I downloaded iOS6, but didn't install it. How do I delete the file?

I won't install iOS6 until the maps feature is fixed. I have less than 1 GB available, and need to get rid of this file to free up some space. Thanks . . .

I am getting an error message that I don't have enough space to download what's in my queue. How do I delete the files waiting to be downloaded...they are tv shows.

How can I delete files that are waiting to be downloaded? I no longer want them and they won't all fit.

If downalods won't fit on yrou computer, ou should clear up your drive by removing unsed programs and documents.
As a general rule, you should keep 10%-15% free drive space on your boot drive.

Downloaded IOS8 but it didnt install- Update is keeping me over the 4.6 GBs i need

Hi All,
I have an iPhone 4s that I was trying to update to IOS8 last night. I deleted enough things to free up the memory to download the update. Once I did, the update downloaded but took a long time on the "preparing update" portion with the progress bar stuck at about half. Since it was taking so long I went to sleep. I woke up this morning with no IOS8 running on my phone and now the update has taken up enough space that I dont have the 4.6GBs free anymore. I'm not deleting anymore stuff so: How do I delete the update or get the thing to install?
Any ideas?

Hello Sophie,
I think you should update to the highest level for your particular OS. Follow these suggestions and be aware it is a big (but free) update.
Once you are on Snow Leopard 10.3 to 10.6 you will need to apply the Combo updater. Click on this ☟
Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1
and when it is installed follow by going to software update to pick up the later security and iTunes improvements. This update should see you with the Garage band version for that 10.6.8 OS.

I download confidential info & save to a secured flash drive; how can I delete the file from "downloads" after that?

I am a mental health professional. My supervisor emails me confidential information as Word documents, which I download using Firefox. When the download is complete, I open the document and save it to my secured flash drive. I would like to then delete the file from my computer, so the flash drive has the only copy, to protect my clients' privacy. The only directions I can find are for deleting the entry from the downloads list, but not the file itself.

There is technology known as RMS which you could set series of policies like only members in the company could access certain documents and if someone copy them and attempt to run them in another PC or outside company, it won't work. Take a look at:

I have a "download error" of a purchased movie. How do I delete the download attempt?

I have a "download error" of a purchased movie that I was attempting to download to my iPad. How do I delete the download attempt? Since it has been there several weeks now, it is safe to assume it is not going to download to my iPad. I just want to get rid of it!

Perhaps try the "Error -50," "-5000," "8003," "8008," or "-42023" section in the Specific Conditions and Alert Messages: (Mac OS X / Windows) section of the following document:

How do I delete the files on my hard drive but keep all the applications?

I have an old MacBook Pro. By old, I mean abiut three or four years. I recently upgraded to Lion, but I have so many files that my system is forever showing thte rainbow spinner. I copied everything to an external hard drive, and would like to erase everything but my applications. Is there an easy way to do this?

Ok....Here we go.....
First open disk utility - then hit verify your disk.
Once that's done, verify your disk permissions - hit repair disk permissions if there are errors.
Once that's all done, restart your macbook.
Now you've done all those, delete all the files you've copied over to your backup/external drive.
If you've made folders for them, you can safely delete them. Only do this if you've made copies of those files in your external drive.
most of those files will probably in your document/movies/pictures folder. If you've copied them over to your external then you can delete them. Be sure you have copies before you delete them.
also delete anything in your download folder.
once you've done those, go to the appstore and download ccleaner. it is a small yet effective hard drive cleaner. no advance settings to mess around with. it will just delete your cache files and old log files.
good luck.
PS - to delete some of them you must move your mouse over it, tap once then keep your finger in the shift button then use your arrow keys to highlight them. once you've highlighed those files, right click on them then move to trash.

I have sent a file to the trash bin. When I come to empty the trash bin everything goes out except this one particular file and I get a note saying the file is 'in use' but it is not. How can I delete this file from trash?

I have a Macbook Pro with OS X Lion 10.7.2. I have sent a work file to the trash bin along with many other files. When I empty the trash this one particular file remains and I get a message that this file is still in use. I have tried returning the file to my documents, opening it, closing it and then sending it to trash and again I try to empty trash but the same message comes up - Q - How can I trash this file permanently?

First just try logging out and back in. Whatever is holding on to it may not be running after the logout thus freeing it so you can trash it after logging back in.
You might also try Trash It!
Lastly, look at the following for suggestions:

Files disappeared after running disk utility disk repair but still space still remains. how do i recover the files?

stupidly repaired my external hard disk without backing it up via mavericks's disk utility repair option.
After the repair, all my folders disappeared but at the same time I noticed that the disk space still remained the same. Is there anyway to get these files back? My thesis is on it.

General File Recovery
If you stop using the drive it's possible to recover deleted files that have not been overwritten by using recovery software such as MAC Data Recovery, Data Rescue II, File Salvage or TechTool Pro. Each of the preceding come on bootable CDs to enable usage without risk of writing more data to the hard drive. Two free alternatives are Disk Drill and TestDisk. Look for them and demos at MacUpdate or CNET Downloads. Recovery software usually provide trial versions that enable you to determine if the software would help before actually paying for it. Beyond this or if the drive has completely failed, then you would need to send the drive to a recovery service which is very expensive.
The longer the hard drive remains in use and data are written to it, the greater the risk your deleted files will be overwritten.
Also visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on Data Recovery.

How to install previously downloaded app? (Downloaded Mountain Lion, didn't install yet)

Downloaded Mountain Lion but didn't install at the time...rebooted then in App Store it showed the "app" was downloaded but there didn't appear to be any way to install it. Clicking on the item (in the "purchases" tab) took me to the app description, but without any option to install, just download. But I already did that!
Does this mean I need to re-download and therefore imply that installation is required BEFORE you reboot?????
I already tried to click again the "download" option, but that just started to re-download Mountain Lion, and so I cancelled that, and now Mountain Lion doesn't even show in the Purchases tab! So now I may have no option.
Poor job Apple!
Can anyone clarify the process?

Check if it's in the Applications folder. If it's not, you'll need to redownload it.

I downloaded Firefox 5 but, won't install. Says can't fined my file.

I downloaded Firefox again and again and each time after the download when I try to install it I get the same message,
"can't find the file location"
I'm using Firefox 3:6:19
The bookmarks don't work either. They disappeared and can't make new ones.
I also tried to update to version 3:6:21 it downloaded but didn't install.
Other than that the version works.

Sorry that you are having a problem installing the drivers.
Are you trying to download from the Cd or the website?
Have you had the drivers downloaded before?

Itunes 8 downloads ok but won't install (not updating)

Hi everyone.
Got an ipod for xmas, downloaded itunes 8 for 1st time (not updating), downloads ok, but when opening install program, "open file - security warning" dialog box opens, i click on run, the "unidentified program wants access to your computer" dialog box opens, i click the allow button, i get the 'thinking' cursor for 1 second then nothing happens.
I'm running it as an adminstrator, i've tried running the program in xp service pack 2 mode, i've redownloaded it 3 times, same thing every time i try. not a 64bit machine, i get no errors, it just does nothing.
The file i download is 67,146kb so something is actually there, can anybody please help, this is frustrating and my new ipod is a paperweight.

Hi Polydorus - Happy New Year!!! Thanks for your time and reply.
Yes i have a 32bit version of windows vista (premium)
Yes i downloaded itunes from the apple site, saved it and when i try to run it i get the hourglass for 1 second then nothing.
Looked in the task manager and nothing is running.
Never had any problem installing anything else or anything windows related.
I have spybot (rescanning now) and my antivirus is Nod32 so no risk of anything there. I even tried installing in safe mode, but no luck.
I am running firefox, not I.E. but that shouldn't matter.
I realize this is where people with problems come to gripe, but there seems to me to be a LOT of problems associated with itunes?
Spybot found nothing, Nod32 is Hey?????
While typing this, i was downloading Quicktime from the link you sent to test if that works, the file I've downloaded was named itunes setup(2) shouldn't it be quicktime?????? Guess it automatically called it (2) cause i already got itunes setup in my download folderit's the exact same size as the itunes setup file i've been downloading??????
Now the apple website actually says thanks for downloading Quicktime 7 not a thing about itunes.
Click on the download now link on the site you sent me, http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/ wants to download me the itunes file not quicktime??? Try it !!
Maybe the people at apple got on the grog a bit before Christmas???
NOW itunes is installed AND RUNNING !!!!!!!!!
WHAT THE ..... ???????????
This is really weird.
Will connect ipod and see if this actually works or is a mirage and repost results.
That might be a fix, download it from the quicktime download link???????????, or rename it with a (2) ????

hi there,
if I remember correctly the error code -1 indicates a hardware problem. In that case, you should take your iPhone to an Apple store and have them do some diagnostics.
See http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694 for details.
