Can Apple technical guys help me removing the "waiting" app icon?

My IPhone4's system is ios4.1.
My scenario (WIFI enabled):
1. open app store and select an app to install.
2. the wifi disconnected, so I open my computer to download this same app from itunes
3. connect IPhone to computer and sync, successed
4. open my IPhone, the app icon still displayed "waiting..."
After searching the solutions on google, got that most of the users will remove such icon by hard shut down IPhone and power on again.
But for me, this solution does not work. And everytime I open app store on the IPhone, this app will be displayed "INSTALLED" already.
How can I remove this stupid icon? Can I delete some files on IPhone directly to remove this icon?
Any suggestion is appreciate, thanks!

If you know what this app is this is what has worked for me:
Uninstall the app and Sync your phone. Then add the app back again.
For example: This happened when I downloaded Scrabble. So I unchecked Scrabble and synced my phone. Then I checked it again and synced again. Once I did that the Waiting box disappeared.
This seems to be happening every time I try to download an app directly to my phone now, though. Even if the Wi-Fi connection is good. It's getting frustrating.

  • Can Apple not force people to use the podcast app if they dont want to?!

    Can Apple please NOT force people to use the podcast app if they dont want to?
    It is a horrific app.
    It uses data to play the podcasts which, once downloaded should not reqiure wifi to play!
    Fix it, otherwise stop forcing us to use it and allow us a choice!

    They do. There's lots of podcasting apps in the store, and you can erase the podcasts app and go back to the old way of playing them with the music app. Biggest downside is that you can't download podcasts on the phone without the podcasts app, so either do it on your computer or download the app, get the podcasts and erase the app. There's a few topics on here on how to do this. Search is your friend.

  • How do i delete or remove the Tips app and the health app that apple added to my phone on the last update 8.0.2?

    How do i remove the Tips app and the Health app that apple added to my iphone on the last update? Update 8.0.2? I didn't want these added to my phone. I have to remove apps every time there is an update. After the phone is updated I reinstall the apps I removed. After 8.0,2 there was not enough room for me to reinstall my apps because they added the Tips app and the health app. How do I remove them? When you hold your figure on the apps they added, X's pop up on all of the apps i've installed, but not on the ones that come on the iPhone and the ones that they added on this last update. Please help.

    They force you to buy health insurance these days and now apple forces you to keep spyware apps on your phone.
    Oh, knock off the fearmongering. None of those apps are spyware. Health stores all of its data on the phone. It will only back it up to your computer if you do an encrypted back up. The only data it collects on its own are steps, stairs and distance traveled. Anything else in it is information you've explicity authorized it to collect from anothr app you've installed. You're not required to put anything in Passbook, Podcasts, iBooks or Newstand.

  • I want to triple boot Have Snow Leopard and XP on separate drives and I want Windows 7 on another drive, can it be done by temporarily removing the xp drive and installing windows 7 on another internal drive?

    I want to triple boot my Mac Pro I have Snow Leopard and XP on separate drives (osx on drive 1, xp on drive 2) and I want Windows 7 on another drive (drive 4, drive 3 is used by osx for storage), can it be done by temporarily removing the xp drive and installing windows 7 on drive 4?
    I realise bootcamp only allows 2 operating systems and refit could change the size of my current xp drive to accomodate W7, that is not an option here for various reasons one being the drive is pretty much at capacity with only about 30gig free (I work with video so that free space fluctautes quite a bit). I have a brand new drive 4 with 1TB set aside ready for W7 but I'm unsure how to go ahead?
    any help or advice would be really appreciated, thanks

    Boot Camp is used to support Windows on the same drive.
    You can have a different OS on every drive.
    You could have Windows 7, Vista, and XP all on one drive if you so choose.
    I recommend not putting Windows and OS X on the same dirve when talking about Mac Pro - unless you just need something small and lite.
    Remove all your other drives while you install Windows 7.
    You could even relocate XP - if you need it even - or recover the hard drive space.
    You should always keep 30% free for Mac OS; same for data/media drives.
    Considering 1.5TB WD Black $110.... and you want OS X to be on a fast high performance drive as well.

  • Can I remove the compass app?

    The golfing powers that be have determined we can no longer use our Golf GPS apps in competition because Apple have a pre-installed compass on the phone. Hopefully if the golfers generate enough fuss about this then Apple will release a software update that allows its removal. Its not rocket science Apple... but it is already causing a major talking point.

    Removing the compass app would not stop the compass working in Golf GPS apps. The compass is a hardware feature with software to view its output. The phone needs to know which way it is pointing to provide an accurate GPS view.

    can i remove the an app once placed in newstand?

    Tap and hold the app until all apps begin to wiggle. you should see an X in teh upper left corner of the app. Tap that.
    If you appear to be unable to delete any apps, it may be that restrictions have been set on the iPad preventing app deletion. Open the Settings app > General > Restrictions to check that.
