How do i get itunes to download ONLY my purchased music, not movies or tv shows or anything else on my windows machine?

Today, I had to retire my Macbook 17" Pro because it would not do wireless internet anymore.  It is now an expensive dust-gatherer in my storage closet.  I had all my music and movies and tv shows on there, but I wasn't all that worried, the movies and tv shows I'll probably never watch again, but the music was another matter - music that I purchased via iTunes.
"Not to worry," I thought,"It's all in the cloud."
And so it was.  But the problem is that iTunes on my Windows 7 desktop insists on downloading all my 150GB of movies and tv shows that I don't want on there.  I want ONLY the music that I purchased.  Yes, the Windows 7 desktop is authorized, just to get that little matter out of the way.  But I can see nowhere in Edit -> Preferences where I can actually set it NOT to download movies or tv shows, but to allow music to download.  Are there any workarounds for this?
I'd love to just be able to go back to my Macbook Pro, but I have to wait until I hear word from Cupertino that they have not only acknowledged the general problem with Macbook Pro's wireless, but actually have a fix for it.  Sorry, if I sound abrasive, but when something is supposed to "just work" and it doesn't, it does get a bit disconcerting.
Thanks to all for reading this!  :-)

I see there's no answer.
This issue has ****** me off for a long time, and I am fed the **** up with it.
I DO NOT WANT TO DOWNLOAD the Movies and TV shows to every *^&%^$%# Apple device, ONLY the MUSIC!!!
COme on Apple!!!  FIx this!!!

  • How do i get itunes to download on my external, and not my desktop?

    I've been trying to get iTunes to download in my external hard drive instead of on my desktop; but every time I download iTunes it starts downloading automaticly onto the desktop. I don't have enough memory on my desktop to transfer all my music onto their, so how can I get it to download onto the external instead? If anyone could help me with this problem I would really appreceate it.

    Download and install iTunes normally, launch it with the Shift key held down, and create a new library on the external drive.

  • How do I get iTunes to label my Films, Films and not Movies again?

    Having updated my iTunes to the latest version, I now have the label "Movies" again, whereas they were previously labelled "Films" - and I'm sure I did this by selecting 'British English' in Sys Prefs. I've done that, restarted, but I'm still having to watch Movies rather than Films - which is traumatic to say the least!
    Any ideas how to change to Films?
    VMT

    Chris,
    how did you select the language?
    When I open the Language & Text Preferences, and drag "British English" to the top of the list, and close the Preferences again, then restart iTunes, the Movies are called "Films" again.
    Regards,

    If you went without an appointment, then it would make sense that you could be turned away.

  • How can I get itunes to download and install?

    How can I get itunes to download and install?

    You need to install it - just downloading does not necessarily install it. If you double click it, does it open an installer window? Or, can you simply drag it into your Applications folder (if it is not showing in Launchpad)?
    FWIW, your downloads folder is just a temporary "holding" place for your downloads - once you have installed applications or moved other files where they belong, you can empty that folder.
    PS - If this is what you downloaded, it is a disk image (.dmg) which means you need to double click it; you then need to move the icon and install it.
    Out of curiosity: is it working well? I'm curious because it is rather dated software.

  • How do I get iTunes 11 to see ALL my music?

    Upgraded to Windows 8 64 bit System. Only music purchased on itunes is added to library. All imported CDs and music purchased elsewhere does not show up in the library. There is no previous library file saved. How do I get iTunes to see ALL my music?
    APPLE... Please FIX this!

    Do you have a working copy of the library anywhere? The key file is called iTunes Library.itl and normally exists inside <User's Music>\iTunes. This is the file that knows what is in your library and each of the playlists, and holds ratings, play counts etc. Changing the media folder path in preferences tells iTunes where you'd like it to store media in future. It doesn't magically connect iTunes to any media that might already be there, or fix links to media that has been moved, or make it pick up a non-existent library file. If the worst comes to it you will need to import the media into the new empty library.
    See Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device if you have any of these to recover ratings, play stats and playlists, and to associate your device with the new library.

  • How do I get itunes to recognize all of the music in my library. I backed up the library for 24.95 and not all of it went into the backed up library?

    How do you get Itunes to recognize all the music in your library when you buy the backup in the cloud? Alot of my  music was not backed up. These are songs I burned off my CD collection. Itunes Match did not recognize them either?

    *What am I doing wrong?*
    You moved it to the server.
    You should let iTunes do it.
    Point iTunes prefs to the new location.
    Menu Advanced -> Consolidate library.

  • How can I get iTunes to transfer only the HD version???

    Hello,
    Is there a way I can set iTunes to transfer only the HD version of a video to AppleTV, and not include the SD version, while keeping both versions in the iTunes library?
    Currently, both versions are being transferred when I sync.
    Regards.

    The bottom line:
    ..... please detail what you are seeing in your render dialog when the program is doing a
    Timeline rendering of your red lined Timeline content.
    Longer Detail Version:
    Timeline rendering is a preview feature that does not fix anything. All it does is give you an idea of what you have and wants to give you the best possible preview. You do not have to do this type of rendering. The "but" is that this is your window of opportunity to catch a problem sooner than later.
    When the render dialog comes up, what is it actually saying in the render dialog.......
    Rendering __of___Video Previews
    and underneath that
    Rendering frame _____of_______
    How many clips do you have on that Timeline - 10?
    At first I thought you wanted to know how to render just a selected few of the Timeline clips rather than all of them. I can tell you how to do that and
    go into great detail of that. That involves
    a. in the Edit workspace, setting the gray tabs of the Work Area Bar to span just the clips you want rendered
    The above is from Premiere Elements 11, not 7, but the principles are the same with regard to what I mean
    by render indicator line (in your case red instead of orange) and gray tabs of the Work Area Bar, Your
    version does not have a Render button. You could just hit the Enter key of the computer main keyboard if
    you have Timeline content with a red line over it (that means the program is not giving you the best
    possible preview to let you know what you really have). If necessary, I post some screenshots specific to your version (7).
    But, for now, please detail what you are seeing in your render dialog when the program is doing a
    Timeline rendering of your red lined Timeline content.
    Any questions or need clarification, please do not hesitate to let me know.
    Thanks.

  • How can I get Itunes to recognize all of my music

    I've gotten a new computer and have put all of my music stored on an external drive. I have downloaded itunes, changed the directory to find music to the external drive with my music but it still only chooses some songs. Help, please.

    Morning, rozlee.
    Getting our music succesfully from one computer to our new computer is always one of those things we just want to have done. I was able to find the following article which reviews what file formats are compatible with iTunes specifically.
    Adding music and other content to iTunes
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1473#2
    Compare your file formats to the information under "Adding Content on your computer to iTunes":
    Adding content on your computer to iTunes
    iTunes helps you add digital audio and video files on your computer directly to your iTunes library. You can add audio files that are in AAC, MP3, WAV, AIFF, Apple Lossless, or Audible.com (.aa) format. If you have unprotected WMA content, iTunes for Windows can convert these files to one of these formats. You can also add video content in QuickTime or MPEG-4 format to iTunes. To learn how to add these files to iTunes follow the steps below.
    Open iTunes
    From the File menu, choose one of the following choices:
    MacAdd to Library
    Windows
    Add File to Library
    Add Folder to Library
    Navigate to and select the file or folder that you want to add
    Hope this information serves to be useful. Thanks for using Apple Support Communities to find answers to your questions.
    Cheers,
    Pedro D.

  • I would like to save disk space by putting my library on an external disk. How do I get Itunes to relate only to the external library?

    I have  run into problems doing this. Itunes only wants to recognize the library on my hard drive or the music in the cloud. It will not use the externally stored library as active for downloads and for syncing. All these problems make me wonder if Apple is exerting pressure to give up on the classic and buy a touch which will connect to the cloud itself.

  • HT1473 How do I get iTunes to download an entire album in one file versus splitting it into multiple files with the same Album Title?

    I have added several CDs to my iTunes files, several Albums were added in the form of multiple files of the same Album title with random songs listed, but not the entire album in one file.
    I have tried to reassemble the Album into one file, but could not find a way to do so.

    Generally setting a common Album title and Album Artist will fix things.
