I have apps that say waiting, but will not start download

can anyone help

Turn your iDevice off the back on (or you can alternatively reset it)
Make sure you are connected to a wi-fi network
Try and download an app and see if it says 'waiting' (if it does go to step 4)
Go into the App Store app on your iDevice and see if you are currently downloading anything
Then Open up the iTunes app on your iDevice, go to 'More', the 'Downloads' and see if anything is there
If there is download it and if you don't want it you can delete it afterwards (you can't delete it while it is downloading
Go back onto your home screen and your app should be downloading

  • 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.

  • Creative cloud app downloading.. continues to say waiting and will not continue downloading

    using a mac pro computer. I am unable to download apps

    If you are getting waiting status after 42%  , follow below steps.
    Do not Quit Creative Cloud application when it is showing the progress status as " Waiting"  . Because if we close , the installer file will disappear from Tmp temporary storage.
    1) Right click on Finder icon and  select "Go-To" Folder option.
    2) You will get a text box, type-in below command and then hit 'Return' key.
    /Tmp
    It will open Tmp folder with list of sub folders inside .
    Search for Illustrator/ In Deisgn .dmg file . and then copy it to Desktop.
    Once you had copied .dmg file to Desktop.
    Launch Activity Monitor and "Force Quit" all the process related to Adobe like Creative Cloud, CoreSync, AAMupdater, AAMupdater notifier, Adobe Crash demon , Setup , Install....etc from Activity monitor.
    Then double click on Illustrator/ InDeisgn .dmg file and try to install .

  • 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 downloaded the latest Adobe Flash - it says successful but will not work. It says to 'Manage Plug-ins but the Plug-in says it is enabled but it will not work at all. I have tried disabling and then enabling - no success.

    There's two different versions of Flash. The ActiveX version for IE, and the Plugin version for other browsers. Did you install the correct version? This forum's software doesn't thing that Flash is installed for Firefox or the Plugin is disabled.
    1.Download the Flash setup file from here: <br />
    [http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe Adobe Flash - Plugin version]. <br />
    Save it to your Desktop.<br />
    2. Close Firefox using File > Exit <br />
    then check the Task Manager > Processes tab to make sure '''firefox.exe''' is closed, <br />
    {XP: Ctrl+Alt+Del, Vista: Shift+Ctrl+ESC = Processes tab}
    3. Then run the Flash setup file from your Desktop.
    4. Start Firefox and test your installation here: https://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
    * On Vista and Windows 7 you may need to run the plugin installer as Administrator by starting the installer via the right-click context menu if you do not get an UAC prompt to ask for permission to continue (i.e nothing seems to happen). <br />
    See this: <br />

    Hi Dave_warr,
    I would suggest restarting the iPad and see if the download resumes.
    iTunes: How to resume interrupted iTunes Store downloads
    Resuming downloads from an iOS device
    From the Home screen, tap the iTunes icon.
    For iPhone/iPod touch, tap More > Downloads. For iPad, tap Downloads.
    Enter your account name and password.
    Click the "OK" button.
    Click the Resume or Resume All button to start the download.
    If you don't see the application to download it, then follow these troubleshooting steps:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    If the app does not appear in your list of purchases, then contact the iTunes Store for help:
    How to report an issue with your iTunes Store, App Store, Mac App Store, or iBookstore purchase
    I hope this information helps ....
    Have a great day!

  • How do you install apps that says waiting

    How do I install apps that say waiting that wont budge

    If the apps are downloaded from the App Store, connect to WIFI network and click on the app, make sure your iPhone is charging and keep moving the screen so it wont go on stand by.
    When it says loading and you see the bar loading you can just leave your iPhone alone and wait until it's downloaded.

    Try this  - Reset 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. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)

    how do i install a purchased app that says installed but it's not on mac or iPad?

    An app is considered to be installed if it shows up in a Spotlight search of local volumes. Bring up a search window in the Finder by pressing the key combination command-F. Search This Mac for the name of the application. Delete all copies that are found.

    Uninstall your existing copy of iTunes. Delete any copies of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) installer files from your downloads areas for your web browsers and download a fresh copy of the iTunes installer from the Apple website:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    (The current build of the 11.1.4.62 installer was changed a few days ago, which fixed the bulk of the reports of MSVCR80.dll/R6034/APSDaemon.exe/Error-7/AMDS-could-not-start trouble ... but the build number on the installer was not changed. So we're trying to make sure you do the reinstall using a "new good" 11.1.4.62 installer instead of an "old bad".)
    Does the install with the new copy of the installer go through properly? If so, does that clear up the error message?
    If you still have the same error messages cropping up, then try the procedures from the following user tip:
