On my less-than-ideal internet, updates such as XCode take many hours to download, and basic browsing (e.g. stack exchange) slows to a crawl while they're loading. I'd like to be able to pause the download and resume it later.  I know I can cancel downloads by pressing the download ring in the App Store app, but I can't find any way to pause downloads in a way which can be resumed later without re-downloading the whole thing. The internet leads me to believe that this used to be possible by right-clicking the app's icon in the dock and selecting 'pause', but this doesn't appear in Mojave (neither on the app being downloaded nor on the app store itself).  What do I need to do to pause an update?
I am downloading macOS Sierra from Mac App Store. But I have electricity problem here. Due to which my iMac will lose power after 2 hours. Now I want to pause the downloading so that I can resume the download later on. How can I do that?  Here is a screenshot.
How to combine low sample renders? Linux determines the type of a file via a code in the file-header. It doesn't depend on file-extensions for to know which software is to use for opening the file.  That's what I remember from my education. Please correct me in case I'm wrong!  Working a bit with Ubuntu systems recently: I see a lot of files on the systems which have extensions like .sh, .txt, .o, .c  Now I'm wondering: Are these extensions are meant only for humans? So that one should get an idea what kind of file it is?  Or does they have some purpose for the operating-system too? How do I remove extra Skype icon or ghost icons for removed apps from GNOME shell? proving how many permutations exist. Show that the number of permutations of n numbers, for n ≥ 2, with two cycles is at most (n−1)!logn. Unsure as to were to start any help would be appreciated. Explaining different Standard Deviation results from same data in ArcGIS Desktop and MS Excel? I have done some interpolation in Geostatistical Analyst in ArcGIS and I got the Standard Deviation (SD) a bit different from the SD that I calculated in Excel Spreadsheet.   What algorithm does each package use? Why are the results different? Changing back button in iOS 7 disables swipe to navigate back Consider I've set variable site and needs to be printed by echo or printf, but If I use single quote to write something and want to use variable then how?  Example:  $ site=unix.stackexchange.com $ echo "visit:$site" visit:unix.stackexchange.com   But If I use single quote:  $ echo 'visit:$site' visit:$site   Then we know that '' is strong quote and will not expand the variable   I've tried something:  $ echo 'visit:"$site"' visit:"$site"   but do not succeed. So, I am looking for way to print value inside variable while using single quote. "one of the cables that runs" or "one of the cables that run"? Recently at work I was writing the following, and I have not been able to get a firm answer on which version is the most grammatically correct. The sentence is:     We would like to use one of the cables that _________ between rooms.   Is the correct conjugation run or runs?  I think 'run' is correct, because I think that the verb in the prepositional phrase is referring to 'cables' not 'one.' However, a number of colleagues have said that 'runs' is correct because one is singular. Windows 10 doesn't shut down properly How can I recover contact information from a stolen phone? Proving that if $ad-bc = \pm 1$, then $\gcd(x,y) = \gcd(ax +by, cx + dy)$ I'm having issues figuring out how to approach this problem:     Conclude that if $ad-bc = \pm 1$, then   $$\gcd(x,y) = \gcd(ax +by, cx + dy)$$   The fact that $\gcd(x,y) = \gcd(x+ky, y)$ is a very special case of this exercise   I believe there is a property that if $a = bq_1 + 0$ where 0 is r, then b divides a, and $b=\gcd(a,b)$  Is that at all relevant in this case? better Curve/Text to Mesh generation? The triangulation process of Text to Mesh or Curve to Mesh generates some nasty topology.   I get why, but maybe it could be done a bit nicer? Since text is flat, have ngons instead of hundreds of triangles you'll need to modify anyway?  Another issue is when you then want to use the text as a Volume for particles, which for some reason behave weird when you have unusual topology even though they should be using the volume, not vertex or face positions. Character reading from file in Python How to get a file's Media Type (MIME type)? How do you get a Media Type (MIME type) from a file using Java?  So far I've tried JMimeMagic &amp; Mime-Util. The first gave me memory exceptions, the second doesn't close its streams properly. How would you probe the file to determine its actual type (not merely based on the extension)? Is it possible to save `bc` command line history? bash has a handy file .bash_history in which it saves the history of commands and on the next execution of bash the history is populated with saved commands. Is it possible to save bc command history to a file in the same way and then load it on startup so that bc history is preserved? I tried reading  and it mentions readline and libedit. From ldd /usr/bin/bc I see mine uses readline and readline has  and read_history functions. Is this functionality implemented in bc or to do it I'll need to patch bc? What are the different ways I can use to upgrade Ubuntu from one release to another? How does accepting an answer work? What does it mean to accept an answer?

"Where Have All the Cowboys Gone?.ogg" // as an example   So I try to rename it and Windows complains whether I try it in Explorer or from command prompt.  Error I get when trying to copy, rename, or move is:     The Filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect   Is there a Windows way to force a rename in this case?   Update  I'll keep an eye on this question, but after 13 answers and many attempts (aside form 3rd party solutions) it seems that Windows can't do this (or at least my windows can't, no short names). So I'm accepting the answer which was my original solution anyway of using Linux. It would be nice to see Windows handle this somehow, so don't stop just because I've accepted this answer, the question still stands! How to repair Ubuntu installation after interrupted dist-upgrade without losing any custom settings? During my attempt to upgrade my Xubuntu 14.04 installation with  sudo apt-get dist-upgrade   I made the mistake of interrupting the process by closing my laptop, which caused it to suspend to disk. After re-opening, the monitor remained black, so I was forced to reboot the system. I have since discovered many failures of drivers (wlan0 missing, USB memory stick cannot be mounted, USB mouse not recognised, and maybe more undiscovered problems with hardware).   My beginner's attempts to manually repair the single problems could have made it even worse. During the installation of the current distribution I chose to encrypt my whole hard disk. How to automatically fetch missing dependencies when installing software from .deb? I'm trying to install  on my Ubuntu box (11.04).
