Apps Install Update Frozen

No device
Help!?  Last night I noticed that one of my apps had an update available.  So I tapped it for the upgrade and suddenly my phone starts downloading and installing not just the update for the app I had opened, but for 6 apps!  There was no way to stop this!
Now all these apps say they are "installing" - since last night.  There are no error messages.  The drop down menu gives me options of "pause all downloads" or "delete paused downloads" but neither of these options work.  Everything appears to be frozen.
How do I stop this?  How can I reset things?  I have even tried to delete apps to stop it, but it will not even let me delete them.  This is very frustrating.  And of course, I cannot now synch my phone because the PocketMirror app is the app that started this mess.

Have you tried a restart on the device? If this does not work you can try a erase apps and data. Both options are under Device Info, Reset Options.

  • App store updates frozen

    My App store is frozen on 46 updates and won't load. This occured after I did a revert to factory status and re-installed apps. How do I unfreeze the option?

    Her are a bunch of things that you can try. I have posted this quite a few times and all of these suggestions have worked at one time or another.
    From what you describe, start with #2 - the reboot.
    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 - 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.
    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.

  • IPhone app store app install/update errors!

    Hi, I'm trying to update or install a few apps recently and I keep getting the error "Unable to Download Application" with the options DONE or RETRY. Done cancels the update/install download and retry repeats the error!? The username and password are correct, but this is happening a lot recently. Any ideas? Is this happening to anyone else? Is it an Apple services thing or is my new iPhone 4S not quite what I expected it to be?

    Just did a resotre and am having the same issues. IPad just keeps quitting out.

  • Macbook Pro 13" problems opening apps, installing updates and lag.

    Hey guys i got a Macook Pro 13" a few months ago and now I cant open itunes or limewire and a few other applications. They just bounce for 30 seconds and i get a message that it's unexpectedly quit and the options if i wana report it or not. I've done repair permissions made a new account and still no progress. I've inserted the cd it came with to do a hardware test and as its booting back up I hear a click sound and everything shuts off. Another thing to add is that there is alot of lag takes awhile for it to open up the finder files.
    Is this a RAM problem? I went to about this computer and it says the status is ok and iv taken out 1 of 2 of my rams twice too see if the problem still continued and it did. Or am I going to need a new hard drive?
    Iv also tried to do a software update but as im installing it i get the unexpected quit error again.
    please help

    The 1600MHz RAM "should" work on a system that has a 1333MHz bus, since it is only going to down-clock the RAM; however, the system was not tested with this configuration and there may be unexpected behaviors from it.
    If it's not specifically a compatibility issue with the speed ratings, it may be an issue with bad sectors in the RAM itself. To test this, load the Apple Hardware Test suite by booting your system with the "D" key held down (or Option-D to load the tools from the Internet). When the tools load, check the box for the extended memory test and run it. This will take several hours to complete, but will report any bad memory addresses it finds.
    If you find any bad addresses, then you should be able to return the RAM for a replacement since most manufacturers supply lifetime warranties for RAM modules.

  • Should air support non admin app install/update?

    Hi
    Should air application support non admin to install or auto update for the application?

    Thanks kglad.com. I will try this and see if it works. Can you check my code a bit to see if it's right?
    var continueFile:File = new File(File.applicationStorageDirectory.resolvePath("savedgames/continueGames.txt").nativePath.toString());
    Does this look right to work across all desktop OS?

  • App Store app is frozen, how do I install updates?

    My App Store app seems to be frozen, but only for installing updates. It show I have 3 updates, but when I click to execute, I can't even get to the screen to tell me what apps have updates pending. How do I shake the App Store to of this state? I can still use other parts of the App Store app, including downloading new apps.

    If the problems continue, restart iPad, first turn iPad off by pressing and holding the Sleep/Wake button until a red slider appears. Slide your finger across the slider and iPad will turn off after a few moments.
    Next, turn iPad on by pressing and holding the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
    Is iPad not responding? To reset iPad, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least 10 seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    If your device does not turn on or displays a red battery icon, try recharging next.

    I have 8 apps that, when I tried to update, are now stuck on "installing" in the box that says update. every time  I try to update another app, it gets frozen like this as well. I was able to quit all apps, but these, as they do not respond. Any ideas?

    Reset your iPad by holding the home and on/off buttons together for 6 or 7 seconds till the Apple logo appears.  Then update your apps one at a time.  Do not start the next app until the current one downloads and finishes installing.

  • I have attempted to update a few apps and the install has frozen on 'waiting' not allowing me to either access the app or delete it, any idea why this has happened and how do I get around it?

    See if either of these things works for you. In the future ... Only update one app at a time. Forget that the Update All button even exists. It causes more problems than it does good - IMO.
    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.

    I would suggest uninstalling the app, if it is app that you install, or buy. I also think that you should try getting a ipod touch trouble shooting book.

  • HT202436 Apple Configurator not installing updated app versions

    Hello all,
    I have noticed that when i complete a batch of Ipads using Apple Configurator that apps installed on ipads are marked to be updated.
    Before commencing using Configurator I have no apps which require updating in iTunes so I am wondering do i need to "purge" older versions of apps and import updated  versions.
    Configurator version 1.7.1
    Itunes version 12.1
    Mac OS 10.10.2
    (Imac 2.66 early 2009)
    thanks in advance,
    Jon

    Following advice - i have removed and reimported updated applications to Apple Configurator this worked without a hitch - i was able to import the latest versions of 10 applications but..
    Upon refreshing one device I was not able to install Garageband even though the codes and application previously loaded about 5 minutes before.  I then stopped the update because it had failed.  After a period of time process stops cleanly. Message in configurator is "insufficient license codes" to install the Garageband.
    Ok getting used to this game (not fun) but it fills in my day! Click on the application in Apple Configurator and import redemption codes (again).  After a period of time (long) the message "Finished importing Redemption codes" appears but does not disappear - ie complete.  Apple Configurator is now frozen.
    I Force Quit Apple Configurator, all changes (work) is lost and possible the configurator database is now corrupt.  I also now have the bonus of trying to fix another problem to fix.
    Whilst the advice above is good & i am not critical of those who replied and would like to thank them. I am nearing the end of the line now with Apple Configurator

  • My friend gave me ipod touch with all his accounts, i created new accounts but when i went on the appstore and tried to update apps installed by him,i was asked his account's password! i dont know his password.how can i use my account to update apps?

    my friend gave me ipod touch with all his accounts, i created new accounts but when i went on the appstore and tried to update apps installed by him,i was asked his account's password! i dont know his password.how can i use my account to update apps?

    You can't.  Apps and really all content purchased/downloaded through one Apple ID is forever tied to that Apple ID.  In the case of Apps they will always request that Apple ID to update as they are licensed to that Apple ID.
    In reality, the Apps were licensed to that Apple ID by the developer.  And cannot simply be given away to you for you to use.
    He should have wiped the iPod clean so you could set it up for your use without any of his accounts or purchased content as you are not really licensed to any of those Apps.
    Your friend should have followed this support document before giving the iPod to you:

  • How can I get my iPod touch to download and install updates to apps?

    I am having difficulties with getting updates for my apps to download and install.  When requested, I supply my password for my apple ID, and select "update".  It immediately jumps to the screen with my icon, and then gives me a status bar and says "waiting" for an unending amount of time.
    I have tried power cycling our wireless router and modem, power cycling the iPod, deleting the apps from all locations then syncing the iPod, and reinstalling the apps. 
    Nothing I try seems to get me out of this never ending cycle of inability to download and install updates.
    Any ideas?

    How are you accessing the mail on the laptop? If you are using a mail client, Outlook, etc, then the mail is being downloaded to the laptop.
    If you want to read them on the iPod, then in the account on the iPod, make sure that you turn off delete from server, then after looking at them on the iPod, delete the messages. You will then be able to pick them up on the laptop. Or, as Illaass said, read them with a web client.
