Download app store apps stay in "wait" status

Since i updated to ios 5.0.1 everytime i try to dowload an app or update an app form the app strore, the download proces will stay in "wait" status. I've tryed now 3 times to reset my ipad2 but with no effect

This might help as well. Sign out of your account on the iPad, restart the iPad and then sign back into your account.
Go to Settings>Store>Apple ID - tap on the 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.
Then go to Settings>Store>Sign and sign back in. See if you can resume the download - or see if it starts up on it's own. Try tapping the icon it try to resume the download.

  • Dowload app from app store stay in wait status

    Since i update to ios 5.0.1 on my ipad2  everytime if i want to download apps form the app store the status of the downlaod proces stays in "wait" status and the app will not be installed.

    Hi fredfromroosendaal,
    You can try do a soft reset by pressing the home and power together for around 10-15 secs and wait it reboot.
    After that try download again and it should solve the problem.
    I face this before and get it done by doing step above.
    Hope this works for you too.

    Hi bunjamin,
    just go to BlackBerry World, and update all your apps including BBM.

  • Downloaded apps appear as waiting on home screen but I can open them from the App Store. How do I fix this?

    I bought a replacement iPhone 4 online because my old one broke about two months before my contract expires. I took it to Sprint to activate it, they reset the entire phone, activated, etc. I restored my phone from an iCloud backup (which I'd made right before going to Sprint), and now about half my apps have downloaded normally, while the other half say "Waiting" and can't be deleted (no X button). The strange thing is that if I go into the App Store and look at my purchased apps, the apps that say waiting can be opened and used by pressing the "Open" button there, so I know the app is downloaded and installed but the icons on the home screen are still greyed out and unusable. I've tried to reset my phone, restart my phone, redo the sync, and download the apps from iTunes, but nothing works. Any suggestions?

    Tried that as well. The problem isn't that the apps aren't downloading, it's that the app icon is stuck on Waiting. I can actually open and use the apps from the App Store, but not from the home screen.
    I'm adding photos to try help explain, though I'm not they'll show up well on since I'm on mobile.
    THats the the home screen with useless icons
    BUt if I search the App Store for one (like Buzzfeed)
    IT it shows it being installed, and I can even open the app an use it. I would try to reinstall but I cant remove the apps.

  • Apps stuck in 'waiting' status

    I've seen a few similar posts, but adding mine here.  iPad2 software version 5.1 - last two days, app downloads and updates stuck in 'waiting' status.  Tried signing out, powering off and back on, and then signing back in, but no luck.  Works fine when syncing through itunes on computer, but no luck with cloud downloads or over wi-fi from app store.  Also automatic cloud downloads aren't pushing to iPad.  Help us Apple!!!!

    First, Apple isn't on these forums, so your'e just writing your fellow users here.  Second, Apple servers are overloaded with new users updating to their new devices, downloading new apps, etc.  Give it a few days to settle down, but you're just seeing the fact that there are more users than the servers can handle at one time. 

  • My iphone won't download apps, just show waiting and won't download podcasts. Help!

    My phone won't download any apps, just say waiting instead of loading or downloading.
    Also won't download any podcasts or songs

    Try Settings => Store, sign out and sign back in
    Also try Settings => WiFi, toggle off/on
    Try Settings => General => Reset => Reset Network Settings
    (this will erase any WiFi password you had entered in previously)
    Try downloading to computer's iTunes and sync to the device after that.

  • Downloaded apps stuck on "Waiting..." due to songs in iTunes?

    I've been sifting through the support discussions on this topic for some time now.  I recently backed up and restored my phone to clear some of the "Other" storage, which was taking up more than 4GB of my tiny iPhone so I could update to iOS 7.1.  In so doing, I opened a can of worms.
    A lot of my downloaded apps are stuck on "Waiting..." though I can still use them if I type their names into the App Store and open them that way.  That's inconvenient, and I'd rather not be stuck having to do that.
    After reading through the discussions on this topic, I traced what I believe to be the problem to several waiting songs in the iTunes app.  These songs won't download because they are registered under other Apple IDs (old friends).  I have no interest in these old songs and would like them removed, but I can't tell my iPhone to not download them.  It just prompts me for an Apple ID password that isn't mine.
    How do I convince the iTunes app to stop attempting to download these songs?  I tried swiping left or right to delete them, but that hasn't worked.  I seem incapable of interacting with them in any way that doesn't immediately prompt me for a password.
    I've backed up, restored, and given my iPhone a few hard resets.  Nothing has worked.  I've also gone into settings and disabled that "Show All Music" thing, but I haven't backed it up and restored since then.
    Any suggestions?  I'd really rather not have to set it up as a "new phone."

    Going into Settings - General - Usage, deleting each "Waiting..." app individually, and then redownloading them through the App Store seems to have solved the problem.
    I still have a queue of old music in iTunes that I'd rather not trifle with, but at least now I have easy access to my apps.

  • My phone won't download apps it says waiting loading and then it says it cannot be installed

    My phone will not let me download apps anymore I have logged out of iTunes and logged in again but that didn't work. When I try to download apps it will say waiting, installing, then it will start over like 3 times, then it will say unable to download app at this time and I will have the option to retry or done and if I click retry it will do the say thing over and over and if I click done and try agagin later it still won't work.

    Turn off you phone and back on.  make sure you on a good wi fi network

  • ITunes Match Tracks Stay In Waiting Status Forever

    I am having an issue with getting four tracks to successfully upload to iCloud from my Mac.  These tracks are spoken word (not audiobooks).  I right click on them (individually and as a group) and click "Add to iCloud".  This then starts iTunes Match to to match and go through its motions.  The process completes without any errors, but the tracks show in iTunes as waiting.  This will stay this way for days upon days without being available on any iOS device.  The iCloud status in iTunes stays as Waiting and never changes.  I can see the album art, but there is no option to download it from iCloud or play it.
    I have tried the many described steps that others have suggested about converting the tracks to AAC, MP3, etc.  I have even tried to change the bit rate to something higher. The tracks are starting out as 128kbps, 44,100kHz Stereo.  I have tried bumping them up to 256kbps without any change in iTunes Match or iCloud.  I have also removed them out of iTunes (keeping exising tracks, deleting tracks, etc.).  Evey step I seem to make with trying to get these tracks into iCloud comes with complete failure.  Am I doing something wrong?  Is there some kind of solution that I am missing?  I am about ready to throw the towel in for iTunes Match.  The service works great if your music lives in iTunes to begin with, but I have nothing but problems trying to get any audio in from the outside.
    Thanks for you help and suggestions.

    The files are AAC audio and the size is 20MB or less.  I have even tried shortening the track names in the ID3 tags.  The actual file names are short to begin with and less then 15 characters.
    Kind:  AAC audio
    Size: 20MB or less
    Sample Rate:  44,100 kHz
    Profile:  Low Complexity
    Channels:  Stereo
    I will try switching the genre to "Audio Book" and see what happens there, but really would like Match to work.

  • App Store apps stays on "waiting"

    I used iExplorer to delete all the stuff on "download" section and in worked for a while... Now I'm stucked (not sure if "stucked" is correct, english isn't my first language) again.Thank you!

    I say this alot, if all else fails, do a forced 5.1 restore. Plug into computer, do a backup, transfer all purchases, turn phone off (while plugged in), Press and hold Power and home for 10 seconds, let go of power after that but continue holding home until iTunes says its in recovery mode.

  • Downloaded apps stuck at "Waiting"

    Hi all,
    This problem seems different from a couple others I've seen posted:
    When I purchase an app, it begins it's download, but stays stuck in the "Waiting"mode. The App Store itself doesn't freeze (i.e. no spinning beach ball), but the apps never download. They just sit in the dock with a progress bard that never changes.
    I've tried restarting, logging in and out and re-downloading the apps.
    Has anyone else had this problem or found a solution to it?
    Thanks!
    - Casey

    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.
    If that doesn't work - sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
    Settings>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>Store>Sign in and then try to update again. Tap one waiting icon only if necessary to start the download stream.
    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.
    You can try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your app preferences and device settings again.

  • App logos in "waiting" status

    Certain  apps logos on my home screen say "waiting" and i can't get them to work or delete?

    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.

  • Several apps stuck on "waiting".  When I press "install" in the app store update on one of these apps, it just runs the app.
