itunes
I would let iTunes download the iOS 9.3.4 update, but it's already been downloaded & installed. And when iTunes tries to download the update again, it can't. It tries for several minutes, then stops the entire process–and I don't get my Restore.
I've deleted .plist files associated with iTunes and it hasn't helped. Is there any way to restore my iPad without launching this futile attempt at a download?
iMac mid-2010 running El Capitan 10.11.5, iTunes 12.4.3.1
Thanks
you should be able to swipe from left to right along the item to get a delete button. The same way you used to have to delete on the iPhone before they added in multi-item delete.
No. The built in player doesn't do downloads (which would also bypass the parental controls and ratings the app is intended to enforce if set). You only get the App Store to pick apps that do this (there are numerous that do this) but they store the downloads in their own "sandbox" - not the iTunes music store.
The only non-jailbroken App I know of that injects music or movies into the main "sandboxes" is the iTunes App Store app which doesn't really go for arbitrary movies or mp3.
If, however, you are jailbroken there are numerous apps that can inject music into your library.

Figured this out. Logged out of iTunes store, logged back in with second account. It demanded to download the update once, I assented, it failed, and it finally abandoned the idea. iPad restored.
