App downloads frozen on "waiting..." even after reboot.

A few days ago I had a download from app store freeze on waiting status. I tried restarting ipad2 and "hard reboot" as stated from some ppl in forums using both home and sleep buttos but still no luck. I tried also downloading other apps which also froze on waiting and even deleting the initial "problematic" app. Still apps are on waiting status a few days now and no reboot helps. Any other suggestions? I use ios 5

Thank you for your replies.
@marianfromspringwood, yes I am on a wi-fi, I don't own the 3G version
@desmond 31, clicking on the app doesn't bring anything up. I can only delete it but that doesn't solve the problem.
I also found out that I have podcasts stuck also on downloading state and won't go further. Those I can not delete.
@abilash432 I think that's what I'm going to do. Sounds Like a way to go for PCs and a device as simple as an iPad should not have problems like that.
@diavonex, I did connect it with iTunes on my putter but I don't see how I can complete the downloads there. Any more info on that?

An app is stuck in "waiting" even after it's been downloaded. How do I get it to stop? iOS7

So I got my new iPhone 5s today, and everything was working fine until after an hour of playing the game injustice. For some reason, the app went from already downloaded to "waiting" on my screen. I have tried to delete the app, but there is no x button that appears for it. I also went back to the App Store to see if it was installing, but instead of showing something that says it's downloading, it says I can open the app instead. So my question is how do I get the app to become unfrozen in the "waiting" state? I can't open the app by pressing on it. I've also tried to restart my phone in order to "fix" the problem, but that didn't do anything. Thanks in advance to whoever can help me fix this problem.

Well I seemed to have fixed the problem by deleting the app through itunes. Afterwards I unlocked my phone to delete the "ghost" copy of the app on my phone. Afterwards I ended up redownloading the app through itunes. The only problem with that was that it deleted all my saves, but fortunately I saved an earlier save on my computer and didn't have to restart from the very beginning. I used iExplorer to save all my files onto my computer.

After installing ios6 I now have app downloads stuck in waiting mode. I went to down in App Store but could not find a way to disable them. How can I do this. I never had this problem on ios5. I'm using an iPad 3

Try downloading in iTune (computer) and sync to iPad.

App Store Update keeps showing even after installing

the app store on my macbook air keeps showing an update for MacBook Air SMC Firmware update 1.8. it shows 1.66f60 is installed in the system info page.
the MacBook air is late 2010 with OS X 10.9 Mavericks. The update acts like it is installing but, it still shows up in the app store update even after rebooting.
any help would be appreciated.

This may or not be related to the OP's post...
I have an Epson Artison 810, and since Mountain Lion was installed, my iMac (when waking from sleep or rebooting) keeps asking me if I'd like to download an update for this printer. If I click Yes, I'm taken to the App Store, where, after waiting WAY too long, it tells me my system's up to date, and that no updates are available.

Several apps are frozen on waiting

several apps are frozen on waiting...I cannot delete them because there is no X to delete

If there are multiple apps trying to download at once, only one can download at a time and the rest say "Waiting" until it is then their turn. Try this. Double tap the icon of the Waiting app, and it should resume the download.

Another thing to try - Turn the iPad Off & then back ON.
If that doesn't work:
• Log out of your iTunes store account. Go to Settings > Store > Sign Out Then press the Home button.
• Then press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously and don't release them when it brings up the Turn Off screen; keep holding them until the Apple logo appears.
• After restart, the Waiting should be gone.

Setup of PRE & PSE V12 fails repeatedly even after reboot

I have a working installation of
Lightromm 5.3
Photoshop Elements V11
Premiere Elements V11
on a Windows 7 SP1 PC.
After purchasing a new licenes of PSE&PRE V12 succesfully downloaded and unpacked all files.
but Setup process fails even after reboot and reset to recovery point.

Hi,
Please try to install the software with a new administrator account. A new local administrative account can rule out network policies, corrupt profiles, and incorrectly setup administrative accounts: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/create-user-account#create-user-account=windows -7
If the error continues to appear, restart Windows in modified mode and try to install Elements 12 again: http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/restart-windows-modified-mode-windows.html

Imovie freezes up even after rebooting

I have a 4 month old imac, toay I tried to use imovie for the first time and discovered that
it is not working. It freezes and will not respond even after rebooting. There was a message
telling me that it was currently downloading my movies, but the download never progressed
and I had to force quit to leave imovie.

Linda,
I'm not sure what is going on, have you tried posting to the iMovie forum to ask?

HT5538 Every time I try to use apple ID for face time I got an error message "the username or password was incorrect" although they are right and I use them in App Store and I cloud even after resetting my password

Every time I try to use apple ID for face time I got an error message "the username or password was incorrect" although they are right and I use them in App Store and I cloud even after resetting my password, the problem happens also with iMessage . Please help

For what it's worth, you posted this in 2011, and here in 2014 I am still having this same issue. Over the last two days, I have had to unlock my apple account 8 times. I didn't get any new devices. I haven't initiated a password reset. I didn't forget my password. I set up two factor authentication and have been able to do the unlocking with the key and using a code sent to one of my devices.
That all works.
It's this having to unlock my account every time I go to use any of my devices. And I have many: iMac, iPad, iPad2, iPad mini, iPhone 5s, iPod touch (daughter), and my old iPhone 4 being used as an ipod touch now. They are all synced, and all was working just fine.
I have initiated an incident with Apple (again) but I know they are just going to suggest I change my Apple ID. It's a simple one, and one that I am sure others think is theirs. I don't want to change it. I shouldn't have to. Apple should be able to tell me who is trying to use it, or at least from where.
Thanks for listening,
Melissa

HT1725 My app downloads are stuck waiting. There is no 'downloads' tab in iTunes. Very aggravating

My app downloads are stuck waiting. There is no 'downloads' tab in iTunes. Very aggravating. I sign into iTunes. No download tab. I sign not App Store. No download tab. 2 apps stuck on 'waiting'. Have reset iPad2 - no progress.

Also, I'm unable to delete the 2 apps. So they just sit there taking up space.
I'd like to at least be able to start the downloads or delete the apps. I can't do either.

AirPlay button not appearing even after reboot

I recently updated my iPhone 3Gs 32GB to iOS 4.2.1 and found no AirPlay button. I read a thread about rebooting your iPhone once, but that didn't fix the problem either. Even after rebooting the device, I still can't see any AirPlay button. Any help?

I have the same probelm and even thought the botton on
any suggestions ?

App download frozen at "completing purchase".

App download frozen at "completing purchase". PayPal has confirmed the transaction. App World has my $ and I have no product. How can I speak with someone from app world to resolve this issue and get my $ back?

Hello,
I had the same problem.
I disputed the payment and got it back.

My iPad is not charging even after rebooting and checking the charger on another device.

My iPad is not charging even after rebooting and checking the charger on another device.

So your charger works on another device just not on your ipad?
if so, make an appointment at your local apple store and have them check it out.
