Update Mac App Stuck On Pause

Posted on  by



Hi there, RhondaR51!
Thanks for reaching out to the Apple Support Communities! It sounds like you have an issue with your Watch update being paused and I’m happy to assist! Based on what you are describing, I would suggest tapping the Resume option in the Watch app on the iPhone. Also, be sure your iPhone is up to date with the latest iOS. If that is not working and you’ve followed the steps in the article you came to the Communities from, please circle back with information about where you are seeing the paused update.
Let me know the results and take care!

I am using OneDrive Sync for mac version 18.214.1021.0013 in MacOS Sierra version 10.12.6. I have had this problem with one drive sync before its most recent update. Everyday, when I try add a file to be synced to a folder, they get stuck uploading at 127kb. Even if i try to restart the app the files are still stuck. But you can also manually download the updates: Open the Mac App Store from your Dock or Finder. Click Updates on the left side menu, then click Update All, or the Update button next to the apps that you want to update. Early access with Office Insider. When you buy an app at the App Store you will simply see 'installing' under the app's icon. If you go to Launchpad you will see the app with a thermometer chart showing the progress of download. If you click on it you can pause it, and the word 'Paused' will appear. But clicking it again does not seem to resume the download.

You are downloading a software update or an app on your Mac. Suddenly, you change your mind and no longer want to download it. How would you cancel downloads of Mac App Store apps or updates?

Though it’s quite simple to cancel Mac App Store downloads, the little process might not be known to many folks. Why? It’s because the “Cancel” button unlike “Pause” is slightly under the wraps. Let me show you how it’s done!

How to Cancel Mac App Store Downloads or Updates

Step #1. Assuming you are downloading the software update or any app on your Mac. Launch App Store on your computer.

Likewise, if you are downloading any app, click on Purchase tab. Press and hold the Option key and then click on Cancel.

Step #4. A popup will appear on the screen asking you to confirm. Click on Cancel Download.

Note: When it shows installing, you won’t be able to cancel the app download. So make sure to avert the process when it’s in the initial stage.

That’s it!

Wrap Up

Told you it’s a lot easy but slightly tricky? Now, use these same process to avert Mac App Store downloads.

There is another way you can cancel downloads on your Mac. Simply disconnect your computer from internet → a popup menu will appear on the screen saying “(x) failed to download.” → click on OK.
