iTunes: Disable automatic downloads

If you deactivate automatic downloads in iTunes, purchased content with your Apple ID is not downloaded immediately. We show where you can set this.

Windows: Click on the menu item "Edit" in the upper left corner of iTunes and select the "Settings". If you don't see the point, open the settings with the key combination [Ctrl] + [, ].
Mac: Start iTunes and click the button of the same name in the top left of the window. Select the "Settings" there.
Go to the "Store" tab above and find the "Automatic Downloads" category. Deactivate all content that you do not want to download here.
If you also deactivate the option "Always search for available downloads automatically", you will no longer be notified of the downloads.
With the button "OK" your settings are saved.
