Re-downloading lost music & video

Ya' know, so many people have asked about this, why doesn't Apple just allow iTunes customers to do this? Amazon does it. I just re-downloaded 4 movies I bought @ Amazon Unbox over 2 years ago, and I didn't re-pay one cent.

Now, explain to me logically why Apple doesn't allow more than 2 re-downloads
Now explain to me logically why you simply do not repurchase it?
As a rule, Apple does not allow ANY redownloads.
They may, on occasion allow it but it is definitely the exception and not the rule.
I don't care if Apple has to pay royalties
Why should Apple care about what you want over and above your agreed upon deal?
surely a big corporation like Apple makes enough money every year to cover this
What does how much money they make have to do with anything?
You made a purchase knowing it is not allowed to be downloaded again and you were satisfied with this else you would not have made the purchase.
Why should Apple have to pay for your mistakes/laziness/whatever is it that you need to redownload everything all the time.
These are user-to-user forums. No one here can give you the exact reasons why Apple chooses to not allow redownloading.
You can ask Apple here -> http://www.apple.com/contact/
maybe I should have mentioned that I've re-download my entire digital media libray (101 videos) from Amazon at least 10 times.
Really? 10 times? Really?
You can't stop yourself from deleting it over and over?

I have an iPod nano 6th generation and I downloaded 3 music videos but they won't play on my iPod. They only play on my laptop/iTunes. How can I get it to work?

I have an iPod nano 6th generation and I downloaded 3 music videos but they won't play on my iPod. They only play on my laptop/iTunes. How can I get it to work? I know that my iPod should take music videos because there is a pre-made playlist called "Music videos". Can anyone help me please????

You can sync the music videos, but they won't play on your 6G Nano, because it does not support video playback. Sorry.

Downloading new music & video

HELP!!! I got my new ipod classic Saturday, but I had downloaded 3000 songs and videos when I noticed that the videos had not downloaded. When I reconnected to add my videos, it deleted all the music. Is there a way that I can keep all my music without having it deleted everytime I reconnect? I want to keep all my music and just keep adding to it. Hence, the 80 GBs I was so upset and I still was not able to download my music videos. Can anyone help me?

Bought and downloaded a music video...wont work

I bought and downloaded a music video, but it stops and won't work after the 38 sec. mark. What do I do?

If iTunes cannot find the file, that usually means that the file, or its containing folder, has been moved, renamed, or deleted. If you can figure out what happened, put it back the way it was. If necessary, use Windows to search for the file.
If the song file no longer exists on your system, download a fresh copy from the iCloud.

HT201272 hi all, I am having trouble downloading 2 music videos. I keep getting the download error 8008. Can anyone enlighten me on how to work around the problem.

Hi guys, I'm havinh trouble downloading 2 music videos. The download starts then stops before it gets going and gives me an error code, 8008. Can anyone help please.

Try the troubleshooting for that error number on this page : http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3297
"Error -50," "-5000," "8003," "8008," or "-42023"
These alerts occur due to timeouts or conflicts trying to write a file during download.
If you encounter this issue while accessing iTunes Store:
See iTunes 9: "One Moment Please" or "Error (-50)" message when accessing iTunes Store
If you encounter this issue while while downloading something from the iTunes Store:
Delete your iTunes Downloads folder, located in:
Mac OS X:  ~/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/Downloads Note: "iTunes Media" may appear as "iTunes Music. Also, the tilde (~) refers to your Home directory.
Windows Vista:  \Users\username\Music\iTunes\iTunes Media\Downloads\
Windows 7:  \Users\username\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Media\Downloads\
Windows XP:  \Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Media\Downloads\
After locating your iTunes Downloads folder:
Quit iTunes.
Delete the Downloads folder on your computer.
Open iTunes.
Choose Store > Check for Available Downloads.
Enter your account name and password.
If you encounter this issue while while downloading Digital Copies using Windows:
Use MSCONFIG (directions for Windows XP and Windows Vista/Windows 7) to disable conflicting software.
If using MSCONFIG steps resolves the issue, you may want to use the System Configuration Utility to turn on the third-party System Services and Startup Items one at a time (restarting your computer after turning on the item or items) to identify which System Service or Startup Item is causing the conflict.
You can turn all of them back on by selecting the Normal Startup option under the General tab of the System Configuration Utility window, but please note that this may cause the issue to reoccur.
If you are able to isolate the issue to a particular third-party software, you may wish to contact them to let them know of the conflict.

I keep getting error code 1450 when I try to download a music video.

I keep getting error code 1450 when I try to download a music video. I've since downloaded other songs/videos, and I have the latest version of iTunes, so I don't think I need to uninstall itunes, but I can't download the video I bought.

If you recently installed or updated disc burning software it may be conflicting with iTunes.
Try taking a look at this Apple doc, some of the suggestions may take care of the problem -> iTunes for Windows: Troubleshooting CD issues caused by device filters

HT1577 why is it taking so long to download a music video?

I am trying to download a music video to my Iphone and it has taken over 1 1/2 hours. What do I do?

Assuming you are downloading from itunes, yes it can, it really depends on several things, the network, your connection speed, your download speed. I have had it take close to two hours at times to download a tv show and at others only about 30 minutes.

Assuming you still have the CD's and they are still readable:
Delete everything "jumbled" from your iTunes Library.
Insert the CD, and do not read them into iTunes, but copy them instead into a folder with the name you want in your iTunes Library afterwards, insert the next CD and copy it into a second folder (different name), etc.
Then put the first folder into Yourname/Music/iTunes/iTunes Music/Automatically Add To iTunes folder.
Start iTunes and see it appear in the iTunes Library. Close iTunes, do the same with the next folder, etcetera
That was excessively complicated, and NOT how you import CD's into iTunes. I have imported nearly 1000 CD's into iTunes and never once, not once, have I fulled around with folders. That is done in preferences. That's not how iTunes works. William needs to post his question to the iTunes for Mac forum, where much easier solutions will be provided.

Need to download lost music

I went online to see how to download past purchased music and movies since I lost most of it on a crashed disk: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
I follwed the directions and found this little "cloud icon" and clicked dowload all and the download started.
After about 5 minutes and part way through the download iTunes froze and I had to "Force Quit" the application.
I restarted iTunes and appeared to complete a download but then stopped.
Is this a one time shot at getting them back?
Now I wanted to download lost movies but don't know where they are?
Where is the Movie button?
Where are the Movies?

I went to "Books" and one of the books I purchased has changed it's name to "Unknown Ablum, Unknown Author" and when I can look at it. The cover icon is there but it doesn't work. The book is called "A Storm of Swords" by George R.R. Martin (part of the Game of Thrones series). It's not allowing me to download it again?

Disc Error when downloading purchased music videos

Hi there,
I'm using the latest iTunes and have purchased 3 music videos. When I try to download them, I gett an error saying:
"There was an error download your purchased music. The disc could not be read from or written to"
Strange thing is, the disc is fine (an external Maxtor network drive), I can download normal music files (I've done this successfully since getting this message) so I'm stumped.
I've sent a mail to iTunes support, but I thought I'd see if anyone else has had this problem and can recommend a fix.
Cheers,
Pete

Hello Peter,
Check out the suggestions in this Apple Support article below:
"Disk could not be read from or written to"
Also, if your videos were only partially downloaded and you'd like to retrieve them, then you can go to "Advanced> check for purchases..." in iTunes, and see if that works.
I hope this helps!

Unable to download purchased music video to iPod

Downloading Lost Music

I sent an email to Apple a few days ago and I mentioned that all the music in my purchased music was gone after I reformated my hard drive. They sent me a link to redownload all my music. I'm doing that now. There's only one problem. Since I bought a ton of videos from the iTunes store ever since I first got my .Mac account, iTunes is also downloading every single video I've purchased. That means it's eating up my hard drive space. Is there a way to skip downloading the videos and just download the music only? I'm only asking because I bought the January software upgrade for my iPod touch and because I still have 599 to go out of 1331 pending downloads, I wanted to know if there was a way to not download the videos so that I could just download my music and my January software upgrade for my ipod touch. Hope that makes sense.

I don't know of a way, but you could always just delete the duplicate videos when they are finished to free up the space again.
Patrick
