How can I cancel a started download?

Awhile back, I had click on a free TV video download (Brooke Know Best) but it had stopped downloading. It has been several months and has been paused in the Downloads. If I continue, will it be free or will I be charged? Or what I really want to do is just remove it. I'm not interested in it at all. Thanks for your help.

You can't yourself delete a download once it's been queued. The easiest thing will be to just let it finish downloading. Once it's in the queue, you shouldn't be charged for a free item, or charged a second time for those items that carried a cost. If you really want to cancel the download, contact the iTunes Store customer support department through the form linked from the bottom of their Download FAQ web page (I recommend that you use the form, not the link in your Purchase History as they advise; that's not proven to be very reliable) and explain the problem to them. Perhaps they can clear the download for you.

Throw the app in the trash and remove it form the Dock. Otherwise, contact DataViz for support as Apple Communities only provide support for Apple products.

How can I cancel the instruments download?

I used the "Restore Sound Library" function from Garageband 10.0.3's menu. A split-second before clicking the "Download" button, I realized that the files were over 5 GB. I do not have this much room on my computer! (Room on my hard drive has been a recurring issue and I have already gone through everything I can get rid of... in case someone wanted to suggest that.)
Now there is no way to cancel the download. The download window even states that if I quit Garageband the download will resume when I re-open it. I can't quit Garageband forever because I am using it! I have already tried searching for answers to this issue, and found none.
Is there a way to force this download to cancel? I don't want to have to deal with the slowness of a full hard drive. If not, where do these extra instruments download to (so I can delete them once the download is complete)?
Thank you!

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.

How can I cancel an update download once it has started?

Firefox asks me to download an update to version 3.6.24 every time I go online. I do not wish to do so at this time. However, I hit the download button by accident and it began the download. I have paused it, but I want to know how I may stop it altogether (for this time). I have a Mac.

The reply from cor-el assumes that the question was about an ordinary download, managed by the "Downloads" panel interface. A Firefox update does its downloading (before installation) with a different interface panel. I do not have a screen-capture of the actual panel in that it's appearance happened a few days ago and our final approach was to suspend the automatic download (note that that had been started in error), and then to do all the manual steps we usually would do for a deliberately, manually-started, update. But the "hanging in mid-air" update forced us to do that update in a way and at a time that we ordinarily would not do it.
I still contend that the Firefox update progress panel (whatever it is labelled) does *'''NOT*''' have any obvious cancellation interface, not even the "x" noted above. (... and if it *only* had an "x", in my opinion that would not be a sufficiently obvious interface as compared to having a "Cancel" button.)

I have just upgraded to 10.6.7, and was browing the App. Store, I selected a product and it started to download, I cancelled the download, but it still registers in my purchases list, have I purchased that appl. and how can I cancel the purchase?

I have just upgraded to 10.6.7, and was browing the App. Store, I selected a product by mistake and it started to download, I cancelled the download, but it still registers in my purchases list, have I purchased that appl.? and how can I cancel the purchase in my purchases list?

I think that as soon as you click "Buy" and type in your details, the iTunes server is alerted that you have bought the item, even if it hasn't downloaded. Your "purchased" list is based on your account and not your computer so I'm afraid even if you haven't completed the download, you will be charged for it (but if you do now download it, you won't be charged again). This also means that you can't remove items from the purchased list.
Glad to be of help (I hope),

How can I cancel "The Garage Band content is now downloading" once it starts? I thought it would show the size of the download, but it just assumes I have unlimited bandwidth, instead of mobile data rates which are super expensive.

How can I cancel "The Garage Band content is now downloading" once it starts? I thought it would show the size of the download, but it just assumes I have unlimited bandwidth, instead of mobile data rates which are super expensive.
Once it started, it just shows it's progress and there's no option I can find to stop the download.
Any help greatly appreciated.

Hi,
I am not sure whether it works, Try "Restore Sound Library" in Menu.

I started to download from software update and decided I don't want the items after the download had begun. How can I cancel a download? I don't want to just pause it, I want it to GO AWAY. I don't want it to resume any time ever.

I downloaded a movie twice. How can I cancel the other one and get a refund?

I downloaded a movie twice. How can I cancel the other one and get a refund?

If you are speaking of an iTunes purchase, you will need to contact iTunes Customer Service and explain the situation. Their written policy is kinda cold, in that they say they don't issue refunds for erroneous purchases, but I have found them to be a bit more understanding and helpful than that.
Start by calling Apple at 1-800-275-2273 (if in the US) and ask to be connected to iTunes Customer Service.

HT201611 how can i cancel a movie that i rented but is taking too long to download?

How can I cancel a movie we ordered but is taking way too long to download?

Netflix and similar services adapts to the connection. iTunes content is at a fixed rate and higher quality, a portion needs to load before playback begins. If it starts and then buffers throughout its because you don't have a stable network connection. ISP throttling can also be something to consider
You can see your network status by getting a report istumbler, netstumbler oor similar. Look for signal strength, noise, nearby networks. Make sure router is up to date. You can also test on another network.

How can I cancel or delete a movie I tried to download to my iPhone? The file is too large and iTunes is hung up during the process of downloading. I've tried to swipe from right to left but that doesn't produce a delete button....

Slide your finger across the videos' listing in your iPhone Videos App and tap the red "Delete" button that appears.

HT201210 how can I cancel the ios 8.0.2 download before it is completed?!

how can I cancel the ios 8.0.2 download before it is completed .. clicked download by accident! someone please help

If the speed of your internet connection is slow, this will affect the download time. Also realize that everyone and their mother are trying to download the update as well...servers get taxed to the max and the download can even be slow for those with the faster internet connections.
That being said, I don't know if it's possible to cancel the OTA (over the air) download. You can effectively force pause it by disconnecting it from your Wi-Fi router until you CAN leave it connected to charge and update. I believe you can go to Settings/Wi-Fi and turn Wi-Fi off from there. Realize though that once you reconnect to your Wi-Fi network, the download will continue.
