Automatic download problem - syncs wrong Apple id
I have 3 Apple Id's , I'm trying to enable automatic downloads on my IPad. Problem is when I switch to on inside settings one of the three apple id's comes up asking for the password. Trouble is the id that comes up is for my ITunes Connect account and is NOT for my personal account associated with my ipad. Once I saw that the wrong account was displayed I went ahead and entered the password for that apple id but the Ipad msg says that its the wrong if for this IPad. I need to be able to have my IPad sync with my personal id.
Any help?

in Settings - iTunes Store and App Store tap your account name and sign off. Sign back in with a correct account. Try again.

Sim download request using wrong Apple ID.... what can I do?
I have 2 Apple IDs: 1 for personal use & 1 for developer use. I used the latter a couple of days ago to download Xcode 4.5 Preview. At that time, I also downloaded the 4.3 & 5.0 simulators. I now want to download the 5.1 sim. But when attempting to do so from Xcode 4.5 (More Simulators option), I get an error (not authorized to do so). It is attempting to use my personal Apple ID for that download & hence the reason for error.
How can I get the download or work around this issue? There was no problem downloading the other sims earlier. But now it keeps defaulting / using my personal ID despite requesting the download via Xcode 4.5. Is there a way to "tell" the download to use another Apple ID?
Thanks in advance.No need to get in touch with account security because they will only tell you what I'm about to tell you...
Just log into the appleid.apple.com website > sign in with his/her apple id > go to password and security in the left side > enter the security questions > and from there you can edit the rescue email. -

hello

plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz help!!!!!!When you connect your iPod to your computer, select it on the left-hand side of your computer's iTunes, and on the right-hand side on the Apps tab make sure that the 'Automatically Sync New Apps' tickbox is unticked (it should be underneath the listbox of apps. You can also use the listbox above that to control which apps are on the iPod

Safari 2.0.1 - Weird download problems and wrong icons
Since updating Safari to 2.0.1 I cannot download and install programms anymore. I tried downloading the current version of Cyberduck:
http://cyberduck.ch/Cyberduck-2.5.dmg
First the download seemed to go fine, but when I copied the programm into the applications folder, it had the wrong icon (a folder icon, whereas it should normally have that duck icon) and it did not load at all. Got some error message that the file was corrupt. So I tried to download the program once more, but this time the .dmg download icon was a Flash icon, the next time it was something else... in any case the .dmg would not unpack at all. When I trashed it and tried to delete the Trash I got an error message saying that some file in there was still running. Save delete finally emptied the trash.
I then tried to download and install another programm ( a .zip file this time) and again it did not unpack.
Somewhen I realized that a lot of the icons in the finder looked blurry or simply were the wrong ones. Rebooting seemed to help at first, but when I tried to download a programm again, all went bezerk again.
Strange enough Firefox seems to have the same problems now suddenly. I'm really lost. I'm pretty new to Macs. Help much appreciated.

You use the cd only when you need to repair the Disk also known as Disc repair. Please read the Directives in the posts carefully , so that you understand them & then apply.
To run Repair Disk permissions you go.> Utilites>Disk Utility pick your Hard Drive & pick Repair Disk Permissions, you can get info after @ the tool bar at the Info button there will be messages when it runs in the window on the Utility. Really though reread the links so that you understand. Also read as much as you can hear at Discussion, that is what I do.
Also make sure that when you post you go to the most pertinent, place to post, where you will get the most attention.

I have a problem syncing iCal on my Macbook air (10.7.5) and my iPhone 4s (5.1.1) over iCloud. The following server error message comes up "The request (CalDAVAccountRefreshQueueableOperation) for account “iCloud” failed." Been to Apple Store - no luck instore, or with Super genius over the phone when with genius in store, taking data in real time via ethernet!
I had to do a full wipe of my system because of time machine back up issues 2 weeks ago, and the error has only occured at some point since then. I only did a drag and drop of my user account folders/files into an External HDD rather than a copy of my user account (advised by the staff in store at Apple to do this) and when reimported, the Mail folders are all present but each message is in a sub-sub-sub folder that is numerically named. I do not have a mirror image of the hard disk prior to the wipe, only a time machine back up from 2 weeks prior to it being done. I am uncertain if this reinstall has caused the issue.
I am not happy to upgrade the software in my iPhone until I have the calendars working. I have purchased Mountain Lion, but again am concerned about upgrading until the issues are sorted.
I have tried the other solutions on here with no luck. HELP please.
Many Thanks.Progress Update.
I made a back of what existing phtos and Videos I had on my Iplhone. I used Image capture to do this making an entire back up of photos and videoa that were still intact on the phone.
Image capture is god for this purpose, as it does exactly what you ask it to do without applying any rules or squishing the files back into iphote (which might also be corupted)
Image capture wil do the basic function of retriving the contents of the phone and save them as native files on your hard drive.
Once I did this I erased my iphone, and re intitialised it restoring an older back up from icloud.
As the retore was happneing - I did retreive the missing files that cuased the intial beviour as above, and I could play the videos that were missing in the above scenerio. The wierd ting was however that even though the source files were now back on the device, the thumbnail previews were missing. Where I ahd balck thumb nails for server portions of the resotred content.
I then went to bed as the restore is a long process. When I woke up the library had library had cleaned itself up. Mysteriously the prcess had deleted the files missing the their thumbnails.
This is very perculiar and bad behavior.
I am now repeating the process, and will attempt to download the missing content as it is restored and prior to the phone trying to fix itself.
Here are the lessons learned.
DO NOT rely on Photo Stream to keep back ups and synchornise videos from you IOS device. IT DOES NOT SUPPORT THIS CAPBILITY
DO NOT rely on iCloud Back Up alone - always fd an occassional iTunes back up or more reliably still always take a back up of photos and video files using Image Capture to be doubly sure that you a have backd up any content.
DO THIS NOW - dont wait to loose your phone ofr have your phone repaired by replacement at the apple Store. (I did both :-( -
I recently bought a new ipod 4 gen 32 G. I had an 8 g .I'm trying to turn on automatic downloads so when I buy a song from Itunes it automatically downloads without plugging it into computer to sync. When I turn on Auto Downloads, It say...This device is already Associated with an apple ID You can auto-download purchases on this device with just one Apple ID every 90 days. You cannot associate this device with a different Apple ID for 30 days. When I click OK it turns th downloads off..Can someone help me? I've returned the 8g to regular factory settings as I'm giving it to a friend.
You have to wait. See:

My email to apple about problems syncing iBooks
Here is the email I sent to Apple support today about my problems syncing ibooks. Am I the only one who can't figure out how I make this work?
I can't figure out how to sync ibooks. There are limited choices. I can sync all books or select books on my iDevice and sync. That is it. But repeatedly I get notifications of book updates on my ipad. I download the updates on the iPad, but when I sync with my Mac, those updates get overwritten by the older version on the iMac and again I get the notifications to update. There is no way to overwrite the older iBook with the newer one. You folks need to fix this.
Also on my iPhone, a red circle with a number will appear on my ibooks app, but there is absolutely nothing the user can do with this information. There is no update pane as there is on the iPad. If I go into my ibooks App Store section and check my library, many older books say they need updating. There is no correlation between these books and the number in the red circle. Besides, even if I update them all, they will be overwritten when I sync and so the update is a waste of my time too. You folks need to fix this as well.
Since I have iCloud syncing, you would think that an update I make on my ipad or on my iPhone would sync over the cloud to the other devices and to ibooks on my Mac. But while purchases sync, updates do not. You folks need to fix this also.
On my Mac, I will always say to sync all ibooks, but during the sync process the "all" box will uncheck itself sometimes and switch to "selected" books. The books it selects seems somewhat random, though it appears to be related to updates! If it worked that would be great! If unchecking a book meant that the updated copy would be transferred back to the iMac, that would be fantastic! But unchecking the box simply deletes the book from the iDevice. You folks really need to fix this as well.
On a separate but equally important topic, now that ibooks has its own library that is not a part of iTunes, you have removed the ability to edit the metadata for the books. I can no longer change the cover art, or fix typos in the author's name, or anything else. Many people on your support forums are as unhappy as I am with this scaling back of capabilities.
I appreciate your taking the time to read. If this wasn't a huge problem for me, I wouldn't have taken the time to write all this. I hope you are able to act on these problems.
Appreciatively,I am reading hundreds of comments like yours. Apple really missed the mark on this one. I have hundreds of books that are no longer showing up on my iOS devices, which are nice and cozy residing only on my iMAC. Frustrating does not begin to express it.
Hopefully they will take this seriously. I have no desire to switch to another source, but if they don't fix the problem I'd rather convert all my books to a Kindle or Nook readable device - OY!
Happy Turkey Day! -

I always have problem when I download movies on the Apple Tv, I can t find them?!!
Can you please help me?
ThanksYou may wish to enable automatic downloads in your iTunes > preferences > store settings.
You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) 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. -
For me, a time capsule is even safe when you have whatter damage op fire in your house. Am I wrong or is it just an additional HD like there are so maney with the only advantage that it goes automatically via your wifi for apple devices?
Jloe,
As I have posted before, You, and others having issues with Verizon would be much better off if you complained to the FCC and FTC as well as your Senators and Congressmen. We, as individuals, have such small voices - use them where they might do the most good.
Also, don't assume that Verizon doesn't monitor these postings, they actively do & sometimes contact those that post complaints.
Sorry for your problems. GC -
Apple TV 2.0 Podcast Automatic Download
Has anyone found away to automatically download the latest versions of selected PodCasts? I'd like to stop syncing my podcasts from my iTunes PC and just use the Apple TV to manage my video podcasts.
Apple, PLEASE add this feature to the next version of Apple TV firmware. Thanks...We're talking subscribing to Podcasts and TV Shows directly from Apple TV. This has nothing to do with iTunes in your computer

Problem with automatic downloads on multiple computers with shared storage
I have a main Windows computer I use to rip my CD's, download Digital Copies from DVD's, buy iTunes movies, and sync my iPhone/iPad. My iTunes library points to a shared location on a MediaSmart Windows Home Server as "\\mediasmart\itunes\music". I have turned on automatic downloads on this computer so it downloads music/apps/books if I buy something on one of my other devices.
I also have iTunes installed on the above mentioned MediaSmart Windows Home Server to serve content to my Apple TV's throughout the house and I point the iTunes library to the same location as the above Windows computer - which is local to the MediaSmart server - as "d:\itunes\music". I do this because the main Windows computer is also used as the main system for the house - quicken, AnyDVD, etc. and I don't want to impact performance on that computer if I decide to watch a movie on one of my Apple TV's. Anyway, to avoid having to manually copy music and books to the MediaSmart server, I enabled Automatic Downloads. In short, it works as advertised. Now, if I buy a song on the main Windows computer it gets automatically downloaded to the MediaSmart server and added to the iTunes library in the Purchased playlist - which is exactly where I want it to go. However, I just noticed last night that I now have multiple copies of those songs that are "Automatically Downloaded".
As an example, on the main Windows Computer I recently bought the song Gasoline. It was placed in a folder named "\\mediasmart\itunes\music\kicking harold" and the song was named "01 gasoline.mp4". Then....within a few minutes the MediaSmart iTunes automatically downloaded the song Gasoline and placed it in "d:\itunes\music" BUT named the song "01 gasoline 1.mp4". I figured iTunes would be smart enough to actually check for the physical song before re-downloading it and creating another copy of it.
Is there anyway to fix this or some setting I am missing? I hope the above makes sense.
Thanks for any assistance.GoHerdIBG wrote:

Yes it makes sense, and no I don't think you're missing some obvious setting. I think iTunes needs to gain some optimisation in this area. For instance if I make a purchase on my iPad I see iTunes downloading an independent copy instead of letting the download complete on the iPad and then copying it over to the PC via Wi-Fi. Hopefully these issues will get tidied up as iTunes in the Cloud meets the real world, though it probably wouldn't hurt to add your feedback.

After downloading 5.0.1 to my Phone, I lost my music on the
phone. Syncing on different ways didn't help. On the phone , in STORE, misses in Automatic downloads: Music!
Is that part of the problem? Or is 5.0.1.not corrt?Oh my gosh I had the EXACT same problem, and for ages I couldn't figure out how to fix it until today. Here's what I did:
First I went onto my computer, opened itunes, and un-installed tumblr, vine and kik. These were the apps I was having problems with (it said I had them on my phone but, like you, they didn't show).
Then I went to the itunes store, searched for each one, and it said I could update them so I did (just FYI: for tumblr a window popped up saying "please click ok to confirm you are 17 years or older", so I did that also)
When I went back to my phone and tried installing them again (still on my computer), it worked!
I hope this helps, because it was incredibly frustrating. Good luck! -

Apple ID & App download problem
I'm having the folliwing problem with my Apple ID. When my sister got her iPhone, you needed a Credit card to create an ID and she didn't have one. I used my ID to download basic apps on her phone back then. Later on, she changed the default apple ID on her phone but still, whatever App I purchase, automatically downloads on her phone too. I went to Manage decives and removed her phone, I Deauthorized all computers except for my laptop but she can still get all apps I download.
How can I fix this?
Thanks.have her go to settings/itunes&app stores/turn automatic downloads off on her device.

Hi all, on my 3GS while in settings, then store, at automatic downloads for music, apps, and books I have selected on, then a couple of seconds later the selections go right back to off by themselves, what am I doing wrong here? Thanks...
Ok, hey folks I figured this out, I had recently changed my iTunes account password, but my iPhone had the old password set in it, once I entered the correct password into the iPhone I was able to change the selections in automatic downloads, i went over to my MacBook Pro and downloaded a free song and app as a test and both showed up right any on the iPhone,
hope this helps anyone with the same problem,
Steve...
