Itunes won't stop downloading duplicates

After the most recent update for my iPad (ios7.1.1), iTunes on my macbook pro suddenly started downloading all my tv shows again so that I have duplicates and used a huge amount of bandwidth. Auto downloading was already unchecked and I unchecked everything else that looked like an autodownload. All of my auto syncs are turned off so I manually add things to the iPad.
My Macbook has started to grouse that the startup disk is full. I have tried removing duplicates and iTunes immediately started redownloading. I removed all the files to the trash, but I can't delete them from trash except one by one and it takes ages.
Anyone have this problem and have an Idea about what to do?

This did not work for me.
Nothing works for me.
Sometimes when I load iTunes, it tries to automatically download all sorts of TV shows I purchased.
Even Season 2 episodes of Dexter I watched long ago.
Not every time. Maybe every other time? Or every third time I load iTunes.
It seems so arbitrary, that I think it's seriously trying to mess with me.
It also happens when I select "Check for Available Downloads" --
I don't have a good enough internet connection to download 57 gigabytes worth of TV I don't want to watch.
Even if I delete Dexter from iCloud.
Even if I pause the downloads and mark them as watched.
Nothing works.
Dexter will not go away.
I want to murder iTunes.

ITunes won't stop downloading TV shows

Last December I was going on vacation and began downloading the entire season of Pan-Am. After watching one episode, I decided to stop the downloads. Ever since, every time I connect my iPhone to my laptop or even just start iTunes, it continues to try downloading the episodes. I have deleted the episodes, I have gone into the iTunes folder and deleted them, and nothing has worked. I cannot stop downloading them! I pause them every time I open it, but I would like to stop completely.

ITunes won't stop creating duplicates and triplicates in my library!

My issue is that iTunes is creating duplicates of my songs. Over and over and over again. I have the preferences set so that it is saving everything in one folder, etc. It still happens. In fact, not only are there duplicates, there are 4 and 5 copies of songs. I've gone and deleted the duplicates, and then when I go to play the remaining file out of the library, it says it can't find it.....it's really bizarre. At first it wasn't that big of a deal, but now I have several gigs of hard drive space taken up by duplicate songs. It's a nightmare.
Here's some additional info about my setup; I hope this helps.
Windows XP Home OS
iTunes version 7.7 (was also happening with previous versions)
I store all of my music on an external Maxtor USB hard drive
I periodically sync my iPod classic
I occasionally use Airtunes
Please help! Anybody?!?!

did you ever figure this one out? my album folders contain one set of duplicate music files in them. glad it's only one set of duplicates at this point, but that's still double the pain in the a**.
i could spend an hour or two "fixing" this, but i dont want it to happen again...

Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPad?
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
If those don't work - sign out of your account - Settings>Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad and then go back to Settings>Store and sign in again.

How do you stop itunes video download on ipad? No pause button appears. Won't stop downloading, over and over again.

I purchased a tv episode on my ipad. It started to download, after an hour it gave an error message. The episode appeared in videos, I watched it. Then I discovered it was still downloading. It gets up to the end, then starts all over again. Nothing I do will stop it. There is no pause button, nothing happens when I swipe it. I've tried everything, turning off, signing out of appleid, it basically eats up my bandwith nonstop and I can no longer use my ipad. How do I get this thing to stop downloading?

to the right by search library theres an arrow there click on it : it will show you what it is downloading , from there you can pause and select all and delete them but still will continue to download them if you tell itunes to check for downloads. that download engien is crazy i tell yeah.
no matter what we do it will still download them trust me i tryed everything and i also went to icloud to see if it was there but to what i see is that there is no apps there this is some crazy itune program that needs to remade.

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 won't stop launching

I don't know if this happens every time that Apple has a release but it seems like once they have pushed an update my iTunes goes crazy. It won't stop auto launching at will. It's doing this on all profiles and I do not have this in my auto launch application list. I also already tried to run a permission repair and this did nothing as well. The launchd is the parent service and I thought by force killing it, it might fix the problem. Needless to say that killed my session lol. I checked the permissions on the application and my files and the permissions appeared ok. Any suggestions would be helpful.
P.S. I have deleted the app before and reinstalling it but that doesn't help.

I believe I found the answer from another post. The post mentioned a Bluetooth connection problem. I looked at my Bluetooth item list and noticed that my discoverable option was on and I turned it off. I also noticed that my Bluetooth connected printer was also unavailable and think that this was the root cause.

Added iCloud to ipad but now iTunes won't allow downloads. Error message: cannot connect to iTunes

I can open iTunes but if I click to download any app an error message pops up stating cannot connect to iTunes please try again later. I reset my Wifi router n deleted address and reset it on ipad, iTunes password reset then updated on ipad, restarted devices and still nothing. I just added iCloud to my ipad and it may have an incompatibility problem and all my phones and iPods don't get an error message and downloading completes no problem. Please help,

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Logging into iCloud with the Apple ID you use for iTunes, won't affect iTunes in anyway.

Rental won't stop downloading

Rented a movie on my iPad, watched it (well, 90%), and the 24 hour rental period is well past. Want to rent another movie, but even though aforementioned movie rental has been deleted (manually by me) from the "videos" app, it still shows up in iTunes and wants to download. There are two really weird and annoying problems with this:
1. It keeps restarting download from the same place ( like 22k downloaded) every time I go out of iTunes and then back in. This means the movie doesn't actually ever get downloaded.
2. The pause download button is not present, as it usually is for iTunes downloads on the iPad.
To make matters worse, the iPad wants to download the old, already watched and expired movie first, so the movie I've purchase a new rental for is waiting in queue.
Help.

Hello,
As an immediate way to stop the downloads, you could turn off your internet connection by clicking on the Wi-Fi icon in your top right menu bar, then clicking, "turn off Wi-Fi."
You could then delete the files that were accidentally downloaded.
After that, you could restart your computer and see if it starts downloading again.
Hope that helps!
Micah

Color wheel in itunes won't stop after syncing to my phone. Help!

I synced my iphone to my MacBook Pro last night and the color wheel still won't stop or disappear. Why does it do this and what can I do to make it stop? Does it have anything to do with iPhoto?

I moved the app and Library; I ended up removed all iTunes stuff(except) Library and reinstalled it. It now starts fresh....transferred stuff over however......I can't sync my iPhone...it says there another Library already synced....how do I know which one, I have a few(my fault).
Can I get these cleaned up somehow?
thanks!
