IPad app frozen on "waiting"

How do you resolve an iPad (2) App frozen on "waiting?" It's an app I used regularly and can still access through App store. It was recently updated. I have read some posts online and have already tried rebooting the iPad, logging off/in iTunes, and double clicking icon. My main concern is that it's draining the battery.

Hello elsiehow,
You may need to force close all open apps, then reset your iPad.

Apps are frozen on waiting

I am updating apps and there are about 10 Of them frozen on "waiting"... I can't even delete them ... How do I fix the problem?

And feel free to try any of these suggestions as well.
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 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.

I have attempted to update a few apps and the install has frozen on 'waiting' not allowing me to either access the app or delete it, any idea why this has happened and how do I get around it?

See if either of these things works for you. In the future ... Only update one app at a time. Forget that the Update All button even exists. It causes more problems than it does good - IMO.

Several apps are frozen on waiting

several apps are frozen on waiting...I cannot delete them because there is no X to delete

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.

App downloads frozen on "waiting..." even after reboot.

A few days ago I had a download from app store freeze on waiting status. I tried restarting ipad2 and "hard reboot" as stated from some ppl in forums using both home and sleep buttos but still no luck. I tried also downloading other apps which also froze on waiting and even deleting the initial "problematic" app. Still apps are on waiting status a few days now and no reboot helps. Any other suggestions? I use ios 5

Thank you for your replies.
@marianfromspringwood, yes I am on a wi-fi, I don't own the 3G version
@desmond 31, clicking on the app doesn't bring anything up. I can only delete it but that doesn't solve the problem.
I also found out that I have podcasts stuck also on downloading state and won't go further. Those I can not delete.
@abilash432 I think that's what I'm going to do. Sounds Like a way to go for PCs and a device as simple as an iPad should not have problems like that.
@diavonex, I did connect it with iTunes on my putter but I don't see how I can complete the downloads there. Any more info on that?

HT1688 I'm trying to download a audiobook I got this morning with iTunes. However, the book is frozen on "waiting" status, what is the audiobook "waiting" for?

I'm trying to download a audiobook I got this morning with iTunes. However, the book is frozen on "waiting" status, what is the audiobook "waiting" for?

Hello Jose,
I would be concerned too if the audiobook I purchased from iTunes was not downloading on my iPhone. I have a few suggestions to get it downloaded to your iPhone.
First, I recommend checking to see if the download was interrupted:
If your download was interrupted using your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
From the Home screen, tap the iTunes app.
For iPhone or iPod touch, tap More > Downloads. For iPad, tap Downloads.
Enter your account name and password if prompted.
Tap the blue download arrow to resume.

If the audiobook still does not download, I recommend signing out and back into the iTunes Store on your iPhone:
Changing your Apple ID account
Tap Settings > iTunes & App Stores, then tap the Apple ID signed in.
Sign out of the current Apple ID account and then sign in with another account or create a new Apple ID.
The last step states to sign in with another account, but for the situation you described, I recommend just signing in with your same Apple ID.
You can find the full article here:

If you are still not able to download the audiobook, you can report an issue with this purchase using the steps in this article:

IPad 2, mail app frozen after g3 cellular connected. Receiving mail, but all screen function frozen. ???

Ipad 2, mail app frozen after connecting via g3 cellular. Incoming messages are received, but all app functions are frozen. Any ideas anyone?
rural location, have only Internet connection for answers, since email frozen. Thanks any help.

Thanks Diavonex, but that's what I tried to discribe that I'd already done. I didn't realise it was called the "task bar".
I've done both the things you suggested again, but Mail is still locked into this "white" screen when it is relaunched, and after 10 seconds it crashes back to the app menu page. I seems to be running in the background as it knows new emails are waiting to be read, but you can't get into Mail any more to view anything.
Not sure whether to delete all Mail accounts in Settings and start again, but that seems extreme.
Any other suggestions ?

Apps froze on "waiting" while updating.

24 hrs ago, i clicked on "update all" so that my aps would update overnight. Now frozen on "waiting" , how do I unfreeze them? - ipad.

Only one app updates at a time. Are you sure there's not one that is installing that is hidden from you?
If they all say "Waiting", you're either trying to update too many at one time, or you need to restart your iPad.
This happened to me, too, and I was able to fix it by restarting.

I am traveling why have my apps frozen when I tried to update them? I can't access my books on kindle now :-(

I am traveling and tried to update my apps. They have frozen with "waiting" under them. I now can't access my books in Kindle :-(. Can anyone help?

I am trying to do that now but with my computer, this problem is happening as well.... I am able to download a select few of the updates....

Applications update frozen at "waiting"

When I selected "update all applications" on my iPad, it showed "waiting" and has been frozen there for the last 2 hours for all applications!! I've tried hard reset of the iPad but it still shows the same greyed out "waiting" for all my fav apps. Thinking it was a wifi problem, I tried downloading a couple other new apps from the AppStore. Now those are frozen at "waiting" too. I can't seem to uninstall before reinstalling again either.
I've never experienced this with my iPhone. What's wrong? Help!

I solved the problem!
After try many suggestions, I was trying to figuring out why I could not install apps when I entered to iPad's iTunes and I realized that I had many podcasts (at least 12) frozen too! (like the apps).
When I paused the download of the podcasts, the "frozen at wating app" was installed!
I do not know why the podcasts are stuck, because I tried yo download another podcast and I did not have any problem.
Despite that, I am happy now because I can enjoy my iPad with a lot of apps again.
Regards,
F/

My iphone won't download apps, just show waiting and won't download podcasts. Help!

My phone won't download any apps, just say waiting instead of loading or downloading.
Also won't download any podcasts or songs

Try Settings => Store, sign out and sign back in
Also try Settings => WiFi, toggle off/on
Try Settings => General => Reset => Reset Network Settings
(this will erase any WiFi password you had entered in previously)
Try downloading to computer's iTunes and sync to the device after that.
