Download progress can't be told to quit downloading a file

The download arrow that shows what is being downloaded, has a single file in it that never completes. I have the file already, and I wish to delete the request.
Here's what's been tried so far:
I found the download file in history and tried to stop it there.
I tried pausing the download from the down arrow in FF
I told history to forget about this site.
I deleted all history.
The browser is still trying to download the file.
"Unknown time remaining - 0 of 0 bytes"
This behavior spans FF quit/start cycles.
What can be done?
Thanks.

I have a new problem: When I hit the down arrow, now I do not get anything being listed, though I have downloaded 3 files since wiping the history of all downloads. I still get a time to completion clock if I'm actually downloading something at the time.
I am tending to think a reset is in order, but wish to know if it's possible to preserve preferences and the extension list prior to doing the reset.
Thanks,

Mountain Lion is downloading, how can I tell where it is downloading to and how much has downloaded?

Mountain Lion is downloading, how can I tell where it is downloading to and how much has downloaded?

In the "purchases" tab in the App Store you'll see a progress report.
Also once it completes downloading the installer will auto-launch.
Once you get Mountain Lion installed, if you have the Downloads folder in your dock you will get a progress indicator in the dock while it's downloading :-)

Blue download progress bar will not disappear from the downloads folder in the dock

see topic. I appreciate any assistance. I have restarted, shutdown, started & finished other downloads etc. Still won't disappear.

solved by removing from the dock and re-adding.

I downloaded the iOS7 and I can't force quit the open apps. I was told, "Force-quitting apps is a little different though: Instead of tapping and holding on the icon, you flick a thumbnail up to dismiss it." Comments please & thank you

I downloaded the iOS7 and I can't force quit the open apps. I was told, "Force-quitting apps is a little different though: Instead of tapping and holding on the icon, you flick a thumbnail up to dismiss it." Unfortunately, that didn't work. Any comments please & thank you

Sorry if I didn't make myself clear. Prior to loading 1OS7 it was easy to force quit applications that were still open by double clicking and seeing an a red "x" you had to click on.
It doesn't work that way with the new operating system and the instructions that were given "Force-quitting apps is a little different though: Instead of tapping and holding on the icon, you flick a thumbnail up to dismiss it."
Do not work.
I am looking for anyone who can help figure this out.

See a a version compable with your iPod is available:
Starting when iOS 7 was released, Apple now allows downloading the last compatible version of some apps (iOS 4.2.1 and later only)
App Store: Downloading Older Versions of Apps on iOS - Apple Club
App Store: Install the latest compatible version of an app
You first have to download the non-compatible version on your computer. Then when you try to purchase the version on your iPod you will be offered a compatible version if one exists.
Also, if you have iOS 6.1.6 yo have a 4G (has cameras). A 3G does not have cameras and can only go to 5.1.1

If your launchpad icon is displayed on your dock, you should see a status bar underneath it showing download progress.

It's better to post the URL of the feed (as you have subsequently done) than the contents of the feed .
From the FeedValidator report the feed is basically OK for iTunes. There are several occasions where 'content:encoded' sections (following immediately on 'guid' tags) should be enclosed in
<description>...</description>
tags: however all this will be ignored by iTunes anyway and only applies to other readers. The 'potentially dangerous content' referred to by FeedValidator is within the 'content:encoded' tags and so isn't relevant to iTunes. They are referring to an inline css style, and I don't know whether this might cause a problem elsewhere.
You should really have a language tag, e.g.
<language>en-us</language>
(you have a dc:language tag but that's for a different system). This should be placed in the top section, before the first 'item' tag.
It's advisable to have an 'itunes:explicit' tag for each 'item' -
<itunes:explicit>yes IF CONTAINS ADULT MATERIAL, OTHERWISE no</itunes:explicit>
it's not compulsory if you have no adult material, but you must have a 'yes' if you do.
You can check your feed by subscribing in iTunes from the 'Advanced' menu - this has the same result as clicking the 'Subscribe' button on the Store page. If it works OK there you are ready to submit it.

Can you monitor Mail download progress?

I am new to 10.4.4, and I miss the download progress of Mail in OSX 10.2.8.
Is there a way to monitor the download progress of Mail in 10.4.4? I am still on dialup and I would sure like to know what Mail is doing while I am online.
Regards

I asked the same question see, Mail Differnet under Tiger no OUT BOX. Allan Sampson answered and suggested this
"I'm not sure why but Apple also removed the progress bar with Tiger Mail.
You can send Apple feedback regarding the progress bar at the following link."
http://www.apple.com/macosx/feedback/
You, I, and others are finding a problem here. We must get as many people as possible to send feedback to apple to encourage this to be fixed.

if no joy with beau's suggestion, try the following procedure.
first, head into your Add/Remove programs and uninstall your QuickTime. if it goes, good. if it doesn't, we'll just attend to it when we attend to itunes.
next, download and install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. use it to clear any existing itunes and/or QuickTime installation configuration information from the PC.
Description of the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility
next, use the the following document as a guide for manual removal of leftover itunes and quicktime program files:
Removing iTunes and QuickTime for Windows
now try another itunes install. does it go through properly this time?

Can any help with my Xcode download issue?

Hi all,
Can anyone help with my Xcode issue? I downloaded it the other day but it is currently stuck saying waiting. I found this advice online http://scheyeniam.blogspot.co.uk/2011/08/how-to-revive-mac-app-store-when-its.ht ml and it seemed simple enough. However it tells me to go into activity monitor and quite 'storeagent'. The issue is that there is no process called storeagent. I have tried quitting other processes but it doesn't seem to be working.
Does anyone know of a solution to stop the download saying 'waiting' and to get it started?
Thanks

Most likely it is downloading, although the App Store doesn't show the download progress. I had the same problem yesterday when I did the upgrade. It eventually finished, and it's quite a large download, so it might take hours, depending on your internet connection.
If you open the Launchpad, and locate the XCode application icon, it should show a download/install progress, if you want to verify that it's actually doing something. Otherwise, just leave the App Store running, and it should eventually finish.

I purchased Lightroom 5 in December 2014. It was my understanding that I would get free upgrades when new versions come out. I attempted to download LR 6 and it said that the download was happening but there was no progress bar showing. I left the downloading screen open for 3 hours but nothing happened.

Robert,
You can purchase Lightroom 6 as a part of the creative cloud photography package, part of creative cloud, as a stand alone product or as a product upgrade.
If you purchased lightroom 5 as a perpetual product rather than the creative cloud, you would need to purchase an upgrade to Lightroom 6. Udpates are free for stand alone versions, but upgrades need to be purchased.
If you need to purchase an upgrade to a perpetual license that you downloaded or purchased at a store, see this link: Products . Scroll down to lightroom and click "buy". Click on the selectable text by " I want to: "and select "upgrade".
If you are trying to install Lightroom CC 2016 as a part of a creative cloud subscription, you should be able to download and install Lightroom CC 2015 from the Creative Cloud site. Since Lightroom CC is a new product, it will not show as an update in the Adobe Application Manager. Instead, press the install button next to Lightroom in the Application manager. If you don't see "install" by Lightroom in the application manager, please first try signing out and back in: sign in and sign out of the Creative Cloud desktop app
If you still have issues, see option 2 in this link:
Lightroom doesn't launch or quits automatically after splash screen

Pattie

I have the adobe cloud 9.99/ month photography package i downloaded lightroom 5.4, it told me it was a trial version, and i'm now at the end of the trial and it won't let me download the full version and i don't have a serial number

i have the adobe cloud 9.99/ month photography package i downloaded lightroom 5.4, it told me it was a trial version, and i'm now at the end of the trial and it won't let me download the full version and i don't have a serial number. also, when i click buy, i get an error message saying, "application not found."

There are two different LR’s, one with a serial-number licensing and one with a CC-signin license.
You should uninstall the serial-number LR you have installed, then
Quit the CC Desktop application,
Restart the CC Desktop application—this will rescan what you have installed and not see LR,
LR will now be on the CC Desktiop apps list, so install that.
