How may one cancel the download of an update that was started by having actuated the "Check for Updates" button in the "About Firefox" window, please? If possible please cover all platforms, Mac, Windows, Linux, although the first mentioned is what currently applies to my circumstances.
Thank you.
Such a download is usually saved in an updates or updated folder in the Firefox program/application folder.
You can delete this folder to cancel the download.
If files already have been downloaded then remove the files in the updates and updates\0 folder.

Does the Creative Cloud app on Mac have to launch at login to check for updates?
I don't really care to have the Creative Cloud app on my Mac running all the time. I don't use any of the features for it other than to update apps.
If I UNcheck "Launch at login"....will I still get notified of updates?
-KevinI certainly didn't have the Application Manager running all the time in CS6. Adobe must have had a background process checking for updates because in CS6 where there was an update, I would get the update icon in my menubar.
What I'm wondering now is.....does CC have a similar process that will notify me of updates? I don't want to have to manually launch the Creative Coud app just to check.

Its not telling you to update your iPad, its telling you you need to download a recent version itunes on your computer.
Go here to download the newest version of iTunes.

No way to uninstall only to restart with add ons disabled. Did something not update from 3.5 ?
Did you see a Firefox icon in the top left corner? If so, click on it and the Menu Bar will appear. If you want to have the Menu Bar shown instead of the icon, you can CHECK the Menu Bar and it'll stay on.
To find the Add-ons list: Tools > Add-ons and the lists of your add-ons and plug-ins are there.

I'm not always able to 'catch' the update notification popup when it happens, and I do not wish to allow automatic updates without my approval. I have a rather 'sensitive' internet situation. Would it be possible to add a button under the updates tab to allow us to manually check for updates please? This would greatly help my situation.
Thank you for your time
BasemanMaybe what you called AppMenu is labeled differently as I cannot find that. And yes, the menu bar is visible. And the help menu only lists Help Contents, Troubleshooting Information, What's New, Release Notes, Restart With Add-ons disables, & About Thunderbird.
If I click Tools, then Options, then Advanced I see the Update tab. In this tab is where one should find a button labeled 'check for updates'. I do not see that. My only options are:
- Automatically Check For Updates
---Thunderbird
---Installed Add-ons
-When Updates To Thunderbird Are Found
---Ask Me What I Want To Do
---Automatically Download And Install The Update
-----Warn Me If This Will Disable Any Of My Add-ons
"Show Update History" button
-Use Background Service To Install Updates
I've attached a screen shot of this menu -
Hi everyone,
I have an imac and had the update for Thunderbolt Firmware 1.2 ready on my app store to install. However, when I went to update it, my app store just keeps saying 'checking for updates' for the past two hours. I'm not sure if this is part of the Thunderbolt update?
I know it originally warns you the computer will restart and a grey screen will appear with a progress bar, but I've had none of that. Just the 'checking for updates' message constantly going.
Does anyone know how long this update takes and is this normal?
If I click on the update for Thunderbolt again it comes up with a greyed out 'waiting' message to the left.
Please help ...
Thanks in advance.Ok, it seemed I could still click on the thunderbolt update so it was never going to do anything. I force closed the app store and now it's showing 1 update available like it was (for the thunderbolt). Looks like the app store was just stuck trying to check for updates.
I'll try again another time :-) -
How can one cancel an iTunes purchase after download has started
How can one cancel an iTunes (movie) purchase after download has started but not completed
The reply from cor-el assumes that the question was about an ordinary download, managed by the "Downloads" panel interface. A Firefox update does its downloading (before installation) with a different interface panel. I do not have a screen-capture of the actual panel in that it's appearance happened a few days ago and our final approach was to suspend the automatic download (note that that had been started in error), and then to do all the manual steps we usually would do for a deliberately, manually-started, update. But the "hanging in mid-air" update forced us to do that update in a way and at a time that we ordinarily would not do it.
I still contend that the Firefox update progress panel (whatever it is labelled) does *'''NOT*''' have any obvious cancellation interface, not even the "x" noted above. (... and if it *only* had an "x", in my opinion that would not be a sufficiently obvious interface as compared to having a "Cancel" button.)
I am replying in this thread on behalf of "shepdog" as I am our local desktop support for the particular Macintosh. Please consider this reply as a mark that the reply from cor-el, while it was a correct answer, was not an answer to the particular question that was asked, i.e., "Not Helpful". -
I started to download from software update and decided I don't want the items after the download had begun. How can I cancel a download? I don't want to just pause it, I want it to GO AWAY. I don't want it to resume any time ever.
Hello cranky71,
Unrelated, for anyone curious. The following link may help to solve your problem.
Mac App Store: Buy, download, and install apps

How may one add cover art in iTunes 11, for a CD imported to the library?
How may one add more than one images?I understand what you mean - I too, would like to see some variability in the 'default'. Besides having a single default, I would step that up to a default that changes with genre and media: ie. I could see using a sax for Jazz; a microphone for a Podcast, etc.
I don't have the answer to your question yet, but I think I'm going to crack open the iTunes package to see what default images there are embedded in there. -
How do I cancel a download in firefox private browsing mode?
Hi. When I download something in private browsing mode, I understand that it doesn't appear in download window.
How do I cancel a download without closing the private window?
I don't want to close all windows because I have several tabs opened and it will be really cumbersome to close all tabs and trying to open all of them again just so that I can cancel one download.
Details of my system is as following.
Name Firefox
Version 24.7.0
User Agent Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; rv:24.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/24.0
Thanks.Note that Firefox 24.8.0 is the current ESR release (click Show: Firefox 24).
*https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/organizations/all.html
That should work with the ESR version as well and while in a Private Browsing mode tab/window you get the about:downloads page in a tab in that window and if you are in a non-private mode tab you get the Downloads folder in the Library by default, but the about:downloads page shows the downloads made in normal mode.
I can toggle the state of about:downloads tab with the Private Tab extension to switch between the two modes and see their content change.

Using family sharing, how does one view and download songs from a family member's collection in itunes?
When you click on your device you are presented with the pages
Summary
Info
Apps
Tones
Music
Movies
TV shows
Books
Photos
To remove Audiobooks depending on the type of Audiobook ie a series of mp3 files you will find under music and probably have to deselect the album name to remove it. I don't have any of these as I download from Audible or I use Audiobook Builder to stictch together mp3 files into m4b files. To find these Click on Books you will immediately see a section for books (in reality ebooks). Scroll down past that and you will see Audiobooks where you can select and deselect. Deselect the required Audiobooks and Click Sync
