Why do some apps never finish installing on my iPad?

Why do some apps never finish installing on my iPad?

Something could be clogging the download pipe.
If the downloads are stalled or "waiting" - try these suggestions.
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 device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered.
If all else fails, download the updates or the apps in iTunes on your computer and then sync the content to your iPad.

  • What happens to the apps' data, if they were restored to a new device, but apps never get installed?

    This is a super easy scanario. 
    Say in my old phone I have totally 50 apps, 30 purchased under Appel ID (A), and another 20 purchased under a different Apple ID, (B).
    The old device is iOS5 and I turned on iCloud backup and back up everything (data of all apps).
    I get a new device, restore from iCloud, wait until everything (photo, messages, settings, most importantly, data of all 50 apps) are restoed to the new phone.
    The first thing happen after the first reboot, and it will prompt me to log on my Apple ID, to install apps.
    What if, at this moment I decied to only sign on with Apple ID (A), and just don't want to use all 20 apps that I purchased under Apple ID (B) anymore?
    Is the data of those 20 apps become leftover /  orphane on my new phone, and just no way to clean them up?  Please notice again, that I did not say "install app and then delete", I know that will clean up the data as well. I mean when data is copied over but app never get installed.

    Game settings and other data is part of the backup:

    i can't seem to install some apps that i downloaded for my iPad from my Mac. i have tried syncing them but they still don't appear on the pad. how do i go about this?

    These are iPad apps correct?
    Do you have restrictions set on the iPad? Settings>General>Restrictions>Installing apps>Off or Settings>General>Restrictions>Allowed Content?
    Are you sure that the Apps are selected to sync from the Mac to the iPad?
    Connect the iPad to the Mac and launch iTunes.
    Click on the iPad name on the left side under devices.
    Click on the Apps Tab on the right.
    Click on Install next to the apps that you want to sync.
    Click on the Sync Apps Heading to select it
    Click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes
    If you do not see the sidebar in iTunes 11 - go to View>Show Sidebar from the iTunes menu.

  • Why are some apps that I bought not on my purchased items on my itunes account?

    Why are some apps that I bought not on my purchased items on my itunes account?  I bought 4 apps, then had to reset my iPad, later when trying to download them back onto the iPad, they were not listed under by Purchased apps in my account in iTunes.  Thanks for any help!

    Plug in your iPhone to iTunes on your Computer, let it sync the games onto the Computer, then plug in your iPad and go to Apps in iTunes and select the apps then apply and it will download them to the iPad :)
    If you have trouble when in Apps in iTunes on your Computer, it will say iPhone and iPod touch Apps. Hope this helps!!

  • [SOLVED]Can pacman provide some sound after finishing installing

    I usually let pacman download and install something in a screen and working on another screens. But I can't know immediately when the instalI finished if I don't return to the screen where pacman is installing something.
    Can pacman provide some sound after finishing installing? Or are there any other methods are suitable for this? And I guess tools like wget or axel may need this.

    You probably can make a script that wraps pacman, and plays a sound (ffplay, ffmpeg, mplayer, aplay, whatever) and plays a sound when pacman returns. Better than nothing I guess.
    Something like this:
    pacmansound
    #!/bin/bash
    pacman $@
    ffplay ~/Music/pacman_done.ogg
    I'm not sure if this works, but you get the idea.

  • Why do some app passwords not restore after Restore?

    I just restored from a backup onto a new iPhone 5. Some apps, like Dropbox, logged me in automatically (backup had the password). Some, like Kindle, Netflix, and Skype did not. Is this normal - why does my backup not save the login info for those apps?

    Whether or not that information is contained in the backup is up to the app developer.

  • Download of app never finishes to Downloaded

    Here I created a screen recording of the problem I am experiencing, and I asked my friends too, they see the same issue,
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vRiPVl32Cm4&feature=youtu.be
    When I try to download a Free app, it shows that it's being downloaded, but the download never finishes, the Free button remains Free, you can click on it to download again, and it never turns into "Downloaded"
    Anyone else having the same problem?

    Hello there, itunesreport.
    First thing you would want to do is see if the download was interrupted. The following Knowledge Base article offers the directions to follow for that:

  • App updates say waiting and never finish Loading to my iPad

    Hi. Trying to update my apps through the app store on my iPad. I clicked update all, the app icons show "waiting" and never finish. I tried synching to iTunes by hooking up to my computer, but made no difference.

  • I can not uninstall CS2 because it never finished installing

    I have been attempting to install Adobe Acrobat CS2 on my Windows Vista computer. I was told that my original Acrobat 7.0 program had problems and would not work so I was told to download the CS2 program. Everytime I try to install it I get an error message stating that it can not access the folder C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 7.0\ActiveX. This folder is a "read only". It has 4 files in it AcroIEHelper.dll, AcroPDF.dll, GbDetect.dll and pdfshell.dll. I can not delete any of these files.
    I was sent an e-mail that took me to a "discussion" telling me to uninstall Acrobat 7.0 using Control Panel - Add Remove Programs. However, since the program never fully installed it is not listed on Add Remove Programs. Does anyone have any idea how I can get this program to work?
    Microsoft has told me to use the cmd prompt and the command rd  "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 7.0" /s /q  to delete the folder, but it does not work. All I get is "Access is Denied"  I've tried using the Explorer but am told that that procedure needs permission. I'm logged in as the Administrator.

    See the response to the other thread you started.
    Acrobat 7 is not compatible with any 64-bit version of Windows.
    And there is no such beast as Adobe Acrobat CS2. The version of Acrobat that came with CS2, if I recall correctly was Acrobat 7 Pro.
    And for that matter, current Macintoshes won't be able to run any CS2 software either. You are talking about software that is at this point 10 years and anywhere between 4 and 6 versions out of date.
              - Dov
    PS:     I suspect that you never did have Acrobat 7 or Creative Suite 2 installed on this VIsta x64 system. What was it previously installed on? The only systems that supported Acrobat 7 under Windows were Windows XP 32-bit and Windows 2000. And what media are you using to install the software from? The original media and software for these versions do no longer install and activate.

  • Why are my app updates not transfering to my ipad when i sync with my desktop?

  • Transferring some apps, but not all  to new iPad

    Hello, I am just about to take possession of a new iPad air. I want to transfer some apps to this iPad but not all of them, is this possible, and how do I do this please. I want my grandchildren to be able use the old iPad to play their games I have already downloaded and/or paid for but do not want them on my new iPad? Thank you.

    Hi ballingeruk,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If you purchase a new iPad Air, you can choose which apps you want to put on the new device by downloading them from the App Store to the iPad Air.
    Use these instructions to download apps you've previously purchased on your iPad Air:
    iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    Apps
    Tap App Store.
    Make sure you're signed in with the same Apple ID used for the original purchase.
    Tap Updates.
    Tap Purchased on the resulting screen.
    Locate the app in your Purchased tab.
    Tap the download icon.
    The app will begin downloading and you'll be taken back to your home screen.

  • Why do some if my texts show on my ipad and others only on my phone??

    Why do some of my text messages come up only on my iPhone while others are shown on iPhone and iPad?

    As I understand it, if your iPad is wi-fi only, you will only see text messages sent from other Apple devices. Others sent through cellular service will only be seen on a cellular device, i.e. the iPhone.
