TS1424 How do you delete a download once it's started?

Hello,
I'm new to the forum... I have downloaded a movie to rent & watched it, I'm trying to delete but can't? Help!
Thanks
Richard

Hello Chege1982,
Thank you for asking your question. It sounds like you would like to have deleted the video that was rented after it was watched. According to this article:
iTunes Store: Movie rental frequently asked questions (FAQ)

Can I delete a rented movie before the expiration date?
You can delete the movie prior to the expiration date if you want to make more space on your hard drive, iPod, iPhone, iPad, or Apple TV. However, the movie will automatically disappear from your iTunes library 24 (or 48) hours after you've begun viewing it.
This article outlines how to delete media from your iTunes library on both computers, and iOS devices if you need it for future reference.

    Once an item enters the download queue, the user cannot remove it. Either let it complete the download (easiest) or contact the iTunes Store customer support department through the Contact page  (select the category and subcategory closest to the issue you're reporting and you'll find either an "Express Lane" button - just follow the instructions to get to the contact form - or an "Email Us" button)  and ask them if they'll remove the item(s) from your queue for you.

  • How do you delete a download in progress?

    I recently "bought" the premier episode of Mr. Sunshine.  It has taken forever to download and I keep stopping it.  I no longer want this - how do I delete it forever?  I can't seem to make it go away completely.
    thanks!

  • New iMac user.... how do you delete a downloaded program

    I downloaded Firefox for my computer because i couldn't get my financial software from Ameritrade to work on safari. However, their tech support helped me get it working with Safari and so I want to delete FireFox.
    I don't know how. I'm not sure if it came with its own uninstaller... and if it did I don't know how to find it... (no start button to find the program).
    Also I have a downloads folder... it has some spreadsheets for excel in it I no longer need, how do I delete them? (I tried dragging them to the trash but that didn't work)
    Thanks!!

    Historically I've used spotlight to find any related files(preferences, etc). They can be deleted from there.
    If you try it make sure to look at the search criteria and include system files.
    The new spotlight is quite a bit different and I'm not sure it's not very straight forward.
    There are a couple of third party apps that are supposed to monitor and "uninstall".
    Never used on though.

    If you watch other content/reboot etc it will be flushed from the system. However, once it has been rented and starts to load you will be charged.

  • How do you delete audiobooks downloaded from Overdrive from the library from my Ipod Nano when I can't find any of the titles under Music in iTunes?

    I've been uploading audiobooks from Overdrive and now that I'm done listening to them I want to delete them. After I hook my Ipod 7th gen up to the comp, it pulls up iTunes and I go to Music but I can't find any of the book titles there. They all show up in my songs group on my iPod. I've been manually managing the songs so I don't get all my husbands stuff on there. I've cruised through the other sections and tried searching the library without any luck. Any advice???

    how do you delete a viris removing software download

    I don't believe you need more than 500Mb of free space if you perform the update through itunes. As all operations are done on the computer, and then the files are simply replaced with the newer versions.
    As to your other questions:

    You don't. As long as you don't install it it will be there. Once installation is complete, the system will delete it from the device.

    Once you press the "Download and Install" button, what happens next? Does it do the former first, the latter first, or both?
    Obviously it can't install if it hasn't Downloaded first. So if you still have the "Download and Install" option as opposed to the "Install Now" option it will first download and then install.

    If you try to download iOS 7 by syncing tyour device to iTunes, what happens if you press "Download only?" Will the software download AND install, or just download only?
    If you are using Itunes and choose to only Download, then it will simply download the update package and store it on your computer. When you are ready to install it you can then press the install button.

    I was downloading a movie on my iPad and I stopped downloading it and I want to delete it and it won't. How do you delete it in the iTunes for iPad.

    If you tap and hold down the icon - and the X does not appear on the icon - you will not be able to delete it without totally downloading it. Finish the download and then delete it.

    The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico, Spanish is my native tongue. I do not speak English very well, however, I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own.

    You have to do it in the Video app, not in the iTunes app.

    How do you delete pictures on your iphone that were downloaded from your computer or memory card?

    There is NO other way to get photos off your phone, that were synced to your phone, other than through the iTunes sync process. Just make sure there are no checks, in any boxes, for any photos, that you do not want on your phone.

  • Once you add background music, but then want to change it, how do you delete background music?

    Oncxe you add background music to i-movie, then want to change it, how do you delete audio clip?

    If you are referring to music you added to the timeline in iMovie simply click the green audio clip to select it. Once it has a yellow border around it you can use the delete key on keyboard or the edit->cut menu command. Now drag in your new audio file as you did on the original.
    If you are referring to background music that was in the original video file then place your cursor over the middle of the green audio waveform below the video and a double arrow will appear. Hold down your left mouse button and drag down to mute the audio. You can now drag in your new audio from iTunes and drop it below the video, dragging it to where you want it in the timeline.

  • HT4059 How do you delete an iBook that never completely downloaded? I want it gone

    How do you delete an iBook that never completely downloaded? I want it gone

    I'm having the same problem. The book downloaded in iBooks on the computer, but not on the iPad. It seems to be stuck. When I try "Edit" in purchased books, I can't select the book that hasn't completely downloaded. I've tried synching manually, deselecting it, reselecting it, but nothing works. I've done a hard restart on the iPad a couple of times but I still can't get rid of it.
