HT1848 Why does iTunes download what I've transfered already

After downloading a movie on my iPad, transferring to iTunes properly, the dang iTunes app still tries to download the entire purchase again! I have a very
limited bandwidth cap, and can't have this happen. ITunes 11. Annoyed I am.

Hello cebick,
Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities. It sounds like you would like to disable showing the music that is not downloaded to your phone. You can easily do this by turning off “Show All: Music” in your settings:
iCloud and iTunes Match - iPhone
http://help.apple.com/iphone/8/#/iphb8d9fd5a6
View only music that’s downloaded. Go to Settings > iTunes & App Store. Under Show All, turn off Music.
Cheers,
Matt M.

Why does iTunes download Optimizer Pro and MyPCBackup?

And what the heck is PlusHD shopping??? I don't want to download this stuff when downloading iTunes!!

Download iTunes from here http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
If that still installs that software, your computer has malware.

Why does itunes download already deleted apps from icloud?

Here is the order: I downloaded an app on my iphone using 3G. I delete the app from my phone. A few days pass by. I am in an area with WIFI. Both my phone and computer are on WIFI. iTunes automatically starts downloading everything I have on my phone that was not there during the last sync. I want it to do this.
Here's the problem: itunes is downloading apps I already deleted from my phone. How can I stop this? Does icloud not register that I don't have the app on my phone anymore?

If you truly want it gone, you need to delete it from iTunes/iCloud as well as the iPhone.
There is no setting for individual apps. If you don't want any apps to sync, there is a check box under the app listing in your iPhone's Apps tab in iTunes. Not sure if/where it is in iCloud.

Why does itune download delete my disc drive

when i download itunes soft wear for my ipod nano it appears to delete my disc drive. then i reinstall my disc drive and it deletes parts of the itunes software. then i reinstall itunes and around and around in circles i go depending on which program i want to use. surely there must be a way of having both my disc drive available when i want to listen to a CD that is not in my library or watch a DVD and still have a fully working itunes for storing music, syncing to my nano and burning CD's? can anyone help.

I just started using iTunes acouple weeks ago after I purchased my first iPod. My computer was behaving fine up until I installed iTunes. After the install and a reboot, I could not burn any CD's nor load any music via my DVD/CD Drive. ??? What happened? I right clicked on "My Computer" and the Drive had disappeared from there also. I contacted Dell (under warranty), they shipped me out a new DVD-CD/RW Drive. Same problem, the Drivers for the Drive were in conflict with something(?). Just last night, after 5 evenings with tech support from Dell, and UNINSTALLING iTunes 4 different times. The problem is narrowed down to:
iTunes; after uninstalling iTunes, the DVD-CD-RW Drive appears again. But after a restart, it disappears again. When iTunes is installing itself it is changing Registry Files, what the mystery is: What are iTunes Registry Files CONFLICTING WITH?? The conflict appears to be with other Disc Burning Software. I'm going to uninstall some other programs tonight and see if that solves my problem. Such as: ROXIO, Windows Movie Maker, a CD-W Backup Program, etc.... Conflict in Registry files seems be with them.
I had to order an external harddrive to backup my computer and back up iTunes before the iTunes uninstall, because I could not use my DVD-CD/RW Drive, YES you will loose rights to your purchased items if you do not backup!!
sorry this is so long, I've been completely obsessed with this problem for the past 2 weeks

Why does itunes download itunes extras twice for movies

Hi All,
I lost some movies so am having to re download again from the purchased section in itunes.
When i download i have been downloading all three versions of the film, sd, 720p and 1080p.
The problem i have it is downloads itunes extras for every version. The file is smaller in size for the sd which in understandable however the file is the same size for the 720p and 1080p so im guessing i have exactly the same files twice in the library.
Also when i look at my movies collection in itunes in shows the film three times! On one icon i can open either the extras or the film and on the other two icons only the extras. When right clicking on the extras icons it shows a file size on both which make be belive they are both sd versions!
Any help would be apreciated.
Thanks

Anyone?

When I download a long album from ITunes containing like 20-30 tracks, why does ITunes sometimes segregate one track and create a separate album out of it. I can merge the track into the other tracks on a playlist, but I can not merge the 2 albums.

When I download an opera album with lets day 40 songs (tracks). Why does iTunes create one album of tracks lets say 1 through 22, skip 23 and then 24 through 40. Then a separate album with track 23 is created. I can merge them together in a playlist but not as a single album. I go into the info under the file menu for each and make sure the information is the same but they still will not merge.

I'm not sure why this happens, but I found a workaround. Below the album title it will list the artist(s). The issue seems to happen when there are multiple artists. For example, an Album titled "Over the Sea to Skye" has The Chieftains and James Galway as artists. Some tracks (for whatever reason) will list only one of these and result in the playlist showing what appears to be multiple albums. You can click on the artists and it will highlight. Paste in what is appearing on the other "albums" and it will then show as one:
Hope that is somewhat clear enough to help. Doesn't fix whatever the issue is but it is a workaround. For me this is only happening with CD's that I have imported.

why is itunes downloading the latest software twice and leaving my ipod in recovery mode? what happend to the first download?

Does the iPod work fine now?
Maybe:
Restore loop (being prompted to restore again after a restore successfully completes)
Troubleshoot your USB connection. If the issue persists, out-of-date or incorrectly configured third-party security software may be causing this issue. Please follow Troubleshooting security software issues. .
Next try placing in DFU mode and then restoring.

Last, try restoring on another computer.

Why does iTunes think my iPad is a new one?

When I connect my otherwise happy iPad to iTunes, iTunes says "This computer has previously been synced with an iPad or another iOS device" and wants me either to "set up as new iPad" or "restore from the backup of <my iPad name>". Of course it's just the same iPad I've connected, so why does iTunes not recognise it as such?
This happened before, and I know if I select "Restore from the backup of <my iPad name>", it deletes and restores all the apps and media content, but in the process I lose all data e.g. progress in games, data and configurations entered into apps etc.
This is iTunes 10.2.2.12 on Win 7 64-bit, iPad 16GB with iOS 4.3.1.
Any suggestions what I can do? Even if I have to restore from backup, is there a way I can prevent this happening again?

I'm having same problem! I tried the trick of unplugging right after the sync begins and the only thing my iPad does is give me a sync failure message and restarts itself. I plug ipad back in and get same message??? I've emailed iTunes support and they have not been able to help. I tried all the standard stuff like de-authorizing/athorizing, checked that my iPad iOS is the latest version (which it is), latest version of iTunes installed (even uninstalled/reinstalled iTunes). No matter what I try cannot get around this message. I too have tons of app settings/configurations that get lost if I go thru the restore option. I actually tried the restore option out of frustration, lost all of my configurations AND still get the same message - seems like my iPad is caught up in a loop no matter what I try. To make matters worse, my iTunes library got lost as all my songs are showing up with an '!' next to each song (meaning it cannot locate the file). I checked and they are truely missing so when I go to my purchased music all of my purchases show up (all 4000+ of them) however are all listed as 'Downloaded' in the right margin??? My true objective here is to be able to transfer my purchases on my iPad to my iTunes as my iPad is complete as far as all apps/recent purchases. HELP !!! Thanks

Why does Itunes say it can't find the original file for a particular song?

why does Itunes say it can't find the original file for a particular song? and then asks if I want to locate it? I can't access a bunch of old song files. any new cds are available to me in itunes. all others are not accessible. how do i merge the new cd's with the old ones so that all the songs are playable in Itunes. thanks.

Of course, I have backed up to CD and/or external drive.
I'm wondering if you're attempting to maintain your library on your external HDD? If iTunes has been directed to use a location on your external hard drive as your iTunes Music Folder location (you can check this in iTunes > Preferences > Advanced tab) you MUST ensure that the hard drive is connected to the computer and mounted in the Finder prior to launching iTunes. If it isn't, it can cause this error to appear. This is probably one of the most common reasons this error begins to appear.
It seemed my purchased songs were the first to DISAPPEAR and I had to rebuy.(Nice scam in the bug?)
So... why not restore them from your backup? If, for some reason, this wasn't an option, you could have also recovered them from any iPod or iPhone they were currently synced to (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848), or, you can also email iTunes Store support and request a "regrant," which is a once-per-account exception they might be able to offer you and allow you to download missing purchases again.
I am now convinced this a HUGE BUG in 7.7.1. and possibly the previous version or two.
I'm not so sure... I've never run across this particular error (my library is stored on my internal hard drive, but copied to an external for backup purposes with an application other than iTunes or Finder. I don't think Apple will provide acknowledgment to issues experienced only by very small numbers of people... I'm one of those, perhaps foolish, individuals who allows my computer to download updates immediately, rather than waiting for fear of problems, and again, I've never had this error.

Why does my downloaded movie say cannot load movie

Why does my downloaded movie stop 30 minutes in and says cannot load movie?

Probably because you don't have enough available storage space. How much do you have? Check at Settings>General>About>Available

How to Remove “Other” Data from iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch
http://www.igeeksblog.com/how-to-remove-other-data-from-iphone/
With an iOS device, the “Other” space in iTunes is used to store things like documents, settings, caches, and a few other important items. If you sync lots of documents to apps like GoodReader, DropCopy, or anything else that reads external files, your storage use can skyrocket. With iOS 5/6/7, you can see exactly which applications are taking up the most space. Just head to Settings > General > Usage, and tap the button labeled Show All Apps. The storage section will show you the app and how much storage space it is taking up. Tap on the app name to get a description of the additional storage space being used by the app’s documents and data. You can remove the storage-hogging application and all of its data directly from this screen, or manually remove the data by opening the app. Some applications, especially those designed by Apple, will allow you to remove stored data by swiping from left to right on the item to reveal a Delete button.
