How do i stop purchased items form automatically transferring

i've disabled all automatic downloads on both my ios and my comp. when i purchase music i change the bitrate and delete the icloud purchase. however it Still appears Everytime i connect... this is a PITA.. and because i change the bitrate, causes duplicates in my playlists.. i'm stumped. how do i clear the download history or permanently delete the purchases?

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
Automatic Downloads are enabled. To disable it, open Settings > iTunes and App Stores > Automatic Downloads, and turn off the music option on the iPhone, so your music will not be downloaded automatically

    I purchase songs and convert them to mp3 and then delete AAC files so as to not have duplicates which I've done for years since the new update the iphone automatically transfers all the AAC files from the iphone thus creating duplicates I have tried deleting icloud turning off automatic downloads both on itunes and the iphone but everytime I sync my songs are doubled

    It is doing it when I am trying to add contacts, Safari, messages just to name a few...

    When you log out or shut down, there will be a checkbox that asks you if you want to reopen windows when you log in. Just uncheck this box. If that isn't it, you may have login items turned on. Go to System Preferences>Users and Groups and then under your name click the Login Itens tab. Make sure nothing is there.
    If you want to stop windows from restoring when you open applications (so for example when you open Safari it doesn't open the 50 tab page you just had open when you quit) go to SystemPreferences>General and then hit the checkbox that says Close windows when quitting an application.

  • Hi, sorry this is so basic, but how do I stop certain applications starting automatically on startup?

    Is this for a computer model or an iDevice model? If the former you've posted in the wrong forum. But here's the answer.
    Open General preferences in System Preferences. There are two options you can check that affect this behavior:
    Check the boxes you thing you prefer. When you next shutdown the computer you should be asked in a dialog about reopening applications on restart. Select the option to not reopen.

    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.

  • I have a windows pc.  How can I download purchased items which have become corrupted on my PC.  I can't use iCloud

    I have a windows pc.  How can I download purchased items which have become corrupted on my PC.  I can't use iCloud without an Apple device.  I have gone into purchased but next to each title it merely says 'downloaded'.  I need to download them again.  It will cost a fortune to re-purchase the corrupted music!

    I tried that but it just shows 'downloaded'.  There is no little cloud next to that wording.  On an Itunes help page it shows a 'library icon' once you have logged in but that does not appear on my version of ITunes which is 11.1.  I have lost so many peices of music!  Is this some ploy by Apple to get you to buy them all over again??  Thanks for you response, if you can think of anything else I would be most grateful

    You cannot use the iTunes store there any longer just as you can no longer use the food store you used to visit.  Unless you can change your country back to the one you used to use you no longer have access to purchases made there which is why it is important you keep backups of all purchases made there.
    The iTunes Store in a country is intended only for use by that country's residents, and only while they are in the country. To use the iTunes Store in a country you need a credit card (or other card type if acceptable in a country) issued in that country, billed to an address in that country, and also be physically present in that country when using the store.  You are also restricted to waiting 90 days between country changes.
    E.g., "The iTunes Service is available to you only in the United States, its territories, and possessions. You agree not to use or attempt to use the iTunes Service from outside these locations. Apple may use technologies to verify your compliance." - http://www.apple.com/legal/itunes/us/terms.html#SERVICE

    how do i stop my ipad from automatically deleting my hotmail inbox and putting it into pop trash? It has only started doing it since i synced with my MacBook Air

    If emails are being deleted, then it's not the Apple products, it's the POP account.  When one device reads an email, it's removed from the server, so the other devices can't get that same email.  That's a POP account.
