Remove or Delete an unsuccessful download

I was trying to download the manual for my Mac Air; when I was prompted to download Acrobat reader. I tried to downloaded without success. it seem to keep getting stuck at 56%. I cancel the download and the program prompted me to try again.  I did, and again, it failed. I ended with to downloads that I can't delete or remove. Does anyone have any suggestions to solve this problem?

If the files are in your download folder, there is no reason that you would be unable to drag them to the trash.

  • How do I permanently remove or delete a partially downloaded HD movie from my iPhone?

    I purchased a movie in HD from my iPhone, which I now know can't be done. It started downloading and is now frozen in "Processing" mode. I can pause the processing but is there some way to permanently delete the download from my iPhone? I have already synced the movie to a laptop so I am not worried about losing it.

    I had the movie paused for the last 3 or 4 days and noticed that it has now disappeared from my iPHONE. No worries now. I will remember next time to download to the computer first!

  • Had to remove itunes from my computer to reset the computer. Now I'm having problems syncing my iphone with the computer. Computer is saying it wants to download updates to the phone but that will delete things I downloaded straight from the phone. Help!

    iTunes thinks you have a new computer because you restored the OS. Open iTunes and authorize it to the same account you have on the iPhone. Did you restore your iTunes content from a backup after resetting your computer? Have you been syncing regularly with the computer, and does the iTunes library on the computer contain your apps, music and videos? If so just sync and your content will be removed then restored.
    If you have not hopefully you have now learned something. You can recover apps and purchased songs by connecting the phone, without syncing, and choose "Transfer purchases..." from the File menu.

  • I have downloaded songs from iTunes to my iPad/iPhone but they keep being removed and delete

    im using my iPad and iPhone on iOS8, and I am update to date, I have songs on iTunes that I have downloaded to both devices but for some reason they keep getting removed and I have to download again,any ideas....?

    If you are now in the US then you can only use the US store, so you should update the address on your account
    Changing country : Change the country of your iTunes Store, App Store, iBooks Store, and Mac App Store account.
    Had you copied the songs over to your computer's iTunes library, do they show in the Music section on it ? You can copy purchases that you still have on your iPad over to your computer's iTunes library via the File > Devices > Transfer Purchases menu option

  • My "Hanging with Friends" app keeps crashing whenever I try to open it. I have deleted and re-downloaded the app, restarted my iPhone, and even restored my iPhone all together, and nothing is working. How can I get this app to work again?

    Can you start Firefox in [[Safe mode]] ?
    You can also do a clean reinstall and download a fresh Firefox copy from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html and save the file to the desktop.
    Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
    It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    You can initially skip the step to create a new profile, that may not necessary for this issue.

  • 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

  • I cannot download Mavericks. Every time the file download stops a message appears that says the file is damaged and cannot be used to install Mavericks. I delete the file, download again and the same message appears. What can I do?

    I only have one video project that I ever published to iDisk. It didn't have any music or photo files attatched to it, just a few clips stitched together. I can play these clips right now in the Event Library (so I know the source files are on my computer), but strangely, under the Project Library, the project is not there. I'm almost certain that I didn't store the project on iDisk; I just completed the video and published it to iDisk (as a .mov file I think) for family to see. I've tried to figure out how to get iDisk to stop looking for this project to no avail.
    I don't know if others have experienced this, but if I click on any project and on the menu bar select Share --> Remove From --> Media Browser... it lists iPod, iPhone, iPad, tv, Computer and MobileMe. Why would MobileMe be an option here? This is the case for any video project I select. Didn't iLife '11 and/or OSX 10.8 remove all mention of MobileMe? I wonder if this is part of the problem too.
    Edit: I just removed every project I have from the Media Browser. Still no luck.

  • Hi, I tried to download a bunch of my favourite TV episodes.  I was unable to get them all due to lack of storage.  I increased my storage but the downloads didn't come.  I tried deleting the already downloaded and viewed episodes but don't know how.

    Hi, I tried to download a bunch of my favourite TV episodes.  I was unable to get them all due to lack of storage.  I increased my storage but the downloads didn't come.  I tried deleting the already downloaded and viewed episodes but don't know how.
    I'm wondering if I should increase my storage again but I'm not sure that's the issue.

    You need more storage on your iPad, however, it can't be increased. iCloud storage is ecternal to the iPad and is used for backup.
    You need to delete some item on the iPad.

    How Do I Get Rid Of The “Other” Data Stored On My iPad Or iPhone?
    http://tinyurl.com/85w6xwn
    With an iOS device, the “Other” space in iTunes is used to store things like documents, settings, caches, and a few other important items. If you sync lots of documents to apps like GoodReader, DropCopy, or anything else that reads external files, your storage use can skyrocket. With iOS 5/6/7, you can see exactly which applications are taking up the most space. Just head to Settings > General > Usage, and tap the button labeled Show All Apps. The storage section will show you the app and how much storage space it is taking up. Tap on the app name to get a description of the additional storage space being used by the app’s documents and data. You can remove the storage-hogging application and all of its data directly from this screen, or manually remove the data by opening the app. Some applications, especially those designed by Apple, will allow you to remove stored data by swiping from left to right on the item to reveal a Delete button.
    There are some wireless external hard drives that can be used with the iPad.

    We are fellow users here on these user-to-user forums, you're not talking to iTunes Support nor Apple.

  • How do I remove a Movie from the download queue?

    I accidently selected the *wrong movie* and didn't catch it until it started to download. I contacted iTunes, reported the problem and they gave me a refund but, and +this is why I'm asking for help+, every time I got to iTunes, the movie starts downloading again.
    How do I actually remove this movie from *my downloads* queue?
    -PS: How do I determine which Mac OS I have?-

    The only way I know to get rid of the movie is to let it download and then delete it.
    To tell what version you have, click the Apple (upper right corner), then click "About this Mac".

  • 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

    You unsync them using your computer, the opposite of how you got them on your phone.

    I would say to start by looking on their web site... unfortunately, that appears to be dead.
    Based on the horrible ratings on the App Store (1 star for the current version), I'm not surprised it doesn't work well.
