ITunes re-downloading already downloaded Doctor Who episodes.

Hello,
Everytime I am online, iTunes launches (because of an iPod touch on the same network) and tries to download some Doctor Who episode I purchased late last year (these episodes are from series, or seasons, 5 and 6 and are all SD because I did not want to pay for HD). I already have these episodes downloaded on the same PC this keeps happening on and I can watch the episodes fine. I live in a rural area with slow internet, so I would prefer not having it re-download these episodes (which took 5 hours to download, EACH)! Any way to fix this so I will not have to cancel the download everytime I go online with this PC? I am using a Windows 7 PC.
Thanks!

Anyone?

Audiobooks are a one-time only download from the store. If you still have your old and haven't copied to over to your computer's iTunes library then you can do so by connecting that phone to your computer and doing File > Devices > Transfer Purchases - it should copy over to the Books paer of your iTunes library (Audiobooks if you are using a Mac with OS X Mavericks on it). You can then sync it to your new phone.

Mail 2.1 re-downloads already downloaded POP mail!

I recently installed Mac OS 10.4.9 on a new Mac Pro tower and my older 15" G4 Powerbook. The OS comes with Apple Mail 2.1. The problem I'm having is with Mail 2.1 regarding retrieving POP mail from the Yahoo server that has already been downloaded. Since I don't routinely clear messages from the Yahoo server, repeating a download from scratch can mean over 9000 messages. This results in duplicate messages piling up in my INBOX.
Since I download POP mail to both of my computers, I don't want to clear the Yahoo server of mail.
How do I prevent Mail 2.1 from downloading already downloaded POP mail without clearing the server?
Powerbook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.9)

The first time to download the messages was 2 weeks ago when I reformatted my G4 Powerbook with the new Mac OS 10.4.9. I then set up the Apple Mail 2.1 to retrieve messages from the Yahoo server. It downloaded all the messages just fine.
Then about 1 week later, when routinely checking for new mail, it started downloaded from the Yahoo server just as it had the first time (thereby creating dulicate copies of every mail message).
This has forced me to clear the Yahoo server, which I really didn't want to do.
This problem is not severe, I understand. But the older version of Mail never had this problem over 2+ years of use.

Email keep spinning and continues to keep downloading already downloaded emails

I have not met this before. I think it should be controlled by the file at:
~/Library/Mail/MessageUidsAlreadyDownloaded3
You could try quitting from Mail and deleting this file.
Hopefully when Mail is started it will download everything again once.

Graphics Glitch (scary like Doctor Who episode)

Greetings,
Regarding MacBook Pro 13" i7 (2011):
Yesterday I was watching Season 2, Episode 8 of Doctor Who titled "The Idiots Lantern" on Netflix Streaming via my XBOX. If you are familiar with that episode, the Doctor and Rose arrive in 1950s London during the queens coronation. They discovery that an entity inside televisions has been sucking peoples faces off. Great episode!
What was scary though was that, naturally, I was engrossed by the show and thus was not paying attention to my MacBook when it fell asleep. When I reached over to press the space bar (wake up!), the screen came on but looked much more menacing than usual. I took a photograph:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/59517691@N05/5548248738/
Note that I was not watching Netflix on my MacBook Pro. The machine was sitting idle and fell asleep while doing nothing, as I expect it to. There was no interfacing between the computer and the XBOX/TV of any kind.
My questions are this:
A) Do you think that whatever was inside the TVs in Doctor Who could have got onto my TV and then transferred to my MBP? The Doctor ended up putting the entity onto a VHS and said he would tape over her but he didnt do that before my computer glitched.
B)Has anyone else experienced this problem? I had to force a restart and then the issue went away.
Thanks much!

Over my sick days off I got more into Torchwood. So far, there is no overt mention of the Doctor, other then 'the right kind of doctor'. He hasn't appeared so far, and I'm on Season 2, Episode 2, through the Targus<sp> makes a cameo. There are a lot of sly references to Dr. Who, but you'd have to be a real Whoovian to get them - they are well hidden and never pointed out.
Overall, a perfect series for those looking for more 'realism' versus Dr. Who and a more serious, down to earth tone - essentially getting rid of the problems Dr. Who had per audience gripes without destroying the original series. Because, really, Dr. Who wouldn't be Dr. Who without some level of (quite appropriate) cheesiness.
After watching 10 episodes in a row while in the midst of a serious flu, and half out of my mind, I am finding myself speaking with a British accent without thinking about it.

Why won't my videos play in iTunes when I already downloaded them?

I downloaded an episode to watch along with a few songs....they downloaded on my iPad and now they are showing up in my purchased but its only playing 30 seconds of the episode and the songs won't play at all. Can anyone help?

iTunes on the iPad is just the iTunes store. Videos and tv shows that you've synced and/or downloaded to the iPad go into the Videos app :
Songs that you've synced or downloaded go into the iPod or Music app (depending on which version of iOS you have) :

Recent issues with already downloaded movies redownloading on thier own

This appears to be a recent issue. But I have purchased and downloaded the following movies:
How to Train Your Dragon
How to Train Your Dragon 2
ParaNorman
These movies downloaded fine. No problems with them downloading or with playback. I have been having trouble downloading GOTG. (Nice to know I am not the only person.) This morning I start up iTunes and the above listed movies started downloading again. I have been having some issues with the recent versions of iTunes. Problems that I have never had before. Starting with iTunes 11 and continuing with iTunes 12, it seems to be losing track of what I have purchased. Ignoring what is currently in my Library and re-downloading already downloaded material. This cluttering up my Library with duplicate files I can't seem to get rid of. In some cases I am afraid to delete the duplicates. No telling what the impact will be. Does anyone know a way to stop this? Or is this the new normal with iTunes. I had been considering limiting myself to just digital downloads. But with some of this strange behavior in the part of iTunes I will continue to purchase Blu-rays or DVDs for the foreseeable future.

Have posted an updated version of the MST to my webspace here:
http://homepage.ntlworld.com/minkus/shockwave/shockwave115606mst2.zip
This new version fixes the following issues (changes to this version in bold):
MsiInstaller repair & errors on first run as non-admin (removes 'AppData' directory entries)
DCOM errors once Shockwave is installed (adds double quotes to the beginnning of LocalServer32 value)
Incorrect TypeLib paths in the registry (fixed to use built-in [SystemFolder] property)
Default CLSID description value missing (set to 'Shockwave ActiveX Control', as per the executable installer)
Incorrect Shockwave 10 paths in the registry (fixed to use built-in [SystemFolder] property)
Misspelt 'OptionalComponets' registry key (renamed to 'OptionalComponents')
Missing .dcr, .dir, .dxr Content Type registry values (included in the executable installer)
Fixed incorrect AppID registry key (set to use installer's [VERSION] variable)
Removed 'Launch SWDNLD.exe' shortcut created in Programs subfolder (people don't want this - see here)
I have tested this on my network and it all seems to work fine. Unfortunately my original plan to use the executable installer didn't work out as it does not include the Shockwave 10 compatibility components described here and here, so it looks like I'll have to keep this MST file up to date with the latest versions until Adobe fix the problems themselves...
If you want to see the changes that I have made, load up Adobe's 11.5.6.606 MSI file in Orca, then use Transform / Apply Transform to apply the MST, and look for the entries in green.
Please post any feedback to this thread, and I will try to respond if I can help!

Download previously downloaded music to computer

Hi, my Lover deleted some music files from my hard drive. I had purchased these files from iTunes and had already downloaded them.
I have logged into iTunes Store and clicked Purchases and they appear there, but because they have been "downloaded" there appears to be no way to download them again.
I also had manually transferred them to my iPhone and they are still there, however when I attach my iPhone to iTunes and right click to select "transfer purchases", nothing transfers back to my computer, since it was purchased not on the iPhone, but on my comptuer originally.
Is there anyway I can get this music back on my hard drive? Either from within the iTunes music store or from my iPhone?

I have downloaded a new season that has aired 2 episodes on tv already but only the 1st episode is available on iTunes...where is the other episode of ANTM cycle 21?

I have purchased new season of Americas Next Top Model cycle 21 and i know that 2 episodes have aired on television already on Aug 18 and Aug 25th , yet only the 1st episode is available to download on iTunes...where is the other episode and why is it not available to download yet??
Very Frustrating!

Hello christopher_vee
You should be able to see those purchases once they are ready to be downloaded. If you do not see it, navigate to the iTunes Store. Once there click on Purchased in Quick Links and click on TV shows. You should now see all the TV shows that you have purchased and what is available to download.

I bought the season 7 pass for Doctor Who, but the new episodes are not showing up for download. Who can I contact to find out why?

I bought the season 7 pass for Doctore Who, but the new episodes are not showing up for download. I've been all over the support page, I even looked up my purchase history and there is are none showing and I even bought last weeks episode, The Bell's of St. John. Who can I contact to find out why I'm not getting the rest of season 7 for download?
Thanks,

Garmin is sending you to Apple because it is Apple that would have to give you a refund as the actual point of sale. However, Apple states all sales are final.
Apple is sending you to Garmin because it is Garmin's fault their maps are out of date and Apple doesn't write the software. They may not even be looking that deeply and simply perceiving it as a programming "bug" it is up to Garmin to solve.
Who know whose fault it is that Garmin isn't getting up to date data to put in their maps.
Ultimately I think you stand the best chance in getting a refund from Apple though it isn't guaranteed. Apple is the cashier. You just have to convince them this isn't just a line of code omitted from an application and isn't something that will be soon corrected by Garmin. Make it clear it isn't a problem with the application running on your device, it is a problem with the data it contains. Either that or you have to hope Garmin will feel so bad about it they will delve down into their slush fund and send you a refund.

ITunes Store claims I have already downloaded the SD episodes???

Hello,
Last week I purchased Fringe Season Two HD on my AppleTV. As they were downloading I went to the Purchased section in the iTunes Store on my MacBook and downloaded the first two episodes in SD.
Yesterday, I tried to download more SD episodes but I was told I had already downloaded all the SD episodes to that computer. I hadn't though.
I have just tried to download them on my iMac, but I get a "search had no results" message, except for HD episodes.
I was going to try download them on my iPhone, but I do not know how to download SD episodes.
Can anybody help?

You'll need to download the SD episodes through your Purchased page.

If you'll see the Downloaded icon grayed out, this means you already have the episodes on your computer. You just need to help iTunes locate the files.

HT201272 Help. I downloaded an episode of a TV Show, but only 30 seconds of it downloaded, and now it won't let me download it. It thinks I've already downloaded the whole show. I paid for it, but I can't view it. It doesn't offer option to redownload

I downloaded an episode of a TV show (and paid for it), but the download froze and only 30 seconds of it downloaded. I can't figure out how to download the rest of it. itunes shows it as already downloaded, and doesn't give an option for re-downloading it. I have gone to the page where you finish any incomplete downloads, and this one did not show up on it. I tried deleting the episode (or 30 seconds of the episode from my computer), hoping that I could redownload it, but it still shows up as downloaded & doesn't give me an option to download it. I paid for it, but I can't watch it. How do I contact a real person or do a live chat or something so I can get this fixed?
(I'm on an iMac)

Having the same issue, can someone please enlighten us?

ITunes Says Having Difficulty Downloading Episodes From Your Feed

I'm trying to submit my podcast feed to iTunes, I am able to subscribe to my feed by going to File > Subscribe to Podcast > and pasting http://www.servextra.com/category/scrshow/feed/ in the field. iTunes then recognizes all of the episodes in my feed and I'm able to play them all with no problem.
When I try to submit this same exact feed to the iTunes Podcast Directory, I get the error message iTunes Says Having Difficulty Downloading Episodes From Your Feed. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong to cause this?

I don't know why you are having this problem. The URL of your top episode's media file is
http://traffic.libsyn.com/toddliles/12_012_-_Easy_Budgeting_in_30_Minutes_-_10.1 7.2013.mp3
This redirects to

The Store can by flaky about redirects, and this one has the '?' which indicates a script of some sort is in use. However, Libsyn normally know what they are doing so I wouldn't have expected them to provide a URL which didn't work. Your best bet would be to approach their Support; or Robert Walch, who works for them, posts here sometimes and may see your question.
It is just possible that the Store is having one of its hissy fits and it may be an error at their end, but certainly Libsyn should be able to advise.
