How do I keep movies from automatically downloading to my computer, when purchased from iPad or Apple TV

I purchase movies from Apple TV and from my iPad.  I don't want them to automataically download to my computer because I have limited space on my hard drive. I see in preferences you can choose to automatically download music, books and apps (or not).  I can't find a way to stop movies from automatically downloading.

As A. Hanwell says... However you should still be downloading your purchases at some point for local backups. iTunes in the Cloud is not a backup service, and if the copyright owners of the content choose to remove it from the iTunes Store it will disappear from your purchase history and you will no longer have access to it. The only solution is to backup your purchases locally.

  • How do I prevent a PDF file from automatically downloading to my computer.

    I've tried everything I know to Prevent a PDF file from automatically downloading to my computer. I would like the "Choice" of Read only or Download. HELP!!!

    Google Chrome and I do, indeed, ;have the Adobe Reader/PDF installed. It continues to open to downloads and refuses to give me the option to select whether to download or read only.

  • How do I stop apps from automatically downloading every time I connect to the internet?

    When my iPhone connects to the internet, an average of four apps automatically download on my device. What is causing this issue and how can I stop it?

    I've just got a new iPad, got 8 updates available on app store, after like 5 min there were 4 updates. It was when I realised that it was automatically downloading stuff, so i disabled it from iTunes and App Stores settings as you wrote. The problem is that even though I disabled everything, every time I reconnect this iPad to wi-fi it continues to download because from 4 available updates it went down to 2. And somehow it managed to download GarageBand update, that's 600mb off of my monthly 8gb!! Why does it keep downloading from app store?

  • Having arranged some scanned pictures in an album in I-Photo how can I keep them in the order I have chosen when I move the album. They all have the scan date and not the taken date and move to new positions if I move them from one album to another.

    Having arranged some scanned pictures in an album in I-Photo how can I keep them in the order I have chosen when I move the album. They all have the scan date and not the taken date and move to new positions if I move them from one album to another.
    Is there any way to re-number them in the order I have chosen so that they can then be sorted by number? The scans are all from pre-digital images that I wish to move to a photobook and I don't want to have to organise them twice!
    Thanks for any suggestions.

    I was a bit short, Chris, sorry. It is limited, what can be posted, when typing on an iPad.
    Now I am back on my Mac. I meant the following:  Batch Change the date for a large range of photos, that should have a date stepped in increments.
    Select all Photos at once and use the command "Photos > Batch Change".
    Then set the date for the first photo and select an increment, e.g. one minute.
    Now all photos will get a new date assigned, incremented by one minute, in the sequence you have selected. So you will be able to sort them by date.  This way it will be unnecessary to change the titles or filenames.

    how do i access movies I have downloaded from itunes and permanently erase them from my cloud?

    Hey okapi22,
    Thanks for the question. Assuming you are attempting to clear up iCloud storage, it's important to note that iTunes purchases do not count against this storage. For more information, see the following:
    Your iCloud storage is used for iCloud Backup, app data and documents stored in iCloud, and iCloud Mail (your @icloud.com email account).
    iCloud: iCloud storage and backup overview
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12519
    Additionally, you are not able to delete purchases from iTunes in the Cloud, but you are able to hide them.  Take a look at the following article:
    iTunes Store: Hiding and unhiding purchases
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4919
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

  • How do I prevent apps which I've downloaded to my iphone from automatically downloading to my kids ipod touch

    How do I prevent apps that I've downloaded to my Iphone from automatically downloading to my kids ipod touch.    Also how do I prevent apps which my kid has downloaded to her ipod touch from automatically downloading to my ipad/iphone when I connect to the computer.   I manage all through my same itunes account.

    When you connect a device to ITunes go to the Apps tab for that device and uncheck "Automatically sync new apps". You will have to do this for each device.

  • Prevent .pdf files from automatically downloading in e-mail

    How do you prevent .pdf files from automatically downloading in an e-mail message with an Exchange account?

    Yes, that's a plausible explanation.
    Never having locked a Numbers document, I don't have first hand experience.
    I put my sensitive documents in an encoded disk image file. Less bother. But then, I'm not e-mailing sensitive documents or otherwise exposing them.

  • How do I set up my email account on my iMac OS Yosemite 10.10.2 so that the emails are downloaded to my computer and removed from the ISP server?

    how do I set up my email account on my iMac OS Yosemite 10.10.2 so that the emails are downloaded to my computer and removed from the ISP server?

    When setting up the email using Apple 'Mail' (version 8.2 (2070.6)) I do not get an option to set up my email as using POP.  I can go to Outlook from Microsoft and I get a chance to set my mail up using POP, however I would prefer to use the Apple supplied 'Mail' email programme as I'm using Office 365 and may not want to continue the subscription sometime in the future.
    Any advice on setting Mail to POP would be appreciated.  A not so Happy Wombat.

  • TS1424 I downloaded a song that I purchased from the ITunes store, but the song does not play properly.  How can I re-download the same song without having to purchase it a second time?

    I downloaded a song that I purchased from the ITunes store, but the song does not play properly.  How can I re-download the same song without having to purchase it a second time?

    I could not find an option to "report a problem".
    Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
    Find the item that is not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the entry, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.
    (Not entirely sure what happens after you click that link, but fingers crossed it should be relatively straightforward.)

    How do I download a dvd i have purchased from a source other than itunes to my ipad?

    Commercial DVDs are generally encrypted. In the U.S., it's illegal to break that encryption. Because of that, the Terms of Use of this forum prohibits discussion of software or methods.
    If the DVD is not encrypted, Handbrake is probably the most commonly recommended software.

  • When I download a previous tv show purchase from iCloud it disappears once download is complete. How do I view the show?

    When I Download a previous tv show purchase from iCloud, I can't see where to view it. Help please!

    You don't download or purchase tv shows from icloud.
    If it's a tv show you've downloaded in itunes, after downloading, you should see a "tv shows" entry in the itunes library in the upper left area.  If you don't see that entry, go to itunes menu >> preferences >> general, and make sure there's a check in the box to display it.

  • HT3951 I purchased a movie and it downloaded to my computer but it is not on my ipod and it will not sync manually. It showes upin my purchased list on ipod but not in my videos. HELP THIS IS DRIVING ME CRAZY

    Hello,
    If you have an iPod Touch you can watch movies on it.
    Did you sync the movie with iTunes between your computer and your iPod ?
    Connect iPod touch to a USB 2.0 port on your Mac or PC using the included cable.
    Follow the onscreen instructions in iTunes to set up iPod touch and sync your music, video, photos, and other content.
    Your computer must be connected to the Internet.
    By default, iTunes automatically syncs all songs and videos in your iTunes library to iPod touch. If you have more content in your library than will fit on iPod touch, iTunes alerts you that it can’t sync your content. You’ll need to use iTunes to select some of your songs, videos, and other content to sync.
