Can't get rid of an unwanted download

About two months ago, when iTunes was offering the series premiere of Roommates, I downloaded it, but I downloaded the HD episode first on accident. I quickly got the regular edition and it downloaded fine, but since I know that my iPod Video can't handle anything in HD, I've been trying to get rid of the download. I don't want to let the whole thing download for over four or whatever hours. I tried to delete the file from my "Downloads" folder in my iTunes folder thing and just nothing works. Can anyone tell me how I can rid of the undownloaded HD download without having to fully download it? Thanks!

You can't get rid of it, but you can ask iTS support to remove it from your download queue.

It might just be easier to let the thing download and then delete it, quite frankly.

Can't get rid of an unwanted update...

Since upgrading to Yosemite, I had the usual updates in the App Store for Keynote, Pages, etc.
But Apple Remote Desktop also showed up as having an upgrade even though I have the latest version. I did not purchase ARD through the App Store, it was a boxed software with a license code.
I cannot get the badge to go away showing that ARD has an upgrade. If I click on "Upgrade", it tells me that the software is either already installed, or was not purchased by this user ID.
How do I get rid of this annoying badge and indicator in the app store for an app that is already the latest version and doesn't need anything done to it?

How can I get rid of a small "download" pop up?

whatever I do online on my computer is always a small "download" popup in my way. How can I get rid of it? I have no idea where it comes from.

If there are problems with updating or with the permissions then best is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
Download a new copy of the Firefox application and save the disk image file to the desktop
*Firefox 27.0: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
*Trash the current Firefox application (open the Applications folder in the Finder and drag the Firefox application to the Trash) to do a clean (re-)install
*Install the new version that you have downloaded

Your personal data is stored elsewhere in the Firefox profile folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data when you uninstall and (re)install Firefox.

HT1379 How can I get rid of an unwanted message?

When my system starts up I see a message that says, "The disc you inserted was not readable by this computer." I had an external DVD drive but detached it and it still gives me the message. The machine (a new iMac 27") doesn't even have a disc drive! How can I get rid of it?

Does it happen if you boot with the Shift key held down to get into Safe Mode (if your keyboard is wireless, hold the Shift key after you hear the boot chimes and not before)? Additionally, try creating a new user account in the Users & Groups system preferences and then reboot and log into that account. When you do so, does the same message show up?

How can I get rid of the Unwanted ads that are appearing in my e-mail display

What appears to be the first e-mail is actually an ad. If I click on it it takes me to a website that is trying to sell me something. I can't get rid of it.

I'm sorry, can you please respond with more information? I don't really understand your problem. Please try using another browser (Safari, Chrome) to do whatever you were doing. If the problem continues, then this refers to the website that you are connecting to.

Can't get rid of mobile browser download ad

When I log on there is a foxfire mobile browser download ad. I can't use it and can't find any way to get rid of it. Also, I have tried multiple times to change my home page using the instructions in your help video and it doesn't work.

On which page is this?
Is that one of the snippets on the about:home page?

HT201365 How can I get rid of the new download ?

The new update is a disaster for me . How do I get rid of it ? The graphics have changed the quality of the colours so much that my colour blind partner cannot use my phone if he needs to. In an emergency this could be awful. We could use the old system without any trouble. Please sort this one out quickly APPLE !

Well, to start out with, you cannot downgrade. It is not supported by Apple. Next, if you want Apple to hear what you have to say, since they are not here, we are all users like you, go to the feedback page at www.apple.com/feedback and click on the appropriate link.

After a reload of Windows, when 1 go to Firefox (3.6 or 4 beta) I get a 13th birthday invitation porporting to come from Firefox/Mozilla- not true and I can't get rid- tried a new download-same thing - HELP

That's it. I click on the Firefox icon in the start menu and I get this spurious site popping up with a 13th birthday celebration offering prizes. The rigmarole to register for a prize is unbeleivable and it soon becomes apparent thet tis is nothing to do with Mozilla. I lost a lot of infoo and programs when Windows (XP Professional 32bit) crashed, including my Firefox installation. As soon as I downloaded and re-installed Firefox the short cut takes me straight to the unwanted rubbish!

Can I get rid of the 10MB download limit for 3G?

Whenever I try to download a file arger than 10 MB on my iPhone3GS, it tells me that Files Larger than 10 MB should be downloded via Wifi. How do I get around this, so that my files will download from my 3G service provider (just like the smaller files do)?

How do I get around this
By doing as it says and downloading large files via WiFi.
If your network operator doesn't allow > 10MB downloads over the mobile network, there's no way to get around it.
It has been reported that some network operators have recently increased the limit to 20mb:

How can I get rid of annoying, unwanted playlists put on my phone by apple?

I hate that I can't personalize my phone. Everything with apple is so generic. Why can't products be suited to the user rather than users conforming to the product? I hate all the annoying playlists and app icons for things I don't want.
Do I have a choice?

You do under some circumstances, however you are not addressing Apple here. We are users like you. As far as icons are concerned, native iOS icons cannot be deleted, but many people just create a junk folder to put them in and put that folder on their last home page. I understand this isn't the solution you are searching for, but it does help some people. Some playlists can be removed, however some cannot.
As far as letting Apple know how you feel about this, they do not come to the forum. Use the feedback page here: www.apple.com/feedback and click on the appropriate link. This is where they get user feedback.

How do I get rid of the blue "downloading the latest applications" bar which won't go away even after uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox?

Can't get rid of the blue "downloading the latest applications" bar that seems to be just hanging and won't go away. I uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox, but the bar is still there after 2 days. I updated something (can't remember what!) on I.E., and it had the same blue bar, but it had a box I could x out of so it went away on I.E. I don't know why the blue bar is there on Firefox, as I did the update while on I.E.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I updated an application while on Internet Explorer.

Annette,
#In the menu bar, at the top of the Firefox window, Go to Tools -> Add-ons -> Extensions.
# Locate ''each ''of the following extensions by name and click the disable button
#Restart Firefox as prompted and see if the undesired toolbar has been removed.
#The extensions to disable are: '''Crawler Toolbar''', '''MP3 Rocket Toolbar''', '''MSN Toolbar''', '''Search Helper Extension'''
If you don't need some / all of those toolbars, consider leaving them disabled.
You can probably remove these toolbars permanently from Start -> Control Panel -> Add/Remove Programs.

I recently downloaded new Firefox; an option was a new top of the page skin. I don't like ; can't get rid of it. what to do?

After downloading newest firefox an option showed up: do you want one on these new skins to top your opening page? I opted for one of them and now can't get rid of it. I prefer the old . What's there now looks like a background for several toolbars. Contrast is bad.

You can set Firefox back to using the default theme. Open the add-ons manager (in the tools menu select Add-ons), in the add-ons manager go to the Themes panel. Click on the Default theme in the list of themes then click on the "Use Theme" button.
For more details see using themes with Firefox.

How can I get rid of photos that were downloaded from my computer?

How can I get rid of photos that were downloaded from my computer? I need to free up space on my iPad

Assuming that you synced the photos from iTunes - or whatever downloaded means - you must use iTunes again in order to remove the songs from the iPad. You have to uncheck the albums in the photos folder that you sync from in the Photos tab of iTunes and follow that with a sync.

How can I get rid of firefox, and the download everytime i go to home page

Firfox Setup Stub 32.0 exe, automatically downloads itself every time I go to the my home page. Why? I don't use firefox, I like Chrome. I have downloaded FF before, just to try to get rid of the annoying download page

Have you set the Firefox download page as the home page in Chrome? It can happen by accident. You should be able to set it back to the default in the Chrome settings. Here's how to set the home page in Chrome: https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/95314?hl=en
Btw, if you've stopped using Firefox a while ago, it has gotten much faster and more lightweight recently. You might want to give it another try.
Cheers!
