iTunes not letting me download songs on my iPod

When I try to download a song on my iPod through my dads ID account, but each time it says something like, 'this song cannot be downloaded at this tome.' Does anyone know why this happens? Thanks

I think you need to be more specific. Do you mean you are trying to download a track that your dad has downloaded to his itunes account and you have your own different account? Or is your ipod using the same itunes account as your dads for backup and sync?

iTunes is a strange beast. I have experienced many problems with it, but found that google proved to be a great help.

If you are sharing an account with your dad then you click on whatever you have named your ipod. Then if you look along the tabs I think it says something like 'on this device' click on that and you will see a long list of albums and songs. You just need to click on the one you want and then sync and backup. That should work, but knowing iTunes it may be more difficult than that.

no it's not enough.
which appleid have you used to set up your ipod (app store and music store)?
is this a song that your dad has already purchased? or are you trying to buy it using his ID?
and what is the EXACT message you get? saying "something like" is next to useless.

Ok, so I used my dad's apple id to set up my iPod.
My dad hasn't already purchased this, and yes I am doing it through his ID.
The message is "Unable to download song. 'Rather Be' could not be downloaded at this time."

You're not really providing much useful information, have you tried downloading it via the desktop?

Have you tried this advice from your other thread.
