Cannot cancel iTunes U download.

I wanted to download some iTunes U podcasts / videos on gardening. There is a series called the Backyard Gardener, I believe, from the U of Nebraska that has something like 200 segments.
When I try to download a segment, iTunes attempts to download all of them as the entry in the download tab lists a high MB count and a time of 8 hours when a segment is only a one hour piece. After several tries, I gave up on it, canceled the download and deleted the entry from the download list. Now, periodically, when I start iTunes, it starts downloading the same massive file again. Since I am on a satellite link and limited to 200MB/day, this can be a problem if I do not catch it.
The question is, how do I stop it permanently?
Also, the individual entries in the listing have the word "clean" in a rectangle next to them. I have not been able to find any definition of what this means. Any ideas?
Thanks for the help.

Okay then...
So apologies everyone, I just realised a few moments ago that the solution I gave up there (switching off "subscription") does not work.
My iTunes U has kept on downloading, & is now up to a whopping 10 GB, from about 1.5 before I went in clicking on items in there...
However, something even scarier has begun happening - rather than STOP after the iPad ran out of space - I had about 3 GB when the ******** app began downloading, what iTunes U along with iOS have begun doing is systematically ERASE CONTENT to create space - WITHOUT ANY SORT OF WARNING/NOTIFICATION OR REQUEST FOR PERMISSION - from other apps on the device - my Last.fm artist image downloads went first (about 1.2 GB), then ALL the movies from my Movie Player App (about 5 GB), and now I see it closing down the space little by little as long as a connection is on - we're now on 700 MB, and my guess is that either one of my games, or iBooks are gonna be next... believe me I'm not lying, this is actually happening.
Honestly, Apple, having it DELETE MY STUFF WITHOUT NOTIFYING ME???
Unreal.
I can't delete the app because I need the content being downloaded, deleting it means starting again from scratch which I can't do because I'm on a metred connection, and have already gone waaaay over my quota since this nonsense began...
Again. Unbelievable.
Over to you, Apple

  • Cannot get itunes to download

    cannot get itunes to download

    This fix does not work for me because there is no apple software update to repair because an earlier fix said to uninstall it and all the other apple componants before reinstalling. I also can not reinstall at all now. There are heaps of people with the same problem. When I try to reinstall itunes it goes part way and then I get the same error message "there is a problem with the windows installer package". Why all of a sudden is this happening after years of using itunes?

  • Cancel iTunes Match downloads

    I upgraded to iOS 6.0 and inadvertently hit the download cloud button for an artist (to download all albums/tracks from that artist).  I have over 950 songs in the queue and I have tried everything. To stop them from downloading.  I've turned iTunes Match off, I've deleted the artist, nothing works.  I hate this new iTunes Match.

    Downloads are handled by the iTunes app, not the Music app. To stop them and clear the queue open the iTunes app and tap More > Downloads. There you'll be able to stop and delete the tracks.

  • Cannot use iTunes to download apps or rearrange icons

    Since I updated iOS 8 on my iPhone 6 this morning, I cannot rearrange the icons on my screens, either right on the phone or in iTunes when connected with USB cord.  I also cannot install apps that I previously downloaded.  Anyone else having these problems?  The iTunes store is supposedly functional again.
    Thanks in advance!

    Hi handyfromdurham,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    I understand that you were having issues installing apps and rearranging apps. You also make mention of the interruption to Apple Services. Was this issue resolved after the affected Apple Services came back up or are you still experiencing this issue? The link to check the status of Apple Services is included below for future use. Please let me know if the issue continues.

  • I simply cannot get itunes to download

    Hello lunabugg20,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    In this type of situation where iTunes has been removed from your computer but will not reinstall, I would suggest going back through and making sure not only iTunes, but all of its components are uninstalled as well and in the correct order. After everything has been uninstalled, try the install fresh again from the Apple website.
    Remove and reinstall iTunes and related software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8 - Apple Support
    Remove iTunes and related components from the Control Panel.
    Use the Control Panel to uninstall iTunes and related software components in the following order. Then restart your computer.
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later)
    Don't uninstall these components in a different order, or only uninstall some of them. Doing so might have unintended affects.
    Cheers,
    Joe

  • Cannot open itunes after download

    I just bought my nano ipod. i downloaded everything as instructed;however, when i clicked on the itunes icon to open it--the agreement consent form pops up and disappears before i can click anything! also, the quicktime player pops up and then dissappears as well. on windows task manager, when i open either files they register as running and then dissappear as the application does. my firewall is set to allow itunes, and i have redownloaded both programs only for them to dissappear again. what should i do? thank you.

    hi krizia!
    you've got "the flash". i'm afraid that this one is almost certainly being caused by malware on your PC. see:

  • Cannot get iTunes to download correctly: Error Code 2324

    Everytime I try to install the newest version of iTunes, I end up having to go in and do a download only because I keep getting an error. Once I get to the end of this step, it gives me the following error, "The installer has encountered an unexpected error installing this package. This may indicate a problem with this package. The error code is 2324." It then reverses the progress it has made and tells me to start over. I have already downloaded ALL of the Windows Updates. I have Windows 7. HELP ME PLEASE!!!

    Hello there, Tricia.
    You may have to find the download folder for the browser you are using and launch the installer from there. Another option you may want to try is using another browser to download and install iTunes. The following Knowledge Base article offers up some steps for how to download iTunes using Windows Internet Explorer:

  • Cannot open iTunes since downloading os5

    ever since i downloaded the new os5 to my 2 1 st generation ipads i have been unable to open itunes, the app store as well as other random web sites like msnbc and ebay...ant ideas?

    Try closing all apps completely and then do a reset and see if that helps. To close all apps : from the home screen (i.e. not with any app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the each app to close them, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    To reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

    I downloaded the latest iTunes software update and it properly installed.  But,  I cannot close the update window showing it was completed and the blue completion bar is full but cannot cancel or close it either.  Any ideas on how to clear that out and close the window.  Tried to quit on both the big window and the software update title in the menu bar.  No luck.

    Tried that by shutting down via the power button only as the normal shutdown was nixed by the open window issue.  It did not help.  Found a very similar question in the discussions and it recommended "Force Quit".  That worked and the update works normal and the window is gone.  Thanks!
