How can i delete a corrupted file that will not download?

I recently purchased a song on itunes and i keep getting a message that tells me to try redownloading due to the song being a corrupt file. When i attempt to redownload the song, i get another error message that tells me the download could not be completed. At this point i just want to delete the download, but since it was never actually downloaded it wont go away. Everytime i open my itunes i get the error message and it continues to pop up every ten minutes. Please help!

Highlight the said file on the Music section of your Library, and press the Backspace key. When asked whether you want to move to the trash, say yes. Then you may download it again looking in Your Account in the purchased section.

How can I delete a purchase (Mavericks) that has not downloaded from my account?

How can I delete a purchse that has not yet downloaded (Mavericks) from my account? I contacted App Store support and my responder claims to have deleted Mavericks from myaccoount. He didn't; it is still there, under the purchases tab-in the cloud. Thank you.

Hi Dah-veed
Thanks for your response. But it doesn't make sense. Mavericks wouldn't download, and although I decided that I wasn't ready for it yet (incompatibility issues), I would like to be ale to get it (OSX) in the future, and if it shows as 'purchased', I won't be able to 'start over' fresh.

HT1657 How do I delete a rental movie that will not load on my iPad

How do I delete a rental movie that does not load

Have you tried swiping across the progress bar and see of a delete button comes up that way?
Or try Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Videos. If the movie appears in the setting, try the edit button in the upper right corner.
You can also try resetting the iPad and then see if you can delete the download.
Reset 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 if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

How can I delete an automatic update that won't download?

Hi,
I've just intalleld OS X Mavericks only to find that the iMovie upgrade will not download because my vido card is not the right one (too old). I was told I cannot replace a video card.
What I really want to do is delete the upgrade from the App Store so the red number 1 is not forever in the way, bothering me. I found one solution which doesn't work because the upgrade will not even try to download, the 'can't do it' dialog comes up before I can press any option and x keys.
Can somebody please advise. As my Mac gets older, I figure this will be a growing problem and I can't be the only one who cannot afford a new compj\uter every couple of years.

Deleting the App Store app from the Dock is not really a solution though is it? This issue has nothing to do with whether you have auto-updates on or not either.
The problem is worse than just the red badge on the app's icon in the Dock, the problem is every time you go to the App Store Updates section to manually install updates -- to other apps, OS X, or whatever, that **** iMovie app is still sitting there waiting to be updated too. You can't really use the "Update All" button now because that will also try to update iMovie, again.
Surely there must be some way to remove the iMovie app from the Updates section of the App Store? I thought hiding/removing it from the Purchases section of the App Store would do that, but it doesn't. It looks like a bug in that the App Store doesn't realise the update is incompatible with the hardware until after you click the Update button. It should know up front that it isn't compatible with this machine and not show it.

How do I delete a desktop icon that will not delete?

I have ab Excel ICON on my destop that will not delete and cannot be moved.....
Any ideas? I think Excel is corrupted, but the rest of the functions work okay....
Thanks all

Better yet, I'll just give you the command and tell you how to enter it.
Open terminal by opening up Launchpad and clicking on Utilities and then Terminal.
Type this
rm -R Desktop/NAME_OF_FILE
replace NAME_OF_FILE with the the name of the file (including caps) and press Tab then Enter
If that doesn't work, let me know

HT1620 I have been trying to download iOS 6.1 on my ipad. It takes between 6-8 hours to download and after about 4-5 hours it send me an error message and cannot download. How can I delete this downloa? it will not let me download any apps

I have been trying to download iOS 6.1 on my ipad. After its been downloading for about 4 hours, I receive a message that there is an error and cannot download. How can I delete this download from my settings? I tried downloading other apps, but it will not let me unless I download iOS 6.1

What iOS are you currently running?
If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.1. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.

If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily. Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).

How can I salvage an iPad Mini that will not restart, reset or respond to Recover phase via iTunes and is not responding to any functions and will not access Home? Thanks

I have an iPad mini that will not respond and is non functional. It continues to intermittently try to automatically restart, access home page without success. It will not accept normal charge. I have tried to manually restart, reset and have been unsuccessful. It will not allow a Recover attempt via iTunes as well. Do you have any suggestions before I consider a replacement? Thanks.

Hello RC MD,
It seems you are unable to restore your iPad to factory settings, and it is not responding to power. Based on the information you have provided, it appears your iPad may need to be serviced. The following link should help you get started with the process and has links with additional information on topics such as warranty and service pricing, battery replacement, and express replacement service.

How Can I delete all the tracks that are not in my Itunes Library?

I am runnig out of disk space and i just want to have more space. My files are located everywhere on my mac and I saw that I have a lot of songs that are in my itunes music folder and the same are in an other folder. I want to keep everything that is in Itunes and delete the rest out of my mac!
Thanks

You can select some files in iTunes then right click consolidate.
Then delete the original files not in the iTunes media folder.
This way you don't have to do it all at once.
Note that when you add files to iTunes, they are copied into the iTunes media folder so anything you added in the past is already in the iTunes media folder. Consolidating wont do anything to those. Likely all you need to do is delete the original.

How can I create a jar file that will run automatically on double click

all the jars I created run only from the command-line.
how can I make it run by double-click on it?

First you will need to associate .jar files with the javaw.exe program in order to just be able to double click on the jar and run it from within a windows explorer application. Next you will need to set the main class attribute of the manifest file. My understanding is that the value of this attribute is used by the launcher to know which class to load. In other words, which is your main application class. To specify this attribute open your manifest file in a text editor. You will find this file located within the jar at META-INF/MANIFEST.MF. Then, add the line,
"Main-Class:<relative path to the main class>" However, remember not to add the .class extension to the end of the class name.
In Windows 2000 you can associate jar files with javaw by finding a jar file in Windows Explorer and right clicking it. This will give you a context menu which should have an Open With... option (if you are not using Windows 2000 and don't see the 'open with' menu item, try holding down the shift button while right click on the file). Select the Open With... option, then, when the dialog appears highlight javaw and select the "Always use this program to open these files" checkbox. When you hit the OK button you should have all your jar files associated with the javaw process.
Once you've done this, you should be able to double click on your jar file and run your application.

Daniel Walsh

How can I update my iPod classic that will not mount on iMac computer?

I can't update my iPod classic from my iTunes on my iMac computer with OSX 10.9. It will not mount or be recognized by iTunes version 12.1.
I plug it into the USB port and it charges, gives the "Do not disconnect" symbol but the computer does not recognize or mount the iPod at all. I haven't been able to update the music for years. I have four other devices associated with my Apple ID for automatic downloads. Is it too antiquated to upload any of my music from my computer to it anymore?

Ahh! The plot thickens!
I went thru the console and read the error logs. It appears that the .ipsw file does load.....I think. It's been years since I spoke computer....
Here is what I got after double clicking the .ipsw file and iTunes opened:

How do I make a new file that will not have to be rendered again?

This is a little complicated but I've tried everything and still can't find a solution.
Here's what I'm doing:
1. Record footage with my Canon HV 30 in 1080 30p mode.
2. I import it into Final Cut Studio 6. Plays back fine.
3. I add chroma key and garbage matts to get rid of green screen. Now it has to be rendered to play back at all.
4. So, I'm trying to make a new movie out of the footage with the chroma key so that I can then import it and play it back without having to render every time a move something.
I know it has to be exported in the same format as the FC file in order to do this, but when I do that I don't get an alpha channel so the places where the green screen was is now black instead of see through.
I tried saving in animation and "no compression" with the alpha channel but then it won't play back without the rendering again.
Am I asking to do the impossible?
Thanks. And I'm sort of new to this so please keep it simple.

Hey there, wireduck! There are two ways to render out keyed footage.
If you export to animation codec (choose millions of colors + ),
I believe you need to export from an UNrendered FCP sequence.
So make sure your sequence has the little red or orange lines, then export.
This should produce a file with a good alpha channel.
The problem is that the animation codec is big and processor-intensive,
as is your other HDV footage. So it might work, but you'll get bogged down
at some future point.
A cool trick is to convert the entire sequence to the DVCPRO HD codec.
It's really easy for your computer to digest, and it looks great.
Now here's the trick to export the alpha channel as a separate file.
On your keyed clip, after the other effects (color smoothing, key),
add the Channel Swap filter, and set red, blue, and green from alpha.
By doing this, you are making the RGB channels display your alpha channel.
Export this (DVCPRO HD) and name it the same as your clip,
but with something like "-alpha" at the end so you can keep track of it.
Import it.
In your sequence (sequence settings DVCPRO HD, yes?), place the original
footage--with all the keying and channel effects disabled--on V3.
Set its Composite Mode to Travel Matte - Luma.
Directly below that, on V2, perfectly aligned to the original clip,
place your -alpha clip with normal composite mode.
Now put your background on V1.
You should see the composite working, and three tracks of DVCPRO HD
should play on your computer OK without needing to render.
Just keep the original clip (on V3) and its alpha version (on V2)
perfectly in sync, and you can edit and add other effects.
This should work for you. Good luck!

How can I delete an old file from my library on iTunes

Occasionally I have to replace PDF manuals with ones that have been updated. But after I sync the new file the old one remains on my Mac itunes library. How can I delete the old file? So far all I do is deselect the old file but it's still there. Sooner or later there will be more old files then current ones making it hard to manage.
Thanks in advance.

You can do this with or without the iPad connected to your Mac.
Launch iTunes on the Mac. Click on Books under the Library heading. Click on the PDFs. Then click on the PDF that you want to delete in order to select it, and go to Edit>Delete and follow the on screen prompts.
if you are using iTunes 11 and do not have the sidebar enabled, and wish to do so, go to View>Show sidebar or use the keyboard shortcut OPTION+Command+S.
If you do not want to enable the sidebar, the library items can be accessed in the button in the upper left corner of the iTunes window.
