HELP - apps in waiting status!!!

Hi!!
I have an ipad 2, and have never had issues with this before. I have a few apps that are in "waiting" status. I tried restoring all settings, I tried logging into and out of the store from both the ipad and my computer, I tried syncing the apps from my computer.....but am still having difficulty - 1 is a new app that I downloaded, and the other is an update!!
What else can I try???
Thanks, Wendy

1. Check iTunes and see if you have a pending/stalled download e.g. Podcast, Books, Music, Movies or iTune U. Finish off the download and you should be able to update.
2. Check for Updates (bottom right) in iTune. When download is completed, sync to iPad.

Apps on waiting status

I have 4 apps that are in waiting status and trying to download. They have been that way since yesterday . I can't even delete them and re- download them. I tried tapping on app to see if it will start to download and nothing. I've logged out of iPad and was pressing and holding home and and sleep button at same time to reset and still nothing. I want to use these apps. Can anyone help me out. Thank.

Try updating/download using iTune (computer) and sync to iPad.

For the 2nd day my iPhone 5 will not let me download updates for apps. When i click update, it acts as if it is going to update but puts all apps in "waiting" status. I've tried selecting each, as well as deleting and re-downloading but to no avail.

For the 2nd day my iPhone 5 will not let me download updates for apps. I've tried selecting each to click off wait, and have selected new updates indvidually instead of all together. Also have shut the phone down and have even deleting the apps completely and re-downloaded but to no avail. Each app continues to sit on my screen with the line below as if it is about to download but never does, and now any apps I've tried to updated will not let me use them.

Oh my gosh I had the EXACT same problem, and for ages I couldn't figure out how to fix it until today. Here's what I did:
First I went onto my computer, opened itunes, and un-installed tumblr, vine and kik. These were the apps I was having problems with (it said I had them on my phone but, like you, they didn't show).
Then I went to the itunes store, searched for each one, and it said I could update them so I did (just FYI: for tumblr a window popped up saying "please click ok to confirm you are 17 years or older", so I did that also)
When I went back to my phone and tried installing them again (still on my computer), it worked!
I hope this helps, because it was incredibly frustrating. Good luck!

HELP: WI in waiting status

I have a situation where a SC has been created and I have a work item ID but it's in 'waiting' stage. I can see in the SC approval preview that the right approver has been determined, but no emails are going out.
I used txn SWUE to create a "SAVED" event to restart the WF, and it did by creating a new WI ID but the WF container shows no approvers at all. I go back to the approval preview again, it now says No Approval Required when it facts it needs approval from an executive. It showed the correct approver before I restarted the WF.
Please help me figure out why it went to 'waiting' in the first place and how I can restart this properly.
Thanks.
SN

Hi,
It not picking the approver, for testing purpose hardcode a user id and test it. If still the problem comes check the Task before the approval.
The problem will be in the Task which is before the Approval Task. Then execute and check the method in the BO and assign it to the workflow.

surjith

Numbers app in "waiting" status

Talked to the Apple support people and they suggested that I reset my 5C entirely. I find this unacceptable. Is anyone else having issues with this? If so, were you able to resolve it?

I think its not what he meant. I am also encountering this problem right now with ipad mini retina iOS 7.1.1.
I have fully installed numbers but still on the app screen it is greyed and labeled waiting. I know that the app is fully installed because if I go to the app store and went to purchased I could open the app and run it.... Its annoying because I can't uninstall it or access it on the app screen.
O.T.
Keynote is also acting weird, I have downloaded it on the itunes app store on my mac because it downloads very slow on my ipad's app store (while other apps download normally.) When I install it from itunes it doesn't install. But when I disconnect my ipad and connect it, it is labeled as installed but I cant find the icon.
Pages works normal...

TS1702 Updating Apps went to "waiting status" and just stopped in that status.

My updating system is not working just put the icon apps in "waiting status". I have tried uninstalling and installing back.

Also, Try this...
Close All Open Apps... Sign Out of your Account... Perform a Reset and try again.
Reset... No Data or Settings will be lost...
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.

I really do not think it is the iPad or your network connection. Other users have reported this very same issue. Try this and see if it works for you - it may not work - but it's easy to try - harmless - and it has worked in the past for others.
Try signing out of your account and restart your iPad.
Go to Settings>Store>Apple ID and tap 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. Go back to Settings>Store> Apple ID and sign in again.

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.

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.

How do I stop an app from waiting? I have tried to reboot by holding the home key and power button to power down. Also, I have tried to sync the apps from my laptop with no success. Can you help? 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.

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.

you can turn off the magnifying glass :

you can deactivate the "reset to Hub view" :

Hey omaredabed,
Thanks for the question. I understand you have an app that seems to be stuck on "Waiting". The following is a past discussion that dealt with a similar issue, the answer may help you as well:
App updates won't download on my...: Apple Support Communities
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4111336
Try tapping the App, so that it changes to Paused instead of Waiting, then tap it again to resume the install.
Make sure you don't have any paused downloads in other apps either, like the App Store or iTunes Store.
If that doesn't do it, try resetting or restoring the iPhone.

I have had a similar problem with my system. I just recently (within a week of this post) built a brand new desktop. I installed Windows 7 64-bit Home and had a clean install, no problems. Using IE downloaded an anti-virus program, and then, because it was the latest version, downloaded and installed Firefox 4.0. As I began to search the internet for other programs to install after about maybe 10-15 minutes my computer crashes. Blank screen (yet monitor was still receiving a signal from computer) and completely frozen (couldn't even change the caps and num lock on keyboard). I thought I perhaps forgot to reboot after an update so I did a manual reboot and it started up fine.
When ever I got on the internet (still using firefox) it would crash after anywhere between 5-15 minutes. Since I've had good experience with FF in the past I thought it must be either the drivers or a hardware problem. So in-between crashes I updated all the drivers. Still had the same problem. Took the computer to a friend who knows more about computers than I do, made sure all the drivers were updated, same problem. We thought that it might be a hardware problem (bad video card, chipset, overheating issues, etc.), but after my friend played around with my computer for a day he found that when he didn't start FF at all it worked fine, even after watching a movie, or going through a playlist on Youtube.
At the time of this posting I'm going to try to uninstall FF 4.0 and download and install FF 3.6.16 which is currently on my laptop and works like a dream. Hopefully that will do the trick, because I love using FF and would hate to have to switch to another browser. Hopefully Mozilla will work out the kinks with FF 4 so I can continue to use it.
I apologize for the lengthy post. Any feedback would be appreciated, but is not necessary. I will try and post back after I try FF 3.16.6.
