Prevent movies from being downloaded twice (720p and 1080p)

I noticed that iTunes downloaded each of my purchased movies twice. I guess it's the 720p version and the 1080p version.
Anyways as my SSD is getting full I'm wondering if there is a way to just download the 1080p version. I don't feel like deleting the second download every time I buy a movie.

Well the problem is that every movie gets downloaded twice. See the attached screenshots ...

    Do you not want a backup of the iTunes content on your computer in the event the iPad is lost, stolen, or simply fails?

  • Is it possible to download both 720p and 1080p versions of a movie?

    Is it possible to download both 720p and 1080p versions of a movie purchased from iTunes and keep them both in your iTunes library? I want to watch the 1080p version on my 3rd gen Apple TV and the 720p version on my 4th gen iPod Touch? 
    So far, I have downloaded 720p versions and the only way I can get 1080p is to delete the 720p version I have and then redownload the 1080p from the cloud.  I want to keep the 720p version and also have the 1080p version.

    I ended up getting the proper response from iTunes Support. I forgot to share it with everyone else. Here is how you download both versions of the videos:
    iTunes only lets you download one version of a video at a time. As a work around, I would like you to try the following:
    - Download the 1080p version of the video first
    - Then remove the 1080p version of the video from your iTunes library and save it somewhere else on your computer.
    - Now that you have removed the 1080p version go to the iTunes > Preferences > Store
    - Change the HD version "when downloading HD videos, prefer."  to  720p
    - Go to purchase page, the 720p version should download.

  • Preventing Podcasts from being displayed as Music and\or songs.

    How can I prevent Podcasts from being displayed as Music and\or songs?

    Welcome Mr. Lutz,
    Note: This is for Windows version of iTunes because this is the OS I'm running. Even with diferent OSes, the process should be similar enough.
    1.Open iTunes
    2.Connect your iPod
    3.Highlight it in the source list
    4.Go to Edit, then Preferences
    5.Click on the iPod tab
    6.Click on Automatically update selected playlists only
    7.Click which playlists you want on your iPod
    8.Switch to the Podcast tab
    9.Select automatically update all podcasts
    10.Click OK
    11.Disconnect your iPod
    12.Now, follow steps 1-7 with one of your daughter's iPods.
    13.Now, switch to the Podcast tab
    and select Do not update podcasts
    14.Click OK
    15.Disconnect the iPod.(Repeat Steps 12-15 with the other mini.
    This should allow your iPod to update your songs and podcasts, and allow your daughters to update their songs and no podcasts.
    Happy iPodding,

  • A way to prevent photos from being downloaded?

    I remember seeing an option one time about allowing people to download images on your site that you created using iweb but I never messed around with it. So is there a way to do something that would prevent people from taking your photos? I am asking because I do photography work. There are a lot of sites out there that won't allow you to right click your mouse and snag the photo. Just wondering if iWeb offered anything like that.

    The only thing iWeb offers in that regard is, if your photos are on a Photos template page, you can set the "Photo Download Size" to "None" in iWeb's Inspector > Photos tab:
    ...Then the Download button won't appear. But iWeb doesn't prevent right-click downloading.

  • How can I download both 720p and 1080p versions of TV shows and movies?

    I have iTunes set to download the 1080p versions of movies and TV shows, but I still have a 2nd generation Apple TV that can only show 720p. How can I setup iTunes to download both HD versions? It also seems that when I have iTunes in the Cloud turned on, it doesn't allow me to redownload any of my HD content again.
    I also need the 720p version because of the older versions of the iPod I still have.

  • Does Mac Mail's "Quick Look URL" option for links prevent software from being downloaded onto my computer?

    I received an e-mail from a friend that had a suspicious looking link embedded in it. I did not navigate to the link in my web browser but I did do a "quick look" in Mac Mail. Does this open me up to any vulnerability? If so, is there a way to check to see if any malicious software and/or viruses were downloaded onto my MacBook?
    Thanks!

    Hi Dave,
    Welcome to the Discussions.
    It's possible (more likely the drive is dead) that the drive's directory is damaged. If that's the case, Disk Warrior may be able to fix it. At $80US for Disk Warrior, I'd be more inclined to replace the drive. If your patient and can wield a few small tools, you can replace it yourself.

    How did they do that?

  • How do I protect an image from being downloaded?

    I want to be in a position to prevent images from being downloaded from a muse site. Is this possible?
    David

    Widgets are available from a couple different sources that disable right-click mouse functions on a web page. That prevents someone from right clicking an image and choosing "save image" options. Unfortunately nothing can prevent someone from grabbing a web page image using other methods, like taking screen shots or hacking the web browser's cache.
    Other alternatives:
    • Watermark your images using visible and/or invisible methods.
    • Limit the resolution and quality levels of the images you upload.
    • Bake other visual elements or user interface elements into the images, making visitor saved images either incomplete or just screwed up. They don't get a pristine image to try selling off to some stock photography company.

  • How can I stop music and movies from being automatically deleted from my phone and saved on the cloud? I've just tried to watch a movie on my 2 hour commute, but yet AGAIN it has been removed. I do NOT want to spank all of my data allowance

    How can I stop music and movies from being automatically deleted from my phone and saved on the cloud? I've just tried to watch a movie on my 2 hour commute, but yet AGAIN it has been removed. I do NOT want to spank all of my data allowance downloading it again, especially because (believe it or not) I added it to my phone because that's precisely where I wanted it!! Any help much appreciated

    FYI I had to put this link into firefox to reply - because **** back safari just wouldn't register my clicks to any of the links on the post... Despite reloadeing and even restarting my computer. Totally annoying and a massive pain in the ***.
    But in terms of my initial query; thanks for responding. But no, this is NOT the cause of the problem. I have auto sync and sync over wifi activated, but have also selected manually manage music and videos. Plus, all of my music and videos are on my macbook, absolutely all of it, so if it my phone was syncing with my macbook everything would still be on the phone. Life would be peachy if my phone jsut copied everything that was on my macbook, but unfortuantely it keeps deleting tracks for no apparent reason.
    Any thoughts greatly welcomed, because at the moment i can only conclude that my iphone is crap.

    My download was interrupted. When it resumed, it resulted in a double download. How can I prevent from being billed twice?

    If your phone is locked with a passode, photos & videos, in your camera roll, cannot be imported to a computer, unless that computer was previously used with the phone, while the passcode was in effect.

  • I downloaded and bought a movie from iTunes on my iPad and now want the same movie on my MacBook Pro but its not offering me to download it, it giving me the options of buying it which I already did. How I get the movie onto my MacBook?

    I downloaded and bought a movie from iTunes on my iPad and now want the same movie on my MacBook Pro but its not offering me to download it, it giving me the options of buying it which I already did. How I get the movie onto my MacBook?

    You can connect the iPad to your Mac's iTunes and do File > Devices > Transfer Purchases, that should copy it over to the Movies part of your library.
    Depending upon what country that you are in, and whether the film studio allows it, you might also be able to re-download it on your Mac via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page.

  • How do I prevent files from being backed up to iCloud and iTunes?

    I have created the ios app using adobe AIR16 and flash cc. After submission of my aap into aapstore, I received a message from Apple with the following message –
    From Apple
    2.23 - Apps must follow the iOS Data Storage Guidelines or they will be rejected.
    By using xcode we can prevent files from being backed up to icloud and itunes, but i want to know that  what is the way to achieve this by using AIR. While creating an explicit app id from apple developer account , i am not enabling icloud support.

    Within AIR you can set the File.preventBackup property to true on a directory or file to prohibit that content from being backed up to the cloud:
    File - Adobe ActionScript® 3 (AS3 ) API Reference
    This is all you need to call when you first create the folder or file to have it work with iOS backup guidelines.
