Apple you have to explain this please.

This makes no sense. TC is forever making huge backups, 3.5 - 4 gb backups when the only thing open is mail.
I have excluded everything but Documents, Mail, iCal, Music, Pictures and Movies. Those are the only things to backup.
So today. I took some photos and imported to Aperture. Not many. 30. I also bought two movies on iTunes. Almost 3 gb's. But I always move the movies to a network computer dedicated to iTunes Music and video to the AppleTV.
So TC starts up. It say 3.8 GB's. But then I remember I forgot to delete the movies from my computer. So I cancel TC. And I delete the two movies. And one more I don't watch. So three, Field of Dreams, Caddyshack and Something's Got To Give. Deleted and trash empty.
So I manually start TC. This is all within 3 minutes of starting up at 3.8 GB. Delete and restart.
On restart? TC now says 42.6 GB!!!!!!!!!
I delete data and the backup is 10 times larger?
I wiped my 1 TB TC a week ago. Why? It was more than half filled from just these types of backups. And the fresh, new backup of my MBP via ethernet is only 60GB.
How can TC right now tell me 42.6 GB? It makes no sense.

OMG - You have Aperture !!!

    I had the same issue with my apple tv 3rd generation. I rented Sinister and selected the "rent and watch now" option. Half way through the movie I accidentally pressed the menu button. When I looked for the rented movie on my apple tv I could not find it. Not even above the movie pannel where "purchased" and "top movies" comes up on the main menu. the apple tv suggests to go to settings>downloads but I don't have that option. I did go to settings> itunes store> check rentals but that didnt work either. It took too long to even check. Thank you because this SOLUTION worked great.

  • I want to gift a season that I have purchased. When I select the season I am not given the gift option, only "you have already purchased this season" Help....I'm trying to give Apple money here!

    Another poster said that if you sign out of your iTunes Store account, go to the item you wish to gift, and select "gift" and go through the purchase process, it will then ask you for your account information and send the gift. I haven't tried this myself, but it's worth a go.
    Regards.

  • How can I get around VoiceOver in iOS 5 requiring 4-5 taps in the "Purchased" search in the App Store?  It's the ONLY area you have to do this with!  A glitch???

    It's the ONLY area you have to do this with!  A glitch???  I sure hope so!  But, at this point, I have torn the entire VoiceOver app apart to the nth degree and have isolated this issue to THIS area ONLY.
    Apple, please help, or UPDATE iOS 5, AGAIN!
    Thank you...

    iBooks only syncs purchased books. Others must be synced in iTunes.

  • You have already rented this item

    Strange issue.  I rented a movie but before I watched it, my apple tv crashed and restarted.  Now, the rented movie does not appear and when I go back to the movie, it says "you have already rented this item but it has not been downloaded.  To download it, go to the Settings menu, select Downloads, and Check for Downloads."
    Of course, when I go to the Settings menu, there is no Downloads menu.  The closest I can find is in Settings/iTunes Store/Check For Rentals.  When I do that, it just says "no additional rentals found".  So, I am not sure that I was ever billed for the rental (as this only happened last night) but it appears I have no way to actually rent and watch the movie.
    Thanks for any suggestions!

    This worked for my Apple TV.
    I didn't need to call Apple to reset the downalod queue for me as I reset the Apple TV by myself thru "Rest All Settings".
    1. Settings
    2. General
    3. Reset
    4. Reset All Settings
    ---- After Apple TV system reset and re-setup
    5. Movies
    ---- You should see "Rented" at the top menu bar
    6. Select your rented movie
    Hope this helps.

  • I cannot download an app from the app store, it keeps loading until it says "You have already purchased this app so it will be downloaded no at  no additional charge", and then it prompt for password and I input it after which nothing happens.

    I cannot download an app from the app store, it keeps loading until it says "You have already purchased this app so it will be downloaded no at  no additional charge", and then it prompt for password and I input it after which nothing happens.
    I know my icloud has record of my installing this app before, but that was the first install that was failed during that time some other apps also keeps loading without respond whey they updated itself, and this app didn't install before I restart the device. But I don't see this app on my device after I restarted the device so it should have been installed on my device. It seems icloud has created some kind of dead loop that makes it not able to get the correct status about this app on my device.
    I have no problem install this app on my other device (iPad) with the same account, but just fail on my iPhone. And it just fine installing other apps...... What happened !!?? @@
    Please help !!! 

    Someone help! I dont know how to do this and please put the words into an easy way to understand because im young...

  • Itunes wont sync my music on 5S Apple YOU HAVE A BIG PROBLEM

    Hi,
    Apple YOU HAVE A BIG PROBLEM !!!!
    Having tried all proposed solutions found in the communities, but none of all didn't work !
    I had no problem at all on my previous 4S with IO 7.0.2 , but since last week I get my brand new 5S with IO 7.0.4 & its only a mess to sync all my music on this phone . Latest Itunes is installed on my computer.....
    All music albums are on my 5S, but marked with this red circle with a red dot in the middle ...
    It's a shame that no solutions works & that Apple didn't react to help all the customers to fix this bug!
    I hope that someone @ Apple will read this ....

    This may sound like a terrible solution, but have you tried switching the file format to .m4a (itunes default format) on all of your music?
    If not, it just might work.

    Doublechecking before proceeding. Do you have Kaspersky security software installed on the PC? (There's been a couple of reports of this in recent times being associated with Kaspersky interfering with the installs.)

  • HT1725 When I click on a Movie I get the following "You have already purchased this item but it has not been downloaded. To download it, select Check For Available Downloads from the Store menu." Then get err = 11111

    iTunes quit unexpectedly during the download of a movie.  When I click on that movie now I get the following message: "You have already purchased this item but it has not been downloaded. To download it, select Check For Available Downloads from the Store menu."
    I follow the instructions, but the download still doesn't resume - err = 11111
    Any advice?

    Yeah, I am going to blast my iPhone for the 4th time today and pray this goes away. I had 6 apps showing updates, the 6 badge icon shows on the App Store on my iPhone and, having run them all, the 6 apps have two copies each on my iPhone: one that is the old version of the app and will not run and the other is a faded version of the app with an empty progress bar on the icon. Click those and you get an error message about connecting to iTunes, etc. as described in the article I linked to above.
    It gets stranger than this. If I install a completely NEW app, the 6 that are stuck mid-update heal themselves and appear with the new version only, however now completely different apps (Hold Em for instance - which I did not update and didn't need an update) will not launch "app name Cannot Launch" message comes up.
    Agh!

  • Apps - Download All Free Updates - You have already purchased this item

    I have an iPad and iPhone, and over the past few months I've noticed that iTunes keeps getting confused when trying to download app updates.
    So right now if I run iTunes, it shows that there are 16 updates in Apps.  I click on Apps and then click the "16 Updates Available" link at the bottom right.  This opens the "My App Updates" view.  I then click "Download All Free Updates" and get a prompt that says:
    You have already purchased this item
    You have already purchased this item but it has not been downloaded. To download it, select Check For Available Downloads from the Store menu.
    This is confusing because:
    I have no idea which of the 16 app updates it is talking about
    I'm not told why it has not been downloaded
    Check for available downloads doesn't do anything.
    I can get around this problem by manually downloading each update individually, syncing and trying an update again.  But after a few weeks I get more updates and the problem starts all over again.
    Any ideas why this is happening?
    Cheers
    Boz
