Apps frozen on springboard

I downloaded 2 apps from the app store earlier and they wont continue to load/install. One is stuck at 70% and the other is stuck at 65%. I cant delete them or anything. What do i do to fix this?

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Download the apps on yur computer and sync them to the iPod
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:                                 
iOS: How to back up           
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

    Why has my iBook app frozen? I was perusing a list of authors and got stuck on Jane Austin.  I can't get back to the home page and my book shelf.  Pleas help!

    You don't have much choice, do you? You're either going to have to restore the software or take it to the Genius Bar to see about getting that button fixed.

  • 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.

    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.

  • Why has my iTunes app frozen? The screen has been unresponsive for several days now.

    Why has my iTunes app frozen?
    To begin with I thought it was restrictions on the country I was visiting but since retraining home it has not recovered.
    The app opens and the screen is animated, but there is no response to my touch on any part of the screen.

    This forum is for questions from those managing sites on iTunes U, Apple's service for colleges and universities to post educational material in the iTunes Store. You'll be most likely to get help with this issue if you ask in the iPad forum.

  • IPad 2, mail app frozen after g3 cellular connected. Receiving mail, but all screen function frozen. ???

    Ipad 2, mail app frozen after connecting via g3 cellular. Incoming messages are received, but all app functions are frozen. Any ideas anyone?
    rural location, have only Internet connection for answers, since email frozen. Thanks any help.

    Thanks Diavonex, but that's what I tried to discribe that I'd already done. I didn't realise it was called the "task bar".
    I've done both the things you suggested again, but Mail is still locked into this "white" screen when it is relaunched, and after 10 seconds it crashes back to the app menu page. I seems to be running in the background as it knows new emails are waiting to be read, but you can't get into Mail any more to view anything.
    Not sure whether to delete all Mail accounts in Settings and start again, but that seems extreme.
    Any other suggestions ?

  • IPad app frozen on "waiting"

    How do you resolve an iPad (2) App frozen on "waiting?" It's an app I used regularly and can still access through App store. It was recently updated. I have read some posts online and have already tried rebooting the iPad, logging off/in iTunes, and double clicking icon. My main concern is that it's draining the battery.

    Hello elsiehow,
    You may need to force close all open apps, then reset your iPad.

  • 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.

  • Apps frozen in mid-update

    Hi Guys,
    Does anyone know how to deal with an iPhone app that has frozen in mid-update without deleting it and re-installing it?  I don't want to loose the saved data in it but it just won't play ball...
    Thanks.

    Thanks for that idea. I tried it but unfortunately it didn't work. The app is Infinity Blade 2; I gather there are a lot of problems with the updates but I can't find the answer to this one so far...  I've just realised that I've not said that I'm on iOS5 as well (not sure if that makes a difference).

  • APPs frozen

    Pages App is frozen after updates, how can I repair this?

    Try resetting your iPhone by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.
    Try downloading any free app from your iPhone.
    Try logging out and back in to your iTunes account from your iPhone.

  • Messages App Frozen/Exiting Early. How can I reset it?

    When I tap the messages icon, a gray screen loads for about 5 seconds and then the program exits out to the home screen.  I still receive text notifications but I can't read incoming text.  Or if I slide the banner to read the content of the message, I am taken to the message and it is frozen and exits within 5 seconds.  Is there anyway to reset the message app to get it working again?
    I have shut off and restarted the phone using the lock screen key.
    I have reset the phone using the lock screen key plus home key.
    I have tried closing the app by holding the home key for longer than 2 seconds, waited for the message icon to wiggle and exit it.
    The app still appears to be frozen.

    This same question has been posed across several threads today- did you see a message for Microsoft Software for $10?  Is your experience similiar to the one detailed in "Can't access messaging inbox whatsoever after suspicious text message I didn't even open."?

  • Camera app frozen

    My camera app decided to start freezing up today. I've tried force quitting the app, resetting the phone, and restoring the phone and the problem persists. When I open the app it looks like it's opened like normal but the picture is black and it won't allow me to do anything within the app. This issue carries over to any app that uses the camera. Snapchat is frozen, genius scan is frozen, and facetime is frozen. It doesn't seem to be a hardware issue as the camera app will sporadically work and i see a clear image from the camera. What could be causing this issue and how can it be fixed??

    Restore as new, if the issue persists, take the device to Apple.

  • I've got an app frozen on the application page

    I purchased an app, but it didn't disappear after I bought it and I can't get it to clear the app store page.  It's frozen on there.  Help?

    Reset time, press and hold both the home and power buttons for 10-15 seconds till the Apple logo appears. Release both buttons. Wait 15-20 seconds till your iPad starts on it's own.

  • 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.
