Unable to download purchased songs.

Today, I purchased 5 songs and 1 video from iTunes. 3 of the songs downloaded giving me an "error (-50)" message. Then, the video downloaded perfectly fine. And then, the remaining 2 songs gave me an "error (-50)" message again. I looked on the support, but the only article that applies to "error (-50) has to do with videos, and the steps didn't help me at all. In fact, they recommended I go somewhere- to the "downloads" file in MyMusic/iTunes/iTunesMusic, but I couldn't locate a "downloads" file. What's wrong?

Go to \Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Music\Downloads\
Delete the Downloads folder (not a Downloads file).
If you cannot locate it, right clickon th eiTUNes folder and Search for "Downloads".
After you delete it, check for purchases again.

Unable to download new songs from iTunes

I have iTunes 7.6.2 and when I plug in my iPod I get 'syncing' then 'its ok to disconnect' message and I'm unable to download new songs I just bought. I tried this on 2 computers and the same results. One is running XP Pro SP1 and one is running Vista SP1 and the same issue with both pc's.
Any suggestions?

Upgrade OS X on your Mac.

Won't let me download purchased songs (error 8517), Won't let me download purchased songs (error 8517)

There's about 25 or so songs that I have purchased but can't download. Whenever I click on Downloads, It says there are 25 songs available for download, I click to download them and they all come up with an error. Someone suggested I go to Store --> Account --> and then click download purchased songs from there, if I do that in the library it seems to act like they're all about to download but none of them do. Anyone please help?

Error message when trying to download purchased songs

I purchased some albums on my ipad that synced to my iphone. I'm now trying to download my purchases to my library stored on my PC, but I'm getting an error/warning message along the lines of:
"You can download past purchases for up to 90 days.....You cannot assign another apple id to this computer for the next 30 days".
Does anyone have any ideas? I did have to sign my wife out of itunes before i signed in to download my songs so i assuming its something to do with that.

When trying to download purchased songs on ITunes, it

this error? Thanks
I am having the same problem. (err = -3259) and it's not listed in any of the error codes in Apple Support. Weird. Why have an error code and no reference for it.
First it happened when I tried to download a movie and I kept "checking for purchases" - didn't work - checked all my ad filters, privacy filters, firewall settings - didn't work. Then I forgot for a day, went back and it worked. Now I have three episodes of a TV show that will not download and I am getting the same error message. This time it has been a few days though...Someone who knows - Please HELP!!

If I understand you, you either want to re-download your Books or can't find them in the 'Purchased' section of iTunes.
To re-download your books connect your iPhone/iPad to iTunes via USB cable and open iTunes. click 'PURCHASED' from the 'QUICKLINKS' section on the far right hand side of your iTunes screen, select BOOKS from the menu bar and then select the book/s to download from the list and click DOWNLOAD.
If you can't see the books listed on this page then check you have 'ALL' selected from the ALL | NOT ON THIS COMPUTER options which are located on the top right hand side of the page.
Hope that helps.

HT1725 Unable to download purchased audiobook. The book says it was downloaded. Can't get to spot from iTunes to insert password. Please help!

Please help?

Your question/statement makes no sense.
"Unable to download purchased audiobook. The book says it was downloaded" What book is saying this? Is the audiobook talking to you?
"Can't get to spot from iTunes to insert password" This makes no sense to me either.
If you are trying to download a previously purchased audiobook, you can't do that. You get one download of an Audiobook and then you must purchase it again if you delete it or do not have it in your iTunes library to sync back to the iPd.
If you can't find the audiobook, look in the More Tab of the Music App.

I only have one iTunes account. The other day I made the mistake of downloading purchased songs and movies logged on another user account (Administrator) on the same computer. How do I consolidate all my purchases in my preferred user account?

I only have one iTunes account. The other day I made the mistake of downloading purchased songs and movies logged on another user account (Administrator) on the same computer. How do I consolidate all my purchases in my preferred user account?

copy the songs that you downloaded as admin and put it somewhere you can access it from you're preferred account (usb stick / cd / shared folder / external hard drive) log into with you preferred user account and drag and drop the files on top of the itunes icon and they will be imported.
if you have a second computer you could use home sharing to move the music from admin itunes to the second computer and from the second computer to the preferred itununes
ps you can only connect 5 computers to you're itunes account so don't forget to de-autorise when you no-longer wand it.

Hi there, how do I re-download purchased songs in iTunes?

Hi there,
How do I re-download purchased songs in iTunes? I have recently copied a large number of songs in to my iTunes folder and my purhcased songs have disappeared in the process. I am trying to play them but it is just asking me to locate them. They can no longer be found on the machine but are purchases form the apple store.
Thanks
