Can I tell iTunes not to download song purchases since I'm using match?

When I buy new albums on my iPad or iPhone , I don't want to download the songs since I'm using match. Is there a way to stop this? Why can't iTunes ask me when I purchase?

Not at this time. All purchases must be downloaded, which is unfortunate, because your idea makes perfect sense. You may submit your polite feedback to Apple using their feedback form: http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html

    Download the apps on your syncing computer and then sync to the iPod. Note that you can only sync apps for the one syncing computer you use with the iPod. You can manage music and videos among different computer.

  • How can I tell iTunes not to import files that I want to sample listen too?

    Let's say that I want to listen to a sample of something online. I download the file. When I click on the file iTunes opens, the file imports into my library and then it plays. How can I open the file without it importing into iTunes? I know that you can scroll over the file to play it, but I want to scrub around. My iTunes library has a bunch of random audio files in there now. If iTunes can't play without importing, is there any software that does that?
    Using: iTunes 11.0.4

    Click one of the downloaded files to highlight it. Hit command-i to bring up the info pane. Scroll down to 'Open with' (click the disclosure triangle if necessary) and click the drop-down menu - select the QuickTime Player. Click 'change all...'. Now all files with that extension will open with the QT player when double-clicked. Of course you can still drag them into iTunes if you should want them there.

  • How can I tell iTunes to NOT convert certain files from wma format?

    I just got an iPod classic, and downloaded iTunes and it automatically started adding all my music. I have almost 5000 songs that are in wma format, and it started converting them all. Then after it got almost 2000 songs finished, it just stopped. For no reason. So I tried to continue it, and apparently there is no way to just continue where it stopped. It started over at the beginning and is now re-converting all the files it already converted.
    It took over 24 hours to convert those first 2000 files. It seems completely unnecessary that it should have to re-convert them all over again.
    Is there any way that I can tell it NOT to convert those specific files? I figured that you should be able to right-click the file and say "DO NOT CONVERT" or something along those lines, but that is not an option.
    The only other way I've been able to figure out that I could do this is to manually add only the files that it didn't convert last time. But that is over 3000 files, and they are not in the same order on my hard drive that they are on in iTunes so I would never be able to figure out what files were done and what files were not done.
    There HAS to be a way to just highlight certain files and tell iTunes NOT to convert them. Hasn't there?
    Someone please help me. This is really irritating, and I do not feel like waiting for another 3 days for this to finish. I have other things I need to do on my computer, and it seems that while iTunes is converting, it is making everything else very slow.
    Thank you.

    I know they need to be converted, but the problem is, 2000 of the 5000 have already been converted. now it's trying to convert them again. but there is no reason for that. i want to know how to convert the other files that weren't converted yet, without having to re-convert the ones that were already done.
    I would move the ones that were done to a separate folder, but I don't know exactly what ones were done. In iTunes, they are the first 2000 or so in the list, but on my hard drive they are not in the same order.
    Does anyone else know if there's a way to do this?

  • How do I tell iTunes not to install on sync apps that I downloaded?

    I upgraded my SSD on my Mac and I thought I'd download all my apps so they were backed up on my computer. However, now iTunes tries to install them all on my iPhone whenever I try to sync it. I don't have nearly enough space on my iPhone so I always get a bunch of "ghost" apps and an error message that my iPhone is out of space every time I sync. How do I tell iTunes not to attempt to install these on my iPhone on sync? The only options to choose from are "Install" and "Will Install".
    Thanks.
    I have OS X 10.9.3, iTunes 11.2.2 (3), and iOS 7.1.1.

    The easiest way is to simply remove the previous apps from your account, then sync all your apps. You can remove unwanted apps via iTunes. If you want a step by step instructions go to: http://www.cnet.com/how-to/how-to-delete-unwanted-ios-apps-from-itunes/

    Hey davma1
    All you need to delete the songs then go through the process of downloading the past purchase again.

  • I have Madonna music application but I can,t download  songs cos I have message unable to download from web site 5. Please tell  me how I download  song

    When I want to download a song from Madonna music application that I have it  there is a message :unable to download song from web site 5 so please tell me how I download  songs and thanks in advance

    Are you able to connect to other Internet services, such as email, web sites, etc? Has downloading music from the app ever worked for you? If so, then the problem may be with the servers supporting that app. I'd suggest just waiting a few hours or perhaps until tomorrow and see if the problem clears up. If not, the "support" for that app is unhelpful so I can only offer generic suggestions, but you can try restarting your iPad and if that doesn't help removing and reinstalling the app.
    Regards.

  • Can anyone tell me how to download a DVD to iTunes and then onto my ipad? I presume that's legal?

    Can anyone tell me how to download a DVD to iTunes and then onto my ipad? I presume that's legal?p

    If you're talking about a commercial DVD and you're in the U.S. (and a number of other countries), you presume incorrectly. Commercial DVDs are encrypted and breaking that encryption is illegal. For non-encrypted DVDs, use Handbrake.

  • FCP X can't import iTunes music - says "The song "Warp Factor" could not be used because the original file could not be located."

    FCP X can't import iTunes music - says "The song "XXXXX" could not be used because the original file could not be located."
    I saw the reply that iTunes was probably moved. I restored it from Time Machine when my hard drive crashed. How do I fix it to import into FCP X?

    I figured it out by going into iTunes and clicking on the Library link under File. This bring up a box that allows the music files to be reconnected to the iTunes music folder.
    FCP X now sees the music and it can be placed into the project timeline.

  • Why can't i hear all my downloaded songs?

    Why can't i hear all my downloaded songs?

    David is correct. The announcement was that all new music for sale would be non-DRM. There was no guarantee that everything would be upgradable.
    Another possibility is that the iTunes Plus version is there, but the Store did not correctly match it with the old DRM tracks that you bought. If you see the new one in the Store, contact Customer Service.

  • How can I tell itunes to install iPhone App updates automatically?

    ITunes 12 can download app updates. Right now I have to connect my iPhone, go the installed apps and click on (for each updated app) "update" to change it to "will update" and then click "sync". How can I tell iTunes to automatically update any updated app currently on the iPhone?

    I know they need to be converted, but the problem is, 2000 of the 5000 have already been converted. now it's trying to convert them again. but there is no reason for that. i want to know how to convert the other files that weren't converted yet, without having to re-convert the ones that were already done.

    I keep getting the error 306 cannot connect to the iTunes Network when downloading songs on iTunes. I've tried all the troubleshooting steps from the forums and my technical issues are still unresolved. I have Windows 7. Please help!!

    iTunes Store loads partially or returns "Error 306" or "Error 10054"
    Proxies, parental control settings and software, security or filtering software, or a bad iTunes Store cache can cause this.
    To address proxies, Remove Internet Options proxy settings  ( http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1490 ) and connect to the Internet without a proxy.
    To reset iTunes Store cache:
    In iTunes, choose iTunes > Preferences (Mac) or Edit > Preferences (PC).
    Click the Advanced tab.
    Click the "Reset cache" button.
    Click OK and see if the issue is resolved.
    Adjust Parental Controls in iTunes:
    Open iTunes.
    Access iTunes preferences:
    On a Mac: From the iTunes menu, choose Preferences.
    On a Windows PC: From the Edit menu, choose Preferences.
    Click the Parental Controls tab.
    Remove restrictions on Parental Controls.
    For more information on parental controls or content filtering software, see iTunes 10.5 for Windows: May see performance issues and blank iTunes Store.
