Q: How do I disable automatic downloads in the new itunes?

I have th latest i-Tunes for Windows (as of 1/15/13 or so) on two computers and I can't figure out how to stop automatic downloads. I'm on satellite internet and it's eating up all of my bandwidth. Any suggestions? Thank you for any help!

IMHO the latest iTunes *****! the previous version was great, user-friendly, and I knew where everything was, the new version drives me crazy!

In iTunes go into Edit > Preferences, and on the Store tab you should be able to turn automatic downloads on/off

OK, I should have been clearer - where do I find Edit on the new I-tunes? I know where it is on the previous versions, but cannot find it on the newest version. Thanks so much for you help!

If you press Alt-E then the Edit drop-down menu should open (just pressing the Alt button should get the menu options to appear without one of them actually opening)
