Help!  Waiting for app to install for two weeks!

I had an update for an app, and began the download process.  After two weeks, it shows as "waiting" on my home screen and "installing" in the app store.  I have tried to reboot, but it still shows as "waiting".  I cannot delete the app from my phone.  I've tried to delete and re-sync while my phone is plugged into my computer and nothing.  Other apps have been updated without issue. Anyone else have a suggestion?

  • For some reason, the last few apps I have tried to install, show just a faded app, with " waiting" underneath. I have pressed update but they have stayed the same for two weeks,

    Why won,t my apps download? They just say " waiting" below them. I have updated but they seem stuck for two weeks now

    Maybe .... One of these suggestions will work for you.
    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 app preferences and device settings again.
    If all else fails, download the updates or the apps in iTunes on your computer and then sync the content to your iPad.

  • Upgraded new iPad to iOS 5 after successfully using the machine for two weeks. The apps I downloaded are still here, checked for updates, all okay. However, when I try to use iBooks app or even USA Today, icon shakes, settles down then nothing. Help.

    Upgraded new iPad to iOS 5 after successfully using the machine for two weeks. The apps I downloaded are still here, checked for updates, all okay. However, when I try to use iBooks app or even USA Today, icon shakes, settles down then nothing else happens. Several tries, settings appear correct. Suggestions? Safari operates correctly, music icon matches (not from iTunes, simply music on my MacPro and iPod). Is Cloud the issue, perhaps? But everything worked before the upgrade. Using my home network. Hope this info suffices. Appreciate any guidance.

    Problem solved. Saw the solution in a more recent post. Downloaded a free app, then all my other apps started to work again.

  • I have been editing project for two weeks and now I get ghosts of other images fromt eh project coming up in the wrong places even though the thumbnail looks right. Help.

    Help. I have been editing a project for two weeks and now it gets ghosts of ohter images from the project coming up in the wrong places. The thumbnail has the correct image but the image either does not display and its black or an old image or another one shows.

    When I have problems like this I do two things. First I shut down and restart iMovie. Sometimes that rejuggles the date. But I am sure you have been doing that in such a long project.
    The Second thing I do is delete iMovie preferences, which can get corrupted.

    Go into your network preferences and click on your Wi-Fi connection then click the turn off Wi-Fi button wait a few seconds then turn it back on, then click the advance button at the bottom of the window, when the window opens click on the TCP/IP tab, check to make sure you have a valid IP address if you don't then click the renew DHCP lease button.  If you are still are having problems would it be possible to restart the router.

    if you can not unlock your ipad, you need to plug it into itunes and do a restore.
    If it will not ben able to restore you need to put it in dfu mode (holding down power and home for 10 seconds untill the screen goes completly blank) and then itunes will say it is in 'recovery'. Try that

  • Order in progress for two weeks after the appointm...

    Hello,
    I have ordered BT Broadband on the New Year's Day. The appointment has been set for for two weeks ago - the Kelly Communications technician couldn't set up the line as there was a (unidentified) fault at the Exchange. The day after an Openreach technician showed up to look into the phone line but he also wasn't able to resolve the issue and advised to wait for BT to get in touch when the issue at the Exchange is sorted.
    Over the last 13 days there was no communication from BT regarding my order, I called them twice and the response was the same: we're looking at it, there is a fault at the Exchange, we'll come back with an update (which obviously they didn't).
    I have two concerns that I hope you can comment on:
    - Is there a point in getting in touch with the Exchange directly? Would they be able to look into it in paralell to the BT's efforts?
    - Is that possible the issue at the Exchange is unfixable within any reasonable timeframe (as BT support cannot provide any)? Can I in such case withdraw from the contract with BT and cancel the order without any adverse effects (fines etc.)
    I would appreciate your help.

    Well I thought I'll share an update.
    So getting extremely frustrated I have posted on this forum in high hopes that someone will finally pay attention to my order. It was Wednesday. I also called the BT (not-so-very-)help(-ful) line the very same day just to be told that I need to wait for an update until Monday. On Monday I have been made an appointment with a technician to come on Friday (today), 8am-1pm. I have received a phone call at 2pm (when I've already been in the office for 0.5h) from the technician who was standing at my door.
    To sum it all up, 10 days since when I had already been extremely frustrated I am in the very same position, having no phone line / broadband, my case didn't move forward by an inch. I have already stopped hoping to be treated seriously, with respect etc. I just hope that there is somebody out there in BT who has some leftovers of humanity and compassion who can treat a fellow human being with dignity it deserves.

  • Iphoto won't fully open after computer being off for two weeks.

    After being gone for two weeks I came back home, turned on my computer and tried to load some pictures I had taken into IPhoto.  I opened the program but in only partially opened and all I get is the spinning pinwheel.  After waiting several minutes for the program to finish loading I finally had to force quit it.  After several attempts I gave up.  I've downloaded all updates and don't know what else to do.  I'm wondering if the most recent update is for Lion and I'm still running Snow Leopard.  Could that be the problem.  I've sent the reports to Apple but of course won't receive any response.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .
    Regards

  • Have family plan with 250 data which I almost use each month.  Going on vacation and will be on the road for two weeks.  Should I up my data for a month then change back.  Is it worth it or should I just run over and pay the extra 15 per gig?

    Hello mlazaretti. Vacation time is awesome. (Especially a road trip!) Since you will be going out for two weeks, you never know if having extra data may come in handy. I highly recommend switching to the next tier up so this way you have more data. This way it is only $10.00 more versus $15.00, and you dont have to worry about overages. Then change back at the start of the next billing cycle.
    If you need help making this change let us know! Have a safe trip!

  • What do I need to do to power off my Ipad.  It has a message on the screen that it has not been backed up by icloud for two weeks and will not respond to anything.

    I charged my Ipad last night and this morning there was a message from icloud that it has not been backed up for two weeks.  I tried to click the ok but it will not respond.  I cannot even power off the Ipad.  Does anyone know what I should do?

    A reset should help. Tap and hold the Home button and the On/Off button at the same time for approximately 10-15 seconds, until the Apple logo reappears. When the logo appears, release both buttons and await restart. No content will be affected.

  • Sign in for two weeks but it does not retain this time

    PRINTERS:     HPENVY110 SERIES AND HP C310A
    I had a few automatic updates to my computers and it would seem that since then I have not
    been able to sign in Eprint for two weeks - I tick the box but that does not work.    I so need the E print
    and I am lost without it - can anyone help.

    Hi smudden, did the software update on your computer include an update to your browser e.g. IE8 updated to IE9? If so you could try reverting back to the previous browser version to see if that is the issue.
    However be aware that you don't have to be signed in to your ePrintCenter account to send emails to an ePrint printer
    Hope this helps.

    Can anyone tell me how i get to speak to someone in customer service? they are retiring Forms Cental and i really need to speak to someone about the renewl of my subscription. THe live chat has been unavailable for two weeks and there is no other option to get in touch with these people. Any ideas anyone?

    Hi SwarovskiUK,
    I'm sorry to hear that you've been having trouble contacting Customer Care. Live Chat is certainly available--are you not seeing the chat option on the Contact Customer Care page? Or are just not able to get through?
    In any case, I should be able to help you myself. What can I do for you?

  • Leaving macbook pro plugged in to mains for two weeks

    Hi,
    I'm going away for a couple of weeks and want to set an "out of office" on my mail account.
    I understand the laptop has to be switched on for this to happen, so i was thinking to set a schedule where my laptop will switch on and shut down each day.
    Only query is battery. Obviously the battery isnt going to last for two weeks, so will leaving it constantly plugged into the mains for two weeks harm it? Are there any alternatives?
    Thanks for any help.

    Make the rule at the server end rather than the client. If this is an iCloud account login to the website and use the vacation responder provided, then you can just shut your Mac off and senders of email will get the response. Most other major email providers offer the same feature.
