Apps stuck "waiting" after update - no solutions working

I have three apps that have been stuck "waiting" since my iPad crashed when they started installing (I think it was a full storage issue, which I have since resolved). I have tried all the solutions I have seen everywhere... fully rebooting the iPad, checking that there are no other pending downloads in the App Store or iTunes (in fact other updates have downloaded fine since), logging out of my Apple account, and even deleting the apps by going to Settings>General>Usage. After I deleted the apps, they stopped showing up in my list of apps in Settings>General>Usage>All Apps, but they still appear on my home screen and in the App Store as "waiting." I can't delete them from the home screen, because they stay grayed out and don't get an "x" on them when I make all the app icons wiggle. Any suggestions?

I think that may be part of the problem right there.  Rather than deleting an app through Settings, delete it by holding it until it wiggles and then tap the X to nuke it.  But now that you've deleted it the other way, this no longer works.
I'd suggest adding the apps back to your device, either through syncing or re-download, then delete them as I described above if they are still stuck in an update download, and then re-download them again.

    Hi therealmatty,
    To resume the download, I would suggest you sign out of your iTunes account, restart the iPhone and sign back in.

  • Apps stuck in waiting after updating on iOS 7.0.2

    Since i updated my iPad 2 to iOS 7.0.2 i have this persistent problem, I tried everything to make it normal but it never happens.
    After i update an App on my iPad throught the AppStore on the iPad this problem occurs.
    1. Eventhough the update is complete the app gets stuck in "waiting... " state
    2. However the App opens through the AppStore on the iPad
    Above are few of the apps stuck in waiting and they have a Open button adjacent to them.
    Notice that iBooks is on waiting... however i can open it through the app store.
    and use it normally.
    Only solution which works as of now is to delete the apps from settings on the iPad and install them again from the Appstore, but then i'd loose all the data i previously have.
    I have no Idea why this is happening. I cannot open the stuck apps directly by taping them i have to go through the AppStore. Please help.
    PS: You cannot uninstall app by long tapping it because the X mark does not appear on the app.

    Try a reset ...
    Reset the device:
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings

  • Hi I am having problems downloading and updating apps on my iPad and iPhone. The message cycles between waiting and loading then I get an error message saying unable to download app. Eventually,after many attempts it works.

    Hi Guys - for a few days I have been having problems downloading and updating apps on my iPad and iPhone. The message cycles between waiting and downloading then eventually says unable to download app. Sometimes after many attempts it wil eventually work. I tested it on an old iPhone 3G and got the same problem so it is not an iOS 5 issue. My WI-FI connection is working fine. I was wondering if this is an App Store problem? Anyone else in the UK having this problem?

    Hi John
    iTunes Support wasn't of any use to me.
    I have also been having another problem - with BBC iPlayer and other video streaming not working due to insufficient bandwidth, despite my overall download speed being consistently around 50Gb.  This is also affecting AppleTV downloads
    I am using Virgin Media as my ISP, and was wondering whether you do as well.  This might be the common thread.

  • Oracle.apps.ar.hz.Location.update event still working

    Dear All,
    I facing a problem, a even was disabled few months back, but still the even sending work flow mails. i have followed this below metalink document
    Oracle.Apps.Ar.Hz.Location.Update / Oracle.Apps.Ar.Hz.Location.UpdateXXXXXX [ID 352888.1]
    As per the Document, i have disabled the event,, now again the same wf mail coming, what might be the reason,, how to stop this WF
    Regards

    Not yet,
    i found another Metalink note *Can the event 'oracle.apps.ar.hz.Location.update' be disabled? [ID 315800.1]*.
    According to this note, i have disabled this following two subscriptions
    WSH_MAP_LOCATION_REGION_PKG.Rule_Location
    hz_crmhk_pkg.update_location_prenow waiting for the Client mail, if the wf is not triggred then no problem otherwise i have log an SR as u said.
    more over i have a doubt in that above mentioned metalink note, can u explain me what is TCA information
    These functions would not get executed via workflow but the application that uses these will have a way to handle this in the application. Please check with those groups on what >to run in those applications to handle the workflow functions.
    It is fine to disable the event or if you do not want to run any of the TCA workflow events then just set the HZ: Execute API Callouts profile option to NO and workflow events will >not be used for when updating TCA information.Regards

  • Apps stuck waiting on new iPad

    I updated to the iPad air and while trying to reload my apps, many are stuck "waiting." 
    I've rebooted (hard press power button), turned off & back on, double-tapped apps, long-tapped apps, etc...
    No avail.
    Help!

    Hi there servant5866,
    You may want to try force closing all open apps and resetting the device as an initial troubleshooting step. Take a look at the articles below for more information.

  • Safari, App Store Issues after updating to 10.7.2

    I have been running my imac that came preinstalled with Lion
    I am having this wierd issue after updating to 10.7.2 recently
    When i run Safari, App Store, Itunes, i can see its loading..
    but after 2 hours its still loading.
    It just seems to be stuck and its not the Beach ball.. So i dont think it hanged
    Its not a network issue as well, since i am typing this on Firefox, which is running perfectly
    What could be the reason?

    I'm having the same issue on my iMac. I've also noticed the rear of the left side is getting a lot hotter than normal.
    I downloaded (from: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1459) the update again and reinstalled it. But nothing's changed. Is there anything else I can try?

  • Apps crash constantly after update

    I have an iPhone 4 and have a problem with a few apps which run fine until the app is updated then they constantly crash on startup. I have looked through the crash logs and the constant theme is exc_bad_access. This is very frustrating!!!
    Why does it happen after an update and with apps that I use a lot??
    Any advice will be appreciated!
    I also have an iPod touch 3 and iPad 3 both running the latest iOS and do not have this problem so it is obviously the phone.

    I have the exact same problem, and with the same 2 apps Simpsons Tapped Out and Candy Crush.  Both happeded after updates to the apps.  I tried everything to fix it, reinstall app, hard resets, etc. and nothing worked. I even contacted Simpson's App suport and they said to contact Apple support about it that they did not see a problem on their end.  Very annoying since it seem to happen only on the apps I used the most.  Hasn't happened to any apps that are rarely used.
