Turn off itunes store download alerts?
This is driving me crackers.
Everytime I download something on our main computer (that our iPhones synch with) every device gets an alert from the iTunes store along the lines of 'You can turn on automatic downloads for this device etc etc'.
So everytime I download a song everone in the family rings me saying whats this alert, what am I supposed to do?....
How on earth do you turn this stupid & annoying 'helpful' function off?
Well I would tell you to go to preferences, STORE, and uncheck all the auto downloads boxes but it STILL bugs you relentlessly to SIGN IN for auto downloads even though you turn it off in preferences AND on the iphone in settings, store. SO........ let's hope someone figures a way to fix it or I'm going back to IOS4 and old itunes, and yes Apple I know how to.......

Can't turn off iTunes Store or Match
I have recently upgraded to iTunes 10.5.2. Now, every thime I open iTunes, it tries to conect to "ax.init.itunes.apple.com". I don't want to use the iTunes Store. I want to stop all connections to the store. But, I can't find a way of stopping iTunes for connecting to the Store !
I have tried the various options in Parental Controls and Advanced but no luck. Really odd that Parental Controls don't work - they should prevent all functionality including connections which could cost money !
Even worse, I'm now stuck with iTunes Match in my iTunes list and I don't want that either. There seems to be no option for hiding it.
How can I get rid of these pesky things ?
Thanks.
GarryNo error message is coming up, the screen just stays on the title screen that says "iTunes Store," etc as if it is frozen.
With those symptoms, I'd check the following document:

Good afternoon. I want to turn off itunes match subscription and cancel the remaining balance on my account to change the country store as I do this?
You will need to contact Apple by call to gain the appropriate support directly. There can be significant issues in changing country.
First step is always to ensure that you have a secure backup of all of your Songs. -
How do I turn off "your recent download with your apple id" emails? Annoyingly often and they fill up my inbox. Is there a way to unsubscribe from these?
It is in Settings>iTunes & App Stores to change automatic downloads. But it isn't your device that needs to be changed if you are the one that made the download. He needs to turn off the setting for automatic downloads on his phone. I'm guessing here, but you are all sharing the same Apple ID?

Can I turn off iTunes match on one computer only?
I have iTunes installed on two laptops, one at home and one at school (I'm a teacher). iTunes match has worked great for my home computer and iPad, BUT...I do not want my music on the school laptop. Is there a way to turn off iTunes match on one machine only? I thought I had turned it off, but when I went to add some audio books for school it said it was adding them to iTunes match and now the books show up on all my devices.
To be clear, I want to keep iTunes match for my personal laptop and iPad, but would like to turn it off on the school laptop.Hi,
Yes. To turn off match Go to menu > store > and select turn off itunes match.
To turn it back on you need to turn on from same point but you will be asked to sign in and add this computer.

How can I turn OFF iTunes Match on ALL devices?
I am in Australia and just paid AUD34.99 last night to buy iTunes Match and have had so much trouble with it since I want to turn it OFF on all devices. Ideally I'd love a refund but understand that terms and conditions may limit this - though am really disappointed that it simply does not seem to work despite me following everything to set it up correctly.
In theory, it's a great service and I'm sure in the long run will be useful but for now until I could figure it out I wanted to just turn it OFF on both my iphone & Macbook pro - have done this in settings - music - turn off on iPhone...but still ON! Also on Macbook, have turned off in store - turn off - and it's disappeared off my store options - BUT IS STILL ON in Itunes!
It's not only the hours of my time and frustration at trying to do simple things, for example had some friends around today and trying to just play music on my mac, and it kept skipping all over the place (i.e. would not finish a track, go to the next one, then skip through several on shuffle meaning a long gap between songs). It also does not find a lot of music in my library that is definitely already in iTunes store, meaning that it is using my valuable upload limit for a lot of songs.
Overall, what the app promises and what it actually delivers in practice is very disappointing and frustrating. I realise it's just recently launched so may still have some issues, but I don't want to pay for a service that doesn't work properly for me - and then not even be able to turn it off? Can anyone help or have had similar experiences? I've emailed Apple customer support but meanwhile wanted to try and get this sorted asap.ok after another hour of playing around i might have half solved this...I turned match off via my account within the store which didn't seem to work properly, but then found another option to "turn off" via the store dropdown in the menu bar which does seem to have worked on my mac (but not yet on my iphone so still need to figure this out). Now I have turned it off on my mac it seems to offer me the option to buy it again - but as i've already paid for the year I don't know if there is the option to turn on again if I choose to later?

How can I turn off itunes match on my phone without losing all my playlists?
I have itunes match but want to keep all my music on my iPhone because I travel and don't always have access to the internet. I upgrades to ios8 and now it seems if I turn off iTunes Match in my phone it get rid of all my playlists. How can I stop that from happening. I want my music, and playlist on my phone.
To keep playlists on the phone, create them on the phone
To keep music on the phone, download the tracks before turning off Match.
But turning off Match isn't really necessary. Just turn off Show all music in the music app settings, or do not attempt to play a track that has a cloud icon (i.E. isn't downloaded). -
I just bought two Alan Vega songs and while trying to purchase an other I accedentaly pressed the buy Itunes plus version. Now I can't buy any songs I want in the non Plus format. Is there a way to turn Itunes Plus off?
In case the "Solved" is erroneous or for the sake of anyone else reading, to turn off iTunes Plus, log into your iTunes Store account, click on the "Manage iTunes Plus" button, and uncheck the check box.

Hi Scott Waters,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities! I understand that you want to turn off iTunes Match on your Apple computer. You can turn if off under Store in the Menu Bar. The following article has information for how to turn iTunes Match on, the option to turn it off will be in the same Store drop down menu.

Furthermore, after turning off iTunes Match on your computer, I suggest going into your Account Information in iTunes and turning off the Auto-Renew subscription for iTunes Match if you have decided that you no longer want it. That information and instructions can be found in this article.
iTunes Store: Subscribing to iTunes Match
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4914
To turn off Auto-Renew for iTunes Match
iTunes Match will automatically renew your subscription at the end of your 1 year subscription by default.
To turn off Auto-Renew for iTunes Match from a computer
Open the latest version of iTunes.
Choose Store > Sign In.
Enter your Apple ID and password and click Sign In.
Choose Store > View My Account. You may be asked to re-enter your Apple ID password.
