f you download a lot of files on iTunes, particularly videos, eventually you’re bound to get a corrupt file that can’t finish downloading. As a fix, iTunes might prompt you to “Check for Available Downloads” under the Store menu, but chances are this will only re-download the corrupt file leaving you with something you paid for that doesn’t play.
The Solution? Here’s how you can fix the problem.
If you are running Windows XP, go to Documents and Settings\User\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Music\Downloads. In the Downloads folder, you will find the TMP folder for the corrupt file – delete it. The click on Check for Available Downloads: iTunes will download a fresh uncorrupted file.
If you are running Vista, the folder path would be Users\User\Music\iTunes\iTunes Music\Downloads.
If you are on a Mac, go to Users\User\Music\iTunes\iTunes Music\Downloads.
