Podcast/iTunes U videos keep downloading and filling up space

Hi,
I updated to iOS 7.0.6 a couple weeks ago, and was forced to update to iOS 7.1 today - which itself was very hard because all my free space is being taken up by repeated downloads of video podcasts and iTunes U video lectures - given my high wireless speed, they download in parallel and very fast, and this has persisted even when
1. I updated to 7.1,
2. deleted podcasts app,
3. deleted iTunes U,
4. confirmed that ALL items on iTunes sync (on the iTunes on my computer) were off, even music (this unfortunately meant removing all pre-existing music on my phone!)
5. confirmed that wirelss sync is off (has been so forever).
Is it some kind of bug that keeps prompting these downloads even when the apps themselves are deleted and wireless sync is off? I couldn't really find this issue listed among other discussions, therefore I'm requesting a new thread.

Why does all videos keep buffering and not play

Why do videos keep buffering and play when I select them?

I am in Florida, and have a comcast business account and get download speeds of 22mbps (as tested).
The Apple tv is hooked directly into the modem with ethernet.
We have tried about 6 different routers with apple TV and none of them make the Apple Tv perform without stuttering and buffering. So we decided to use direct hook up.
I have called Apple repetitively because when trying to watch a trailer/preview, the preview stops and the buffering starts.
This will also happen when watching movies.
Lowering TV resolution to 600x480 does not help either.
Apple fail to tell me where their Itunes servers are located, so it's impossible to do a traceroute to see if there's a problem on the way.
Desperate with this situation I opened a DSL account with Centurylink :same problem!!
It seems that Apple should fix their Apple TV product before placing a product on the market that does not perform as stated.
We took this a step further, and purchased a few Apple Tv's which we are setting up with different Internet providers to see what the results are.
You may think I have nothing better to do, but I'm building a case against Apple and shall get to the bottom of this. There are no excuses for placing faulty products on the market.

ITunes 10.5 keep downloading IOS 5 onto my iPhone 4GS

Why does iTunes 10.5 keep downloading IOS 5 onto my iPhone 4GS, when it already has IOS 5 as a default on the phone?
I clicked "Check for Update" and it says that my iPhone IOS is update to date. However, when I try to do a restore, iTunes will contact the iPhone server and download IOS 5.
What gives? Is there a way to do a restore on my iPhone without having to download IOS 5?
Any advice is appreciated.
Cheers!

Restore has always worked that way, even in versions before iOS 5. It never keeps the OS file (it's a pretty big file because it's an operating system, so why would you want that to stay on your computer and take up space?) so it always has to download it again, whenever you want to restore your iPod.
Nothing to worry about.

Is anyone else experiencing trouble playing video in itunes? Video intermittenly pauses and also plays with not audio. Video used to play fine. This problem only started since I upgraded to version 7. I have not used itunes since then because I couldn't watch anything without experiencing these problems. I was waiting for the next version to come out and hoped it would fix the problems I was having, but no such luck. I just upgraded to the latest version, version 11 and I'm still having the same problems. Anyone else having these same issues and if so, any solutions?

I did everything; formatted and clean installed Os X , installed antivirus(nothing found ),checked the USB dongle with Windows 7 operating system and tomy surprise everything is fine .
I tried to reinstall the driver many times from http://www.orange.jo/en/software.php and again nothing has changed the same behavior again !
I called Orange tech support and they said if there is no problem with Windows 7 there is nothing that we can do .
What I have noticed is that when I connect to internet the Orange software only downoald 11 KBs and then stopped ,the preoblem start when I open a page on firefox or Safari and then after seconds the activity monitor start to regestier upload and downalod activity (both ways) ranging from 3 KBs ups and 3 KBs downn to 25 KBs Ups and 25 KBs down , this is just like a loop activity .

I tried to submit my podcast but showed difficulty in downloading and later showed already submitted please help!

If your podcast was submitted but rejected for any reason then the automated part of the submissions process will give you that error despite the rejection - I assume it's a bug. The workaround is to change the title slightly.
But if they had difficulty downloading (what? - the feed, or the episodes - didn't they say) then you have a technical problem you need to address. Obviously I can't advise any further unless you care to post your feed URL.

7.4.1 and iPhone - not recognising watched video - keeps downloading

The latest bugfix version of iTunes is not acting on the 'watched/deleted' flag on video from my iPhone.
For example - I have iTunes set up to only sync unwatched episodes of my seasons pass to Mad Men to my iPhone. On my iPhone once I watch an episode I delete it - clearing space for the next week's program to be downloaded.
Previously once I watched a program on my iPhone it was marked watched on iTunes at the next sync and not downloaded. Now when I watch a program on my iPhone it remains marked as new and is therefore downloaded again to my iPhone.
I can't tell whether this behaviour changed in 7.4 or 7.4.1 - as I only noticed it after the upgrade this morning.

My Windows 8 laptop keeps downloading and installing iTunes 10.2.1.1 even though the latest version is 11.0.3

Hi everyone, I'm having a really annoying problem in installing iTunes 11.0.3. I use a Dell laptop with windows 8 installed. I tried to download iTunes 11.0.3 for Windows 64 bit on apple.com. The size is actually 85Mb, but my downloads keep downloading the 77.5Mb version. So when I installed it turns out to be iTunes 10.2.1.1, the problem is iTunes 10.2.1.1 can't even recognize my iPad and I can't sync anything to it right now. Please help me because this problem is really getting on my nerves. Thank you

I tried the back-up and restore option tonight and it worked a charm.
Not sure why I had the problem in the first place but that was a relatively quick and easy fix :-)
Just do the Factory restore...
Works like magic!

Videos keep downloading even after closing Firefox.

Hello, I just signed in because I have a weird issue, so this is my first post here:
Recently I noticed my internet connection suddenly was getting very slow, I thought it was some problem with my internet provider but the problem was getting very frequent. I use a program (Win7 gadget) that helps me monitor my internet traffic, access and usage, and I noticed all my bandwidth was being used even if I had all programs closed. A couple of days later I discovered that each time I opened a streaming video from any site (not just YouTube), the problem was there, so everytime I watch a video I have to wait for it to load completely, even if I close the tab or the browser.
I don't have the slightest idea how this problem started, I'm very careful about the software I install in my PC. I've searched all over the web trying to find a solution but to no avail, it seems a lot of other users have the same issue but with some variants: some people blame it on BitDefender, other people blame it to using other browsers, etc. but I haven't found a solution yet.
Now, watching videos is a big part of my internet experience, even YouTube is my homepage, and I sometimes like to watch very long videos (20+ min.), so you can tell this problem ruins a big part of my web usage. Let's say I open a video with a 3:00 minutes length, I watch like 20 seconds of it and then I decideo to close it, now I must wait the whole three minutes for the video to stop buffering to be able to watch another one (or to do anything web related for that matter) or surf the web at the pace of a snail until the video stops loading.
The solutions I've tried so far are:
Disabling all antivirus options in BitDefender 2012.
Disabling and enabling again the network adapter.
Uninstalling my monitoring programs (Windows 7 gadgets).
Updating Flash Player to the latest version.
Trying to tweak the various Flash Player options found in Control Panel (a.k.a. Global Settings).
Trying to tweak the Flash Player Settings found by right clicking on a video.
Another thing I noted is that if I try to find which program is accessing the internet with the Resource Monitor that comes with Windows 7, there's none. Let's say that I open a video, I check the Resource Monitor and there I can find Firefox is accessing internet as expected, then I close Firefox, the program dissappears from the Resource Monitor (again, as expected) but the bandwidth is still being accessed at full. I have a very slow connection (2 Mb), so you can tell how this becomes a problem for me.
I'm not sure how or when the problem started, and I'm reluctant to do a System Resore because there seems none of the programs affected have nothing to do with my issue, and I'd lose some other stuff I've configured on my PC and want to keep.
Well, that's all I have to say, thank you for reading and I really hope you can come with a solution, cya!
Here are my specs:
Windows 7, 64-bit
Firefox, ver. 17.0.1
Adobe Flash Player, ver. 11.5.502.135
(PS: While writing my specs, I was just wondering if it was a problem with Firefox, which updates quite frequently... go figure.)

What? No replies? Anyone?
Well, I just wanted to add that the problem seems to be with Firefox. I tried opening videos with Internet Explorer 9 and they stopped buffering the moment I closed their tabs or closed the browser, so I downgraded Firefox from ver. 17.0.1 to ver. 16.0.2 and I thought the problem was solved, the videos stopped downloading as soon as I closed them, but the next time I opened Firefox the problem was there again...
BTW, I've already ran a full system antivirus scan, but my PC is clean. I've also tried disabling Greasemonkey and all its scripts.
Please, help me if you can!

if no joy with beau's suggestion, try the following procedure.
first, head into your Add/Remove programs and uninstall your QuickTime. if it goes, good. if it doesn't, we'll just attend to it when we attend to itunes.
next, download and install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. use it to clear any existing itunes and/or QuickTime installation configuration information from the PC.
Description of the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility
next, use the the following document as a guide for manual removal of leftover itunes and quicktime program files:
Removing iTunes and QuickTime for Windows
now try another itunes install. does it go through properly this time?

When songs are playing in itunes the sound keeps pausing and making little clicking noises. Any ideas?

When songs are playing in itunes the sound keeps pausing for brief moments and making little clicking noises. Any ideas how to fix this?

Error -36 is an I/O error, which could indicate a damaged Catalog file, corrupted bitmap or (even worse) a dying HD.
I would recommend to run Disk Utility and perform a 'Verify disk'.
If lots of errors are found, try to save as much files as possible to another disk.
Then perform a 'Repair disk'. Repairing a catalog file or bitmap might cause loss of files, that's why I recommend to verify first and save the files, before repairing.
