Stuck with a partially downloaded song

On my 3rd generation iPad, I am stuck with a song I partially downloaded.
In iTunes>Purchases, I clicked on the cloud next to the song title. It started to download on my iPad. Somehow, I thought the better of it, I didn't need the song on my iPad, so I broke it off. However, now it's there, on my iPad, as some sort of out-of-reach ghost song.
When I go back to iTunes>Purchases, there's no cloud next to the song, but Play. When I choose Play, I'm redirected to Music but the screen goes dark. Nothing happens. I can't swipe to delete the song either. There's a button that seems to indicate it's partially downloaded (next to "Rolling Stones Si..."), but when I click on it, it disappears:
I've tried General>Usage>Music, but it says "No data".

Oh thank goodness! I re-downloaded the songs, like what you said, on my computer, and I synced my music over, go to albums on my iPad and deleted the whole album. Finally the songs are deleted! Thanks for helping me!

    My partially downloaded song is stuck, it won't let me restart/reset it..please help

    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 (or if doing it on your phone delete it from the Music app and redownload it via the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app)
    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' 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

  • TS1424 partially downloaded songs , please help!

    I purchased a CD off of itunes and some of the songs only got paritally downloaded, what can I do to get the full songs without purchasing the cd again?

    Depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then try deleting the incomplete tracks from your iTunes library and redownload them 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 they re-download 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 album and use the 'Report a Problem' link.

  • Can't Erase Partially Downloaded Song Off iPad

    Recently, I downloaded an album on to my iPad and it seemingly downloaded just fine.  But once I was on my MacBook, and going through the "On this iPad" screen in iTunes 11, I noticed something weird:
    As you can see, there's two copies of the song "Spring Vacation".  One, which is downloaded, and another one, which looks like it attempted to download, but did not.  I would like to remove the attempted download from the list, but I have not been able to do this.  I have done a hard reset on the iPad, and have turned off and re-enabled iTunes Match, but it still remains.
    Any solution to remove this annoyance would be much appreciated.
    Thanks!

    The only solution for these "ghost tracks" is to erase all contents on the device, then restore it from a backup.

  • My App Store ( app ) is stuck with a recent download screen on display.  No other app features ( App Store ) are available.

    A recent App Download resulted in that App Download Screen getting stuck on my App Store display. Every re-open attempt ( App Store ) still has the stuck app in the display.  I can not access further App Store features, downloads, updates etc. What to do?

    Have you tried closing the App Store app via the iPad's multitasking bar and seeing if it works when you re-open it ? Double-click the home button to open the taskbar, and then swipe or drag the App Store app's screen from there up and off the top of the screen to close it, and click the home button to close the taskbar.
    If that doesn't fix it then you could try a soft-reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • HT1386 my iPhone won't sync my playlist with my newest downloaded songs. it says the synced but when I look on my phone, they aren't there. it's been like this for a week. I've tried everything, restarting my phone and computer, reverting the phone. nothi

    .

    Amazing steps you've done so far! The great news is this is very unlikely an issue with your iPhone.
    I've run into a similar issue lately as well. I narrowed it down to one song that was causing 30 songs not to sync. I removed the song from the sync list (unchecked it) and all 29 songs were able to sync.
    You may be running into a similar issue. This may be a problem with this version of iTunes, an issue with one song or a group of songs; hard to know for sure. It's important to narrow down and isolate the cause. Most imporantly get that music back on there!
    The way to narrow down the casue add just a few songs at a time (even 1, just to get that first sync finished). Manually syncing is what you'll need here.
    Plug in your iPhone, on the Summary screen (shows a picture of your iPhone, the iOS version, Restore iPhone....; etc). Under the Options area at the bottom choose to Manually Manage Videos and Music then choose Apply in the lower right. The music that's on your iPhone now should be removed from your iPhone now. You're now able to sync music manually.
    The link below explains how to drag the songs from the iTunes library on the computer on to your iPhone which will start the sync. Add just one song just to see if you can get 1 of those hundreds of songs on there. If you can, awesome! Keep adding until you find the song or group of songs that are causing this issue.

  • TS1362 iTunes Partially downloaded songs

    I downloaded an album in iTunes but most of the songs cut out early. I think the download must have been interrupted but how do I re-download the files without paying for the album again?
    Thanks!

    If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the tracks and try redownloading fresh copies:
    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.

    I downloaded an album containing 14 songs. Four of them downloaded completely. How do I get the rest of the 10 other songs to complete?

    If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the 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".

  • Playlist shuffle for Ipod Nano?  or am I stuck with same order of songs?

    Is there a shuffle option for the nano where I can vary the order of the songs played? It gets really onld knowing which song is going to come on next.

    In the settings menu, make sure that shuffle is set to "songs". Then select any playlist/album/artist/genre etc, then press play (not select). The songs within the category you selected will be shuffled.

  • Has anyone got a clue how to remove Iso5 or am I stuck with it once downloaded?

    I have recently purchased a Iphone 4. I had the Iso4 software installed put have updated to Iso5.
    DISASTER!!!!
    The menus are sluggish, the app games run slower than a comador 64. Angry Birds in particular its bity and slow. The screen freezes and bunches the apps together and the phone wont switch off!!
    I saved up and purchased the phone on pay as you go, does this affect my warranty? If i cannot remove the Iso5 I want a new phone because it is garbage!!

    You think??? 
    Was that really necesary? I admire and respect those that have reached your level on this forum. I just don't understand the sarcasm,and contempt shown so often to newer members that try to participate in these forums. It cerntainly doesn't encourage inclusion.Maybe that's the intent? I'm sure I'll get flamed for my reply to you,but just couldn't stand to stay silent. Have a lovely weekend.

  • HT204406 I authorized a second computer on my iTunes account, and downloaded my library from the Cloud to my new computer. However, many songs only partially downloaded, and now I'm having a hard time getting rid of them to do full downloads.

    I authorized a second computer on my iTunes account and tried to get my first computer's library on my second computer via the Cloud. Many of the songs only partially downloaded, and I am having a hard time getting rid of the library with the partial downloads (so I can get full songs). I am considering nuking the current iTunes on the second computer and re-installing, giving myself a clean slate to work with. Is this the right way to go?

  • How to Reload a Partially Downloaded Podcasts??

    Occasionally an podcast in one of my iTunes podcast subscriptions is only partially downloaded due to a connection or network problem.
    Is there a way to instruct iTunes to reload it so the full podcast can be obtained? I have not found one. Thanks

    I use a similar jury rigged solution. I simply delete the podcast subscription with the partial download and resubscribe through the iTunes store or the producers website.
    I wish Apple would include a reload capability in the right-click menu that deleted the partial podcast and its record in the corresponding subscription counter. I'm sure it will come in time.
