Apps "Waiting"

I can't sign into the App Store. I tried updating two of my apps, then this happened. So now I can't access my apps either. They're grayed out and it says "waiting". How do I fix this?

Have you tried to conduct a hard reset? RESET DEVICE
Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the home button together until the apple logo appears (ignore the ON/OFF slider) then let both buttons go and wait for device to restart (no data will be lost).

I have 3 apps waiting to be accepted. I don't want them. How do I delete them?

Where are these apps from? Are they from App Store?
What are these apps? Or are they updates to existing apps?
It would help if you filled out your profile to say what machine and OS/IOS system you are using

You need to delete and redownload them to do that. This may require repurchasing paid ones.

Deleting apps waiting

how can i delete apps waiting to download but there's not enough room

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.
- Delete other media from the iPod so you have enough storage
- Download on computer and sync since that requires les storage space.
- Maybe:

- Restore from backup. See:

- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

HT4623 When attempting to update apps on my iPad, it gets as far as "waiting" or "installing" and no further...SO frustrating. I now have 13 Apps waiting....

When trying to update apps, it says "waiting" or "installing " but gets no further. Some have been like this since January!! What must I do ??

This is my boilerplate response that I have posted many times on this forum. See if any of these suggestions work for you.
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.
7. If all else fails, download the updates or the apps in iTunes on your computer and then sync the content to your iPad.

- Does your iTunes purchase history show that you purchased the app?
- Is the app compatible with your iPod model and iOS?
- Does it happen with one app or all apps?
- Have you tried download the app on your compute and syncing?
- Have you tried resetting your iPod:
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

App 'waiting' then disappears

For some reason, my app stpre has decided to not let me download or update apps anymore. Whenever I try to do so, the app goes straight to 'waiting' then disappears within a few seconds. There are no problems with my internet and I have tried literally everything. I do not have a credit card on file and I pay for apps via credit. Why is this happening? I need to fix this asap!

Apps waiting to download

I am having trouble updating apps on my ipdad....i have several that have said waiting for several days...i have turned off my device and turned back on...i have added more storage...i have ran my backup...and they are still " waiting" does anyone have any suggestions as to how to take care of this problem?

If there are multiple apps trying to download at once, only one can download at a time and the rest say "Waiting" until it is then their turn. Try this. Double tap the icon of the Waiting app, and it should resume the download.

Another thing to try - Turn the iPad Off & then back ON.
If that doesn't work:
• Log out of your iTunes store account. Go to Settings > Store > Sign Out Then press the Home button.
• Then press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously and don't release them when it brings up the Turn Off screen; keep holding them until the Apple logo appears.
• After restart, the Waiting should be gone.

App "waiting"

This happend after updating to OS 6. I was notified that some apps had updates, so always, I clicked to update the apps. But, they have been stuck on "waiting" for over 24 hours now.
I have shut down the iPad, restarted and reset. The only thing I haven't done is a restore. Wish I didn't have to. I can't delete the apps or open them.
What can I do?

Try these suggestions in the order in which I have typed them.
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.

Hi Celticcat,

It sounds like the apps did not finish downloading.
