Apple Adds 'Download Later' Option to Large Purchases on Mobile iTunes Store

Apple is very, very talented in the area of making it easy to buy stuff. They're geniuses at that.

Nice work..


Their s no raeson that a user cannot stream movies.

Apple TV does this, so this must prve they have enough bandwidth.

Who wants to wait an hoir just to watch a movie?

Adding this, not instead of, but in addition to, would be good.

Finally! It was really annoying having to cancel all of my pending downloads every time I loaded iTunes.

LMAO, I had this appear a few days ago and though it was because I had too many waiting (180 items in my list to be downloaded). Glad to know this is the norm now. Hate it that it tried to download everything I redeem in iTunes no matter what, so this is definitely great for me.

You can 'stream' in iTunes while it is still downloading.

It's about time. When I redeem an iTunes digital download and it starts to download the only
Way I can even stop and delete it is to use ifile. This is a godsend. Is it only available on 6.1.3
Though?

MAC is working good

I have used the mac but it's working very well without any issue, if you faced that error so need to clear the cookies and restart the device. After that try to purchasing than they allow for purchasing as well downloading.

How this is just now a standard five years later is beyond words. And it's still not available for app purchases?

Is this Apple's Big Release this year? So long Tim

It would be nice to add this functionality to apps! I don't have WiFi access at work, but if I see an app >50MB that I want to install from work, I have to wait. Even though I have an unlimited data plan! Ugh...

That would be the best use of this, but the not applicable to apps seems like a strange move from Apple.

Steve Jobs would've never allowed this...





jokes aside, why the hell doesn't this work the same with apps?
