Can you stop an app update that has already started downloading
I started an "update all" when I noticed it was recommended that you not download one of the updates. How can I stop this update now that it has started downloading (I have paused it)?

I'm actually quite mad about this. I do research, and I have a lot of "academic" science books on my Kindle app. All of my notes are lost (and I thought they were synced to Amazon's cloud).
I don't blame Apple, because the app works like it always did, except removing all of my books. But how stupid are the Amazon iOS programmers to have missed this.

How do I delete/stop an app update that has frozen?
An app I was updating has frozen. How do I delete or stop this update?
Try this first and see if the download resumes or if you can tap on the icon to resume the download.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
If that does not work and the app shows the "waiting" icon, give these a try.
Make sure that you do not have a stalled download in iTunes - a song or podcast .... if you have a download in there that did not finish, complete that one first. Only one thing can download at a time on the iPad so that could be what is causing the problem.
If that doesn't work - sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
Settings>iTunes & App Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Go back to Settings>iTunes & App Store>Sign in and then try to update again. Tap one waiting icon only if necessary to start the download stream.
You can also try deleting the waiting icons - tap and hold down on an icon until it wiggles - the tap the X on the icon to delete it. Then try to download again.
You can try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered.
If all else fails, download the updates or the apps in iTunes on your computer and then sync the content to your iPad. -
Can you get an app back that has been deleted
ididnt back up my phone yet and i had a video recorder app on my iphone and my 2 year old erased the app and i have now lost all the videos since she was born is there any way to get the app back or the vidoes that were recorded
If it's not in your iTunes library and you've not synced the phone, I'm afraid you can kiss this stuff goodbye. App data is stored in two places: on your phone, and in the iPhone backup. I was taking a chance that by re-downloading the app directly to your phone, the app data "might" re-appear...really depends on how the app was coded. But, that's not possible, given what you've posted.

Can you stop an article update once it's started?
Hi,
I've been updating the Properties on a number of Articles, and being a bit tired, I've accidentally selected the Update link rather than the Properties link. One of the articles has a video in it and rather than upload it again I just wanted to stop the update rather than have to sit through the whole upload. Unfortunately I couldn't find any way to stop it.
Does anyone have any suggestions other than the obvious ones of "more coffee" or "go to bed" :-)

In iMovie 11, how can you cut/paste a clip that has subtitles and actually have the subtitles get cut/pasted. When I try, the subtitles disappear into the void and I have to do the subtitling all over again.
If you think this is a bug, you can report it here:

Ho do I open a site in Muse that has already been downloaded from our server to my hardrive?
Muse can open .muse files only. Sites downloaded to your hardrive as HTML cannot be imported to Muse. Pages need to be designed in Muse in order to be saved as a Muse project that you can always publish to the web.

Can we roll back an activity that has already been checked-in?
Hi Friends,
I have created an activity,performed a few alterations and checked-in the activity.
Now i want to revert this activity so that i can cancel all my operations performed under this activity.
So is it possible to roll back an activity that has already been checked-in?
Please let me know.
Thanks and regards,
Chandrashekar.Hi,
As such you cant rollback an activated activity , what you can do is check out the source prior to that activity and then create a new activity and check in the source. Once this is done your previous code will be overridden.

how can you get your passcode off ipod when you can't remember the numbers?
Connect the iPod to its syncing computer and restore via iTunes. If iTunes asks for the passcode and you can't enter the passcode or you do not have the syncing computer, place the iPod in recovery mode and then restore. For recovery mode see:

How to stop downloading a podcast that has already started?
Hi, can someone please help me with this. I accidently started downloading a podcast i didn't want. How do i stop it?
There is a button to the right of the name that looks like a stop square with a blue ring forming around it. Click that and it will stop downloading. If you swipe it and select delete it will kill the data (be warned tho, it will also kill that podcast selection and I don't know how to get it back!)

How to restart a program that has already started?
On my previous cable TV system, I could restart a program after it had already started all the way back to the beginning, to see the whole program. How can I do this with FIOS?
Thanks.tns wrote:
I had only heard that Cablevision was doing this with its Virtual DVR.
Essentially with Verizon FIOS you can only restart on a DVR what the DVR has in its buffer. If it one of the tuners happened to be tuned to that station (even if the DVR was off), you can backup to the beginning of the program if its still in the buffer. One way to see if this is possible, without rewinding, is to hit record, then look in your DVR recordings and select the program.
Some days later you might find a program in the VOD section. For some channels, e.g. movie channels, it may be already in VOD.
No. I don't mean with the DVR. Let's say I turn on a program at 9:17PM but it started at 9 PM. Is there a way I can re-start the program so I can watch it from the beginning? My cable company had a way to do this. Does FIOS? -
Can you stop loading app midstream IOS6?
I'm one of the last holdouts for not going to IOS 7 and I had one app I REALLY don't want to update to new OS7 "look and feel". However, I hit update by mistake and have paused....hoping it will stop the update eventually. Is there any way in IOS6 that I can stop that update?

How can you cancel an App Update?
Help!
For about the 3rd time, something quite aggravating has happened when I have attempted to update some of the apps on my iPod Touch.
I manually go through and choose the 'Update' option for the Apps that I want to update. Well- as a few times before- ALL THE APPS switch to an 'Updating' status, and nothing I have tried has worked to cancel ALL Updates to start over. Whenever I do anything to interrupt the Updates, it resumes as soon as I am connected again.
I have a 32Gb iPod Touch, with a proverbial buttload of apps. And most of the updates I choose NOT to install because I have no problems with the current version, and there are no changes made that I need/want. Also- I have had quite of few apps START behaving badly AFTER I update them,. So if it aint broke- don't fix it.
Does anyone have any ideas that might help me? Surely I'm not the only one experiencing this.
So- THANK YOU for taking the time to read this- and doubly so if you know of anything I might try!
GodSpeed & Happy Life To You,
