Songs Appear Dim and Will Not Download

I just purchased about 50 songs from an i-mix and the purchase seems to go smoothly, but when the download is supposed to start, the progress bar always makes it to the same feeble place and stops before a single song has been downloaded. All songs remain dim and the little icon that is supposed to swirl when a song is downlaoding is sadly motionless. I have my library stored on an external hard drive and I thought that might be the problem, but when I reset the library to it's normal location, I had the same problem. Do I need to authorize the external hard drive? Any ideas what the problem may be? I REALLY want to listen to my new music!!
G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9) I am using 10.39 Panther Server

You don't have to authorize an additional harddisk - only computers need an authorizations regardless of how many hard disks are connected.
Your problem sounds as if it is related to either your internet connection or to heavy traffic of the iTMS server.

What do i do if a song is corrupted and will not download?

I have purchased a song that wil not download. instead it starts downloading over and over and says that the song is corrupted. what do i do to download the song?

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.
(Not entirely sure what happens after you click that link, but fingers crossed it should be relatively straightforward.)

I bought a song, and it says the file is corrupted and will not download what should i do?

If you see the "Purchased" option on the main screen of the iTunes Store, here's what I'd do:
1) Go into your library and delete the file if it downloaded. If not, go to your downloads and delete it from there to stop it from download.
2) Go to the Purchased pane in the main iTunes Store section, locate the item, and try the download again.
Also, you may wish to turn off any anti-virus or anti-malware programs before you try this again, as that sometimes is what can be blocking the download. Otherwise, contact iTunes Store Support:

Bought an album off iTunes and two songs from the album will not download. Is there anyway to make them force load or anything along those lines?

Bought an album off iTunes and two songs from the album will not download. Is there anyway to make them force load or anything along those lines? The Album is Sunshower-EP by UME and the songs are The Conductor and The Means.

Hey ChandlerAdaway!
I have an article here that can provide you some guidance for this issue. First, you will want to check for the songs in your past purchases list for your account, if you haven't already:

http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
If the songs cannot be found there, you will want to report an issue with your download by following the directions in this article:

If restarting the computer and iTunes doesn't work you can try one of these suggestions.
1. If items appear (maybe in grey or different from working songs) but don't play you can try to delete them from your library so they will no longer seem to be there to the iTunes store.
a) select the item
b) press option and delete key assuming a mac keyboard
c) yes, send them to trash
d) restart Itunes, go to store, check for available downloads, and select download all

Tried to upgrade to osx 10.9 from 10.7 and I didn't notice that it downloads in the launcher. I turned my mac off and ever since then it has glitched out and will not download no matter what I do. I have had it for 3 years which is out of warranty.

Tried to upgrade to osx 10.9 from 10.7 and I didn't notice that it downloads in the launcher. I turned my mac off and ever since then it has glitched out and will not download no matter what I do. I have had it for 3 years which is out of warranty. It now has a blank bar under the launch pad and no matter how many times I try re-downloading it or restarting my computer it does not work. I use too play starcraft and other games on this computer although new patched/updates have made it that I can no longer do that now. Really frustrating having to deal with this especially after buying this computer upfront and now out of warranty.

Go to your Applications folder and find a file called "Install OS X Mavericks". Send it to the trash and delete it. Then try the download again.

My wife's phone had similar symptoms, at least with the text notification alert not working. I have narrowed it down to happening after we use the new navigation feature in the Maps. When we power the phone off and back on, the alert sound seems to return. I haven't tried just "killing" the Maps app after we use it...perhaps that would work as well.

Purchased book "The Fish That Ate The Whale". In the Purchased window, my previous purchased books are labeled "downloaded" but The Fish has a cloud ikon and will not download. I have tried to delete the book but no response.
Redirected to Store and searched for The Fish. Description came up, pressed Download, message: you have previously purchased this book, go to Purchased and press Download. Followed instructions and message: you have previously purchased....... I'm in a loop.
Assistance requested

Hi there.
Thank you very much for your quick reply, it's really appreciated.
No need to apologize, I actually found the phrase "If your iPad ever craps the bed" amusing under the circumstances
I checked the list of installed apps like you suggested (Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Show all apps) but this problem app is not in the list. I have also swiped down on the home screen to search for it, but again it does not show.
While it has not let me download the app (and I just tried it again) it has helped me to eliminate a few things from the list of what to try, and I can definitely conclude that it has not downloaded.
I guess I need to fire up my PC and download it / sync my iPad.
Thanks again for your help

Hi..I have just recently got an iPhone and I had installed some apps already but now when I try to install and download any apps it just sits there on "waiting" and will not download.. Im able to erase it but no apps will download now. I have tried logging out of the app store but it still did the same thing. I also tried resetting it and that didn't work either. I've tried everything I can think of but still just sits there saying "waiting." what do I do?

- Maybe here:

- Try redownloading the app directly to the iPod by:
