App updated half way, and stopped. Can't delete or continue download.

I impatiently decided to update several apps on the road today, before I had access to WiFi (at work). App started downloading the update and stopped about half way. I assumed that once I was able to contect to the network, it would speed up and complete without problem. Well, now it's stuck. I can't delete it or access it. It's basically a dead icon on my screen.
I haven't tried connecting it to my iTunes at home, but is there another way to access installed apps and force delete? iPhone finder?
Thanks!

Sometimes it's the simple solutions that slip our minds
No probs

    Make sure your iPad is located close to your wifi router so you have an excellect wifi/internet connection.

  • Cannot connect to Itunes, status bar goes about half way and stops. I have tried all the fixes other people have used, no joy. Running Vista with the most recent Itunes installed. Disabled fire wall and anti virus software. Once again, I have tried it all

    Itunes won't connect, status bar goes about half way and stops, then times out. I have tried all fixes posted, you name it, I have done it. Running Vista and current version of Itunes. Can connect to Internet with any other app. Using Firefox, their latest version if that matters.
    I have seen this is an on going problem throughout the Itunes community. All I can say is 'Bad Form Apple, Bad form.'

    One more odd thing.  The itunes diagnostics believes my windows firewall is on which is it not (believe me I've checked/double checked etc) AND believes itunes is not enable in windows firewall which it is, if ever I turned WF on.  How can itunes get this wrong?  I mean, if itunes believes its being blocked, maybe that's why I'm being blocked...has anyone heard of this?

  • My facebook app went dark and had the word "waiting" below it and I can not delete so I downloaded a new facebook app which is ok but the old app is still there but now the word "waiting" is gone and still cannot delete.

    My facebook app went dark and had the word "waiting" below it and I can not delete so I downloaded a new facebook app which is ok but the old app is still there but now the word "waiting" is gone and still cannot delete.

    This is my boilerplate respone for the "waiting apps" problem. Give these suggestions a try in order.
    1. Tap the "waiting" icon and see if you can pause it. If it does pause, then tap it again and see if it will resume. If that works, repeat the same steps for each "waiting" icon.
    2. 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.
    3. Make sure that you do not have a stalled download in iTunes - if you have a download in there that did not finish, complete that one first.
    4. 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.
    5. 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. Apps may also be able to be deleted in Settings>General>Usage>Storage if you cannot get the X to pop up on the icon.
    6. You can try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered.
    7. If all else fails, download the updates or the apps in iTunes on your computer and then sync the content to your iPad.

  • HT2045 Got new song but only play half way and STOP!!!!

    Okay just got a new song from iTunes, but when  I playing it, the song goes half way and then stop. Someone can help me, if I try downloading it again do I need to pay again?

    - Delete it and redownload it following these instructions so you will not have to pay again.
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    - Also try a reset. nothing is lost.
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Next would be to restoe from backup

  • App updates are stalled and stop?  What is the problem?

    When I update an App I am prompted for my AppleId password, then the update indicator spins, ad resets to the update box again

    Force close the App Store app, reset your iPad and then try again. You will not lose any data when you perform the reset.
    In order to close apps, you have to drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
    In order to reset your iPad, hold down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple logo appears on the screen after which time you can release the buttons and let the iPad start up.

  • Apps will not restore and I can not delete them.

    Just purchased an iPad Air as an upgrade from an iPad 1. Backed up the iPad1 to the Cloud. Then restored to the Air. Most apps restored although it took some fiddling.
    But some will not restore. Their icons are dark. Pressing and holding the icon makes them all wiggle and I hit the Delete ('X'). It confirms that I want to Delete and I hit Delete. But the icon will not go away. What am I doing wrong?

    The icons are dark because they are still being restored. Hopefully you have not terminated the restore prematurely.
    Note: The restore in the background can take hours if you have a slow internet.

  • App frozen half way through loading, won't delete.

    I was downloading a new app from App Store. It wasn't loading so I decided that I would just delete it and start again. Now it stuck, as such. Even when I make the icons "wiggle" it does not come up with the "x" to delete it with? It is also dull in colour and won't work at all.

    Try this:
    To check and clear incomplete downloads on your phone, just launch the iTunes application on the iPhone> tap Downloads> resume or delete any incomplete downloads(you can slide your finger across the name of the download to see the Delete option).

  • I recently bought and downloaded an album and most of the songs will only play half way then stop can i do anything about this?

Attack! by Attack Attack and most of the songs will only play halfway then they will just go silent i have tried contacting apple about this but have found no real topic on their site to do with this problem and there seems to be no email address for support that i can find can an of you help me?

    Assuming you are in a region where you are allowed to redownload your past music purchases, delete the broken tracks from your iTunes library, go to the iTunes Store home page, click the Purchased link from the Quick Links section in the right-hand column, then select Music and Not on this computer. You should find download links for your tracks there.
    If you don't see them straight away it may help to close and restart iTunes.
    While downloading select Downloads in the left-hand column and make sure Allow Simultaneous Downloads is unticked.
    If the problem persists, or that facility is not yet available in your region, contact the iTunes Store support staff through the report a problem links in your account history, or via Contact Support.
