Got mini, and was trying to download old purchases but it timed out and they are all just sitting there, how do I cancel the downloads?

I got it all synced byt just connecting to my computer instead.

Quit iTunes.
Delete /Users/<username>/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iTunes.plist
Restart iTunes and see if the *Show at startup box* is at the lower left of the tutorial window.
If so, uncheck it.

  • I backed up my old core 2 duo imac and and was trying to transfer files to my new 2011 imac and when i go to oppen a folder from what i transferred it says "The folder "Music" can't be opened because you don't have permission to see its contents."?

    I backed up my old core 2 duo imac and and was trying to transfer files to my new 2011 imac and when i go to oppen a folder from what i transferred it says "The folder “Music” can’t be opened because you don’t have permission to see its contents".  Why cant i access the files from my old mac?  I tried the time machine and that isnt working either.  I have files that I need to use on my new mac, all my old programs and such.  I thought they said it was easy to get your files from one mac to another.  Please help.

    Your account names are probably different on the two Macs. If you know the UNIX command line, open a terminal window and run:
    $ id 
    You should see a line that starts with something like this:
    uid=501(your_user_id_here)
    now check the owner of the folder you copied over:
    $ ls -ld Music
    drwx------+ 8 some_user_id_here  staff  272 May 14 16:08 Music
    Do the IDs match? If not, you could change the ownership. Say your id is "johnsmith"
    $ chown -R johnsmith Music
    Now try and access it with iTunes.

  • I notice when I plug in my phone to my computer and look at what's "On this iPhone" it says that I have a book on there (one that was a free download from something), but I don't have iBooks installed on my phone. How do I remove the book?

    Hi tinashah817,
    Was this book downloaded using iBooks, or from another application? If it was from iBooks you will need to install that application to delete it.
    See this article about managing your iBooks library on your iPhone -

    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5544
    Once the book has been deleted from the iPhone you can uninstall the iBooks application if you so desire.

  • How may one cancel the download of an update that was started by having actuated the "Check for Updates" button in the "About Firefox" window, please?

    How may one cancel the download of an update that was started by having actuated the "Check for Updates" button in the "About Firefox" window, please? If possible please cover all platforms, Mac, Windows, Linux, although the first mentioned is what currently applies to my circumstances.
    Thank you.

    Such a download is usually saved in an updates or updated folder in the Firefox program/application folder.
    You can delete this folder to cancel the download.
    If files already have been downloaded then remove the files in the updates and updates\0 folder.

    Help! I was downloading Marika Hackman - Bath is Black when something happened and iTunes crashed. Then I went onto music and it won't play, it won't delete and there is no album picture. On iTunes it says its downloading, but its been like that for several days now. Is there a way to cancel the download or something?!

    I am trying to use the "This solved my question - 10 points" an the "This helped me - 5 points" but they are NOT doing anything. How do I award the points ?

    Are you talking about the "Legend" panel at the right of the window?
    Those text are just help texts explaining the reputation points. You can only award points, if you are the original poster of a question. Then you will see active buttons to award points below the answers you receive. See here for more information: https://discussions.apple.com/static/apple/tutorial/reputation.html

  • How can i cancel the download of ISO 8

    how can i cancel the download of ISO 8

    If you're downloading directly on your device, you can't cancel it. In fact, all iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad devices will automatically download iOS updates (when new one is available) when your device is charging and connected to the internet. If you don't want to upgrade, do not install it.

  • How can I cancel the download of a movie on iTunes?

    How can I cancel the download of a movie on iTunes?

    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.

  • I recently downloaded the new version of itunes and was trying to sync my ipod to my new computer and all of my music disappeared.  Where is my music?

    I recently downloaded the newest version of iTunes and was trying to sync my iPod to my new computer for the first time.  Somehow in this process I somehow lost all of my music!  It says that I only havce 10 songs unless I'm looking in my library somewhere else.  But even on my iPod all of my music is gone!  Help someone!!!  Can I find what music I used to have?

    If the music that was removed from your iPod (which happened as a result of syncing it with a new computer... an iPod is designed to sync with only one library at a time.  Connecting it to a new/different iTunes library will erase what is currently on the iPod and replace it with what is in the new library) is no longer in a backup anywhere or another PC, then there is no way to tell what used to be on your iPod.
    You'll need to either rerip the tracks you had from CDs back into iTunes or redownload them from iTunes via iCloud if possible.

  • I accidentally rented the hd version of a movie on my iPhone 4, and it is too big. How do I cancel the download?

    I rented the hd version of a movie on my 8gb iPhone 4, but I wanted the standard version. The hd version is way too big for my iPod, but I can't stop the download, it just says "download error, tap to retry". How do I cancel the hd download so I can rent the SD version? I don't mind losing a few bucks from the original download.

    You double posted.
    Open the Video app on the phone, locate the movie, swipe from left to right, hit delete.

  • How can I cancel the downloads?

    I hope to cancel the app downloads that I've bought but not want to download any more, including each time while I use iTunes. What should I do?

    I am having the same problem.  I "purchased" Pan Am Season 1 because it was available for free.  I did not plan on downloading it, but just storing it in "iCloud".  It is about 20GB so I would like to be able to cancel the download. I guess the only way to cancel at this time is to contact tech support?

  • HT1473 I got my MAC PRO installed with iOS lion and since then i'm unable to add music on my iTunes and i tried adding to library option but still it copies and at the end it stays empty, doesn't even open new songs on it. any suggestions ?

    hey,
    I've rebooted my mac before installing new ios lion, so after everything was done i copied my data back to my mac book pro, then simple clicked on adding to library option in itune and it only synced half of the track and rest simply didnt copy, i thought maybe some error occured and i tryed the same procedure again but its not adding more tracks in it. and i just notice when ever i try play a new song through my data it does not open in itune these are the same tracks and songs i been listening to since ages on different note books and pods..
    Help me i've tryed everything but nathing seems to be working. and my itune is uptodated =S

    Use the trackpad to scroll, thats what it was designed for. The scroll bars automatically disappear when not being used and will appear if you scroll up or down using the trackpad.
    This is a user-to-user forum and most people will post on here if they have problems. You very rarely get people posting to say there update went smooth. The fact is the vast majority of Mountain Lion users will not be experiencing any major problems with the OS, or maybe with apps which are not compatible, but thats hardly Apple's fault if developers don't update their apps.

    Try doing what dynamite said by installing itunes 8. Maybe do a google about the error. Ring microsoft or last resort is a reformat.
