After upgrading to iOS6, I can't update or install new apps on my iPad. "Waiting" message!

Infuriatingly after updating to iOS on my iPad 2 I can no longer install any apps or update any either.
The upgrade went fine on my iPhone, but on my iPad any new or updated app just gives a "waiting" message.
Waiting for what? &*&^%$# Godot?
I have logged in and out countless timess, on the iPad and iTunes on my Macbook to no avail.
Any suggestions?

Hello, DGVLIMITED. 
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
I would need clarification on what exact issue you are experiencing and any errors when attempting to update applications to provide a better answer.  However, try updating applications individually.  This could be a capacity limitation when updating all at once.  Also, try restarting the device.  If these steps do not resolve the issue, try the remaining steps in the article below.
Troubleshoot issues on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
If you haven't been able to connect to the iTunes Store:
Make sure your date, time, and time zone are correct in Settings > General > Date & Time.
Note: Time Zone may list another city in your time zone.
Make sure that your iOS software is up to date by tapping Settings > General > Software Update(iOS 5 or later) or connecting your iOS device to iTunes and clickingCheck for Update on your device's Summary page.
Check and verify that you're in range of a Wi-Fi router or base station. If you're on a device with cellular service, make sure that cellular data is turned on from Settings > General > Cellular.
Note: If connected to cellular data, larger items may not download. You may need to connect to Wi-Fi to download apps, videos, and podcasts.
Make sure that you have an active Internet connection. You can check the user guide for your device for help with connecting to the Internet.
Make sure that other devices (portable computers, for example) are able to connect to the Wi-Fi network and access the Internet.
Try resetting (turning off and then on again) your Wi-Fi router.
If the issue persists, try troubleshooting your Wi-Fi networks and connections.

  • After upgrading iphone 5 to iOS 7, I cannot install new apps

    After upgrading iphone 5 to iOS 7, I cannot install new apps.  I get the message that I must first read and agree to iTunes terms and conditions.  I read the terms and conditions online, but I don't see a way to agree when I install or re-install iTunes 11.1.  I can update existing apps ok, though. 
    Anyone have this problem and find solution?

    Delete & ReInstall the App Store...

  • TS1702 None of these steps work, also tried hard reboot. . Cannot update or install new apps. Just says waiting. Internet data working fine. My iPhone works fine. This is all on my iPad

    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, reboot the iPad and then sign in again.
    Settings>Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. 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.
    Go back to Settings>Store>Sign in and then try to update again. Tap one waiting icon only if necessary to start the download stream.
    Sometimes resetting all settings can help as well. Settings>General>Reset>Reset all settings. If you do that - you will have to enter all of you app and device preferences again.

  • I lost most of my contacts after upgrading to ios6. Can I revert back to ios5 safely?

    I have lost most of my contact info after upgrade to ios6. Can I restore only the contacts from a backup, or even revert to ios5.1.1 when needed?

    Backup is your best option if you have one. Reverting software will not bring the contacts back.

    Take it to your local Apple Store or AASP, it's covered by a 1 year hardware warranty. If you have AppleCare then give them a call but I'm pretty sure they will advise the same. If you have not purchased AppleCare yet please do, this will extend the warranty to 3 years however it MUST be purchased within the first  year of ownership. Let it go 366 days and you are out of luck. AppleCare will also include telephone support too.
    Good luck.

    Recently upgraded to iOS6. When I try to install an app, somebody else's Apple ID appears...help!

    Did you somebody else download apps or other content on your iPad in the past? Do you share the iPad?
    You can sign into your own ID in Settings>iTunes & App Stores>Apple ID but that does not resolve what is going on here.

  • IOS 6 on a 4s, I can't update or install any apps.

    Since installing IOS 6 on a 4s, I can't update or install any apps. Touching the buttons to install causes nothing to happen. I now have 8 pending app updates that I can't do anything with. What's the solution?

    Hi, I'm having a similar issue updating apps. My phone is currently stating there are 4 updates available, but when I open the App Store and go to the updates tab, nothing appears. Just a blank screen.
    I have tried updating on different wifi networks, restoring the phone from a backup, signing out & in to the App Store again, but it still won't download updates. As it stands the only way I can update is via pc (I haven't tried this yet but sure it will work.....).
    I have seen various posts on the forums with the same or similar problems, but ALL suggestions on these have failed as well.
    Any ideas would've appreciated.

    Important you follow the directions here:

    The update to iOS 5.0 or higher is an erase/restore deal, so its important that all of your data be on your computer before you attempt to update.
    iOS 6.1.3 will be installed on your phone.

    Your apple account is showing you still owe for this download. You wont be able to download anything to you pay your balance. Since it was a "mixup", you should call apple support. Tell them your issue and get your account resolved.

  • Cannot update or install new apps on iPad 2 after IOS 6 update - Help?

    After the IOS 6 install, 15 of my apps were tagged for updates. When I tap on Update All, or on Update for an individual app nothing happens.  When I tap on Install for a new app, it turns back to Free.
    I've tried the suggestions listed below that I've seen in the various discussions, and none have resolved my problem:
    Re-booting.
    Signing out/in of my Apple ID.
    Setting date a year ahead.
    Updating the apps on my PC and syncing.
    Wi-Fi is working as are the installed apps themselves, including getting content refreshed, e.g., NYTimes app. Any further help much appreciated. I suspect it may take hours to get through to Apple Support. 

    Chris,
    If you're still having this problem - as I am, please call Apple Support so they can log it in.  I spent a lot of time with one of their senior people troubleshooting and at this point the only resolution they can come up with is to do a clean wipe of everything and a new re-install, which is a big undertaking if you have a lot of apps and customizations.
    If Apple has enough calls to prove this is not an incidental problem for only a small % users, they can escalate the problem to engineering for possibly an easier fix.

  • Can't update or install from App Store although I can purchase apps

    I can purchase apps in App Store but I can't update them or actually install them through the store, I just get a little spinning whirylgig next to the go back or forward page icons.
    I have run disk utility and I restarted.
    I am on OS X 10.7.5
    Any suggestions??

    Make sure when you update apps you are signed in using the same Apple ID used for the original downloads.
    Beyond that ...
    Disable anti virus softwrare if installed
    Check your firewall settings in System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Firewall > Firewall Options
    Make sure Gatekeeper is enabled
    Open System Preferences > Security & Privacy then select the General tab.
    Make sure either Mac App Store or Mac App Store and identified developers is selected. If that area is grayed out, click the padlock icon to proceed.
