Recently, I have bought some songs from ITunes from my Macbook Pro. However, when I try to download these songs to my IPhone 5s (ios 8.3) it always says 'this item could not be purchased at this time'. Any Solutions? Please help. I've tried most solutions I have found on the forums but I have not had any success in solving the problem.😟
Hi Pierson32,
The resource below explains how to download your purchases onto your iPhone 5s. I've highlighted some information for you here. Click on the link for complete details.

Before you can access a past purchase, you need to do the following:
- Sign in with the Apple ID that you used for the original purchase. Use these steps to see which Apple ID you used to download an item.
- Check to see if the purchases you're looking for are hidden. If your purchases are hidden, you might not see them even after you follow the steps below. Learn how to unhide purchases.
- See if the content is available for redownload. Previously purchased items might not be available if they're no longer on the iTunes Store. Also, make sure that you’re in a country where you can redownload items. If you changed your Apple ID from one country to another, you can’t download items you purchased in a previous country.
If you're a member of Apple Music, items that you've saved for offline use won't appear in your purchased section. Learn more about Apple Music.
