HT4915 My iPod touch will not let me turn off automatic downloads and match is clogging up everything will downloads that I don't want. Help!

After getting the match program my iPod is trying to download my entire library from the cloud. I have too much music and not enough space so it is constantly running trying to download and I haven't figured out a way to stop the downloads so that I can get what I want. When trying to deselect the automatic downloads it slides back to on. Is there a way to stop this madness? I can't even listen to what music I do have on it.

Having automatic downloads on does not cause iTunes Match to automatically download your Match library to your device.  It only causes new purchases made on another device with the same ID to automatically download to your device.
Try turning off iTunes Match on your device, then turn it back on.  If it's still downloading unwanted media, go to Settings>iTunes & App Store, tap your ID, sign out, then sign back in.

    Hello aweirandyski.1975,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    From what you're describing appears to be Activation Lock, a security measure provided by Apple that makes it harder for people to use a lost or stolen device.  You will need to enter the password for the Apple ID the device is prompting you for.

  • HT204534 I activated filevault 4 days ago and it has rendered my macbook pro unworkable. There is no estimated time showing in firevault, it seems stuck in the same place. It will not let me turn off firevault in Sec&P or CMD+R

    OS X YOSEMITE 10.10.1. 13inch late 2011 2.4 GHz DDR3  500 gig
    AFter installing Yosemite and enabling Firevault my machine has become so slow it is unusable whilst encrypting is in progress. 
    It will not let me turn it off.
    THe estimated time remaining has never revealed itself ... it has been encrypting now for 4 days and the guider has not moved from its one quarter position.
    IT will not allow me to turn it off via CMD+R
    I am absolutely stuck.
    HELP!
    I have removed the power save options and keep the computer on all the time now with the Firevault screen visible .. nothing speeds it up.
    I regret enabling Firevault .. but it is so unforgiving for the uninformed ... like me.

    Back up all data before proceeding. There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
    Start up in Recovery mode. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select Disk Utility. In the Disk Utility window, select the icon of the startup volume from the list on the left. Then, from the menu bar, select
              File ▹ Turn Off Encryption
    Enter the login password of a user authorized to unlock the volume, or the alternate decryption key that was generated when you activated FileVault.
    You can then restart as usual, if the system is working. Decryption will be completed in the background. It may take several hours, and during that time performance will be reduced.

  • How come iPad will not let me turn on automatic d/l's for Music/Books

    I am trying to turn on Automatic Downloads for Music and Books on my iPad in iOS5.
    It keeps coming up with following error.
    'This device is already associated with Apple ID'.
    It does allow me to turn automatic downloads for Apps.
    So at this point the apps are working using the cloud, but music and books are not.
    How do I get rid of the error.
    When I did purchase new music on my Mac, the iPad did pop up msg saying I d/l'd song and that I should turn  on 'Automatic Downloads' for Music.  But when I try to turn on the error above appears.
    How to fix this?
    Your help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks and I look forward to your reply.

    I think this is something to do with having more than one Apple ID and differing devices, I have one for my Apple Store activity and the rest are associated to my me.com address. I have the same problem on my Ipad 2 as I can't switch on Book sync and it comes up with the same error as you're having.
    I did find this after searching around but I'm no more the wiser why this would be happening.

    If anyone has an easy to follow way to fix this I'd really appreciate it as I am now totally confused.

  • My computer will not let me click the box in iTunes where it says "sync only checked music and videos." So i cant unsync songs that i don't want on my iPod but still want in my iTunes. HELP?!

    These are your options:
    1. Restore the iPhoto library from the most recent backup that predates the issue.
              Advantages: Always works, if library damage is causing the problem and the backup is intact.
              Disadvantages: Impossible if you don't have a backup. All changes made since the backup are lost.
    2. Repair or rebuild the library. Be sure to back it up first.
              Advantages: May solve the problem with no loss of data.
              Disadvantages: May fail. May take a long time if the library is large.
    3. Scavenge the library with a third-party application called "iPhoto Library Manager," which you can find in a web search. From the application's menu bar (not the iPhoto menu bar), select Library ▹ Rebuild.
              Advantages: All images should be preserved.
              Disadvantages: All books, calendars, and slideshows will be lost.

  • I HATE my new MACBOOK PRO, it will not let me open any PDF files and I downloaded the ADOBE READER three freaking times and it keeps saying that all the files are corrupt. I would rather have my 2008 Dell at this point. what is wrong with this thing

    I HATE my new MACBOOK PRO, it will not let me open any PDF files and I downloaded the ADOBE READER three freaking times and it keeps saying that all the files are corrupt or damaged. I would rather have my 2008 Dell at this point. what is wrong with this thing

    Perhaps the PDF files are corrupted.
    Hit the command key and spacebar, a blue Spotlight in the upper right hand corner appears, now type Preview and press return on the Preview program.
    Now you can try opening the PDF's from the file menu and see what's going on.
    If they are corrupted, perhaps they are trojans from your Windows PC or gotten from a bad location online.
    Download the free ClamXav and run a scan on the possibly infected folder.

    my itunes will NOT let me buy any explicit music and i dont know why can anyone help me?

    Either:
    iTunes is trying to protect you from the ugly side of the adult world
    Your parents are trying to protect you from the ugly side of the adult world
    You've turned on the Parental/Content Restrictions by mistake
    Look in iTunes at Edit/Preferences/Parental>Content Restrictions>Restrict explicit content and make sure the tick is not in the checkbox.

    What version of Premiere Elements and on what computer operating system?
    Please review the following that I excerpted from an older post here regarding Adobe's PRE_help comments about Hollywood Effect and mention of
    Red Noir. Does any of the following apply to any of what is happening to you.
    - Whenever I try to add an effect from the Hollywood Looks menu, it brings up a warning that all my previous effects on that clip will be deleted. However it will let me add those same effects *after* applying Hollywood Looks.
    This is because of how the Hollywood Looks are designed to be used. Since these are effect presets (multiple effects in combination) that result in a specific "look"; they are best applied in isolation. If any previous effect is applied and we still allow a Hollywood effect to be applied, we will not be able to see what the effect does clearly. For e.g. if you already have a Gaussian Blur effect applied to your clip, and then we allow you to apply the "Red Noir" Hollywood effect, the fact that the "Reds" in the scenes will be highlighted and the others converted to B/W will not be clearly seen since the content is already blurred out. So any previously applied effects was designed to be removed. This holds good even if you apply a Hollywood look "on top of" another one. The previous one will be replaced. Having said that, you can customize the look further by either tweaking an already applied filter or by adding a newer effect on top. That is the reason you can apply an effect on top of the Hollywood Effects and not vice versa.
    Please review and consider and then we can proceed from there if necessary.
