How do i delete an app that just says 'loading...' but never has an X

i downloaded garage band. I have also re-synced my ipad and my computer many times.
the problem: the garageband icon just forever says 'Loading....' but never actually does.
I cannot delete it like a fully loaded app because there is never an 'X' that is there when you press it.
I have tried to reload the app by simplye plugging into the computer as normal when you 'sync' but this app never leaves the 'loading...' mode.
Help! I either want the app to load and work or I want to delete it.
For now, since we cant seem to get it to work...how do i delete it?
I have the ipad with the largest storage and the 3G

I've just been through this experience with Pages.  I assume the application shows up in your iTunes, under Apps, correct?  If so:
1) with your iPad connected to your computer, CTRL click on your iPad name under Devices and select the Back-up option.
2)  from your Summary page (see menu buttons at top of screen), select the Restore button.  NOTE:  This is going to restore your device to factory settings and will take a little bit of time). 
3)  when the Restore function is finished, there will be an option on the screen to restore from you iPad backup.  Click on that.
At this point, my Pages application was now an active and accessible icon on my iPad.
One caveat, this morning when I downloaded a small "to do" app from the App Store, I watched as my Pages icon on the iPad went into "Paused" mode and then plunged into the perpetual "Loading" and/or "Waiting" modes again.  After repeating the steps above, it is once again active on my iPad, but I now wonder if I'm going to have to back up, restore to factory setting, and then re-install everything each time I download a new app...?  Only time will tell.
This is a problem associated with the 3G service, with it's 20MB limit and, I'm assuming, will occur with every download that exceeds 20MB...?
I understand that access to WiFi resolves the issue; unfortunately, I don't have WiFi.

  • Please someone help. When I tap Purchased on the ipad, it won't open to show me my purchases. It just says loading, but never does!

    Please help! When I tap Purchased on my ipad, it won't open to show me the purchased apps. It says 'Loading' but never does. I use the apps to help my daughter who has an Autism Spectrum Disorder. Thank you in advance 

    Hi, I was having the same problem on my new Mini.  It would load fine on my iP3 and my phone but not my mini.  My two daughters both have iPads linked to my iTunes account.  They download a bunch of apps and I suspected this had something to do with it.
    After a few hours, I found how to hide the purchased apps in iTunes (go to Store, App Store (up the top) then the Apps tab.  Hover the mouse until you get an X then click on it.  It doesn't delete it from your library, just stops it showing up on your iPad.  I did this, launched Purchased on my iPad mini and boom they all came up.  I just hid those I don't use/want any more, and some of the older ones my kids have purchased.  Cut the number down from nearly 500 to 280 and it loads like a charm now.

  • I just purchased the new Nokia windows phone.  How do I delete an app that I installed but really don't want to keep?

    I just purchased the new Nokia windows phone.  How do I delete an app that I installed but don't want to keep?

    You are welcome! I played with the 928 in a Verizon store and really liked it. Besides the great camera and Nokia Maps, I'd be pretty excited about Nokia Music, too. As I understand it, this free app lets you create playlists from its entire music library, which can be stored on your device to listen to any time.
    There are a few members on the WP board who are really knowledgeable about Nokia and WP, so let us know if you have more questions.

  • TS1702 How can I delete an app that was purchased?

    How can I delete an app that was purchased?

    Delete an App Store app: Touch and hold its icon on the Home screen until the icon starts to jiggle, then tap the "x" . You can’t delete built-in apps. When you finish, press the Home button.
    Deleting an app also deletes all of its data. You can re-download any app you’ve purchased from the App Store, free of charge

    How do i delete an app that came with the latest 8.2 software update?

    Since you can't delete apps that are part of iOS, you should try the same thing I do. I create a folder which I call Worthless and move to the last page of my iPhone. I then put all the apps that Apple includes with iOS into that folder. With the name Worthless, I never even tempted to look in there again. That is about the only thing you can do with worthless apps that are included with iOS.

    How do I delete an app that hasn't fully downloaded?

    If Demo's suggestion doesn't work, 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 the screen blacks out or 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.

  • I'm using iphoto9.1.3 but now it doesn't seem to work, whenever I try to open it, it just shows loading, but never loads. Can anybody help me with this ?

    I'm using iphoto9.1.3 but now it doesn't seem to work, whenever I try to open it, it just shows loading, but never loads. Can anybody help me with this ?    

    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. .

  • My Wi-Fi just says connecting, but never connects. I've rebooted the router and the phone.

    Well that was it. My Wi-Fi just says connecting but never connects. I've rebooted the router and the phone. LG G2

        ETea,
    Sorry to hear about the trouble with Wi-Fi. Let's get you connecting again. Are other Wi-Fi capable devices able to connect without issue? Go to Settings and touch Wi-Fi. Touch your network and select "Forget." Touch "Search" on the bottom. Once the phone detects the network again, touch the network, enter your password and select connect. Let us know if you get connected.

  • How can I delete an app that doesn't show as installed but is?

    I can not delete an app that is on my iphone 5.  Unfortunely I do not remember the name of it!  It shows up as a moveable round botton within a square on all opened screens. When tapped it opens up four options: Favorites, Siri, Device and Home.  It was a cool time saver with the iOS5, but with the addition of comand center in iOS7 It is rather in the way.  Does anyone know the name of this app and or how to uninstall it??  Thanks for any help

    That did it, it's gone!  I don't understand, is it uninstalled? 
    THANK YOU so much   

  • How do i delete apps on itunes ??? i went to the library and it only shows a few apps that i have.  But when i go into my account i can see all of the apps i have downloaded.  soooo how do i delete the apps that are only showing in my account?

    How do I delete an app on iTunes?  I can delete the apps that are shown in the library of iTunes by right clicking and hitting "delete".  But all of my apps aren't shown in the library (I don't understand that either).  I can see all downloaded apps in my account though. But I don't see how to delete them from there.

    If you plug in your iphone, click on it in iTunes, and go to the apps section, it should be checked to sync apps if you want them to show up in iTunes as well as your iPhone. Once synced they will show on both.
    Then if you click Apps under the Library header in the left panel of iTunes, you'll be able to permanently delete apps, removing them entirely from iTunes. Highlight an app's icon or a group of icons by holding down Shift and hit the delete key (or select Edit > Delete from the top menu or right-click on an icon and selecting delete).
