I'm having the same problem and the only thing that works for me at the moment is to press and hold the link to iTunes in the message and then hit "copy" when the menu pops up. I then open safari and paste the link into the address bar and it takes me to iTunes and allows me to download the song. It sounds like a long process but really only takes about 5 seconds.

How do I restore my sms messages on my iphone 3

Yes, you have chance.

As a matter of fact, every time you sync data between iPhone 3 and iTunes, all previous data will be automatically backed up by iTunes and stored as a .sqlitedb file, which will be updated along with the later sync continuously. But those backup files can't be viewed or taken out unless you use some software using special algorithms to extract.

Learn how to recover your iPhone data with step by step guides.
