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?

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 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?

  • Can I transfer music from my iPod touch that was originally burned from CD's or does it only transfer music purchased from Itunes?  My computer crashed and I lost all of my music?

    My computer crashed and I lost all of my music.  I have music still on my Ipod touch but a lot of it was originally burned from CD's onto my computer.  Is there any way to transfer this music back to a new computer or will I need to re-burn each individual CD again to get this onto the new computer?

    - iTunes purchases by:

    - For other music you will need a third-party program like one fo those discussed here:

  • When I transfer my purchases from my phone to computer, the songs show up greyed out with a circle with 2 arrows

    My songs show up on my computer greyed out and won't play with some sort of refresh circle beside them

    So i've found the answer to this by clicking on every menu and setting in the itunes store. It turns out some purchases in the cloud can be hidden probably as the result of an interrupted transfer/sync/backup or a network outage. To unhide purchases 'greyed out ' items , go to the Itunes store (on the PC) click on your account name and select view account. (you'll be prompted for your itunes password) once you are in scroll down to the purchase history section. there should be an option for hidden purchases. click through and click on unhide purchases, redownloadble purchases. any hidden purchases will then show up. click on unhide to reactivate and download. This may only work for purchases in the cloud.
    hope others find this useful.

  • How do i play an audiobook i purchased from itunes on my computer? i cannot get it onto my ipod, how do i play an audiobook i purchased from itunes on my computer? i cannot get it onto my ipod

    I purchased an audiobook from itunes and  i see it in my library but cannot get it onto my ipod nor am i able to listen to it on the computer...any suggestions? obviously i'm a new ipod user lol

    What happens when you try to play it in your iTunes library? Does it appear under the audibooks section?
    Is your iPod configured to sync audiobooks from under its Audiobooks configuration tab?  To find this tab, plug your iPod in and click on it under the Devices section in the left hand pane of iTunes.  This should bring you to the Summary tab.  From there, look for the Audibooks tab and make the appropriate configurations to get it over to your iPod.

  • How can I stop my iTunes Store purchases automatically going onto my iPhone?

    How can I stop my iTunes Store purchases automatically going onto my iPhone?
    I've downloaded several thing, including Christmas songs, but do not want them on my iPhone anymore - but no matter what I do, every time I sync my phone, all my purchases revert back to the old names (purchased names, ie. "The Blue - EP" when I have renamed them to "The Blue") and then come up on my iPhone. Despire finding the song on my phone, swipping it to delete, it'll reappear later on.
    I have also set up that only songs in a created playlist are to be on my iPhone, (these songs are not on it), yet they always appear.
    How can I ensure the downloaded files DO NOT change names and stop going onto my iPhone every time I sync up?
    Thank you.

    It looks like you're trying to play a track bought from the iTunes store (or does it happen with other songs too?). Make sure you are logged in with the account the track was bought with.

  • In Pages 5, Maverick, How do I stop automatic conversation of URLs to hyperlinks and seeing them underlined

    There used to be a preference setting in Pages.  Now it seems gone in Pages 5.   So how do I stop automatic conversation of URLs to hyperlinks and seeing them underlined in text.  Sometimes I want it, but not always.

    The preference setting to turn off links is gone. When you enter content that triggers link detection, a link character style gets applied. Right-click on the link, choose Edit Link from the menu, and then Remove.
    To prevent Pages from automatically detecting links, visit Edit > Substitutions > and deselect Smart Links.

  • HT1473 How do I transfer my purchases from one account to another?

    I had an ipod that broke and had to get a new one. I have a new account and want to transfer my purchases from my old account to my new one. How do I do that? The old Ipod I had that broke is blank. There is nothing on it but I can access my account thru I Tunes and see all the purchases I made. I simply want to take those purchases and transfer them to my new account.

    You can download fresh copies of your past purchases, with no charge.  See the following guide:

    how to transfer Ipad music NOT purchased from Apple to MacBook Air.  Answers found in the Community does not seem to deal with similar questions posted to the Community.

    You can only transfer purchases from iTunes on the iPad into iTunes on your computer. If you bought the music from another source, you need to use the source app to transfer the music, or you need a third party app to transfer the music.
