TS1424 "Unable to Download Song" message in iTunes app on iPod Touch?

I did look to see if this question was posted anywhere else, but did not see it. So if it has already been answered, my apologies.
I am hooked up to the wireless, logged into iTunes, credit card good to go. Every time I go to download a song, it stops with "download error" and then another message pops up stating "Unable to Download song" and that it could not be downloaded at this time. I've tried downloading other songs and the same thing happens.

I've been getting this problem too, seems the album/song as noted is corrupted (I did stop it halfway into downloadign when I was in Spain and didn't have a ton of bandwidth). I just need to delete this error message.
As seen here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/18244258#18244258
Swipe the failing song horizontally to get the red Delete option, then delete.
So easy once you know, no?
Once that failed "in progress" download was deleted, I asked iTunes to re-download it and it went through just fine.

  • Unable to download song/ Error in iTunes & App Store

    Hi the iTune store is quite unstable ever since iOS 7.0, either upgrading individual Apps in App Store or download music from iTunes from my cloud.
    I have perfect connection from time to time and bump in this problem often, it's not as frequent before iOS 7.0...
    Stability is one of the main reason that I stick with iPhone the whole time, please someone take this seriously?

  • HT4528 I've purchased a few dozen songs from itunes on my iphone. A few of these songs will not download properly and I keep getting a "unable to download song" message. My account info is correct and full signal.

    I've purchased a few dozen songs from itunes on my iphone. A few of these songs will not download properly and I keep getting a "unable to download song" message. My account info is correct and full signal. It seems to continually keep trying to download but cannot. Please help!

    i do understand that.  if you purchased the music on the phone.  its still available to you.  if you go in itunes on your computer.  go to purchases.  there should be all the music you have purchased.  there you can download the song if it isn't already and then sync it to your phone which will add the song to the phone.  have you tried to power off phone and then try to download again.   the itunes way is just another option. 

  • I 'm a novice..if i downloaded a free siriusxm radio app for ipod touch,are there any charges i.e. data etc.?

    i'm a novice..if i downloaded a free siriusxm radio app for ipod touch,are there any charges i.e. data etc.? or is it free

    You have to have the special SiriusXM account for listening and you must have a regular SiriusXM subscription. Cost is around $15.00 per month. The Live365 app only requires a $7.95 per month subscription and provides much more than SiriusXM.

  • Unable to download song message on my iphone 4 (only 1 song from an album)

    I purchased an album from the iTunes and 1 song out of the whole album keeps saying "Unable to download song"
    It also appears that that song is indeed already downloaded ?

    I have the same issue, and reported it over 2 weeks ago, but if you read all the topics on this forum it is clear it is a widespread issue, and they don't know how to fix it.
    Come on Apple, this is silly now, iPhone 5's are not cheap and too have no music at all is pretty bad! Even my 5 year old Nokia can do that!

  • I downloaded a song from an iTunes on my iPod Touch, and I want to know if I can access the same song from my computer to make a playlist?

    I downloaded/bought a song from an iTunes app on my iPod Touch, and I want to know if I can access the song on my home computer to make a playlist and cd?

    I added the song "Let Me Take You Home Tonight" by Boston by going to the iTunes Music Store and purchasing it as a ringtone.  If you do it from your computer you have to sync it to your iPod Touch.  Then in the alam sounds panel there is a place for "purchased"  Your song should appear there.

  • Cannot download songs bought on iTunes to my ipod (Nano)

    I cannot figure out how to add a song that I bought on iTunes to one of my playlists on my Nano ipod. Any suggestions?

    What happens when you try to sync?
    Does any media now sync to the iPod
    Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
    Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
    Do the songs play in iTunes?           
    Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?

  • No audio/visual on TV show downloaded from iTunes app on iPod touch

    I downloaded a $3.99 Avatar TV episode from the iTunes app on my 2nd gen iPod touch, and it seemed to go smoothly until I tried playing the episode. It appears to be playing but all I see is black and there is no audio. I restarted my iPod twice; still, same problem. I can't re-download it without paying again. I have downloaded other Avatar TV episodes the same way before, and they were fine. What went wrong with this one?

    As you connect the ipod touch to the computer, go to the ipod touch options (in devices), uncheck the manually manage.

  • Backing up albums downloaded directly from Itunes App on Ipod Touch

    My iPod touch is being sent for repair/replacement but i've bought a lot of content from the iTunes App on the iPod itself as i don't have my own PC or Mac. Is there any way I can keep the stuff I've paid for if they give me a new iPod? I.e. back it up somehow or maybe they can transfer all data to new one?

    Welcome to the discussion forums, Mike.
    I perceive that you do not use iTunes. If you use iTunes, it will back up your content. But, there are free or inexpensive 3rd party software tha will allow you to pull everything off your iPod onto a computer. Searching in this forum will turn up many hits such as

  • Accessing content in iTunes U through iTunes App on iPod Touch?

    Is there any way to access iTunes U content directly through the iTunes U app on an iPod Touch? Content from the "commercial" section of the iTunes Store can easily be searched and downloaded with an iPod Touch without the need of using iTunes software and syncing with an iPod. But this direct access is obviously not possible from the iTunes U section - even with a direct URL to iTunes U content. Has anyone discovered a solution for this problem?

    If so, I might start with the following document (your error message is a possible symptom of the issue too):

  • Everytime I try to download a song purchase from itunes I get the error message. 'Unable to Download Song' could not be downloaded at this time. I cannot even sync with itunes on the PC.

    Hi guys,
    I need some everytime I try to download a song purchase from itunes I get the error message. 'Unable to Download Song' could not be downloaded at this time. I cannot even sync with itunes on the PC.
    Kind regards

    One correction, from the icloud I was not able to listed to the entire song.  So when you purchased the song if it wasn't downloaded to your library, chances are you have lost your opportunity to listen to it.

  • Download error/unable to download song from itunes?

    I bought songs from itunes store but i can not get them downloded. What I have to do? I have this message showing under the title"download error. Tap to try"
    And anotner message appears: Unable to download song, "name of song" could not be downloaded at this time . Have 2 choice tick done or retry but always message comes up after several try... Would be happy if someone could help. Many thanks!

    Hi All,
    I see this is very old post, however only as of a couple of months back i'm getting a very similar fault.
    I run an iPhone 6 Plus, iPad Mini 2 (cellular) and a Macbook Pro - all using the same iTunes account for my iTunes Match. When the devices are connected to the home Wifi (SKY BROADBAND) not a single problem with the service - However when i attempt to use iTunes match on any device via 3G/4G the devices will skip songs 99% of the time and also not be able to stream previews from the iTunes store.
    I find if i have one of the devices on 3G/4G and turn iTunes match off and back on again, it may be able to stream a few songs ok. However this won't last for too long, and before long the issue will return.
    From a very broad perspective, you'd think that the issue is with the Cellular Service Provider (EE UK), but i've been in contact with their technical team, and are unable to find any issues on their end, as the phone and iPad are both connected OK to the internet via 3G/4G.
    I'm a Technical Analyst by profession, and have tried adjusting all settings, and turning accounts off and back on in different orders to try and find a pattern, but i'm left completely stumped.
    Does anyone have a resolution for this?!
    Please Please Help!!
    Kindest Regards,
    Dan

    Sounds like you have abn expired credit card linked o yoru accopunt.
    View your iTunes account payment info and select None for the CC.
    You may need to first add a valid card number before you can remove it.

  • TS3297 Hi, I've setup my new mini ipad today, restored a backup from icloud and all is fine.  However, when I try to download my music, they almost completely download then an error message pops up saying "unable to download songs" - can anyone help pleas

    Hi, I've setup my new mini ipad today, restored a backup from icloud and all is fine.  However, when I try to download my music, they almost completely download then an error message pops up saying "unable to download songs" - can anyone help please?

    So it appears iCloud/iTunes Match isn't the issue - the error message would seem to be complaining about where the music is being downloaded to. So with this in mind:
    In iTunes select Preferences and select Advanced. The iTunes media folder should be set to /Users/<your account>/Music/iTunes/iTunes Music. <your account> would be whatever your user account is. If you see something else there I'd guessing it is a folder you don't have permission to write to.
