PC Powers off when downloading through iTunes

This is totally weird, and 100% replicatable.
I initially discovered this when I got support to help me recover some lost music. It showed up in my downloads section. It started to download, then instantly my PC is powered off.
No blue screen, no error of any kind. One second, happy iTunes progress bars, the next second, powered off. This is a Laptop in a dock using AC power, so it's bypassing battery power too. It just clicks and is powered off.
I reinstalled iTunes and was able to download everything. I assumed the issue was resolved until I bought something new and it happened again during the initial download of that new album. Now it's happening everytime I try to download, new or recovered purchases. I've yet to be able to download the last album I paid for.
Help?

Since you're getting that when doing Store stuff, if you've got a Radeon-based display adaptor or video card, I'd try updating your video drivers as per:

If you are trying to update iTunes, try downloading it and installing manually. Go to http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/, download the latest version and save it on your computer, then double-click on it to install.

Why can't i access my Apps that I downloaded through iTunes. I believe I'm doing something wrong and not that the issue is iTunes itself

Occasionally ill try downloading an App through my Macbook Pro 13.5 & it directs me to iTunes to be downloaded. So, I go to iTunes and download the App I need. For instance, Amazon. I go into 'My Apps' in iTunes and try clicking on one of my DL Apps, but nothing happens. Why can't I access the Apps, which I downloaded through iTunes.?I believe I'm doing something wrong and not that the issue is iTunes itself. I have OS X Yosemite 10.10.1. I am due for an upgrade from that software and also an upgrade for iTunes as well, but that shouldn't be the problem. I've tried everything on my end to troubleshoot. I don't really have the time during the day to call in and troubleshoot, so thats why I'm asking the community. Please help with this problem if anyone can. Thank You!

Once you download an iOS app, you cannot run that app from the computer. That can only be run from an iOS device. You cannot download Mac Apps from the iTunes App Store, those are downloaded from the Mac App Store. Two different places. If you want a Mac app that will run on your Mac, you need to download that from the Mac App Store. iTunes App Store only has iOS apps that work on iOS devices, iPhone, iPad, or iPod.

Can I turn off automatic download of Itunes Extras

This has been asked before by someone else but they recieved no answers so I'll try again.
Can I turn off automatic download of Itunes Extras. I never use them and have to delete them and they hold up downloads of what I want?
Thanks

Thanks Michael. I had no idea that that menu was even there, and it seems odd that it's not accessible frome the regular menu bar (or is it??). But indeed, I do see it now and this may help. The reason I said this approach is still less than ideal is that it will require me to remember all of the accidental unflaggings between syncs to my computer, and then manually reflag everything.... and if I want to be sure to do it right I'll have to take notes etc, which is quite a burden just to get around something that used to work effortlessly and automatically until Apple "improved" it... But thanks!

Anyone knows what this is and how to fix it?

Perhaps try the iTunes Store loads partially or returns "Error 306" or "Error 10054" section in the Specific Conditions and Alert Messages: (Mac OS X / Windows) section of the following document:

If iTunes sees the iPod, try a manual install, as pointed out on link below.

After I download through ITunes, my Updates Available count is not zapped. So right now I still have 16 Apps to download.

After I download through ITunes 10, my Updates Available count is not zapped. So right now I still have 16 Apps to download after I downloaded them.

If there are problems with updating or with the permissions then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the disk image (dmg) file to the desktop
*Firefox 7.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
*Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
*Install the new version that you have downloaded
Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data if you uninstall and (re)install Firefox.

Error message when downloading newest itunes

I am getting this message at the end of download of iTunes "*Error writing to file: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\etc\zoneinfo\America\Rankin_inlet"*
If I go to that library I try to make it so it isn't read only but it remains that way way when I look back in the file. Can remove my files to a different destination and then remove itunes and start over? Anyone with the best possible solution. As I hit the retry message when this error comes up, but then it still has the error. So I hit cancel and it rolls back the installation. Help please!!!

I'm getting an error message "error writing to file, verify that you have access to that directory"
That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
Vista instructions in the following document: Check your hard disk for errors
Windows 7 instructions in the following document: How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)
Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards?

Internal Hard drive dismounts when downloading from iTunes Store?

I am having an issue when I download content from the iTunes Store to my Mac Pro.
I have my Media Library on the second Internal Hard drive (an Hitachi). When I download content after a while -usually half-way through a download or after a few minutes if its large amount to data/content (App updates etc) -the second internal hard drive will dismount. Stopping the download and making the disk inaccessible.
The internal hard drive seems to be fine otherwise. It has plenty of space and I use it as a scratch disk for video editing HD content.
To re-mount the disk, I have to do a complete shut down, remove the hard disk (I check for dust/damage etc) and re-insert and re-start the system. If the systems down not pick up the hard drive the first time I try and again and it usually recognized then. I have tried using an external hard drive as well (not sure what make the hard disk is but its an iomega unit) and the same thing has happened.
As you can imagine this is very annoying. I hve a work around currently where I set-up a tempoary Media Libabry on my system disk and download anythin I want from iTunes and then manually move the content to the second drive-not ideal but it works. I have had this issue for a year- so I have been very patient and hoping it would get resolved through updates-as I am sure there ha to been other people with the same issue.
Can anyone help me identify where the problem is? Has anyone else experienced a similar issue? I am stumped and really not sure where to start.

Hello Nesquik,
Yes, I did notice it too. A lot of noise when downloading, It sure looks as if there is no buffer or not enough buffer. Going back in history when there was no smartdrive
I hope they can fix it, very annoying. Not only because of the noise, but I also get the feeling that my harddrive must be degrading. If you only could say that you want to download on a different location (choosing the SSD) and afterwards moving to the Media Folder on a normal harddrive.

Video podcasting problem - video unable to download through iTunes

We are currently having an issue with downloading video through iTunes.
We have 12 main videos and have been up and running for almost a year now. We changed our video server since we were getting more traffic. But we left the feed.xml on the same server since that does not influence the bandwidth usage.
When we changed the video server, we only revised the enclisure url in the feed.xml. All the moved videos were checked after the move and they do play.
The problem right now is that when we go to the iTunes store and try to download it through iTunes, it gives us this error
There was an error adding the episode to iTunes
The file might be corrupted, or a file type that iTunes cannot play.
If I can view and download through a browser, why would this error appear? I have even added the mimetype as suggested here: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=1834388&#1834388
The video was originally converted from a 720x480 dv/ntsc mov into a mpeg4 by using the quicktime player pro export, movie to ipod option.
Any insights are appreciated.
Thank you,
Bongo
PS: you can find the podcast from iTunes store if you do a search for "animetv"

Hi,
The problem you're seeing isn't caused by the server where your videos are hosted, but is a problem with the feed itself. See http://feedvalidator.org/check.cgi?url=http%3A%2F%2Fgoanimetv.com%2Ffeed.xml - the big problem diagnosed is that there's an XML parsing error which is breaking the podcast in iTunes. At line 350 you've got some javascript code (which won't work in XML) - take out those lines and your feed will validate and start working in iTunes again.

Error -3150 when downloading from iTunes Store

For the past several days since upgrading to iT8, when I've tried to download files from iTunes, it has errored out at some point of the download with error -3150. I got this error when downloading a 9MB podcast file, and also a 1.64GB HD tv show.
When I got it on the podcast, it reset all of the file's progress and started over. Thankfully, it did not do it with the TV show (which was 999MB through) or I would have been considerably more upset, but it did waste all the time I was using to download it. ADSL is terrible in the country I'm currently staying in, but it's all that's available to me.
In any case, I have not seen any mention of this error anywhere, and would appreciate knowing what it means, and more importantly, what Apple is doing about it.

Well, I guess that will have to do. Thanks for the heads up. It is a DSL connection, and there's not much that I can do about intermittent connections because cable/satellite is literally nonexistant in this country. However, Apple might want to consider revamping their file transfer protocols if this is going to be a standard problem - this would be in their best interest especially since they're going to be releasing the iPhone all over the world, and very few places have Internet speeds like USA and East Asia.

TS1702 app was too large to download, was told to connect with computer and download through iTunes and it still won't install

was told to install app downloaded to itunes and app will not install even through itunes.

Weird.
Try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
