App has been waiting forever

I've been trying to download an app from the app store and it just shows the pause button and a little to the left of that it shows the waiting message. if I go to the app in the app store, the Install button is grayed out and will not let me select it. In Launchpad, it shows that the app is paused, but in the app store it says its waiting. I've been waiting for almost an hour with no change. Please help me.
Thanks guys!

In Launchpad, select an app and hold until the icons start shaking. From there, delete the app that's stuck on Waiting. Navigate to the App Store and install the app again. Let us know if you have further questions.

  • I have a 4s and my Facebook app has been in waiting mode since yesterday! It's frozen!!

    My Facebook app has been in waiting mode for a day! Nothing I have done is fixing it!

    Try terminating the Facebook App and restarting it.
    If that does not work try restarting and/or resetting your iDevice.
    Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after It shuts down, press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
    Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds).

    I would suggest uninstalling the app, if it is app that you install, or buy. I also think that you should try getting a ipod touch trouble shooting book.

    Analytics can be accessed from the account under which folios are published for that app. If you don't see it under the account, I think it's best you contact support. Login to your DPS dashboard and click on "Contact Support" at the bottom left

  • HT1338 I  had the geek squad from bestbuy supposedly install iphoto 11 on my mac but it is not there and when i try to download it it say the app has been download by another user on this machine.  What do i need to do get get this app on my system?

    I  had the geek squad from bestbuy supposedly install iphoto 11 on my mac but it is not there and when i try to download it it say the app has been download by another user on this machine.  What do i need to do get get this app on my system?  If they could not do it right the first time I do not have much faith in their advice.

    Assuming you've done a system wide search for it including the Applications folder and it's not there......
    I think you will need to address this with them - did you pay them for the application? Or was your purchase price to include it? And the question(s) to ask them:
    If the app store states that it has been downloaded, ask them where it is and which Apple ID they used. (the store keeps track of Apple IDs and machine IDs on everything you download).
    I have absolutely no faith in their advice; however, in this case, it's not so much technical advice, but an answer to your questions: you paid for something and it appears not to be there.

  • Somehow my iTunes app has been put into the trash.  How can I get this and all of the stuff that was in it back to my Application folder?  I try to drag it out of trash, but it won't work.

    Somehow my iTunes app has been put into the trash.  How can I get this and all of the stuff that was in it back to my Application folder?  I try to drag it out of trash, but it won't work.

    Also, when I do try to drag it out of the Trash to put it back into Applications (on the Finder sidebar), it asks me to authenticate with the administration password.  I enter it, and then a window appears saying that I can't do that because I do not have permission to modify iTunes.  Please help.

  • How can I check how many times or when an app has been re-downloaded on my iphone

    How can I check how many times or when an app has been re-downloaded on my iphone. I know how to check purchases but I am looking for how to check when an app had been re-downloaded on my device whether it's through my device or Apple ID

    You mention "lack of control" several times.  The control is there - you control the Apple ID and password that owns the app.  No other Apple ID can use the app.  You have not shared your Apple ID or password with anyone, so you and only you own the app.
    Therefore, the number of times the app is downloaded or re-downloaded is completely irrelevant.  You might, for example, decide to purchase a new iPhone or iPad and download the app there.  Or the app developer may issue a new version which you download.  None of this matters regarding your "control" of the app.  All that matters is that you own it and nobody else can use it.

  • How do you find out how many times an app has been downloade

    Wondering where I can find out how many times an app from the app store has been downloaded?

    Are you asking if you can find out how many times an app has been downloaded from the app store? Or you asking if you can find how many times you have downloaded the app? If the former, you could try asking the developer. If the latter, none that I know of.

  • For about the past week, Facebook has been taking forever to load (or just not) on my mac (OSX 10.5.8; Safari 5.0.6).  Other sites are fine.  I routinely empty the cache, clear history, cookies, etc. each time I shut down.  Suggestions?

    For about the past week, Facebook has been taking forever to load (or just doesn't) on my mac (OSX 10.5.8; Safari 5.0.6).  Other sites are fine.  I routinely empty the cache, clear history, cookies, etc. each time I shut down.  Suggestions?

    I don't use Facebook, but I can say that clearing the cache every time you shut down is excessive - unless you're sure the cache is corrupt you should leave it alone.  It exists to speed up your browsing experience by loading frequently requested items from your drive rather than downloading them fresh from the internet each time.  So, I would say stop clearing your cache and see what happens.
    As for clearing cookies: I'm not sure what method you currently use, but I would recommend you download and install CCleaner.  It's free, and allows you to build up a list of cookies that you want to clear and those you want to keep, before deleting them.
    Both of these may help speed things up by reducing the amount of work Safari has to perform whilst browsing.  Regardless, I'd say that, unless there's a reason you've not mentioned for performing the "purging" that you do, making these two changes should see improvements in general web browsing if not specifically when loading Facebook.

  • 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?

  • How can I uninstall Trend Micro Safe Surfing once the app has been deleted from my Mac OS X?

    How can I uninstall Trend Micro Safe Surfing once the app has been deleted from my Mac OS X?

    Check to see if there's such a folder as  either
    /Library/Application Support/Trend Micro
    ~/Library/Application Support/Trend Micro
    and if so, see if either contains an uninstaller.
    Failing that, download the demo version of the app from Trend Micro, and try the uninstaller that it should contain.
    If all else fails, the manual way would be to use something like EasyFind and search for anything with "com.trendmicro" in the filename (you can use Finder, but be sure to include system files and invisible files in the search options). Pay particular attention to the folders
    /Library/LaunchAgents
    /Library/LaunchDaemons
    ~/Library/LaunchAgents
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins
    ~/Library/Preferences
