Songs / Apps never completely download on iPhone

For about the past month, whenever I buy a song from iTunes or install a new application directly from my iPhone, it will download almost completely and then tell me that the download cannot be completed and it will be available next time I log on to iTunes through my computer. This is a real nuisance because I am always buying music and downloading new apps from my iPhone and only log in to my account via my computer about once every 2-3 months....mainly just to check to see if there is a software update.
Anyone got any ideas on this one???

You need to connect to iTunes more frequently, just to do backups of your contact list (unless it never changes). If your phone needs to be restored you will lose all contacts, text messages, pictures in your camera roll, and calendar entries.
Contacts and calendar comment applies only if you do not use Push.

  • I have purchased a song that never completed downloading.  I need help accessing song although still shows purchased?

    I have purchased a song that never completed the download.  Song now says purchased but can't get it and isn't in library.  How can I access the song?

    Depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then try deleting the incomplete track from your iTunes library and redownload it via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes.
    If you aren't in a country where you can re-download music or if it re-downloads with the same problem then try the 'report a problem' page to contact iTunes Support : http://reportaproblem.apple.com
    If the 'report a problem' link doesn't work then you can try contacting iTunes support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

  • HT1725 I have a song that didnt completly download, but when I check for available downloads it says all songs are downloaded but they are not. What should I do

    I have a song that didnt completly download, but when I checked for available downloads it says all songs are downloaded. When I close Itunes and reopen it still dosent complete the download what should I do

    Depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then try deleting that track from your iTunes library (if it's still in there then iTunes won't let you re-download it) and redownload it via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes : re-downloading.
    If you aren't in a country where you can re-download music or if it re-downloads in the same state then try the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via Store > View My Account and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find that song and use the 'Report a Problem' link.

  • HT4059 How do you delete an iBook that never completely downloaded? I want it gone

    How do you delete an iBook that never completely downloaded? I want it gone

    I'm having the same problem. The book downloaded in iBooks on the computer, but not on the iPad. It seems to be stuck. When I try "Edit" in purchased books, I can't select the book that hasn't completely downloaded. I've tried synching manually, deselecting it, reselecting it, but nothing works. I've done a hard restart on the iPad a couple of times but I still can't get rid of it.

  • I purchased songs on my iphone and transferred to my itunes library on my PC, but 3 of the 6 songs did not completely download? On my iphone they are complete.

    I purchased songs on my iphone4 and transferred them to my itunes library on my PC.  I transferred over a wi-fi connection for the first time and for whatever reason 3 of the 6 songs are only partially downloaded..even though they appear completely downloaded the songs stops abruptly.  On my iphone they are complete and play without problem.

    If the computer iTunes is signed into the same account then contact iTunes:

  • HT2404 Charged but app did not download on iphone or itunes store

    I recently tried to download/purchase 'whatapp' from my iphone (3gs).  It asked for my password for itunes like it normally does but then as it was trying to download it I received an error msg.  I tried to download it again and the same msg.  Didn't think anything of it except for looking at my bank acct today, I got charged....Grrrrr.    So I opened itunes, go into app store and it says "You do not have any purchased apps available to download." 
    I clicked the link from the email telling me I was charged to "report a problem", it takes me to itunes asks for my password to report and then it's an endless loop... same question.
    How do I get this app on my phone or a refund please?
    Thanks

  • TS1424 I downloaded an album, but most of the songs are incomplete.  The itunes list shows the appropriate song length, but the actual songs are not completely downloaded - meaning it does not give me the option of finishing the download.

    I purchased a complete album, but most songs are only about a minute in duration rather than their actual lengths.  The times showing indicate the full song was downloaded, but in reality, its like listening to a sample.  I want to get entire songs, but the itunes list shows it as downloaded, so it does not seem to give me the option to download again.  I sure would like to get what I paid for.  Any suggestions?

    If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the dodgy tracks and try redownloading fresh copies. For instructions, see the following document:
    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 items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.

  • HT201272 i downloaded an album on itunes. two songs are not completely downloaded

    I preordered an album. Two of the songs on it it did not download completely,minuteto minute and a half are missing. how do i fix it? Thanks

    Assuming you are in a region where you are allowed to redownload your past music purchases, delete the broken files from your iTunes library, go to the iTunes Store home page, click on the Purchased link from the Quick Links section in the right-hand column, then select Music and Not on this computer. You should find download links for your tracks there.
    If you don't see them straight away it may help to close and restart iTunes.
    While downloading select Downloads in the left-hand column and make sure Allow Simultaneous Downloads is unticked.
    If the problem persists, or that facility is not yet available in your region, contact the iTunes Store support staff through the report a problem links in your account history, or via Contact Support.

  • App or podcast downloaded to iphone is deleted from iphone and transferred to iTunes 11.  How can I keep the file from being deleted from the iPhone?

    I recently updated iTunes from version 10.x to 11.  In version 10, I could download a podcast or an app to my iPhone from the app store, then the app or podcast would co COPIED to iTunes during a sync.  Now with version 11, when I sync, the app or podcast is deleted from my iPhone and MOVED to iTunes.  How can I get back the old feature of making a copy?  This is a very dumb thing that happens in iTunes and I can not believe that I am the only one to complain abou this.  Please help me.  What do I need to change in iTunes to keep my copy on the iPhone.
    Thanks to all you geniouses out there!

    Not 100% sure of your question.  If you are wanting to delete apps from itunes just right click then delete then empty recycle bin.

  • HT203433 Does anyone know how to advise Itunes that a downloaded song did not completely download especially when four other songs had no problem?

    Downloaded Born to be Wild but only 1/2 the song downloaded. I also downloaded 4 other songs with no problem. How can I let Itunes know there is a problem with this song?

    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.

  • Slow App Updates/Video Downloads on iPhone 5

    I recently upgraded to the iPhone 5 (iOS 6.1.4) from an iPhone 4 and my apps requiring updates (40 plus) are painfully slow over my home WiFi connection (Apple Airport Extreme router). Apps that used to take seconds to download are now taking many times longer. The apps are updating faster over the cellular connection. I let the phone sit overnight connected to WiFi but only 10 or so apps have updated.  At this pace it will take me about a week to update all of the apps.  Further, at the rate app companies issue updates I will be in perpetual update ****.
    I am also not able to download videos I paid for on iTunes. The one I attempted just sits in "Waiting" status.  Any help would be appreciated.

    I have countless albums that are in fact available in the itunes store and they are still intollerably slow to download, even over a decent wifi connection at 50mb/s max ... my internet is just fine and I'm still having issues with receiving my content from apple's servers. I personally don't think it's an "it's not availble in our archive there for it's not as accesable/fast to retreive" issue.. it's that their server is pathically slow and probaly overloaded with people that paid 25 bucks to store their library in the cloud and are now spending way too long trouble shooting multiple issues.  I for one am taking the upgraded "matched" files and walking. this is the most dissapointing service/product they've come up with. 
    I spent more time then I'd like to admit manually converting tracks (quite a few that should have matched, some not) in order to even upload compressed AAC 256 content, then tricking itunes into replacing said uploads with my higher quality files locally.. everythiing works well on my desktop and I can delete and redownload my content at the compressed quality and even upgrade certain things, but the service on my mobile devices are thus far usless... lame.
