When I download an APP the icon says Waiting?

When I download an App from my PC to IPad2 the icon on the ipad screen says Waiting. This has happened on 3  downloads so far. What can I do? I already did a soft reboot. Thanks

If you are downloading multiple apps then they should download one after another. Have you tried tapping on them to see if that restarts them ? Or downloading them on your computer's iTunes and syncing or dragging and dropping them across to the iPad ?
By a soft reboot do your mean a reset : pressing and holding both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear (it doesn't remove any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot).

  • HT2404 I'm trying to update apps and download new ones on mi ipad, but it doesn't work... the icons say "waiting" and nothing happens for days!

    I'm trying to update apps and download new ones on mi ipad, but it doesn't work... the icons say "waiting" and nothing happens for days!Help!

    Here are a bunch of things that you can try to get the downloads to resume.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    Make sure that you do not have a stalled download in iTunes - a song or podcast .... if you have a download in there that did not finish, complete that one first. Only one thing can download at a time on the iPad so that could be what is causing the problem.
    If that doesn't work - sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
    Settings>iTunes & App Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Go back to Settings>iTunes & App Store>Sign in and then try to update again. Tap one waiting icon only if necessary to start the download stream.
    You can also try deleting the waiting icons - tap and hold down on an icon until it wiggles - the tap the X on the icon to delete it. Then try to download again.
    You can try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your app preferences and device settings again.
    If all else fails, download the updates or the apps in iTunes on your computer and then sync the content to your iPad.

  • The icon says 'waiting'

    I have a problem. I downloaded os x mountain lion with redeem code cause I just bought new mac on 16 july . But when I download it, the icon says “waiting” and until now the download does not continue. And when I open app store I have to pay for os x mountain lion, whereas before I used the redeem code. What should I do?

    Welcome to Apple Communities
    Open App Store > Purchases and see if it's Mountain Lion. If not, http://www.apple.com/support/mac/app-store/contact

  • What do I do when trying to download Lion from the app store and the icon says "waiting" and then disappears.

    I am trying to update a new iMac from Snow Leopard to Lion. When I click on install in the app store, the LIon icon jumps down into the dock and nothing happens. The message above the icon is "waiting." Eventually, the icon disappears. How can I install Lion?

  • I have iPad 2 with version 8.1.1.  When trying to delete apps, the icons 'jiggle' but won't delete, then neither the home button or the power button  will work. i have to leave it for 10-15 minutes until it returns to 'normal'

    I have iPad 2 with 8.1.1.  When trying to delete apps, the crosses appear, the icons 'jiggle' but won't delete, then neither the home button or the power button will work, and I have to leave it for 10-15 minutes until it returns to 'normal'.  This has happened the last four times i tried to delete an app.

    Hi OldPete71$$$... You are not alone. I am taking my iPad3 to the Apple store later today - I had to wait to get an appointment - for this very problem. This error did not occur until I updated to 8.1.1. I have not tried letting the device sit, I have been doing a hard reboot to recover functionality. If it's any consolation, I *can* delete apps through the iTunes interface, it's just very sloooooow. I can't delete internet shortcuts that I've stored on the home screen this way, though.

  • Whenever I try to download an app, the IPAD stays WAITING

  • Apps I am trying to download are frozen and icon says waiting. ?

    How do I clear apps that say waiting?

    This happens sometimes, not sure why, but it is annoying!  I have found that it will eventually fix itself and either download the apps, or just erase them.  But if it's really bugging you, try a hard reset.  Hold down the "sleep/wake" button and the "home" button at the same time for about 15 seconds.  You will see the red slider screen to turn off the ipad, just ignore it.  The iPad will shut itself off, then restart.  When you see the Apple logo appear, you can let go of the buttons.  See if this fixes the problem.  If not, you can restore your iPad in itunes, just back it up first.

  • Downloading an app that keeps saying waiting?

    I have an ipad mini and have tried updating minecraft. In the itunes store on my ipad it says installing but under the app it says waiting.  I have tried everything I know and cannot get this to update.  I am unable to play it as well. I tried deleting the app and cannot do that either.  Can anyone help me? Its been like this for about a month now. 

    I have posted this many times and some of the suggestions have worked for others in the past. Skip anything that you've already tried. Maybe there is something in here that will help.
    1. Tap the "waiting" icon and see if you can pause it. If it does pause, then tap it again and see if it will resume. If that works, repeat the same steps for each "waiting" icon.
    2. Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    3. Make sure that you do not have a stalled download in iTunes - a song or podcast .... if you have a download in there that did not finish, complete that one first. Only one thing can download at a time on the iPad so that could be what is causing the problem.
    4. If that doesn't work - sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
    Settings>iTunes & App Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Go back to Settings>iTunes & App Store>Sign in and then try to update again. Tap one waiting icon only if necessary to start the download stream.
    5. You can also try deleting the waiting icons - tap and hold down on an icon until it wiggles - the tap the X on the icon to delete it. Then try to download again. Apps may also be able to be deleted in Settings>General>Usage>Storage if you cannot get the X to pop up on the icon.
    6. You can try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered.
    7. If all else fails, download the updates or the apps in iTunes on your computer and then sync the content to your iPad.

  • TS1717 I ordered wheel of fortune  and it said it was installing it however   It was not install completely on the iPad .  The icon says waiting .  It will not finished loading

    I ordered wheel of fortune app and it started to install. It did not install and is staying on waiting mode.  If I click on it ... Pause. Is the result. I have three other attempts to install other aps.  All have the same lack of response.  I don't know whether the payment went through or not but all of them remain  frozen and I'm installed.  I tried calling support to no avail.   What o do ?

    Rebooting will not make you lose any content. Rebooting is when you hold the home button and the sleep button down at the same time until the Apple logo appears on the screen.
    You can these suggestions. One might work for you.

    I got some applications like games etc installed on my iphone through a friend's pc.
    Were these apps downloaded via your own iTunes AppStore account or your friends?

    That's correct. iTunes will delete any apps you have not downloaded through your own iTunes account. If you did use your own iTunes account, choose iTunes > File > Transfer purchases... to move the apps into your own iTunes Library.

    Re-download the apps through your own iTunes account (pay for them if necessary). Apps cannot be shared between different iTunes user accounts.
