There’s a new feature in iTunes to go along with some of the cloud functionality now rolling out. One part of that is basically syncing all of the pcs and devices when you buy something new. Automatic Downloads is how that is handled in iTunes (the computer-side).
But a side-effect nobody has mentioned that I can find, is that to turn all that on, you basically are turning off the prompt to login with your Apple account when you update or buy new apps. This is important to me so my kids can’t do something bad to my credit card if I accidentally leave my PC logged in. Up to now it prompts for those credentials for everything. But once I enabled Automatic Downloads that went away, and nothing I could find would turn it back on again. Suffice it to say Automatic Downloads are now disabled. I just wish I had back the time it took me to figure this out!
