I accidentally asked iTunes to download all my music from match to the iPad. There are 2500+ songs in the queue now and they won't download before my flight tomorrow. The music downloads are blocking more important app upgrades.

I can't cancel each one individually since it would take hours.

How can you cancel all downloads in one go?

(iOS 6)

Can you upgrade the apps in iTunes first and sync the iPad afterwards? – patrix Sep 21 '12 at 22:16
No I don't use iTunes at all with my devices. – James Sep 22 '12 at 6:54

You'll have to email into iTunes and request they be removed from your pending downloads queue, otherwise you'll be there for quite some time trying to cancel items from your queue.

Yep, that is the only way. It's annoying, but the truth. – Josiah Oct 23 '12 at 19:14

How about connecting it to iTunes and checking the "Manually manage music and videos" option? Just a wild guess...

Or restore a backup?
