How to cancel/delete itunes purchase/download

Okay so I decided to purchase a television show off iTunes, not knowing that my laptop didn't have enough memory. So it didn't finish downloading. Now I want to delete and erase the download. I tried right clicking on it and selecting "delete", but that didn't help. Every time I log in to iTunes, it attempts to download it again. I want it gone.
help?
* I already tried freeing up disk space on my computer *

I had the same problem. Tried deleting form "downloads" queue that lists current downloads. Couldn't right click the paused download (Windows uses right click, not sure about mac) but shows no menu. So I went to the "TV Shows" library which lets me right click the partially downloaded episode and select delete but nothing happens. After digging around in all the iTunes menu options I found that selecting the episode while in the "downloads" list and choosing "edit|delete" in the top menu bar the episode disappeared. Unfortunatly it does come back when I check for purchases but for now it's gone.

  • How can I delete iTunes purchased music

    Music I purchsed from iTunes is synced to my iPad. However, there are a couple of tracks I do not want but can find no way to delete them. I have deleted them from my iMac and Mac Mini but they still apear on the iPad. It's no big deal but I like to have control over devices I own and this is an irritation. How can I permanently delete purchased music from the iPad?

    OK so I'm answering my own question. After deleting purchased music from my iMac and Mac Mini, it still appeared on my iPad. However, on opening Music in the iPad, I found that by holding my finger against the track I wanted to delete and swiping to the right, a red DELETE tag appeared at the right-hand end of the track title line. Tapping this tab deleted the title and it has not returned. I repeated this for all of the purchased titles I wanted to remove and it has worked.
    I have not found any reference to this facility elsewhere but, believe me, it works.

    There is nothing that you can do to get rid of the balance on your own. Contact iTunes Store Support and seek their assistance. I believe that they can reset your balance for you.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Apple's policy on sales of digital content is that all sales are final. If however you wish to appeal to Apple, select the content which is causing a problem and use the 'Report a problem' button in Your Purchase History on your computer.
    Currently, if your purchase happens to be your most recent purchase you will not be redirected to the report form, in this case use the report a problem option from the invoice that was emailed to you.

  • How can I delete the purchased books list in iBook?

    How can I delete the purchased books list in iBook?

    Hi,
    Yes you are miss understanding the problem.  To clarify. The problem is not how to delete the book from a device, it is how to delete the puchase (i.e. the history).  You can hide it in your account settings, but you cannot delete it. So if you buy something on a shared account (i.e. a family account like mine), your children can see and download any of your puchases - forever.
    Some will say it's for your protection.  A bit like the shop looking after your receipt, so that you cannot lose it.
    However, I thought that as part of the data protection act, you could ask for this information kept about you to be deleted, but this doesn't apply to Apple purchases.  Believe me I've tried.

  • How do I delete iTunes 12 and reinstall 11? 12 installed itself and updated a Library.

    How do I delete iTunes 12?
    I want to use iTunes 11 to access an older Library on its own Hard Disk Drive.
    iTunes 12 installed itself, and the moment I opened it with one of my music Libraries, it updated the Library on that disks (and took forever—I have 27,000 tracks). (I thought I had automatic updates turned off. They are now! It has been listed at the App Store before this, but for some reason, this time it just installed at a Restart though I believe I never clicked on its Update button.)
    I tried deleting 12, but it complains it is part of Mac OS! (I didn't really know this.)
    I tried changing 12's permissions via Get Info, so I could Read & Write to the application. Nada. I also tried adding myself, and doing the same. Nothing.
    And I tried to install  iTunes 11.4 for OS X 10.6 after downloading it, but the install complained I had a newer version, and then quit.
    It seems I am stuck with iTunes 12, and have no other options.
    Sometimes Apple software *****. Whatever happened to Easy?
    Help!
    S.

    If you have a Time Machine backup or a clone from before the time you updated, you may be able to restore from there. The iTunes 11.4 download works only for Snow Leopard.
    ---| I want to use iTunes 11 to access an older Library on its own Hard Disk Drive.
    If that library is an .xml file you can move it to your desktop and in iTunes you can choose Import Playlist and select the Library.xml file. That will give you all the playlists on the old library.

    Itunes wont download because I dont have 10.6.8 or greater. But I just installed the snowlion disk thing and my macbook is a 10.6.8 version so how do I get itunes to download?

    Snow Leopard = OS X 10.6.x
    It is Not available as a download... It is a Paid Upgrade.
    Do this first...
    Check that your Mac meets the System Requirements for Snow Leopard...

  • How do you delete a purchased song that doesn't have a delete option when swiping?  This was a freebie when I first purchased my pad

    How do you delete a purchased song that doesn't give you the delete option when swiping?  This was a free song when I first got my pad. Now I can't delete it. I only get the play option, or to download it again.  The song is "Twinkling Lights", I think that's right.
    Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks!

    I think it is in the cloud, so how do I delete it?  Also, I have IOS 7.1.1

  • 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
