  • Cannot delete a third party app from my iPad ... it has frozen mid-download and is not going anywhere fast !

    I have a 3rd party app that will not delete. I've tried via iTunes and the App Store but to no avail. I've hard reset my iPad, signed in and out with different Apple ID's but the app remains frozen (mid-download) and I can't get rid of it to reinstall it afresh. Any suggestions ? The developers haven't got a clue how to fix this. I'm the only person with this issue it seems.

    Your compliments made my Thanksgiving day and left me speechless. Thank you. Have a Happy Thanksgiving.

  • Apps frozen wont download

    3xapps frozen for days,  just showing message "waiting" how do I get them going again

    Maybe one of these suggestions will work for you. They have worked for others in the past.
    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.

  • App frozen on download

    downloaded cut the rope over a week ago.  Just sitting in the update section with installing on it.  It is not fully downloaded and I cannot access it to do anything

    Thanks, but frozen screen negates this.  The download was not at my request, but at an iPhone update & giving me the opportunity to download 4 apps at no cost.
    Per a suggestion elsewhere here, I powered off, i.e., holding power & home buttons simultaneously, got the Apple logo, entered the App store and the freeze was gone, and the offered downloads nowhere to be found on my phone.  Well, at least App store is available again.

  • TS1702 App frozen mid install

    How do I uninstall and start over?

    Start with a reset. Press and hold both the power and home buttons 10-15 seconds till the Apple logo appears. Release both buttons. Wait till your iPad starts on it's own.

  • Ipad 3 apps frozen.

    My mom has Ipad 3, when she reboot her ipad all the apps frozen. She has to download an app to make it work again. Is it a manufacture default or just the problem with the OS?

    Read this article about troubleshooting downloaded apps from the app store. I think this might answer your question. If I understand you correctlty that is.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1702
    If this happened as a one time occurrence, this may be what happened.
    3. Install another app from the App Store
    If none of your user-installed apps will launch, there could be an issue with Apple ID authorization. Download and install a free (or paid) app that isn't already installed on your device to reset this information. You could also remove an app from your iOS device and download it again from the App Store or sync the app from your computer.

  • TS1702 App will not download

    My iTunes/movies and my apps will not download and they appear to be frozen.  Any suggestions please to resolve these issues?  Thanks

    Try and download with iTune (computer) and sync to iPad.

  • Apps will not download

    When I click Facebook (or any other app) to download a 'waiting' icon appears but the app never downloads.
    Help!

    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.

  • IOS7 Dictionary Trouble (stuck in mid-download?)

    I've noticed a few topics that sound similar to mine on the surface, but I seem to have an added layer of trouble going.
    I attempted to use the dictionary the other day while using Safari (highlight a word, select "define") and I got the "no definition found" screen. I realized that my dictionary(s) must be missing and I went to the "manage" screen to try to download them. Here's where things get weird:
    1) The Apple dictionary and New Oxford appear to be stuck in mid-download, showing an empty progress circle. (See image)
    2) I was able to download the Oxford British English dicitonary and I've been using that instead. It stays in my list consistently.
    3) I attempted to download the Japanese and Japanese/English dictionaries and they tend to work for a little while, then vanish, requiring me to redownload them.
    I'm kind of assuming the issue is at least partially caused by the two dictionaries at the top that appear to be caught in mid-download. Is there any way to reset those downloads/clear the cache? I've tried rebooting, turning airplane mode on/off, closing down apps that use the dictionary and rebooting again, etc. but nothing seems to change this.
    Would reseting network settings and restoring from backup do anything? Any other ideas?

    Glad you brought this up, I'm exhibiting the same exact issue but on my iPad 2. Both Apple and NOAD dictionaries are stuck where it wasn't before. I'm suspecting it's a bug. I'm actully thinking of nuking it with a fresh install.

    Are you sure you have a 4g/3g iPod?   If you don't have a camera, it's definitely not 4G.  If it has no camera and is 8 or 16 Gb it is a 2G and can't go beyond 4.2.1. 

  • IPad app won't download

    iPad app ,won't download suggestions

    Hi IAndrewD,
    Several issues have encountered this issue. We've seen it in some of our reviews on the app store and on our support email list ([email protected]). So far, everyone who's contacted us has been able to successfully update after verifying that their network connection was working and restarting the download.
    Please try the following:
    1) Make sure wifi and/or cellular data are turned on
    2) Test to be sure your internet connection is working by opening safari and browsing to a website (like www.adobe.com).
    3)  Single tap the app’s icon on the home screen and it will pause the download. Now go back to the iTunes Apps store, switch to the “Updates” screen and click “Update” to resume the download.
    4) If this doesn't work,  go to Settings -> iTunes & App Stores and tap the Apple ID to sign-out. Restart the iPad, go back to Settings -> iTunes Apps Store and sign-in. Tap the waiting icon to update the app.
    I'd also be happy to work with you on our support email alias or by phone if you email [email protected]
    Thank you!

  • HT1338 I  had the geek squad from bestbuy supposedly install iphoto 11 on my mac but it is not there and when i try to download it it say the app has been download by another user on this machine.  What do i need to do get get this app on my system?

    I  had the geek squad from bestbuy supposedly install iphoto 11 on my mac but it is not there and when i try to download it it say the app has been download by another user on this machine.  What do i need to do get get this app on my system?  If they could not do it right the first time I do not have much faith in their advice.

    Assuming you've done a system wide search for it including the Applications folder and it's not there......
    I think you will need to address this with them - did you pay them for the application? Or was your purchase price to include it? And the question(s) to ask them:
    If the app store states that it has been downloaded, ask them where it is and which Apple ID they used. (the store keeps track of Apple IDs and machine IDs on everything you download).
    I have absolutely no faith in their advice; however, in this case, it's not so much technical advice, but an answer to your questions: you paid for something and it appears not to be there.

  • Certain music pieces and apps won't download from my iPod to iTunes on my MacBook

    I want to put what is on my iPod on my new MacBook, but certain pieces and apps won't download because my computer isn't authorized (so it will delete it from my iPod if I sync), but when it asks me to authorize it it uses an old Apple ID that doesn't exist anymore and to which I do not have access. Any ideas how to fix this? I just want to be able to sync my iPod with this computer without worrying about losing anything.

    Check out this article:
    iOS: How to transfer or sync content to your computer
    Read the "iTunes and App Store Content" section, especially the "Transferring purchased content" link there.
