Why can't I download app update or music from iTunes? The download gets stuck.

I have had problems in the last couple of weeks updating apps.  They start to update and never Finish.  Today I noticed it is happening with iTunes music.  Is anyone else having trouble with this?  I have an ipad1 with the latest os.

Hard to say with no information.
Which ipod touch?
What ios?
What did you try?
What happened?

    Why can't I play a shakespear sisters music from hormonally yours. I have authourized my computer and but it keeps asking to authorize, it also says my passowrd is wrong.

    Was that new device used with a different AppleID recently?

  • Why can't I import a movie I bought from itunes into my presentation

    Why can't I import a movie I bought from itunes into my presentation?

    msjones,
    Most, if not all material sold on itunes is copyrighted and there are anti-piracy provisions embedded in the code. You may not have the rights to copy the movie to another medium such as Keynote. Your purchase of the movie and what you can do with it are limited.

  • Just downloaded ios 7.0.4 for my iphone4 and backed up before doing so. Now that it's been updated and restored I keep being asked to setup my iphone. When I select restore from itunes I keep getting stuck on setup iPhone. Cant get back in phone!

    I backed up the phone and updated to ios 7.0.4 which took about 2 hours.  Now the phone powers on and says hello in different lagnuages and says to slide to setup.  I am asked to choose a network and then if I want to setup as a new iphone, restore from icloud or restore from itunes backup.  When I select restore from itunes the screen says "connected to itunes".  In itunes I select restore from backup however after a few seconds itunes says that it cannot restore beause there is not enough free space on the iphone.  During this attempt to restore I see the home screen and my screen saver and everything for a split second, then the phone powers off.
    I see in itunes that all of my photos and data are still on the phone however I cannot get into the iphone.

    Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPhone?
    Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after It shuts down, press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
    Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds).
    No data will be lost.

  • Can I download updates or music from iTunes whilst MacBook is sleeping?

    Is there a way around this. I wish to download a lot of my music from iCloud , like 40gb worth but I don't want to keep the MacBook "awake" does it download when it's sleeping?
    The same with system and app updates, it seems to stop when it goes to sleep, is there a way around this?
    Because the download is so big I will have to leave it open and turn the energy setting off so it doesn't go to the auto sleep
    Help please!

    No. The Mac must not be in sleep mode when downloading from iCloud. Same goes for app updates.
    However, you can put the display to sleep when downloading content. Just not the hard drive.

  • Why can't I play an old movie purchased from iTunes and later uploaded to iTunes from an external hard drive on my Apple TV?

    I bought Ratatouille some years ago from iTunes downloaded onto a 1st gen Apple TV, and subsequently to an old MacBook.  I had backed that MacBook up to an external HD.  A couple computers from that time and now I have a new gen ATV.  I noticed that all my old movies showed up to stream on the new ATV's system except Ratatouille.  So today I decided to upload the movie onto my new MBP's iTunes.  But the movie won't show up on ATV.  Again, this is an iTunes-purchased movie so it has nothing to do with format.  I can play the movie through "home sharing" but I shouldn't have to leave my MBP open to play the movie - it should be available on my "purchased" selection that can be played at any time.  Any suggestions how to resolve this issue?  Thanks in advance for your help.

    Ok, best to contact itunes then so they can look into it

  • Why can't I send my workouts to nikeplus from Itunes?

    I have a 2nd Gen iPod touch and I am unable to send my workouts to Nikeplus from the iPod as it says 'Unknown Error' when I try and type in my username on the website. Also when I try and upload my workouts from Itunes it says 'Itunes could not connect to Nike+'
    Any ideas on what may be the cause of this?
    Thanks

    I did already update it, alas with no results at first, but after your answer I decided to use the 'restore' instead the 'update' button. After this I deauthorized and authorized the computer and it helped. Everything is working properly! Thanks.

  • Help! I finally decided to update my ipad from itunes/laptop & now its stuck in recovery mode!

    Hi guys. I just saw this same question from someone else but after i logged into support I cant find the post anywhere. I hate asking again, sorry for asking again, but I need HELP and cant keep searching the posts.
    Ive never updated ipad 2 before and not really good with computers. When trying to download certain apps, it would stop installing & tell me i needed to update to the latest update. Finally updated the ipad & i think syncd it but when it was done the only thing that showed up on screen is the RESTORE picture. I just realized that if i restore i will loose all my Memos & Notes. I DONT WANT TO LOOSE THEM ! I have info on ipad memo that I really need & that i didnt write down anywhere else. Is there a way to save my notes/memos/data before I restore the ipad? Ive gone 5 days without it and really need to use it. Am i just out of luck :{ ?
    There was an answer by someone about restoring an ipad giving directions and after the restore it will ask u questions that u have to answer YES to. She had school notes and the other guy had 600 pics. The girl stated she did all the steps but she didnt see anyplace to say Yes and she lost everything. Im afraid to risk it and will take it to a store or something if theres away they can do it.
    I babbled and im sorry if this made no sense so heres the clear question : Is there a way to save your memos, messages, notes, contacts, etc from an ipad that is stuck in restore mode BEFORE U restore? any help will be so appreciated !!!

  • I can't drag files to my iPhone 5 from iTunes. I get an alert that says files can't be copied because I have iTunes Match enabled but I do not have iTunes Match that I know of

    Correct.  When you purchase devices, they would have stated the OS they needed to work, on the box.  This can be overlooked, but it is very important to check when purchasing. 
    You current OS, is so old, that they technology build into the new devices, is not something your OS understands.  It didn't exist when your OS was created, and therefore you need to upgrade the OS to work with the newer technology of these devices.
    10.6 software is not downloadable.  You must purchase a DVD disc.  You can order it from the on-line apple store

  • I'm having problems with my keyboard since the 8.3 update. It's like the keys get stuck, I keep touching the keys, then it adds a period. I tried the soft reset, I turn my phone off every night. Help?

    MY keyboard has been giving me trouble since I updated the iOS 8.3. It stutter stops while I'm texting, if I keep trying to type it may eventually catch up, but also drops a period if I keep hitting the space bar because the cursor isn't moving. Yet another problem with an update. This has been the worst year to own an apple product!

    You mentioned that you tried connecting to other types of routers - was that successful?
    Have you tried resetting your Network settings within your phone?
    I Tried everything you mentioned before, and still havin" the problem, Im gonna try these un-official solutions  --> https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4909703?start=240&tstart=0
    Do you think that by upgrading to iOS 7 can solve this problem?

  • Why can't I buy songs off my Itouch from itunes?

    when i log into itunes from my itouch i can't but any songs. it works and i can view songs, but the button with the price where you click to but doesn't show up. I even have part of a gift card left on my itunes. This started when i recently downloaded a bunch of cds to my itouch.

    If you haven't already tried, you have to plug your iPod into the computer and open iTunes. Then it can get confusing, but when you're in iTunes you have click on your device and then sync your music. This will take all the music already in your iTunes library and put it on your iPod. It will also take all the purchased music on your iPod and move it to iTunes.
    However, if you have downloaded songs from cds or anyother program, they will not sync into iTunes and will be deleted from your iPod. But this will only happen if they are not already in iTunes. You also need to be careful of one other thing when you are syncing your iPod. The iTunes library already comes with a default of songs that apple provides you with, and these may also sync onto your iPod if you're not careful. I know because I had to do the same thing with my iPod and all this happened to me.
