How do i stop an app from downloading on my mac pro?

okay - so here goes. i went and opened the app store application on my mac pro. i saw the app for downloading Lion 10.7.3.  at present i have Lion 10.7.2. so i figured, well, i already purchased Lion, so this upgrade should be free - and i clicked install. it asked for my apple id and password. i entered it - and it began to download Lion 10.7.3.
only then i saw the price tag on the side and thought to myself, "$&#%, what if i'm being charged for this?" so i went and did my "softward update" check. low and behold, waiting for me is 10.7.3.
so here's where i'm at. i have 10.7.3. downloading as an app (potentially i'm PAYING for it!), and i have it "paused" right now.
i want to simply install 10.7.3 as an update, which i KNOW IS FREE.
but i can't seem to delete the download that's paused right now (which I might be PAYING for).
so...any advice?
thanks. ha! this is ridiculous.

If you already purchased it with the same Apple ID, then you will not be re-charged.

    You use the Transfer Purchases function in iTunes. This will only put the applications into the computer's iTunes library for storage or transport; running them on your computer requires the Mac OS X version, which is a separate product, and if the developer chooses, a separate purchase.

    If there are multiple apps trying to download at once, only one can download at a time and the rest say "Waiting" until it is then their turn. Try this. Double tap the icon of the Waiting app, and it should resume the download.

    Another thing to try - Turn the iPad Off & then back ON.
    If that doesn't work:
    •  Log out of your iTunes store account.  Go to Settings > Store > Sign Out Then press the Home button.
    • Then press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously and don't release them when it brings up the Turn Off screen; keep holding them until the Apple logo appears.
    • After restart, the Waiting should be gone.

    the item has already downloaded but a 'ghost' download keeps trying but fails to download.
    annoying!

    Hello Hockeygurl12
    If you are having an issue with your purchase, you should be able to go to the iTunes Store app, tap on More and then Downloads. Then you should be able to swipe from right to left to delete it. Then you can try to download it again from the Music app. If you are still unable to download your track, the report the issue to the iTunes Store.

    Perform a "hard reset" on the device by pressing down and holding the home button and the sleep/wake button for up to 30secs. until you see a black screen with the Apple logo, then release.
    Then test to see if it solved the problem.

  • How can i stop my apps from transferring off my ipod when the software updates?

    whenever i install new software updates, my ipod touch takes everything off and transfers it to my computer. when it puts everything back, anything ive paid for i lose. is there is way to stop the apps from transferring so i dont lose everything ive already paid for, or losing my place in a game i play?

    In iTunes use the File menu "Transfer purchases from..." item. Ordinarily you will get a warning to do this before an update. Presumably your computer is authorized to use your account and it is the computer to which you normally sync your iPod?

  • How to stop Lion App from Downloading

    I just started downloading the Lion Os. I began to read the reviews and got worried so I paused the download on my macbook pro. I am not good with computers that is why I got a mac. I blindly got this app but I cannot take time to try to fix all the potential problems and changes. I don't need a refund I just need to avoid hassles. Please help.

    Click & hold on the Dock icon and you should see a pause option. Alternattively, Mac Apple Store->Purchases should show the DL status and give you an option to pause it. Finally, if it finishes DLing and starts the installer, just quit it. You have to actively choose to run the installer once it downloads to your /Applicatiions folder.

  • How do I stop my iPad from downloading songs from iTunes match?

    I wanted to download some songs onto my iPad from my iTunes Match library as I was going to be out for a few days. Three songs in, my router crashed through no fault of my own(someone was messing with the cable company connections without knowing what they were doing, apparently), and now I have 513 songs (most of which I did not choose to download but instead they got mistakenly added to a much smaller playlist...) downloading. I cannot feasibly go through my iTunes Match library and stop download of all 513 songs individually, and for some reason they are not downloading and not stalling out, probably because there are so many of them and my router is back online and so it is trying to download all at once and so slowing down to a standstill???
    How do I stop download of all those songs without hard-restarting my iPad?

    The iPad will use whatever the best service that is available - if you are in an area where 3G coverage is patchy (which may be due to reception or the network bandwidth being used up) then it will step down to Edge, and then possibly down to GPRS.

  • How do I stop my phone from downloading every email when updating software?

    Everytime I update, or have to restore my phone it decides to download all emails that I have deleted previously. How do I stop this from happening?

    If you network operator supports it, I suggest that you try to enable the automatic time update function in the phone.
    Menu > Organizer > Clock > Options > Settings > Automatic time update.
    See if that might solve the problem.
    If you still are having problems with this or if this is not supported by your network operator I think this will have to be checked at a repair center.
    In that case contact your local support team for more info.

  • How do I remove an app from download list in app store.

    I made the mistake of signing up for the new photos app for the mac, not realizing I would have to also install the beta for the Yosemite update.  I think I better not do this but I have the app siting in my app store updates list.  Can I remove the app without downloading it?  Or should I download it and then just trash it?  I was willing to deal with a potentially unstable photo app but do not want to have an unstable OS.  (Maybe you can tell I am not the most experienced user here).

    thank you for your replies.  yes I do use time machine!  My problem is that i recently installed parallels and run some windows financial programs and don't want to risk impairing the virtual machine functions.  i guess I need to go over to the parallels people and ask them--.  Sounds like the worst that could happen is I would learn how to re-install using time machine.

  • How can i stop ios 6 from downloading

    Hello i started downloading ios 6 and my friend says it makes your ipod slow how can i stop it and keep it at 5.1.1

    You can try turing off wifi/place in airplane mode and resetting the iPod. Nothiong should be lost except hopefully you will have to manually restart the download which you do not do.
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
