Q: How long will I have to keep clicking "Download" over and over again?

I am trying to update various software via the AppStore updates and I *think* the currently updating software is iTunes 11.4

 

I keep getting a dialogue box which says the following...

 

Download for free?

This item will be added to your Purchases and will be

available even if your Family Sharing status changes.

     <Cancel> <Download>

 

I keep clicking the 'Download' button because (a) Apple neglects to say what "this item" is, and (b) I don't want to lose whatever "this item" is. It may be any one of the hundreds of iOS apps I have downloaded over the years. Who knows?

 

So far it has given me this dialogue box over a hundred times, and no sign of it stopping and moving on!

 

How long should I keep putting up with this?
