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.

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.

How do I move apps from iphone5 to new iPad retina?

HOw to transfer apps from iphone5 to new iPad retina?

One way is to sync the iPhone using iTunes on your computer. Then assuming your iPad is using the same Apple ID as your iPhone, sync your iPad using the same iTunes. Make sure you have the apps sync set up correctly in iTunes for your iPad. While the iPad is plugged in to iTunes, go to the Apps tab and check the instructions.

HT201272 i can't see my purchased apps in itunes on new ipad when I go into the itunes store. It shows nothing. I haven't changed my ID or country of purchase. It shows that I would have to rebuy them when I go into the store.

i can't see my purchased apps in itunes on new ipad mini. when I go into the itunes store. It shows nothing. I haven't changed my ID or country of purchase. It shows that I would have to rebuy them when I go into the store. Is there something in settings on Itunes I need to change? I do not have cloud.

Yes I am looking in the app store. When I look in Itunes on my computer and look at purchased apps it is there. And when I go on my other device and look at apps purchased all apps are there.
The new ipad doesn't show any apps purchased when I click on apps purchased and when I search the app store it doesn't show it is purchased. I am wondering if I am just missing something...need to turn something on in options or something. Never had this problem with previous ipad when I set it up.

How can I get my sky sports app on to my new iPad and remove it from old ipad

How can I change my sky sports app from old iPad to new iPad

You can delete the app from your old iPad by tapping and holding on the app until it jiggles and displays an X. Then tap the X and confirm you want to delete the app.
If your new iPad is using the same Apple ID as your old iPad use the App Store app to download the app. As long as you are using the same Apple ID there will no charge for apps that have a fee.

Can I use iPhone apps. On my new iPad without buying them again?

Can I use iPhone apps. On my new iPad without buying them again?

Yes you can (unless they are apps that require the iPhone's full phone capability - I have some apps on my iPad, iPhone, and iPod Touch
If they are designed just for the iPhone/iPod Touch then they will just take up that sized portion of the screen. There will be a '2x' button on the screen, but that effectively just doubles the size of each pixel in both directions, so it may then appear pixelated.

Restore your new iPad from your most recent backup of your iPad2 in iTunes when you set it up, and then set up your wife's iPad2 as new device in iTunes by clicking on 'restore' on the main summary screen.
Alternatively, you can just go to 'Settings>Reset>Erase all Contents and Settings'.

App stuck waiting

Tried downloading an app and it is stuck on waiting. When I hold to delete, there is no "x" above the icon. Tried to sync with desktop and no luck. Also tried to delete from desktop, but because it's not downloaded yet it does not show up.

Did you try to download the app in iTunes on the desktop and then sync the iPad?
Sometimes - if you have a pending download - say in iTunes perhaps - and it didn't complete - that can cause the backup with the waiting apps.
Sometimes restarting the iPad can help get the app to download as well.
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.

SETTINGS app has disappeared from new iPad

My son gave me his old iPad and in trying to move my apps from my v.5.1.1. to the new iPad (v. 8?) All the apps he had put on it including SETTINGS disappeared!!
I am lost!
I think if I could figure out a way to add the second iPad to " devices" in iTunes, I could maybe restore SETTINGS from there??
any ideas PLEASE.
Thanks
Glen

It's not possible to delete it. Try resetting the home page layout. It has to have been moved to another page or a folder... oh, wait. you can't reset the home page layout without getting to it.
Go to the search page (press the home button once when on the first screen or swipe right from the home screen and type settings. Provided you have not turned off application search results in spotlight settings, you should be able to get to it from there.

HT201272 Why aren't my previously purchased apps showing up in the purchased tab of the app store on my new ipad? I used the same ID as my old ipad.

I sold my original ipad and bought an ipad 2. I wasn't worried about losing all of the apps I had previously purchased/downloaded, because I knew that the app store has a "purchased" tab, from which you can download previously downloaded apps. I set up my new ipad 2 with the same app store ID. I went to the purchased tab, the loading circle went on for awhile then went away, but no apps showed up. What's the problem?
I would be really upset if I lost all of the apps I previously paid for or downloaded (probably about 80 or so), seeing as how the app store is supposed to remember my purchase/download history based upon the user ID.

Go to "Settings > iTunes and App Stores", touch the AppleID, sign out, and then sign in with your revised AppleID.

Cannot find FaceTime App on iPhone 5/New iPad

Found out that I did not have FaceTime app on my iPhone 5 or new iPad.
Have started reading articles about it.
Need to go thru settings=> general => restrictions and
set safari, camera, facetime . all to be "on".
and go thru settings => FaceTime and turn it on and also give correct
e-mail addesses.
My iPad will put the FaceTime back to the screen.. no sweat.
Still did not see it on my iPhone.. Okay, read more articles.
have tried settings=> general=> reset => "erase all content and settings"
to reset everything..
still no FaceTime App showing on my iPhone. went thru all steps I did for iPad
and still do not see the app on my iphone.. Help?
Now, I think of it, I cannot get a FaceTime on my iPhone, right?
Once, I make a phone call, the facetime is an option to do, right?
if so, how can I find others using their e-mai? thanks for the tip.

There is no facetime app./icon, never has been.
The manual shows how to use facetime.
Tap contacts, tap the contact you want to facetime, scroll down to the facetime button.

How to transfer selected apps and movies to new iPad?

I just received my iPad 3, and I would like to transfer some, but not all, of my apps and videos from my iPad 1.
I'm pretty confused as to the meaning of the Apps tab in iTunes. There is a list of apps to the left. Is this a list of all the apps that are "stored" in iTunes, whether or not they are on my iPad (or iPhone)? As far as I can tell, all those that are checked are also on my iPad. But there are some that are unchecked that are on my iPad.
Then there are "screenshots" of the pages of an iPad to the right. Generally, the layout of the apps on these screens match those on my iPad, but there is one app on the screenshot that's not on my iPad.
If I were to plug my new iPad in now and restore from this backup, what apps would move to the new iPad? How can I control those? Basically I would like to delete a lot of unsued apps from my iPad without losing them forever.
Same kinds of questions with videos.

The apps that have checkmarks next to the names are the apps that are selected to sync.
Those screenshots that you see are all of the home screens on the iPad and why you see an app on the screenshot that is not on the iPad does not make sense. If you see it on one of those screenshots - it should be on the iPad.
Anyway - simply select all of the items that you want to sync to the new iPad. Click on the boxes next to the names to select them. Deselect apps the same way - click on the boxes to remove the checkmarks.
You can pick and choose all of the content in each tab in iTunes - apps, music, photos. books - whatever - you can control what it syncs by selecting and selecting. Videos included. All of these apps that have checkmarks next the boxes will sync to my iPad.
This is how you select the movies that you want to sync.
All of the content that is checked in iTunes is what would sync - but that is not what would be restored from the backup. The backup contains all of your app data and app settings, the device settings, safari history and bookmarks, contacts, calendar entries, camera roll - and so on. The backup does not contain your media - you still have to sync that from iTunes.

Show hidden apps in app store on my new iPad

Hi everyone. I'm new to apple products and bought the new iPad last week. I hid two of my apps when I was in the "purchased" tab in the app store on my iPad by mistake. I also clicked through the message that came up too quickly, not having realised what I'd done. Can anyone show me how to show my now hidden apps. I've tried to figure out what the instructions in the support pages say, but I can't find any of the menus that are referred to in the support articles. Appreciate it if you can make it as simple as possible as I am still getting the hang of this.
Cheers and thx in advance!

Was it this page that you looked at : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4919 ?
If so, then scroll to the bottom of, for example, the Featured tab in the App Store app, tap on your Id and select View Apple Id, type in your password, and then select the Hidden Purchases line - you should then get a acreen showing your hidden purchases which you can unhide
