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'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.)

  • 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.

  • Cant buy from itunes store, message says there was a problem downloading - the network connection could not be made

    recently changed my PC and successfully exported my itunes library. My problem is that when I now try to buy a song I get a message saying that there was a problem downloading (song) and that the network connection could not be made. Occasionally I get that the itunes store is temporarily unavailable and to try again later. The old PC was running Windows XP and the new one Windows Vista. I have already tried downloading a fresh version of itunes and ticked the repair option. Everything else appears to be working normally. Can anyone help please?

    Still having trouble, the computer is authorized and appears normal in its function. Recently discovered that while it lists items I have purchased on another device it will not let me download to this computer and shows the same message as above. Also noticed that itunes says it is not connected to the internet which cannot be true because the list of previous purchases appears. Any help gratefully appreciated

  • Itunes question: I purchased 2 songs and they charged me but it didn't download.  Said "there was a problem downloading.  internet connection was reset."  What do I do?

    Hi Robertfrom Denver.
    Did you try the solution given, and if yes, did it work?
    I have done several "attempted downloads, and see the full file download, typically taking 30 minutes to complete, and then something goes wrong.
    I am happy to suspend AV and FW software, but would like to know if it is a good fix or not first?

  • Ipad ios 4.2 update error - "there was a problem downloading the software..

    Hi All -
    Super excited to get 4.2.1 up and running. I had the buggy beta of 4.2 running on my iPad but now when I try to restore my iPad to get the most recent version of 4.2.1 running, I get this error:
    "There was a problem downloading the software for the iPad. The requested resource was not found.
    I've restarted iTunes and the computer and I'm still getting the same error. I've looked for the .ipsw file online but can't seem to find it anywhere. It's not an Apple's Support/Downloads section either.
    Anyone know where to download the new update? I'm dying without Airplay, Airprint and so on not working here.
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    this should have been addressed by Apple I guess, but luckily we found out the solution in the company. Yesterday all our iPads (with 4.2 beta iOS for dev) stopped working, displayed the Connect to iTunes scrren and throw errors when trying to sync like 'The requested resource was not found' (when tried to Restore) and Error Code: 0xE800005D (when iTunes first just tried to reinstall apps).
    Here is what we did to reanimate all four iPads in the company:
    First you need to enter Recovery mode with the iPad, then recover the iOS software (probably the latest). Here is how to do it:
    1) Fire up iTunes on your computer, and plug in the USB cable in the computer, but not in the iPad!
    2) Do a hard reset, ie. press and hold down Sleep/Wake and Home buttons simultaneously, don't bother with the switch off prompt, just keep pushing the buttons.
    3) When the screen goes blank, but before the Apple logo comes up, release the Sleep/Wake button and quickly plug in the USB into the iPad too. Keep pushing the Home button, until the Recovery mode dialog in iTunes comes up.
    4) Act according to the prompts, and wait for the image to download and extract (can be 10-15 minutes depending on your internet connection, the image is some 550Mb).
    That's it, you can safely restore your apps and other content to your recovered iPad.
    Hope this helps,
    David

  • I am trying to update to iOS5, but after the download completes, I get an error message "There was a problem downloading the software for my iPad2. The network connection timed out." Any suggestions?

    I am trying to update to iOS5 on my iPad 2, but after the download completes, and file processing starts, I get an error message "There was a problem downloading the software ... the network connection timed out."  Diagnostic tests check out OK.  Any suggestions?

    Temporarily disable your firewall and security software and see if that helps.

    I have an old iPhone 3Gs with software version 4.3.5,  I am trying to use it again, and it works fine, but I have not been able to update the software.  Every time I try, I get the following message:

  • Error while downgrading from ios6(beta4) to ios5.0.1.. i am getting error "there was a problem downloading the software for the iphone" any idea???

    Hi,
        I tried to downgrade my iphone4s os from ios6 (beta 4) to ios 5.0.1(factory settings).
    but all the time i am getting the following error.
    "there was a problem downloading the software for the iphone "rams's iPhone" "
    pls help me to downgrade my device.
    I am from india, ios6 maps are not at all working for india so i want to go for old version so that i can have google maps.
    Regards
    Ram

    You couldn't go back to 5.0.1 even if you wanted to, it would have to be 5.1.1 but if you had a signed copy of the iOS 6 beta on your iPhone I don't believe you can go back.
    You can try Google to see if you can find a workaround. Despite the map issue, if you are a developer don't you need the Beta on your iPhone?

  • Restore error message: "There was a problem downloading the iPod software"

    I am trying to restore my iPod and keep getting this message when I try: "There was a problem downloading the iPod software for the iPod "iPod". The requested resource was not found." HELP! What do I do next???

    Hi BigIRv,
    Actually, a "requested resource" error message (which I believe you are getting) most of the time has to do with iTunes having a problem with connecting to your iPod, rather than the iPod software update server (although a more rare possibility of this error message could occur in that sense).
    See my post here, which contains a couple of things to try if you have that error message:
