How to remove an app that refuses to update

Ok, so I was updating my apps and all but one did so successfully. Now the one that didn't keeps prompting my phone for my itunes password to update it, but it won't update and I keep getting the prompt for my password about every 5-10 minutes that I am on my phone. I tried removing it by holding my finger down and having the 'x' appear but since it's 'paused', it doesn't give me the option to remove that one specific app.
Anyone have any idea at as to what to do with this fussy app?

Try removing it from the phone using iTunes and then re-sync

  • How to reset an app that won't update?

    I have four apps that started the update process but could not finish for some reason.  The status is "installing" but the label is grayed out.  They are not updating not can I reset the status.  They seem to be stuck.  How to reset this? 

    Sign out of iTunes
    Go to App Store
    Select non responding app
    That will take you to app open screen
    Select app that will take you to it's location
    Select it
    Go back to app open screen and select update
    I think that is it,  I didn't write it down

  • Remove crashed app that will not update?

    I tried to install an update to iOS Chrome app on my iPad 3. the download crashed and would not restart, and the original app would not launch.
    So I deleted it.
    Now it's gone, but I can't reinstall Chrome because the AppStore seems to think its already installed.
    How can I remove/reset to enable reinstall action?
    I have already restarted my iPad.
    Thanks in advance

  • I have 0,3€ credits. How can remove them so that I can change to the app store of another country?

    I have 0,3€ credits. How can remove them so that I can change to the app store of another country? I need to change to the Chinese app store as the apps I am looking for can be only found there. Thanks for all answer in advance!

    Click here and ask the iTunes Store staff to zero your account balance. Note that if you're not in China, you won't be able to use the Chinese App Store.

    DELETING APPS
    Touch the app and hold your finger down until all the apps start to jiggle. You will see a circled "x" in the upper left corner. Tap it to delete an app. When done press the Home button.
    You cannot delete any pre-installed iOS app.
    If the app is in iTunes, then you delete the app in iTunes (Select the App and Press Delete on your Keyboard). If you then sync with your iDevice, the app will also be deleted from your iDevice.

  • I have an Ipad 2 and have about 20 apps that will not update, How can I delete these?

    I have some apps that will not update on my IPad 2.  They say they are installing, but Installing is grey..not black, and they have been like this for several weeks.  I cannot find out how to finish the updates or delete them.  Can someone suggest a solution?  Thanks, Ann

    You can only delete them one at a time on the iPad. If you have an IMAP email account, go to your email in on the server using a web browser and select as many as you can at a time and delete them that way. That action will be reflected on the iPad. In IMAP - whatever you do on one device syncs across all devices. If you have POP email - start deleting one at a time.

  • Can someone tell me how to get my apps that are on my ipad to appear on my TV using Apple Tv

    Can someone tell me how to get my apps that are on my IPad to be viewed on my Apple TV?

    Welcome to the Apple Community Coachcad.
    Basic AirPlay: Assuming both devices are on the same network and that AirPlay is not turned off on the Apple TV, then simply tap on the screen when you are watching content you wish to stream to your Apple TV, then tap the airplay icon that appears in the control bar, choose the Apple TV from the menu that appears.
    Mirroring: When displaying the content you wish to mirror on the iPad 2 (or better), iPad Mini, iPhone 4S (or better), swipe from the bottom of the screen, tap the AirPlay icon and choose your Apple TV from the list of devices (iOS 7 or better) or double tap the home button (quickly) and swipe the bottom row of apps to the right to reveal the playback controls, tap the AirPlay icon and select your Apple TV from the list of available devices (pre-iOS7)

  • How do you install apps that says waiting

    How do I install apps that say waiting that wont budge

    If the apps are downloaded from the App Store, connect to WIFI network and click on the app, make sure your iPhone is charging and keep moving the screen so it wont go on stand by.
    When it says loading and you see the bar loading you can just leave your iPhone alone and wait until it's downloaded.

    I'd suggest deleting it from your device and your Apps library and then re-download from iTunes.

  • How can I use apps that I have purchased from Apps Store for Mac on my iPad2?

    how can I use apps that I have purchased from Apps Store for Mac on my iPad2?

    Thanks, varjak, it is too easy to fall into use of jargon assuming everyone understands what it means.
    One additional point in all of this, not all "iDevice" apps run on every "iDevice".  Some are customized for a specific device, or class of devices such as the iPod/iPhone with their smaller screen.  Others for just the iPads for their larger screens.  So the user needs to be sure they are getting an app that will work on their specific device.
    And to Phoneboone, you do need to purchase the app again if it is for a different class of equipment.  When you are looking at apps such as iWorks for the Mac and iWorks components for the iPad, the iPad versions are very inexpensive.  Pages is only $10 (US) which is really cheap for such a good word processor that reads and saves in the MS Word format.
    Anyway, search for what you need and just enjoy the convenience of so many options for apps.
