Trouble downloading an MP3

I installed iTunes recently in order to use it to put podcasts on my ipod shuffle. I have installed iTunes in the past on another computer for this purpose and have had no problems. In that case the installation of iTunes did NOT include Quicktime. My current problem is that when I attempt to download an MP3, Quicktime gets involved and apparently downloads the file. But when I search the C-drive for the file, I cannot find it (Does quicktime change the name of the MP3 file?). In the past I have used Realplayer to download mp3's. It prompts me to ask where I want the MP3 stored. If I uninstall Quicktime (which I didn't want in the first place) iTunes becomes disabled. It now seems to require that Quicktime also be installed. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

See if any of these suggestions help you.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
Make sure that you do not have a stalled download in iTunes - a song or podcast .... if you have a download in there that did not finish, complete that one first. Only one thing can download at a time on the iPad so that could be what is causing the problem.
If that doesn't work - sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
Settings>iTunes & App Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Go back to Settings>iTunes & App Store>Sign in and then try to update again. Tap one waiting icon only if necessary to start the download stream.
You can also try deleting the waiting icons - tap and hold down on an icon until it wiggles - the tap the X on the icon to delete it. Then try to download again.
You can try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered.
If all else fails, download the updates or the apps in iTunes on your computer and then sync the content to your iPad.

  • How to make automatic download for mp3 files [80 gb of mp3 files stored in GoDaddy]

    I'm building this site --> Matthew
    I want my visitors to download the mp3 simply by clicking the "down" blue icon. But here's the challenge, I can't do "Link to File" cause I have a lot mp3 files [80 gb total]. I believe Muse can't carry those in one file. I already stored those in my GoDaddy account.
    Right click "Save Links as.." is not an option.
    Hopefully there's another way to do it.
    Thanks!

  • Having trouble downloading itunes on my computer. i keep getting a error message that reads: apple sync notifier.exe- entry point not found.

    Hello, can anyone help me out there? Im having trouble downloading itunes on my computer.
    Ikeep getting a error message reading:
    #1  applesyncnotifer.exe- entry point not found.
    #2  the procedure entry point sqlite3-wal-checkpoint could not be located in the dynamic link library. sqlite3.d11.
    #3  service 'apple mobile device' (apple mobile device)

    With Windows Explorer, navigate to your C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support folder.
    Copy the SQLite3.dll that you should find there, navigate to the nearby Mobile Device Support folder, and Paste it in there also.
    Restart the programme all should be well
    In case that your OS is (64 bit)
    1. Open windows explorer, go to location C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
    2. Copy file "SQLite3.dll"
    3. Now paste it in the folder  C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support
    4. Restart the programme, it should not display that message, it should be clear.
    Good Luck

  • My iTunes is no longer working.  I uninstalled and reinstalled but the program won't open and run.  I was trying to download an mp3 file last evening and I think something has been deleted that I need to open the iTunes.  How do i figure out what is gone

    I uninstalled and reinstalled but the program still won't open.  I was trying to download an mp3 file last evening.  Instead the site tried to install a new audio player.  I did not want it so uninstalled it immediately.  I think in that process something was deleted that I need for iTunes but I do not know what.  How do i figure out what is gone and recover it?
    I did try a system restore - but that was not a fix either.

    Ackk ... that behavior is consistent with the play_mp3.exe trojan:

    Does the scan find any infections? If so, please paste the contents of the log file for the scan in a reply here so we can have a look.

  • I am having trouble downloading attachments from email

    I have an iPad 2 that has been upgraded to IOS 7.0.4. This was a problem before the update - which is the reason for the update but that's another story.
    So for now, iPad 2 IOS 7.0.4 16GB wifi/cell model
    I am having trouble downloading attachments. Not all. but some. a movie in particular and some documents.
    I would thingk it was the email account but I can open it on my iPhone without issue.
    I would've thought the link was bad but I forwarded it one of my other email accounts and it opens fine.
    I have restarted, rebooted, deleated the mail account and reloaded it.
    Still nothing. I have tried to save the video by clicking the "Save Video" icon when you tap and hold the video but it never saves.
    Sometimes it will act like it is going to save because I get a black screen and a rotating flower in the middle of the screen and it says "Loading" but it never does anything. Other times it will just give me a message that says "Can't download attachement".
    Any one have any thoughts?

  • Can I have a Mavericks disc mailed to my house? I had trouble downloading it through the App Store, and now it won't do anything at all when redownloading it.

    Can I have a Mavericks disc mailed to my house? I had trouble downloading it through the App Store, and now it won't do anything at all when redownloading it.

    Apple doesn't create installation disks for OSX 10.7 and later. You can create your own disk/USB bootable installer, but this requires downloading the installation package from the app store first.
    1) Make sure you have a stable internet connection. Try directly connecting via ethernet port, versus Wifi, if you are experiencing a weak Wifi Signal or intermediate loss of connectivity
    2) From the App Store, go to the Menu Bar, Store > Sign out.
    3) Navigate to the /Applications folder and drag the partially completed download of the installer to the trash.
    4) Open the App store, sign back in, and redownload Mavericks.

    Install 7-Zip (free), or a free trial of WinRAR, and use one of them to extract the contents of the iTunesSetup.exe or iTunesSetup64.exe installer file, then try installing AppleApplicationSupport.msi as a standalone component. Even if it won't install you may get a more useful error message as to why not.

    Taken at face value, you're having trouble with an Apple Application Support program file there. (Apple Application Support is where single copies of program files used by multiple different Apple programs are kept.)
    Let's try something relatively simple first. Restart the PC. If you're using Vista or 7, now head into your Uninstall a program control panel, select "Apple Application Support" and then click "Repair". If you're using XP, head into your Add or Remove Programs control panel, select "Apple Application Support", click "Change" and then click "Repair".
    If no joy after that, try the more rigorous uninstall/reinstall procedure from the following post. (If you've got XP, although the procedure is for Vista and 7, just read "Computer" as "My Computer", read "Uninstall a program control panel" as "Add or Remove programs control panel" and assume the system is 32-bit, and you'll be doing the right things.)

  • Trouble downloading movies due to "authorizing" error

    I am having trouble downloading video content from iTunes.  I get the error message that states that the computer is not authorized.  I went ahead and deauthorized all 5 computers that are associated with my account, and then reauthorized the computer.  When I tried to sync again to an iPod touch, I got the same error message.  Help!  I am wondering if there could be a problem associated with another iTunes account on the same computer??
