Apps will not install or update, after IOS6 upgrade

After upgrading to IOS6, whenever I try to install or update an App, it says "waiting..." underneath its icon and has a completely empty status bar. And never moves. I had 8 apps that have been stuck that way for hours - all trying to update when I did an "update all" from the app store the first time after upgrading.
So I tried powering off/on the phone. I tried resetting the phone (holding home and power button together). I deleted all the affected apps. And now I am attempting to reinstall just one. And it is stuck. Help?

The solution that worked for me was to identify the apps that were stuck updating, and then find them on my iPhone. (You can't search for them, you have to find their icon on your iPhone's desktop.) Then I deleted those apps. Then I went back to the App store, and they downloaded/updated like normal. I did the same thing for the same problem on my iPad, and that also worked.
Best of luck to everyone.

AppStore will not update / and after trashing the old app, will not install the updated one

I have authorized my new Macbook Pro using iTunes, but when I go to the App Store, it does not successfully update the earlier apps that I have installed. So I deleted 2 apps and tried to install them afresh from App Store, but it gives me the following error: "We could not complete your request. Please try again later. (100)" - The failed updates also gave me the same error message except the number in parenthesis was (13). I have had this problem for over a month, so this is clearly not a server down time kind of issue. Appreciate any assistance on this. Thanks.

HT3819 Help! App will not install.

Any suggestion on how to solve this problem? App will not install or update even though I have no problem in getting on the net or even checking apps on the App Store.
I don't know if I've inadvertently did something in Setting or when I synced with my PC. Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated.

Normally the cloud with an arrow pointing down means that you have previously downloaded the app
What is the size of the app?
Are you trying to download over WiFi or cellular?

IPad 2 Restore - Apps Will NOT Install

I have recently been having intermittent problems with my home button being unresponsive on my iPad 2. I decided I would try a restore to see if this would resolve the problem. The home button issue may be better (more time will tell) but whoa did this create an entire new set of challenges.
What I did:
1) Went into iTunes to update all apps afterwards performed multiple syncs and backups just to be safe.
2) After restore to factory settings was completed I attempted to restore iPad 2 to my latest backup from earlier in the morning.
3) Attempted restore multiple times each time an error message states: The app "x" was not installed on the iPad because the app could not be found
4) The 26 missing Apps appear in iTunes with a "Will Install" button. Pressing this button changes it to "Install". Attempted several additional syncs but apps would not appear on iPad. I also tried to restore with the iPad off, USB disconnected, holding down the home button, attaching the USB Factory Restore to no avail. All of the missing apps are current and available in iTunes such as: Amazon, Google, Facebook, LinkedIn, AroundMe, Yelp, Cards, BBC News, etc...you get it...common basic apps all gone missing.
5) Went into iTunes Store on the iPad 2. Searched in folder for Not on this iPad and Purchased. Several purchased apps were missing from the list but some were there. I tried to manually download the apps that were listed from the Cloud as well as manually enter the app name to re-download and install. All of my missing apps when searched had the Cloud download icon even if they didn't appear in the Not on this iPad or Purchased screens.
6) I am currently attempting to download all the missing apps from the Cloud and will try another sync.
7) What should have been a very short an easy restore has now gone on for over 5 hours as I try multiple syncs, restarts, restores...
Does anyone know what is happening and how to prevent it in the future?
All of my software is up to date. I am running OS X 10.8.4, iOS 6.1.3, all apps were updated on both device and iTunes library this morning prior to restore.
My iTunes settings for backups is set to iCloud automotic however I performed a backup to computer before attempting the initial restore.
Please help!
Thanks!!!

I have a similar issue. I recently purchased an iPad Mini, and I started off by backing it up from the apps I had on my iPhone. Now, I have a number of apps that never downloaded and that I don't want on the iPad. Some of these are apps that I don't need, while others are the iPhone versions of apps. There are something like 23 apps that I have no use for, but iTunes tries to install every time I connect. I've also tried clicking the 'Will Install' buttons. There's no way to delete these apps from the iPad without first installing them, as far as I can see, and there's no way to NOT install them, in iTunes.
It''s not just annoying, it's causing problems with installation of larger files and movies. Now, every time I sync to the computer, I get a warning that I'm over capacity by 580 MB, and larger apps will not install! Clicking Revert and a bunch of other things doesn't work, either. And I can't just delete some of the apps, because I or my wife use them on our phones!

Best Buy PC App will not install or repair.

Hey, sorry for this, but upon buying a PC game, the Best Buy PC app will not install. At first it went through the install wizard and all, but it wasnt installed anywhere on my computer. Then: After following the advice of a bestbuy online representitive, I searched my c drive and deleted all information and tried to re-install. Now instead of the "Install Now" option, there is the "repair". Upon selectring repair, it says "Source file not found .... verify that the file exists and you can access it". I've tried all night to get this up an runnning. I've contacted customer service 6 times and am either told they dont know what to do, or I am put on hold for 45 minutes. If anyone has any solution, it would be much appreciated. Thanks again for your time.

Eduardo Alejandro Lazo what specific error do you receive when trying to apply the update?
I would also recommend checking the installation logs for the updates you are attempting to apply for errors. You can find details on how to locate and interpret the installation log files at Troubleshoot with install logs | CS5, CS5.5, CS6 - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/troubleshoot-install-logs-cs5-cs5.html. You are welcome to post any specific errors you discover to this discussion.

Since installing IOS.6 some of my apps will not install.

Since installing IOS.6 some of my apps have been sitting waiting or installing for over 24 hours they will not install. What is the solution please.

Have you solved this problem, if so how? My Ipad2 is still refusing to download or update any Apps since I downloaded Ios6.

IBook app will not install on iPad 1.

I just reset my iPad 1 on the recommendation of a Genius. Now the iBook app will not reinstall becase the OS version is not up to date. I have the latest available for the iPad 1. Is the a solution to this problem or are my purchases no longer available on my iPad?

Go to the App Store and find iBooks and download it should say not compatible with this OS and it give you a choice to download the newest iBooks supported for that iOS. If you dont get that option yourout of luck. You can also find it you have purchased the app but not updated it.
