Went to download one song on iphone, itunes ended up downloading entire album!

i opened itunes store on iphone, tapped on one song after searching for it, thought it would download only the song, and it ended up downloading ENTIRE ALBUM! not what i wanted. I know how do download a song, and i know how to download an album. I ONLY TAPPED ON THE SONG! it downloaded the entire album and charged me for the entire album. I know that i only tapped on the song because the i tapped on the "1.29" button!

I have two albums from the same Artist, I want to consolidate them, both downloaded via iTunes. I have Ellie Goulding's album and I downloaded one song from her EP but its on the album. I want the song to be part of the album so I can listen to the album.

So basically I want what it says in the title. I want to be able to listen to the full album as a continuous loop without it skipping the one song I downloaded from the EP. I can't delete then download the song from the album (I tried and it wont let me).

Generally setting a common Album title and Album Artist will fix things.

TS1424 I just wanted to download ONE song Joy to the World from Merry Axemas album; the whole album had to be purchased, then the only song I really wanted to buy didn't fully download; rip-off; please fix ASAP

I need a refund of $8 bucks the Merry Axemas album cost because I just wanted one song that wouldn't download OR
just the one song in it's ENTIRETY instead of just half of it.
The beauty here is I only wanted one song but iTunes would NOT allow download of just one song making the user - ME- attempt to download the whole album which of course was short the ONLY song I desired downloaded.
Would you please remedy this situation pronto?

Please be aware that you are not communicating with Apple when you post in these forums. The people who will reply to your posts are, like me, in almost all cases your fellow users.
If the track you wanted was only available when purchasing the entire album, as I see most on that album are, then that was how the content owner insisted it be done and there's nothing Apple can do about it. If you then chose to purchase the entire album, that was your choice. It's unlikely that Apple will now refund your money on that basis.
As to a defective track, delete the problem track(s) from the iTunes library, allowing iTunes to move the track file(s) to the Trash. Then download the track(s) again from the iTunes Store via this procedure:

That fixes the problem for many people. If problems with the tracks persist, go here:
iTunes Support
and follow the instructions to report the issue to the iTunes Store.

I cannot "download all" from the cloud ... it says that itunes has encountered an error and needs to shut down. I can download one song at a time. It is not being caused by any one song.

I have the latest version of iTunes. When I am in the iTunes store and I click on purchased it will show me a list of all my purchased songs. Some of the older songs are already in my iTunes account. There is a cloud symbol by any songs that have not been download to my account. It always fails if I try to do a "download all" (at the bottom of the page) but I seem to be able to download one song at a time. These are songs that were purchased on my iPhone but I wanted to put them in my iTunes account so that I could put them on my iPod. The problem does not appear to be associated to any one song.

I did think about that and if I have to I will do that, however there are about 50 songs. I have closed and reopened iTunes several times and I am sure that I have the latest version. It fails right away but I can click on the cloud download icon and download the song that it failed on ... therefore it is not that song "or any one song" causing the issue. Any ideas?

HT1414 I just got a new iPhone 4 and I tried to download some songs from my itunes account and it bricked my phone so now my new phone is locked and I can't use it. What can I do to resolve this?

I just got a new iPhone 4 and i tried to download some songs from my itunes account onto my phone and it bricked my phone! So I can't use my phone, it's locked. It shows a plug going into an adaptor frozen on my phone. How can I resolve this problem? I got my phone at Verizon yesterday so I went back to see if they could help me today and they didn't know anything about it at the Verizon store. Theyy said to try IMac store here in town...

Ask the Verizon store to exchange your iPhone for a different iPhone 4.
UPDATE - Sure, try ckuan's solution first. Then use mine if that fails.

I just purchased an album off iTunes but it won't let me download one song...

I just purchased an album off iTunes but it won't let me download one song off the album due to a -100000 error. It tells me to check for available downloads on the "store" bar, and when I click it, the file still won't download. What should I do?~ Any advice would be appreciated. =^w^=

Hello TheCoddfish,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
So it sounds like you have a preorder you would like to download, but it is not downloading, or you dont have the option to download it.
Without knowing what the preorder was, and if it is released, I found this article named iTunes Store: About Pre-orders found here http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5714.
This part in particular:
Downloading a pre-ordered item
When a pre-order item becomes available, you will receive an email letting you know your pre-order is available for download.
If you've enabled iTunes to automatically download prepurchased content, then your pre-order content may already be downloaded to your library. If not, simply click the download link provided within your email notification, and your pre-order content will begin to download. Alternatively you can use the "Check for Available Downloads" feature in iTunes on your computer by choosing Store > Check for Available Downloads to begin downloading your pre-order.
To view, cancel, or see the expected release dates for your pending pre-orders
Choose Store > View My Appie ID, then click Manage Pre-orders, which located in the Settings section at the bottom of the Account Information screen in iTunes on your computer.
From the Mange Pre-orders screen, click the Cancel button to the right of the pre-order item you would like to cancel. You'll be asked to confirm your pre-order cancellation.
If the album is released and you still cannot download it, I would report the issue directly to the iTunes Store support.

Downloading one song from itunes store to ipod

I downloaded one song from itunes store yesterday. I accomplished it accidentally. Does anyone know how to easily download one song directly to ipod.

Thanks for your response. I downloaded a "free" tv show from itunes and it definitely does NOT work on my ipod. Tried it out on two different computers. Also tried another purchased tv show from itunes I had bought. Says it's wrong format. Just tried streamclip software and the m4v is not even a compatible file for the software. Help!
All video content purchased through the iTunes Store
is compatible with the iPod. I would suspect that
it is your video podcasts that are a problem. They
probably need to be converted to an iPod compatible
format before they can be transferred to the iPod.
I would try using software such as MPEG Streamclip to
convert your incompatible video files.

I downloaded a song to my itunes and it will not play. How do I get it to work?

I downloaded a song off of itunes and it will not play but indicates that it is downloaded. Any thoughts on how to get it to work?

Hi randybratton,
If a specific song that was purchased on your iPhone won't transfer to iTunes on your computer, you may want to try redownloading it directly to your computer from the iTunes Store. You may find the following article helpful:

How do I change the bit rate for dls?? How times can I download one song??

I'm new to iTunes. I already downloaded 3 songs when I realized that the default bit rate is 128Kbps. I tried changing the bit rate to 192Kbps with a (Variable Bit Rate) checked.....unfortunately when I downloaded the next 2 songs the bit rate turned out to be the same.
Do I have to restart Windows or iTunes before downloading again?
And now that I have 5 songs with a lower br than I wanted... in order for me to have(download) the song at the higher bit rate...Is it possible to download one song more than once?
Thanx.

You have no choice as to bit rate when purchasing from the iTunes Music Store. The official bit rate of all tracks there is 128 kbps (a very few have been reported to be at higher rates, but that's not a choice you can make, it's how the track was encoded by the record company). The setting in the iTunes Importing preference is for tracks you import from CDs only and has no effect on iTMS purchases.
Is it possible to download one song more than once?
No. Except in extraordinary circumstances, the iTMS allows only one download per purchase.
Forum Tip: Since you're new here, you've probably not discovered the Search feature available on every Discussions page, but next time, it might save you time (and everyone else from having to answer the same question multiple times) if you search a couple of ways for a topic before you post a question.

I believe songs purchased in iTunes can be downloaded to a max of 5 devices. Does this count include the unregistered devices.

I believe songs purchased in iTunes can be downloaded to a max of 5 devices. Does this count include the unregistered devices. ie. If I have already registered and downloaded music on 5 devices and now If I unregister one of the older device, can I go ahead and download songs in a new device ?

You can have a maximum of 5 computers authorized to play DRM-restricted content purchased from the iTunes Store. You can have a maximum of 10 devices (computers and iOS) associated to your Apple ID.
However, since all music sold on the iTunes Store has been DRM-free since late 2009 there is no longer a number of devices restriction for music. It is possible to sync, via USB or Wi Fi, an unlimited number of iOS devices.

Cannot download shared songs to iPhone

My husband has over 2000 songs on our desktop for his ipod and I would like to copy some of them to my iphone. I turned on homesharing and mapped a drive on my laptop to the desktop itunes folder. I have been able to download the songs to my itunes but I cannot copy them to my phone. They do not transfer when I sync and I can't copy and paste them. What am I missing?

If your iPhone is not synched to the same iTunes account you will not be able to share songs. This has to do with copyright protection.

I downloaded 21 songs recently to iTunes and they won't sync with my ipod. 1st time this has happened. Any ideas to download these songs would be appreciated.

I had some time finally figuring why I could buy and download from the Itunes store, but could not load it on my IPOD. What finally worked was plugging my IPOD in to the computer, as I would when "syncing", and, after loading, it would show my device in the side bar. You have to go to VIEW in the top Tool Bar and click on SHOW SIDE BAR in the drop down menu. "SUMMARY' tab, on top, is what I clicked on to show an option of restoring my IPOD to the factory defaults. It erases everything on the IPOD, but gives an option of AUTOFILL afterwards, which it does from the computer. This is one solution of many you could try. Good luck.

Iphone 4S - Windows Vista - 64 Bit (and photoshop elements 9.0) is not recognizing my iphone as a camera - therefore I cannot download pictures from my iphone. iTunes works fine with the iPhone, but I do not see it in "My Computer" when connected via USB

Thank u verrrrrrrrrrry much FoxFifth u save my life thank u.

I attempted to download a song. It originally did not download correctly. I refreshed the download and it supposedly completed. Upon playing the song in both my library and on the Itunes store it will not play past the first 5 seconds. How can I fix this?

Hello Whitney262,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
I would go ahead and make sure you can first download the content, then remove the song from your iTunes Library, and download again from your iTunes past purchases. The article below will walk you through the entire process:
