The computer is on a slow DSL internet and I need to cancel a 1GB dwonload that is shown to be estimated to take over an hour and a half to download so I want to perform the download at a later time. There appears to be absolutely no way short of Force Quit to stop a download.
Or is there?
PM 2x2.3, MP 2x2.66 Duo, MP 2x2.8 Quad and MBP 2.26 Duo Unibody, Mac OS X (10.6.8)
To delete the download, open Launchpad and press the app that it's downloading to pause the download instead of deleting the app

Yes, what was I thinking????
How UNINTUITIVE I am for NOT making the OBVIOUS connection to open LaunchPad in order to pause/cancel/stop any downloads that I initiate through the App Store "Updates" section!
DUH!
The answer was in front of my face all this time and I couldn't connect the dots.
And here I was thinking of all kinds of happy thoughts with my Macs and OS X and it's much vaunted "ease of use."
I should "Just Think Different."

Whew, I really had to get that off my chest, especially as an Apple user since the Apple ][+, this obtusive way of pausing software updates under Mountain Lion is very disconcerting.
Many thanks Mendel! Appreciate the assist here...
Happy New Year!
hmm. I have an iPhoto download that is "waiting' and has been since March 2012. It is not in my Applications folder and not in Launchpad but it does appear in the Purchased section of the App store. However, i can't find a way to delete it or cancel it.
I believe this is stopping my download of El Capitan.
Any suggestions?
thanks
Ok - solved it. Went to Store . . . .Check for Unfinished Downloads. Both iPhoto and El Capitan restarted the download
I want to cancel my app
How do i cancel Mac App store download?
