The screenshot below shows you the equivalent in iTunes of the download status covered above, seen from your iTunes library: Song number 6 is paused, and cannot be played: the two songs at the bottom (numbers 9 and 10) are currently being downloaded from the iTunes Store, and cannot be previewed or played back until the download is finished.

Previewing iTunes Store content before it is fully downloaded (movies and TV shows - no music, audiobooks, or podcasts)ДЄudio content (music and audiobooks), as well as any podcast (audio or video podcast) cannot be preview while the download is in progress, and you will have to wait until the one you want to listen to has completely finished downloading. Finally, downloads marked as ' waiting' are pending, and waiting for their turn to start. iTunes download status explainedДЄt any point, iTunes gives you a visual summary of the current downloads: The Done files are completed downloads ' processing file' means that the download is complete, and that iTunes is currently adding it to your library ' stopped' means that the download is question is paused a download in progress will indicate ' x minutes/seconds remaining', which is a generally good estimate (affected by your other online activity, and that of anyone else sharing an internet connection with you). Notice from the screenshot above that when a download is complete, iTunes marks it as ' Done' - completed downloads are only visible once you are inside the Downloads screen if you leave it to another section and come back, you will only see relevant information, namely pending and in-progress downloads. Once you resume your download, you can pause it again before it completes (you will see the Pause button re-appear in place of the Resume symbol as soon as the download resumes). To resume a paused download, simply click on its Resume button: notice that the Pause button now displays a Resume symbol (circular arrow) on the button instead.

ITunes allows you to download up to 3 separate files at the same time depending on the speed of your internet connection and number of people using it, downloading 3 files at once (especially large downloads like movies or TV shows), may mean that you have to wait a very long time before you can start watching your content. Enable or disable multiple downloads at once But this same button allows you to manually stop an iPod from being synced, or audio adjustment from being performed, etc. Notice the 'x' button on the right: this allows you to cancel the current action: in the case of checking for downloads, this will stop iTunes from checking your account for new downloads. When iTunes is in the process of checking the Store for new downloads (whether this happened automatically or was initiated manually by going to Store > Check for Available Downloads), a progress bar is displayed at the top of iTunes' main window, with an ' Accessing iTunes Store.' message.
