During an app update it froze and has said waiting for 2 days and I am unable to open or delete. How do I recover my app?

Try this  - Reset 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. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

  • My iPad will not update.  It has said "waiting" for days

    My iPad will not update.  each time it says "waiting" and is installing or updating for days

    Are you trying to update the iOS or install app updates?
    Have you tried turning the iPad Off and then back On?
    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.
    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.

  • HT4060 my ipad has been charging for days and not taking the charge what else can be wrong.?

    i have an apple i pad 16 gb...i have it charging for days and its not taking the charge what else can i try...

    Could be the charger, cable or the iPad.
    Try this first - Reset 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. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
    And this - Unplug the charger from the iPad and then replug. May resume charging.
    Or - Recalibrate the battery. See link below.
    The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W or 12W (5W on Mini) USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (2.5W, most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
    Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
    How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery
    http://www.macblend.com/how-to-calibrate-your-mac-iphone-or-ipad-battery/
    At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

    If you don't have a backup make one now of all your own data, you can just drag your Documents folder to another disk, assuming that is where you keep your own data. Then erase the disk with Disk Utility by booting up holding cmd-r. Choose Disk Utility > Erase tab from the screen that is presented. Then install from your SL disk.

    While doing the Restore the "connect to Itunes Image is still on my phone and has not shut off or changed since starting the REstore.  Now Itunes status bar says "Processing File" but has not changed or done anything for 15+ minutes.  What do I need to do?  Let it go or is it not working????  FYI, I tried to update to the 6.0.1 (I believe thats this update)

    This was the third Restore I've attempted today.... 'm not sure what all I did including unplugging and plugging it back in, and messing with tryign to select my phone vs. my husbands but it starting moving again.  It's now attempting to "back up" from ICloud... we'll see. Thanks

  • HT4796 It says "less than a minute remaining" and has said that for 12 hours now.

    It says "less than a minute remaining" and has been stuck on that for over 12 hours.  I'm transferring information from my PC to Mac - all was going well for the first 8 hours, then it just hung.

    Hold down the power button for a few seconds to force a shutdown, then restart. It will probably be OK.

  • When I get on my ipod and press the app "text free"  I can text, but when I try to call I get something that says "Still connecting to the voice network and to try later.  This has been there for days and my daughters can call on theirs.

    What does it mean when you try to call from your ipod touch and you get a response that says, "Still connecting to voice network...try later?"  I have tried updating and still nothing happens.  I am using the text free app and my daughters are able to call from theirs...help

    Sounds like a Text Free issue. Contact their support.

  • Firefotly and starts slowly. When I switch to Safari all the windows open right away. This is a brand new Macbook so it's not the computer. What's going on? This has gone on for days and I'm ready to opt out.

    Firefox opens to a blank page. Then it is very slow to open any connections and sometimes just goes dead.
    This is not allowing me to edit the question....grrrrrrr

    Take it back, it's defective , you have a 1 year warranty and you have 3 months of free support, up to 3 years if you bough AppleCare.

  • Iphoto has been uploading for days and won't let me close program

    A few days ago I attempted to upload my photos on my iPhone 5s to free up storage on my phone.  I connected phone and it appeared they were being imported.  Not because I could see them but every time i clicked on import it said it was already importing.  i finally used Icapture i think it was called and i can see pictures but they are not in my library like the ones imported from my Nikon camera are. I am not able to shutdown iPhoto because it still says photos are being imported.

    force quit - apple menu ==> force quit and then restart your Mac
    Then if you did not have Image Capture import directly into iPhoto use the iPhoto file menu ==> import command to import from where every you had Image Capture put the photos

  • HT204370 I paused the movie download but did not turn off my IPad.  When I returned to restart, it has said "waiting" for over an hour.

    I paused the movie download but did not turn off my IPad.  When I returned to complete the download, the "waiting" message has been on the screen for over an hour.  How can I complete the download?

    I recommend purchasing lion on a USB drive at Apple Store. This will avoid all of the downloading hassles.
    Also, be sure you clone your hard drive first. A lot of people want to go back to Snow Leopard and if you choose to do this cloning will make the process very easy.
