How do I get rid of an app that has started down loading and won't stop

I had app crime scene downloaded then on its own it started downloading and just keeps running can't stop pitot get into unload

I've had similar issues in the past with downloading an app that appears to be eternally downloading and never finish.  What I did was delete the app from my device, (hold your finger till the icons jiggle, etc...) then go back to the app store and start the process over.  That has worked for me.
Good luck!

  • How do I get rid of an app that has an automatic weekly charge

    How do I get rid of an app that that I don't want that I'm being charged for automatically each week?

    There are instructions on this page for managing and stopping auto-renewing subscriptions : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4098
    If you also want delete the app from your iPad (you will also need to stop the subscription, just deleting an app won't do that) : press and hold any of the apps and after a couple of seconds or so they should start to shake. Then press the 'x' in the left corner to delete the ones that you don't want, and when you've finished deleting press the home button so as to stop the shaking. If you don't get the 'x' on any of the apps that you've downloaded then check that Settings > General > Restrictions > Deleting Apps isn't set 'off'

  • How do I get rid of an app that won't quit? scanner problem

    I ust tried to install a driver for my POS epson Perfection 1260. the app doesn't work with 10.4.8 and when i tried to delete their 'epson scan monitor' app I'm told it can be deleted because it's in use. I cant force quit because it doesn't show up as an option to quit. any ideas on how to get rid of the app that wont let it self be thrown away?
    also any reccomendations on a sscanner that is designed and is fully functional with 10.4.8?
    Thanks for the help

    Hi Brian, Scanner drivers and their add ons can be problematic. I used to have HP's driver installed which played havoc with sleeping - the computers', not mine
    The epson scan monitor has probably been installed into /Library/StartupItems which is why it's telling you its in use.
    Try deleting it from within Safe Boot or open Activity Monitor in Applications/Utilities and quit it from there before deleting it.
    I can vouch for The Hatter's recommendation, VueScan. It's a wonderful little lightweight app that doesn't insinuate itself into StartupItems and mess sleeping up.
    Good luck,
    Adrian

  • How can I get rid of McAfee SiteAdvisor that has installed itself on my Firefox browser screen?

    An uninvited McAfee message flashed up on my screen when I was on the net and I mistakenly clicked a button that installed the McAfee SiteAdvisor on my browser screen. I have tried to uninstall the McAfee program and to delete the files that McAfee has stored on my computer, but when I try to delete those files a box comes up saying that they cannot be deleted because they are either write protected or in use by another program.
    I do not want to have to read a McAfee SiteAdvisor bright green notice on the bottom corner of my computer screen every time I use Firefox. Does anyone know how to get rid of the files McAfee has stored on my computer? Thank you.

    I used to have McAfee site advisor on one machine last year. I do not remember major problems un-installing it presumably it uninstalled easily from the Windows XP control panel -> remove programs.
    I also seem to recall it created a long list of files possibly totalling in the GB range of memory use, if I remember correctly I had no problems in removing them.
    If you have McAfee security products on your computer you may need to be careful about what is uninstalled.

  • HT2534 How does one get reimbursed for an app that has been immediately deleted after download and open?

    Dear telwow,
    Apple did not do anything to solve this problem, they said I shoud apply to ITunes which I did. However, ITunes in Belgium does not even have a customer friendly call center, and they reply with standard info if you apply by e-mail which have no relevance to my problem. As I do not have hours to spend on the phone, I tasked my secretary to call Itunes many times. In the end, she found someone to look into the matter which took months.
    Simultaneously, I applied to VISA through my bank for fraud investigation. I had to cancel my credit card. In the end, VISA paid my money back and they said they will deal with ITunes. I received a new credit crad from VISA with a new number. I tried to use this new card in the ITunes but ITunes did not accept my card because in their system my name has been registered as if I have commited the fraud! This was again outrageus! I have complained about this to both Belgium and the USA Apple/ITunes, but no satisfactory answer was given. I am now using my wife's credit card to buy smth I want in ITunes. But because of my very unpleasant experience I am not buying much on ITunes store. I am also considering to quit Apple all together. This is unfortunate because I have been an apple fan until I had this experience.
    Many thanks for sharing your problem.

  • How do i get rid of a contact that has been deleted but still appears in the messages box

    I deleted a contact in my phone book but I noticed that when I go to send someone a text that person is still there and I sooo do not want to see that anymore...how do you delete that??

    The device remembers recently used items. If you deleted the contact and don't use it again the device will eventually forget that contact. Patience is the key here.

    Hello guys, I have a very rare issue with my Mac App Store application.
    Whenever I want to make an update of a piece of software that I've bought, Angry Birds apears as if I had it, when I haven't.
    The thing is, I want angry birds to desappear from my updates list taking in account that it does not belong to me.

    It's a scam. Close Safari, then re-open it.
    To prevent such pop-ups in future download and install GlimmerBlocker.
    It is not a good idea to publish your email address on a forum. I have asked the Hosts to remove it.

  • How do I get rid of an App stuck in waiting. I synced my iPad with my computer, booted my iPad, signed out and back in the store! Help!!

    How do I get rid of an app stuck in waiting? I have signed in and out of ITunes store and booted my iPad. I synced my iAd with my computer. I can't use the app or delete it! Thanks!

    If there are multiple apps trying to download at once, only one can download at a time and the rest say "Waiting" until it is then their turn. Try this. Double tap the icon of the Waiting app, and it should resume the download.
    How to Solve the Problem of An iPad App Download Stuck on “Waiting”
    http://ipadacademy.com/2012/06/how-to-solve-the-problem-of-an-ipad-app-download- stuck-on-waiting
    Another thing to try - Turn the iPad Off & then back ON.
    If that doesn't work:
    •  Log out of your iTunes store account.  Go to Settings > Store > Sign Out Then press the Home button.
    • Then press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously and don't release them when it brings up the Turn Off screen; keep holding them until the Apple logo appears.
    • After restart, the Waiting should be gone.
