HT1689 iPad App - stuck downloading a deleted app...

I deleted an app from my iPad.  Now my iPad is stuck trying to dowload an update and I can't delete it.  Posts have said to delete the app but since I did prior to the update that won't work... 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.
 Cheers, Tom

  • HT1689 Ipad "apps" will not update (was 14 items, now 9).  Ipad used extensively in Europe & UK for a month.  Condition has existed since our return to Canada.  Followed steps as listed in Support to no avail?

    Help with multiple Ipad app updates.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like two (or more) different Apple ID's were used when Apps were purchased and originally downloaded and installed.
    Another possibility might be that maybe some Apps were downloaded in other countries during your travels, and might not be authorized by the developer or by Apple for use in locations other than the country of origin.
    To change the active Apple ID, navigate to Settings, Store, and touch the active Apple ID shown. Then Sign Out, and sign in with the other Apple ID(s). Now go to Apps, and Check for Updates. Once updates are installed, you can again sign out, and sign back in with the other Apple ID used most often.
    My wife and I share her iPad. Initially I downloaded the apps I wanted to use with my Apple ID, and 'her' apps using her Apple ID. That system works pretty well, except for updates. To update everything installed, I had to log in with one Apple ID, download updates, and then log in with the other Apple ID to finish.
    It wasn't a problem when there were only 10 or 15 apps, for each of us, updated infrequently. When it reached more than 100 apps for each of us, it became inconvenient to do the dual updates.
    When I upgraded her iPad to iOS 5.1.1, I deleted most of 'my' apps (most were free anyway), and reinstalled only 'her' apps. Then I re-downloaded most of my free apps from the App store, this time using her Apple ID, to make future app updates easier.

  • New iPad 2 always downloading previously deleted emails

    I am using my Verizon.net POP3 email server.  On iPad mail setup Incoming I have it set to delete from serer when removed from Inbox.  My interpretation of that set-up is that any email I download, view and then delete (thereby removing it from my Inbox) should be deleted from the server by the iPad's OS.  Those I don't delete should remain on the server.  I also have an iPhone 3G running OS 4.x and it does not have this problem.  Emails deleted on it are also deleted from the server so that they don't appear again when accessing new mail.  The Mail settings otherwise appear identical to that of the new iPad.
    This is NOT a POP3 vs. IMAP problem.  It is an OS5.x problem as OS5.x is not handling the deleted emails by deleting them from the server.  I want emails deleted from the iPad2 to delete from the server whereas those I leave in the iPad 2 mailbox I want to stay on the server so that I can manage those from my Win7 PC using Outlook 2010.

    THANK YOU!  Great solution!

    It looks like you still have your emails stored on the mail server from your Internet Service Provider. When you update to ios5, it wipes out the emails on your devices. Then when you go into the mail tools, it pulls the emails off the server again. Very annoying, I agree.
    Best thing is to delete unwanted emails off the server, likely using a web based email tool from your ISP (eg Webmail from Time Warner, etc).
    Hope this helps.

  • TS3274 My daughters ipad has stopped downloading new apps, we tried to download some new ones this week and they are just showing as "waiting", we deleted all her games to see if it was a memory issue but they are still showing as waiting.

  • ITunes Stuck Download iPad App

    For some reason I don't understand, my iTunes is stuck downloading TWO copies of the same app (ESPN iScore baseball). the 15.7MB download always goes to 9.2MB then resets over and over again.  And there are two of them, I've tried deleting them from the iPad, from my computer, from iTunes but every time I launch the program iTunes Download shows:
      2 iTunes Downloads Available
    and tries to redownload the duplicate files.
    This is crazy!  I can't update them directly on the device, it tells me to plug into iTunes.
    Help!  How can I get back to just downloading the ONE update.
    Scott

    Thank you, that seemed to finally work.
    I did as you suggested, quitting iTunes.  My iTurnes library is not on my main hard drive because of its size, (it's on a separate drive), so I to delete the file, I made two deletions.  First I went to:
    iTunes All:iTunes Music:Downloads
    and deleted the list.plist file there
    Then I went to:
    iTunes All:Mobile Applications
    And I deleted the iScore.ipa
    Finally, I relaunched iTurnes and went to the iTunes store, and "repurchased" the application, which told me I'd already bought it and it re-downloaded the program AND it's update without a problem.
    Thank you so much for your help.

  • IPad app won't download and can't delete it

    An iPad app I have previously installed had an update which I went to install as usual.  The download  is stalled on "waiting" and won't progress.  I can't delete the app because when I hold it down it wiggles but the "delete x" won't show.  The App Store keeps telling me there's an update but the app just won't move on from waiting.

    Have you tried a reboot? Press and hold the home and power buttons simultaneously until you see the Apple. Release the buttons and let the ipad restart. Many times this clears out whatever is hanging the app.

    How can I delete the IMessage App from my IPad? I downloaded the app myself. It does not show an X on it when held down either. Any ideas?

    You can't delete the app iMessage.

  • I downloaded an iPad app on macbook how do i delete it

    Hi all,
    I hope everyone is well. Thanks in advance for you help.
    I downloaded an app in iTunes designed for the iPad not knowing at the time that iPad apps do not work on macbook pro.
    On the iTunes page it says downloaded where you click to download.
    My question is how do I find the app and delete it from the macbook (since there no point in it using up memory). I do not have an iPad.
    Thanks

    If you used iTunes, then open it. Click on the Apps option under Libraries in the sidebar. Locate the app and CTRL- or RIGHT-click then select Delete from the context menu.

  • Itunes ipad app download STUCK help!

    What started as a minor annoyance has evolved into a major hassle.
    I attempted to download Sherlock Holmes in HD the other day totally overlooking the fact that there is definitely far to little space remaining on my 16 gig ipad to actually download and store the movie..
    I only realized this was the case after getting a request to enter my itunes password about every 10 minutes. I didn't realize why it was asking me and it was starting to drive me crazy..!! What I now realize is that I think with a ending download the itunes store is trying to get me to authenticate myself to restart the download.. But I still have no room on my iPad.
    When i load up the itunes app it indicates with the red '1' on the downloads that i have a pending download,.. The big problem is..
    There is no way to abort it!,
    The app lists the download with "download error" and there is a little "pause" icon next to the download. Then there is a button hat says restart and when i click it it counts up "110 bytes" then "232 bytes" then some sort of download error is listed.
    Does anyone know how to just delete/abort/kill this download attempt...? It seems as long as it exists in my itunes app download queue I will be constantly asked for my iTunes password each and every time it auto initiates the next a attempt to download it..
    Help?!? Anyone have any ideas???

    Thanks for all the suggestions. I just ended up calling apple and the tech person placed a call into billing and the rental was removed from my account and voilà! The pending download disappeared from my iTunes app on my iPad moments later.. Problem solved.. I can go back to loving my ipad and not feeling like it is harassing me to constantly log into my iTunes account!!

  • I can't open my tooncamera app in my iPad mini. I already deleted and dowloaded it again. What should I do?

    I can't open my tooncamera app in my iPad mini. I already deleted and dowloaded it again. What should I do?

    Hello Neigilray,
    It sounds like you have removed and re downloaded it from the App Store, but when you tap the app icon it still will not launch. If you haven't already, I would delete the app just 1 more time then restart the iPad Mini:
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button on the top of your device until the red slider appears. Then drag the slider to turn your device completely off.
    After the device turns off, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button again until you see the Apple logo.
    Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    Then install the app again and re test it. if the issue persists, I would next back up your phone to your iTunes library and restore it then test it out again:
