Hi Becca,

Look in iTunes preferences under "Store" there is a box "Automatically  
download prepurchased content"  that box should not
be checked.

I was thinking of you today, I found a program for both Mac and  
Windows that will automatically turn your computer on and off
at any time.  You can configure your system to load iTunes when the  
computer turns on, I think you put  iTunes or a "short cut" in the  
Startup Folder.

C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Startup

Here is the URL

I bought the Mac version because I use a Mac mini to record TV shows  
for later viewing and sometime they come on at 4 a.m.  The mini
turns itself on at 4am and off at 5am.  It saves electricity over  
leaving my machine on all night.
