App install stuck between waiting/installing
Hi All,
iPad3 (Retina) with 3G (64gb), I tried to install an app and it got stuck on waiting, after investigating I'd found it was because my iTunes account had an expired card on it so I've fixed that.
The app is currently on my 09 MBP ready to sync. When I tick the app and sync it, it says 'installing' and the blue bar works its way across, then it goes back to "installing" with the blue bar blank.
I untick it and it won't remove it, it just sits at "Waiting".
** Things I've tried **
- Add/Remove the app via Sync
- Sign in/out of iTunes
- Hard reset
- Settings > Reset > All
- Sign out of iTunes, Airplane On, Reboot, Airplane Off, Sign in.
I'm out of options short of a full factory restore which seems extreme for one tiny app.
Any help would be appriciated.
Try a System Reset:
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.
A System Reset does not remove any apps, music, movies, etc. nor does it cause any settings to revert back to default.
Also, you might wish to download the iPad-2 User Guide. Pay special attention to page 162. Note that this Guide also applies to the iPad-1 with IOS 4.3 except for those functions that are not supported by the hardware.

After installing ios6 I now have app downloads stuck in waiting mode. I went to downloads 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.

On my IPad I cannot update or install any Apps. I've tried restarting and that did not help. The Apps are stuck, darkened and say Waiting.... Please help me figure this issue out.
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.

How To Get Rid Of Your iPad App Download Frozen Problem

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.

Yesterday, I was updating several apps in the app updates section in the app store icon. I requested update for Facebook and two other apps. Now those apps are stuck or frozen. Under the icon on the screen it says, "waiting." On the store app page screen, it says, "instaling." I cannot get into either of those apps. What do I need to do to unfreeze my facebook and the other app? Thanks, gracefromok

most of my apps are stuck on 'waiting' have tried everything possible from what I read however nothing seems to work for me, does anyone know the right way PLEASE as it's very annoying....
When I open emails with PDFs I click on the attachment (doing this all on my iPad) it gives me the option to "open in iBooks", I accept then after that the document is sucked into my iPad but I can't do anything with the PDF after that. Where is the actual file on my iPad? Why can't I email or send these PDFs to my cloud (Dropbox)?
It's like once they go into iBooks they're stuck forever. -
Has anyone found a way to unfreeze apps stuck on 'waiting' when trying to upgrade. All my upgrading apps are stuck on waiting. :(
1. Check iTunes and see if you have a pending/stalled download e.g. Podcast, Books, Music, Movies or iTune U. Finish off the download and you should be able to update.
2. Connect iTune; and Check for available download (under Store). When download is completed, sync to iPad.

App installation stuck on "Waiting..."
I tried installing an app on my iPad (with OS 4.2.1) over our WiFi network, and it was taking an extremely long time without the progress bar even starting to fill up.
Now there is a greyed-out icon for the app with the word "Waiting..." and an unfilled progress bar underneath. So the progress bar never even begins to fill.
I tried rebooting; I tried hard rebooting; I cannot tap to delete the icon; I have removed the app from my iTunes library and resynced. No matter what I do, the greyed-out icon is still there with no change. I gess my best option now is just to restore from a backup, but I would very much like to avoid doing so if at all possible. Any suggestions?Try a System Reset:
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.
A System Reset does not remove any apps, music, movies, etc. nor does it cause any settings to revert back to default.

Why are my new app downloads stuck in waiting?
I know there are quite a few posts on this subject, unfortunately none seem to solve my problem.
Problem:
When I download apps from the app store, they sit "waiting" for days.
-Happens regardless of one or 5 apps in the queue.
-Wifi is working, I'm not using 3G for this.
-Tested on 3 wifi networks.
-Tested deleting all pending apps and reinstalling from app store.
-I'm not near my pc to try the syncing to itunes method and would be a bit disappointed if that was the only solution.
-4xs tried to restart phone.
-Twice restarted (hold home button and power button 10+ secs till Apple logo appears).
-tried to reset network settings.
None of these worked. Does anyone know what I should do or try?
My setup is iPhone 4s, iOS 5.0.1 and won't let me update any further so that must be as current as it gets. I got the phone about 2 weeks ago and have downloaded about 46 apps and deleted several. I noticed this problem while trying to download/ install Find My Friends.
In advance, you're awesome for helping, thank you thank you!Okay, I figured this out.
A podcast in iTunes was not downloading.
Apparently, ios5 will only download one thing at a time and so it sets up a queue that must include all and any downloads: apps, songs, podcast, all of it. So, a tip to anyone with this problem look through all apps that have a queue of downloading items and clear them till you can get your system running again. -
App updates stuck on "waiting"
I have tried to update multiple apps on my ipod touch, but every time it goes to start downloading it just stay on "waiting." No matter how long it is on the app still just stays on waiting. I restarted my device, but I do not believe that the app actually updated correctly, and it does not show up anymore in my available updates. How do I get the updates to stop stalling on waiting forever?
No, that is not the case. These are apps that I have updated before. There is no reason for the update to stay on waiting for 5 or more minutes. Installing is what takes the longest and I'm not talking about that. I click "update", put in my password, then the app just goes to waiting. It is just sitting there on my device doing nothing. This is a new problem I have found that many other users are also experiencing. I am not letting my device disconnect, these apps are not downloading, they are just freaking WAITING!

Hi,
I recently tried to update the instagram app as well as a few others. Every other app successfully updated except for instagram which has been stuck on waiting. I've tried everything but the app is still says waiting..
Any suggestions?Does tapping on it remove it from waiting?
If you sync with iTunes on your computer, you can also connect it and sync it to push it to go through. If that fails, you might be able to try and delete the app stuck in waiting, and re download it and sign in again. -
Does anyone have an issue where your apps get stuck between transitions?
Sometimes when I go and close my apps from the multitasking screen, the ones on my home screen get stuck between transitions. The way to get them to line up right is to swipe the home screen a few times. Can anyone help me fix this issue?
It's not an actual issue - your iPad is running slow as it attempts to close out the apps and free up the memory they were using. If you give it a few seconds it'll catch up and be back to normal.
Which brings up the question - why close the apps this way? There is no need to close any apps from that screen unless they are locked up or caught in a loop that's destroying battery. Otherwise, iOS takes care of all memory and space management with no intervention from the user. -
Why are my apps are stuck on waiting?
i was trying to update twitter and instagram and then they both got stuck on waiting! ive already restarted my settings, turned my phone off then back on, signed in and out of my apple id, ive held down the sleep and home button to restart my phone or whatever and the apps are still stuck on waiting. im trying to stay away from restarting my entire phone but thats what the conclusion is coming to for me. Someone please help me find a resolution to my problem!!!!????
I know you didn't want this answer but unfortunately if you have tried everything.
It is time to restore your phone.
However, you can back up your phone to iCloud and then after the full restore, when it asks how you want to set up your phone, choose, "Restore from iCloud Backup." Those may not be the exact words it says but it is close to that.
Once you restore from iCloud backup, all your apps and settings should be downloaded to your phone. -
My apps are stuck on "Waiting..." when they have been downloaded after iCloud backup restore
My apps were downloaded from my iCloud backup after restoring and updating to iOS 7 and it didn't work quite good. Many apps got stuck "Waiting...", but they're not downloading at all. I can access them through the app store purchased apps section or through multitasking. They work perfectly but the icon doesn't. I tried to delete them, re-download them, I tapped the app icon and nothing worked. What can I do?
By the way, I've tried to sync it again with iTunes and it doesn't sync the "Waiting..." apps. Every time I plug my iPhone and try to check its apps, iTunes stops working for some unknown reason. I forgot to mention that it's an iPhone 4S. Can anyone please help me? This is getting pretty annoying, considering WhatsApp is among these damaged apps and I use it quite a lot.
