HT1725 My app downloads are stuck waiting. There is no 'downloads' tab in iTunes. Very aggravating

My app downloads are stuck waiting. There is no 'downloads' tab in iTunes. Very aggravating. I sign into iTunes. No download tab. I sign not App Store. No download tab. 2 apps stuck on 'waiting'. Have reset iPad2 - no progress.

Also, I'm unable  to delete the 2 apps. So they just sit there taking up space.
I'd like to at least be able to start the downloads or delete the apps. I can't do either.

  • App Updates are Stuck Waiting

    All of my app updates are in waiting mode with no progress in days.  I touch one (Keynote) and the phone shows "Waiting..." and then the message comes up "Unable to Download Application."  "Keynote" could not be downloaded at this time.
    1) I am on WiFi, browsing works fine, have confirmed connected.
    2) Does the same thing on all apps.
    3) I hit update all over a week ago, and every app is not not accessible because it thinks it is being updated, even though stuck
    4) Power Off/On many times
    5) Hard Reset (lock button + home button until Apple logo)
    I had this problem on my iPad 2 recently as well.  I reset:
    1) Reset All Settings -- did not fix
    2) Erase All Content and Settings -- this did fix it.
    The problem is that "Erase All Content and Settings" forces me to re-download all my apps (200 or so), and none of my folders are preserved.  I have to then spend hours re-building all my folders, or have my apps randomly on 7 or 8 screens.  I would really prefer a solution where I do not have to go to this length to get it fixed.
    Any better ideas?

    Any other ideas?
    If I backup my phone, then "Erase All Content and Settings," will a retored backup put all of my apps back into their folders?

  • Resetting apps that are stuck waiting

    Use the settings on your phone to reset. Not Itunes. Reset to your original settings and this problem goes away

    I don't know if you ever got it working, but I found the following website that has some suggestions:

  • HT5137 i have apps that are stuck at waiting?

    Since downloading ios 7, and syncing using icloud, i have multiple apps that are stuck in waiting mode.
    Any ideas?

    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.

  • I have 2 apps that have been waiting to update for a week.  I don't really care about the update, I would just like to use them, but the are stuck waiting.  I have tried powering down, syncing with my computer...all fails.  Any ideas?

    At this point you have no choice but to update the or delete them and reinstall them since you wont be able to use them until they update - or come out of the "waiting" loop.
    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>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>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.

  • HT1430 Apps are stuck waiting, what do I do

    All my apps state that they are waiting.
    What do I do to clear this up?

    Hello MJHof,
    Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with the apps that are stuck on waiting.
    I recommend tapping on the app to change the status to Paused and tapping once more to initiate the download of the app as suggested in this featured discussion:
    App updates won't download on my iPhone, they just say waiting.

    See if any of these suggestions 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.

    You can try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered.
    If all else fails, download the updates or the apps in iTunes on your computer and then sync the content to your iPad.

    If your iTunes is the latest version, restart your computer and reboot your iPhone. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the iPhone restart. See if that fixes your problem.

    Without knowing current status of the iPod:
    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer          
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Repeated/Looping App Download Failures in iTunes

    All:
    My iTunes store has repeatedly failed to download a new app (Monkey Island) since late last week along with an app update for Beatkmaker which occurred Sunday evening.
    Behavior is as follows:
    Purchased app through App Store
    Download begins
    Download goes through to the end
    File apparently does not verify
    Download starts again automatically
    Continue loops of above.
    Steps I've taken follow:
    (1) Attempted downloads of the App from three separate internet connections - cable via Cox Communications, mobile wireless via a Sprint wireless modem, and my ATT 3G connection. Nothing. Zip. Nada.
    (2) Deleted iTunes from my hard drive and re-installed using the latest disc image from Apple (v8.2.1) - even though this was the version I already had on my computer.
    (3) Ran Disk Utility after booting from the OS-X CD and verified/repaired all permissions as well as verifying no problems with the hard drive.
    (4) If I allow my phone to attempt this, it runs the battery rapidly down to zero and actually heats the iPhone up to a point where I have to shut it down.
    (5) I still cannot get the download "shadow" icon off my iPhone.
    (6) I attempted to download seven iPhone App updates with the following results:
    PhotoBuddy - 1.2mb - SUCCESSFUL DOWNLOAD
    Pocket God - 10.3mb - SUCCESSFUL DOWNLOAD
    Star Hogs - 40.5mb - SUCCESSFUL DOWNLOAD
    Hear Planet - 1.1mb - SUCCESSFUL DOWNLOAD
    MyWeather - 3.7mb - SUCCESSFUL DOWNLOAD
    Beatmaker - 163.8mb - FAILED TO DOWNLOAD - BEHAVIOR IDENTICAL TO MONKEY ISLAND. Provided additional error message after three download loops:
    stopped (err= -1000000)
    (7) This would appear to me to be a problem from Apple's side with large file downloads via iTunes. I don't know what the size limit of a successful download is at this point (obviously somewhere between 40.5mb and 163.8mb).
    (8) Note above that I first purchased Beatmaker sometime in 2008 and there have been multiple updates of this App since then.
    (9) I've had no problems with app downloads and phone updates until the 3.0 iPhone update AND corresponding iTunes store update happened around 6 weeks ago. I had to take my wife's phone into an Apple store for it to be restored last weekend after unsuccessfully trying to update the phone from 3 different Macs and a PC.
    (10) Test downloaded a 285mb file from a non-Apple FTP server and it came through fine.
    I look forward to any help out there.....a real puzzler....Apple has not responded to the problem via iTunes store support yet....hence my posting here.

    Same here. 1g running 3.1.3.  Can't download or stream any podcasts though iTunes.
    I share the hope that this is just temporary.  This would be worse that merely abandoning the 1G.  This would be eliminating existing functionality.

  • TS2988 there is no ringtone tab in itunes any more.  I have 11.0.5.5  Am I wrong?  If so, where is it?

    With such a nice device, why does itunes seem so clunky?
    All of my ringtones disappered with the one of the recent updates.  Now I can't seem to find any way to sync them back to my Iphone 4s.
    Frustrating!
