How do I stop a previously ordered item from downloading

A long while back I decided to download a few free tv shows. Once they started downloading and I realized it would take hours for all 5 shows to be completed, I paused the dl and deleted the shows from my dl queue. Everything was fine...until I got my iPhone and started using the App Store.
Now...for some reason...whenever I Sync and try to download Apps, those 5 shows want to start downloading all over again. I don't want them but can't get rid of them. I have to pause and delete them every time I want to download an App. It's annoying to say the least.
Isn't there anywhere I can review what I've chosen to download and DELETE it for good?

Sorry, but once they're in the download queue, you can't remove them yourself. Contact the iTunes Store customer support department through the form linked from the bottom of their Download FAQ web page and explain the problem to them. They may be willing to remove the items from your queue for you.
Regards.

How do i stop previously purchased items from downloading repeatedly?

My wife has an Intel Macbook. Whenever she opens iTunes it immediately starts to download her previous purchases, video and audio, equalling some 200+ files. I've tried allowing the files to download, then deleting them and stopping the downloads before they can seriously get going but no matter what I do they start downloading again either later in that session or the next time she starts iTunes. This has happened with the previous two or three versions of iTunes and continues with the current version.
These are all files she's seen/heard and has no intention of ever accessing again. Is there some way to permanently delete them so that we don't have to keep dealing with this issue?
Any assistance would be appreciated.

It turns out that this is not an uncommon problem. After a lot of searching on the net I came across these two solutions. In both you have to allow the entire song, video, etc. to download. Once the download is complete DO NOT sync your device, instead mark every one of the unwanted items as Read or Watched. Now sync your device (the files should not be copied to it) and go back to iTunes to see if the file is automatically deleted (as far as I know this only happens with podcasts). If the file is deleted your problem should be solved but if not select the file(s), hit Command + delete and choose the move to trash option for the file(s).
Restart iTunes and check to see if the same file is downloading again. If not, you should be okay but if it is then you're trying the second method.
Allow the file to download and do everything as in the first method except when it comes to deleting the file(s) navigate to your iTunes folder where the file is stored and physically delete it from there. Restart iTunes and see what happens.
I can't really speak for how well the second method works as the first method worked for me but I wanted to give both options in case it didn't work for someone else.

How do you delete more than one item from download folder at a time?

I have been trying to clean out my downloads folder which has gotten too full. Mostly audiobooks which are now in iTunes and photographs that I have received from family and friends. I can drag them one at a time into the trash, but was hoping there is a faster way. If not, I will do this slowly. My understanding is that if the file is saved somewhere else, deleting it from the downloads folder doesn't delete it from my mac, right?
Thanks,
Laverne's Mom

One more question, am I correct in assuming that if I delete something from the downloads folder, even an application I have downloaded (I have a program that converts photos to cross stitch patterns and I don't want to delete it) that the application will not be deleted from my computer?
Laverne's Mom
That is probably a correct assumption. However it's always a good idea to double check before trashing something. Let's use the App (that's what programs are called on Macs) for cross stitch patterns. Check the Applications folder and if you see the app there it's fine to trash it from your downloads folder. Even if you goof once it's in the trash you can get it out of the trash assuming you haven't emptied the trash. Open the trash folder, right click the item and select Put Back. If you are not using Snow Leopard (10.6.x) then you can drag the item back to where it was originally.

the item has already downloaded but a 'ghost' download keeps trying but fails to download.
annoying!

Hello Hockeygurl12
If you are having an issue with your purchase, you should be able to go to the iTunes Store app, tap on More and then Downloads. Then you should be able to swipe from right to left to delete it. Then you can try to download it again from the Music app. If you are still unable to download your track, the report the issue to the iTunes Store.

How do i stop getting my wives contacts from her iPhone on mine??

How do i stop getting my wifes contacts from her iphone on mine?
Also how do you sync notes from imac to iphone??

For the Notes issue, on the iMac go to Apple Menu > System Preferences > iCloud and insure Notes is one of the items checked.
The following is a previous discussion on setting up a separate Apple ID for using iCloud but still sharing the same iTunes if desired: https://discussions.apple.com/message/23204265#23204265

HT1399 How can I stop my MacBook's iTunes from asking if I want to delete tracks each time I press to play one?

How can I stop my MacBook's iTunes from asking if I want to delete tracks each time I press to play one? Is it a bug from iTunes's version 11.0.5?
Since I dowloaded and installed iTunes' version 11.0.5 on my MacBook, it is behaving strangely:
- displaying an alert message asing if I want to delete tracks each time I press to play one
- not playing tracks in the order they're displayed in my library, sometimes jumping from one playlist to the other
I did check my settings and preferences for playing tracks and tried changing some parameters in them, however it still doesn't help.
It seems to be a bug in iTunes' version 11.0.5 — if you had a similar experience and found how to solve this discomfort, thanks for contacting me.

Oui, je parle français. En fait, il semble qu'Apple ait résolu le problème auquel j'étais confronté car ce problème a disparu suite à la mise à jour logicielle d'après (désormais sous Mavericks).
(It seems Apple solved the problem I was facing since this problem disappeared after I updated my software to/under Mavericks).

How do i stop the rainbow coloured circle from appearing especially when using IPhoto?

how do i stop the rainbow coloured circle from appearing especially when using IPhoto?

Back up all data immediately as your boot drive may be failing.
If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
syslog -k Sender kernel -k Message CReq 'Channel t|GPU D|I/O|Previous Sh' | tail | open -ef
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C).
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V).
The command may take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear.
A TextEdit window will open with the output of the command. If the command produced no output, the window will be empty. Post the contents of the TextEdit window (not the Terminal window), if any — the text, please, not a screenshot. The title of the window doesn't matter, and you don't need to post that.

How do I stop my wife's iPhone from importing her photos to my iPhoto account on my laptop?

How do I stop my wife's iPhone from importing her photos to my iPhoto account on my laptop?
I set it up to do this a couple years ago but I forgot exactly how I did it. Now I need to know how to stop it.
What version of iPhoto? v9.6
Of the OS? 10.10.1
How are you importing photos? The photos (camera roll) from my wife's iPhone 5 syncs via wifi to my iPhoto account on the the laptop. This happens when she logs on to the laptop. We do not use the same Apple ID.
Like I said, I did this a couple years ago. I totally forgot how I did it and what method (iTunes settings?, Mac settings?, iPhone setting?) I utilized.
I was over at the forum which deals with iPhoto but they feel it is an iCloud issue.

Understood.

I have downloaded an app which I think is to large to my IPAD as it has read loading for hours now. How do I stop it and clear it from the pad. I have tried the normal holding down the icon but nothing happens?

I have downloaded an app which I think is to large as it has jammed. The icon just reads loading. How can I stop it and clear it from my pad????

Have you tried a reset to see if it resumes after the iPad has restarted ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

You could create the new Apple ID for her and keep the existing one for you.
If you need/want to keep the same ID, perhaps this article will help: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5538

How can i remove the previous icloud acount from my iphone4?

I recently purchased a second hand iphone4 not jailbroken and i already restored it to factory settings but i can't log in to icloud using my account because it states that "The maximum number of free accounts have been activated on this iPhone". How can i remove the previous icloud acount from my iphone4? Hope someone could help me on this. Cheers! :)

Hi,
My dad gave me his old iphone as he got an upgrade. I can't seem to change his icloud account to mine. I'm getting his updated calender and his mail - and there seems to be some confusion between both our accounts. He seems to be acquiring some of my contacts - some of which have names which have led to some probing questions... So basically this needs to be sorted out! How can i delete his account from the iphone but not his whole icloud account? he would not be happy if i did this...

How can I add my previous icloud storage from my old iTunes ID to my new icloud account

how can I add my previous icloud storage from my old iTunes ID to my new icloud account,

"So, is it possible to sync/merge/move/share those purchased apps from the old apple-ID to a new apple-ID?"
No.
Sorry.
Apps will always be tied to the account from which they were purchased, and will always have to be updated using that account.
