    How do I remove an app from my ipad that is stuck in paused mode?

    Tap the app so that it can complete then delete it by holding your finger on the app until it starts to wiggle then tap the "x" in the left top corner. This is the iPad guide. http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iPad_iOS4_User_Guide.pdf

  • How do I get rid of an App stuck in waiting. I synced my iPad with my computer, booted my iPad, signed out and back in the store! Help!!

    How do I get rid of an app stuck in waiting? I have signed in and out of ITunes store and booted my iPad. I synced my iAd with my computer. I can't use the app or delete it! Thanks!

    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.

  • When I try to update the apps on my iPad 2 and iPhone 4 they are stuck in waiting.

    When I try update my apps on my iPad 2 and iPhone 4 they are all stuck in waiting.
    I have tried:
    restarting my device
    signing out of the store and restarting the device and signing back in
    reset all settings
    double taping on "waiting" apps
    All my softwear is up to date. I know that apps only download one at a time but I have checked them all and they are all in waiting. I am connected to wifi.
    HELP!

    This is strange, but it may be a fix for my problem. These are the steps I took to possibly fix my problem. Before trying this I noticed that not only are all apps that are being updated listed as "Waiting", but new apps being installed were also listed as "Waiting".
    I unselected "Sync Apps" in iTunes on my Mac. A sync automatically started and all the apps, other than the standard apps were removed.
    I selected "Sync Apps" and chose just one app to install. I chose iBooks because it's an Apple app and because there is significant content associated with it through my purchases. The iBooks app installed without issue.
    I selected a larger group of apps to install (basically all those that began with the letter "A"). These apps installed fine and are useable.
    I selected all the apps I wanted on my iPad. These apps (113 total) all installed without being listed as "Waiting".
    I used the App Store on my iPad and chose one app to update. The app was immediately listed as "Waiting" and when tapped was listed as "Paused".
    I removed the app from the iPad and reinstalled it via iTunes on my Mac. The app installed fine and works great.
    I accessed the iTunes Store and went to the screen "My App Updates". I selected the same app I tried to update in Step 5. The update work fine.
    I synced my iPad and the newly updated app was installed on my iPad without issue.
    This tells me that the issue lies within the process that updates apps on the iPad. If the app is updated in iTunes proper on my Mac, the updated app is installed on the iPad without issue.
    I've only tried this with one app. I will now update all the apps on my Mac via iTunes and see if the newer versions install correctly on the iPad after syncing.
    I hope this helps other people having this problem.

  • HT1689 iPad App - stuck downloading a deleted app...

  • IPhone 3GS app stuck installing - can't be deleted

    I purchased a Tavelocity app for my iPad that requires iOS7. When I later went to use my 3GS iPhone (iOS v 6.1.6) I discovered that it was attempting to install the Travelocity app on the iPhone. It is now stuck in a "waiting" mode and cannot be deleted. When I press the Home button the app does not display an "X" to be deleted. When I connect to iTunes it shows the app in the right panes representing my iPhone, but not in the list to the left. Therefore, I cannot select it to be removed when I sync. I have searched the web for solutions but none have worked. Why would my iPhone 3GS attempt to install an app that requires iOS7 and what can I do to remove this app from my iPhone? Ever since this happened, my battery life has reduced significantly and if I attempt to do anything that requires a lot of power it crashes. Can someone please recommend a solution? I don't know if this is related to the problem I described above, but after downloading and installing updates to other apps from the App Store app, when I select to see the Purchased apps, it attempts to display them but is unable to do so. The list is blank.

    Only photos taken by iPhone can be deleted normally, the ones synced via iTunes require a new photo sync.
    Create a empty folder on your computer.
    Connect device to iTunes.
    Choose "sync photos".
    Choose the empty folder you created.
    Start sync.
    Done.

  • Updates stuck on iPad and iPhone

    In trying to update several apps on my iPad and iPhone, they got stuck in "installing" mode and will not finish.  I've completely powered off the devices, but it didn't help.  The next time I said update, the apps did the same thing.  One is Keynote.

    anyone?

  • I cant download apps from my iPad 2 only my laptop

    I cant download apps on my iPad 2 it started after the ios 5.1 update I think it was and I tried downloading an app but it wont let me it was free too. I tried lots of times with different apps but still wont work. And now I cant update because one of the apps is stuck on installing and its still there wether I turn my iPad off, turn wi-fi off its always there! And I even tried locking it ! Still there, I tried backing up and it wont back up. Everything else is perfect except for downloading things.
    Please Help!

    Try double taping the stuck app, it should stop the download, then restart. You can also try going to the App Store, searching for the App, and try installing from there if it let's you. Can you hold the icon and make it jiggle to delete it?

  • After iOS 8.3 update, apps stuck on OPEN on App Store Updates page

    Did the iOS 8.3 update by backing up my iPad Mini in iTunes then doing a "Restore". I did that with the last update and all went fine. This time, it appears to have gone well except that I had some apps that had updates pending after the Restore. After doing the updates, when I go to the App Store "Updates" page, I still have 4 of my apps listed there with the button option set to OPEN. On the upper right corner it says "Updated August 18, 2015". Yesterday when I did the update was Saturday April 25, 2015 - go figure. When I tap them they all open but they never leave the page. One post said to wait until an app had a valid update pending and see what happens after I update it, so I'll need to wait to see if that works. I have searched this community and tried all suggestions: changed the date set to manual and push it out over 30 days. That did not work. Did a reset. No luck. I even did another "Restore" thinking maybe that would resolve it, but they came right back. The puzzling thing is that in all of my searching, I have found apps stuck in differing states of "waiting" or "downloading", but none of them have mentioned seeing the apps with the OPEN option visible. I did delete the apps and that made them go away, but I'd prefer to keep them. Any suggestions would be sincerely appreciated. Thanks in advance...slog

    If it has NEVER been jailbroke, here are some standard repair procedures:
    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore (or it doesn't help), go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.  You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again.  Also, read this.

  • Apps stuck in waiting after updating on iOS 7.0.2

    Since i updated my iPad 2 to iOS 7.0.2 i have this persistent problem, I tried everything to make it normal but it never happens.
    After i update an App on my iPad throught the AppStore on the iPad this problem occurs.
    1. Eventhough the update is complete the app gets stuck in "waiting... " state
    2. However the App opens through the AppStore on the iPad
    Above are few of the apps stuck in waiting and they have a Open button adjacent to them.
    Notice that iBooks is on waiting... however i can open it through the app store.
    and use it normally.
    Only solution which works as of now is to delete the apps from settings on the iPad and install them again from the Appstore, but then i'd loose all the data i previously have.
    I have no Idea why this is happening. I cannot open the stuck apps directly by taping them i have to go through the AppStore. Please help.
    PS: You cannot uninstall app by long tapping it because the X mark does not appear on the app.

    Try a reset ...
    Reset the device:
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings

  • How to remove a frozen app on the screen

    frozen app, not downloaded , just frozen.
    can no longer access the computer because the app is frozen

    I don't fully understand what the System Reset does but I've found that it cures many ills.  It's easy, quick and harmless:
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home  button simultaneously  until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if  it appears.
    A System Reset does not remove any apps, music, movies, etc. nor does it cause any settings to revert back to default.
    Also, you might wish to download the iPad-2 User Guide.  Pay special  attention to page 162.  Note that this Guide also applies to the iPad-1  with IOS 4.3 except for those functions that are not supported by the   hardware.
    http://support.apple.com/manuals/#ipad
    Finally,  the User Guide can be downloaded at no charge via iBooks and a less   comprehensive version of the Guide is included as a Safari bookmark.

  • Keynote presentation stuck on iPad

    I used to have a lot of keynote presentations on my iCloud account. I have since deleted them all, but there is still one that shows on my iPad as if it's still updating. I cannot select it to delete it or to anything with it. I have even deleted the keynote app from my iPad and reinstalled it, but the file keeps coming back. It doesn't show up on my iPhone or on iCloud.com. Any ideas on how to get rid of it?

    I see that this is a very old questions, but I just saw it this morning while looking for a solution to my own problem. After logging on to iCloud.com, I was able to delete the two presentations that seemed to be stuck on my iPhone.
