Trying to download purchased music to iPhone. 2 of 20 songs won't load because they "cannot be converted."

I purchased an album with 20 songs today on iTunes. I tried to transfer it to my iPhone today via a USB cable. It downloaded 18 songs, but two of them wouldn't go across because they "cannot be converted." The files are all AAC, so I'm not sure what to do.

Assuming you are in a region where you are allowed to redownload your past purchases, delete the current copies from your iTunes library, go to the iTunes Store home page, click 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 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.

Error (-50) When Trying To Download Purchased Music

Hello -
I recently upgraded to iTunes 7.0.1. Since then, I cannot download purchased music. I get the following error message:
There was a problem downloading X (name of song). An unknown eror occurred (-50).
I have never had problems downloading purhcased music before. Is there a known bug/issue with 7.0.1?
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

I am having the SAME PROBLEM and it's driving me NUTS! I couldn't find an answer here so I emailed iTunes support. Here is what they said:
The error you describe may be caused by the presence of web
acceleration or firewall software. While the iTunes Store is unable to provide
technical support, I can recommend that you either test your connection to
the iTunes Store without the presence of this software or configure
your system to allow access to the iTunes Store's address.
However, I'm not sure that is my problem because my computer is new, (I have a macbook), I haven't downloaded any kind of software other than software updates from apple, I use safari, and my roommate has no problem d-loading onto her computer. Also, the album I purchased comes with an interactive booklet and that downloads without a problem. So, I don't know. I just emailed them again and I'll respond to this thread if I get a solution. Otherwise, please let me know if you figure it out!

Error messages everytime itunes tries to download purchased music

We got a new computer recently, and on our old computer I believe we had itunes 5, and we had a 30 gb 5th gen that we downloaded purchased music onto. we can only get dial up connection where we live, and we never had an issue downloading, it just took awhile.
Now that we have our new computer, we also added an 80gb to the newer itunes (7?) we put on the new computer. I have purchased 3 songs, and everytime i try to download them, it says the network connection has timed out, or to check the network connection, etc. Not even a snippet of the song gets downloaded. It pretty much immediately goes to the error message.
Is itunes 7 set up to only be used with a broadband connection to download? Our internet connection is never the issue. Its pretty irritating to have songs ive purchased and not be able to put them on our ipods.
Any help would be appreciated, as im not too computer literate, and i cant figure this out.

I am trying to download purchased music onto my iPad but it says error every time, with every song. Why is this?

I previously purchased songs from my iPhone but I now can't download it to my iPad mini. It keeps coming up with a message say error please retry

Hi Baldwin13,
Sorry to hear you are having issues downloading songs you have purchased to your iPad mini.
One thing I would suggest is to transfer your purchased content from the iPhone to your computer. Then you can re-sync your iPad Mini to your iTunes Library on the computer.
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
If you want to transfer iTunes Store purchases from an iOS device or iPod to a computer, be sure to authorize the computer before connecting the device. After connecting your device to the computer and its icon appears in iTunes, go to the File menu, then Devices, and choose Transfer Purchases from "(Your device name)".
Or, you can Show Sidebar from the View menu, and then right-click (Windows or Mac) or Control-click (Mac only) your device in the iTunes Source list, then choose Transfer Purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
Please note that this feature works only for items that were purchased on the iTunes Store. Any items imported from audio CDs or acquired from other sources will not copy from your device to the iTunes library. Please see this article for more details.
Next, I would Reset the iPad Mini:
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
Then follow the instructions below:
Can't connect to the iTunes Store
Troubleshooting on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
If you haven't been able to connect to the iTunes Store:
Make sure that your iOS software is up to date by connecting your iOS device to iTunes and clicking on Check for Update in your device's Summary page in iTunes.
Check and verify that you are in range of a Wi-Fi router or base station. If you are on a 3G capable device, make sure that cellular data is turned on fromSettings > General > Cellular.
Note: If connected to 3G, larger items may not download. You may need to connect to Wi-Fi to download apps, videos, and podcasts.
Check to make sure you have an active internet connection. You can check the User Guide for your device for help with connecting to the internet.
Check to make sure other devices (portable computers, for example) are able to connect to the Wi-Fi network and access the internet.
Try resetting (turning off and then on again) your Wi-Fi router
If the issue still persists see, iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections or iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections.
Note: All iPhone, and iPod touch models support 802.11b/g Wi-Fi networks. In addition, iPhone 4, and iPod touch (4th generation) support 802.11n Wi-Fi networks (2.4 GHz only).
Hopefully, these steps will resolve your issue.
Have a great day!

I'm trying to download free music, but Quicktime keeps hijacking the song.

Every time I click on the download button for a song, Quicktime hijacks Internet Explorer and just brings me to a page where it plays the song. How can I fix this?
It seems that if I had Pro I would be able to save these files, but I don't want to do that. This is free media and I shouldn't have to pay for it.

Thanks, I tried that.
This is what comes up when I right-click on the download button:

When I left-click on the download button, again, I get the quicktime screen. Thanks for any help.

Some of the albums in the Beatles package I downloaded from itunes will not sync with my iPhone 5. Some songs won't play. They did sync to my iPad and they all play on my iPad. What can I do? I've already deleted all songs from the iPhone and re-synced.

I downloaded the entire Beatles collection from iTunes in 2011. Some songs skip and won't play. Some albums won't sync to the phone but they sync to my iPad. I've deleted the entire music library from my iPhone, shut the phone down, turned the phone on and synced again to add the music but now 2 albums won't even sync (Rubber Soul and Revolver). I've tried dragging the songs to the iPhone, no luck. Any thoughts?

Sounds like you may need to re-download the entire albums from iTunes. See this KB article for how to download past purchases: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519.
I'd suggest doing it one album at a time. Delete one, download it from your purchase histor, then the next, etc.

Purchasing music from iPhone

How does it work if I purchase music on iPhones? Will the songs be transfered from iPhone to my computer when I sync? Or will the music download from iTunes to my computer when I open iTunes on the computer?
Is the song quality the same regardless if it is purchased via iPhone or my computer?
Thanks

If you purchase music on your iPhone it will be the same quality as if you purchase it on your computer. After purchasing the music the next time you sync to your computer the purchased music will be transferred to your iTunes Library and then you can back it up. If your iPhone is set to autosync this will be done as part of the sync, if you are manually managing your music you will have to go into iTunes and direct the transfer of the songs.
It is a good idea to sync ASAP as soon as possible after your purchase, and make sure you are syncing on your computer and you are logged into the same iTunes account that you used to purchase the music on the iPhone.

Downloading Purchased Music

When trying to download purchased music I am getting an error message - You do not have enough privileges for this operation.
Can someone please help me.

Under normal conditions there is NO free re-download - Apple strongly recommends to backup purchased music.
So far the bad news.
Now the better ones:
If you've got an iPod that has been synched recently, you may use tools like yamipod, ipod copy or others to retrieve your tracks.
If that's not the case, try contacting http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/musicstore/lostmusic/
Some users reported that they were granted free re-downloads

Trouble downloading purchased music books on ipad2 it stops with a cocoa error message Yet the book downloads perfectly to my iphone5 and MacAir

I am trying to download a music bookI purchaed on my ipad2 It won't complete the download A message saying cocoa 503 (might have wrong numbers) would appear.Only about 2/3 of downo=load would work However, the book has downloaded perfectly to my iphone5 and MacAir. What can I do??Thanks

I am having an almost identical problem and hoped that iOS 6 and the new iTunes would fix it. Regrettably, I again got 3 movies synced last night before iTunes locked up and gave me the xxxx cannot be synced "because the file cannot be written" message. Same deal with iTunes hanging on "finishing sync" after that and me having to remove the iPad from the cable to get things to come back to life on the PC (Win 7 64 bit).
I've also done a factory restore followed by a restore from backup and have the same problem.
