Unable to download music purchased on my iphone

I am having trouble downloading songs purchased on my iphone.  There are 90 songs that will sync to my computer but I get the following message when trying to download on the iphone:
Unable to download
"the song" could not be downloaded at this time
Why is this?

Hi Stallingsgnp,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
Did you have a backup of your iPhone in iTunes or iCloud?  If so, you can restore the new iPhone with that information.   What happens when you try to sync with your iMac?  Do you get an error message?  Here are a couple of troubleshooting resources for you:

I hope this information helps ...

  • How to download music purchased with my iPhone to my macbook pro, how to download music purchased with my iPhone to my macbook pro

    I purchased a bunch of songs with my iPhone 3GS, but I ended up breaking it without having synced may 20+ songs I'd purchased.  I haven't been able to figure out how to re-download those songs onto my MacBook Pro (running OS X 10.6.8).  I can't use iCloud because my OS version isn't compatible.  Anyone know what I need to do?

    Oh, wait, I've found it. Silly me!

    Cdadd,
    If by any chance you have made purchases with more than one account, you must check for past purchases separately for each account.

  • While trying to download music on my new iPhone it says I can't for 90 days.

    I have my own and only spple ID associated with my windows laptop, iPod touch, and recently purchased iPad and pre owned iPhone.
    I was able to download my music with my Apple ID on my brand new iPad but I recently bought an iPhone 5s from someone else, not at a store.
    The first thing that I did was restore it through iTunes, and set up as new device. I tried to download past purchases on the iPhone but it says "This device is already associated with an Apple ID. If you turn on automatic downloads with your Apple ID, you cannot auto download or download past purchases with a different Apple ID for 90 days"
    What does that mean? It gave me an option to cancel and transfer. I hit transfer and it downloaded the song I wanted to download. Is that going to affect my purchases in any way?
    As I mentioned, I have no problems on the iPod touch and iPad but with this pre owned iPhone it showed me that message.
    Now it's letting me download everyday song I want after I hit transfer.
    I've tried to do a research on this but I just can't understand what this mean and if there will be any consequences. I hope someone can explain what's going on, thanks!

    That's what 'transfer' meant?
    I really don't use another Apple ID for music, and I'm keeping the iPhone so I guess I'll be ok then, I can download music on the iPhone now without any problems after I hit Transfer, thank you

  • I am unable to download free apps on my iphone, it ask for credit card info why is that needed if the app is free?

    I am unable to download free apps on my iphone,it ask for credit info.When i try to download it's telling me (There is a billing problem with a previous purchase)So i went into my account.It's showing a purchase inside of pokerist.com which i never made.I have a outstanding balance of 33.00 which i do not have.I only use that card to activate my account, that's why the payment didn't go threw.I do not use that account.So please can someone fix my account so i can get my life back.PLEASE

    If you have an existing ID, & you don't want to use a credit card, you'll have to redeem an iTunes gift card. If you don't want to do that, you'll have to create a new ID by following the directions here, EXACTLY:

    I don't understand. Are you saying the CD will not play on any of your CD drives? What happens when you try? Have your tried the CD in a non-computer CD player, such as a car player?
    Which album is this?

  • "An unknown error occurred (-50)" keeps coming up when downloading music purchase?

    "An unknown error occurred (-50)" keeps coming up when downloading music purchase, 3 songs from the album came through but the last one is having problems. I've refereed to the itunes store FAQ and tried the solutions provided, but still not working?
    The firewall on the mac is turned on, however I don't have any Web Accelerators, Ad Filters and I've just recently uninstalled my Virus Protection Software.
    I'm not sure how to go about fixing this problem, and the solution provided by Apple doesn't seem to help me at all.
    Does anyone know? Thanks in advance! (:

  • I am unable to download my purchased book to my ipad

    I am unable to download my purchased book to my ipad.  Can you please advise?

    I have been asking this same question for two weeks now...ever since I upgraded to iOS 5.  I have backed up, synced, deleted iBook app then reinstalled, restarted iPad, reinstalled newest version of iTunes with and without firewall on my PC...all of this several times.  ALL other apps work fine, but iBooks will not download from iCloud
    No one has replied here, and apple support has sent me links to pages describing how to do all these things I've already done!
    I still have NO access to any of my iBooks orbPDFs (75+).  I hope someone can help us.  This is extremely frustrating.  Ive had to repurchase ebooks from other vendors so I can complete my university assignments.

  • Unable to download music or video directly to mobo...

    in Nokia 710, unable to download music or video directly from internet explorer. Not having option to connect internet through pc suite. Unable to download apps from market place from debit card or net banking. Not having adobe flash player. Unable to edit office files who comes from mail. Totally Nokia 710 is famous for showing error msg that windows phone can't support this type of file. Totally waste.

    You can stream music and videos from Internet Explorer (or SkyDrive). In order to transfer media to your phone, you use Zune.
    You can download free (and trial) apps without a credit card but you can't buy apps.
    Adobe Flash Player for mobiles is dead. It will dissapear from all mobiles. Simple as that.
    Instead of just complaining, why not add (and vote for) suggestions over at the offical user voice site:
