Welcome to the Apple Support Communities,
I had a similar issue and it was an easy fix for me. First you need to log out of your account completely in the Mac App Store. Quit the application. Re-open the Mac App Store. Click log-in, enter your Apple-ID and password. Now when the screen pops-up that has all of your billing/credit card information on it DO NOT select done. Instead select View my Account, then select View hidden purchases. There you should be able to find iPhoto. Hope this helps if not let me know. I'm still searching solutions for you.

I'm trying to turn on automatic downloads, but I see an alert that says 'This device is already associated with an apple ID.'

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:
iTunes Store: Associating a device or computer to your Apple ID
You can still sync the media from your iTunes library

Turned on automatic downloads, now I have duplicates.

I purchased songs via my computer and turned on automatic downloads on my iPod touch. When I synced my iPod I had duplicates. I erased all my songs but the ones that got downloaded didn't dissappear. Now I don't know how to erase the purchased songs (duplicates/automatic downloads) from my iPod. I have duplicates on my iPod but not on my computer.

When I'm in the Music tab from my iPod touch the Show duplicates is grayed out. I wanna know how to delete them or something without deleting or reseting my iPod completely.

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!

Something may have gone amiss on your iPhone.
To attempt to correct this follow these steps:
Backup your iPhone using iTunes or iCloud.
Use iTunes to completely restore your iPhone as Factory new.
Monitor battery usage to see if it is normal. If not, you may have a hardware problem - if so, contact Apple support.
Restore your iPhone from your backup above.
Check battery usage to confirm that it is still normal.

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 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 do i turn off automatic downloads

So i recently bought the iphone 5c and was downloading some apps that i havent had b4 on my moms/brothers iphone 4s and the apps i downloaded on my phone also downloaded on his phone becuase i am the only one with the apple id and i dont think he likes it when i download like 5 apps and they end up on his phone autotimaticly

It is in Settings>iTunes & App Stores to change automatic downloads. But it isn't your device that needs to be changed if you are the one that made the download. He needs to turn off the setting for automatic downloads on his phone. I'm guessing here, but you are all sharing the same Apple ID?

HT4915 My iPod touch will not let me turn off automatic downloads and match is clogging up everything will downloads that I don't want. Help!

After getting the match program my iPod is trying to download my entire library from the cloud. I have too much music and not enough space so it is constantly running trying to download and I haven't figured out a way to stop the downloads so that I can get what I want. When trying to deselect the automatic downloads it slides back to on. Is there a way to stop this madness? I can't even listen to what music I do have on it.

Having automatic downloads on does not cause iTunes Match to automatically download your Match library to your device. It only causes new purchases made on another device with the same ID to automatically download to your device.
Try turning off iTunes Match on your device, then turn it back on. If it's still downloading unwanted media, go to Settings>iTunes & App Store, tap your ID, sign out, then sign back in.

Cannot turn off automatic?

Why sometime my ipad mini could not turn off automatic?...anyone...

Automatic what? Downloads? In settings>iTunes & App Stores>Automatic Downloads? Or WiFi Syncing? iCloud Backups? The iPad itself turn off automatically?
Please explain a little more and provide some details.

How do I turn off automatic downloads of newspapers that I have in the Newsstand?

On my iPad I want automatic download, but on my iPhone I only want to download manually. I can't find where to change that setting in iOS7...
Every day when I wake up my iPhone have downloaded the latest issue of my daily newspaper that I subscribe to, but if I forget to delete these it takes up a lot of space on my iPhone. Therefore I only want to download the newspaper manually on the iPhone when I need to.
Thanks in advance.

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

How do I turn off Automatic Download?

Lately, iTunes on my computer has been evil with me. It's been acting up by crashing or not letting me download videos when it gives me the "error 50" message. Every time, I open up iTunes on my computer it starts downloading the Digital Copy of Rise of the Guardians and True Blood season 5. So how do I stop the iTunes program on my computer from automatically downloading? It is really annoying. My computer is a Lenovo laptop with Windows 8.
