In my download history, why are downloads occurring that I have not requested?

While using the computer, I noticed downloads were being added to my history. When I checked, they were downloads I had not requested. How can I stop this? I've used up my data allowance in 17 days and I've been away for 8 of them.

Many programs have a setting for them to ''Phone Home'' for information
and updates. Open settings on such program, and choose '''Manual Updating.'''
Web pages download Lots of stuff. Most from their own site. But also
information from other sites.
Please provide examples of what you think is not of your doing.

  • Why are some apps that I bought not on my purchased items on my itunes account?

    Why are some apps that I bought not on my purchased items on my itunes account?  I bought 4 apps, then had to reset my iPad, later when trying to download them back onto the iPad, they were not listed under by Purchased apps in my account in iTunes.  Thanks for any help!

    Plug in your iPhone to iTunes on your Computer, let it sync the games onto the Computer, then plug in your iPad and go to Apps in iTunes and select the apps then apply and it will download them to the iPad :)
    If you have trouble when in Apps in iTunes on your Computer, it will say iPhone and iPod touch Apps. Hope this helps!!

  • HT202020 Why are certain videos that I have taken with my iPhone 4 not supported by Aperture.

    Why are certain videos that I have taken with my iPhone not supported by Aperture?  That's weird.  I expect that since both iPhone and Aperture are Apple products, file support should be seamless between the two. 
    Also, iPhone 4 does not appear as Camera Model in the metadata of the unsupported video file in Aperture .  But other videos I have taken with the same iPhone 4 appear in Aperture and the Camera Model appears correctly.  Why is that?

    Have you done some cleaning and cleared caches on your Mac? Maybe the  com.apple.xpchelper.cache file is missing. Check the folder /System/Library/Caches/
    Re: Import video to Aperture library on Mountain Lion https://discussions.apple.com/message/19304702#19304702
    If this file should be missing, you need to restore it from a backup or reinstall it by reinstalling your system.

  • WHY ARE SECURITY QUESTIONS ,THAT I HAVE NEVER BEEN ASKED BEFORE,NEEDED TO DOWNLOAD CONTENT FROM ITUNES ?

    IV'E TRIED THIS EVENING TO DOWNLOAD A SONG FROM ITUNES AND SECURITY QUESTIONS THAT I HAVE NEVER BEEN ASKED BEFORE ARE NEEDED TO COMPLETE THE DOWNLOAD. WHY?

    The security questions have been added to provide additional security for iTunes Store accounts. You will need to set up the questions and answers now, and provide those answers from time to time.

    Forum Tip: It is generally considered inappropriate to type all in uppercase letters in Internet discussions, as text that is typed all in uppercase is by convention considered to be shouting.  Uppercase is also more difficult to read, so please use all uppercase sparingly and only when you really mean to shout, which we hope you won’t need to do here .

  • Why are ical appointments repeated monthly when not requested?

    The iCal application on one of my machines has begun posting appointments to the months prior to and following the date for which the appointment has been entered. In addition, if I tab backward from April nothing happens. Tabbing backward again takes me to February, from which I can tab forward to March.

    Hi, not sure, but it sounds like maybe one of these files is dinged...
    /Users/YourUserMame/Library/Calendars/[BigLongNumber].calendar/Info.plist
    Then again with the tabbing thing, there may be deeper problems.
    Have you tried deleting that entry & making a new one?

  • I have 100's of CDs that I have downloaded to my itunes library and they are in the library playable but they do not show up in the C drive under the iTunes Music folder under users.  Why are they in the libary and not in the itunes music folder. Win 7 OS

    I have 100's of CDs that I have downloaded to my itunes library and they are in the library playable but they do not show up in the C drive under the iTunes Music folder under users.  Why are they in the libary and not in the itunes music folder. Win 7 OS.  When I look in the library under the get info screen it says they are in the folder itunes music, under the c: drive but when I actually go to that folder to look for them they are not there....HELP!

    Hello RumDog,
    I think this article will help you find the media in your library.
    Where are my iTunes files located?
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1391
    Discovering and changing the iTunes Media folder location
    Note: You would usually only change the iTunes Media folder location to share music between accounts on the same computer. See this article for specific steps on how to accomplish this. Also, see this article if you want to know how to move your music to a new computer.
    Mac OS X: Click the iTunes menu and choose Preferences.
    Windows: Click the Edit menu and choose Preferences.
    Click the Advanced pane. iTunes displays the location of your iTunes Media folder.
    You can then:
    Note where your media folder is, such as for backing up your media.
    Use the Reset button to reset it's location to the default (which is the iTunes folder).
    Click the Change button to select a folder for a new location. Once you change this location:
    If you make a new or alternate iTunes library, the new location will be used by that library.
    Existing files will not be moved unless you choose File > Library > Organize library and choose the option to "Consolidate files."

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ If you’re running Mac OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the page that opens.
    Select "/var/log/install.log" from the file list. Post the messages from the last installation attempt, starting from the time when you launched the Installer or Software Update. Post the log text, please, not a screenshot.
    If there are runs of runs of repeated messages, please post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message.

  • Since installing 10.7.3 my downloads say that I do not have enough space on my computer for the download. These downloads are never more that 200 megs or so and I have 270 Gigs left on my hard drive. What can I do to fix this?

    Since installing 10.7.3 my downloads say that I do not have enough space on my computer for the download. These downloads are never more that 200 megs or so and I have 270 gigs left on my hard drive. Somehow the remaining space on my hard drive is not being correctly read. What can I do to fix this? I have run permissions repair several times, but to no avail.

    Th downloads do not finish. I am dowloading to a file on my desktop called MUSIC, but it first starts to download to my desktop and then I move it to the MUSIC file also on my desktop and I have been doing this without incident using 10.7.2 as well as 10.7.1 and 10.7.

  • TS3297 I downloaded songs that now will not play completely on my ipod

    I downloaded songs that now will not play completely on my touch.  There were no error messages, and I see them fine on my touch.  They get to a certain point in the song and jump to the next song.

    Do they play ok on your computer's iTunes ? If they do then try deleting them from your iPod and then re-sync them back to it.
    If they also don't play on your computer's iTunes, then depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then try deleting the incomplete tracks from your iTunes library and redownload 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.
    If you aren't in a country where you can re-download music or if they re-download in the same state then try the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via Store > View My Account and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find those songs and use the 'Report a Problem' link.

  • HT201272 Before backing up my old iphone4 I traded it in for an iphone5. All of the apps I purchased I had no problem retrieving from itunes with no charge but I can't download music that I have already paid for that was not backed up w/out paying again.

    Before backing up my old iphone4 I traded it in for an iphone5. All of the apps I purchased had no problem downloading to my new phone from itunes with no charge, but I can't download music that I have already paid for that was not backed up w/out paying again. How can I get these songs to my new phone without having to buy them again?

    Whether you can re-download music depends upon what country that you are in (and whether it remains in the store). If you don't have a Music section in the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app on your phone for re-downloading it, then do you not have you library on your computer's iTunes or on your backup of your downloads ? If not then you could try contacting iTunes Support and see if they will grant you a re-download
