My cloud won't stop downloading itunes to new iphone4s

I recnetly purchased CPO iphone4s and downloaded my ipod content and apps from the cloud. it's now in a loop downloading, won't let me update anything and is asking for a 5 year old apple id my husband doesn't have anymore (email is gone too so can't reset). I though this was supposed to be "seamless", but i've wasted almost an entire 2 days on this nonsense and am ready to just go to a droid phone and get rid of iTunes. Any suggestions?

Thanks Allan. Sorry to confuse you about my computer.
I have a MacBook Pro, purchased by myself in early 2008; operating system 10.8.5
When I try to sync my iPhone 5 to my MacBook Pro I keep getting the message:
     "This computer is no longer authorized for apps that are installed on the iPhone “Roy Johnson’s iPhone”.
       Would you like to authorize this computer for      items purchased from the iTunes Store?"
When I click the "Authorize" button I get the drop down menu to enter my Apple ID password.
The problem is, the password demanded is to an old email address I only used one year after
buying the MacBook Pro in 2008. My old address is listed as:
     "[email protected]"
Again, I no longer have or us that email address. My current email address is a "gmail" address.
When I enter my old "@mac.com" password, presented is:
     "This computer is already authorized."
I click "OK". Then am presented the following message:
     "This computer is no longer authorized for apps that are installed on the iPhone “Roy Johnson’s iPhone”.
      Would you like to authorize this computer for items purchased from the iTunes Store?"
I'm suck in an endless loop and don't know how to extricate myself from it.
Any thoughts, suggestions? Thanks.

How do you stop downloading itunes match songs to iphone 5

Cell data is turned off but it is still downloading.

When you initially enable iTunes Match on any iDevice it is wise to let it operate for a good period docked or with good WiFi.
Best route to stop it if essential is to switch off iTunes Match.

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.

ITunes 10.4.1.10 how to stop downloads of free news pods? (right click delete doesn't work) also can't scroll down list of downloads!

(ITunes 10.4.1.10) How to stop downloads of free news pods? (right click delete doesn't work)
Also can't scroll down list of downloads so as to pause them. Would like to delete them as ISP has download limit.
Thanks in advance! (this seems to be a dumb problem of the software having a life of its own!)

I have been talking to Apple support about this very problem. So far they have asked me to disable both Firewall and Anti Virus software (Windows Firewall and ESAT NOD32 anti virus) - this didn't work. Rebuild my library - this didn't work. Un-install all Apple applications and re-install - this didn't work. I have created a second user account on my PC and from that account (both accounts set as Administrator) I can activate Genius. This suggests to me that the problem is possibly linked to my original User Account, which is the one I always use. I am waiting for the next update from Apple and will post an update if/when the problem is resolved.
What I also notice is about 2 seconds in to Step 2 of the Genius activation, the progress diagonal lines bar stops, and then starts again. As soon as I see this short freeze I know that the activation will fail.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Are you using iTunes in the cloud or iTunes Match.

Just downloaded iTunes to new dell laptop, tried syncing my iPhone get an error message: "this iPhone cannot be used because the Apple Mobile Device service is not started". What does this mean? I have had this phone for over a year..

Just downloaded iTunes to new dell laptop, tried syncing my iPhone get an error message: "this iPhone cannot be used because the Apple Mobile Device service is not started". What is the issue, had this phone over a year??

I had this problem before. I like to disable extra services to speed up my computer and I disabled the Apple Mobile Device service and had to re-enable this.
You can do that by going Control Panel>Administrative Tools>Services. Once you have gone to the services window, look for Apple Mobile Device and right-click. Select "Properties". There should be some information about the service as well as the label "Startup Type" with a drop-down menu beside it. If it says "disabled", that is your problem; Change the selection to anything except disabled (Automatic is easier and ensures that you can sync as soon as itunes opens).
If this doesn't work, I would look into your anti-virus' settings. Good Luck!

If not, what to do?

Hello Nahuali
The music will be there once you sign in with your Apple ID that used for purchases. Check out the article below to know the steps on how to make that happen.

I'd first try downloading an installer from the Apple website using a different web browser:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
If you use Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa), do you get a working installer?

It is still on your old computer.
Did you copy the entire /Music/iTunes/ folder from old computer to new computer?

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 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.

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.
