How do I delete "Pending Available Downloads" from my queue?

How do I delete "Pending Available Downloads" from the list permanently?  I got a full season of a TV show, and all the HD versions won't go away!

Hi. I googled How to Delete Pending Downloads in iTunes and I found this info on answers.com. It worked for me. I had 35 pending downloads and every time I tried to delete them, they reappear every time I open iTunes and automatically start downloading to my pc. So annoying! Good luck...
On PC, go to /Users/yourUserName/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/Downloads/ 
Delete any folder for the download you want to remove
Delete the file list.plist 
When you next start iTunes or update apps the unwanted download will not start  
If you interrupt a download in the future a new list.plist will be created containing the interrupted download and the original unwanted download

  • How to delete an "Available Download" from iTunes Store account?

    Greetings,
    I’ve downloaded various “free TV episodes” to my MacBook Pro from the iTunes Store, watched them, and deleted them. 
    The problem is that the next time I start up iTunes on my MacBook, iTunes automatically goes to the iTunes Store and begins “Checking for Available Downloads,” where the already deleted (from my MacBook) “free TV episodes” are *still* listed on my iTunes Store account as “available for download”.  Thus, the downloads start to download again (and again, and again, and again . . .) automatically - after they've been deleted (repeatedly).
    I’ve logged into my iTunes Store account to see if I might delete these listed items directly, but I see no place where I might access a list of “Available Downloads” so that I might update it.  Can anyone help with how I might *permanently delete* the already downloaded and already deleted items?
    Thanks Much!

    Reboot the iPad and then see if you can delete the stalled download. Try swiping across the progress bar as well after you reboot.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • How do I delete digital movie downloads from I cloud

    I have a half dozen or so digital movie downloads in iTunes. I think they were originally downloaded onto my iPad 2. And then shared via the cloud with all of my Mac devices ( MacBook, iphone 5, iphone 4, iPad 2 and iPad 1). One of the movies is copying itself onto my Mac hundreds of times. I highlighted the copies and clicked delete. Clicked move to trash. They all cleared and then started popping back up at about 1 copy every 2-3 minutes. How can I stop this? Thank you for any help.

    I'm not sure you can delete them from iCloud.  They don't use your personal iCloud storage.  You can hide them though, as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4919.
    If iTunes is acting up, try signing out of your Apple ID (Store>Sign Out).  Then quite iTunes (command-Q), restart your Mac, then go back and open iTunes again and sign back in with your ID (Store>Sign In).  See if works properly now.

  • How to remove available downloads from the list

    There is not a way to remove them from the list.  Just let them download, and then delete them from your library when they are done.

  • How to delete paused application download from iphone

    Hi,
    Can anybody please let me know how to delete paused application download from iphone.

    Hello, flowerpet1.  Thank you for your reply.  Interestingly, your instructions worked on my iPad Mini, where I had the same problem.  The update module was listed under "Usage" and I was able to delete it.  Although I still have the red circle with "1" in it over my Settings icon on the home page, the status under Software Update is now "Download and Install" instead of just "Install".  Also, the available storage on the Usage screen has increased by about 4.2 GB.
    On my iPhone 5S, however, I'm not quite sure what the situation is now.  The IOS 8 update module does not show under "Usage".  However, the status under Software Update has also changed to "Download and Install" instead of just "Install"--but without my doing anything to the phone.  Maybe the update file was removed from the phone when I removed it from the iPad.  I don't remember what the available storage was before, so I don't know if I recouped any space.
    Anyway, your reply was a big help.  Thank you very much.

  • I have apps from old work account that I can't remember the password to. On my personal phone those apps keep showing up but I can't update them because I can't remember the password. How can I delete them and download on my new account?

    I have apps from old work account that I can't remember the password to. On my personal phone those apps keep showing up but I can't update them because I can't remember the password. How can I delete them and download on my new account?

    Tap and hold an app until they all start jiggling and an X appears in the icon's top left corner. One by one tap the X to delete the app. when they are all gone you are free to buy them again with your own account.

    Hey there Matt.dvs1,
    Although there is not a way to remove past purchases from your iTunes account completely, you can hide them so that you don't have to see them if you don't want to. This article will help you do that:
    iTunes Store: Hiding and unhiding purchases - Apple Support
    Hide your purchases
    Open iTunes on your Mac or PC.
    From the Store menu, choose Store > Sign In, and then enter your Apple ID and password.
    Go to the iTunes Store.
    Click Purchased from the Quick Links section on the right side of the iTunes Store.
    Choose a content type by clicking Music, Movies, TV Shows, Apps, or Books from the top of the window.
    A list of your purchased items for the content type you are viewing will appear. Mouse over the item you want to hide until an X appears its top-left corner.
    A confirmation dialog will appear once you click the X.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the best,
    Sterling

  • How do I delete pending itune purchases?

    How do I delete pending itune purchases?
    When I download an app, itunes tells me I have 24 pending purchases.  I use a giftcard to make purchase, but now I'm apprehensive to load another card.
    Your help is appreciated.

    You can finish the download to your computer, which is faster, or you can contact support and request to remove the items on you download queue.
    http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/
    Having items on your download queue should not affect the available store credits on your account.
    Hope this help.

  • How do i delete my iCloud account from my iPad with an updated Apple ID?

    How do i delete my iCloud account from my iPad with an updated Apple ID?
    It requires i log into FindMyiPad to delete the iCloud account however the Apple ID has changed therefore the username/password no longer exists.
    This is just sending me in circles to log into to a non-existant apple id with no password to delete my iCloud so i can log in with my updated apple ID.

    Settings/iTunes and App Store log out then log in with new ID.  you might want to change ID in iMessage, FaceTime and Siri and delete the cloud account and create one with new ID.  remember apps are forever linked to the ID used to download them and can only be updated with that ID
