How do I keep itunes from putting things into the cloud after I've downloaded them?

Hello - Not everyone lives in Silicon Valley or New York City.  I have a relatively slow internet connection so it takes about 2 hours to download a 45-minute tv episode.  Yesterday I did that, and today I went to watch it and it had been put back in the cloud!  "No problem," says Apple, "You can download it again."  It takes f**** 2 hours to download it again.  How can I keep Itunes from putting things I've already downloaded back into the cloud?

You don't. They are in the cloud as soon as you make a purchase. As in immediately/right now. They don't get uploaded from yoru computer to the cloud.
Did you delete it after you watched it?

  • How do i merge ical from mobile me into the cloud

    I can't merge my calendars from Mobile Me into the Cloud - they are still running under my me.com Apple ID and my ID in the cloud is mac.com. Ideas?

    MobileMe was terminated more than a month ago.  It's too late to migrate from it to iCloud.
    If you have migrated, then your @me.com and @mac.com still work and refer to the same account.  Are you saying that calendars on MobileMe are still showing up on your mac?  They shouldn't.  There's only iCloud now.

  • How do I keep Microsoft from adding things to my computer. I have updates off, and recently they have put two new things on that I know of-bacause they caused a problem with my computer.

    How do I keep Microsoft from adding things to my computer. I have automatic updates off (because one of their updates caused my computer to crash), but recently they placed an add-on for Firefox that required much time to remove, and they also added something else that caused Outlook to not work. I don't know what else they might have added that I know nothing about.
    == This happened ==
    Not sure how often
    == The crash was a few years ago, the other two events were within the last couple of months.

    In terms of the Firefox add-ons, see http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/.NET+Framework+Assistant
    For MS installing things that are not part of Firefox, I think you're better off asking in a Windows forum.

  • How do I keep iTunes from automatically transferring purchases from my iPhone?

    Well, earlier in the year I had a Hard Drive failure. After having it fixed not all my files where on my Mac, including my iTunes media. So I connect my iPhone and it asks me if I want to transfer purchases? I click yes, the transfer wnet fine but some old media transferd too. I didn't want it so I simply deleted it. But when I plug my iPhone in now, it automatically says transfering purchases from Alex's iPhone. I then clicked on the "X" to cancel the task. But how do I keep iTunes from automatically transferring the old material?

  • How do I keep iTunes from moving files when I add them to my library?

    I use a site where artists give away their songs via torrent, so I like to seed as much as possible. But recently when I've added files, they're removed from their original folder and moved to a more generic "music" folder. How can I keep iTunes from doing this, so that my uploads aren't interrupted?

    In iTunes, go to Edit > Preferenes > Advanced, and make sure that "Keep..." and "Copy..." are both unchecked.

  • How do I stop iTunes from starting up in the other active Windows sessions?

    I have multiple (3) user accounts on a windows (Vista) computer. When I start iTunes from one account iTunes wants to also start up on each of the active windows accounts and continues to attempt to start iTunes after some time period (90 seconds?).
    I get a error screen on the attempts for the User that should not be starting iTunes that reads:
    You cannot open the application "iTunes" because another user has it open.
    Ask the other user to quit the application, then try again.
    I want iTunes to run within only one account. How do I stop iTunes from starting up in the other active accounts?

    Connect iPhone - iTunes will launch
    select iPhone in iTunes' left column

  • How do I stop iTunes from breaking out all the songs in one album into multiple albums?

    How do I stop iTunes from breaking out all the songs in one album into multiple albums when the artist has many collaborators on the different songs, for example Timbaland?  I want to just listen to the full album with all the songs, instead of having to play every song separately.

  • I have PURCHASED iTunes music on my iCloud account. The music appears on my iPhone. How do I get selected music from my iTunes on my iMac into the Cloud?

    I have PURCHASED iTunes music on my iCloud account. The music appears on my iPhone. How do I get selected music from my iTunes on my iMac into the Cloud?

    Sorry - not sure what you are asking. The Purchased music on your device is either on your device (i.e., downloaded to it), or it is not downloaded, in which case it is in iTunes in the Cloud. On your Mac, the same is true. Each device or machine may have different Purchases downloaded from iTunes in the Cloud.
    What is it that you are wanting to do?

    It's important to keep in mind that the picture files are NOT stored in the Organizer. They are not stored in Lightroom or Bridge either...
    The organizer is based on a catalog which stores the pictures properties, mainly the location of the pictures on your drive(s). It's the same idea of catalogs in Lightroom, and the nice thing is that Lightroom can convert organizer catalogs to its own format. The most obvious way for you will be to use Lightroom.
    Bridge is a file browser which is a different way than to use catalogs.

  • Can someone tell me how to put some tunes and videos into the cloud to free up download space?

    Can someone help me figure out how to store songs and videos temporarily in the cloud so I can free up more download space? Thanks.

    You don't actually store anything in iCloud with regard to media files. iCloud backs up your purchases. You can delete the songs and videos from your iPad and then download them again via the purchased tab in iTunes.
    This only applies if you purchased the content from iTunes and if you use the same Apple ID to download them again that you used to buy them with originally. Not all movies are available for free downloads either. Not all iTunes purchase are available for downloading again in all countries.

  • How do I insert pages from one PDF into the current PDF in Acrobat X?

    I just upgraded from Acrobat 8 to Acrobat X.
    How do I insert pages from one PDF into the current PDF in Acrobat X pro?  I was able to do this from the Edit menu in Acrobat 8 pro.  Appreciate instructions.  Thanks.

    Hi chemadberk,
    In my Acrobat 8 Pro, Insert Pages is under the Document menu but anyway...
    In Acrobat X, click on the Tools pane(upper right side) then navigate to Pages- the Insert Pages commands are located there.
    Hope this helps,

  • How can I keep iTunes from importing doubles?

    I am wondering if there is a way to keep iTunes from downloading (pulling from the cloud) doubles of music.  I would like to update my computer and iPad so that the two music libraries match, however iTunes doesn't seem to recognize that some of the songs are already on one or both devices.  So the problem ends up being, that I have doubles of some songs, even though I have chosen the option (Not on this iPad or Not on this Computer).  Any thoughts....

    Take a look at this suggestion in OSXDaily.

  • How can I keep iTunes from opening when I insert a CD?

    I have gone through the preferences again and again, and I can't find a way to keep iTunes from opening whenever I insert a CD. iTunes is not my preferred player/encoder, and I don't want it to open unless I tell it to.
    Case in point, I'm converting many CDs to mp3, using an application that gives me the filename format I want (iTunes isn't that flexible enough to do that). It is annoying for iTunes to keep butting in, every time I insert a CD!
    Thanks for any advice.
    L.

    When you first insert a CD your Mac comes up with a box saying
    "You have inserted a CD" (duuh, Apple...)
    Then you choose from a pop-up menu that offers "Open in Finder", "Open in iTunes", etc
    At some point you (or someone) has chosen "Open in iTunes" then checked the little box that says "Make this the default from now on".
    If you go into System Prefs (as already mentioned) you have a choice to reset what you want to do with a blank CD.
