A file paused during download now appears in Launchpad. How to remove?

The Software updater offered 3 items to upgrade. After it started I paused one of them - I couldn't stop that one altogether. Now the paused file appears, as paused, in the Launchpad. I can't find the file-in-progress in download folder or elsewhere.
How can I remove this, and clean up Launchpad's display?

If you click and hold on the icon of the paused download does it jiggle and display a cross in the corner. If so, click on the 'x' to delete it.

Crash during download; now can't download

I signed up for match; "matched" all of my music. decided to follow the gizmodo guide and delete my lower-res files and then download the higher res apple versions. My itunes crashed halfway through the process, saying it "didn't have enough memory" to save the library. Now my library has a good 200 songs that are showing up, but grayed out. You can't click on them or download them again with the cloud. If I go on my iphone I can download them there; but not on my computer.
How can I fix my library and get my songs back on it?

Hmmm! I didn't get that server for BBM message. or the update for BB ID.
DON'T THINK!!!! LOOK!

OS X Mavericks has paused during download.

I am attempting to download Mavericks on the my MacBook Pro. I am currently running 10.6.8. The icon in the doc indicated that the download was waiting. This lasted for more than 15 min so I suspected that the process was hung. I restarted my computer and now the icon indicates that the download has paused. I am not sure how the "un" pause the download.

I read the helpful hints: Issue with Mavericks download and resolved my issue by holding the cursor over the dock icon. This presented a pop up where I clicked on "resume". All is well.

I pause de download, now I can't re start

Weird pauses during download/upload visible on speedtest

Hey Everyone. I'm seeing a weird thing happening when running a speed test over at Speakeasy.net (http://www.speakeasy.net/speedtest/
Every time I do it I'm seeing several weird pauses during the download & upload. The ball moving across the page stops for a beat and then picks up again. I do not see this happen on my powerbook (wireless) or my pc.
any ideas whats going on? I have a d-link DI-634M router (but it did the same with an old router) and I'm on a high speed cable connection. Also. I'm running 10.4.8
any help would be appreciated.

Hmm, that one account, that helps!
Is the Interface you're connecting with at the top of the list in Network Port Configurations?
If it is, then try trashing...

Pause during download

I tried to download OS X Lion.
Unfortunately, during the process, the wifi connexion has been interrupted.
Now, the wifi connexion is OK but I read (above the Lion icon appearing in the Dock) : "OS X Lion - en pause"
What can I do to restart the process ?
Thanks for your help

Hi Brett and welcome to Apple Discussions,
This has always been a problem with folder actions, even before Automator came along. Your solution is one way round, but as you probably recognise it's a bit hit and miss.
Another commonly suggested solution when using AppleScript folder actions is to get the size of the original file and loop until the size of the copied file is the same before running the rest of the action.
I wouldn't fancy trying to do that in an Automator workflow, but it could be done with AppleScript.

Moiuntain lion paused during download how do i restart

Quit the appstore and relaunch. You should be able to resume the download from there if not let us know

Internet interrupted during download now "An error has occurred" is display

I tried to download the Lion developer preview and our internet went out for a few minutes. Now when i click on "Purchases" in the App Store I see the item listed but it reads "an error occurred" next to it. If i click the install button nothing happens. I cant clear it out. I tried opening up iTunes an clearing out the warnings and cache, but that did not help. How do i start this download over? Or does anyone know where these files get downloaded to so i can clear it out?
Here is a screenshot:

Got a solution now re downloading, Go to User folder library/application support/Appstore
open manifest.plist with property list editor (should be default to open), expand the selection so you can see all options. Then untick the box that says failed and re save the file. Unsure see link at bottom of post to screenshot
I had to then open the appstore, then restart it, it then resumed downloading again.
phew! all excited again bring on lion

Greetings, I have been trying to download Lion but unfortunately in pauses during download and will not continue. All of the specs seem to be in line for what is needed to download. thanks

Hello
If anyone has any info on downloading Lion would be greatly appreciated. The download is in a constant state of pause. I cannot get it out of the pause phase into active download. Anyone having similar trouble?
thx

See if either of these two things help.
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>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>Store>Sign in and then try to update again.

Just changed to Lion - why don't my downloads now appear on my desktop?

Not a very savvy user here, so could use some help please.
Moved to Lion on my iMac.
Now when I download a new program it doesn't show on my desktop so that I can open and install it - have to go looking for it.
How can I make it appear on the desk top after downloading . Today it was adobe reader

Downloads are in your Downloads folder for your protection, so you know they are Downloads as it's possible to become a victim of a driveby download attack, or click a trick link.
It's best to not change this and keep the Downloads folder clear and not click on anything that appears in there unless your sure.
Mac's are increasingly being the target of trojan installs and driveby downloads taking advantage of persons like yourself that are doing what your doing.

Recover apps that i deleted from app list - it was paused during download

Hi, I had just updated to OSX 10.9 (works great) but had a Mavericks download ready for installation in my App Store "Purchases" list. I started the download in my purchases list because I wanted to create a USB startup disk of Mavericks.
What I then did was pasue the download to check on things and when I wanted to continue with the download I accidently deleted the puchased app of Mavericks from my App List. The OSX logo in Launchpad is shaded and showing that it is "Paused".
Can you please let me know how I can get the Mavericks download back into my Purchased List so I can continue with the download "or" tell me how I can remove the pasued item in Launchpad.
Thanks,

Found answer to my own problem. Went into App Store account and was able to unhide the application I accidently deleted. Worked just fine

All files that I download are automatically compressed. How do i change this option ?

Whenever I download a file, it is being saved in a compressed format (Zip File). I would like to store it as it is. How do i do this

That will not be due to Firefox. This is just a guess, but do you use any form of web accelerator? They can work by compressing data before sending it to your computer.

Downloads window appearance has changed - how do i restore?

download window will work OK when in full screen but when in reduced window, the appearance has changed so it is impossible to read what is there. How do I restore to original settings?

Have you got any addons/extensions that may style it in some way? Go to '''Addons > Extensions''' (and Appearance), and look though any that may change the way the window displays. Change the options to suit.
