HT1725 apps stuck waiting to update

some apps are stuck updating. not working anymore.

Hi therealmatty,
To resume the download, I would suggest you sign out of your iTunes account, restart the iPhone and sign back in.

Then follow the steps in the article you referenced above. If you are still having trouble accessing your content from the iTunes Store, try these steps:

I hope this information helps ....

Apps stuck "waiting" after update - no solutions working

I have three apps that have been stuck "waiting" since my iPad crashed when they started installing (I think it was a full storage issue, which I have since resolved). I have tried all the solutions I have seen everywhere... fully rebooting the iPad, checking that there are no other pending downloads in the App Store or iTunes (in fact other updates have downloaded fine since), logging out of my Apple account, and even deleting the apps by going to Settings>General>Usage. After I deleted the apps, they stopped showing up in my list of apps in Settings>General>Usage>All Apps, but they still appear on my home screen and in the App Store as "waiting." I can't delete them from the home screen, because they stay grayed out and don't get an "x" on them when I make all the app icons wiggle. Any suggestions?

I think that may be part of the problem right there. Rather than deleting an app through Settings, delete it by holding it until it wiggles and then tap the X to nuke it. But now that you've deleted it the other way, this no longer works.
I'd suggest adding the apps back to your device, either through syncing or re-download, then delete them as I described above if they are still stuck in an update download, and then re-download them again.

Apps stuck waiting on new iPad

I updated to the iPad air and while trying to reload my apps, many are stuck "waiting."
I've rebooted (hard press power button), turned off & back on, double-tapped apps, long-tapped apps, etc...
No avail.
Help!

Hi there servant5866,
You may want to try force closing all open apps and resetting the device as an initial troubleshooting step. Take a look at the articles below for more information.

Apps stuck waiting to be updated

A couple hours ago my iPhone tried installing updates for my Tweetie and Remote applications. Both icons say they are "waiting" for the updates to install, but nothing is happening in the progress bar. I can't delete them and re-syncing with itunes didn't fix the problem, either. The App Store now says the updates are installed, though clearly they are not.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thank you,
Bryan

I seem to have the same issue but with three applications:
Flixster
Tap Tap Revenge 2
Convert Any FREE
I can't delete the apps from the iPhone directly so I tried to delete via iTunes, sync (choose do not transfer already purchased). Then downloaded them again and they're still stuck in the same status.
Is there any fix to this please?
Thanks in advance

App stuck waiting

Tried downloading an app and it is stuck on waiting. When I hold to delete, there is no "x" above the icon. Tried to sync with desktop and no luck. Also tried to delete from desktop, but because it's not downloaded yet it does not show up.

Did you try to download the app in iTunes on the desktop and then sync the iPad?
Sometimes - if you have a pending download - say in iTunes perhaps - and it didn't complete - that can cause the backup with the waiting apps.
Sometimes restarting the iPad can help get the app to download as well.
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.

TS1702 apps are waiting to update constantly

Ipad 2 apps needed updating. I went to the app store to update, and clickrd the update all tab. The apps began to update when I lost my WiFi connection. All of the apps that needed updating are now dark with the update bar at the bottom, but none of them are progressing. In the app store it says "all apps are up to date". I've tried restarting the device, installing a new app, and all the other Apple suggestions with no problems, but also no success. If anyone can help I'd greatly appreciate it. -MacManD

Hi. This happened to me recently on my iPad2, too. I had apps to update, so I did an "update all". Soon after, all the apps went into a "waiting" state. Couldn't even delete them. Tried a power off/power on reset. Still the same.
After a bunch of searching unsuccessfully for an fix, I started fooling around a bit. Well, my fix was extremely easy. The hard part was find out about it! Well, turns out it's "elegantly simple" just like Apple's intent with most areas of its computing strategy. Cool! Here it is:
Go into the App Store. Now, do this singly for each app in turn. In your list of "waiting" apps, select one by pressing its icon image once.
It will then take you to a larger version of that apps info. Press the icon/image again. Just once.
It will then take you to that particular app on your iPad. Press the icon once. It should start updating.
Do this singly for each app that is waiting to be updated and you list of updates should soon be cleared.
I don't know, possibly a problem with the "update all" code?
Hope this helps you!
Best,
Doug

IPod touch apps stuck "Waiting..."

I believe several of my apps were interrupted when I tried to update them, and now they are grey and they just say "Waiting...". I have tried to delete them (with no progress), I've tried to re-sync them, I've done three hard resets, and I have checked my iPod/iTunes software, and it is up-to-date. Help!!!

Have you tried downloading them on your computer and then syncing? I am unclear since I do not know what is meant by your statement: " I've tried to re-sync them".

HT201412 Apps stuck "waiting"

Apps stuck "waiting"

Help! I was able to successfully download and run apps using Wi-fi until one of the apps had an upgrade. After this, not only did the upgrade fail (it sat "waiting" with no results) but now I cannot download any other apps (they stay "waiting" as well).
I've tried resetting, logging in/out of iTunes, and cancelling/restarting the downloads for several apps with no success. I synced to my laptop, and I can download apps into my iTunes on my computer and have them show up on my iPad.
Why can't I get them to download using just the iPad? Thanks!

App won't install/update?

About 2-3 days ago, I tried installing an app on my iPod touch. The download isn't paused, and it isn't completed yet.
It won't delete. It's stuck on the icon that looks like a target but has the lines through it.
And I have the app iPhoto which recently had an update.
It won't update. It's stuck on the "Waiting..." with the darked icon.
On the app store it's stuck on the loading sign.
Help?
