How can I cancel update download?

Hello,
There was ona new update in my AppStore, something with Facebook, new version. I didn't want to download it, but accidentaly I tapped on 'install' and it started. I want to cancel this download, but I don't know how. Is that even possible to cancel it when it has already started?
Thank You.

Tap & hold the icon until it starts to wiggle, tap the "x" to delete it. Then sync the old version from your iTunes library back to your phone.

  • HT4461 How can I cancel a download once it starts? I started a download with software update and decided I don't want it. I can pause the download, but I want to cancel entirely

    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.

    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.

    I ordered the download of a TV series 'accidentally' (it was free!) without realizing how long it would take to download each video. Now I just want to stop this error permanently.

    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.

  • I have just accidentally purchased a song on my iPhone 4s that I don't want. How can I cancel the download?

    HELP ME! I have just accidentally purchased a song on my iPhone that I didn't want. It has charged me, but the download has been paused. Is there anything I can do to stop it and get a refund?

    Only iTunes support can remove from your download queue, or you could just download it, then delete it. As far as a refund goes, plead your case:

  • 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?

  • How can I cancel the iOS software update?

    For some reason, iOS 6 has decided to download on my iPod Touch through WiFi. I didn't request it, nothing is set to automatically update in the Touch settings, or iTunes. It seemed to start downloading when I  synced the Touch. I've disconnected the Touch from WiFi temporarily. How can I cancel the download, or will there be an option when it's done downloading to cancel the install?
    Thanks for any help...

    I had the SAME problem & it was incredibly frustrating.  Having WiFi disabled for days caused me to eat up A LOT of my data plan.  It is total BS that there is no way to cancel an OTA download.  And it is total BS that no one can get ANY help on this issue.  There should be a way to cancel or at least downgrade if you don't like the newest iOS. 
    So, since Apple won't let you downgrade if you went ahead & installed it, and Apple won't help AT ALL if you don't want iOS 6, I had to figure it out myself.  Here's what I did....
    The stupid iOS 6 update that nobody wants needs a certain amount of free space in order to download & install.  I had started the download & disabled WiFi like you did, so the download was paused.  While it was paused, I set my video camera to record & it sat there & recorded for like 2.5 hours (ugh) before it finally took up all the space on my phone.  Then, I went back in & enabled WiFi & checked the piece of junk iOS 6 install & it now said it couldn't download b/c there wasn't enough space. 
    I figured this solution still s ucks b/c now I can't download any apps or take any more pics or vids.  About 30 minutes later, though, I went back to the horrible iOS 6 download & a message popped up saying there wasn't enough space.  When I hit "OK" or whatever to clear the message, the screen had reset & gone back to the "download & install" button.  FINALLY I was able to stop the download & installation of iOS 6.  THANK GOD.  I want nothing to do with it, and there is NO WAY Apple is taking my Google Maps or YouTube.  

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • How can one cancel an iTunes purchase after download has started

    How can one cancel an iTunes (movie) purchase after download has started but not completed

    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 am replying in this thread on behalf of "shepdog" as I am our local desktop support for the particular Macintosh. Please consider this reply as a mark that the reply from cor-el, while it was a correct answer, was not an answer to the particular question that was asked, i.e., "Not Helpful".

    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).

  • 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.
