App Problem

Question

I do not have Wifi at my home. I was at a place with free wifi, and I was going to be there for a while so I decided to update my apps. Well, it took my iPod 2 days to update about 15 apps; probably because the wifi connection was very slow. But I had to leave when the iPod was less than half-way done, and now half of my apps I cannot use because they are grey and say "waiting..." as if they are waiting to be updated. I cannot finish updating because, like I said, I do not have wifi. Help?

ok so i am having a similar problem. had an amazon.com app update waiting on my ipod and applied the update. a gray icon appeared with waiting underneath and the downloading indicator was turning up top. after a minute or two it stopped but the icon did not change. in the app page in the apps store it said installed so nothing to be done there. under updates it said all apps up to date. tried touching and holding the gray icon thinking i would remove it when the x appeared but it did not appear for that icon. there was no internet issue. i had email access, could use other apps and had no connectivity issues. hours later i purchased talking carl and same thing - looked like it was downloading for a minute or so but instead i now had 2 useless gray icons. once again - no connectivity issues. no problem connecting to the apps store or itunes.
both ipod and itunes are fully up to date with latest versions.
when i connected the ipod to my laptop and itunes, sync did not correct it. i deselected them, clicked apply and removed them.
never had this issue before and have had no other issues. have not tried to buy anything since. frustrating though i must say.
