ITunes automatically re-downloads deleted music and even music not deleted

Hi folks,
My iTunes has recently started automatically re-downloading music files that I either already have downloaded, or have deleted. Why is this happening and how do I stop it?
Thanks in advance
Paddy

Hi ... same thing for me, for the last week or so iTunes on my MacBookPro has started redownloading apparently 'random' albums again despite songs being present in library ... sometimes it will start redownloading more than 100 tracks, and it moves the old files to the Trash.  Does anyone know what is going on, and why this has 'suddenly' started happening?

  • ITunes automatically checks Manually manage music and videos????

    Every time I connect my Classic or Nano, iTunes automatically checks Manually manage music and videos. If you uncheck this option it wants to erase your iPod, Classic or Nano and create a new sync which takes hours.
    So to be specific. When start the first sync I have the following checked:
    Open iTunes when this iPod is connected.
    Enable Disk use.
    After doing a 2 hour sync and then reconnecting, it has automatically checked Manually manage music and videos. When you uncheck it wants to reload your entire Library. Which takes 2-3 hours. The problem with Manually..... it doesn't sync new additions to the Library.
    I am starting to become an Apple hater. They are going the way of Microsoft. You call Apple tech support and they want to charge you per incident. And Lion is a disaster. I was an early convert to Apple and now I am getting really cranky.

    I was thinking the other way.
    Checking Manually manage Music and Videos does not erase the content (even though it says it will).

  • My playlists only appear in itunes when my ipod is connected, and it will not allow me to drag songs into playlists from the music library, can anyone help. Have downloaded newest version of itunes and using windows xp.

    My Playlist only appear in the itunes when the ipod is connected , and I can not drag a song into a playlist, Also I repeatedly get a message to authorize the songs purchased in order to sync the ipod. I followed the instructions in the help menu on doing this but nothing seems to work, Help anybody ? Have installed the lastest version of itunes and I'm running windows XP.   Thanks

    Is it possible that you are not seeing the thirteenth song because you did not scroll all the way down within the playlist?
    Hope this helps!

    As long as you don't need all the bells and whistles of the iTunes Store such as Ping, and don't need to sync an iOS device running iOS 4.x, then iTunes 9.2.1 should work for you. It should be available via Software Update, but if not, you can still get it here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1056
    but it would be best to upgrade your Mac to Mac OS X 10.5 or 10.6, since it's probable that eventually the iTunes Store will no longer support iTunes 9.x.
    Regards.
    P.S. Mac OS X 10.4 was discontinued three and a half years ago, so yes, it's getting rather long in the tooth. Cheers.

    It does not magically appear in a new place.  It will only be where you put it.
    Copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one.

    Please select all open PO according to the following conditions - select if the PO satisfies any one of the below conditions:
    1) Open Quantity is less than 10% of total quantity
    2) Delivery date is more than 3 months in the past
    3) Delivery completed indicator is set and delivery date is more than 6 months in the past.
    Then a manual decision is required. Best is to develop a report which will display the list and user can select and block from the report itself.
    Also, the 10%, 3 months, etc values are depending on the customer. You may want to modify these as suitable.

  • TS1424 I downloaded a song and it will not play in its entirety. Is anyone else having this problem?

    I downloaded a song and it will not play in its entirety. Is anyone else having this problem? This has occurred on two or three songs I've downloaded lately.

    Other people have been having similar problems with songs over a couple of weeks or so.
    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.

    In itunes on your computer go to the itunes store which should be signed in with your Apple ID
    Select the purchased link from under the Quick Links section on the right.
    Navigate to what you purchased under music. Then you can redownload by clicking the cloud icon next to any item

  • Using tab groups but Firefox 28.0 crashes and even can not save all tabs in archive recently

    Hi. I installed tab groups addon on my firefox 28.0 (firefox portable version) and each group has its tabs. of course. Problem is that Firefox crashes when i work on a group with the tabs and even can not save all tabs in archive as MAFF recently too. When i try to save all tabs in archive as... i choose the name and hit save and wait but after some time this crashes too. Last time i saved all my tabs and groups as MAFF or other file was end of april and since then i can not save them anymore because of the crashing.
    I read on the help site to delete Firefox then reinstall ect. to fix problems but I DO NOT want to erase my groups with their tabs as i chose this solution working with group tabs as it would be to hard on my cpu when i use for each group a different browser for example.
    Please help me fix this problem with the crashes but without loosing my groups and its tabs as they are all important and do not wish to erase them as i use them all.
    Thanks and hope for a soon reply :)

    Can you give me your crash reports?
    #Enter ''about:crashes'' in the Firefox address bar and press Enter. A Submitted Crash Reports list will appear, similar to the one shown below.
    #Copy the '''5''' most recent Report IDs that start with '''bp-''' and paste them into your response here.

  • I downloaded 7.0 and it does not show up on my computer

    i downloaded 7.0 and it does not show up on my computer. How do I get the music files to show up?

    A movie rented on an iPhone can only be viewed on an iPhone. If you want to view on TV you need to rent directly on ATV or via computer (and stream using home-sharing)
