ITunes downloads unauthorized purchase then disappears

An unusual thing happened this morning as I was listening to one album in iTunes (10.3.1) on my Mac (10.6.6). 
I was listening to one album and purchased one song but noticed that iTunes had downloaded TWO songs - the purchased song and another song that I did NOT authorize but had purchased many years ago.
As I was searching for any threads in this forum for a similar incident, I came back to my iTunes and noticed that the unauthorized purchase I made disappeared and there is no charge for it in the account.
I'm just wondering if this could have been a hack or just a glitch?

And for the record- no-one in this household has any desire whatsoever to see that movie!!!
That and- no sign of a credit back to my account....
So I'm inconvenienced AND am out $14.95?  Seriously?

  • New iphone - needs to be restored, Itunes downloads the software, then doesn't install it and tries to restore it all over again

    So I have a new iphone. It was working fine, I had loaded my old iphone's last backup onto it.
    Then it tried to update the software to the new IOS.
    Now its stuck in restore mode, itunes downloads the 800mb update, then does nothing with it and wants to start the restore from the beginning.
    I've downloaded latest itunes, updated my computer, restarted it, all those things suggested - but it still does it. I don't have another computer I can try it with...

  • Rented movie on iTunes which stops playing then disappeared

    I rented captain America this evening. Approximately 12 minutes in it froze. I force quit iTunes and restarted the computer. The rented movie was not showing up in iTunes upon restart. I rented it again and started watching it again. Same thing happened. This time I ran software update. Again, the movie would not show up under the "rentals" folder in iTunes. Tried searching in "movies", "purchases", etc. No luck.
    Anyone have any ideas?

    Make sure your itunes and quicktime are updated.
    Also, I'm pretty sure you need to be connected to the internet to be able to play a rental.
    If you're still having issues...try emailing into itunes support. They usually have good advise on how to fix something like that and they'll usually let you redownload the rental if it dissapered on you.

  • File will download in iTunes, then disappear (completely) on Mac (Win works!)

    I am a university professor trying to get students into using iTunesU but a mess arises.
    MIT's linear algebra is a fine course but on Mac (10.6) with iTunes (10.4) one lecture (LU decomposition) will download fine and then disappears forever. I checked the iTunes folders in $HOME (unix lingo for /Users/name), $HOME/Music, checked elsewhere (went to the root (aka /) and did a find ./ -name *filename* and nothing turns up. I downloaded again and went to the download directory. I see the file growing to proper size and then it simply is gone. It is not transferred properly. I tried ps -aef and saw nothing (but it may go too fast). There is nothing in the bin either.
    This happens in several courses, not only MIT. Other lectures in the same directory go flawless.
    Issue is a Mac 10.6 / iTunes 10.4 thing. It runs fine on a Windows machine and I can download to my iPhone from wireless at home.
    Second, and related issue. Many students have iPads, iPhones, iPods. They're excellent to store some iTunesU lectures but it seems that once transferred to the iPhone from internet, there is no way to delete the files (or transfer them to Mac) !?
    Thanks for the help !

    Just adding my voice to this problem. I've watched iTunes try and download the same iTunes U video file about ten times and every time it completes the iTunes U list just resets and lists it as being available to download. Trying to play it straight from the downloads list has no effect.
    I've tried signing in but this one particular file still refuses to download. Even deleting everything in the iTunes temporary download location and checking the permissions of that folder it is still giving me problems.
    While I've been able to successfully download a couple of other videos, the one I actually want to watch refuses to work. I am desperate for help here. I've made a genius bar appointment because I have run out of ideas here.

    When you download something from the iCloud, it is a brand new licensed copy. Your iCloud account just contains a notation that you have this app. It isn't storing an actual copy of the app from your Mac.

    Followed the directions on this page. Books are not listed among the options at step five, only movies tv shows and music, so how do I download my books then? I previously purchased two audiobooks on iTunes.  They are available on my iPad, but not here.

    If you go into Edit > Preferences then on the General tab on the popup that you get you should be able to select which types of content 'show' - tick the box against 'Books' :
    Books then show under your 'Library' - if you select it, are those audiobooks listed there ?

  • I was in itunes and i purchased one song. then in the right corner number 96 popped up in the more section. I selected it and it took me to the purchase page but I already owned all of these songs. I hit download because I just switched to ios5

    I hit more in itunes it took me to a section where i assumed it would just update the music playlist. It appears to be downloading 96 songs that i already own. Im not sure why its doing this. It should know I already own these songs from my itunes account. I want tit to stop downloading and I want to make sure I am not getting charged for music I already own. how do i fix this. I have been on hold with apple for 20 mins+

  • I am trying to prevent an automatic download starting of Itunes file I purchased and no longer want. Itunes keeps wanting to download them onto a machine which has no space for that much video.

    I purchased several episodes of a TV show. I don't want the HD version. It takes up too much space. So I have the regular version. For the last two years I tunes has been trying to download the HD version. I get so frustrated with this, I barely use Itunes at all.

    Once an item enters your download queue, you can't delete it.  You can let the download complete and then delete the unwanted item. Or, contact the iTunes Store Support Team to have them remove the item from your download queue. Contact the here:  https://expresslane.apple.com/Issues.action

  • I am trying to download previously purchased music from iTunes, it show "purchased" in iTunes Store but does not show up under previous purchase tab

    There are several albums that I've previously purchased that somehow were deleted from my computer & iPad.  When I go to download available purchases on PC it say that all available punches have been downloaded.  When I check iTunes Store it show as "purchased".  When I try to check & download from iCloud via either iPad or PC these items do not show up under items purchased. 
    I can't even re-purchase the item, which I've tried since it shows as purchased in iTunes Store.  This is very troublesome because there is no way for me to access these previous purchases.  I have been using iTunes & various Apple products with the iTunes Store for several years & there is a lot of money invested in these previous purchases, that there is no way for me to access.  As mentioned, I'd even be willing to re-purchase some of these items (though this should be unnecessary).  But, the iTunes Store won't let me, because the items show up as purchased in store, but not on any of my devices!!!
    Help!

    Hey innerev2003,
    Thanks for the question, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    If, while searching through your past purchases, items are unavailable to download and show a "Purchased" button, they are still on your computer. It may be best to search your iTunes library by clicking Music, then use the search bar at the top right.
    If you are completely sure the items are no longer in your library, try signing out of the iTunes Store, and then back in.

  • HT1349 I have a laptop computer with Windows 7, powered intel core i7. I am trying to download a  purchased movie from ITunes. I am on wifi g.  Why is it taking 17 hours to download a simple movie? This is nuts!

    Question:  Why when downloading a purchased movie from ITunes does it take 8 to 17 hours to download?  I have an HP Laptop with Windows 7 using a core processer i7.  This is the second day to try to get the movie downloaded and I still cannot watch this movie.  Seems like a problem with ITunes or a scam. I use a IPhone 4 with little issues, But when using this lap top -- it is a joke.

    First thing to do is get the CC off your system.  Then try the direct download option linked below...
    You can download the trial version of the software thru the page linked below and then use your current serial number to activate it.
    Be sure to follow the steps outlined in the Note: Very Important Instructions section on the download pages at this site and have cookies enabled in your browser or else the download will not work properly.

  • HT201253 Iphone 5s not syncing music to phone with itunes 12.0.1.26 - also cannot download full purchased albums, only some tracks

    The fun of new updates on my Windows 8.1 laptop and iphone 5S 64gb.
    I noticed since my last sync that some tracks had magically been removed - so I wanted to full sync. This couldn't even be instigated unless I deleted all my music off of phone, now it just hangs when syncing - for hours. No updates on how many tracks out of how many tracks have been synced.
    Also my purchased albums - I can see them on itunes as whole ones that are purchased, same on iphone.
    I then go to iphone to download my purchased items via itunes app, and it only shows some songs. An example is Drake, Game etc. - seems to affect full albums I've bought that are "deluxe" editions.
    All the normal/single edition albums seem fine.
    Absolutely fantastic, can't get my music onto phone except some purchased items - and even then it doesn't show all my purchases.
    Not sure if setting up family share affected things, but it can't even handle the simple tasks let alone downloading content from other users purchasers (which it detects fine ironically). New features but can't do anything that has previously been fine.
    Flabbergasted, had one work iphone4s 16gb and 64gb personal previously - no problems with same laptop.
    My alienware laptop is very high spec with SSD, so the fault does not lie here - apple related software or product.

    It couldn't do over 50gb in one go, had to do two half syncs to get all music on - i think this is limitation of the itunes software - pretty shocking really.
