous versions worked fine, so this is a new thing.) Once I provided those permissions, iTunes worked correctly. Follow this link: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/304040 for information on how to provide FULL CONTROL to every user account.
I hope you all find this helpful in solving your problem.
Good Luck,

Can't download purchased music to video iPod
I can't download purchased music and videos to my new 30GB video iPod.
When I try to copy videos or purchased I get an error "iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close" and iTunes quits after I close the dialog.
I ran the iPod Updater 2006-01-10 and Restored my iPod. I can download mp3s and a video I created in QT Pro but not purchased music or videos.
I uninstalled all previous iPodSetup installations, iTunes, QuickTime, rebooted and deleted the iTunes prefs file at:
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\SC Info\SC Info.sidb
I reinstalled iPod Updater 2006-01-10 and iTunes 6.0.2 and rebooted.
The problem remains.

I can download purchased music but cannot play music from the Cloud
Is there a problem playing music from the Cloud? I cannot play music with iTunes (PC) and iOS 6.0.1, but I can download purchased music form iTunes Store. Maybe there is a problem with server?
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion. Use your backup copy to put everything back.
If for some reaosn you have failed to backup, then you can transfer itunes purchases from an ipod. File>Transfer Purchases -
Why would iTunes stop downloading purchased music
Good Afternnon,
My itunes account suddenly stopped downloading purchased music. I bought one song and it downloaded no problem, but when I attempt to complete and album, it goes throught all the steps but stops short of actually downloading any music. What might be te problem?
Thanks, KandiAlso make sure your using the original account that was created when first purchasing those songs had you changed your account information such as your username and password. To re-download you must use the original account. If you didn't change anything it just might be a bug and try again later.
One time I couldn't upgrade my apps and kept trying. Next thing you know about 20 minutes later they upgraded, no problem. This happens occasionally. -

Help, i get the 'error downloading purchased music.' what do i do?
i can download music and podcast fine but when i try to purchase a tv show i get the error message "there was an error downloading purchased music. the disk could not be read from or written to" i went to the purchases command in the advanced menu several times with no luck. i have purchased three seperate shows and get the same message. i'm tired of wasting money and would like some help.
thanksHmm... I've never seen a issue exactly like this before personally, but usually you get the "Disk Locked" error when installing iTUnes or adding anything, songs or videos to iTunes folder. go here and follow the instructions http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302398
You may have to uninstall/reinstall iTunes AND quicktime if this does not work. Uninstlling iTunes DOES NOT delete any music, playlist, ratings ect ect -
Error messages everytime itunes tries to download purchased music
We got a new computer recently, and on our old computer I believe we had itunes 5, and we had a 30 gb 5th gen that we downloaded purchased music onto. we can only get dial up connection where we live, and we never had an issue downloading, it just took awhile.
Now that we have our new computer, we also added an 80gb to the newer itunes (7?) we put on the new computer. I have purchased 3 songs, and everytime i try to download them, it says the network connection has timed out, or to check the network connection, etc. Not even a snippet of the song gets downloaded. It pretty much immediately goes to the error message.
Is itunes 7 set up to only be used with a broadband connection to download? Our internet connection is never the issue. Its pretty irritating to have songs ive purchased and not be able to put them on our ipods.
Any help would be appreciated, as im not too computer literate, and i cant figure this out.

Download Purchased Music - To a New MacBook Pro
Hello, I would like to download my previously downloaded & purchased music to a new MacBook Pro. My old Old Windows PC crashed and nothing was recoverable. Is this possible? If not I have lost all my music
You will be able to download your previously purchased music. If you didn't subscribe to Match,
anything else that you didn't back up will be lost.
With iTunes 11, anything that's available (previous purchases or Match) will appear as cloud
content in iTunes when you log in with your AppleID.
If the music was synced to a device, you can use a third party utility to pull it back off.
