How do I disable automatic TV shows download from Apple TV to my iTunes library on my PC?

How do I disable automatic TV shows download from Apple TV to my iTunes library on my PC? This is really annoying as I am not able to sync my main music and photo library after my appleTV dowloads 84 GB of TV shows, which my PC is unable to accomodate anyway. Any advise?

I have a very similar problem in that purchases I make on the ATV are shuttled off to my computer even before I have a chance to watch them. Nothing remains on the AppleTV except (strangely) a show I bought from iTunes months before I ever got the ATV. In order to watch anything, I have to either leave my computer turned off between the time I order and watch it; or I have to have my computer on in order to stream the show back to the ATV. I like the idea of syncing with the computer as a backup solution, but the ATV should be designed to prefer to keep unwatched material on its hard drive until some threshold storage level has been reached, and then it should move off older shows to make room for newer ones.

How do I find music I downloaded from a cd on my iTunes library?

So about 2 years ago I downloaded a CD onto on my iTunes and iPad from my computer. I recently got an iPhone and after I logged into icloud, all my music showed up except for the songs on the CD. I went on my laptop and went to my music library and the music did not appear there. Not sure if this is important but I don't have the computer anymore that I downloaded the CD on. How do I get the music back?

Unless you subscribe to iTunes Match you should not expect media ripped on one computer to be available on another unless you actively migrate your library to the new computer. If it is still on the iPad you may be able to recover it using one of the tools listed in Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device, or you can re-rip the CD (if you've sold or given it away you should no longer keep a copy of the tracks), or you can buy it again.

How to add new songs to ipod shuffle from different computer with different itune library without change old songs on ipod?

Hello,
I am using ipod shuffle. Now it's having some songs.these songs was synchronised with my old desktop itune library. Now i changed to laptop and downloaded latest itune software. Now i need to add more songs to ipod without change old songs on ipod. How it's possible? Please help.

The way iTunes and iPods are designed is not compatible with what you want to do. The best approach would be to open iTunes on your old desktop, and make a backup of your iTunes library, from which you can copy across all the songs from your old library onto your new laptop - not just the ones that were synced to the shuffle. One place to start for instructions on how to do this: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1364
The other approach is to search online for a utility that will copy songs off an iPod without syncing it, add those songs to your new library, and then erase-and-sync the Shuffle. This way, you only get to save whatever was synced to the Shuffle at the last sync.

How do I disable Automatic TV Show/Movie downloads?

Whenever I purchase an item on my Apple TV, it automatically begins downloading in iTunes. I would really like to not download all those episodes of My Little Pony that my boyfriend bought unless I specifically tell it to, but there's no way to turn off automatic downloading for tv shows or movies, only apps and books and music. This has killed my connectivity repeatedly due to unexpected background bandwidth issues...
:S

Gavin, Hi dude. I have the same problem you have!!! If I download 1 song it puts a cloud next to every song on my Ipod and downloads all of the songs already on the ipod . Some songs I will have 5 or 6 of the same song. I was told by a nice gentle man that I need to change my ios setteing My music has been purchased on my computer and the ios setting is on Automatic downloads . that is why it asks to download the same songs in to my IOS device. Gavin, are you getting your music, games, and tv shows off of your computer? The nice gentleman told me my IOS is on Automatic download. And that is why it keeps downloading everything again. What do you think. I remember seeing the IOS device when I set up the ipod at Apple. Thanks , sherry

How do I stop automatic transfer of purchases from Apple tv to computer?

I bought the 160 gig Apple tv so I could spare my macbook from iTunes content (The MB has a small harddrive). I unchecked the "sync TV show" option in iTunes (under the Apple tv). The problem is that my Apple tv keeps transferring my purchases back to my computer. The 80 gig macbook harddrive is not comfortable with the size of those shows.
How can you turn that opion off?

HT1491 How can i put the song i downloaded from my phone to my iTunes?

I downloaded a song from my iTunes on my iPhone 4, and its on my playlist of my phone but i want to upload it on my laptop, i don't know how and i don't know if its possible.

under your Settings - Messages - Receive At (should be your phone number not your email address).

How can i get my pictures and music from my ipod to my itunes library after having to get a new computer where none of my file exist

please help i dont know how to do this and i dont want to loose my pictures or music that is on my ipod and not my computer i had to restore my windows and i lost everything but its still on my ipod touch 8 gb

It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer.
Use this to put everything back.
The music and pic sync is one way - computer to ipod. The exception is itunes purchases.
If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup ( not good) then you can transfer itunes purchases: Without syncing - File>Transfer Purchases
If the pics are pics taken with ipod, then you can import them as you would from any digital camera. otherwise you can e-mail them to yourself.

How do I stop another person using their own Apple ID accessing my Itunes library on a shared computer?

My daughter and I have our own Itunes libraries on a shared computer. However we can access each others libraries by using our own Apple ID. This causes a problem because she was able to access my account and delete some music by mistake. Is their a way that I can ensure no one can access my music?
Thanks

Emma,
If two people have separate libraries on the same computer, it is best to put them into two separate Windows User accounts.
Go to Start > Control Panel > User Accounts > Add User Accounts, and get her set up in a separate user account. Then move all her stuff there and from then on the two of you can operate independently on the same computer.

How do I disable automatic updates?

I am going to have to use Firefox version 28 forever, exposing myself to many security risks in the process, because I do not like the drastic redesign of the interface in version 29 and Mozilla have not included an option to switch to the old interface.
Many support forum posts argue that bringing back the old interface is a 'simple' matter, but it is not. I have spent many hours on two PCs so far, fiddling with the recommended third-party add-ons (e.g. Classic Theme Restorer) in the attempt to get the browser looking the old way again. I can ascertain with confidence that it is NOT possible to get things looking exactly as they did before, and certainly not looking like the particular customized setup I had myself.
I have now re-installed version 28, and intend to continue using it indefinitely. However, automatic updates are still enabled, and Firefox has already tried to update itself to version 29 again. How can I disable automatic updates for good? I have tried some tricks like deleting the update files and then removing the update URL in about:config, but a new update was still downloaded somehow.
How can I nix automatic updates for good?

Hi,
It is true that the Classic Theme Restorer add-on will NOT bring back all of your customized settings/appearance on Firefox 28, but it will help a little It's recommended that you stay on the latest version to receive the latest security fixes and bug patches but you're free to downgrade if you want.
You can set these prefs in <code>about:config</code> to disable automatic updating:<br>
app.update.auto - false<br>
app.update.enabled - false<br>
app.update.silent - false<br>

How do i disable automatic launch of open programs on startup

how do i disable automatic launch of open programs on startup

It's the Resume feature.
When choosing Restart, Sleep or Shutdown there is a checkbox you can uncheck to prevent the apps from launching.
Also in System Preferences > General there is a hard-to-find checkbox under "Number of recent items" you can turn off.
Also, you can hold the shift key to disable resume on a one time basis.
You can turn off Resume globally by going to ~/Library/Saved Application State and deleting that folder.
(note that the User Library is hidden - one way to get there is to go to your Finder "Go" menu hold the option key to choose "Library")
To turn off autosave and versions globally
If you're experiencing slow opening apps or windows since upgrading to ML... as I have... and you don't want your OS to automatically save your TextEdit files, etc. then simply disable Autosave and Versions via Terminal.
If you don't want autosave or resume you can copy & paste this command into Terminal at the prompt...
defaults write -g ApplePersistence -bool no
Press return
Now reboot.
The reverse would be "yes".

How can I disable automatic web translations?

How can I disable automatic web translations? Like when I open up IMDb and see the movie titles automatically translated from English to Croatian?

I had the same problem, then I changed the order of the languages in intl.accept_languages (about:config), so that the list now begins with en.
It's all working properly know, also on imbb in particular.
Cheers,

How can I DISABLE the pop up 'Would you like to copy it to Library', preventing this message from bothering for each and every book, again and again, time after time? (Windows 7 64bit US).

I guess this may be a feature request. Adobe may think this is a good message for every new eBook.
I sure would like to decide about that myself.
Thanks in advance if this will be changed.

Decided to setup the mail for exchange on my N8 so I could see my work emails. Worked like a charm but after a couple of hours decided I didn't like being that contactable so deleted the mailbox.
Now to the problem, during setup I was forced to enable the phone lock and had to pick a 7 digit alphanumeric code. Fair enough I thought and went ahead. When I removed the mailbox however the lock remained in place with the default auto time of 30 minutes. When I checked in Phone management there is no option to disable this lock so I thought I could at least change the default time to something bigger but when you try, it remains at 30 mins. You also can't disable the auto time as it pops up an error message saying can't unlock phone.
Does anyone know if I'm missing something obvious here or is this something which can't be disabled once it's switched on? I've done a soft reset back to factory settings with no luck and the only other thing I can think of is re installing the firmware which seems a bit extreme.
Would like to hope there is some way to have control over this. Can someone help?
Which firmware your N8 having now? You can check firmware by choosing Call, then type *#0000#.
My N8 works fine on security setting and able to define Phone auto lock period, by choosing Menu>Settings>Phone>Phone management>Security settings>Phone and SIM card>Phone auto lock period>User defined>Lock after(minutes)
You will prompt to enter Lock code each time u define auto lock priod or enable/disable auto lock.
Hope this can help you.

Ive had my iPod classic for some time now, and up to now have been using my laptop to sync songs from iTunes. Unfortunatley, the laptop has died and I'm thinking of buying a iPad.....but how do i now get any songs downloaded from iTunes to my iPod?

I've had my iPod classic for some time now, and up to now have been connecting it to my laptop to sync any downloaded tunes from iTunes. Unfortunately, the laptop has died and I'm thinking of buying a iPad.....but how do I now get any songs downloaded from iTunes to my iPod?

If an iPod is set to update automatically it will be associated with a particular library. If you connect that iPod to a different computer or a different library on the same computer you get the the message you are referring to. "The iPod "iPod Name"is linked to another another iTunes music library. Do you want to change the link to this iTunes music library and replace all existing songs and playlists on this iPod with those from this library". To use an iPod on multiple computers you change the update method to "manually manage songs and playlists". You can also use multiple iPods on a single computer so you will be able to connect both of your iPods to your existing iTunes. Connect the new iPod and follow the on screen instructions, iTunes will open and update your iPod.
For info:
The iPod offers three ways to transfer music from your computer. You can select one of the following update modes from the iPod Preferences menu in iTunes (Edit=>Preferences=>'iPod' tab):
1) Automatically update all songs and playlists. This is the default mode, in which your entire music library, including playlists, is automatically synced to your iPod. If the music library on your computer exceeds the iPod storage capacity, you are prompted to select a different update method.
2) Automatically update selected playlists only. With this option, iTunes automatically copies the playlists you have selected to the iPod when you connect it to the computer.
3) Manually manage songs and playlists. You can also choose to transfer music to the iPod manually. This allows you to drag and drop individual songs and playlists from iTunes to the iPod.
