Frozen app update

Help, I was performing an app update on my iPad and it is frozen in the installation phase.
How can I remedy this ?

What app is it? Can you restart your device, and see what happens? Or try to sign out then back in again.

Since migrating from Windows 7 to Windows 8 and upgrading to iTunes 11, the latter has frozen while syncing my devices, usually while at the “determining apps to sync” stage of the process. If I am attempting to download app updates before attempting to sync, the problem normally occurs at the first “installing app x” stage. In addition, the whole iTunes experience is extremely sluggish and will even freeze while searching for a track. Everything worked fine on Windows 7. So far, I have repaired the program several times and have checked for compatibility issues, but there is no Windows 8 option in the combo box, obtained after right-clicking the icon and selecting Properties/Compatibility. As a result, I am unable to sync my devices. If I uninstall iTunes before re-installing, will this affect my iTunes libraries? Does anyone have any suggestions?

After going by elimination to isolate if the problem was from (1) iTunes app, (2) my computer or (3) my old iPhone 4G, I figured out what my problem was.
1) First I deleted & reinstalled iTunes on my Windows PC without succes, my playlist did not changed on my iPhone.
2) I tested a successful #sync from the iMac at work.
So my conclusion is: The hard drive on my Windows PC is full and that is affecting iTunes SYNC functionalities.
So I'll do a back-up then run a "Clean Install" of my Windows OS, hoping that it will fix my SYNC problems.

App update frozen

After receiving an update to an app on my iPhone, the update process is frozen with the app update showing half complete, but never finishing. How do I cancel the update?

What App is it that you are trying to update or is it the new iOS 7? If iOS 7 update is hanging please see:

Some of My app updates have frozen....waiting

I've tried re booting. When I touch and hold the app nothing happens. The frozen apps can't even be deleted

You already tried rebooting and you said that didn't work, so just skip that suggestion. These have worked for others in the past. YMMV.
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.
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>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.
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 device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered.
If all else fails, download the updates or the apps in iTunes on your computer and then sync the content to your iPad.

I have 5 apps that needed updating. I updated and now apps are "frozen" in updating stage. They won't even delete after I hit delete button. What to do?

Reset time, press and hold both the power and home buttons for 10-15 seconds till the Apple logo appears. Release both buttons. Wait 15-20 seconds till your iPad starts on it's own. Check the downloads.

App update is frozen. Icon is greyed out and "waiting...."

I have got the same problem with my Facebook icon on iPad. I think something went wrong when I tried to do an update the last time. The icon (as described above) has been faded out for some days and is showing the word "waiting". I have tired everything I can think of (trying to delete the icon (will not work as, while the icon 'shakes', no "x" appears to left for it to be deleted). Any help welcome.

Apps update has frozen, how do I fix? Have tried all suggested apple solutions.

My iphone 3gs was updating apps and froze part way through. I cannot delete or use the frozen ones. Rest of phone working fine. Have tried the fixes apple suggest to no avail.

Go to the App Store app, click on Updates. Can you see the "frozen" apps? Is the Update button enabled?
If that does not resolve the problem open iTunes on your computer, click on Apps and check for updates. The updates should be downloaded to iTunes. Then connect the phone to iTunes, click on its name, and click the Sync button.

ITunes freezes downloading app updates

I'm running 10.5 (141) on my iMac running Lion and am running into a problem where iTunes will constantly freeze when I download my app updates. If I download updates individually, there doesn't seem to be a problem and if I turn off simultaneous downloads, the probelm will be less frequent but it always seems to happen if I have a bunch of apps to download. The scenario is this, I will click on "Download All Free Updates" and it will start downloading away. Things will be fine for a while but after a few minutes of downloading, I'll notice that suddenly the progress bars stop moving and the estimated times start going up. At this point, iTunes is effectively hung. I can sometimes press a few buttons like "pause all" and this will pause all the non-active downloads but not the ones in progress. Even though I can get to the Finder, I cannot quit iTunes, force quit iTunes or restart my system. If I try to force quit iTunes from the dock, that will usuually cause the dock to freeze. Each time this happens, my only recourse is a hard reboot. I've tried having Activitiy Monitor running and a Termimal window open at the same time but when this happen, both of those apps hang at the same time so I'm not able to type any commands or quit any processes.
This is any annoying problem because each time I do a hard reboot, I risk corrupting my iTunes library. I've had similar problems with iTunes in the past freezing but those were random. This always happens during app downloads. I had hoped that this kind of thing would stop once iTunes was a true Cocoa application but it still seems to bring the whole system down whenever it has a major problem. My guess is that it's crashing some network process and that in turn in hanging the whole system.
Luckily, I don't actually need to update the apps on my computer and can do it directly from my iDevices but it's frustrating that this problem exists. Any ideas?

I can't believe that no one answered Eric D's querry! It has been over a year! Come on Apple iPad users, help us out.
I have a similar problem that arrose recently. I have had my iPad for a couple of years, no problem. But recently, I notied that I had a number of apps that had free upgrades so I began to download them. ArtRage is one of my important apps as I use it on my iPad andI have ArtRage Pro on my iMac. However, when I attempted to download the latest upgrade, ArtRage froze. The app is greyed out on the iPad and it can't be used and I can't download the upgrade either. When I try to upgrade, it goes to "waiting ..." then, I receive an error window, "Unable to Download Application." ArtRage" could not be downloaded at this time: with a "Done" and "Retry" button. If I hit the Retry button, eventually the same error window reappears. This is a Catch 22! Moreover, the ArtRage App is frozen so I can't even use the previous version.
I checked with ArtRage help and they say this is an Apple problem (or a Appstore problem). I now have my SketchBook Pro app frozen like this also. These are two of my most importat and most used apps. I need help.
Just to make things clear, I was able to download Dragon a few minutes ago. So this problem does not effect all the apps I need to download.

App update freezes

During an app update on my iPad, the update froze. I have tried a re-set, I've powered on and off, I've shut the app down, I've signed in and out of iTunes. Nothing helps, still frozen. I'd like to just delete the app, but there doesn't seem to be a way to do this on the iPad. I cannot connect to a computer for the next two weeks, I'm iPad only for that time. Using iOS 6.0.1
Any thoughts appreciated, thanks.

Now I know how Homer Simpson feels.
DOH!
Lost my mind when I wrote the question, apparently. Thanks.

How can I unfreeze app updates?

How can I update frozen app updates

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.

Numbers for iOS - Documents frozen in update mode

After restoring the contents of my iPad2 to my new iPad (4th Gen) two of the documents in Numbers are "frozen" in update mode. The same two documents are being updated according to the pad, but nothing happens. I have restarted the iPad several times which did not help. I can neither open nor delete the two documents in question. Can anyone help med by suggesting a possible fix?

are all your documents saved on your desktop already, or icloud? If so you could delete the apps and reinstall. then download from icloud/desktop again.

3GS Constant Issues: Application Image Changes/Frozen Apps/Low Signal, ETC

This is my THIRD iphone 3GS! So I would like to know if there is going to be a recall. My battery dies extremely quickly. My application images change and they freeze. I have the iphone 3g and I have great signal strength but the iphone 3gs does not. I have went through the Restore process/not restoring it from the old iphone onto the new (to not have the corrupt data on the new iphone)/ reboot the applications/ restart one by one and still the same issues. I have asked if it is an At&t issue but that would not explain the application image changes or frozen apps. All of my applications are updated... itunes and mac updated. brand new version...
Any one having the same issues?

It seems unlikely, because many us are having trouble-free 3GS experiences.
The only "solid" rumor is that a new OS 3.1 is in the works.
