How can I force ITunes store to demand a password before purchases?

A certain teen offspring of mine is ordering ITunes songs at will and regardless of cost or my warnings for her to stop. It's set up so you just go into ITunes store and order, i.e. it bypasses any password question. How can I force the process to demand a password which I have already set? This way she would have to ask permission from me, and I can decide yes or no.

Remove your CC info. Re-add it when you want to purchase then remove it immediately after.
Also, change your iTunes password and log out of the iTunes store.
It's set up so you just go into ITunes store and order, i.e. it bypasses any password question
Select the iTunes store in iTunes.
Log out of the iTunes store.
Find any item to purchase (or download free) then click on Buy.
A window will pop up and ask you to log in to the store.
Uncheck *Remember password for purchasing*. This will require a password a when you make a purchase. If you have removed your CC info, that will also need to be input to make a purchase.

  • Itunes and proxy settings. Itunes keeps the proxy setting from IE and I can't adapt it due to company policy. How can I force itunes to use firefox?

    itunes can not connect to server and I can't find its proxy settings.
    So I think it uses these from IE and those are blocked by company policy.
    So, how can I force itunes to use the firefox settings

    I fixed this issue (with help from tech support) and it involved several things.
    After adding a song to iTunes, right-click on the song in iTunes and select "Update iTunes Match."
    OR go to the iTunes menu-->Store-->Update iTunes Match.
    Maybe that's the reason, it just hadn't updated to the cloud.
    OR maybe it's not a high-enough bitrate file.   This happens to me because most of my tunes are home-recorded.
    Sometimes converting to .mp3 or Create AAC version might work. (You do this with a right-click in iTunes, and then you will want to remove the original file from iTunes.)
    There is an iTunes Preferences setting, under General Preferences called Import Settings.  Try setting it to AAC Encoder and iTunes Plus.   That (I think) causes imports to be slightly better quality.
    Good luck!  The tech support person at Apple is requesting that a knowlege-base article be written about this.

  • How can I force iTunes Match to upload a "Duplicate" to the iCloud?

    I have one album where the first track was uploaded, and the other eleven tracks are all tagged as "Duplicates." These tracks were not uploaded to the iCloud. How can I force iTunes Match to upload these eleven tracks erroneously tagged as Duplicates?

    I'm adding my 2¢ because I just "discovered" iTunes Match yesterday and decided to subscribe thinking there was no downside (doh!).
    Well, firstly, there's the enormous downside of Apple's structure not being able to keep up with (what they should have known would be) enormous interest... my iTunes has been matching for >20-hours and has yet to reach half-way up my library. BTW: I thought I read the iTunes Match info fairly thoroughly prior to subscribing and did not see anything about it being for songs vrs full library.
    And secondly, and even more important to me, is that Apple's method of determining duplicate songs is not robust enough, especially for classical music and audio books (e.g., LoTR). I have >12000 "songs" in my library, and Match has determined a boatload are duplicates. They are not of course and even if Apple's duplicate-determining algorithm just looked at disc & track numbers it would "know" that. Anyway, there's a fairly good chance I will not have one complete album upload/match out of >500 albums. That's nae Scottish, in anybody's book.
    Gotta say, using Garage Band to individually alter >2000 "songs" on the off-chance that may assist Apple's duplicate algorithm to be correct is not gonna happen. If, after the matching/uploading is complete, I still have >even 100-not-duplicate-songs listed as duplicates, I'm getting my $29.95 subscription back.
    ... and C: does anybody know why Apple's Lion spell check doesn't work on Apple's discussion forums???

  • How can I force iTunes to make a new time-stamped bacukp?

    How can I force iTunes to make a new time-stamped bacukp which it won`t replace with a next one? I would like to backup my iPhone as it is and erase some stuff from it now but also I want to be able to get it back in the future.
    Thanks

    Don't think you can.  Your best bet is to copy the backup you want to keep to a different location to prevent it from being overwritten.  You can later return it to it's original location and iTunes will recognize it and make it available to restore from.  Your backup(s) will be located at one of the following locations:
    Mac OS: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup
    Windows XP: %AppData%\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup
    Windows Vista: %AppData%\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup
    Windows 7: %AppData%\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup

  • HT204406 How can I reset iTunes Match to my original version, before it was corrupted by iMatch?

    How can I reset iTunes Match to my original version, before it was corrupted by iTunes Match? I have a extensive library I developed over years and it has been totally destroyed by iTunes Match and I have not been able to rectify it, no matter what.

    Hallo Jim, thanks for the response.
    I have a library of around 9000 songs, about 40 playlists and all albums sorted etc. It was originally kept on a Windows 7 based system. After linking the entire library on iTunes Matc (which took forever), all was fine for a while, then suddenly double playlists start apearing, songs disapeard form playlists and I started to loose all my settings!
    In a last attempt to solve my problems, I purchased a Mac to use at home with all the other Apple devices. (Appletv, iPads etc) Unfortunatelly despite numerous attempts I have not been able to copy the library over to the MAC, as I keep on loosing half of the data. I tried iTunes Match, but this made things even worse.
    Reading several forums and tutorials and trying everything, simply helped me to recover an older version of the Library by copieng a pervious version and replacing the current .itl file. (on the Windows based system)
    So, I now have a fairly updated and complete iTunes Library on my Windows based computer at work, but all my other devices and MAC at home have skeleton versions of the original Library.
    I have disabled iTune Match on all sytems as well as Genius , as this seams to be escalating the problems by creating multiple versions of my existing playlists, but none that are complete.
    If you have advice for me, or can refer me to a detailed and accurate tutorial, I will be very grateful.
    Thank you,
    Hennie

  • How can I force iTunes to sync with an specific folder?

    I have all my music in an external drive, but anytime I start iTunes, it go to the folder created in the HDD. How can I make iTunes to sync with the folder in the external hard drive?

    You cannot sync the two devices over WiFi at all. You can turn on automatic downloads on both devices in Settings>iTunes & App Stores>Automatic Downloads>Apps>On, whatever you download on one device will download to other device as well.

  • How can I force iTunes to skip uploading some files to iCloud?

    I have a *lot* of college level courses from The Great Courses in iTunes.  I have no need of having them in iCloud.  How do I force iTunes to NOT upload these files?  I only need my music in iCloud and not these lectures.  Besides, The Great Courses has an iOS app that already lets me stream these if I choose. So there is no need for them to be uploaded into iCloud.
    Linda

    Thank you. Actually they are uploading. I had purchased the CD's.  Each lecture is divided into 6 files on the CD's.  I used "Join Together" and Quicktime and joined all of the tracks together for 1 file per lecture.  Those don't exist, as I have them, in iCloud.  So, iTunes is in fact uploading all of these files.
    The link you provided was for hiding purchases.  These were not purchased through Apple.
    So, the question remains.  Is there a way to prevent iTunes from uploading certain files into iCloud?
    Thanks,
    Linda

  • How can I get iTunes Store to properly function on my windows 7 laptop? I have tried numerous things such as the MDos Promt, checked for firewall, checked for applications allowing iTunes to not be affected by anything. "Can't connect to network"

    How can I get my iTunes to function properly. It stopped working a couple of days ago and I can't figure how to get back and running. I have tried numerous things such as rebooting, checking for the network connection, applying it to open without security measures. Error message "Your connection time out. Check your connection." Even though I can get into the internet, iTunes is still not responding! Technical support help isn't helping!

    Just to close out ... the 'supervisor' was clueless as it turns out.  Apple does NOT have a deal with UPS on handling the Mini, so the person who gave me the info was wrong.  Did he call back?  No ... he just let me go out and find out myself.
    So I called again, and this time eventually ended up with a manager, who told me that the UPS Store thing wouldn't work, but that a box would arrive and then there would be a 'forced replacement'.
    About 10 minutes later he called back and said he discovered that EVERYTHING the supervisor did was wrong ... he didn't actually properly flag for auto-replace, so I would have gone through an identical cycle again!  So he had to restart the whole process, meaning I would get TWO 'coffins', but that I would then get an auto-replacement and would see that indicated in my support email.
    I got the email, saw 'auto-replace'.  Got the box on the 28th and immediately turned it around.  Apple got the box on the 31st, and on the 1st I got emails that my Mini would arrive on the 2nd and it also had the new serial #.
    Yesterday I grab the box from FedEx and go home to check it out.  As expected, it IMMEDIATELY worked on my WiFi without issue ... and has worked perfectly since.
    So ...
    - it was NOT my home network.
    - it WAS a hardware issue with the Mini
    - Apple does NOT do proper testing on the Mini to detect what appears to be a fairly common issue.
    - non-retail customers ARE treated as second-class by support.
    This issue took FOUR WEEKS to resolve, involved FOUR shipments back & forth, and the ONLY reason it got resolved was that *I* did the troubleshooting that Apple either would not or could not do.
    For someone who has been an Apple customer for more than 30 years, this has been a sobering experience ... I quite frankly expected much better from them.
