App download screen frozen

How do you get rid off the white app download screen after you have downloaded an app.  It seems to have frozen and I cannot do anymore searches on the App Store

If you still have problems after resetting your iPad (I do) or the problem returns, then try this:
Settings > iTunes & App Store > Tap on your Apple ID > Sign Out
Restart your iPad
Open the App Store
When you next initiate a download from the appstore you will be prompted for your apple id.
You may find that you need to repeat this often, particularly if your iPad is afflicted by the same iOS 7 bug as my iPad 3.
Having seen this on one of two identical iPad rev 3s running iOS 7 (the only difference being the apple id), I suspect this bug relates to the number of apps associated with each particular apple id. If you don't have many apps then you don't get App Store locks ups. The more apps you have, the worse the problem gets. If you sign out of a problematic apple id then the appstore will work properly, at least until you sign in and the appstore loses focus (i.e. if you switch to another app or you iPad goes into standby). At a guess, I'd say that iOS 7 caches the active apple id's purchase history (including free apps), presumably to make the purchased tab work better than if it were entirely server side. I also suspect that if the cache is incomplete or too large the appstore app stalls, leaving you with a white, unpopulated appstore screen or "Unable to connect".
I hope this helps.

  • Download screen frozen when updating to iOS 8.1.1. ??

    My download screen is frozen after attempted download of iOS 8.1.1. update; how to escape?

    Hi ..
    Reset the device:
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    If that doesn't help, use Recovery Mode >  iOS: Unable to update or restore

  • How Do I Clear the app download screen

    How do I clear the app update screen after I have updated the apps.

    TThe apps do not delete.  Apple has not programmed this I to the system.  Keep on letting them know that this clutter is not necessary.  Everyone was used to the old system, update and disappear when done.  I do not like the clutter myself.  Keep on asking apple to fix this.

  • My app downloading has frozen and will not download?

    I was trying to download an app and nothing happens.  Have a blank square that just says "waiting". 

    Hello pjfrancis,
    Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with downloading an app.
    I recommend tapping on the app to change the status to Paused and tapping once more to initiate the download of the app as suggested in this featured discussion:

  • How do I fix App Store screen frozen?

    I bought vanity fair magazine but after completing purchase and returning to the App Store it is frozen and will not close window. I have turned off iPad but it did not help. I have an iPad 3 with updated OS. Current. How can I unfreeze the App Store since it's part of the system and can't be deleted and reloaded?

    Try a reset: hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until you see the apple, then let go.

  • My App Store ( app ) is stuck with a recent download screen on display.  No other app features ( App Store ) are available.

    A recent App Download resulted in that App Download Screen getting stuck on my App Store display. Every re-open attempt ( App Store ) still has the stuck app in the display.  I can not access further App Store features, downloads, updates etc. What to do?

    Have you tried closing the App Store app via the iPad's multitasking bar and seeing if it works when you re-open it ? Double-click the home button to open the taskbar, and then swipe or drag the App Store app's screen from there up and off the top of the screen to close it, and click the home button to close the taskbar.
    If that doesn't fix it then you could try a soft-reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • TS1702 Hi, I have just tried downloading Facebook app on, but the app store has frozen and I can't do anything on the screen. Shall I just try turning it all off and back on again? Thanks

    Hi, I have just tried downloading the Facebook app, but the app store has frozen. It will not let me click on anything. Shall I try turning it all off and back on again? Or is there something else I need to do.
    Thanks, Rebecca

    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.

  • Sign in to download from the App Store screen has the wrong Apple ID- grayed out. How can I change it?

    When I have a software update notification and I go to the 'Updates" tab of the App Store and click 'update',  the flash screen 'Sign in to download from the App Store comes up the the Apple ID is wrong and grayed out so I can't change it.  Where is the bogus Apple ID stored? How can I 'ungray' it to make it editable?
    I'm running Mavericks 10.9.4 on an IMAC 2.5 GHz Intel Core i5.

    You installed a hacked app, originally from the Mac App Store. It contains the receipt for a different app, downloaded using an account that you don't control. You need to identify and remove the hacked app.
    Important: The app you need to remove is not necessarily the one named in the App Store alert. For example, the App Store may prompt you to update "Angry Birds" or "Twitter," but the hacked app may be something else entirely. Don't make any assumptions about which app you're looking for. To find it, you must carry out a systematic search with Spotlight.
    1. Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:
    kMDItemAppStoreHasReceipt=1
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    2. In the Finder, press command-F to open a search window, or select
              File ▹ Find
    from the menu bar. In the search window, select
              Search: This Mac
    from the row of tokens below the toolbar. Below that is a popup menu of search criteria, initially showing Kind. From that menu, select
              Other...
    A sheet will drop down. In that sheet, select
              Raw Query
    as the criterion, then click OK or press return.
    Now there will be a text box to the right of the menu of search criteria. That's where you enter the raw search query. Click in that box and paste the text you copied earlier by pressing command-V.
    4. The search window will now show all the App Store products that are installed. Compare those search results with the list of your purchases from the App Store. To see the complete list, you may need to unhide hidden purchases. If any apps were download from the App Store using other Apple ID accounts that you control, sign in to the store under each of those ID's and check the purchases.
    At least one of the apps in the Spotlight search results is not among your purchases in the App Store. Move each such item to the Trash, after quitting it if it's running. You may be prompted for your administrator password. Empty the Trash.
    Quit and relaunch the App Store. Test.
    If you find these instructions confusing, ask for an alternative method.

  • Cannot Get Mail - Mail app has been frozen, no new downloads, since 7/14.

    My mail app has been frozen since 7/14, and usually it just says it was updated on 7/2/14. However, occasionally, it gives me the message: "The mail server 'imap.gmail.com' is not responding. Verify that you have entered the correct account info in Mail settings."
    Needless to say, I have done this. I have quit the app many times, reset the iPad, and finally last night I broke down and downloaded the 8.3 update (I was using 7.something before), and I am STILL getting this message and no new emails!
    I can check on my phone and computer browsers just fine. Is there something I'm missing here? Really appreciate any help anyone can give. I finally got fed up not having this functionality.
    THANK YOU!!!!

    I should mention the only other idea I've had is to delete my gmail account from my mail app, and re-add it later?

  • App world icon is missing from my Home and Download screens

    I upgraded to Blackberry App World version 4.0.0.63 on my Blackberry Bold 9780 yesterday. After re-booting the phone, my App World icon was suddenly missing from my home screen. It was not on my Download screen either. I could also not find it when doing a search for App World. I re-installed App World from the Blackberry website. I still had the same problem. Then a friend suggested that I un-install App World by Settings: Device: Application Management: Blackberry App World - and selecting delete in Options. I did this - and then re-installed App World AGAIN on my phone from the website. And still the problem persists. Do I actually have App World on my phone or not? If I do have it on my phone, how and where do I find the icon - so I can place it on my home screen.
    Solved!

  • Neither my computer nor iTunes sees my phone...phone to frozen on the download screen

    Neither my computer nor iTunes sees my phone...phone froze on the download screen when iTunes attempted to update.  I can't restart or turn off phone.  Any ideas anybody?

    You could use a third party app on your computer, that uses the iPhone as just an external disk.
    There are several like iExplorer, Diskaid, Phonedisk, etc.

  • While downloading an app the screen went off

    while downloading an app the screen went off

    In other, less strident and colorful words, the screensaver kicked in? Depending on the model, the download should continue in the background until finished or it may get interrupted. You can waken the device up and determine which is your case. If it was interrupted, the app can be downloaded again from the App Store's Purchased section without having to pay again.
