"All purchases have been downloaded for this Apple ID." What does this mean?

I must be misunderstanding what this means. I assume that when I choose the menu item Check for available downloads... it will find things in the store that I have purchased, but not downloaded. For example I subscribe to Justified and Better Call Saul. I choose this menu item on the morning after these shows air, and I get the dialog box telling me 'All purchases have been downloaded for this Apple ID." I have find show in the store and then download them manually.
2011 iMac
Yosemite
ITunes 12.1.0.50

I pressed my Apple support person to verify if this was a known issue, here is her response:
This is Irish again from the iTunes Store Support.
I have confirmed that this is a known issue. Please trust that Apple is currently working towards a resolution. I know that this has been said a lot, but I apologize for any inconvenience this has caused you.
As an alternative, we recommend our customers to try downloading the latest episodes through our iTunes in the Cloud feature.
For those of you who do not know how to download the episode manually:
1.     Go to iTunes and log in
2.     Go to the iTunes store, home page
3.     On the right, click on "Purchased"
4.     At the top, choose "TV Shows"
5.     On the right, choose the TV show you want to download (eg: Walking Dead)
6.     Choose the Season (3 for Walking Dead)
7.     A window of episodes will open, scroll down to episode 30 and you'll notice it says it's not downloaded yet. 8.     Click on the Cloud icon and start downloading.
Not as easy as clicking once on "Check for available downloads!"

All purchases have been downloaded for the apple id

I'm getting the subject notification when I select Store, Check for Available Downloads. The problem is, there are shows that have not downloaded to my computer. Suggestions?

I had this same problem and Apple couldn't explain why. I would click on available downloads and it would say all content had been downloaded. They were listed in the library but they weren't downloaded. What I had to do was click on the cloud icon next to the show and then the shows would download to my computer. I don't have an iCloud account but for some reason(which apple support couldn't explain) my purchases have to be downloaded from the cloud. Hope that helps. I still haven't been able to figure out why I have to go through this extra step when I didn't have to a week ago.

How do I download an iTunes purchase when it says "All purchases have been downloaded for this Apple ID."

I have a season pass, so I've already 'purchased' all episodes as they come out.
I get an e-mail saying a new episode is available, I go to iTunes, then Store > Check for Available Downloads...
After a few seconds, I get an error: "All purchases have been downloaded for this Apple ID."
This happens to me frequently. Eventually (usually when the next episode comes out), it just works.
It never allows me to start the download. Since the episode isn't recognized as being on my Apple ID to download in the first place, I obviously can't "re-download" it. Neither checking for downloads, nor redownloading will alow me to get the new episode.
Since I only have one Apple ID, I'm obviously using the right one. I just logged out of my Apple ID and back in, nothing. I changed my password and updated my Apple ID details, logged in again, nothing. I don't have any special firewalls/scanners/security software, just Apple's built-in Mac OS firewall.
This is iTunes 11.0.2 (the current version) on my MacBook Pro.
So... how do I get the episode?

All purchases have been downloaded for this Apple ID

Starting three days ago, my ITunes says "all purchases have been downloaded for this Apple ID" when there is content available for download.
Apple responded to my first support request by making the episode available. The next day, same issue! I again wrote tech support, but no response. Day three, same issue and I've written them again.
When I go to purchases, the episode is there and says that it has not been downloaded. But if I use "check for available downloads" it says they have all been downloaded.
I've done all the obvious things, rebooted, made sure I had the latest copy of iTunes, cleared the iTunes cache, but those did not help.
I have not made any changes to the computer or iTunes around the time this started happening.
Anyone else experiencing this? Any ideas for a solution?
The convenience of automatic downloads has suddenly disappeared!

What recourse do you have when a music purchase does not download to your authorized computers? ("All purchases have been downloaded for this account.") No they haven't!

On May 5th I purchased a song on iTunes on my phone, which downloaded to my iPhone succesfully. When checking the next day on all of my authorized computers, none of them woudl download a copy of it, with the message upon checking for available downloads being that all purchases had already been downloaded. I have the receipt cited in the iTune store history pane, but no copy of this tune has ever been downloaded to any computer in my account.
What can I do at this point to get a copy to download onto my computers? Does it require that I purchase the tune twice? (Can I even do so?)
Thanks

After restoring from backup on iCloud, my photos have been "downloading" for 2 days with no progress at all.

After restoring from backup on iCloud, my photos have been "downloading" for 2 days with no progress at all. Everything else seems to by fine, however. I have all my apps, contacts, even my photostream back, but my camera roll has said "downloading 137 of 1,345" for two days. I really don't want to have to start over as the whole process took almost 3 hours. Help?

Someone mentioned that syncing with ITunes, making sure that photos are being synced - even with an empty folder, fixed the problem. I tried it and it didn't work for me. Anyone got any answers that don't include losing the photos or erasing and restoring from backup again?

I am having this same problem. I took Kappy advice on restarting the Apple Mobile Device Service, however that did not work. I got this message in a pop up window that came up immediately.
Windows could not start the Apple Mobil Device Service on local computer.
Error 1053 The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion.
I have already uninstalled itunes, all the related programs and I cannot reinstall, this Apple Mobil Device message stops the install.
Can anyone please help?

When i try to open itunes ,this written appears :"The iTunes Library file is locked, on a locked disk, or you do not have write permission for this file. "What does it mean?

when i try to open itunes ,this written appears :"The iTunes Library file is locked, on a locked disk, or you do not have write permission for this file. "What does it mean?

To solve this issue all I did was check to ensure that the file permissions were set as described by the earlier posts, followed by simply deleting the iTunes Library Genius.itdb file. Once the file was deleted I was able to open iTunes without difficulty. Note that I am running Windows 8. Hope this helps!
