How to delete an ongoing download

I requested a free download of a Desperate Housewives episode. Well, it's taking too long on my satellite link and I want it to STOP! I can interrupt the process but I want to completely delete the "purchase" but it won't let me. So now everytime I open ITunes, it continues the download process. How do I get rid of this?
Thanks,
JG

Thanks much. I'm really not an idiot...no really! LOL. I kept trying to right-click on the item, then select DELETE like I do when deleting from LIBRARY and PLAYLISTS. But that wasn't happening.
YAY. Thanks again!

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.
Jack

How do delete ongoing downloads

Try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.

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.

No, but I did see that on some of the podcasts that I was able to download.

How to delete an incomplete download from iTune when "delete" function isn't available?

I recently rented a movie from iTune via iPad Air, the download of the movie never finished. It's still "processing" after 2 weeks. How do I delete this movie from Downloads? I haven't been able to access iTune store since this failed download. The "delete" bottom next to "cancel" is not availalbe on Downloads.

Reboot the iPad and then see if you can delete the stalled download. Try swiping across the progress bar as well after you reboot.

How to delete an unavailable downloading item from download list in iTune ?

I have been trying to download "Tutorial 1 GarageBand" but the page doesn't exist.
It is very annoying to see the red circle always showing up in the corner of the iTune download label,
and the "GarageBand Tutorials" always showing up as the first item whenever I try to download some
podcast episodes, meaning, the non-exist tutorial is always claiming a waiting spot to be downloaded.
Will highly appreciate it if someone shows me how to delete it from the download list.
Thank you.

By accident, I found the way - just SWIPE ACROSS the download arrow next to the title,
the arrow turns into a RED label with DELETE, tape on it and the item is removed from the
download list - tried everything last week and nothing worked. Got a LUCKY STRIKE in the
wee hours of this morning !!!

Open iTunes.
From the Library pop-up menu, choose Music.
Click Songs in the navigation bar.
Click the song you want to delete.
Press Delete on your keyboard.
In iTunes 11 or later, the album cover art will remain visible, but a Download icon will appear on it to allow you to download the item again (in countries that support this).

How to remove firefox ongoing download icon

I just want the home icon there, nothing else. For some reason the ongoing download icon is up and i have no idea what pushed to display it, but I'm hoping I can remove it from the screen.

Move that icon into the Customize Palette.

How to delete a song downloaded to iPhone?

I downloaded a free album some time ago and later was able to delete all the songs but one from my iPhone. They are no longer on my MacBook either. The deleted songs show up only if I turn on "Show All Music' in my iPhone settings. But one track will not delete. I have tried swiping across it to display the delete button; that doesn't work. I tried resyncing my iPhone and unchecking EVERY SONG, playlist and album in iTunes on my MacBook and every other album deletes. But I cannot get this last song to delete. I'd also like to get rid of those previously downloaded, now deleted, albums altogether; I have no use for them. I've thought about resetting my phone to factory settings, but I don't want to lose all my phone contacts. Any ideas?

OK. Please ignore above post. I found a relevant post and got rid of the last song on my iPhone. But I still don't know how to get them to delete from download record, but I can ignore that via settings. Thanks.
