Apple TV purchases download to my computer, which I don't want.

Shows I purchase on ATV I just want to watch on ATV, then delete.
I unchecked the "sync" box in the Device setup panel in iTunes, but get the scary warning that all existing TV shows on ATV will be erased...Not sure if that somehow means the ones I simply purchased on ATV and have never been on my MIni, and don't want to find out.
I then selected "sync one episode only" to minimize the hassle, but it's syncing all of them anyway.
Should be simple, but I can't stop the syncing!

by design, the appletv syncs any purchased content back to your itunes library, as your itunes library is the master location for all your content.
there is no way to stop it doing this other than removing the link to your itunes library on the appletv (thus disabling you to sync content in the other direction as well).
the appletv is not designed as a primary storage location, hence why it sync's purchased content back to itunes - this is by design.

When i try to download something with my korean username i want, its keep on saying in the pop up when i click download my canadian username, which i don't want to download with. plus, i've already signed in with my Korean username. how do i fix it?

hellp??

When you update a previously purchased app you will always be asked for the password for the Apple ID you used to purchase it originally. This can't be changed; once an app is purchased all future updates will have to be authenticated with the password for the original ID. Also, Apple will not merge Apple IDs.
The Apple ID you have in Settings>Store on your phone is for future purchase, not updating past purchases purchased under a different ID.

TS3899 just got an iphone 5s today, now all of a sudden when I delete an email on my phone, it also deletes it on my home computer? I don't want it to do that - any ideas?

Hi,
Just got an iphone 5S today. Now all of a sudden when I delete an email on my phone, it also deletes it on my home computer - which I don't want happening............any thoughts?
Thanks.

Assuming that Chris is correct, you can set up the account on the phone as a POP3 account. This will allow you to delete mail from the phone without deleting it from the server, but it also means that you will have to delete mail from the phone separately, so you will have to delete mail twice, once from the phone and once from your computer.
If you want to do that see: Forcing creation of a POP or IMAP email account

I have downloaded Mavericks OSX 10.9 and also Numbers 3.0. I have used Numbers 3.0 on some of my files. Today Apple advised of updates to my computer, which included Numbers. I now find that my computer is running Numbers 0.9 and I cannot access my rev

I have downloaded Mavericks OSX 10.9 and Numbers 3.0. I have revised some of my Numbers files. Today Apple advised of Updates for my computer, which I downloaded. I now find that I am running Numbers 09 on my computer and cannot access my revised Numbers files without going to the App Store and buying Numbers 3.0 for $19.99. Has anyone else run into this problem?

Something similar happened to me: I opened a spreadsheet that I worked on yesterday and received an error message saying that I needed to load a new version of Numbers. That would be the same new version that I had downloaded the day before. It sent me to the App Store where I was told that no new software was available for me.
I noticed that I had the older version of Numbers still open in my dock. I removed it, opened Numbers 3.0, and my spreadsheet appeared.
Not sure that will help in your situation, but I wish you well.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You can re-download content purchased from the app store using the purchased option from the Quick Links section in the top right corner of the iTunes homepage in your iTunes application on your computer.
Why do you want it on your computer, apps won't run on a computer.

I cannot download the app - it says I need to download on a computer which i am doing

If you can't upgrade to ML, your best bet would be to purchase an iWork DVD from someplace like Amazon.

If you want to use your current ID you will either have to provide a credit card or redeem an iTunes gift card. Otherwise you can create a new ID without a credit card to purchase free apps by following this exactly as written: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2534.

My iPad 2 will no longer Sync with iTunes on my computer. It tells me to Restore which I don't want to do as I may lose valuable information from my iPad. My wife's iPad 2 and my ipod still Sync OK. How can I overcome this?

Upgrade to Snow Leopard - it's compatible with the latest version of iTunes, and still supports PowerPC applications.
$19.99 - http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
Snow Leopard is required if you wanted to upgrade to Lion, anyway, which you may want to in the future if the latest version of iTunes no longer supports Snow Leopard.

I am running an older machine OS 10.6.8. I can no longer snyc my iphone. It tells me to download the latest itune which I don't seem to be able to do. Someone told me that my OS is too old. True?

You can use the latest iTunes (11.1.3) on 10.6.8 - if Software Update doesn't provide it (which it should) then you can download it from http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/

çnow won't sync back to my iPad because it says I don't have permission on this computer. I don't want to download it from iTunes again because it took up a lot of bandwidth. What's the deal

I bourght "E O Wilson's Life on Earth" and backed it up to my iMac. Now it won't sync back to my iPad because it says I don't have permission on this computer. I don't want to download it from iTunes again because it took up a lot of bandwidth. What's the deal?
I also made the big mistake of downloading a free book about the making of the movie "Frankenweenie." Mega-memory eater. Now it wants to download additions and started to do so---now says paused. I can't delete the bloody thing. Seems like nothing I've downloaded, including free books, can be deleted. How can I get rid of this garbage?
Is there any way to just transfer my music from my iMac to my iPad and not affect anything else on my iPad? The whole iBooks thing is just a mess as far as I'm concerned. Is there any way to just drag and drop?

"I have logged in to my itunes account on a different computer and none of my purchased music is showing up."
Correct. it does not magially appear in other places. It will only be where you put it.
"I also have plugged my iphone in to get updates but it says I will lose all media and apps if I don't update on the computer where I sync everything. "
Correct as well. Iphone will sync with one computer at a time. Syncing to another will erase the current content.
You need to copy everything ( itunes library/contacts/pics/calendars/files/docs) from the old computer, or your backup copy of the old one, to the new one.

While downloading software update for Itunes, getting message saying detecting Ipad in recovery mode and telling us to restore Ipad to original settings, which we don't want to do. Also cannot turn on Ipad; shows Itunes symbol with connector. Help!

No promises but a System Reset is worth trying:
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.
A System Reset does not remove any apps, music, movies, etc. nor does it cause any settings to revert back to default.
Also, you might wish to download the iPad-2 User Guide. Pay special attention to page 162. Note that this Guide also applies to the iPad-1 with IOS 4.3 except for those functions that are not supported by the hardware.

Finally, the User Guide can be downloaded at no charge via iBooks and a less comprehensive version of the Guide is included as a Safari bookmark.

Pls suggest

Yes, you can certainly create a new Apple ID at appleid.apple.com (which will have to be associated with a different email address from your current ID) and then change the various settings and applications on one of your iPhones to use this new ID.

I have 2 apple IDs, one for Itunes, one for Icloud. Have forgotten pasword for icloud ID. When i try change password it invites me to change password on my other ID, which I don't want to do. How can i change the password?

I have two apple IDs. One is used for most things - Itunes, Apps. The other is the Icloud apple ID which I set up separately when I got my Ipad. I decided to keep them both as I was worried about losing info. However, on updating my Ipad to IOS7, it asked for a password for Icloud apple ID which I have forgotten. I have tried to reset it. The first time, Apple sent me a link inviting me to change the password on my Itunes apple ID which I don't want to do. So I tried to sign in again using the Icloud ID. Rather than asking for email verification this time I asked it to verify security information. It asked for my date of birth which I gave, but it was rejected. So I seem to have no way of resetting the password for the Icloud apple ID. I know I can't merge the 2 IDs so i don't know what to do now!!

Firstly, go to http://iforgot.apple.com and sign in with the ID you use for iCloud. A new password will be sent to your associated email address.
If that doesn't work, for example because it's going to an address you can't access, then you will have to contact Support. Go to https://expresslane.apple.com ; click 'See all products and services' at the bottom of the page. In the next page click 'More Products and Services, then 'Apple ID'. In the next page select 'Other Apple ID Topics' then 'Lost or forgotten Apple ID password' and click 'Continue'.

I can't sign into iCloud because my Apple ID doesn't work there. For some reason it gave me a .mac email and I don't remember the password. When it gives me the option to reset my password, it's my Apple ID password which I don't want to do.

What do I do?

HT1386 I have a new computer with windows 8.1. I want to add the 52 Gb of music now on my old ipod to itunes on the computer. I don't want to wipe out the files on the ipod by syncing to the new computer which has no music files on it yet! How can I do

Apparently I wasn't clear. The music on my ipod is but a subset of all the music on my external hard drives. I want to import only the songs and playlists from my existing ipod into the itunes library on my new computer, which currently has no music or playlists. How can I do this?
