ITunes 10.3 Automatic download

I installed iTunes 10.3 onto my MBP. I opened up iTunes on my MBP and bought a song. I expected the song to download to my iPhone automatically. It's not there yet. I opened up iTunes on my iPhone, clicked on Purchases, and there was a list of Recently Purchased songs, and this song was listed as purchased but with an iCloud logo. I clicked on it and entered my iTunes password. This forced the download to my iPhone. So much for automatic downloads. Thoughts? Hmm.
(Yes, I know iTunes 10.3 is a Beta.)

Yeah but.. on the 10.3 iTunes page http://www.apple.com/itunes/whats-new/ the disclaimer reads..
"Automatic downloads and downloading of purchase history available in beta now and require iOS 4.3.3 on iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4 (GSM model), iPod touch (3rd and 4th generation), iPad, or iPad 2, or a Mac or PC with iTunes 10.3. Previous purchases may be unavailable if they are no longer in the iTunes Store, App Store, or iBookstore. Music features are available only in the U.S. Download iTunes 10.3 free."

How do i download itunes to a secondary drive on my computer? My C drive is full and that's where itunes wants to automatically download

How can I download Itunes to a secondary drive on my computer? My C drive is full but that's where ITunes wants to automatically download. I can't figure out how to download it to a K drive.

You do not.
iTunes like all programs is installed and only runs on the main drive (C) of the computer.
You can move the media to another drive.
Close iTunes.
Move the ENTIRE iTunes folder from the default location to the desired location.
While holding the SHIFT key, launch iTunes.
When prompted to create a new library or locate existing, choose the option to locate existing.
Point iTunes to the new location.
Then go to Edit > Preferences > Advanced and change the location of the iTunes library there.

Is there any way to get rid of this stupid feature in iTunes for Windows? You've subscribed to a podcast but have more than five unplayed episodes. iTunes will stop automatically downloading newer episodes.

s there any way to get rid of this stupid feature in iTunes for Windows?
You've subscribed to a podcast but have more than five unplayed episodes. iTunes will stop automatically downloading newer episodes. You may get the following message:
iTunes has stopped updating this podcast because you have not listened to any episodes recently. Would you like to resume updating this podcast?
You can click Yes to continue downloading additional episodes. Or you can just listen to any part of any episode and a new episode will download at the next update.

I believe that feature was added in order to reduce wasted costs to the Podcaster.
Podcasts incur costs - that have to be paid for, by someone. That cost will be the cost of hosting the Podcast on a server somewhere and more crucially (with regard to your point), the cost of the Podcast being downloaded to your computer. Every download costs the Podcaster money (typically, charged by bytes downloaded).
If that Podcaster pays for the whole thing personally, obviously they want to keep down any unnecessary cost to themselves. If the Podcaster is earning money for his or her Podcast (typically from advertising within the programme) then obviously, the advertiser only wants to pay for advertisements heard by listeners. So a download, not heard by the downloader, is waste of the Podcaster's money or no payment from the advertiser.
My own experience is that I only have to resume downloading once per programme. I'm usually several episodes behind on two different Podcasts that I follow, but I do not recall having to repeat the resume Podcast after that first time.

Where is the Album Artwork saved that iTunes doesn't automatically download

I recently downloaded iTunes 7 and I love it's ability to show the album/CD art. Some of my CD's art was available on the iTunes store which the program downloaded automatically but the majority of it I had to find manually online. (Just FYI, Amazon Album Art is a fabulous widget to help with this, <www.widget-foundry.com/widgets/amazonart.htm>) Hours and hours later (large MP3 collection) I'm done. Now, as I have the same music library library on my office computer I want to have the art there as well. I copied the Album Artwork folder from my Home>Music>iTunes folder onto the office computer and launched iTunes but the only artwork visible was the artwork that the iTunes program had automatically downloaded. Where is the artwork that I painstakingly copied/pasted into the iTunes at home? Is it kept somewhere other than the Album Artwork folder?
G4 1.25 Dual Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Artwork that you manually add in the manner you describe is embedded inside the music files themselves (i.e. inside the mp3 files are you using).
Therefore if you use those same mp3 files on another computer the artwork will instantly be available.
Power iTunes users [including myself] prefer this approach [embedding artwork] for exactly this reason. I have therefore taken any artwork iTunes 7 downloaded itself and forced it to embed it in to my music.
I also have a suspicion that simply copying the [downloaded] artwork folder to another computer would probably not work since it appears it is using reference numbers in the file names which would be different on a different computer.

Accidentally associated my iphone to the wrong itunes account for automatic downloads. What do I do?

Pretty much explained it in the title. I signed into my dad's iTunes account today to download a quick app that he had already purchased when I accidentally forgot to sign out of his account. Later on, I receive a notification on my iPhone that my iPhone is associated to a different Apple I.D. and that I can transfer over to the account for the automatic downloads feature. I didn't think this through and decided to transfer over, not knowing what I was doing. It said that I have to wait 90 days before I can transfer back over to my own Apple I.D. can someone from Apple please help me!!!

No one from Apple can help you here. This is a user forum. We are all itunes users like you.

ITunes Season Passes automatic downloads no longer supported

I have been informed by Apple Customer Care (case: 267781180) that automatic downloads (including using the 'check for available downloads' menu option) are no longer supported for season passes on the iTunes store. This means you have to manually go to the store and select 'download' for any new episodes of TV shows that you have purchased. We'll still receive the email alert that a new episode is available but we'll have to manually download them. I subscribe to a lot of TV content from the Apple store so this will be a large inconvenience (for example if I am away from home then no new shows will be downloaded for the rest of the family to watch). This is huge backward step. Why?

Help! Nobody? Please help I left and came back and no replies? HELP

ICloud and iTunes, cannot get the check boxes to stay checked under preferences for iTunes to keep automatic downloads for iCloud, how can I fix this?

When using my iPhone and Macbook with iTunes, I cannot get the checkboxes to stay checked in iTunes to use the automatic downloads for iCloud. It is so frustrating. I check box them and hit ok under store preferences for iTunes, and when I go back in, they are unchecked. I am so excited to use iCloud with my iPhone downloads and it is not working, if I can't get it to work with this, I am never going to get it to work for documents. Please help.

Hey man. Did you ever get a solution to this problem? I spent an hour on the phone with AppleCare yesterday, and am going to have to call them back when I get home from work today. It's driving me bonkers!!

im having problems downloading itunes to pc

Are you asking how to download iTunes to your computer, or are you asking if iTunes should open automatically when you plug your iPad to your computer?
If it is the later, it will open automatically, if you have checked that in iTunes settings. This link will tell you how to set it up in iTunes: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3927

ITunes 10.3 Automatic downloads

So I opened the iTunes store (10.3) on my Mac and went to Books (you can now download iBooks directly on the computer).
On my iPad (iOS 4.3.3) I don''t have Automatic downloads enabled.
When I got a book from iTunes, a message popped up on the iPad.
Just thought that was pretty cool...

I guess big brother is watching.
What they really meant was, You downloaded a book with your computer.
And the second sentence could have said, Tap Settings > Store to turn on auto...
But it is pretty cool.

Why don't the changes to my playlists and new songs (except the ones I buy from the iTunes store that automatically download onto my iPod) always sync to my iPod Touch 4th Generation?

I haven't yet tried it in iTunes 10.5.3 (I'm downloading it right now), but I don't expect that Apple has fixed the problem, if there is one. I have it set to automatically sync my music and sometimes it will work, usually when I make large changes. To overcome this, I have to unselect the (a?) playlist from the music sync for my iPod, sync it, reselect the playlist, and sync it again. It's very annoying to me. This problem exists whether I sync it with a cord or wirelessly. I have it set to backup on my computer (last generation MacBook (2010), base model, OS X 10.7.2).

I would like to know what to do so that when I plug-in my Ipod it doesn't say that erase and sink because i'm on a diffrent computer than my main computer. So what I want to know is how to select specific songs to put on my ipod and not update the WHOLE ipod I just want certain songs to add to my list. I have itunes 7.02 and i know that itunes 6 can do that but what do I do since I have 7.02?????

Have a look at this article in the Apple Knowledge Base.

How do I stop iTunes automatically downloading tunes onto my iPad each time I play them from iCloud?

I am a new iPad user (IOS 7.0.2) but have used iTunes for many years on both an iPod and a PC. My iTunes library is in iCloud and I have also been using AirPlay to play music from my PC through my HiFi system with no problems. Now I have the iPad I can play music directly on it, and also use it to initiate playback through my audio system, as before. The problem is that whenever I use my iPad to do this iTunes (Match?) automatically downloads both purchased and pre-owned music onto the iPad, which I do not want to happen. Is there any way of stopping this happening? Also, like others I am finding the process of removing unwanted music from my iPad a real pain.

Following discussions with Apple Support I now understand that iTunes / Match is not a streaming service in the strict sense in the iOS environment, and that in that music is always downloaded to the device when songs are played from iCloud. Furthermore, I now know also how to delete unwanted music stuff downloaded to my iPad: Settings -> General -> Usage -> Music -> Edit -> 'Red blob' on LHS -> Swipe from RHS -> Delete. Problem solved.

ITunes sign in for Automatic Downloads

Does anyone know how to keep this from popping up. Everytime I open iTunes I have to cancel this twice and it does not matter if I sign in. I have looked all over and I cannot find any place where I can stop this from happening. Am I stuck with this? It started happening after I installed Lion.

I have this same problem and it drives me crazy. I've posted a topic about this, with no replies. In my case I'm pretty sure it's because in iTunes Preferences/Store/Automatic Downloads, I have Music-Apps-Books checked.
But this is what happens to me everytime I open iTunes:
Automatic Downloads password window pops up / I put in password
Immediately again, password window pops up / I put in password
Now I'm fine until I close iTunes and open again
If I don't feel like putting my password in two times and cancel, if you cancel the window 3 times, it goes away.
What I don't understand:
Why isn't the Automatic Downloads password stored in Keychain
Why does it ask for the password two times

ITunes is repeatedly asking me to 'Sign In To Use This Computer for Automatic Downloads'. How do I fix this?

I am running OS X Yosemite 10.10.1 and using iTunes v. 12.0.1.26. Whenever I open iTunes after initially asking for my password ('Sign-in Required'), it repeatedly asks me to 'Sign In To Use This Computer for Automatic Downloads'. No matter how many times I enter the correct password it keeps popping up until I hit cancel at least 4 times. Additionally, now when I attempt to make a purchase in the iTunes store it does the same thing preventing me from purchasing anything. It repeats the 'Sign In to the iTunes Store' log-in prompt and no matter how many times I enter my CORRECT password it will not accept it. Why is iTunes doing this and how can I fix it?
