Apps will not complete install/download

Recently, the little blue progress bar (like for the intial install or update) appeared in the icon for a Chess app that had been downloaded for many months. But I did not receive an update notice and had not accepted an update for that app. The progress bar would not go away, and the app could not be accessed. The bar would remain blank with the word Waiting for some time, then suddenly it would change to Installing and the blue bar would quickly go about half way across the icon, then it would go back to blank and say Waiting again, then after about 2 minutes a screen pop would come up saying the app was unable to download (cancel or retry). I tried this several times, but it will not download.
I deleted the app, went to the App Store and tried to re-install/download, but no success.
Now a Vanguard (Financial) app has done the same thing.
I powered my IPad 2 off, recycled my intenet connection, and looked for a software update on the IPad but it's up to date at this time.
I went to the App Store and tried to download a new app, and I specifically chose one that was not free (to check my login/billing), and it will not download the new app either. I was charged for the app, and received an email from ITunes confirming purchase and billing of the new app, but it has not installed on my machine.
The odd thing is the Vanguard app was also installed on the wife's IPhone 4 (under a different Apple ID, but her Apple ID is also on the IPad for email purposes), and it doesn't work on her IPhone either (we had to delete it there too).
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Dave

Try update using iTune (computer) and sync to iPad.

Pages app will not complete install and cannot be deleted.

Pages app has been trying to install an update for a week. It does not complete the install and cannot be deleted. I have tried logging in and out of the App Store to no avail. Does anyone know how to force a reinstall of an app, or at least delete it. It is an Apple Brand paid app with no &^%$% tech support.

I Do have the same problem. I will try to reinstall it from iTunes as soon as I will get to my computer

My iPad 2 will not complete the download of software upgrade 6.1.2?

Hi. My iPad 2 will not complete the download and install of the iso 6.1.2 software upgrade to fix the calendar exchange that is draining battery. It goes through the process and then just says there is an error but does not indicate the error. Any ideas gratefully accepted.
Also I don't know if it is connected but it also will not download new apps or iBook I purchased. Please assist if you can.

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.
- Power off the router and then power it back on
- Reset network settings: Settings>General>reset>Reset Network Settings. You will have to rejoin all networks

I am trying to install the latest update for HP Printers, it will not completely install ,now my printers won't work. Help!

I am trying to install the latest update for HP Printers, it will not completely install ,now my printers won't work. Help!

Hello Carolyn - Thank you for your quick response to my concerns, I had already gone to the HP support site and tried to get the latest HP drivers, the site said for Lion 10.7 there was NA version. So, I just used my time machine to replaced the OS from that time spot. I got my printers working again, so all right with the printer. But, the fact remains that I still keep getting the New Update HP Printer in the software update window. But, what happens if I try to download and install it is this: It starts the download, everything seems to come down fine, it starts write the files and then starts moving items into place, the blue bar fills to all most the end and slows down to a stop and never completes the installation. I have left my laptop on over night and it never finishes the operation. I can only force quit the software update. Which has knock out my printer drivers. Now, I just keep unchecking the box in the software updates for new HP printer software. Is anyone else having this problem or is it just my system? Sincerely: Professor G

Adobe Acrobat package built with CCP will not completely install

Adobe Acrobat package built with CCP will not completely install. It starts out fine as if it is installing then suddenly disappears with no errors.   I am installing it under the local administrator account and simply double clicking on the setup.exe created in the build folder. Am I missing something??

Hi rivera2u & TRU Software,
I believe you are just double clicking on the Exception Deployer and not running the same from the command prompt . Mentioned below is the syntax that we need to use while using Exception Deployer on your machine(s).
ExceptionDeployer
    --workflow=install
    --mode=pre|post
    --INSTALLDIR=<path_of_installation directory>
    --installLanguage=<locale_code for Acrobat>
    --abortOnFail
    --help
The same is mentioned in the link shared by Abhijit earlier.
Please do let us know if this works for you or not.
Cheers,
Kartikay Sharma

An app will not completely download from the App Store to my iPhone 5S. Neither can I terminate the download by trying to delete it. The app is useless to me and so I would like to remove the icon from my home screen. How can I do this?

I tried to download the app "Google Translate" from the App Store onto my iPhone 5s. However, the download will not complete. As well, when I try to delete the icon from my home screen, it will not go away. I am very frustrated as this has never happened before and I have gotten many paid and free apps from the App Store. I hope someone can solve my dilemma. Thank you kindly.

What have you tried to get the app to finish downloading e.g. have you tried logging out and back into your account on your phone, disconnecting and reconnecting to your network, soft-reset of your phone (press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds, ignore the red slider, after which the Apple logo should appear and it should reboot) ?
You could also try downloading the update on your computer's iTunes and see if you can sync it over to your phone (or delete the app its Apps tab when connected to your computer's iTunes and sync the new version - deleting the app will delete its contents).

I phone app will not finish installing update cannot use it cannot delete it

Iphone 4S automatically updates my apps. Open Table will not finish installing a new update. It will not let me delete the app (and there are no restrictions on in settings). I cannot open the app. I have no idea how to get it to finish the update. I have the latest IOS on my iPhone. Help! I love Open Table and want to be able to access it.

Hi Kurtsfan,
If you can't update from the phone itself, please try updating the app on your computer and sync it from there.
iTunes: How to resume interrupted iTunes Store downloads
If you can't complete the download on your iOS device, you can download it in iTunes on your Mac or PC and then sync it to your iOS device. You can also transfer purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer.

Any Software will Not Complete Install

Ha, I been trying to solve an issue with my G4 (two door mirror model). Any software from iLfe 6, Final Cut Express, MS Word or Final Cut Pro will not complete the installment. I keep getting errors that the installation could not complete please try again. I trouble shoot the CD drive making sure there is not an issue with it, and the hardrive too. I did a clean reinstall of Tiger No problem - SO I know the hardrive is fine. I played CDs music so no problem from CD drive. I use the same Software CDs to install on my Powerbook G4 and no problem, so I know there is nothing wrong with the CDs. Does anyone know or may think what can be cause my Desktop G4 from failing to install any programs other then the OS.
AT this point, I have a G4 sitting with just the OS and no application - and it driving me crazy I can't do anything with it.
Thanks for any help.

Dale, It is the retail version purchased day after it came out. Just a thought, when a PC has problems we can reset the bios back to factory state - can this been done to an apple system such as my G4? The reason why i'm installing back my software is because I had to reinstall the OS do to too many shareware apps I downloaded and could not trash for the life of me - many of the shareware apps was too buggy and could not get rid of them. So, I do not understand my I'm having this issue - OS can install but no other software will.

TS1702 Had to restore 3GS and most of my working paid apps will not re-install. How do I get the previous version until I can upgrade to new phone?

I did a back up restore and some the apps I have purchased will not re-install. How do i get them back on my 3GS OS4.2.1?

Music, video and some other stuff are not in your backup. They get synced to your iPod from your iTunes library as part of the update. It appears that the music were not in your iTunes library. You only get one download of music and it is up to your to back it up. However, Apple has been known to allow a redownload. You can contact the Itunes store and ask them. Go here and select iTunes Account and Billing and select the appropriate topic.

ITunes will not complete installing!

I have had probelms installing iTunes for apx 2 years. (when version 6 was released).
So I thought I would try to install version 7.
I installed QuickTime v7.1 with not problems, however when I try to execute the "iTunesSetup.exe" it seem to reach the end of the install process and then I get a message stating that "The older version of iTunes cannot be unistalled".
I have gone thru all of the posts on this discussion and tried every trick mentioned when the 1603 error has occurred with other people. Yet it still will not complete the installation process.
I found the "iTunesSetupxxx.log" and displayed it to see what is occurring and it still has the 1603 error as being the last error. I have included the last part of that log below:
fdintCOPY_FILE
file name in cabinet = QuickTime.msi
uncompressed file size = 24522752
fdintCLOSEFILEINFO
file name in cabinet = QuickTime.msi
fdintCOPY_FILE
file name in cabinet = AppleSoftwareUpdate.msi
uncompressed file size = 2078720
fdintCLOSEFILEINFO
file name in cabinet = AppleSoftwareUpdate.msi
fdintCOPY_FILE
file name in cabinet = iTunesSetupAdmin.exe
uncompressed file size = 108096
fdintCLOSEFILEINFO
file name in cabinet = iTunesSetupAdmin.exe
Executing: "C:\WINDOWS\system32\msiexec.exe" /i "C:\DOCUME~1\JOE~1.CHA\LOCALS~1\Temp\IXP508.TMP\iTunes.msi"
Returned: 1603
I have looked for the folder mentioned in the executing line and cannot locate it.
Anyone have any ideas that are outside of the normal posts listed in this forum?
I have deleted everything that is remotely related to iTunes, iPod, QuickTime, and even Apple from the registry after backing the registry up of course.
Yet I have not found a way to get around that 1603 error.
Help!

I have investigated a little further on my initial point where I could no longer run iTunes. The last functioning version that I had installed was version 4.8. When I tried to upgrade to version 5, it gave me an error that some of the install files were corrupted and then it froze up. The only way it could be ended was by using task manager. From that point on I have had nothing but trouble. I tried to reinstall version 4.8 but I got an error on that as well. So ever since this occurred I have been trying the newest version just to see if it would accomplish the task of creating a functioning version of iTunes. Each time it will reach a certain point and give an error message about the older version could not be removed.
So that is my history on this issue.
Anyone out there have any ideas as to what I can do to at least get a version that will work installed?
Even it is the same steps that have been given before, at least I will know someone is actually listening to me and not igoring me like the apple support does.
TIA!

IOS 8.1.1 will not complete install on iPad 2....

Doing via USB connection to iMac it goes through all the verification and installation processes but will not complete and keeps returning to message stating update 8.1.1 is available and do I want to intsall it. It has repeated itself 4 times now.
iMac is on 10.10.1 and iTunes latest version.
Any help appreciated.

Thanks for the help, Demo
I did all that you said except rebooting the Mac (I wanted to first discover where the issue was happening) and that solved it.
On USB reconnecting the iPad to the Mac, iTunes launched and reported that it was running iOS 8.1.1. Therefore all that was needed was to reboot the iPad after the installation process. However, Apple's installation process did not instruct that and so I feel it is at fault - It should message the updated status of the iOS rather than leave the user in a loop as it did with me.

not sure, how do i find out?

If there are problems with updating or with the permissions then best is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
Download a new copy of the Firefox application and save the disk image file to the desktop
*Firefox 24.0: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
*Trash the current Firefox application (open the Applications folder in the Finder and drag the Firefox application to the Trash) to do a clean (re-)install
*Install the new version that you have downloaded
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Installing+Firefox+on+Mac
Your personal data is stored elsewhere in the Firefox profile folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data when you uninstall and (re)install Firefox.

App will not Load/Install and have tried multiple steps.

To Whom it May Concern,
Several weeks ago I attempted to download Infinity Blade II for the iPad (I have the most recent full-size one, the "3"). As it began to download iTunes on my iPad crashed. When I went back to the App Store to re-download, the app is marked as INSTALLING and the icon on the iPad is marked as waiting.
I have turned the iPad off, waited a few minutes, and turned it back on. The icon remains.
I attemped to delete the icon, but when I get all the apps to "shake", no "X" appears on the waiting app for me to delete it.
I have signed out of iTunes on both my iPad and my MacBook Pro, signed back in, and still the download will not start.
The only life I can get in the app actually loading is when I actually re-purchased the App from my laptop, then tried to add it to my laptop. It "adds" it and the icon does Load, but about 90% in, the icon reverts to Installing, the status bar freezes...then the status bar blanks out completely and it remains in an Installing...state. All I can do is go to iTunes on my laptop, "remove" the app (which keeps the app in a pending state), then try to add it again where it gets 90% done but never completes.
I have also tried a different wireless network, reset my router, and reset the factory settings on my iPad. Any other suggestions would be appreciated!
Sincerely,
Travis Buonocore

I Do have the same problem. I will try to reinstall it from iTunes as soon as I will get to my computer

Lion 10.7.5 Recovery install loops and will not complete install.

Hi on my Mid 2009 Macbook Pro with 8GB Ram it seems that a virus got into the system and was causing Safari to crash then affected iTunes, MS Word 2008, and others to malfunction.
Steps taken:
1. Started in recovery mode on Recovery Partiion selected and recovered from TimeMachine backup
2. On start up checked Software update and said All Up to Date.
3. Safari still quiting unexpectedly.
4. Started in recovery mode on Recovery Partiion selected and Installed new OS X Lion from recovery. This would not complete after 2 attempts was starting to loop. It will show the blue bar that it has 2 hrs 22 min, 1 hr 11 min, 34 min 32 ...etc then after 2 min it will then say -1,384,587,231 hours to complete, then go back to about 34 min. the blue bar is filled 100% at this point. Then it will do it all over and over again.
I restarted and things appeared to be working okay. I left the computer on with one web page and a Word file open while I did work on another computer. It started a new Time Machine backup and seemed to be doing fine. Then I heard it restart itself! I checked to see what would happen. It showed the grey progress bar below the apple logo like it is starting in Safe Mode, then the progress bar disappeared before completing and it just shows the spining icon for over an hour? It appeared to be screwed. I shut the computer off and same result to restart.
5. Started in recovery mode on Recovery Disk usb drive selected and erased Hard Drive to Mac OS (Extened Journaled).
Tested OK after erase.
6. Ran Recover Lion again, and again and again same result.
7. Left running overnight, and still running the loop and not completing.
8. Reset SMC
9. Reset PRAM
10. Erased hard drive again formated Mac OS (Extened Journaled)
11. Started in recovery mode on Recovery Disk usb drive Installed new OS X Lion from recovery - Same result loops and Never completes
12. downloaded RecoveryDiskAssistant.dmg and created a new Lion Recovery usb
13. Erased hard drive again formated Mac OS (Extened Journaled)
14. Started in recovery mode on Recovery Disk new usb drive Installed new OS X Lion from recovery - Same result loops and Never completes
That is where I am at at this point. The drive is new (within 2 months or so since installed) and it reformats okay and seems to test okay in Disk Utiliy
I had also used the Terminal to run diskutil eraseDisk HFS+ MacHD "/Volumes/disk0"
This did erase the disk and had tried Lion recovery install again and still fails. I would even try Mountain Lion, but have not upgraded to it yet. I think I need the computer working to purchase and install it.
I checked the TimeMachine back up disk on my iMac and disk utility says it needs repairs, when repairing it just goes and goes with no result and does not seem to be able to repair.
So at this point I would like to just get the laptop to install an operating system and work. Then I will see if there is a way to recover files on the time machine back up disk.
Any help would be very much appreciated.
Thanks,
Ben

I have even reinstalled Safari to no avail.
The only way to reinstall Safari on a Mac running Lion or Mountain Lion is to reinstall OS X using OS X Lion: About Lion Recovery
You mentioned that you have v10.7.5 installed but I see v10.8.1 in your profile ??
Exactly which OS X is installed ???
Troubleshooting suggestions may be based on that information.
