How to pause a dmg download?

I'm downloading a huge .dmg file and I can't do it all in one sitting. How do I pause it without losing the progress I've made? Thanks for any help.

If you right click on the file download icon in the lower left is there a choice to pause or is it just cancel? If not I would just let it download. You can continue doing other tasks at the same time.

I started to download Maverick but then read that Word and Excel do not work with Maverick. I hit pause on the download. How do I stop the download. In non technical terms please!

How do I stop the download of Maverick on my MacBookPro? I started downloading then discovered that 2008 Word and Excel do not work with Maverick. I have too many files in the 2008 version to upgrade them at this time. I just need instructions in non technical terms to stop the Maverick download.

I did the same as Tapmr and have paused the "upgrade". So am I to understand that the upgrade only downloads and will not automatically install it? I am an extreme novice here, and cannot afford any issues after I upgrade/download. I don't know how to make a clone copy as you suggested either.
I need assurance that if the upgrade is allowed to continue that I will be able to delete the upgrade downloaded and continue on as before with my regular system.

HT4461 How can I cancel a download once it starts? I started a download with software update and decided I don't want it. I can pause the download, but I want to cancel entirely

I started to download from software update and decided I don't want the items after the download had begun. How can I cancel a download? I don't want to just pause it, I want it to GO AWAY. I don't want it to resume any time ever.

How Do I Delete a download on my macbook pro

How do I delete a download from my macbook pro OSX Mavericks OSX 10.9.5

If you haven't installed it, control-click the Downloads icon on the Dock, choose Show in Finder or Open Downloads, select that item, throw it away, and empty the Trash. If it's a dmg, you may need to unmount that first.
If you've drag-installed an application, remove it as above.
If you've actually run an installer, find and use an uninstaller.

HT204370 I paused the movie download but did not turn off my IPad. When I returned to restart, it has said "waiting" for over an hour.

I paused the movie download but did not turn off my IPad. When I returned to complete the download, the "waiting" message has been on the screen for over an hour. How can I complete the download?

I recommend purchasing lion on a USB drive at Apple Store. This will avoid all of the downloading hassles.
Also, be sure you clone your hard drive first. A lot of people want to go back to Snow Leopard and if you choose to do this cloning will make the process very easy.

How do I set my downloads to open in the finder ?

How do I set my downloads to open?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
If I understand your question correctly, you want to know how to 'open', view, or install something you've successfully downloaded from the internet and saved in the Downloads folder.
I am unable to determine which operating system you are using on your MacBook. Your profile lists iOS 5, but iOS5 is for an iPod Touch, iPhone, or iPad, not MacBook.
Your MacBook likely has one of the OS X 'cats': 10.4 Tiger, 10.5 Leopard, 10.6 Snow Leopard, or 10.7 Lion. Click on the Apple icon in the top left menubar and select About This Mac to see which operating system you are using.
If you are using OS X 10.7 "Lion", you should post your question in the OS X 10.7 Lion forum here:
https://discussions.apple.com/community/mac_os/mac_os_x_v10.7_lion
These instructions are for a Mac using OS X 10.6 "Snow Leopard" but the process is very similar with OS X 10.5 Leopard.
Here's one way:
Open Finder by clicking on the icon in the lower left corner of your Dock.
Under Places in the left column, click on the 'House' icon in the left column. It probably has your name after it.
That will open a list of file folders and files in the right column.
Click on the Downloads folder.
Clicking on the Name column heading in the right column will sort the file list by that column.
Clicking on the column heading a second time will sort the file list in reverse order.
Locate the file you want.
Single click on the filename and press the space bar to preview many types of files, including documents, spreadsheets, and images.
To open the file, double-click on the filename.
If the file has the extension .dmg, it is a disk image file (program to be installed) and will open the file installer dialog. You will likely need to enter your Administrator password to install the program.

How do I delete a downloading movie?

Hello,
I tried to download a movie onto my ipad using itunes. However, I downloaded the HD movie instead of the SD one, so now i do not have enough storage space avaliable to actually download it. How do i delete the download so I can purchase the SD version? Thanks in advance!

See if you can tap on the download to pause it. Then try swiping across the progress bar to try to delete it. If you can't delete it, you may have to contact iTunes Store support in order to get out of this fix.

How can i get or download the apple hardware test for a macbook pro made in 2012 running Mavericks 10.9.3

Does anyone know how can i get or download the apple hardware test for a macbook pro made in 2012 running Mavericks 10.9.3. Thanks.

Sean and Andy -
I have to agree with Andy here. I am having the same problem on a mid 2010 MBP (6,2). I have already read the AHT info provided by Sean's link, and they are less than helpful. I'm sure they will be helpful to those who find that they work, but they are confusing if this is not the case. For example, my MBP(6,2) came with ONE (not two) installation disks, so the instructions don't work for me. Another issue is the instructions confound the descriptions related to the MBP, the original (delivered) software (OS X version), and the current installed OS X upgrade software.
So here's what does NOT work for me...
     (A) I cannot install 'Disk 2', since I never received this with my original (new) purchase in mid 2010.
     (B) I have checked my firmware versions and they are all up to date, as per Apple's information.
     (C) As suggested in another thread, I looked for /Library/Core Services/.diagnostics and it was NOT present. I followed his instructions, downloaded the correct (I believe) dmg, and installed it. It is in the correct place, and I can see all the invisible files using Pathfinder.
     (D) When I re-start holding down the D key (immediately), it just goes through the normal boot routine; no evidence of AHT.
     (E.1) When I re-start holding down OPT-D, I get a spinning globe, and then it prompts me for a network (wi-fi) connection.
     (E.2) For some unknown reason, the prompt identifies between 2 and 5 of my --neighbors'-- routers, but does not show mine. (??!!)
     (E.3) The routers are listed alphabetically; however, my router SHOULD be at the top of the list by this criterion, but it is nowhere to be seen.
     (E.4) The 'internet recovery' process then allows me to enter a network name AND password. I do this, for my current wi-fi router, and the process rejects it as an incorrect login ID. It is NOT an incorrect login ID!
So, now asking Sean and Andy (or anyone else) for further suggestions... ??? As Andy suggested, many people ask questions here because they have -already- worked through the 'official' recommendations, and have found them to be inadequate.
Any advice would be appreciated! TIA.
Ed

DMG Download Corrupted

There have been many posts with users expressing problems getting DMG's to mount. "Invalid Checksum" or "Codec Overrun" errors are common.
I am experiencing problems with large (> 10MB) DMG files that I download either from Software Update, Safari or FireFox. Since I've got two Macs, I've been able to do some testing. Here's what I've found:
Mac 1 is running 10.4.4. It has the DMG download problem.
Mac 2 is running 10.4.4. It's working fine.
If I download DMG's on Mac 1, I will receive an "Invalid Checksum" error and they will fail to mount.
If I download DMG's on Mac 2 and copy them to Mac 1, DMG's mount fine - no problem.
If I download DMG's on Mac 1 and copy to Mac 2, I get "Invalid Checksum" errors. (Thus, this is how know that the DMG's are arriving corrupted).
If I log in as "root" on Mac 1 and try downloading, I get the same corrupted DMG's (I looked at the checksum using DiskUtility). So, I know the problem (most likely) does not lie within the realm of my user folder.
So, the DMG's on Mac 1 are downloading improperly. This smells like a network transfer issue, but, I don't know where to start. There's probably a file that's bad, somewhere.
If anyone at Apple reads these emails, or, if there's anyone with some suggestions as to what I could try, please respond. I would like to get this issue resolved and post something to help others with the same problem.
PowerBook G4 and PowerMac G4 Mac OS X (10.4.4) "Invalid Checksum" "Codec Overrun"

Seconding this, I'm having the same experience. I maintain my machine religiously, running DiskWarrior on a regular basis, using MainMenu to clear caches and such. But I also get frequent, if not constant, checksum errors on large DMG files. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Are you using Firefox 15? I know there was a bug for it. On Firefox Beta - Firefox 16 this problem is fixed. You can download the Firefox Beta app from Play store.

Un pausing my app download

hi,
so i purchased an app in the app store suddenly it says paused and wont download no matter what i do, how do i un pause please?:)

Try tapping the app that says paused, this should allow you to resume the download.
You can also try turning the iPhone off and then back on. Just hold the Sleep button and then slide to power off, then press Sleep again to turn it back on.
Also, make sure there aren't any paused downloads in any other apps, like iTunes.
