Song purchased on iTunes continuously fails to download

I bought a song about two weeks ago from iTunes and it failed to download and everytime I try to "retry" it says failed again

What happens when you try to sync?
Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
Do the songs play in iTunes?           
Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?

Have you tried deleting and redownloading by:

    Hi guys,
    I need some everytime I try to download a song purchase from itunes I get the error message. 'Unable to Download Song' could not be downloaded at this time. I cannot even sync with itunes on the PC.

    One correction, from the icloud I was not able to listed to the entire song.  So when you purchased the song if it wasn't downloaded to your library, chances are you have lost your opportunity to listen to it.

  • I believe songs purchased in iTunes can be downloaded to a max of 5 devices. Does this count include the unregistered devices.

    I believe songs purchased in iTunes can be downloaded to a max of 5 devices. Does this count include the unregistered devices. ie. If I have already registered and downloaded music on 5 devices and now If I unregister one of the older device, can I go ahead and download songs in a new device ?

    You can have a maximum of 5 computers authorized to play DRM-restricted content purchased from the iTunes Store. You can have a maximum of 10 devices (computers and iOS) associated to your Apple ID.
    However, since all music sold on the iTunes Store has been DRM-free since late 2009 there is no longer a number of devices restriction for music. It is possible to sync, via USB or Wi Fi, an unlimited number of iOS devices.

  • The movie I rented at itune store failed to download.  I tried to download it again, but it seems I would be charged again if I download.  How can I download the movie I have already paid without being charged twice?

    Hello ktsuchiya
    If you can get your rental to download by going to Store > Check for Available Downloads, then report the issue to the iTunes Store.

  • I recently updated my iPhone and now find there are a number of songs that I cannot sync to my phone. Some are songs purchased from iTunes.  Is there anyway to remedy this?  I'd really prefer not to have to repurchase music.  Thanks

    I recently ran an updatedafter being prompted multiple times. Now I find there are a number of songs that I cannot sync to my iPhone. Some are songs purchased from iTunes.  Is there anyway to remedy this?  I'd really prefer not to have to repurchase music.

    Why would you repurchase songs simply because they will not sync?  Sorry, that's beyond illogical, it's simply not smart.
    What happens when trying to sync these songs?
    Any errors?

  • Why wont songs purchased from itunes transfer to my media files on pc?

    why wont songs purchased on itunes transfer to music library on pc?

    I'm a bit confused by your question.
    You say you have synced with your iMac, and that you have match turned on. If match is turned on you can't sync music any more.
    Are the purchases new, or old ones?
    Can you confirm that match is turned on on both the iMac and the iPhone.

  • I have the latest version IPAD.  In Garage Band I am trying to import karaoke songs purchased on itunes so that I can sing with them via garage band.  In Garage Band, when I try in import a song from Itunes, nothing comes up?  How do I do this...?

    I have the latest version IPAD.  In Garage Band I am trying to import karaoke songs purchased on itunes so that I can sing with them via garage band.  In Garage Band, when I try in import a song from Itunes, nothing comes up?  How do I do this...?

    Make sure you understand the difference between an Audio File and a GarageBand Project File (also known as GarageBand Song File)
    The + sing in the My Songs page is for opening a GarageBand Project File, either a new one or one that is copied vie the iTunes File Sharing mechanism. If I understand you right, then you want to import an Audio File from your iTunes library in a GarageBand Project and not open an existing GarageBand Project.
    To import an Audio File from your iTunes Library to an existing GarageBand Project.
    Make sure you sync your iTunes Library (all songs or a selection) to your iPad. This is the standard procedure so you can listen to your iTunes Library on your iPad (this step has nothing to do with GarageBand yet)
    Once you are in your GarageBand Project, tap the Loop Browser icon (the ribbon) to open the Loop Browser
    The misleading part here is that this window can display three tabs, not only the Apple Loops. It also displays any synced audio file via the iTunes Fle Sharing (the tab is labeled "Audio Files) and also any songs that you have synced to yoyr iPad that I just described. This tab is now called "Music".
    Look at the screenshot of my previous post. The Music tab provides the same browsing capabilities (Playlists, Artist, etc) as your iTunes.
    Navigate to the Kareoke Song (audio file) and drag it onto a GarageBand audio track
    I explain all those details and concepts in my GarageBand book
    Hope that helps

  • How do I get songs purchased on itunes to work on my new computer??

    My laptop recently crashed, and luckily I had my songs backed up on an external hard drive. When I transferred my library to my new computer, the songs purchased on itunes won't sync with the ipod. How can I fix this??

    Do the songs play in iTunes? Try playing one first, if the computer isn't authorised, you'll be asked to authorise it and the songs should sync after that. If your system crashes or you reinstall your operating system without deauthorising iTunes first, even a single computer can use up your limit of 5 authorisations as you have to reauthorise each time: About iTunes Music Store Authorisation and Deauthorisation

  • Authorization of old song purchases from iTunes-Win7 PC.

    For old songs purchased from iTunes several years ago, I'm notified I've exceeded the max (5) number of computers. I cannot play these songs or have them synch to my new iPhone.  I've deauthorized all computers and re-authorized my current Win7 PC. I've changed the notification settings in the control panel. (All of these remedies suggested by Apple on-line support).  This issue is still not resolved. Can anyone offer a suggestion? Thank you.

    Sounds like you might have multiple iTunes Store accounts. If you purchased that old album with a different Apple ID, it wouldn't show up in your purchase history if you are signed in to a different account. Same deal for authorizing content. If that song was purchased using a different Apple ID, you would need to use that account name and password to authorize it.
    If you aren't sure which account you used to purchase an item, you can find out by following these steps:
    1) Control-click (or right-click) the item in your iTunes Library.
    2) Choose Get Info from the menu that appears.
    3) Click the Summary tab.
    You’ll see the account used to purchase the item. If you have changed your account name, the item's Summary will still show the original account name.

    I am unable to download music that I purchased from itunes.  I can download recent purchases, but not ones that I made last year or earlier.

    Cdadd,
    If by any chance you have made purchases with more than one account, you must check for past purchases separately for each account.

  • Does Genius see only songs purchased from iTunes?

    Does Genius see only songs purchased from iTunes? If I fill in some of the information, iTunes library such as track names, play counts, and ratings on songs that weren't purchases from the iTunes library will these be included in Genius. Will songs that just have the title and artist be included in Genius. Thanks for the help.

  • Can't download song purchased from Itunes from one computer to another using same Apple ID

    Hi, I am operating itunes 11 at home, using Mac OS 10.7.5.. I purchased a song at work (also a Mac, I am not sure which version of OSM or itunes). I accessed the purchase of the song in the "Purchased" menu option in itunes on my home Mac. When I tried to download the song at home so I can include it in my Library, I got the following message:
    This computer is already associated with an Apple ID. You can download past purchases on this computer with just one Apple ID every 90 days.
    So: just to be clear:I can only buy something from  itunes from one computer and save to another with the  same Apple ID only every 90 days??? And if that is the case, I have not purchased anything from my work computer within 90 days of this recent song  purchase. That just does not make sense to me, since the license covers 10 devices anyway, and I am using the same Apple ID.
    Let me know if I am not understanding this correctly, or am doing something wrong. It just does make not sense to me that I can't download a purchase I made from one computer to another since I am paying Apple for the music and just accessing it elsewhere, using the same account.
    Thanks so much.

    Thanks for the response. Yes, my husband logged on to our computer and rented a movie for us to view. That is how we use Itunes: I purchase the music, he may purchase a movie or a rental now and then. This is new, it never happend before.
    Also, I contacted customer support, both by phone and email. Not only does someone else using the home computer under a different account trigger this, but so does simply activating my own user id from a different computer (one of the 5 I am allowed to under the service agreement.)
    Customer support was very helpful and lifted the 90 day ban. I called them because I purchased a season pass of a TV show and could not download the first episode because it was a "past purchase" (the episode was not even available to download when I purchased the pass, so “past” is indeed relevant.)
    But I don't see the point of purchasing content from Apple now. This feature limits the accessibility of legal purchases under the service agreement.  Why allow 5 computers per Apple ID if activating one of them limits the ability to download content for 90 days??
    I (used to) buy movies, rentals and TV shows all the time. I don’t have cable, so Apple was the source for all “must have” shows that I couldn’t wait for. Too bad.

  • Everytime i try to download songs purchased from itune store to itune account. A warning comes up that I have exceeded the 5 account per computer limit. I only have one account.   What is this?

    Why do I get  a warning that I have exceeded the 5 account limit per computer, when I only have one account.  It will allow me to purchase songs from itune, but will not download them to my itune account.

    The very similar situation with mine:
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3492726
    I can't find any solution. I don't even remember when I changed my apple ID! So does that means I cant recovered my purchased apps from my " old" account? I am totally innocent, for I did not intend to "Change" my account name
