App logos in "waiting" status

Certain apps logos on my home screen say "waiting" and i can't get them to work or 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.

Hi bunjamin,
just go to BlackBerry World, and update all your apps including BBM.

you can turn off the magnifying glass :

you can deactivate the "reset to Hub view" :
hub >> overflow (bottom right button) >> Settings >> Display and actions >> Return to Default View When Idle >> OFF

Download app store apps stay in "wait" status

Since i updated to ios 5.0.1 everytime i try to dowload an app or update an app form the app strore, the download proces will stay in "wait" status. I've tryed now 3 times to reset my ipad2 but with no effect

This might help as well. Sign out of your account on the iPad, restart the iPad and then sign back into your account.
Go to Settings>Store>Apple ID - tap on the ID and sign out.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Then go to Settings>Store>Sign and sign back in. See if you can resume the download - or see if it starts up on it's own. Try tapping the icon it try to resume the download.

Apps stuck in 'waiting' status

I've seen a few similar posts, but adding mine here. iPad2 software version 5.1 - last two days, app downloads and updates stuck in 'waiting' status. Tried signing out, powering off and back on, and then signing back in, but no luck. Works fine when syncing through itunes on computer, but no luck with cloud downloads or over wi-fi from app store. Also automatic cloud downloads aren't pushing to iPad. Help us Apple!!!!

First, Apple isn't on these forums, so your'e just writing your fellow users here. Second, Apple servers are overloaded with new users updating to their new devices, downloading new apps, etc. Give it a few days to settle down, but you're just seeing the fact that there are more users than the servers can handle at one time.

I really do not think it is the iPad or your network connection. Other users have reported this very same issue. Try this and see if it works for you - it may not work - but it's easy to try - harmless - and it has worked in the past for others.
Try signing out of your account and restart your iPad.
Go to Settings>Store>Apple ID and tap the ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button. Go back to Settings>Store> Apple ID and sign in again.

Restore new iPad Mini from iPad 1 backup. Ican update new apps from Apple store but most of my apps have been showing the Waiting status for over 12 hours. Store shows them as installed. What gives?

If the downloads are stalled or "waiting" - try these suggestions.
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.
Make sure that you do not have a stalled download in iTunes - a song or podcast .... if you have a download in there that did not finish, complete that one first. Only one thing can download at a time on the iPad so that could be what is causing the problem.
If that doesn't work - sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
Settings>iTunes & App Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Go back to Settings>iTunes & App Store>Sign in and then try to update again. Tap one waiting icon only if necessary to start the download stream.
You can also try deleting the waiting icons - tap and hold down on an icon until it wiggles - the tap the X on the icon to delete it. Then try to download again.
You can try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your app preferences and device settings again.
If all else fails, download the updates or the apps in iTunes on your computer and then sync the content to your iPad.

Dowload app from app store stay in wait status

Since i update to ios 5.0.1 on my ipad2 everytime if i want to download apps form the app store the status of the downlaod proces stays in "wait" status and the app will not be installed.

Hi fredfromroosendaal,
You can try do a soft reset by pressing the home and power together for around 10-15 secs and wait it reboot.
After that try download again and it should solve the problem.
I face this before and get it done by doing step above.
Hope this works for you too.

HELP - apps in waiting status!!!

Hi!!
I have an ipad 2, and have never had issues with this before. I have a few apps that are in "waiting" status. I tried restoring all settings, I tried logging into and out of the store from both the ipad and my computer, I tried syncing the apps from my computer.....but am still having difficulty - 1 is a new app that I downloaded, and the other is an update!!
What else can I try???
Thanks, Wendy

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. Check for Updates (bottom right) in iTune. When download is completed, sync to iPad.

HT1688 I'm trying to download a audiobook I got this morning with iTunes. However, the book is frozen on "waiting" status, what is the audiobook "waiting" for?

I'm trying to download a audiobook I got this morning with iTunes. However, the book is frozen on "waiting" status, what is the audiobook "waiting" for?

Hello Jose,
I would be concerned too if the audiobook I purchased from iTunes was not downloading on my iPhone. I have a few suggestions to get it downloaded to your iPhone.
First, I recommend checking to see if the download was interrupted:
If your download was interrupted using your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
From the Home screen, tap the iTunes app.
For iPhone or iPod touch, tap More > Downloads. For iPad, tap Downloads.
Enter your account name and password if prompted.
Tap the blue download arrow to resume.
iTunes: How to resume interrupted iTunes Store downloads
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1725
If the audiobook still does not download, I recommend signing out and back into the iTunes Store on your iPhone:
Changing your Apple ID account
Tap Settings > iTunes & App Stores, then tap the Apple ID signed in.
Sign out of the current Apple ID account and then sign in with another account or create a new Apple ID.
The last step states to sign in with another account, but for the situation you described, I recommend just signing in with your same Apple ID.
You can find the full article here:
iOS: Changing the signed-in iTunes Store Apple ID account

If you are still not able to download the audiobook, you can report an issue with this purchase using the steps in this article:

App hung on "waiting"; during update, I lost my wifi connection; now cannot delete to reinstall (no X), syc does not help; itunes store says it is installed and I cannot reinstall; deleting from itunes and synching does not remove "hung app"; HELP

App hung on "waiting"; during update, I lost my wifi connection and the app hung; now cannot delete to reinstall (no X), synching does not help; itunes app store says it is installed, therefore I cannot reinstall; deleting the app from itunes and synching does not reinstall the app on the ipod; the app developers have not helped and told me to check with Apple (which I am doing, since I am past my 90 day tech support). Hoping someone can help with this hung "waiting' app problem.

- First try resetting the iPod:
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Next download the app on the computer and try to sync.
- Last, restore from backup.

Apps stuck in waiting after updating on iOS 7.0.2

Since i updated my iPad 2 to iOS 7.0.2 i have this persistent problem, I tried everything to make it normal but it never happens.
After i update an App on my iPad throught the AppStore on the iPad this problem occurs.
1. Eventhough the update is complete the app gets stuck in "waiting... " state
2. However the App opens through the AppStore on the iPad
Above are few of the apps stuck in waiting and they have a Open button adjacent to them.
Notice that iBooks is on waiting... however i can open it through the app store.
and use it normally.
Only solution which works as of now is to delete the apps from settings on the iPad and install them again from the Appstore, but then i'd loose all the data i previously have.
I have no Idea why this is happening. I cannot open the stuck apps directly by taping them i have to go through the AppStore. Please help.
PS: You cannot uninstall app by long tapping it because the X mark does not appear on the app.

Try a reset ...
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, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings

Apps stuck on waiting

Recently my iPhone (OS5) has encountered problems with installing apps. The first time it happened was last week, I attempted to install an app from the app store and it displayed the "waiting.." status and did not go away. I restarted but it was still there. I was able to press the X on the app to remove it, but the problem arised again when I downloaded the app from the app store. In fact, the same thing happened whichever app I attempted to download. Even when I tried to update current apps from the update tab on the apps store they turned to the "waiting.." status. I have connected via itunes on my computer, downloaded an app but it doesn't appear on my iphone. Could anyone help me out?
To be clear, I have read the existing related posts but please note that:
restarting my iphone does not solve the problem
connecting to itunes on my computer does not solve the problem
I am able to close the app with the X button but when i try again I have the same problem
I know many people will just post their problem without searching the forum first, just wanted to say I did some research prior to posting
Dawn

Hey Dawn
Had the same problem and found your post without any reply but you gave me an idea that worked for me. but try at your own risk as I do not know what I am doing just that it worked.
Plug in your device to your computer .
In itunes under the device and apps are all your apps there? in the left column where they are listed. If so this means that all of your apps are backed up in your computer.
First Sync your device, wait for it to complete. (as you mentioned this did not fix it)
Now, try this with one app that shows "waiting", maybe one you dont care too much about: On your IOS device X it. (delete it) It will give you a warning that you will loose all data of that app. Say okay.
Now make sure that that app is selected on the left hand column on the itunes app page for the device.
Sync again (it should be quick as it should only update the apps)
Again for all the other apps this did not help, but for that one app that you try it should now show up on your IOS device correctly and run.
If you feel comfortable with my procedure now X (delete) all the other apps that show waiting and sync again.
Hope this works for you like it did for me.
The root cause of my problem (I believe) is that I bought a new iphone and at the store I restored using icloud. Once the phone was up and running I left the store which interrupted the restore of apps and music. Once I got to my home it was trying to do everything at the same time and it got stuck. So I figured I would just sync and get rid of the problem, but you like you mentioned it did not help. I mention this as it might be applicable to what happend to you.
