App get grey box

I have always been download updates for my apps twice a day and it's been fine now when I update or download new apps I get a grey box on the app icon and it says waiting and will stop and it is stuck on the app downloading with a grey box
What should I do and how can I fix it

i'm having the exact same issues, the only way to get rid of this is to wait for the apps to install (a good way to see if they are done is to wait for the loading circle at the top of the screen to stop) then to re-boot your iphone and the updated apps should be there!
why not do what i've done and submit feedback to apple so they can make a fix?

  • Why do i get grey boxes from page two onwards on google image searches on my macbook pro

    Does anyone with the Macbook Pro Model 7.1 OS X Version 10.6.7 have the following problem. When I do an image search in google only the first page of images is displayed and the following pages only show grey boxes.
    I have recently been to Australia and had my Macbook with me used my friends wireless connection and everything worked perfectly, come back to the UK and same problem.
    (1) Is this a router problem? (2) How do I fix it if it is?
    InNever had this problem when using a Windows OS Laptop.

    No mention of which browser you are using so I'll assume it's Safari.
    When I do an image search in google only the first page of images is displayed and the following pages only show grey boxes.
    From your Safari menu bar click Safari / Preferences then select the Appearance tab. Make sure: Display images when the page opens is selected.
    If the box was already checked, from the menu bar again click Safari / Reset Safari. Select the top 7 buttons, click Reset. Quit then relaunch Safari to see if that makes a difference.

  • [BUG] Metro apps get black boxes over animated icons.

    With some research done already, i figured, it is a problem with the FAAX settings with Nvidia card, but i have the same problem with my ATI card. Any suggestions?

    It is a notification comming from the provider. Actualy it can be everything from them, it has nothing to do with balance (neither with push notifications).
    It is a notification message like this one
    http://web.me.com/conterm/Downloads/iPhoneBug-Notification.JPG
    Important is to have this notification "popup" appearing over the first page,
    then lock the screen. Like i told you it is a bug in the iPhone OS, I just need confirmation.
    Mobile me is working again, here is the bug screenshot:

  • Photos not downloading to app. Getting blank grey boxes instead.

    Hello,
    I recently had the need to log out of iCloud to troubleshoot an issue on my iPad Air 2 running iOS 8.1.2.
    In the photos app, I've got iCloud Photo Library turned on, most of my photos downloaded fine, however, there are several dozen that are showing up as blank grey boxes. If I tap on one, it goes full screen and a little progress circle appears, then hangs up a quarter of the way competed.
    I received a new iPhone 6 Plus the day before yesterday, also on ios 8.1.2, and when I logged into all my accounts on it, all the photos downloaded to it without issue. None were missing or grey.
    Anyone have any ideas why these photos aren't downloading properly to my iPad?
    I've tried both rebooting and a hard reboot (home+ power).
    I really would like to avoid having to log out of iCloud again, or restore the iPad,, since it literally takes 15-18 hours for all my data to sync back to the device, most need ing manual intervention to speed up the process, ie launching apps and letting them stay open until all data is synced, then launching the next app, and so on. For example, my collection of photos has 10,974 images and videos, so that alone takes hours and hours to sync.

    Yes, the photos are/were on iCloud.com, in addition to, my iPhone 6 Plus. All the photos, except for the newest images, are backed up in iPhoto. I uploaded my entire photo library into the iCloud Photo Library because of the compression, where 98gigs of photos only take up only 28gigs on my iCloud Drive and 9gigs on my iDevices. Can't beat having all your photos in your pocket.
    That being said, I knew there would be issues, as iCloud Photo Library is in beta. Moreover, I have found iOS 8 and Yosemite to be the buggiest and most frustrating software releases I have dealt with since the initial release of OS X, back in 2001.
    Sad to say that, "It just works," cannot be used to describe the current state of Apples software.
    So, I still have over 10,000 images, loosing 108 images isn't really all that big a deal. I just hope it doesn't continue to happen.
    On a side note. I have a lot of issues trying to share images with shared folders. I create and name a shared folder. I add people. Then I open the folder, hit the big plus, select photos, hit done, and nothing happens. Sometimes I can get it started by selecting only one photo. Other times I try it on a different device to get it to work. It only works about 60% of the time. It's so frustrating, I'm looking for alternatives.

  • Why have some apps on my Ipad turned into a grey box with lines in it?

    3 apps on my ipad have turned from icons into grey boxes with lines in them. When I click on them, they try updating but it doesn't complete. What's going on here? Is this some kind of virus?

    Not a virus. More like a glitch. When mine did that all I needed to do was to open the apps and the icons reset.
    If you won't lose any game progress or the such, you could try to delete and then redownload the apps.
    If you're having issues downloading the apps, try to go into the settings, iTUnes and app store, sign out and then sign back in.
    The app store has been a bit wiggy lately. I've had some issues downloading apps or updates and it's not on my end, it's on Apple's end. Which, unfortunately, means there's not much a user can do but wait for Apple to fix it.

  • RE: TOC grey boxes I can't get rid of.

    On the TOC page in all the templates and also on the book I’m making there are two light grey box shapes showing at the bottom of the page that I can’t get rid of. They don't respond to selecting, moving or deleting. My questions are:
    How do I get rid of them?
    Will they show up when previewed on an iPad? (I don’t have one yet)
    Does anyone else have these boxes, or have I inadvertently created them?
    Thanks for your help
    I have to say, I'm really impressed by iBook Author

    Trojans attached to an e-mail are almost certainly Windows malware, and of no harm to your Mac.  (I have yet to hear of Mac malware being distributed that way, though it could happen in the future.)
    Of course, you should still delete them, but since spam containing Windows malware is very common these days, it will just come back.  Note, though, that you should not allow your anti-virus software to quarantine or delete e-mail messages, as that can cause your mail database to become corrupt.  If you are using Apple's Mail, use your AV software to find the file containing the message that has the malware in it, and show it in the Finder.  In ClamXav, you control-click the malware in the list and choose Reveal in Finder.  The file's name should end in .emlx, and if so, double-click that file to open the message in Mail.  (This does not open the attachment!)  Then delete or junk the message in Mail.
    Good luck!

  • I can see the pictures in iPhoto but when I try to open a picture I get a grey box with a big !

    I can see the pictures in iPhoto but suddenly this morning when I try to open a picture I get a grey box with a big "!" Please help!

    You really should run check for updates. It's up to 9.1.3 now.
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

    You need to upgrade to Office 2008 or newer, or switch to a product such as OpenOffice or iWork.
