Delete app download in progress

HELP! I am so far unable to stop a mistaken download. It is about 6% downloaded. I tried to stop it as soon as I accidently clicked the buy button it's a $25 app! I've gone through itunes on my desktop and also on my ipad. When the apps wiggle no X appears over this app. In itunes I deleted it but it doesn't disappear. and also at what point is apple allowed to charge your account, when you click buy or when download is complete?
Anybody have a solution?

I don't know if I sound knowledgeable but I know what the terms are when using the iTunes Store, App Store etc.
Thanks for your kind words as well. I have ready posts where other users have asked Apple to help them out in situations like this and Apple has acquiesced depending on the circumstances. For your sake, I hope they do it this time as well.
The lockout continues to confound me and anger me at the same time ... It has been said so many times here in the states ....millionaires arguing with billionaires .... Thanks again and Good Luck!

How to delete apps download?

how do you delete app downloads? i still have the app on download history and it will not delete. any answers?

I don't think you can delete or remove them completely from the Purchase list. They can only be hidden by doing a left or right swipe on the app and then tap the Hide button.

TS1702 Deleted App "downloading" icon stuck on my iPad.

I downloaded an app that I tried, didn't like and deleted. The problem is I still have the "downloading" icon sitting my iPad. How do I get rid of this? I tried holding it for the 'jiggle', but I don't get the option to delete it.

Restarting your device
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider.
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.

How do you delete a download in progress?

I recently "bought" the premier episode of Mr. Sunshine. It has taken forever to download and I keep stopping it. I no longer want this - how do I delete it forever? I can't seem to make it go away completely.
thanks!

Once an item enters the download queue, the user cannot remove it. Either let it complete the download (easiest) or contact the iTunes Store customer support department through the Contact page (select the category and subcategory closest to the issue you're reporting and you'll find either an "Express Lane" button - just follow the instructions to get to the contact form - or an "Email Us" button) and ask them if they'll remove the item(s) from your queue for you.
Regards.

HT201272 Cannot download previously deleted app iphoto. Other deleted apps re install exactly as manual says. Also, how can I delete unwanted photos from "photos" app, which were brought in via Dropbox? Ipad Air wi fi running ios 7 (my first apple product

New to Apple, having fun with ipad Air, but geting frustrated with its weird ways.
Deleted the iphoto app to clear out photos (yes, really). Now cannot download it again. Other deleted apps download exactly as the manual says but not iphoto. Can anyone suggest how to fix please? Also, cannot delete test photos from"photos" app, brought in from Dropbox. Can anyone tell me how to do this please?
All help gratefully received.

You should be able to redownload it via the Purchased tab in the App Store app on your iPad - if it's not showing there (you haven't changed countries since buying the app ?) then check to see if it's hidden : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4919
For the photos, if they are in the Camera Roll album in the Photos app then you can either delete them via the trashcan icon in the bottom right corner if viewing the photo in full screen, or via the Select button top right in thumbnail view.

How do i delete apps on itunes ??? i went to the library and it only shows a few apps that i have. But when i go into my account i can see all of the apps i have downloaded. soooo how do i delete the apps that are only showing in my account?

How do I delete an app on iTunes? I can delete the apps that are shown in the library of iTunes by right clicking and hitting "delete". But all of my apps aren't shown in the library (I don't understand that either). I can see all downloaded apps in my account though. But I don't see how to delete them from there.

If you plug in your iphone, click on it in iTunes, and go to the apps section, it should be checked to sync apps if you want them to show up in iTunes as well as your iPhone. Once synced they will show on both.
Then if you click Apps under the Library header in the left panel of iTunes, you'll be able to permanently delete apps, removing them entirely from iTunes. Highlight an app's icon or a group of icons by holding down Shift and hit the delete key (or select Edit > Delete from the top menu or right-click on an icon and selecting delete).

I download apps directly to my iphone. When I sync with my laptop, how do I avoid having sync delete apps, photos, songs downloaded on my iphone?

If you are syncing to the same computer that you always sync to, and have each of the items in itunes that you want synced then you shouldnt have an issue. The only way you would have an app come off your phone is if you uncheck that app from syncing in th apps location in itunes.

HOW THE **** DO I DELETE A DOWNLOADING APP ON MY IPOD TOUCH?!?!?

Recently my friend's son went on my ipod touch, he played a few games then saw an advertisment for Tap Pet Shop and Tap Zoo and he wanted to play them so he downloaded the apps. This morning i found these 2 grayed out apps on my ipod touch, i've tried deleting them via holding down the app for 5 seconds then waiting for the X but there was no X, i tried to delete the apps by downloading them through the computer then deleting the download through itunes but i can't do that either, it's taking up space on my ipod touch. It ridiculous and i want to know how to delete them now. I've already had a look on these forums for a answers and i have tried all of these solutions, but none of them work at all.
HELP!

All caps indicates shouting, is considered rude, and is difficult to read. Many simply do not read such posts.
The font and size of your post are very difficult to read as well. You may want to post in normal font and without all caps.
Good luck

Hi,
the settings are gone, i guess. But even worse, I cannot get the iPad2 to play Full HD thru the Apple digital AV adaptor using apps that support (and advertise this), like AVPlayer HD. This definiteley used to work before one of the last iOS upgrades. (I am now at 5.1.1).

Many thanks

You cannot.
The entire point of this is that you can redownload any and all of your past purchases.

Problem with iTunes app (swiping to delete a download deletes another item)

While browsing and downloading podcasts directly on the iPad using the iTunes app, I noticed that swiping to delete a download has the tendency to delete ANOTHER download in queue (i.e. NOT the item that was swiped!). Please fix this!

Note: Previously purchased music is only available through iTunes in the Cloud in Argentina, Australia, Belgium, Bolivia, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, France, Germany, Guatemala, Honduras, Ireland, Luxembourg, Malta, Mexico, New Zealand, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Slovakia, Spain, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, United States, and Venezuela."

HT4623 My iPad no longer has the iTunes app nor the App Store app. It will no longer delete or download. Anyone ever experience this. Geek squad had no advice for me.

MY iPad no longer has an App Store app nor an iTunes Store. I cannot delete nor download. I have tried everything but a reset. Do not know which one I should do. My info is backed up and stored in the cloud , HELP!! Sleepless on South Carolina

Check to see if restrictions are enabled. Settings / General / Restrictions. If they are, you will need to enter the 4 digit code that was set when restrictions were turned on. Then check to see if App store and iTunes are disabled as a restriction.
If that is not the case, or if you have forgotten or do not know the passcode for restrictions, you will need to try:
1. Reset homescreen layout - see if they come back.
2. Restore to Factory settings - Try restoring from a backup afterwards. If the problem still exists, restore and set up as new.

How can delete and block a app downloaded to my daughter's ipod?

How can I delete and block an app downloaded to my daughters ipod. I know how to delete it but it seems to always be available for her to download again. She does not have her own Apple ID and does not know my password.

Delete it again, go into Restrictions on her Touch and turn off the ability to add apps.
