Connection went down when buying from iTMS? No sweat.

Let’s say it’s New Music Tuesday and you’re treating yourself to something from the iTunes Music Store. You poke around a while, finally decide, and click Buy Song. You then notice this e-mail sitting in your inbox:

Subject: Reboot needed

Due to a software update, the Internet firewall/router will be
rebooted soon. Internet connectivity will be down briefly.

Dude! My iTunes! What’s gonna happen to my download?!

Chill, yo. Apple’s got your back. If you lose connectivity in the middle of an iTunes Music Store download, iTunes displays a nice little error message, prompting you to use the Check for Purchases option under the Advanced menu.

Hit that bad boy and watch your download pick up where it left off. Once it’s done, commence with the rockulation.
