Why can't I download a song in iTunes?

I bought an album of songs on iTunes, downloaded it, but one song didn't successfully download. Unfortunately, itunes thinks it did download, so I can't download it again.

Hello davhorns,
You may need to delete the existing item in your iTunes library, and then redownload it from the iTunes store.

  • Why can't I download latest version of iTunes in Windows 8?

    Why can't I download latest version of iTunes in Windows 8?

    Hey gallaleo3,
    First, if you already haven't, try downloading the latest version here:
    www.apple.com/itunes/download
    Then, if you have issues installing it from there, I would use the recommended steps in here:

  • Why can't you download TV shows on iTunes.NZ ?

    Why can't you download TV shows on iTunes.NZ ?

    Thanks for that.
    It seems odd that you can log onto TVNZ TV on demand and watch programmes directly on your computer and yet they won't let them be channelled through the Apple TV.
    The Apple TV would be more use if it could access TVNZ [ say ] and play the episodes from there instead of having to go through iTunes.
    I am a bit cross that Apple market the Apple TV with what it can do in US and yet it wasn't made clear that in New Zealand it is a virtually useless piece of kit.
    I have been buying Apple products since 1985 and this is the first time I have been dissatisfied.
    Having said that it may not be the fault of the product !! Just the country in which I am trying to use it.
    That is another oddity in that New Zealand prides itself in being a World Leader in EFTPOS and internet banking and yet is so abysmal at entertainment sharing !
    A very compliant nation where having fun is frowned upon !

  • Why can't I download a song I uploaded in iTunes Match

    Of all my songs in iTunes that I placed in iCloud, there is one that I can't download. The program (iTunes or Music on my iPhone) keeps saying it is not available. It was a song that I made digital from the original cd. According to the iTunes store, the album is in the store. So I don't understand why it can't match it. Does anyone know how I can get it back?

    If it is not matched, unfortunately there is something missing or not tagged correctly for Itunes Match to recognize it. I have a few songs that it does that for, mainly some Beatles songs which is surprising since they are popular.
    I have found that after a few updates of Itunes Match library, it is getting better on matching.
    The song should be still on your computer, unless you deleted it.

  • Why can't I download certain songs/apps onto my iPhone?

    I just got a new iPhone 4s, and I was super excited to put all my music on it so I could put more apps on my iPad. The trouble is, when I tried to download my songs onto my iPhone, a lot of them came up with an error saying "... could not be downloaded at this time." and then either Done or Retry - there was no explanation of why. So I pressed retry a couple of times, to no avail, and clicked done. Then it started happening on a whole host of other songs, and now I have a music library with a very pitiful selection of music on it.
    I tried ringing Apple Support, but the best they could do was tell me to sign out and back in again, which didn't work, then turn it off and on again - still didn't work. The guy also seemed to have the impression that I had just bought these songs - they're already on my account, I just want to download them!
    I have literally no idea what to do. Has anyone else had this problem, and managed to resolve it?!

  • Why can I only download one song every 90 days?

    Everytime I try to download a song from my purchased it says one song every 90 days!

    Hello, bridgeted. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    It sounds like your computer has been associated with another Apple ID in the past 90 days.  Here is some information regarding this process. 
    When you turn on iTunes Match or Automatic Downloads, or when you download past purchases on an iOS device or computer, that device or computer becomes associated with your Apple ID. Your Apple ID can have up to 10 devices and computers (combined) associated with it, with a maxium of 5 computers at any time. Each computer must also be authorized using the same Apple ID. Once a device or computer is associated with your Apple ID, you cannot associate that device or computer with another Apple ID for 90 days. You can view which devices or computers are currently associated with your Apple ID, remove unused devices or computers, and view how many days remain before the devices or computers can be associated with a different Apple ID from the Account Information page in iTunes on your computer:

  • Why can't I import my songs from iTunes onto my nano?

    I installed the software after I got my new nano and I transferred my already downloaded mp3s into the iTunes library. I'm trying to import them and it won't let me. What do I do now? Please help!

    Angie,
    Sorry for not being more specific last time--here's a little clearer explanation:
    - Connect your nano to your computer and wait for iTunes to start up
    - Your nano will show up as an icon in iTunes
    - Go to the Edit Menu & select 'Preferences'
    - Click on the iPod tab
    - Click the button for 'Automatically update selected playlists only'
    - Select only one playlist (for now) so that everything will fit on your nano
    - Allow iTunes to update your nano
    - When update is complete, click on the nano icon--you should see the appropriate playist (greyed out because it's updated automatically)
    - Click on the playlist and you should see the same songs as are in the playlist on your computer (again, greyed out)
    If all of the above works, you can now start creating smart playlists specifically for your nano. Here's one that I use that I named 'nano Jazz':
    - Match the following rule: Genre contains Jazz
    - Limit to 40 songs selected by random
    - Match only checked songs
    - Live updating
    The 'nano Jazz' playlist is one of my selected playlists to update automatically. Now, if I wanted to have the songs change, all I have to do is delete one in the playlist (not in the Library) and another pops in. I could get even fancier and add a rule that would select songs that haven't been played for a while, or that have a low or high playcount, etc., etc.
    Well, hope this didn't get too long. You can see how cool this whole setup is--not just an MP3 player, but an entire smart audio experience. (Wow, sounds like a commercial... .
    Have fun!
    Regards,
    David

  • Why can't I download music to my iTunes???

    For years I could download music to my iTunes without buy songs from iTunes Store. But every since I update to this new iTunes 5 months ago now everything has change. Now I can't download my music to iTunes only if I buy songs off on itunes which I HATE. There are LEGAL sites were you can download music for free like Bandcamp.com, DatPiff.com, Livemixtapes.com, and etc. So how come I can't download this songs from these site when it is 100% LEGAL. If anyone can help me this problem I would really appericate it a lot. Thank You.

    Inked,
    Download the file to your computer in the normal fashio, which does not require iTunes.  Make sure the file is in a valid music format, which usually means MP3.  (If you have any doubts, see if it plays in another music player on your PC, such as Windows Media Player or Winamp.)
    Once you know it is a valid music file, drag it into your "Automatically Add to iTunes" folder, which is found in your iTunes Media folder.

  • Why can't I get  my songs from iTunes on my laptop on my iPod touch?

    I have recently updated the ios on my Touch to v. 6.  I have over 1,000 songs on iTunes in my new laptop, but for the life of me, every time I sync, it only recognizes the 21 songs already on the touch.  How can I get the songs on iTunes on to the touch?  I've tried all the instructions, but the sync only takes a few seconds and nothing is ever added to my ipod.  This is so frustrating.

    Since we have no way of knowing what all the instructions are that you are referring to .... first quit iTunes, restart your Touch, restart your PC and start all over again.
    Then ...
    Connect the iPad to the PC and launch iTunes.
    Click on the iPad name on the left side under devices.
    Click on the Music Tab on the right.
    Click on all of the albums or playlists that you want to sync - or the entire library if you like.
    Click on the Sync Music Heading.
    Click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes.
    Also assuming that you are signed into the same Apple ID on the Touch that you are using in iTunes - the ID that you used to purchase the music - if it is purchased music that will not sync.

  • Why can't I download the songs from my ipod to my compute

    I'm getting insanely frustrated right now. I got an ipod about a month ago and was ecstatic. I could finally get the 12 gb of music off my computer (all songs I've taken the time to copy from my own legal cds) and onto my ipod. So I got the new itunes and I copied copied all the files to my library and then from there onto my ipod.
    I then made sure they all played on the ipod and once they did I made sure that itunes was set to manually manage songs and then removed them from my library clearing my hard drive of them.
    Then my ipod starts having issues, it will just randomly restart for no apparent reason, so I take it in to the apple store and they just want to restore it which will wipe all my music. So I say uhm no, can I please back it up first and they say they don't support that.
    What the heck is going on here, why does it make any sense to have to leave the music on teh computer?!? It's a portable music device!
    I found there are programs that will copy the files back but they cost money which makes no sense. Basically Apple has hijacked my songs and won't give them back.
    I'd email them directly about the issue but I can't find any sign of an email link anywhere on teh webpage.
    Any help would be much appreciated and please forgive the rant but I'm really getting sick of my ipod restating constantly.

    You can't sync or drag your non iTMS music back directly from an iPod to iTunes. The transfer of non iTMS content is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod to discourage it's use as a device for mass file sharing. However there is a manual (free) method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows posted in this thread: MacMuse - iPod to iTunes
    Not all the third party programs are commercial offerings and you can read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
    If you want to check out the YamiPod utility it is free but you are also free to make a donation to it's developer if you find it useful: YamiPod Mac and Windows Versions
    The transfer of purchased content to authorised computers has been introduced with iTunes 7, look under under File>"Transfer Purchases from iPod". A paragraph on it has been added to this article: How to use your iPod to move your music to a new computer

  • Why can't I download purchased songs on new computer?

    Okay so I'm having a slight issue. I just got a new MacBook Pro and I'm having issues. I am attempting to download my purchased songs. I am in iTunes and when I attempt to download it prompts me to enter my password. Upon doing this it starts to download then gives me an error message followed by prompting me once again to enter my password. I know this is not a wrong password for sure haha I've double and triple checked. I have tried restarting iTunes my computer an other restart based fixes. Just really unsure what is happening.

    Contact iTunes Support -> http://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html.
    As I'm not sure why that would be happening...

  • HT1491 why can't i download any songs to my iphone 4s?

    I have just had my iphone repalced and now i cannot download or sync my songs to it. i have updated to ios 1.6.1?
    even purchases from icloud will not download.

    When I go to iTunes, and open my purchased folder and open Recent purchases. It shows me what I have purchased, when I click on the cloud icon next to the song it prepares to install, but then says download error, tap to retry.
    It then. Comes up with a blue error message asking if I want to retry or not.
    My phone also will not sync with my iTunes account on my mac at home, could be to do with the phone hardware having changed?

  • Trying to download my purchases from my iPod but it is not working. I have a new OS on an old computer and I can't even download the songs from iTunes because it thinks the songs are already on this computer. What should I do?

    Tried to back up music before new OS was loaded but for some reason, it only kept artists through the letter J. I did not realize that until I restored my iTunes under new OS. Now I tried to download my iTunes purchases from the iPod and I can select the "Transfer Purchases from iPOD" but then nothing seems to happen. I tried to download form iTunes and it says the songs are already on my computer. This is either because I did originally download them to this computer on the old operating system or because the names are still in iTunes even though the file associated with them is not. I'm not sure. I don't know what to try next but it is nearly 600 songs so I need to figure it out.

    Does iTunes recognize the phone at all? Or just the computer?
