Itunes will not stop downloading a song Help!!!

I can't get itunes to stop downloading a song. I have tried everything I know how which probably isn't much, however it isn't fixing the problem. Please someone tell me what to do!

In a peculiar twist, in 11.1.1 two particular podcasts (Science Friday audio & video) have two particular weeks of episodes (one was last week, so it may extend to the future as well) that won't delete permanently.  When you delete the already played episodes, they just download again on a refresh.  That behavior is described in lots of places.  I thought it might be a bug in the RSS code, but I've compared SciFri with some others that don't have the problem and can't identify anything glaring.
The peculiar twist is that if I mark the already listened to episodes as Played (so I don't have to look at the large counter number), after awhile they show up as unplayed again!  Some bit deep down in the iTunes innards is not sticking as it should once episodes are played, and it's apparently an intermittent issue that affects only certain podcasts.  One would think it couldn't have anything to do with the actual audio or video content, so it must have something to do with the XML or the metadata being read or set wrong.
Very vexing, because without constant policing, downloads and disc space keep accumulating - a problem for those on limited data plans.

  • ITunes will not stop verifying

    I have an iPhone4 with the latest iTunes (10.1.0.54) and when I plug my iPhone4 in, it will not stop verifying. I used to have this problem if I canceled a sync. It would verify the phone the next time I plugged it in. I did that this time. I canceled a sync, but now it will not stop verifying to do anything else. I have left it plugged in for 14 hours and it just verifies the entire time. I can do nothing else. It is not set to sync automatically. How do I stop this?

    I'm having the same problem, but I've got a MacBook Pro (rather than a PC).
    Not only does it continue to 'verify' but it won't even let me force quit (says it's restoring my phone ... but after a number of hours it must be done already).

    P.S.
    I have already tried re-installing 5 times and each time it has not worked and it worked fine before.  iTunes will not even load up and it is very frustrating not being able to get new music or even listen to it on my laptop.

    First you need to uninstall it according to Apple's directions here
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925
    Next download the free Ccleaner and clean your Registry
    http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner/download/standard
    Then downlod iTunes from the Apple website
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/
    you will not lose your iTunes content.

  • My iTunes will not open, error message 13014, help!

    My itunes will not open on my Macbook Pro, everytime I try it says error message 13014, what does this mean? Thank you!

    Hold the option key while starting iTunes and create a new library. Does it start now? If so, it's something to do with your library file. Is there anything we should know about your computer such as you keeping your library on a NAS?

  • HT1711 How do I get a album that I purchased already to show the whole album. After the lastest upgrade it only shows one song from the album. I tried repurchasing it but it says that is already purchase but will not re download. Please help.

  • Itunes WILL NOT recognize CD or song names!!

    I have tried EVERYTHING and itunes still isn't recognizing an audio cd until I open it manually, and then it doesn't bring up the album name, or the song names.. I dont know what else to do! I've looked at all the support sites and none of the suggestions will work.. someone PLEASE help..... I have the latest itunes and everything... i uninstalled itunes and reinstalled it with the brand new CD and it still wont work! help!

    I had the exact same problem. To fix it I had to put a CD in the drive. Then right click on the cd icon in iTunes and select elect CD. This will kick the cd and once you put a new CD in the drive it should recognize it. As long as you have access to the internet you should be seeing the song names.
    Note: The internet will not find track listings for burnt compilation cds or even complete cds that the songs were downloaded individual and illegally from a peer to peer sharing program.

  • ITunes will not even download!!!

    I don't know what the heck is going on here.
    I have been trying to download and install iTunes for a LONG time.
    The iTunes program (and/or Quicktime) gets to 72% and then the download stalls out. I have downloaded many other files without a problem, but dozens of attempts to download apple software have all failed.
    I tried leaving the download overnight and a few times I have returned to find the download complete, but the program will not install. When this happens I get an error saying that the program is not a valid win32 application.
    Finally frustrated to my wits end, I formatted the hard drive and did a fresh install of Win XP SP3 and tried again, with the same failed results.
    I am using a PAYG 3G USB dongle in the UK.
    Any help is appreciated.

    i have the exact same problem with this, is it maybe the dongles we are using do you think???
    its getting very fustrating

  • ITunes will not play downloaded videos

    The music videos I have downloaded from the iTunes store will not play anymore. What happens is, when I click on the fire to play or open up iTunes and try to play it iTunes just quits on me. The music i have downloaded from iTunes works it is just the videos. Even when I try to play them with Quicktime, this will also just quits on me too.
    Thanks for your time

    I just tried to preview a video in the iTunes music store and iTunes just quite on me. So all the videos I bought do not play in iTunes nor Quicktime. And I can not preview video on the store I do not know if this would help, but I have iTunes 6.0.3
    Thanks

  • I have two users on my laptop. when i try to share my itune files from the main account, the second acount itunes will not find the files. the help suggestions must be for an older version of itunes. when i click find files-nothing happens.

    I cannot share itune files on the same laptop. I have two users on my laptop using windows 7.file sharing is turned on,when i click on the itune startup screen-find music files, nothing happens. the instructions in the help section must be from an earlier version of itunes because the edit folder is not laid out like it describes.

    Have you rendered both iOS 7 and iOS 8 (both of which will work on your iPhone 5) out of the question entirely without trying every possible configuration? The animations can be disabled entirely, if that's the problem. And if the whiter-brighter user interface is the problem, there's reverse-contrast modes that darken everything. You can expose accessibility controls to gain immediate access to these functions to toggle them on and off. I guess my point is you may have decided against upgrading the OS based on an early experience with iOS 7 when Apple has since made changes in later revisions to address some of the usability complaints.
    Now, Apple's instructions for downloading older versions of apps is to do so from the Purchased list, not from the app's product page.
    See here:
    Install the latest compatible version of an app on an earlier version of iOS or OS X - Apple Support
    Let us know how that works for you.

  • Itunes will not import the full song

    my computer crashed a few months ago and ever since then i cant import CDS onto iTunes...the full song. It will download the first 10-14 seconds then quit and move on to the next song.
    I got really annoyed with that so i thought that i could import them from Windows Media, but then it said i didnt have some license or something.
    Anyone have a solution?

  • Itunes will not finish download

    Hello,
    I click on download itunes, put in my email address, click download again.  The download box pops up and I click "Run" when I'm prompted the next two windows.  After that, a progress bar comes up by itself and it shows the bar go all the way across as if it were complete, and then nothing happens from there.
    In the programs list, the actual iTunes program does not show, but the iTunes installer package does.  I have tried removing the iTunes installer package but get a message saying "The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable".
    I'm running Windows XP Home Edition
    Thanks in advance

    I have done all of these things multiple times, at least twice before I opened the Help Desk Ticket.  No change after doing the process.
    This was a reply to an earlier "Help Desk" person
    Yousuff,
    I followed your instructions to no success. The exact same two episodes refuse to download, with the exact same conditions I reported. I do IT for a NASA contractor so I understand the support process companies use & getting through the beginning troubleshooting process for remote users, so let's move on.
    1) I don't see the issue as related to downloads being enabled or marked finished 38 other items successfully came down before & after my initial issue.
    2) The problem is repeatable with the exact same results.
    3) My machine has been shutdown since yesterday morning. I booted it, launched iTunes & am now in the same state as before, both episodes stuck @ 1.8 mB in the download & it will stay in this state until I restart iTunes, now matter how long I wait.
    4) My machine is running Mavericks & iTunes is 11.1.3 (8). Our internet provider is Comcast. My mini is on a wired network.

  • Mail will not stop downloading

    I have a flat screen iMac 800 w/ OS 10.3.9 and mail 1.3.11.
    The mail continuously downloads nonstop. How do I stop this? If I delete the mail it just downloads the same stuff again. The server wil not let the mail be deleted by Mac mail once it is downloaded. I have a laptop with the same accounts and it behaves normally. Mail only downloads once on that computer. But that one has OS 10.4 on it.

    You're welcome.
    my isp's mail will let my mail stay on the server for a very long
    time before it is deleted
    This isn't strange. What's strange is that you cannot remove the messages from the server if you wish.
    I did as you said to do in your last post and even emptied the trash
    and did a restart. It still still wants to download over 8000 mails
    from the server.
    As I said in my previous post, this was to be expected. Deleting MessageUidsAlreadyDownloaded causes Mail to treat everything still on the server as if new and try to download it again. What deleting MessageUidsAlreadyDownloaded is supposed to accomplish is to get rid of any corruption that might be causing Mail to download the same messages repeatedly.
    I think that I may have to manually delete all the old mail on the server
    Definitely.
    Having two machines downloading the same mail when one machine is seldom
    used just isn't working it seems.
    It should work, but you may need to clean up the server first.

  • My iTune will not open!!! Help!

    I have not open my iTune since last November. Everything was ok last time I opened it. Today I tried to open it again but it just won't open. When i double click the icon, the hour glass appear next to the arrow indicating it's loading, but after few second it disappear like I never clicked on it. I tried clicking on it repeatly but no respond, it just ignore me. I uninstalled it and reinstall it again, but the same things happen.

    The first thing I'd suggest is to get a good antispyware checker and give it a go at your system. Some recent spyware has been reported by other users to shut down iTunes or prevents it from launching. From user reports, Ewido seems to be the best at catching it. You can download a free version of Ewido here.
    Hope it helps.
