Can't Disable Automatic Downloads - Prefs Always Reset!

Hey, Mr. Zee Dub (or anyone else who knows how), would you mind walking us through the steps necessary to remove a device association? I'd be most grateful.

Thanks.

How do you do that? I've got the same problem…

Sign in to your iTunes Store account (Store menu > View my account).

On the Account Information page, look in the iTunes in the Cloud section andclick "Manage devices". On the next page, click the "Remove" button for the device you want to remove.

Jim, thank you so much for taking the time to help.

I am running iTunes 10.5.1. On my account page I see "iTunes in the Cloud", as you mentioned. I see no "Manage devices" button to click on - instead, I see only "Learn More", which takes me to a page where I either purchase a subscription or click on "No Thanks", which brings me to my Music Library.

I've looked around for another place the "Manage devices" button might be found, but without success.

If anything else comes to you, Jim, or someone else, I'd be very interested in hearing from you. Thanks again.

I have been getting the same problem I've gone into the settings as described and have 3 devices that are linked to my Apple ID (iPhone, iPad & MBP) I want to keep all these devices connected to my ID but want the warning pop up box appearing everytime I launch iTunes?

All I have is "Learn More" in the iCloud area.....no fix for me yet.

I, too, was getting that same annoying dialogue box asking me to sign in to get my automatic downloads. I seem to have gotten rid of it this way: open iTunes/preferences/advanced, then hit the box in the middle that says "reset warnings".

Good luck.

Great! So glad I could help. Now let's hope the fix sticks.

Thank you very, very much!

ASame problem, multiple messages to sign in to authorize automatic downloads (not choice to not automatically download?) and begins to download "Cleek man of forty faces", a Librivox book I deleted weeks ago.

I notice there is a message I have downloads waiting, no way to review these and decide if I want them?

I also do not have other devices or "manage" in cloud...

I tried the reset...

wish Itunes would give us the choice, like, do you want to download whatever we decide you should download?

or not?

this is even creepier... clicked download those downloads waiting? they are books I purchased years ago, downloading again.... what's up?

Resetting for me doesn't work.

I am tired of Apple forcing me to do what they thing I want to do.

There are particular reasons I don't want to download everything to certain computers, especially my work computer.

Hey group. I'm having the same problem only opposite.

I just got my MBPr last week and have spent most of my time on it tweaking it to my liking and creating usability and fully unleashing my iPhone 4S.

I desire to have my automatic downloads enabled, and have turned the option on on my phone.

However, when I go to iTunes preferences and try to enable the option for "Apps, Music, Books" and check all three boxes, hit ok, and then verify it's completed...going back into preferences shows the boxes once again unchecked. :-/

Has anyone else had this problem too?

I'm running the latest software of Mountain Lion 10.8.1 and iTunes 10.5.1 (I think).

I was on the phone with AppleCare for an hour yesterday and am calling them back this evening.

Any suggestions? Or might the above solution work, removing my devices and such and starting from scratch?

Thanks for any helpful feedback!!
