Limit concurrrent downloads?

Is there any way to limit itunes to one concurrent download at a time? In particular for movies/shows. When I purchase them one by one, I don't seem to have a problem.
I recently dropped two season passes and all **** broke lose. I'd get connection errors all the time. I'll restart itunes and it will continue eventually.
It'd be nice if I could just limit one download at a time... and while we're add it, being able to change priority too.

In iTunes 7.0.1 you can do it manually by canceling the downloads you want to save for later.
In the left side main menu, there is the sub-category of "store" and when iTunes is downloading there is a listing there which says "Download" and the number of downloads you have in que.
Inside that category, is the list of all the downloads. At the very far right end there is an 'x' icon which, if you click it, will stop that particular download.
What would be really nice would be to have a feature to "pause" as well as to "prioritize" the downloads by setting the order and total number of downloads.

    Is there a limit on downloading previously purchased songs?

    I think what the message is saying is that if you download past purchases for that account then you will be tying the Mac to that account for 90 days - I was thinking that it was saying that it's already associated with an account, not that you are about to associate it. If you don't want that to happen (which if it's your only account then it shouldn't be an issue), then you should be able to copy the content from your other Mac to it via, for example, home sharing : copying content between computers.

  • Is there a time limit on downloads from the AppStore

    I have only wireless Internet access, with a monthly quota of 10GB after which the transfer speed becomes even worse than usual. Frequently downloads fail after a considerable time (which doesn't help with my monthly quota, of course). As an example, I have just tried to download iTunes v12 (with my monthly quota exhausted) and that failed after about 3 hours and 160GB. Frustrating and makes something like downloading Yosemite virtually impossible.
    Does anyone know whether the App Store places a time limit on downloads and then terminates them? That's the impression I have. Sometimes I have had more success using the Speed Download program but it isn't always possible to find the necessary URL.
    Thanks for any help.

    i dont think there are how many hours are we talking about?

  • Limit email downloads while roaming?

    Hello
    When I am roaming I would like to limit my email downloads, to just download headers, or just the first 5k, like I used to be able on my Treo. Even being able to set "no attachments" or "no images" would be great.
    Right now I'm finding my email charges while roaming are huge, because I get a lot of email that really isn't crucial, but I have to download it all in order to see the messages that are.
    How would I enable this?
    Thanks

    Here is what I have noticed with attachements.
    I can test and send an attachment to myself from PC to iPhone accuont that it is checking.
    Open Mail App. It checks and says connecting...etc. I see messages show up.
    Get the Ding.
    Shortly after that the paperclip will show I got one with an attachment.
    But then the progress at the bottom goes away. However, if I don't go into that mail message and just wait. The progress indicator at the top will start and will process and process and process. Once that if finally done. If I open the message. The attachment will be there already downloaded. Only if one goes into a mail message around the time it arrives (before it had time to download) have I seen it say attachment is there but not downloaded (or at times it will take time and process and download on open).
    I have just found (from my experience) that if you don't go right into email when an email with an attachement arrives and let it sit it will eventually be there when you do go check.
    Now this also happens when I don't open the mail app at all. As I described in one of my earlier posts. I listen to music/podcasts on FM transmitter in my car. I get the now and then interference for txt, grabbing new cell etc. When new email arrives (I don't seem to get interference with just checking...odd) but when new email arrives I hear the itnerference (longer than txt interference) then it stops, I get a ding. But I will leave it there as I don't need to be reading email while driving. But if an attachement was included, then it will start to process again (long time with interference...could be minutes if big attachment especially while moving and jumping towers). I have had to pause playback as it is just unbearable. I have at times gotten fed up knowing it was a huge file that I can get later and gone and turned of my email after having gone into mail to press and hold home button to force quit it.
    All my accounts I check are POP.

  • Mail 7.0 - limit email download

    I want to add an IMAP-account to Mail. Since I've used this account for many years, it contains thousands of emails and several archive folders, and I really don't want to fill up my SSD with that.
    There used to be a "Don't keep copies of any messages" checkbox in Mail's account preferences, but this option was removed in OS X 10.9. There's also no way to limit synchronization to a certain time frame or specific folders.
    I am aware I can exclude attachements from being downloaded, but still it's a lot of data.
    The same problem exists in iOS 7: You cannot limit the email download to a certain time frame as in iOS 6.
    (This actually means I cannot use Mail on my iPhone or sync Mail with iCloud if I don't want to fill up a big part of my phone/cloud space with email data)
    Does anybody have solution for this, or an explanation for the removal of these features?

    Found this:
    I did discover that, if I drag the message into a local folder in the "On My Mac" section of Mail, then I can remove the attachment.

    That's how.

  • Can I limit my download quota?

    Hi, all!
    I do a lot of downloading (and uploading of GNU/Linux torrents). I have had an email from my ISP on two occasions now saying that my usage has exceeded what they define as the 'fair usage'. I'd be really surprised if I downloaded this much, so want to impose my own restrictions. Does anyone know a way to (for example) limit my daily usage?
    In fairness to my ISP they said that this isn't a problem, but they reduce my 'peak time' speed to 1 meg, which is inconvenient.
    Any help appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Chris.

  • Limit email download

    I'm using Mail on OS X 10.9 and I want to add a Yahoo-account.
    The problem is I've been using this account for about 10 years, so it contains thousands of emails and many folders that I use to archive messages.
    What I need on my computer is basically my inbox content of the last week.
    I am aware that the concept of IMAP is to synchronize my entire account between my computer and the server, but is there still a way to limit the synchronization to a certain time frame or at least to exclude certain folders?
    Also, can I stop Mail from making emails available offline and only access them on the server (so it doesn't use more and more disk space)?
    Thank you for your help!
    Mario

    From the Mail menu bar, select
    Mail ▹ Preferences ▹ Accounts
    Select the IMAP account, then the Advanced tab in its settings. From the menu labeled
    Keep copies of messages for offline viewing
    select
    Don't keep copies of any messages

  • Mountain Lion - Redemption and Time limit for download

    I realised only yesterday, that i have to apply and register through Up-To-Date for obtaining redemption code. I did applied immediately, no response from Apple yet. I am going on vacation and will be back only after 30 days, does the redemption valid for 30 days and download allowed after 30 days. Any help is much appreciated.

    I applied to as soon as I'd seen that it was available but have not received any email from Apple either.
    I know there was a problem with redemption codes for some users saying "code already redeemed".
    Don't know if this has slowed the process down?
    I'm searching for someone to email with my reference number and see what's happening.

  • Offline data with mobile service - How to limit data download

    Hi to all,
    I have to manage offline data with mobile service.
    I have a table with a lot of data but I would like to download data range by range,
    let say 100 records for time.
    Is it possible to do this with PullAsyn method?
    I noticed that I'm not able to use skip function at the query parameter in the PullAsync method.
    Infact if I try to use it in the query 
    await mytable.PullAsync("mykey",mytable.Where(r => r.userid == iUserId).Skip(iSkip).Take(iTake));
    I receive this error:
    Incremental pull query must not have skip or top specified
    Any help is appreciated.
    Thanks
    Daniele

    Right now, the implementation of PullAsync() in the .NET SDK, will always try to continue paging until the end. So this will download the initial range, but then continue on with everything after as well (updating skip until no more records are found)
    So you would be better off (probably) in letting the inc sync logic handle the paging for you. 
    To come up with an appropriate workaround, what issue are you running into letting inc sync fetch all the pages sequentially in the background?

  • Time limit to download DPS app?

    Dear All,
    We're working on historical tours that I'm thinking of publishing through Adobe Digital Publishing Suite rather than through a regular app so that I can include more content and span multiple devices without so much hassle.  I'm a small fish so would probably go with the single edition DPS version.  Once a DPS single edition publication is published and is available for download through the iTunes App store, how long does it remain active for download?  Is it only for the duration of the one year DPS license or does it remain active as long as it remains in the iTunes store?  In other words, how long is the shelf life of a DPS single edition app sold through the iTunes App store?  Will I have to pay every year to keep it in the store, or once it's there, will it remain there?  Thanks.
    Small Town Gal

    Yes, you have to keep paying Apple.
    No, you don’t pay Adobe except for the initial fee.

  • How can I limit the number of simultaneous downloads on my Mac?

    Hi Everyone,
    I'm using an old Powerbook G4 runnnig 10.4.11.
    Whenever I'm downloading a large number of files simultaneously, my OS insists on downloading them all at the same time. When I've got 50+ files coming in, it gets kind of messy and makes it hard to use the internet. Everything slows down.
    It seems to me there should be a preference somewhere that will allow me to enter a number which would be the max number of files being actively downloaded. The rest of the files beyond this number would be in "queue" state, waiting their turn.
    You know ... if I'm clicking on 50 files to download, I only want two or three of them downloading at one time. The rest can wait their turn.
    Darned if I can find such a pref, though.
    Does 10.4.11 have such a feature that will allow me to have only a small number of files actually downloading and the rest of them queued up?
    -JOHN
    ps. By the way, I'm using Firefox. I don't find any such pref in Firefox, either.

    Thank you for the reply. I had no idea I had so much access to Firefox prefs.
    It's still a strange design though. Yep, the original setting was set to 30 simultaneous downloads. I set it to four, which would see to make my Mac more usable as four downloads are rolling while all the rest are in queue.
    Only probably is, Firefox doesn't just think of what is in the download list as a "download". Once all four downloads are rolling, no more webpages will open! (Strangely, sometimes they will, but very slowly ... but usually not at all.)
    Apparently, even a browser tab is a "download" and is stopped once the assigned number of simultaneous downloads is reached.
    So I'm still back to not being able to limit my downloads for the benefit of having good use of my browser while downloads are coming in.
    Right now, one pages where I have boo-koo downloads I want to initiate at one time, I'm clicking "download", starting the download, going to the downloads list, pausing it, getting another download, pausing it, and so on until I have a complete queue ready to go. Then I start the downloads once I know that I no longer need the internet.
    That seems sort of for the birds, doesn't it?
    Does anyone have any suggestions? Other specialized download programs get the concept of an active queue and a paused queue with a number-setting to determine the max downloads. Why doesn't Firefox get this? Or does it and have I just still not found it?

  • How do i limit the number of simultaneous downloads to my ipod touch?

    I just purchased a new ipod touch and want to dump my entire icloud library onto it.  I figured the easiest way to do this would be to make a smart playlist that includes all my music and then just download the whole playlist (thousands of songs).  The problem is, at about 2/3 of the way through a track, the ipod touch automatically starts downloading the next track. At this point, it's trying to download about 50 tracks simultaneously and as a result is taking abotu 5 minutes to download one song.  How can I limit the number of simultaneous downloads?  Is there a faster way to load up a new ipod touch with your icloud library?  Thanks.
