Why does the song i paid 4 can't get downloaded??

hello,
I just bought a song in iTunes, & 4 some reason, a window just pops-up and says, "THERE WAS AN ERROR DOWNLOADING YOUR PURCHASED MUSIC. AN ERROR OCCURED(-50). USE THE CHECK MUSIC PURCHASES IN ADVANCE TO TRY AGAIN LATER". I did exactly what it says but it never worked. I thought it was just for that 1 song I puchased but it wasn't because I downloaded another, and it still didn't work. I think maybe because for the first song I purchased, it said, "EXPLICT", in red. I'm not sure what it means but all I know is I REALLY need help. Any suggestions?

***** FYI: I found a fix for this mess. If you are getting this error, change the location of the itunes download folder to c:\itunes or something else that is "NOT a unc path "\\server1\users]%username%\mydocuments\itunes"
Try mapping it to a drive letter for it to get where it needs to be. The My Documents folder may be a UNC path if group policy has redirected the folder or if it was manually moved to a network share.
I figured all this out by running an Etherial packet scan on the computer that Itunes was installed on to see what kind of error was being thrown out by TCPIP on the network. I googled that error and it was hinting that the problem existed in the way applications use UNC paths instead of a local path or drive mapping to unc. Thus I changed the path in ITunes and the video downloaded without incident.
Good Luck, hope this helps.

  • Why does the song I imported from iTunes to edit, sound weak after burning to a CD?

    I needed to shorten a song that's on a commercially available CD because it has a rather long instrumental in it.  We're using this in my church as part of the service. 
    What I did:  I ripped the CD into iTunes, then I opened a new project in Garage Band as "Loops", drug the song into the track, chopped out the lengthy part, sent it to iTunes, made a "Play List" in iTunes and burned a CD.  The result was a recording that sounds weak and lack luster.  The original CD sounds so awesome that you just have to get out of your seat and participate (it's a Call & Response song), whereas the shorter version that I created sounds dull and the congregation is left feeling kinda' ho-hum.  :-( 
    What did I do wrong?  What should I do differently?  I don't mind doing everything all over again, I just don't want to burn through 10 CDs before discovering by trial and error.  Thanx in advanced for everybody's input...

  • When I add a song to my iphone, why does the song JUST go to the song section and not the artist?

    It never did this before but I added a song onto my iPhone and it's been on there for awhile, but I guess recently when I plugged in my iphone to my laptop and synced, the song was removed. When I readded the song, it went to the "Songs" portion and not the Artist as well. I mean the song is on my iPhone and that's good, but it's a hassle when I want to listen to it and I have to scroll through my library just to find it. Help?

    You have to have Automatic Download enabled.
    On the iPhone go to Settings > iTunes & App Stores > Enable Automatic Downloads for Music, Apps, and iBooks, also you can make the choice if it should download over cellular data.
    iTunes: Edit> Prefrences > Store > Enable Automatic Downloads.
    This is Apple's article on it.

  • Why does the song i downloaded keep asking me to authorize it for my computer, and when i do it plays a differant song

    I downloaded Fast AS You from I-Tunes. When I click on it to play it a pop up box says I have to authorize the song for my computer and asks for my password. When I enter my pass word it plays 6th Avenue Heartache. Over and over, even after a reboot it does the same thing. Any ideas?
    Thanks, Don

  • Why does the song currently playing not correspond with the title

    Since the latest update of iTunes when I play a CD or import it into iTunes, the song currently playing and the title shown for that song are not correct. All the songs and titles are there but they are jumbled. Any ideas? Thanks, i need all the help i can get.

    There is dirt our moisture in the dock connector on the phone or the end of the cable. Or possibly a bad cable.
    You can clean the connector with a dry toothbrush or wooden toothpick; inspect it with a magnifying glass to make sure it is clean.

  • Why does the song I want to buy just say "play" instead of buy?

    I want to buy a song, but iTunes just says play. WHY???

    That means that the iTunes Store thinks you have already purchased the song.

  • Why does the songs in iPhone 6 hang for a second?

    All the songs in my iphone 6 pause for a sec while its playing, Didnt have this issue till a week back.
    When the song pauses and starts, there is a difference in its clarity. Any idea whether it is a Bug?

  • HT1725 I purchased a album of various artist, however some of the songs did not download, an error message saying something about not having proper information to download??? any thoughts on how I get the songs I paid for but did not download?

    After purchasing a album of TV Theme songs, during the download some of the themes would not load, an error message came up saying to the effect I did not have the correct info to download.  Does anyone know about this issue & any thoughts on how I aquire the themes I paid for?  The themes that did not load still show up in the music list but are greyed out & have an "!" exclamation mark beside the number of the item in the list.

    Assuming you are in a region where you are allowed to redownload your past music purchases, delete the broken tracks from your iTunes library, close and then reopen iTunes, go to the iTunes Store home page, click the Purchased link from the Quick Links section in the right-hand column, then select Music and Not on this computer. You should find download links for your tracks there.
    While downloading select Downloads in the left-hand column and make sure Allow Simultaneous Downloads is unticked.
    If the problem persists, or that facility is not yet available in your region, contact the iTunes Store support staff through the report a problem links in your account history, or via Contact Support.

  • Why does the PCI-1408 we used can reach only 8 fps?

    We are using IMAQ PCI-1408 to stud y the motion of an object in mechanics experiments. The maximum acquisition rate that we could obtain is just 8 fps. We are using a computer with Pent III 800Mhz processor and 128 Mb RAM. We even tried to use a code in from Costumer Solution (Digital Video Recorder with Motion JPEG, Lehnich H. et. al.), still we could not reach 30 fps. What could we have done wrong?

    Thanatus,
    I assume your camera is capable of 30 fps.
    First use MAX to verify that you can acquire 30 fps. Select your camera and use the Grab button. You should get full speed video display. The lower right hand corner should show how many frames per second it is acquiring and displaying. If it is only 8 fps, you have a problem with your hardware. If it is 30 fps, your problem is in the software.
    The most common software problem is using snap, which is very slow. You should either use grab or a sequence to acquire your images. Most likely, you will want to acquire a sequence of images and analyze them after you acquire them. If you are using grab, your frame rate will depend on your loop speed. If you are doing analysis simultaneously, that is proba
    bly slowing you down.

  • Why does the top and bottom of my clips get cut off?

    Hi, I'm new to iMovie and I've encountered an annoying problem. I imported all my movie files from my flash drive without any issues. I dragged a clip from the section with all the clips to the play reel. I previewed the clip, both normal screen and full screen, and both times the top and bottom of the clip was cut off. I tried it again with different clips but the same thing kept happening? Can anyone tell me why this happens because my head keeps getting cut off and I don't like it one bit.

    First, you can go into File/Project Preferences and adjust the aspect ratio of your project to either widescreen (16:9) or standard (4:3), to match your footage.
    You can combine footage that is widescreen and standard in the same project. In this case, you have to tell imovie how to handle the clips that do not fit the overall project aspect ratio. To do this, you can select a clip in your project and use the Rotate, Crop, Ken Burns Tool. If you select FIT, it will preserve the whole frame by inserting black bars (letterboxing). If you select CROP it will cut off the top and bottom. You can select the default for this in Project Properties.

  • Why does the left side of mbp 4.1 get abnormally hot? What's is the problem?

    Hello Everyone:
    The bottom of my 2008, 15" 4.1 mbp has always gotten very hot.  lately however, it gets extremely hot. The other night, I fell asleep with it open, on my lap and it literally burned me and left a nice blister on my lap.  I think the fans are working because in a recent update, I've forgotten which one, the fans did go on and I heard them.  Is this kind of heat normal? What, if anything, should I be doing to ensure it's not going to burn itself out?  Obviously I'm not going to put it on my lap again but it's never done that in the past.  Any thoughts anyone?
    Thanks in advance for your help.  I can't do much internal work since I've recently suffered a small stroke-like issue that's paralyzed my arms and taken fine motot movement out of my hands.  If it's easy work htough, I may be able to get one of my kids to give me a hand.
    Help please?!??

    Ok Austin.  I've downloaded iStat.  I can barely see the writing but the app is totally interesting.  If there's a way to enlarge it without having to use the 'control' function to zoom in on it, that would be great.  Aside from that, it looks like it may well tell me what's happening to my system's temps.  As for the overheating, what you said is very interesting.  I may very well be blocking one of the fans.  We shall see!  Thanks and hopefully blocking one of the fans! 
    Talk to you tomorrow.  Hopefully I'll have had a chance to review the stats by then.  Take care!

  • When using office for mac or i studio after inserting several pictures, my computer locks up and the only way I can fix it is to do a force quit.  Why does it do this and how I I get it fixed without a force quit?

    I have a mac book, with office for mac and iStudio installed.  When I try to create a document using either one of these; after inserting several photos, the computer locks up and the only way I can get it to unlock is to do a force quit.  Why does it do this, and how can I get it to unlock without having to do a force quit?

    Are you using versions of the software that are compatible with the version of OS X you have installed? Very often such lockups are caused by application incompatibility.
    The problem may also come from trying to use both sets of applications at the same time while not having enough RAM installed. Adding more RAM may fix the problem.
    The problem can arise from corrupted support files such as preference files or Application Support files or corrupted cache files.
    The image files you are using may also be corrupt thus causing the problem.
    You might start with:
    Kappy's Personal Suggestions for OS X Maintenance
    For disk repairs use Disk Utility.  For situations DU cannot handle the best third-party utilities are: Disk Warrior;  DW only fixes problems with the disk directory, but most disk problems are caused by directory corruption; Disk Warrior 4.x is now Intel Mac compatible. TechTool Pro provides additional repair options including file repair and recovery, system diagnostics, and disk defragmentation.  TechTool Pro 4.5.1 or higher are Intel Mac compatible;  Drive Genius is similar to TechTool Pro in terms of the various repair services provided.  Versions 1.5.1 or later are Intel Mac compatible.
    OS X performs certain maintenance functions that are scheduled to occur on a daily, weekly, or monthly period. The maintenance scripts run in the early AM only if the computer is turned on 24/7 (no sleep.) If this isn't the case, then an excellent solution is to download and install a shareware utility such as Macaroni, JAW PseudoAnacron, or Anacron that will automate the maintenance activity regardless of whether the computer is turned off or asleep.  Dependence upon third-party utilities to run the periodic maintenance scripts had been significantly reduced in Tiger and Leopard.  These utilities have limited or no functionality with Snow Leopard or Lion and should not be installed.
    OS X automatically defragments files less than 20 MBs in size, so unless you have a disk full of very large files there's little need for defragmenting the hard drive. As for virus protection there are few if any such animals affecting OS X. You can protect the computer easily using the freeware Open Source virus protection software ClamXAV. Personally I would avoid most commercial anti-virus software because of their potential for causing problems.
    I would also recommend downloading the shareware utility TinkerTool System that you can use for periodic maintenance such as removing old log files and archives, clearing caches, etc.  Other utilities are also available such as Onyx, Lion Cache Cleaner, CockTail, for example.
    For emergency repairs install the freeware utility Applejack.  If you cannot start up in OS X, you may be able to start in single-user mode from which you can run Applejack to do a whole set of repair and maintenance routines from the commandline.  Note that AppleJack 1.5 is required for Leopard. AppleJack 1.6 is compatible with Snow Leopard. There is no confirmation that this version also works with Lion.
    When you install any new system software or updates be sure to repair the hard drive and permissions beforehand. I also recommend booting into safe mode before doing system software updates.
    Get an external Firewire drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
    Backuplist
    Carbon Copy Cloner
    Data Backup
    Deja Vu
    iBackup
    JaBack
    Silver Keeper
    MimMac
    Retrospect
    Super Flexible File Synchronizer
    SuperDuper!
    Synchronize Pro! X
    SyncTwoFolders
    Synk Pro
    Synk Standard
    Tri-Backup
    Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQs on maintenance, optimization, virus protection, and backup and restore.
    Additional suggestions will be found in Mac Maintenance Quick Assist.

  • Why does iTunes/iPhone 4S insist it can't find a song on my PC or my phone when it is on both? This is resulting in me being unable to use the ringtones I created from these songs, but I can still play the songs.

    OK, so I'm clearly a newb. I thought if I asked a question, it would post, and now I'm being told to post a comment, so I'm asking the same question again. Sorry I sound like an idiot. I'm new to this apple/mac stuff.
    Why does iTunes/iPhone 4S insist it can't find a song on my PC or my phone when it is on both? This is resulting in me being unable to use the ringtones I created from these songs, but I can still play the songs.

    If you have added the ringtone file correctly to iTunes, it will appear under iTunes 'Tones' library.
    If you don't find Tones library in iTunes, go to iTunes menu EDIT/PRFERENCES under GENERAL tab, check the Tones Box under Library source to display Tones library in iTunes.
    iTunes accepts only m4r file as ringtone and has to be less than 40secs.
