Yosemite failed to download and won't delete from launchpad?

Hey,
I have tried downloading Yosemite several times on my macbook pro, and each result has failed. The download starts off, but the the message "download has failed, check the purchased page" comes up. Also, i can't delete the "paused/failed" version of Yosemite from my launchpad. i have to shut down my laptop for one to delete. So for example, i could try downloading Yosemite 3 times in one day, each try failing, and each fail appearing on my launch pad. To delete them, i would have to shut down my laptop three times for all three copies to disappear.
does anyone know what could be the cause of this problem, or the solution?

Have you deleted the installer in the Applications folder?

i got this message when i downloaded 869.7MB and i can't download more than that
what should i do??

This seems to be working for me. VPN using https://www.getcloak.com/ - 30 day free trial. Crossing my fingers since the download isn't done yet.
I had a hunch that my ISP was the culprit. I cannot download anything from the appstore that had more than 1 gig filesize. Xcode, mavericks, yosemite. They would all stop and give the "failed to download....use purchase page..." error the moment the appstore starts downloading.
None of the changing DNS, emptying of cache, on/off appstore, or restarting worked.

Yosemite failed to download on a I Mac ( 2010)

Having an issue downloading yosemite to my I mac ( 2010). Getting error "OX yosemite failed to download" I checked internet connection and everything was fine. Checked Disk utilities and permissions everything fine, Even ran a clean up from mac keeper to increase the storage space I had. Even more interesting is I downloaded it to my mac book pro (2012) loaded up with no problems same internet connection Any thoughts?

There should be no problem installing it on a second machine.
You can download it from http://prodesigntools.com/adobe-lightroom-4-is-out.html
You need to login to the Adobe website with your Adobe ID before you can download the installer.

My film I rented from iTunes has frozen half way through downloading and won't finish downloading, any ideas?

TRy to close itunes by double tapping the home button then slide up all of the open apps and try again.
another option is to turn off your ipad, logout from your itunes account and try again downloading the movie. If it still gives you error, call apple support and ask for itunes agent to see if there is something wrong with the movie you are trying to download

I have accepted iCal invitations with repeating events and they have since been deleted from the iCal on my Mac but won't delete from my iPhone. Help

I have accepted iCal invitations with repeating events and they have since been deleted from the iCal on my Mac but won't delete from my iPhone. Help

I experienced this issue as well.
Background:
I had opened an ICS attachment for a repeating event on my iPhone, which added the item to my phone's calendar. I did not have the option to delete the calendar entry from my phone, and the item did not appear on the calendar on my Mac. My phone is currently running iOS 7 (but the problem began quite awhile ago; I don't recall which version of iOS was installed when it started).
Solution (summary):
Create a new calendar, move the items that you wish to delete to the new calendar, then delete the new calendar
Solution (detailed steps):
Create a new calendar
On your phone, open the calendar app
Tap the "Calendars" option at the bottom of the screen
Tap the "Edit" button in the top left corner
Scroll to the bottom of the list and tap the "Add Calendar..." option
Give your new calendar a good name, such as "Delete me"
Tap "Done" in the top right corner to save the new calendar
Tap "Done" in the top left corner to finish editing the list of calendars
Tap "Done" to exit the list of calendars
Assign all calendar entries that you wish to delete to the calendar you created in step 1
Tap a calendar entry that you wish to delete
Tap the "Edit" button in the top right corner
Scroll down until you see the Calendar field (on an iPhone or iPod it's usually just below the bottom of the screen), then tap the Calendar field to bring up the list of available calendars
Tap the name of the calendar that you created in step 1 (e.g. "Delete me"); the screen should return to the main calendar entry page
Tap "Done" in the top right corner of the screen. You may need to then tap the "< Day" button on the top left of the screen to return to the main calendar view
Repeat the instructions in step 2 for each of the calendar entries that you wish to delete
Delete the calendar that you created in step 2 (this will delete all calendar entries assigned to this calendar)
From the main screen in the calendar app, tap the "Calendars" option at the bottom of the screen
Tap the "Edit" button in the top left corner
Tap the entry for the calendar that you created in step 2 (e.g. "Delete me")
Scroll to the bottom of the scren and tap the "Delete Calendar" option. You should be prompted with a warning that explains that "All events associated with this calendar will also be deleted."
If you're sure that the only items on this calendar are items that you wish to delete, tap the "Delete Calendar" button
Tap "Done" in the top right corner to exit the Edit Calendars screen
Tap "Done" to exit the list of calendars. You should now be back at the main view of the calendars app
Rejoice, your pesky repeating calendar events have been deleted
At this point all of the items that you assigned to the deleted calendar should be gone
Repeat the steps above for any entries that you missed

HT1657 rented video won't delete from my ipad even after I watched it.

My kids rented and watched a video on 12/24 and it still appears on my itunes under rentals. I can highlight it but it won't delete from my itunes or my ipad. When I go to play it it says it cannot be opened i'm thinking because it has been watched and is expired. Any ideas on how to remove it from my ipad and my itunes?

HT4623 How do I delete from the apps store an updated app that was downloaded? Prior to iso7.2.0 once the app was downloaded it was automatically deleted from the updated section in the App Store.

How do I delete from the apps store an updated app that was downloaded and shows open? Prior to iso7.2.0 once the app was downloaded it was automatically deleted from the App Store.

You don't.
The update section will continue to show recently updated apps due to the ability to auto download updates.
It effects nothing, just ignore them.
