How to cancel a download that is in progress

I tried to download some podcasts onto my ipod via itunes, but they are taking too long and I want to cancel them. The only option I see is to pause the downloading process. How do I cancel or stop the podcasts from downloading?

this only seems to work on itunes on my computer...I have a bunch of podcasts that are in the process of downloading to my ipod and i want to cancel them...on the itunes on my ipod, under downloads there is an option to pause but not to cancel, and under podcasts it just shows what's hot, top tens, or categories, it does not show the podcasts that are currently downloading and give me the chance to cancel them, as it does on the itunes on my computer....is my only option therefore to let these podcasts keep downloading and then delete them when they are finished...seems like a lot of downloading for no purpose, when all i want to do is abort the download process, is there no othe way to do this?

  • How do I cancel a download (that is in progress) from the app store?

    I have a "Xcode for snow leopard" download that I obviously don't need anymore. I want it to be gone from the app store, but I don't want to download all the 4.9GB to my harddrive. How can I cancel it?

    Hello there, DB8.
    The following Knowledge Base article offers up the stpes for canceling a download from Mac App Store:
    Mac App Store: Buy, download, and install apps
    Pause, resume, or cancel an app download
    To pause or resume a download in App Store, in the toolbar, click Purchases, find the app in the list, and then click Pause or Resume.During the download, the amount downloaded and estimated download time remaining are shown.
    While installing, the estimated time remaining is shown.
    To cancel a download in App Store, in the toolbar, click Purchases, find the app in the list, hold down the Option key, and then click Cancel.
    To pause or resume a download in Launchpad, click the app icon.
    To cancel a download in Launchpad, hold down the app icon until all the icons start to jiggle, and then click the app’s delete button (x).
    To cancel a download in the Finder, click the app's delete button (x).
    If a download is interrupted because you lose your Internet connection or quit App Store, App Store starts the download again when the Internet connection is restored or the next time you open App Store.
    To start downloading any apps you purchased but haven’t successfully downloaded, choose Store > “Check for Unfinished Downloads.”
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.

    You just made me feel better. I'm ticked it will take 6 hours to download one episode of breaking bad.  I can't decide who I'm more frustrated with...appletv or dish network. 

  • HT201272 How do I retrieve downloads that I purchased that no longer show up on my phone?

    How do i retrieve downloads that I purchased that no longer show up on my Iphone>

    What you can re-download will depend upon what country that you are in (music, films and/or tv shows can't be re-downloaded in all) and the type of item (audiobooks and ringtones are one-time only downloads) - the Purchased tabs in the iTunes and App Store apps, and in the ibookstore in the iBooks app, will show what you can re-download. If other items of the same type show there but a particular item doesn't (and it's still in the store) then you could check to see if anything is hidden : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4919

    I tried downloading a movie from iTunes. It lost connection and stopped downloading and now none of my apps will update. It just says waiting. How do I cancel the movie that started loading?  I only see the pause and resume buttons on the iTunes download tab. I'm using my iPad and don't have the computer to connect to. Thanks.

  • How to cancel itunes download?

    Hi!
    I need to cancel several download in the iTunes App on my iPad (TV Show Episodes) or delete them from the queue. How do I do that? I payed for them an that's fine, it's just the download queue in the downloads section of iTunes on my iPad (iPad 2 3G 64 GB, iOS 6 GM).
    Background info:
    I purchased Season 3 of Fringe in HD with complete my season. Now all episodes started downloading. I don't want to download all of them and don't need to.

    Tried both of these options numerous times:
    1)      • 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.
    2)      wiping across a paused download allowed me to delete it.
    Whhhhyy can't I get this to work?
    I'm beyond frustrated. Trying to invent new ways to curse Apple.
    Any information would be GREATLY appreciated.
    Thank you.
