Downloading an app that keeps saying waiting?
I have an ipad mini and have tried updating minecraft. In the itunes store on my ipad it says installing but under the app it says waiting. I have tried everything I know and cannot get this to update. I am unable to play it as well. I tried deleting the app and cannot do that either. Can anyone help me? Its been like this for about a month now.
I have posted this many times and some of the suggestions have worked for others in the past. Skip anything that you've already tried. Maybe there is something in here that will help.
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. -
Hi I downladed minecraft of tongbu, and it asked for Apple ID, it crashed I think it is used to get Apple ID and use it on MY credit card please tell me what to do. I do not want to factory reset because I have a lot of gaming progress, tell me what should I do, I beg you.
Hello there wkertisrags,
It sounds like you are concerned about your Apple ID security. I would start by resetting your Apple ID password with this article:
Apple ID: Changing your password
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5624
You can also add some enhanced security with Two-Step Verification, and here is some more information on that:
Frequently asked questions about two-step verification for Apple ID
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5570
If you feel your account data or security has been compromised you may want to reach out to our Account Security team with this article:
Apple ID: Contacting Apple for help with Apple ID account security

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care,

HELP!!!!!! I'm trying to download a few game/apps on my iPad and it's just saying waiting and not budging????? Anyone know what this might be? Please help me!!!
Although having it loading 5 at a time is not ideal, the iPad is more than capable of doing it, it merely pauses those after the first requested. It will install one at a time then go to the next, installing one at a time rather than trying to do a group like this shouldn't yield any great benefit.
Also don't forget that some apps are hundreds of MB in size so depending on your internet connection will just take a lot longer to download than those which are only 1 or 2 MB in size.
I only have a 0.8MB broadband connection when it's at it's fastest so am used to checking the sizes of apps before downloading, it's very frustrating when you forget and hit download only to spend the next 30 mins or so watching a blue progress bar creep across te 10 mm of icon space!!
@shannon207 Seeing as you are no longer posting I can only assume you have sorted the issue.
If you are still having issues please post again and we can try and help further. -

Apps not being updated probably due to error of same id login in 2 devices . please help.
Please test after each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Stop when the problem is resolved. Back up all data before making any changes. Keep in mind that no one here represents Apple or can help with customer-service issues.
Step 1
A purchased app can only be updated by signing in to the App Store with the same Apple ID that was originally used to buy it. There's no way around that limitation, which also applies to free apps. If you can't sign in with the buyer's ID, delete the app and reinstall it. You'll have to pay for it again, if applicable.
Step 2
If you get the alert when trying to update a bundled iLife app, select the Purchases page in the App Store and locate the app in your purchase history. If there's a button marked ACCEPT on the right, click it.
If you have a used Mac, the bundled apps were linked to the original owner's Apple ID and can't be transferred to you. Reportedly, customer service has issued redemption codes to some second owners who asked, but it's not guaranteed.
Step 3
If you're trying to update iLife or iWork apps that were installed from a purchased DVD, or if you have a refurbished Mac bought directly from Apple, contact App Store customer service for a redemption code. You may be asked for the part number of the DVD.
Step 4
From the App Store menu bar, select
Store ▹ View My Account
Enter your Apple ID password at the prompt. At the lower right corner of the window that opens, click the Reset button. Close the window.
Step 5
According to a report, the error can result from changing the language setting of your Apple ID account. I can't confirm. -
After updating to Mavericks and trying to updates for my apps I get : This update is not available for this Apple ID either because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or cancelled. My apple id has always been .mac but after the update I used .me. Are these not synonymous?
Hi everyone yesterday I was experiencing the same problem I am glad to share its fixed now for me
"This issue is only related to our Apple ID and to to those specific apps which we already have on phone or had installed on phone before except for those apps which we already have in purchase history AppStore>Updates>Purchase(on iPhone) History(having cloud icon next to them) it's something related to our purchase data
*ITS NOT RELATED TO PHONE OR MAC!
*RESETTING OR UPDATING THE DEVICE WONT MAKE A DIFFERENCE!
(As in my case it was on iPhone 4 7.1.1 iPhone 5s 7.0.3 and iTunes of course )
Here is how I got it fixed
I contacted apple support via chat method and I asked about a solution giving my info.she told me that she submitted my application and in order to resolve this I should not be using my AppStore ID for any purchase for at least 30mins as doing so may not resolve the issue so I checked it after couple hours and it's fixed
(As I read in some other discussions that some people asked for solution from apple support and they told them to reset the device or so.. You may need to make your statement clear that it's appearing both on iTunes and iPhone ) -
