App update freezes

During an app update on my iPad, the update froze. I have tried a re-set, I've powered on and off, I've shut the app down, I've signed in and out of iTunes. Nothing helps, still frozen. I'd like to just delete the app, but there doesn't seem to be a way to do this on the iPad. I cannot connect to a computer for the next two weeks, I'm iPad only for that time. Using iOS 6.0.1
Any thoughts appreciated, thanks.

Now I know how Homer Simpson feels.
DOH!
Lost my mind when I wrote the question, apparently. Thanks.

Why do the app updates freeze?

Since last iOS 7.0.4 update the Apps updates will not work. Also I go into settings and tap the App Store and it freezes. Anyone having the same problem or know how to fix it?

Update these apps on iTune (computer) and sync to iPad.
Turn this setting on.

HT201401 app updates freeze and wont finish download?

I have 4 apps updates that are frozen and won't finish. What can be done

you can do a reset, hold down the home/power button together until you see the apple logo and then release, then wait for the phone to boot back up. Then try updating the apps.

Market App Updates freeze indefinitely on "downloading"...

For at least 4 weeks, I have been unable to update my existing Market applications. When I try, each application freezes in the downloading mode. I have tried the usual suggestion of clearing Market and Download Manager cache and data. This does nothing. I now have 11 applications that need downloading, including some crucial ones.
Any suggestions?

Hello Becky320,
I'm glad to hear that you were able to get a resolution to the issue that you were having. May I ask what other questions did you have about your device? We are available to assist with any wireless concerns that you may have.

App updates freezing

Trying to update apps with IOS7 but the updates never complete and am unable to use the apps as they remain greyed out. When returning to iTunes Store it says so many updates are available b none appear on the update screen. How do I get my apps working again?

I have an iPad (Model MC774E/A) running IOS 7.02 (11A501) and it will show the notification on the App Store icon that there are apps available for update. I go in to the App Store and update and it changes the rectangle UPDATE icon to a circle and the icon on the relevant screen greys out.
I then note that the update has hung or taking a long time. Going back into the App Store I cannot get to the Updates screen, it is completely white.
I have to power reset to resolve and all is fine for a few days and then it starts again.
I also have an iPhone5 with IOS 7.02 but never experienced this.

App updates freeze after iOS 6 installation?

After installing IOS 6 on my iPad, I got a message to upgrade 13 apps. I hit install all, at which point all the apps to be upgraded froze, and have remained frozen for the past three days. I've tried resetting the iPad, but that doesn't work. If I delete the frozen app, and attempt to reload it I get the same frozen message that it's "installing." Any other ideas before I visit the Genius Bar?

Try a reset:
1. Hold the Sleep and Home button down (together)
2. For about 10 seconds
3. Until you see the Apple logo (very important)
Note: You may need to do it a few times

ITunes freezes downloading app updates

I'm running 10.5 (141) on my iMac running Lion and am running into a problem where iTunes will constantly freeze when I download my app updates. If I download updates individually, there doesn't seem to be a problem and if I turn off simultaneous downloads, the probelm will be less frequent but it always seems to happen if I have a bunch of apps to download. The scenario is this, I will click on "Download All Free Updates" and it will start downloading away. Things will be fine for a while but after a few minutes of downloading, I'll notice that suddenly the progress bars stop moving and the estimated times start going up. At this point, iTunes is effectively hung. I can sometimes press a few buttons like "pause all" and this will pause all the non-active downloads but not the ones in progress. Even though I can get to the Finder, I cannot quit iTunes, force quit iTunes or restart my system. If I try to force quit iTunes from the dock, that will usuually cause the dock to freeze. Each time this happens, my only recourse is a hard reboot. I've tried having Activitiy Monitor running and a Termimal window open at the same time but when this happen, both of those apps hang at the same time so I'm not able to type any commands or quit any processes.
This is any annoying problem because each time I do a hard reboot, I risk corrupting my iTunes library. I've had similar problems with iTunes in the past freezing but those were random. This always happens during app downloads. I had hoped that this kind of thing would stop once iTunes was a true Cocoa application but it still seems to bring the whole system down whenever it has a major problem. My guess is that it's crashing some network process and that in turn in hanging the whole system.
Luckily, I don't actually need to update the apps on my computer and can do it directly from my iDevices but it's frustrating that this problem exists. Any ideas?

I can't believe that no one answered Eric D's querry! It has been over a year! Come on Apple iPad users, help us out.
I have a similar problem that arrose recently. I have had my iPad for a couple of years, no problem. But recently, I notied that I had a number of apps that had free upgrades so I began to download them. ArtRage is one of my important apps as I use it on my iPad andI have ArtRage Pro on my iMac. However, when I attempted to download the latest upgrade, ArtRage froze. The app is greyed out on the iPad and it can't be used and I can't download the upgrade either. When I try to upgrade, it goes to "waiting ..." then, I receive an error window, "Unable to Download Application." ArtRage" could not be downloaded at this time: with a "Done" and "Retry" button. If I hit the Retry button, eventually the same error window reappears. This is a Catch 22! Moreover, the ArtRage App is frozen so I can't even use the previous version.
I checked with ArtRage help and they say this is an Apple problem (or a Appstore problem). I now have my SketchBook Pro app frozen like this also. These are two of my most importat and most used apps. I need help.
Just to make things clear, I was able to download Dragon a few minutes ago. So this problem does not effect all the apps I need to download.

Mac Pro wont software update and a lot of apps keep freezing/crashing/not responding

Mac Pro wont software update and a lot of apps keep freezing/crashing/not responding Im on OSX Lion and i have a Mac Pro 1.1 please help

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Shut down your computer, wait 30 seconds, and then hold down the shift key while pressing the power button.
When you see the gray Apple logo, release the shift key.
If you are prompted to log in, type your password, and then hold down the shift key again as you click Log in.
*Note: If FileVault is enabled under OS X 10.7 or later, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode. Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

IPhone FREEZE from too many app updates over 3G - a question

hi,
Today I was in Manhattan and wanted to try out the 3G network (that I don't have where I live in CT). I had about 17 apps that needed to be updated, so I thought I might as well let them do their thing while I drove in.
Long story short, having all these apps updating went on for HOURS, and in the end crashed my phone and left it frozen on the startup screen until I got home and forced a restore. Probably not a good idea in the first place...
My question: is there a way to cancel an app update once you've started one over WIFI or 3G/Edge?
Seems like an essential function .. if not..

This is an unnecessary function if it does NOT WORK.
Don't bother updating iPhone apps over 3G/wi-fi.

Since migrating from Windows 7 to Windows 8 and upgrading to iTunes 11, the latter has frozen while syncing my devices, usually while at the “determining apps to sync” stage of the process. If I am attempting to download app updates before attempting to sync, the problem normally occurs at the first “installing app x” stage. In addition, the whole iTunes experience is extremely sluggish and will even freeze while searching for a track. Everything worked fine on Windows 7. So far, I have repaired the program several times and have checked for compatibility issues, but there is no Windows 8 option in the combo box, obtained after right-clicking the icon and selecting Properties/Compatibility. As a result, I am unable to sync my devices. If I uninstall iTunes before re-installing, will this affect my iTunes libraries? Does anyone have any suggestions?

After going by elimination to isolate if the problem was from (1) iTunes app, (2) my computer or (3) my old iPhone 4G, I figured out what my problem was.
1) First I deleted & reinstalled iTunes on my Windows PC without succes, my playlist did not changed on my iPhone.
2) I tested a successful #sync from the iMac at work.
So my conclusion is: The hard drive on my Windows PC is full and that is affecting iTunes SYNC functionalities.
So I'll do a back-up then run a "Clean Install" of my Windows OS, hoping that it will fix my SYNC problems.

Iphone 4 won't download app updates

My iPhone 4 stalls when downloading updates - IOS 6.0.1. The App store finds & lists available updates, but when I click on install the updates freeze and after a while I get a message saying the download can't be completed at this time. This also freezes the app, so in order to use it I have to delete and restore the app. I thought it was a WiFi issue, but this has been happening for a while even after several iPhone resets and while using strong WiFi. Has anyone experienced this problem and found a solution?

FCPro will not open after Pro Apps update

Did recommended software updates at the end of the day yesterday. Quicktime, Pro App Support, Pro App Update, Audio Update, Security Update and Compressor. (Also iTunes, AirPort and Security 2007-07.
Now Final Cut just freezes on the splash screen. Tried to trash the prefs, but FCP does not even load enough to see that the earlier prefs are gone.
Am frustrated that I have again just taken Apple's word that an update will make things better, not worse.
Any suggestions, gang? My client is not as patient as we are.
-robert

Thanks, Randy and Ed. I repaired permissions and restarted twice and the issue disappeared. For whatever reason the Pro Apps update only crippled iDVD and FCPro for five hours, then quietly went away.
The prefs-trashing and permissions-repairing you suggested are what my dad used to call "kicking the mule"... there is no one reason that banging the side of the TV or resetting an unrelated thing on a computer helps it any more than giving the mule a kick, but sometimes that's all that is needed.
That said, no actual mules or any other animals were harmed in the correction of this glitch. I may have to kick my client though.
