Song won't download because the "File seems to be corrupt". Now what?

I purchased a song through iTunes and am trying to download it on my PC.  The song tries to download 4 TIMES, then displays an ERROR MESSAGE that THE SONG COULD NOT BE DOWNLOADED.  THE FILE SEEMS TO BE CORRUPT.  RETURN TO THE "CHECK FOR AVAILABLE DOWNLOADS" IN THE STORE MENU.  I have done this several times.  NO CHANGE, ALWAYS THE SAME ERROR MESSAGE.  What do I do next.  I either want the song to correctly download or get a refund for the purchase.  Please Help.

If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copy of the track and try redownloading a fresh one:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Otherwise, 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.

  • There was a problem downloading song. The file seems to be corrupted.

    Hi
    I'm trying to download an album i purchased but i'm constantly getting the message "There was a problem downloading X. The file seems to be corrupted" for every song I try to download. Also if i try to stream the song it says "This computer is not authorized to play X. Would you like to authorize it". But my computer is already authorized and when I try to authorize it again, it says this computer is already authorized.
    I've tried downloading them through the purchased section of the store (which causes itunes to crash 50% of the time) with no luck. I've also reinstalled itunes. This only started happening once I installed the latest version of itunes.
    Any help would be appreciated

  • I was trying to sync my itouch with my new mac, and some songs won't download because they are not authorized for this computer. But even after my computer was authorized they still won't sync. How do I fix this?

    I have the same problem. It is only with tv shows and only with programs I have downloaded after the software update.
    Apple support sent me the above link too....but it doesn't solve the problem...my computer is authorized and the content is in my library and will play on my Mac air, but it will not sync the tv shows, it keeps saying my computer isn't authorized for it.
    No answers here, but you are definitely not alone with this issue.

  • I'v downloaded a tv series,paid for it, its in my itunes but with exclamation marks next to it, every time it tries to download the series it says "part of the file seems to be corrupted" and tells me to redownload it.Tried that and it comes up the same.

    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.

    Everytime i try and download any apps i get an error message telling me that part of the file seems to be corrupted.  How do i resolve this issue

    Could be.
    This may be hard to believe, but I think my problem was that the built-in WiFi adapter on my HP desktop had
    gotten flaky. I switched to a Buffalo USB WiFi and the problem immediately disappeared. I never saw any errors, etc. from the Ralink adapter. Strange.  Might try another type of connection to the Internet.

  • TS1424 The file seems to be corrupted

    Does anyone know how to fix a song that was purchased but the message says, "the file seems to be corrupted".

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Try deleting the problematic file (electing to remove original file if/when prompted) and then re-downloading the file from the iTunes store.
    You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option from the Quick Links section in the top right corner of the iTunes homepage in your iTunes application on your computer.
    You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option at the bottom of the screen of the iTunes app (or video app) on your iOS device.
    If the problem re-occurs, select the content which is causing a problem and use the 'Report a problem' button in Your Purchase History using your computer.

  • Downloaded OS ZIP files seems to be corrupted!

    I've downloaded the installation CD and CD 1 zip file from US west and east site but it doesn't seems to be workable. I'm unable to open the ZIP files. The files seems to be corrupted. Even after I repaired those Zip files, I'm unable to unzip it. Can anybody tell me where I can get a workable download. Thanx a lot!

    Hi,
    I met the same problem before. Try "Real Download" instead of your current download manager which is strongly recommended by sun.

  • My songs won't play because the original file can't be found.  Please help.

    I cannot play any of the songs in my iTunes. Whenever I try to play a song an error message pops up. It reads, "The song could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?" I have to search for the song on my hard drive in order for it to play. This process works but it would be very timely and tedious to go through each one of my 5300 songs to get them to play. Is there a faster way of doing this? Please help. Thanks.

    The "missing file" thing happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout, or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
    Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then say no when asked to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions. I can provide a step by step guide if you give me the two paths.
    In some cases iTunes may be able to repair itself if you go through the same steps and locate the lost track. It may then offer to attempt to automatically fix other broken links. Alternatively, as long as you can find a location holding the missing files, then you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes.

  • "Part of the file seems to be corrupted" when downloading from iTunes Store

    I have suddenly started getting this issue. It has happened once before, but after 2 retries, it worked.
    However, this time it refuses to work no matter how many retries, restarts, and reboots...
    I have looked up the error it give me on my Downloads section of iTunes (error 8008) and the solution does not work.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3297
    It acts like it can't make a connection to the server, making multiple retrys on the download, then gives me the error.
    But, I can connect to the store with no issue...
    This is VERY frustrating seeing how I can't see iTunes selling me a corrupt episode of a series I have already bought a season pass for...
    I was hoping to watch it this evening, however that looks unlikely now...
    Any help on this issue?

  • 'Parts of the file seem to be corrupted'

    I keep getting this same message when I try to download any video content lately. I have tried with apple to fix this through several emails but nothing is working - all they told me to do was to delete the corrupted file and try again (which I did) but the same thing just keeps happening. Please Help!

    In your next email, ask them to escalate this problem to a manager or at LEAST to someone who will try to download the same dratted file. That would quickly clear up the question of whether the file is corrupted or if your connection to iTS is flaky.
