I can't fine the "check for available downloads" button anywhere and I want to download an album I preordered

It should be under the Store menu on your computer's iTunes :
If you are using your phone then does it show in the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app on it for downloading ?

How do I prevent Firefox from installing a new version when I click on the "Check for New Version" button? And why does it even do this?

I check for updates manually and this is frustrating because I can't stop it once it starts. There is no "Cancel" button or anything that will stop the update.
"Check for updates" does not mean "Install updates"

OK, I guess that's what I'll do. Thanks.
I do have to say it is kind of ridiculous for them to remove the "There is an update. Do you want to install it?" that every other application uses. Even FF plug-ins use one. Checking for an update should not automatically install it.
That is bad enough, but removing the "Cancel" button during the update download is one for the ages. Whatever happened to "user-friendly"? I guess they know what we need better than we do.

How can I change the settings for being timed out (I don't want to be timed out ever)

I am sorry but this isn't something that you can set. The system has timeouts built into the code.

HT201272 Where can I find the app password saver by yonglin wang. i wanted to restore my iphone and i had purchased this app and it is not anywhere in my purchases to reload. Why is it not on my list of purchases?

Where can I find the app "password Saver" by yonglin wang? while updating my iphone the app was dropped for some reason. I went to reload from my purchased apps and it is not available. The history shows my purchase but I can not find the app to reload. I've lost some critical info and need to retreive if possible. Any suggestions?

You tried what ? If the app is no longer available in the store (can you find it in the main part of the store ?) for re-downloading then you would need to have a copy of it somewhere e.g. on your computer's iTunes, on a backup of your downloads.

The other day I set up my Airport Extreme to share a 3TB hard drive and it show up fine in the Airport Utility App. That day was great I could access it on both my Mac's. Now though I can't fine the hard drive in that same App and have tried to fix it.

I've already tried disconnecting and reconnecting the hard drive to the Airport Extreme, No luck.
I've tried adding it all over again. No luck.
Why did it even loose the settings in the first place?

It sounds like you just have 2 formatted drives (SSD, HDD) that are not configured as a Fusion drive. If so, you have to manually move files from the SSD to the HDD and visa versa.
If your system would have come configured with a Fusion drive (SSD and HDD 'fused' together) then OS X would maintain file movement from the SSD to the HDD without user intervention.
Look here then scroll down to Introducing Fusion Drive for a brief explanation.

HT204291 I can't remember the password for my airport utility speakers and it doesn't offer the option to re-set the password.

To play my I Tunes through my hi fi speakers, Airport utility is asking for a password that I don't know and it doesn't offer the possibility of changing the password. How do I do this?
Thank you,
Yogi Tracy

In order to reset the password on an Airport or Airport Express, you need to do a factory reset on the device. You should be able to find that information in the manual.

How can i change the settings to have a prompt massage when I want to download a duplicate file

When I download a file, if a same file name already exists in the same download folder, firefox downloads the file and renames it by adding numeric (1) to the file name. I want the firebox to give me a prompt when same file already exist, rather than automatically renaming it by adding suffix (1)

This answer is not solve my problem.
If I downloading loads of books in one folder , and if I click to download a book that I downloaded a few minutes before I would like to firefox warn me that I already downloaded this book instead of downloading again the same book and putting on the end (1) or if I download it again (2).
I would like to prevent me from a double download.
In the older version of firefox this was automatically done, and I wandering how can I do it now in the new version.

When i connect my ipad2 to my computer it shows as a camera type connection and can only see the photos that I have on it. I want to download all the songs from my PC but the device is not showing up in itunes.

TV Shows Season Pass New Episodes Gone from Check for Available Downloads

I was informed today from iTunes Support that new episodes that become available will no longer come through the Store > Check for Available Downloads option in iTunes. If you notice in your email alerts for the new episode's availability, it now says the new episode is found in your Purchased items in Itunes in the Cloud.
I was also told that if I checked the options "show iTunes Purchases in the Cloud" in iTunes > Preferences > Store tab, that I could just see the new episodes in my Library under TV Shows. I used to have this option and could access the new episodes and download them this way, but that option is now GONE as well from iTunes. I am awaiting feedback from my Senior Support Rep as to what is wrong there.
I have been simply going to the iTunes Store > Purchased > TV Shows and clicking the "Not on this computer" option in the upper right. I have to go show by show and click "Download" or "Download All". I have almost 15 Season Passes at any one time. This is a completely horrible way of downloading them.
When the new episodes were evailable via the "Check for Available Downloads" Option, I had my iMac scheduled to restart every morning around 4am Central. That was about 2 hours after the date/time stamp of the email notifications. Since iTunes was always set to start at login, it would automatically check for available downloads, and then download all the new episodes. I then had a cloning process scheduled that would clone my primary iTunes Media drive to a backup iTunes Media drive. That way if one fails I always have an up to date copy.
This new method totally screws up how slick this whole process worked. I understand streaming and the cloud is the direction they are taking here, but this is completely an about face. I want the new episodes available locally. I want it downloaded when I am asleep and always available locally when I want to watch. That way I dont have to worry about my internet availability. Storm can knockout my internet. The construction down the road can cut the optical cable. I may loose my internet due to a problem with the ISP. Having the files locally allows me to watch them worry free, buffer free, and when I want to.
I urge those who are annoyed by this change to provide feedback here: http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html
I really hope this decision to remove this functionality is not a sign to come. Next I will be downloading each song one by one when I buy an album because I can just stream it in the cloud.
I love my Apple products and servies. But this totally makes me hate them right now.

I am so angry right now I can not even see straight. So the "Show iTunes Purchases Option" out of the blue showed up in iTunes this morning. I dont know if a reboot fixed it or what. But the attached screen shows the lack of that feature along with the iTunes version.
So I am not freaking crazy. So I turned it on this morning to pick up 3 new episodes. I get home tonigth and sit down on my couch with my Apple TV ready to roll... and it has completely screwed my "watched" vs "unwatched" episodes. I come to my iTunes library on my iMac and sure enough TV Shows and Movies I know I have not watched or started are marked as watched.
I have not watched a single episode of The Following Season 1, and it basically shows I have watched all but the latest 4 shows. I have not watched the last several episodes of Revenge, and it says I have not watched only the last episode. I am guessing as to where I left off, but it looks like Episode 13 was the last episode I watched and iTunes said I had only not watched Episode 19. Vikings Season 1 - I have not watched a single show, but it shows I have watched all but the last 2 episodes, 8 & 9.
Movies - I have bought and downloaded many movies that I have not watched as of yet. For instance: Django Unchainted, and all 3 Matrix Movies. I have watched a couple of the Matrix movies but not all the way through. But I had gone back and marked them as "unwatched" Everything else I had not even touched to hit play or nothing. These are all purchases.
I hunted down all the episodes and movies I knew I had not watched... which took me quite a while... and then when I close and re-open iTunes and at least the watched/unwatched TV shows stayed as I marked them. This was not the case when this feature was first rolled out with iTunes 11. That is exactly why I never used this feature in the first place. Time will tell if it remains stable with the watch/unwatched situation.
Regardless, I am so tired of taking time out of my day and writing iTunes support and giving Apple feedback so they can perhaps look into it and see if its a larger issue than just my library. So they can also maybe realize that some of us actually love their product and want to see them continue to working awesome, slick, and incredible. But as someone who is looking at 8 active season passes.... I may never buy a season pass from iTunes again. The reason why EVERYONE still has a TV antenna and/or cable is because the basic concept of how you watch the programming DOESNT CHANGE. They should take this feedback simply as TV shows are not like Movies and Music. TV shows happen weekly. Having a consistent and repeatable process to get the shows and watch them each week is paramount.
I am usually very good with change and enhancements. But this one.... has completely made me an irate Apple Customer.

Check for Available Downloads... (where are they?)

My daughter has purchased several songs from iTunes using her iPhone and my iTunes account. She never synchs with her Powerbook, so I can't do a Home Share to transfer them to my own, or any of the other computers on our home network. However, according to the iTunes menu, any song bought using our iTunes account should automatically download to my computer. At least that's how I set the preferences.
But it's not working - when I go to the "Check for Available Downloads..." menu it tells me that all my purchases have been downloaded but these new songs are not in my Library. Is iTunes not recognizing that she has purchased them with the same account? (my credit card is certainly being charged using that account) So where are they? How do I get them on our other other computers - and eventually on our respective iPad and iPods?
Any thoughts, instructions or clarifications on how this works, would be appreciated.

Do you have automatic downloads turned 'on' for your account on your computer's iTunes ? If not then you can turn it 'on', but that will only take effect from the next purchase.
Depending upon what country that you are in (it's not possible everywhere) then you might be able to re-download them via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes : re-downloading.

Cannot access "check for available downloads"

So, I can download and play any of the free singles.. and I can purchase singles and download them... but I have 58 items including 36 songs from 2 compilations that I have purchased but that will not download as a group.
Every time I click on "Check for Available Downloads" like iTunes keeps telling me, it says "Unable to check for available downloads. The iTunes store is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later."...
Now, is there something wrong with the Check for Available Downloads option? Why would I be able to get individual songs but not able to get groups of songs or any songs that I had paid for previously and was unable to download at that time?
I have done the firewall disable, i have modified my hosts file, I have upgrades itunes, I have run the diagnostics and everythign works (as evidenced by my ability to get singles with out an issue)...
Anyone else having problems with whole albums and compilations and songs that are currently paid for but not downloaded?
Thanx.
Josh

I am currently having the same issue with some movies - very annoying. I also tried having Apple reset my cue - didn't work Please let me know if you get anything to work

New Build ... Windows Update Never Shows Updates. Checking for Updates just goes round and round

I've got a brand new installation of Server 2008 Standard, full with GUI and I've setup the server with a public IP so I can get to the internet. Even tested getting to Dell Support website.
But when checking for updates the "Checking for updates" just goes round and round. It never stops and shows me what updates are available.
I'm trying to create an image of this build for testing purposes.
I ran into the same issue when I was doing a VM test and only had a private IP. I thought I wasn't able to get to Windows Update using our internal proxy with the private IP. But now there seems to be more of an issue.
I've already setup the Windows Update service the same way we have for 2003 and 2008 ... Automatic and started.
Any suggestions?

Please run the system update readiness tool.

What does "check for available downloads" do?

I bought some movies on my iPad while at work today. I didn't have enough space on the iPad so I checked "later" when the option came up about downloading now or later. When I got home, I saw that iTunes was showing the movie in my library with the cloud icon in the upper right corner, meaning that I own this movie but have not yet downloaded it. I thought clicking on "check for available downloads" from the Store menu would locate the purchased movies and download them, but instead I get the message "all purchases have been downloaded for this apple ID" (see image below). So I had to manually fish through the library and locate the purchased movies and click on the cloud icons to start them downloading.
So if "check for available downloads" doesn't do what it sounds like it should, what is it for?
I have the latest version of iTunes: 11.4.0.18

I thought I'd bump my own thread since it's three months later and iTunes is now at version 12 and the "check for available downloads" still does nothing. I am subscribed to a season pass of American Horror Story and every week I get an email saying that a new episode is available for download. But when I launch iTunes and click on "check for available downloads", nothing happens.
Que sera, sera.

Checking for Available Downloads - ERROR

When going to the "Check for Available Downloads" drop down (because there are pending transactions), I click and wait for my downloads to begin. i get the error "Unable to check for available downloads. The iTunes store is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later".
I am currently fully connected to the iTunes store and searching around on it. I have downloaded the newest version of iTunes and made sure that my credit card information is up to date and loaded properly.
Why does this continue to happen?

I am having the same prob. I have been for a while and i dont know how to fix it. I was hoping I could find an answer here
