Unable to play songs that previously played -- "unknown error (-206)"

A few songs which I used to listen to often will no longer play in itunes match. I deleted them from my home machine so they live only in the cloud.
When playing the album it will skip the songs with no inidication that something has gone wrong. However, when I attempt to download I receive the following error:
"There was a problem downloading [Song Title] / [Album Title] / [Artist]. An unknown error occurred (-206). Please check that the network connection is active and try again."
What can I do to resolve?

Delete and redownload it if doing so is free in your country.

  • IPhone will not play songs that previously worked. Red circle with stop square in the middle.

    What should i do to get my iphone to find these songs again. They work fine on itunes, and as i said, they used to work fine on my phone. recently I synced my phone and added a few new songs, once i did that i noticed that about 50-100 different songs or so just no longer play. this is ********! It seems the iphone thinks theyre there but not fully transfered to my phone.... ive resynced my phone several times and its still not helping.... WAY TO GO APPLE!

    Try restoring the iPhone to factory settings via iTunes and then to re-sync.
    Before you attempt this, restart your iPhone and see whetehr issue is sorted.

  • How can I go back the same song that was playing when I switched and watched a movie?

    How can I go back to the same song and place in the song that was playing when I started watching a movie?  I have over 6k songs and now my ipod always goes back to #1 even though I may have been listening to # 321.  How do I ever get to listen to all my songs.  Yes I have it on random but if I look at the songs I have played lots of them have played 15-20 times amd many more 6-8 times.  At this point I don't feel I will ever hear the latest songs I added. 
    Any help will be greately appreciated.  Also is it possible to do the same on the new ipod classic 160?

    One area that this appears is on Facebook where it lists the number of Recognized Devices. There are six devices which include iPad and iPhone. These items are grayed and you are unable to change. Also on my iphone it lists the computer name. This name is different from name of my computer. It's what I signed in as when I installed the Mountain Lion upgrade. I know I'm not doing a good job of explaining this. I have searched everywhere on my computer that I can think of and cannot locate where this is used. Any suggestions are appreciated.

  • Can anyone help me find a song I heard over and over in St. Lucia in April, 2007?  It was a reggae or soca song that was played regularly in the resort we stayed at and all over the island where we visited.  I need a few options to listen to and confirm.

  • Ipod touch 5 - when in song suffle mode, a random album will suddenly appear on the screen and then it is difficult to get back to the song that is playing

    Just "upgraded" to a new ipod touch 5th generation after previously using various ipod classics.  So I am not familiar with all the ins and outs of the device.  One thing that I have a problem with is the fact that there does not seem to be a simple way, while in shuffle mode to quickly move to the next song or back to the prior song.  But forgetting that for a moment, here is my problem and I am trying to figure out if it is a bug or simply some kind of "feature" of the ipod touch that I don't get.
    I am playing music...in song - shuffle mode.  All of a sudden, instead of the particular song that is playing, a different album shows up on the screen.  Meanwhile, the original song keeps playing.  When this happens, sometimes that album then starts playing and sometimes I am able to move the ipod touch in various directions and I can get back to the song that I was originally playing.  Any idea what is happening here and how to stop it?
    Thanks for any help.

    Hello Philly,
    I believe that when you reset your ipod(command given from the computer, right?)  touch WHILE the ipod was updating, It cleared the system in the middle of writing files, thus corrupting(equivalent of cutting of in the middle of a sentence) the basic running system.
    I suggest you go to an apple store and ask for a technical diagonosis in person. they may offer to help if the problem is fixable. If your ipod is still under warrenty, i would guess it would be free/low cost.

  • How do you get Itunes to go the free radio station list, I'm not talkiing about the one that lists the price next to the song that's playing, I'm talking about the one that lists about 50 diffrent genes.

    How do you get Itunes to go to the free radio station list, I'm not talking about the one that lists the price next to the song that's playing, I'm talking about the one that gives you 50 diffrent genes to select from?

    This forum is for questions from those managing sites on iTunes U, Apple's service for colleges and universities to post educational material in the iTunes Store. You'll be most likely to get help with this issue if you ask in the general iTunes forums.
    But answering quickly, if you mean the streaming stations, click the Internet item:
    If you don't see that item, checkmark "Internet Radio" in the General preferences in iTunes.

  • EXPERT NEEDED!! Songs that once played on iTunes & iPod no longer will.

    I've got a 20 Gig iPod (clickwheel black and white). I have a mixture of ripped CD's, songs I've downloaded from iTunes, and songs that are on my iPod for an account my iTunes is an authorized user for.
    Songs that have played just fine for a long time are now showing up with an "!" mark next to them in iTunes. And when I choose them on the iPod, it just skips to the next song. Oddly enough, I've even got some complete CDs that I've ripped, d/l'd, etc., and one or two songs will play, but the rest show up with the "!"
    The songs are still present on the iPod (they show up in iTunes, plus they're still consuming the space on my iPod). And my iPod will show the songs in the menu and the time of the track, but it just won't play them when I choose them. I've also tried to rip them off of my iPod with iDump -- no luck there either.
    I'm at a loss. I'm so desparate for a solution, I'd be happy to send the person that first tells me how to fix the problem a $20 bill (or a check -- probably a little safer in the mail). No kidding.

    It's an iPod problem, since the songs are actually stored on my iPod. When I go to play my iPod (not my iTunes library), the iPod nor iTunes (playing the songs on my iPod) will play these certain songs. I haven't removed the songs from my iPod -- they still show up on my iPod. They just won't play.

  • YouTube videos that previously played no longer supported

    My 2-year olds beloved youtube video is "no longer supported on iPad". He would watch this video to bits, but as of this morning I get the pop-up that this video is no longer supported for playing on iPad. (or my iphone, triedit there too). I understand from googling, that some videos won't play because they have not been supported for iPad/iPhone yet, but videos that previously played fine??? I tested my toddlers other fav videos, and it is only the video in question that is affected. What gives?

    That link doesn't work, however, looking up the movie "Banana (complete video!)" on youTube using on my iMac I get the message:
    This video contains content from NBC Universal, who has blocked it on copyright grounds.
    Sorry about that.
    When trying to see this video on the youTube App on the iPad I just get the dialog "Could not load movie". iPad Safari just transfers this URL to the youTube App with the same result.
    There are other youTube versions of this movie around (at least until NBC Universal learns about them and blocks them as well).
    I suppose the youTube App could be a little more informative as to why it can't display the movie.

  • After downloading iTones 10.5.1, the artwork matchs the song that is playing on my iMac but the artwork does not sync properly on my Apple TV. The artwork lags one cover behind. Is anyone else experiencing the same problem.

    I think it is just a bug, but it in very frustrating. I was using just now for about an hour and suddenly the correct artwork appeared for what was playing....but then all went wrong again!!
    Apple, please, please issue a patch for this. It surely cannot be too complicated to correct.
