Purchases won't download "file is corrupted... try again"

I've asked online apple support what to do and they've told me to download the latest version of iTunes, which I did... but the problem still hasn't been solved. Every time I try to download the music that I've already paid for, an error box pops up that says, "There was a problem downloading such-and-such. The file seems to be corrupted. To redownload the file, choose 'check for purchases' from the Store menu."
But when I do THAT, the same error box pops up and I'm back to square one. I called Apple support and they gave me the same advice as online support did. Any thoughts?

Here's what worked for me. Stop the current download, delete it from the downloads screen, then delete the .tmp file from the downloads folder in My Documents/My Music/itunes/
Go to Check For Purchases in the store drop down. All should be well after this assuming you do not lose internet connection during the download. If this happens, delete all again and re check for purchases...

My wife has an iPad 2. She recently tried to update the OS via wireless internet. The system became totally unresponsive. I finally got the apple logo to come up on the screen, but nothing else.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
I have seen previous versions mentioned in a pop up message before on iCloud.com, but I'm not really sure at all how it would help, as I couldn't get it to do anything.
The best advice I have at this time is to back up your work on your iOS device by regularly saving it to iTunes, if anything goes wrong you can then either load it into the numbers app again on the device or recover it via iTunes on your computer.
My syncs are immediate, I never get chance to see if it works in the background, sorry.

I purchased creative lightroom presets. I see the zip file in my download file and I try to import to LR but it just keeps creating a bundle never giving me the option to import (greyed out). What am I doing wrong?

Try unzipping the file first. I have no idea regarding your level of technical expertise so advanced apologies if this is really basic. A ZIP file is a compressed file containing one of more files within it. To access the files you will need to expand it. If you double-click on it first, it should open up for you. If it does not automatically expand, you can select the files and copy them to a new folder. The copy will unload them into an uncompressed form. Once they have been uncompressed, you should be able to import them.
If the import is still giving you problems, go to your Preferences, click on the Presets tab and click the Show Presets Folder button. You can then copy your purchased presets into the folder shown. You will want to copy them to the User Presets subfolder.

When I try to update my iTouch 2nd gen on iTunes it downloads but then I get a message that says cant update due to corruption try again. Any suggestions?

I've tried a dozen times to update from 3.1 to 4.2 and continue to get a corrupted message from iTunes. Please help

I only have a desktop, an iPad and the touch. No other prob. Downloading or updating. It appears to be with iTunes only as it will go thru the 15 min download but then will end with a message saying its corrupted try again later. I've scanned the computer and no other issues.

I have the same problem. Did you get yours resolved?

Downloading an album from iTunes onto my iPad, I get the following error: download error, tap to try again.

Is there a fix for: "download error, tap to try again" for downloading music from iTunes onto iPad?
Thanks.

There are several threads about the 0xFFFE7958 error. So far there is no answer for the problem. I have contacted iTunes support twice about the problem and other than "we will get back to you..." I have received no support. The best part is that they charged me for this. How about a refund or something?

"Unable to download item. Please try again later. "

Hello. After updating to iOS8, whenever i turn off and power my phone, I receive a pop-up "Unable to download item. Please try again later. " at first I thought it was an app gone rogue but in the appstore I did not see anything suspicious. After resetting and restoring my device the pop-up kept appearing. By mistake I discovered that if I open the iBooks app the pop-up appears every time. I hace never bought or downloaded any book from here, ever. Did you encounter this error? do you have any suggestions for Me?
thanks

A few potential possible problems I see (just thinking along all the bases we have to cover so far):
1) It might not be related to iBooks. (I haven't even used iBooks on my new phone and rarely used it on my previous phone.)
2) It might not be related to the U2 album.
3) It might be related to something we have not thought of yet. (About the only thing we all have in common is the problem and that we've either downloaded the U2 album or fiddled with iBooks, but the amount of people who have downloaded the U2 album and/or fiddled with iBooks is huge.)
4) There might not be enough of us experiencing this problem for Apple to even realize it exists.
I guess it must either happen because of the U2 album and/or because of iBooks, and/or something else entirely.
Did I miss anything?

Re: "An Error occurred while downloading content."in response to augiefritzmom
I have been trying to fix this for 4 weeks , several visits to the apple store ... all irrelevant suggestions , was even told to buy an Apple TV ten 3 as it was an issue with HD steaming only supported on the new unit ...
I do not go on these sites , but Apple are losing the plot these days ...
Here is what I found that fixed the issue for me ...
1) go to Gen\network\DNS
2) It will be set to Auto , for some reason the DNS is being set to you router , not your service provider ...
3) I am with Charter (do a quick search charter DNS on the Web) , will give you their DNS ,
Charter DNS Servers
http://www.charter.com
Primary DNS: 24.196.64.53
Secondary DNS:
View all United States of America DNS Servers
4) Go to manaul and set the DNS to the service prover
5) should be good to go ...
Why we have to go to the level to solve this stuff I have no idea ..... hope it helps ....

Linux Mint 17, migrated from Win7: Verify that you have enough disk space, and that you have write privileges to the file system, then try again.

I get this error message (The messages could not be filtered to folder 'Generic Folder' because writing to folder failed. Verify that you have enough disk space, and that you have write privileges to the file system, then try again.) popping up on many, though not all of my incoming filters. I recently migrated from a Windows 7 installation to a Linux Mint 17 system.

I did give it time to run through everything when I initially migrated, and it frequently will sit open for 3 to 4 hours while I'm working on other projects.
The 'Generic Folder' represents sorting folders in my main mail account in Thunderbird. For example, my mail which is listed to filter into my 'Amazon' folder is sorted there with no problem, while any mail designated to be filtered into my 'Games' folder prompts the above error massage.

UCCE / IPIVR : Error while uploading file. Please try again later.

IPIVR version 8.5x
Receive "Error while uploading file. Please try again later"
Renamed the script to a different name and still could not upload. I am able to upload other scripts without any issue. I did find the ICM subsystem in partial service. If that was the issue I would think it would cause an issue with all the scripts. The script does validate. Not sure why at this point.

Hi Aditya,
Are you using SharePoint 2010 or SharePoint 2013?
Did this issue occur for all users or the special user?
Please go to Central Administration->Manage service applications->User Profile service application->manage user profile, search and edit the user profile, then upload a picture for the user, compare the result.
In addition, please check the log file to check more information about this issue.

UCCX 8.0 "Error while uploading the file. Please try again."

I was on UCCX version 8.0.2.11003-10 and i was able to upload an script with the same name as an old one (overwrite).
Upgrade to UCCX 8.0.2.11004-12 and now I am receiving the error: "Error while uploading the file. Please try again."
There was a bug CSCth09248 that affected version 7 but supposed to be fixed on version 8 and was fixed on an earlier version. But after moving to a minor patch, problem came back...
Any ideas?

Hi,
I belive the bug was initially opened to fix the issue when uploading script fails when using wizard to configure uccx.
But now they have re-opened the same bug instead of opened a new one for the issue that you have.
I looked at the case attached to that bug, case # 617145545. Below is the problem description that customer has which is same as yours and this bug has been re-opened to fix this particular problem.
When I tried to upload a modified script with an existing file name, the message "script file already exists.
Overwrite existing script file, continue?" comes up and when I select "OK" then,
it dispaly Status "Error while uploading the file. Please try again".
If I remove an existing file first, it will upload fine.
Using UCCX Admin 8.0.2.11004-12 and UCCX Editor 8.0(2.0).
Thanks

TS3297 music file won't download due to corrupt file

Hello!
I purchased a song at the iTunes store yesterday and after multiple tries it still won't download correctly and the error message I see says the file is corrupt and to try again later - but still no success
Anyone experience this before? Any suggestions?
Thanks for your time!

Have you actually checked your Movies folder ( Users > YourUserName > Movies ) just in case there are backups in there? Worth a try.
What happens if you launch the app with the external media drive disconnected - if it happens to be a corrupt media file, the app should launch fine with no media connected.
If it doesn't I suggest you fully delete FCP X and reinstall it - if you're able to do that.

Windows says the itunes download file is corrupt and will not install

Im trying to install itunes on my new windows 8 pc. It seems to recognize my software and takes me to a download the 64 bit file (iTunes64Setup.exe). Once the download completes, the file appears in my windows download manager with the message "The signature of this program is corrupt or invalid". If I right click and chose install anyway, I get a message saying that Windows prevented this from running.
I then found the 32bit download file (iTunesSetup.exe). I get the same results as above. Any ideas how to fix this?

I get that all the time with all sorts of programmes. I normally shut down my pc, unplug it, wait for the light to go out on the back, plug back in reboot and it works (with most of my downloads) try this, it might fix it, it might not. I tried this the other day after it kept telling me it was corrupt, then it came down and installed fine. I do this now with every update of every program, if I forget they will all say they have an 'invalid signature' or 'corrupt from source file' etc. Hope this helps you. Also I have to do this before I download music as well, because otherwise it seems to come down with the stupid DRM still on the file, meaning I can't put it on my ipod, convert it or even play it on my system.
