Automatically downloading on iTunes store!?

Today my dad activated his £25 app card on his iPad. Upon going into the iTunes store front his account said 'You have £17.01 in your account'. We quickly went into the purchases and found 'Common's' new album downloading automicatically.
In no way did my father press any buttons, or even scroll near the purchase options. My experience with the iTunes store is that confirmation is asked for before the download begins, this was not asked for so by no means given.
Apart from the fact that a 57 year old man is not particulalry interested in rap music, it's not great that one of his Christmas presents has now become an inconvenience. Hopefully Apple will step up and sort out security issues very soon - has anybody else had this problem over the Christmas period?

I had the same problem with no automatic downloads of purchased Apps ...PLUS... I still recieved message "to use push notifications connect to itunes"
I found solution worked for me:
1- go to "Icloud keychain".  (Under settings----> Icloud).  go there and ENABLE it.  It will ask for passcode and so on.  so once enabled
2- restart your phone (normal power off)
3- reactivate imessage and facetime. (need a few minutes to reactivate)
4- ALL WORKING  ;-)

  • HT4528 songs downloaded from itunes store is not appearing in itunes on any device

    The songs purchased from my iphone itunes store are not appearing in my music library on itunes and I can not get them onto my ipod.

    Hello bradrahaman,
    Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with your purchased songs.  You can download your previous purchases from your account on the iTunes Store on your computer. 
    Use the steps in the section titled “Download previous purchases on Mac or PC ” in the following article:
    Download past purchases

    Additionally, you can enable Automatic Downloads on your computer so that in the future items purchased on your iPhone will automatically download to iTunes on your computer.  Use the steps in the section titled “Enabling Automatic Downloads on your computer” in the article below:

  • HT203433 I can't consistently disable automatic downloads from iTunes

    I keep trying to disable automatic downloads from iTunes (don't want TV shows I've purchased through my Apple TV to download onto my computer), by going to iTunes - Preferences - Store - and it works for a while, then it starts to automatically download these TV shows again when I open iTunes. So it works some of the time, but not consistently. Very frustrating! Can anyone help?

    After reading some of the similar posts on here, I tried removing all the items from the iTunes downloads folder on my hard drive, and signing out from the iTunes store. Signing out from the iTunes store solved the problem temporarily, but as soon as I signed in again, the automatic downloads started again. When I looked in the iTunes downloads folder, there they were again - the .tmp files of the TV shows I DON'T want on my computer. Now I have another problem. When I went back into iTunes to check if the Store Preferences were still set to NO automatic downloads, I found those choices greyed out. They were still set to disable automatic downloads (no tick in those boxes) but now I can't change them at all. So I must have thrown out something I needed when I threw the contents of the downloads folder into the trash, and then emptied the trash. I tried to get the trash back using Time Machine, but couldn't find it in there. Sighhhh! I'm at my wits end and now I'm afraid to make things any worse than they already are.

  • Volume too low on download from itunes store how to fix

    My download from itunes store won't play on my ipad at a decent volume.  How do I fix it? 
    Actually, I suspect the download itself is too low and fuzzy.  How do I reload?

    If you are having a problem with a song you downloaded from iTunes, you can report it to an iTunes worker and they will redownload the song for you for free.  Go to the song you bought and find where it says "report a problem".  Click on that, and you can explain your problem to an iTunes worker.

    If you do, you may want to try Resetting your Apple TV, as others have suggested here: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2319057.

  • Can I turn off automatic download of Itunes Extras

    This has been asked before by someone else but they recieved no answers so I'll try again.
    Can I turn off automatic download of Itunes Extras.  I never use them and have to delete them and they hold up downloads of what I want?
    Thanks

    Thanks Michael. I had no idea that that menu was even there, and it seems odd that it's not accessible frome the regular menu bar (or is it??). But indeed, I do see it now and this may help. The reason I said this approach is still less than ideal is that it will require me to remember all of the accidental unflaggings between syncs to my computer, and then manually reflag everything.... and if I want to be sure to do it right I'll have to take notes etc, which is quite a burden just to get around something that used to work effortlessly and automatically until Apple "improved" it... But thanks!

  • HT1349 I have suddenly lost the whole of my iTunes library, with the exception of music that I have bought and downloaded from iTunes Store.  It was all there yesterday and I haven't altered anything, as far as I know!

    I have suddenly lost the whole of my iTunes library, with the exception of music that I have bought and downloaded from iTunes Store.  It was all there yesterday and I haven't altered anything, as far as I know!  I hope it's something quite simple?
    Apologies, but none of the communities listed seems to fit this question - so I'm taking pot luck!

    For music that you've purchased from Apple that are on your iPhone you should be able to copy to your computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases. Also if you are in the US then you should be able to re-download past music purchases for free : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
    For your own music that you've copied, then if you haven't got a backup on, for example, external drives or CDs/DVDs then you could see if any of the utilities mentioned in this old post still exist and work

  • How do i move music from iphone to pc - not all downloaded from itunes store?

    how do i move music from iphone to pc - not all downloaded from itunes store?

    iTunes includes an option to transfer content that was purchased from the iTunes Store from an iPod or iPhone, but this is for content that was purchased from the iTunes Store only.
    With your iPhone connected and without syncing, at the iTunes menu bar go to File and select Transfer Purchases From - the name of your iPhone.
    This is one of the reasons why maintaining a backup of all your important data (including your iTunes library) stored on an external drive used for backup purposes only, or on other media such as CD or DVD is so important.

  • Speeding up download movies Itunes Store

    How can I speed up downloading a rental movie of 4GB from Itunes Store (other than 10 hrs

    Hi Mario,
    Thanks for your swift reply. The downloadspeed from the wifi I used is 1 MBit/s. For a 2hr HD Movie you say it should take 6 hrs at max. However my download took about 11 hours. When I read other comment on Google concerning this topic, lots of other people seem to run in the same problem. It doesn't make renting or buying movies from Itunes easy. What to do now?

  • Downloading from iTunes Store freezes Macbook Pro

    Whenever I activate a download from iTunes Store (either restart available downloads or try a new one) my computer freezes. No force-quit, no clicking with cursor. Only thing to do is hard restart. Everything is up-to-date (iTunes 8.0.2, Mac OS X 10.5.6) so I don't see that as the problem.
    Anyone with similar problems? More importantly, anyone know the fix?

    The solution with me was:
    Disconnect your internet connection open Itunes, wait for a minute and then connect again to internet and you will see that know it doesn't freeze, I know it is a really stupid solution but it works with my computer.
    After making everything (verify disk, permissions, etc...) this was the only solution.
