"There was an error downloading your purchased music. The disk could no..."

I am trying to download a Video from the new iTunes 6 and I do have an iPod Video, but for some reason everytime I check for purchases to download it, I get this error message: "There was an error downloading your purchased music. The disk could not be read from or written to."
For some reason the Apple Team cannot seem to help me with this, does anyone have any idea what is going wrong? I have purchased the video about 1 1/2 ago and no one has helped me from Apple yet. Please let me know....Thanks so much!

I had this same issue today. I was able to download songs but not videos. It turned out that the machine that I was downloading on was my work machine and my music storage location was redirected to my company server. The path was
\\Rgafiles-2\bcross$\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Music
I suspected that this redirection was an issue so I installed iTunes on another maching and was able to successfully download the song locally. I then copied the .m4v file to my original machine.

    While downloading purchased items, message pops 'There was an error downloading some purchased items stopped err = 3259'

    You'll have to check your security software settings, iTunes has to be able to connect to Apple servers during the download process.

  • Error Downloading your purchased music

    I keep getting this error "The disk could not be read from or written to. Use the Check for Purchased Music command in the Advanced menu to try again later"
    I have purchased a video from Itunes, but every time I run the Check for Purchased Music I keep getting the same error. Any help?

    Okay...I was able to contact their support and they sent me the following email. However, none of their initial steps seems to work for my case. I have done each of the steps listed in Windows: http://www.info.apple.com/kbnum/n93976. I am still getting the same error. Maybe, it will work for you guys. I am have responded back to them letting them know that it is still not working correcting for me.

    I am running Itunes 6.0.1.3
    I ran through the steps that you provided and found that I do still have this video in my queue. However, when I go to Advanced -> Check for Purchases....I still receive the error (See attached image). It acts like it wants to download, but then it stops.
    I am currently running on a wireless Home Network using High Speed DSL from BellSouth. I have checked my firewall setting and it appears to be open to Itunes. (See attached image)
    The OS is XP with SP 2.
    Let me know if this is enough information.
    Thanks for the quick response,
    Patrick

  • Says that there was an error downloading my purchase and to check for downlads avaiable in store but cant find where?

    I bought a song and as it was downloading an error occured saying that it could be corrupt and could not be downloaded- to look at itunes stores for to check for avavilablity- I cant find where to do that=)

    Yes.  You need to correct the billing descrepancy before you can use the iTunes store.  Write down what error you are getting, and open a support request at expresslane.apple.com for the iTunes store.  They can check the issue and get a solution for you.

  • "Error downloading purchased music. Disk could not be read or written to.

    I just purchased an album. It downloaded 23 of the 25 tracks until it gave me this error: "There was an error downloading your purchased music. The disk could not be read from or written to."
    I double checked my hard drive space and found I had about 1 gig left, which is a small percentage of my harddrive, but plenty of space for a few songs. But, just to be sure, I deleted an old iMovie project to free up another 20 gigs. I restart the iMac and ran iTunes.
    iTunes told me, "The file 'iTunes Library' does not appear to be a valid music library file. iTunes has attempted to recover your music library and renamed this file to 'iTunes library (Damaged).'" I pressed Ok to this message and the next, which asked if I wanted to download the rest of my purchased music. I held out hope that the songs would download -- that the iTunes and wonderously repaired itself.
    Nope. It seems to actually download the songs, but fails to actually write them to disk. I check my permissions for the iTunes Library folder and I have read & write access. Furthermore, I ran Repair Permissions from Disk Utility. Still, no dice.
    So, I thought I'd purchase a second album, just to see if it was the two songs (maybe corrupted). Now, I can't get any songs out of the new album in addition to the original two misfit songs. It seems that whatever happened has no prevented me from downloading and saving anything from the Music Store.
    I am beginning to fear a hard drive failure, though everything else seems not to care (including iMovie 6). Does anyone have any other tips to offer? I'll give anything a try at this point. If worse comes to worse, I'll travel to my local Apple Store Genius Bar and see what they can do.
    Thanks in advance.

    Answered my own question. After I thought I had tried everything, it occurred to me to Verify Disk. Doing so revealed a minor bitmap error. So, using my trusty install disk, I booted my machine to the disk and repaired it.
    After the repair, I started iTunes and was able to download my songs. Unfortunately, my original library file was permanently damaged, so I had to start with a clean one. However, if the worst thing to happen to me in all this is that I have to redefine my playlists, then I'm better off.
    I hope this thread helps someone in the future.

  • ITunes Error "There was an error storing your authorization information ...

    I cannot play music downloaded from itunes. I have a dell computer with Windows XP Media with 4 users set up. One user has an itunes library that we downloaded music from itunes and got the following messages when trying to access the song.
    1. open itunes and click on purchased song
    2. the authorize computer pop-up window says this computer is not authorized to play "my doorbell", would you like to authorize it?
    3. I enter the name and password and click authorize.
    4. itunes tells me you have authorized 1 out of 5 machines.
    5. I click ok and another pop-up box tells me "There was an error storing your authorization information on this computer. The required file was not found or has permission errors. Correct the permission problem and try again or deauthorize this computer if the permissions cannot be changed."
    I followed the suggestions from a 3/21/06 posting on this matter, to the best of my ability, to no avail.
    I've uninstalled itunes, run my disk cleanup utility to remove all unnecessary files (hoping to remove any orphan files) and re-installed itunes which did nothing. the 3/21 posting said to delete the library itl file and imported the library xml file (again). I am not sure what that means so I did not take this step.
    Any help would be appreciated.-lpo

    Hmmm... I know this issue as been covered before in these post by Katrina and B noir, try searching the post Im looking now to see if I can find it
    OK I found it, go here and follow the link Katrina offers http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=2160752&#2160752
    Also make sure "Fast User Switching" is off for the 4 accounts you have on this PC and that the account you have downloaded content on is a adminisrtative one

  • There was an error storing your authorization information...

    With iTunes 5 I went to the music store and tried to double-click a song just to hear a preview (Black Eyed Peas, Let's Get it Started). I was asked to authorize my computer, it said I had authorized 4 of 5 correctly (I have only 2 machines using it, but whatever) and then I got this error:
    "There was an error storing your authorization information on this computer.
    The requested directory was not found or there was a permissions error. Correct this permissions problem and try again, or deauthorize this computer if the permissions cannot be changed."
    I'm on Windows, with admin access, so it's not a permissions problem. I checked the Apple Computer folder in my Documents and Settings\Application Data folder, and I have write permissions there. I deauthorized this computer, but it gave me the exact same error.
    In the knowledge base there is a fix for Macs, but nothing listed for PCs. I had no problems using the store with iTunes 4.9, this is a new problem for me with 5.0. So, until there's a fix, no ITMS purchases for me!

    I'm having this problem as well. I'm dissapointed it's so hard to find information on the subject.
    One of the things I guessed might have bee a problem is that my music files are on a file server on the network but when I changed the iTunes music folder location back to my local drive, I still hade the problem.
    Another non-standard setup I have is a recent HD change. I copied my partitions to a new drive via PQ Partition Magic. I've had no problems with any other app, but I can't help but wonder if iTunes stores some kind of invisible autorization information in a hidden section of the partition that it can no longer access.
    In any case, a word from the fine folks at Apple would sure help. What do you guys have to say?

  • Adobe Application Manager indicates updates avail. -- attempts to download result in 'There was an error downloading this update. Please quit and try again later.' - pls advise!

    I have a Windows PC - OS: Win 7 Home Premium, SP1
    I recently had to have my hard drive replaced and, as result, had to reinstall the Adobe products I own: Acrobat 10, Premiere Elements & Photoshop 9
    I assume as part of reinstalling the software the Adobe Application Manager was installed as well - regardless, it indicates 'updates are available' -- however when I open the updater I am receiving the error message:
    'There was an error downloading this update. Please quit and try again later'
    The full message is as follows:
    'Adobe Photoshop Elements 9.0.3 Update
    There was an error downloading this update. Please quit and try again later.
    Photoshop Camera Raw 6.5 Update
    There was an error downloading this update. Please quit and try again later.
    Premiere Elements 9.0.1 Updater
    There was an error downloading this update. Please quit and try again later.'
    Please advise!! thank you kindly
    (secondary problem: whenever I open Elements or Photoshop and I am asked to log in with my Adobe ID, I get the error message 'Error. Photoshop.com services are currently unavailable. Please try again later or check your network connections. Error 400'. Now I know photoshop.com was replaced with Revel - but why is it consistently giving me the same error message? shouldn't it be updated by now or, specifically, is this indicative of a different problem when I attempt to login with my Adobe ID??)
    thank you so much for any help provided!!

    I don't know why you are getting these errors.  Try downloading & installing the updates manually from http://www.adobe.com/downloads/updates.html

  • I own Photoshop CS5 and i get messages that there are updates available, but when I go to download and install them i  get the message "There was an error downloading this update. Please quit and try again later. "  What can I do to resolve this?
