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 apps that are hiding.

I have apps that are hiding, in my usage section the names of all the missing apps gave no titles only the app icon? I can't reset them or open the apps? This happened after this current update. I have a iPad air 7.06, please help cheers, and yes I have tried resetting.

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

HT201210 Have apps that are waiting but will not download

I updated my iPad 3 with the new iOS and now most of my apps are waiting but not downloading. I tried turning it off, signing in and out but nothing works. Please help

If the downloads are stalled or "waiting" - try these suggestions.
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.
If that doesn't work - sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
Settings>iTunes & App 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>iTunes & App 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.

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

After the iOS6 update I have apps that are missing & some that won't load or open! When will this be fixed?

I try to open some apps and the loading screen comes up but the it cuts off and will not open no matter what I do. I have reinstalled the app and rebooting the iPod?!! Don't want 2 reset the iPod to original settings will lose all saved material with games and videos!!?

Hi. Thanks! I guess I didn't state the problem clearly. The downloads are stalled--18 of them. The last time I tried to update (after a sync with my iMac), they stalled and never finished. Now I can't use any of those apps. I have a feeling it's one bad app stalling everything, so I'm going to try syncing with just bare bones apps. The iPad is strictly used by my kids, so I'm not that adept with it.

Why won't my apps update now that I have updated to iOS 7? The are stuck in "waiting." And how do I fix it?

I updated to the iOS 7 and now several apps, iBooks included, won't finish the update. I can't delete and re-download because they are stuck in "waiting." Also, I can't seem to reload apps sent to cloud back to my phone.
Storage isn't the issue because I have checked that. Or at least in the surface it doesn't appear to be. Any other trouble shooting ideas are appreciated.

I found that what worked to correct this issue on my iPhone 4S was to turn off automatic app updates. I went to Settings - iTunes & App Store - and under Automatic Downloads, switched Updates to off. My apps that were stuck in 'Waiting' immediately began downloading.
Although I would like to be able to use the automatic update feature, at least I found a fix to the 'waiting' issue for now.

Need help on downloading apps that are more than 20MB in size

I can only download apps less than 20MB in size. If i want to download others that are larger than 20MB, i have to use wifi... But after I connected my phone to my home network and clicked on the app, I am still unable to download it... The only message that pops up is to prompt me to connect to wifi.... but I thought I have connected it already??! So now the apps are grey in colour and stuck at the "loading" stage... Does anyone know how I can solve this problem? Thanks.

Hello, thanks for your answer... yups you are right, i went to the app store on the phone and the downloads started again.
I have one that is 22MB, one 124MB and one 36MB.... but i have tried to download those which are above 40MB but they can work... I don't know what happened to thes 3 apps...
Oh my, I have just started using iphone for 2weeks and i dun suppose my phone is out of space already?!! currently there are less than 40apps...
And the problem is i can't delete these apps that are stuck? when i press and hold, there is no "cross" at the top left hand corner... and i tried to uncheck the boxes in itunes to "un-sync" them.... but the apps remain greyed out on my phone... do you have any other ways to delete them?
Thanks alot!

How do I sync multiple devices on iTunes without apps that are only on an iPad Air not sync on other devices?

How do I sync multiple devices on iTunes (iPad Air & iPhone 5) without apps that are only on an iPad Air not syncing on my iPhone 5? I have apps on the iPad that I do not want on the iPhone, but when I sync my iPhone I have apps that are on the iPad sync to it also. How do I fix this so only the apps/data on each device sync to it?

Settings
iTUnes and app store
turn off automatic downloads for apps
Then what you buy on one device only goes onto another if you want it to

HT204266 i have several apps that are not updating, they are stuck saying "waiting"

I have several apps that are not updating, they are stuck saying "waiting".

Are you downloading music?
Check by going to iTunes (on iDevice) > downloads and then remove the one that is trying to download, this will then make the others download and when they are finished, the apps will update/install

TS1702 most of my apps are stuck on 'waiting' have tried everything possible from trying to delete them and re-booting ipad, nothing seems to work...is there a solution to this problem which seems that quite a few users seem to have....

most of my apps are stuck on 'waiting' have tried everything possible from what I read however nothing seems to work for me, does anyone know the right way PLEASE as it's very annoying....

When I open emails with PDFs I click on the attachment (doing this all on my iPad) it gives me the option to "open in iBooks", I accept then after that the document is sucked into my iPad but I can't do anything with the PDF after that. Where is the actual file on my iPad? Why can't I email or send these PDFs to my cloud (Dropbox)?
It's like once they go into iBooks they're stuck forever.

My screen continually freezes up. I've tried closing all apps that are openfreezby double clicking on the home button and closing them. I have held down on the home button and start button simultaneously and it still freezes. Can someone out the help me?

MY screen continually freezes up. I've tried closing all apps that are open and have held down the home button and start button simultaneously but neither helped. Can someone out there help me?

Well the next couple of things to try would be to reset all settings, and if that doesn't help, it's probably time to restore the iOS software.
Settings>General>Reset>Reset all settings. That will take all settings on the iPad back to factory defaults. It will not delete anything and you will not lose any data, but you will have to enter all settings again ...WiFi passwords, enable Siri, select your wallpaper, adjust brightness, turn on location services and set privacy settings, etc, etc.
You can read about restoring the software here.
iTunes: Restoring iOS software - Support - Apple
Should you decide to restore the iOS, it is extremely important that you back up first so that you can restore from the backup and then sync with iTunes afterward in order to restore all content back to the iPad. It is all covered in the kb article.
If you do not sync with iTunes, then I assume that you backup with iCloud. In that case you can erase the device in Settings>General>Reset>Erase all content and settings. Once again, backing up with I loud is I,operative before you do this so that you can restore from the iCloud backup after you erase the iPad and start over again with activation.
You should read this first before you restore from either backup.

Double-click the Home button to bring up the app screen, then swipe upwards on the app.

I have apps that say they are open in the app updates, how do I get them to close and not run in the updates?

I have apps that say they are open in the apps updates, how do I get them to close in the app updates?

This is normal under iOS 7. The App Store app shows all apps you have updated and are displayed in an "updated" list. The apps will drop off of the list in a few weeks or so. If they show as being updated, then they have in fact been updated. They will remain in the "updated" list until they are dropped off after a time.

I have apps on my iPad and my computer is not connected to the Internet. How do I get my apps to load on the computer ? Because it says the apps on my iPad will be replaced with the apps that are on the computer but there is none there!
