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!

  • Can't turn on automatic downloads in iTunes

    Preferences>store> ...when i check the three boxes I get this message: This computer is already associated with an Apple ID. can anyone help with this. I have an iMac core i3 and 10.7.2  I can't seem to get those boxes check for automatic downloads.

  • How do I turn off automatic downloads on Itunes to my PC?

    I have one apple ID for our family.  My sons download tons of music and apps, most of which I have no interest in. However, when I open Itunes, all of their stuff downloads to my PC which is taking up too much room.  I don't want their music on my computer.  How can I stop their songs and apps from downloading?  I've tried checking the obvious boxes in Preferences, but the downloads begin as I'm checking the boxes.
    Any suggestions?

    For TV series and Movies, they should only ever download to your computer if they are 'Unwatched' episodes/features.   If so, go to the TV Shows and/or Movies section in iTunes (under Library pane on the left of your screen).  If there are 'Unwatched' episodes, a little red circle with a number in it should appearin the corner of every TV show cover.  Just right click each cover and select 'Mark as watched'.  They should stop downloading then.
    As for music, I suppose Jon_E may be right.  And it's not elegant, but that's iTunes!  Why Apple outsourced the development of some of it's most heavily used software to a third party developer is beyond me.  It should really be a little more intuitive.  Surely they've received plenty of feedback to that effect?
    Good luck!

  • Turning off 'automatic downloads'

    For the last few weeks, whenever I connect my iPhone (and possibly my iPad) I get an iTunes window asking me to "enter account name and password" for 'automatic downloads'. I don't understand what 'automatic downloads' are, and iTunes Help doesn't tell me how to stop this window popping up (Help just tells me how to set up automatic downloads).
    Anyone here know what it's all about, and how to stop it?

    This is a feature that lets you automatically receive items purchased from other devices.  Things you buy from your computer can be pushed to your iPhone, iPad, etc.  Things you purchase on your iPhone can be pushed ot your computer, iPad, etc.
    If you don't want this:
    In iTunes, go to Edit/ Preferences/ Store and turn off automatic downloads.
    On all your iOS devices, go to Settings/ Store/ and turn off automatic downloads.

  • How can i turn off automatic printing on my ipad mini

    how can i turn off automatic printing on my ipad mini. every day My printer prints out a weekly calendar at the same time. How can I stop or disable this. Thanks

    The complete backup and restore procedure is explained in the link above.
    If you don't want to do a restore, then your iPad may remain in the unstable state you have for the moment.
    You can change the country in the App Store. Have a look at the bottom of the App Store screen, you can change the country and also do the permanent change via Manage > Account.
    You can change the language in iTunes via General Preferences > under General tab.

  • Keyboard backlight can't turn off automatically

    Keyboard backlight can't turn off automatically on my MBP Retina after I installed mountain lion. It worked fine before I upgrade OX10.7 to 10.8. How can I fix it?

    Ah sorry didn't notice you have XP. Power Plan Assistant is for 7 and Vista only. FYI I've been searching for the working solution days and nights before found the Power Plan Assistant software... I have to tell, there seem to be no other workarounds if you want to keep Bootcamp.exe in RAM. If you kill it, remove it from startup items in registry and reboot, there will be no keyboard backlight (pros), but as well no hardware controls at all, no delete key, no multitouch function of touchpad, etc... (idea-killer cons)

  • How do i turn off automatic download and make it stay off

    I use the preferences in ITUNES to turn off automatic down loads and every time i start iTunes it  tries to force me to sign to an ICLOUD account and automatic download. I have tried everything I can find on apple help sites. But you Apple carefully stays away from the subject of how to make it stay off. I have 10.9.4 system
    and 11-3 (54) iTunes.

  • How can I turn off automatic loading of Bridge in PhotoShop CS2?

    For the life of me I can not find the way to turn off automatic
    startup of bridge in CS2. Please help....

    Thanks for the reply. On my computer I am running PSCS2 and InDesign CS4. I went into InDesign Preferences and disabled running scripts. Then I opened PhotoShop, preferences and there was a option to uncheck, automatically start Bridge with PhotoShop. I swear I looked for this option 4 or 5 times and it was not there. Now either I am going looney or disabling the option to run scripts in CS4 did the trick. If any of you are still using CS2 would you confirm that the option is or is not there to disable bridge when starting PSCS2.
    I am thankful that you guys have helped me to resolve this. I am still curious as to whether I am going looney....you guys are the best!

  • How do I turn off automatic downloads in Yosemite 10.10?

    Since upgrading to Yosemite 10.10, the App Store is automatically downloading updates.  This creates an issue as my internet access is through Hughes Net satellite.  I have a daily download allowance.  The updates often quickly suck up my entire allowance causing me additional charges for an additional allowance.  I need to shut off automatic downloads/updates and can't find where to do this.  Please help.

    Go to system preferences>app store. Uncheck "automatically check for updates."

  • 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.
