Apps gets stuck when downloading from iCloud, shows as "waiting" but never downloaded

When I download an app already purchase from iCloud it gets stuck as waiting. It only happens with apps downloaded from iCloud as new apps download well.

Hi there Tincho27,
It sounds like new apps are downloading without issue, but apps that are already on your account seem to never get done Waiting. I would start by deleting any apps you have that are currently stuck:
How to delete content you've downloaded from the iTunes Store, App Store, iBooks Store, or Mac App Store
Tap and hold the app you want to delete.
The apps will begin to jiggle.
Tap the X on the app.
Then sign out of the account in your Settings:
iOS: Sign in with a different Apple ID in the iTunes Store, App Store, and iBooks Store
Tap Settings > iTunes & App Stores.
Tap your Apple ID.
If you see the option to Sign In, you can change your Apple ID now.
 Tap Sign Out.
Then restart your iPhone and try downloading an purchased app again to test the issue:
Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

All the best,

  • HT4539 Why I can download from iCloud on 1 iPod but not the other. It says downloaded but doesn't show up in music...

    I can download from iCloud to one iPod but not the other.  It says downloaded but doesn't show up in music...

    I'm not sure what you mean by the "music library" - are you looking in the Music app?  Or the iTunes app (which is not the one to be looking in)?

  • Apps get stucked when i try to delete them?

    Whenever i try to delete an app by holding the icon and waiting for the apps to start jiggle then hit the X button, it does nothing but get stuck. After a while it gets back to normal and the app is still there. I know i can delete them by going in Settings - Usage and look for the app but that's not the point. I've never had this problem. It started when i updated my software to 5.0. It ****** me off cuz most of the games are still in Game Center can't get rid of them and whenever i redownload them it takes me back where i have left off. Any ideas?

  • The select function in Pages and other apps gets stuck and the cursor will not move. What do I do?

    The select function in Pages and other apps gets stuck when I touch a word and the cursor will not move. What is the answer for this problem?

    Try reset iPad
    Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
    Note: Data will not be affected.

  • Iphone 4s getting stuck when syncing...

    my iphone is getting stuck when trying to finish sync saying, "waiting for changes to be applied"
    anyone have this problem and how to fix?
    please.

    It's me again!
    I think I've located the problem (at least in my case). I use a ringtone program called iToner 2 and that is what's apparently causing a conflict and syncing issues with my iPhone. I installed my ringtones from iToner 2 and the sync issues re-occurred. After deleting my iToner 2 ringtones, I was able to sync again.
    My guess is that some application that you are using that works in some way with iTunes or your iPhone is what's causing the sync issues. I would suggest finding that particular application and not using it until it gets updated to work with iTunes 10.5 and iOS5.
    I hope this helps! Good Luck!

  • After migrating to a new MacBook Air from an older MacBook, iPhoto gets stuck on uploading cache, it just "spins" forever. I downloaded a new iPhoto app and replaced it but when opened it just does the same thing? What is going on?

    After migrating to a new MacBook Air from an older MacBook, iPhoto gets stuck on "uploading cache", it just "spins" forever. I downloaded a new iPhoto app and replaced it, but when opened it just does the same thing? What is going on? Where are my photos now? How can I upload photos from my camera without iPhoto?
    Is there a better app?
    Thanks, Chris

    Take the system to an Apple store to be fixed or replaced as the one you have has defective hardware.

  • I recently upgraded my 4s to a 5s. the verizon store took my old phone for a trade in. i cannot get any of my pictures to download from icloud. my photo stream folder only has a small percentage of the photos in it. any help would be greatly appreciated.

    That's possible if he didn't connect to a WiFi hotspot after taking them.  I don't think the "Personal" Photo Stream uploads over Cellular, unless they changed it since the last time I used it.
    If that's the case, then the photos likely didn't upload to Photo Stream and are stuck on the phone.
    And you're not going to be able to get them back, either.

  • Why the new firefox version 31.0 is getting stuck when something is downloaded.

    Why the new firefox version 31.0 is getting stuck when something is downloaded. After force restart also same issue (still the download status is showing the same and again getting stuck) for 4-5 times and then it asks for to clear all the data. After that it is working fine. Again If I download something facing the same issue. Its really irritating. I am using windows7.

    While you are in safe mode;
    Press the '''Alt''' or '''F10''' key to bring up the tool bar.
    Followed by;
    Windows; '''Tools > Options'''
    Linux; '''Edit > Preferences'''
    Mac; ''application name'' '''> Preferences'''
    Then '''Advanced > General.'''
    Look for and turn off '''Use Hardware Acceleration'''.
    Poke around safe web sites. Are there any problems?
    Then restart.

    Hey there Matt.dvs1,
    Although there is not a way to remove past purchases from your iTunes account completely, you can hide them so that you don't have to see them if you don't want to. This article will help you do that:
    iTunes Store: Hiding and unhiding purchases - Apple Support
    Hide your purchases
    Open iTunes on your Mac or PC.
    From the Store menu, choose Store > Sign In, and then enter your Apple ID and password.
    Go to the iTunes Store.
    Click Purchased from the Quick Links section on the right side of the iTunes Store.
    Choose a content type by clicking Music, Movies, TV Shows, Apps, or Books from the top of the window.
    A list of your purchased items for the content type you are viewing will appear. Mouse over the item you want to hide until an X appears its top-left corner.
    A confirmation dialog will appear once you click the X.

  • Hello, i purchased the movie Changeling and its shows in Itunes library but will not transfer to my Ipod. It has the Icloud icon showing in the top right hand corner and if i click on play it starts to download from Icloud again and it does this each time

    hello i purchased a movie recently and it shows in my Itunes library but will not transfer to my ipod. It has the Icloud icon in the top right hand corner of the cover and if i click on play it starts to download from Icloud again and it does this each time i wish to play it, the same now happens to all my purcased movies which of course uses additional ISP download allowance. Before the recent update and lay out of Itunes this didn't happen i just purchased a movie and downloaded it then synced it to my ipod and enjoyed it. But now this latest movie purchase will not download to my ipod. I have sent the problem to Itumes and if  there is answer i havent received it. Appreciate any advice
    regards john

    Hello hotsone,
    You may need to download a lower resolution version of the movie in order for it to sync to your iPod.

    My iphone gets stuck when doing the back up of the IOS 5. What should I do? Any ideas?

    I'm having the same issue on the 3Gs.  I get a message "an error occurred while backing up this phone (-43)."  It tells me if I continue the contents of the phone while be deleted.  Is it safe to continue and restore from my current backup?  I can do a manual backup without any issues.

    The process depends on who controls your email.  If you have (username)@mac.com, (username)@me.com or (username)@icloud.com you've come to the correct place.  For any other mail server, you need to contact their specific user support tools.

    You can enable Photo Stream (in Settings > iCloud) but only for 30 days and only a max of 1000 photos.
    Then what does this mean? It was copied from the kb article that I posted above.
    Reducing the size of your Camera Roll backup
    If you take lots of photos and videos with your iOS device, you may notice your Camera Roll takes up most of your iCloud Storage backup. To check the size of the Camera Roll backup on your device:
    On your Home Screen, tap Settings.
    Tap iCloud.
    Tap Storage & Backup.
    Tap Manage Storage.
    In the Backups section, tap your device.
    In the Backup Options section, the backup size is displayed under Camera Roll.
    To reduce the size of your Camera Roll backup, save your photos and videos locally to your computer with iTunes, and then manually back up your iOS device. If you want to keep your photos and videos on your iOS device, you can turn off Camera Roll in Backup (see the "Deleting backups and turning off Backup for your Device" section above) orpurchase additional storage.
