How do you stop a download

Ok this new version of Itunes is absolutely TERRIBLE.They removed items I LIKED seeing on the left ( Like downloads), No hover over explantion of the CLoud crap next to a show, that is now DOWNLOADING.. and I have no way to STOP it.
Just a TERRBILE design... NO FEEDBACK, No Continuity...
WHo ever thought this was a simple design, had a SIMPLE mind, with a LACK of realizing people like to have the details able to be controlled by the USER, vice blending it into a CLOUD of CRAP... that's as hazzy as humid day in a tropical island.

I found this hint that you might find useful:
Click & hold on the Dock icon and you should see a pause option.
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.
I hope you'll post the results of the fix on this thread!

  • HOW DO YOU STOP A DOWNLOAD IN A TAB?

    While enquiring about the same product from different sites, say, I decide on one site before all others have completed downloading their info. However, to ensure I do not cancel/lose all the sites being investigated, I desire to stop them downloading while I examine the chosen site. Should the chosen site prove unacceptable, I can simply continue with the downloads from the other sites by clicking on "Reload" in each tab. Presently, this is not possible as I have to kill each tab which means I lose that option.
    Please help. Where am I missing it? (I have just chosen Mozilla and cancelled Google Chrome - I am sure you chaps can help).
    Kindest regards,
    Paul.

    Tnks cor-el - but that really does not help. Let me restate the problem. I have 4 tabs open - searching for one item, say an MP3 song. One of those sites locates the song. Rather than lose those other 3 sites before I confirm the quality of the one located, I just want to stop the downloads of those 3 other sites - doing so also frees up the power on my PC. If the chosen site is no good, I simply proceed with the other 3 sites. Basically I can not locate the "X" that was available in GOOGLE, to stop a download in a tab - that is the crux of my problem.

  • How do you stop a download once started?

    I often want to stop a movie download on ATV after it has commenced. How do I do this?

    If you watch other content/reboot etc it will be flushed from the system. However, once it has been rented and starts to load you will be charged.

  • HT4539 How do you stop a download from downloading completely?

    I started downloading a movie to my Ipad Mini and realized it was going to take too long, so I wanted to stop it and remove it from being downloaded. How do I do that?

    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  and ask them if they'll remove the item(s) from your queue for you.
    Regards.

  • How do you stop downloading itunes match songs to iphone 5

    How do you stop downloading itunes match songs to iphone 5?
    Cell data is turned off but it is still downloading.

    When you initially enable iTunes Match on any iDevice it is wise to let it operate for a good period docked or with good WiFi.
    Best route to stop it if essential is to switch off iTunes Match.

    How do you stop download of OS Yosemite. I started the download but changed my mind. can i stop the download or remove the upgrade after download.
    Thank You,

    I don't know of a way to stop the download, but when it finishes it will run automatically. Simply quit the installer. You can then delete it from the Applications folder like any other file.

  • HT4753 How do you stop preview from auto save

    How do you stop preview from doing AutoSave?
    Preivew keeps saving different copies of a pdf I am working on (highlighting/annotating), and I now only have 1GB left on my harddrive (had 180GB left).

    If you are using Safari, look at Safari > Preferences > General and make sure 'Open "safe" files after downloading' is not checked.  Other browsers should have a similar setting in their preferences.

    How do I stop a download when it is too slow?

    Solved my own problem:  Go to the sidebar on i Tunes to "Downloads" and click on this.  It will show current downloads.  Click on the download you wish to delete and then click on "delete" in the File menu.  You can also shift-click to delete a range of items.

  • How do I stop auto downloading?

    How do I stop automatic downloading of movies/tv shows?
    Every time I open itunes all my past media purchases automatically start to download.
    Preferences does not give the option to select/deselect movies/tv shoiws,
    Help me please!

    What are they downloading on (computer's iTunes, iOS device), and are they new purchases (e.g. did you have automatic downloads turned 'on' when bought them), or have you gone into the Purchased section and clicked/tapped on 'download all' ?
    In the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of a computer's iTunes, on the Music section there is a 'download all' button to download all your past music purchases (those that are still in the store and not hidden) ; and on an iOS device, in the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app there is a 'download all songs' button
