HT201269 transferring apps from iphone 4 to iphone 5s, apps stuck in waiting mode

I just upgraded from iPhone 4 to iPhone 5s, and while retrieving my backed up information, half of my apps have been stuck in "waiting" mode for two days.  Should I start over, or does it really take that long to transfer my apps to the new phone?

Are you on wifi?   You can always sync with your PC if the apps are local and that would speed it up dramatically.

  • IPhone 4 - apps stuck in waiting mode for a week or more

    I have an iPhone 4.  After the most recent iOS update, I have three apps on my phone that are stuck in "waiting" mode.  I can't start them, I can't delete them, they don't show up on my iTunes.  I've emailed apple twice and they just ignore me  Thanks for contacting support.  We'll get back to you NEVER.

  • Two apps stuck in "waiting" mode.

    I have two apps that are stuck in "waiting" mode. I've tried EVERYthing suggested online; nothing's working. I've rebooted the phone, looked up the app in the store (where it just says "Open," meaning I can't uninstall it), etc. Help!!!

    iTunes: How to resume interrupted iTunes Store downloads
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1725
    If you still cant download and are getting an error code..google can usually tell you how to fix any of them.
    if nothing works...email itunes theyre the only ones that can actually delete something out of your downloads..you can delete it but itll just keep showing up. If you bought it recently they might be able to give u a refund for it if it doesnt download. Either way i'd get it out of your queue if its a problem. It might mess up your other downloads.

  • APPS stuck in waiting mode

    Been over a week now and my apps are still in 'waiting' mode. Is there a way to fix this without having to do a re-set? My iPod is either a 2nd or 3rd Gen. Kinda confusing which version I have. My sales receipt says 3rd but serial # indicates 2nd. Any help is greatly appreciated.

    If you mean without doing a reset of your ipod, you can go to Settings, General, Reset, Reset Network Settings. That's been known to work.
    Otherwise a [reset and/or restart|http://www.apple.com/support/ipodtouch/assistant/ipodtouch/#section_2] of your touch would be my next try. That's not the same as a Restore, btw, where you wipe off your data. It's more like rebooting your computer or turning it off and on.
    Hope that helps.

  • HT201269 Transferring photos from iPhone 4 to new 5.

    I set up my new phone and all went well, or so I thought, but not all my photos transferred.  What apparently happened is my phone stopped backing up in the iCloud awhile ago due to being over the limit.  It is the photos from that point forward that didn't come over.  How can I get them?  I already have new photos on my iPhone 5 I don't want to lose.  This shouldn't be this difficult.  Help please!

    Import the photos from your old phone to your computer as discussed here: http://www.apple.com/support/contact/.  Then sync them to your new phone by selecting them on the Photos tab of your iTunes sync settings and syncing.

  • Transfering videos from Iphone 4 to laptop, the video is rotateed 90 degrees

    After transferring videos from Iphone to laptop, Why would the video be rotated 90 degrees?

    IIRC, the iPhone is configured that "normal orientation" for video recording is horizontal with the home button on the right.  If you are holding it in a different orientation, then that would be encoded in the EXIF data on the recirded video file.  Now if that file is edited and that EXIF data is removed or altered, then you could see what you are seeing.  It is also possible that the player yo uare playing the videos back in does not properly support the EXIF data embedded in the videos, which would have the same results.  When I record video on my iPhone 5, the playback on my Mac works properly.

  • I transferred video from iPhone (4S) to iPhoto and then to iMovie9.  Footage in iMovie is stretched.  Is there a way to fix that?

    I transferred video from iPhone (4S) to iPhoto and then dropped that footage into iMovie9.  The footage is there in iMovie but it is stretched.  I have tried to adjust using aspect ratio options but that doesn't work.  Is there a way to fix that in iMovie (or at any other point in the process)?

    It shouldn't be this way.  Did you shoot the video in portrait or landscape mode?  Many people shoot in portrait mode because they typically hold the phone upright.  This is really shouldn't happen if the videos are shot in landscape mode.

    how do i transferring video from iphone to mac, i synced it but nothing shows up

    I don't believe OS X has the ability to receive AirPlay (which is what you're using).  There's some advice on the matter on the Wikipedia page, though:

    Scroll down to "Third-party software implementations".

  • Transferring music from iphone to pc

    Purchased/Downloaded music from itunes to iphone - how can I sync / upload music to PC to back up?

    PaulCB
    Saw your post about transferring music from iPhone. I guess I am a total dweeb; I cannot understand Apple's instructions.
    I have two identical PCs. Have same version of iTunes on each. iPhone 3GS with 4.01 OS. I cannot figure out how to transfer the 5400 songs on my iPhone into my iTunes library without erasing the 2500 songs (different titles which came from a Dead Dell) that are already there. Any advice would be super appreciated.

    You should ask in the Apple Forum. This has nothing to do with Adobe Reader, which only reads PDF files.

    I accidentally restored my iPhone 5c and some apps are in "waiting" mode. How do I get them back?

    Hey Tfromon,
    Thanks for the question. It sounds like you have an app that seems to be stuck on “Waiting," and the following is a past discussion that dealt with a similar issue and may help you as well:
    App updates won't download on my...: Apple Support Communities
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4111336
    Try tapping the App, so that it changes to Paused instead of Waiting, then tap it again to resume the install.
    Make sure you don't have any paused downloads in other apps either, like the App Store or iTunes Store.
    If that doesn't do it, try resetting or restoring the iPhone.

  • My iphone 5 is stuck in recovery mode after battery change?

    my iphone 5 is stuck in recovery mode after battery change, I decided to change my faulty iphone 5 battery as i was out of warrenty, I managed to chance the battery with no problems (I Think), when i put the phone back together and tried to power on with the power button, nothing happened.!  i connected to itunes and it powered on, displaying the connect to itunes screen (recovery mode) all was going well, the phone was restoring, the image of the phone restoring and loading up was displayed on the screen, when it finished it restarted but to show the connect to itunes screen again, it is stuck in the recovery loop. i tried the steps with holding the power and home button etc, none worked.! now when i try to restore, it extracts software but then, ' the iphone could not be restored, an unknown error occured (3194)' comes up, any ideas out there???? and Happy Christmas to Everyone ,

    Hello Andyoneill9,
    It sounds like you are trying to restore your phone but keep getting an errror message 3194. I want to recommend the troubleshooting steps from this article named:
    Error 3194 or "This device isn't eligible for the requested build"
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4451
    Resolution
    Important: If you see one of these messages and need help updating or restoring your iOS device, Install the latest version of iTunes and try to update or restore again. After that, follow these steps if you need more help.
    Check your "hosts" file
    After you've updated iTunes to the latest version, you can check the hosts file to be sure your computer can contact the update server. Use the numbered steps below if you’re on a Mac.
    If you’re using a Windows computer, follow steps in this Microsoft support article, noting that resetting the hosts file will affect software services that rely on hosts file redirects. If you're using Windows on a business computer, consult your IT department to be sure applications will still work correctly after resetting the hosts file.
    In the Finder, choose Applications > Utilities.
    Open Terminal.
    Enter this command and then press Return:
    sudo nano /private/etc/hosts
    Enter the password you use to sign in to your computer and press Return. You won't see text appear in the Terminal window when you enter the password. Make sure you use a nonblank administrator password.
    Terminal will display the hosts file. Navigate using the arrow keys and look for an entry containing “gs.apple.com”.
    Add the # symbol and a space ("# ") to the beginning of the gs.apple.com entry.
    Press Control-O to save the file. Then, press Enter when prompted for the filename and Control-X to exit the editor.
    Restart your computer.
    Try to update or restore your iOS device again.
    This is the first troublehsooting step to try, so there are additional things to try if needed you need them.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Regards,
    Sterling
