I have two apps that won't download just sitting there

MMy grand daughter was trying to download two apps at the same time. She can't remember what they were. They are just sitting there in a grey colour. I can't get rid of them either I have an ipad2 I shut my iPad off last night & turned it on this morning they are still there.

You can also try to delete the apps. Try holding down on the icons until they wiggle and if the X appears on the app icon, tap on it to delete the app. Tap the home button when you are done. If that doesn't work, try deleting them in Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Manage Storage. Find the app, tap on it and tap Delete App in the next screen.

I have two apps that are always downloading...

I moved my apps from my MBA to my new iPhone and two of them (Yelp and Zillow) show downloading but they are available to use on another screen. What is the deal?

If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.1. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.

If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily. Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).
Tip 2 - If you are updating using wifi, locate your iPad close to your router so you don't get a wifi dropout (can cause update corruption).

Iphoto won't down load because My mac is a lion 10.75 I need 10.10?how do I download iPhoto, and other apps that won't download?

iPhoto app won't down load because My mac is a lion 10.7.5 I need 10.10 ? how do I download iPhoto, and other apps that won't download? They were uninstalled by mackeeper (with me as an unwitting accomplice Thanks
I've reinstalled lion os 10.7.5 and got the app store app back.
Even though iPhoto etc are purchased by me in app store, theres no way they'll download.

then
reinstall from the original source
Could be
1 - the restore disks that came with the computer - if it came with CDs and you do not know where they are then contact Apple to see if they can be replaced
or
2 - the iLife DVD that you purchased
or
3 - the app store - log in under the Apple id used to purchase the software or to set up the computer - look under purchases - you might have to unhide or accept the Application first

When I have turned on my MacBook Pro it just sits there at the intial apple screen and doesnt proceed to the screen where you can sign on - any ideas

when you restart the machine, make sure you uncheck the "reopen windows" check box, and see if that helps.

Since updating to ios 5.0.1, I have 9 apps that won't update. Any suggestions?

I updated to ios 5.0.1 and since then, I have 9 apps that are no longer usable. I get the message "Unable to Download Application", lists the app and said it could not be downloaded at this time. Tried several times over several days to retry with the same result.

My recommendation would be to go to iTunes on the computer, under LIBRARY find the APPS tab and at the bottom it should say 9 Available Updates. Click on this, then you can update them from iTunes. To get them on your phone, go to Settings > General > iTunes Wi-Fi Sync (if you have iCloud set up).

How do I fix Apps that failed to download, just says "waiting"

I have three apps that are on screen with a grey icon and a download progress indicator. They all say "waiting" and have been like this or 2 days. How can I fix them?
Any help appreciated, I'm new to iOS and I'm stumbling a bit.
Thanks.

Try a couple things.......first, reboot your iPad. Press and hold BOTH the power and home buttons at the SAME tiem for at least 10 seconds (ignore the red slider to shut down) until the Apple Logo appears, then let go of both buttons and your iPad will restart.
Sometimes, the App Store on iPad can get confused. Try downloading a free app (you can delete it later if you don't want it) and then see if that get's your waiting apps to download.

Cp 5.5 - after i publish my cp5.5 project, the swf (or exe) won't play, just sits there

Hi all, i've been struggling with this for 2 hours and can't figure it out, hopefully it's something basic I'm doing wrong. I have a project that works fine in Preview mode in captivate (5.5). After i publish, though, to either Flash or exe, and try to view the swf (or exe), it doesn't play. it just sits on the first slide, the audio that should begin doesn't begin and the slide doesn't progress. No way to get the file to start playing. I was working on other projects all morning, that all published fine, the only difference between this file and the earlier ones is tht this one has different scoring settings and a slightly different skin (fewer nav buttons). Windows XP. And as i said, i have never seen this before and have published alot of projects successfully of late. Any suggestions? i thought maybe the file name had gotten to long, with my directory structure, but moving it up a level didn't seem to help.
Thank you for any help you can provide.

Repair Permissions with the Disk Utility.
Download and run FCP Rescue (might have missed a preference file with that removal app)
Uhm....do the Hokey Pokey?

None of my ipad apps will update. They just sit there in the "waiting" status.

I am trying to update my apps as your store suggested. Sadly they just sit here in "waiting" state for hours. On top of that, my Apple TV refuses to let me access the iTunes Store or any of my purchases. I'm fairly irritated with apple over the last 3 days and really don't appreciate having to go through 4 logins and a bunch of confusing screens before being allowed to randomly provide feedback without even knowing where I ended up.

TS1702 After downloading iOS7, I have an app that won't open and won't delete. How can I get rid of it?

I have tried re-downloading, but don't believe the app is available as I cannot find it.

Similar issue:
Recently updated to ios7 and then updated some apps. A few of them have, theoretically, updated. I can only open them from the App Store by clicking open (where it used to say install and now it says open). However, the actual app on the home screens are shaded and say "Waiting..." as if they are still currently downloading. It has been two days. I tried installing a free app (as some have suggested), this did not work. I tried turning phone on and off. I cannot delete these apps form my phone because when you hold down to get the jiggly apps and then the little "x" to click to close/delete the app, these apps don't have the "x."
Any thoughts/suggestions??

I have an app that is half downloaded or waiting and I can't delete it also did a reset to factory setting and now other apps won't download to phone. Why and how to fix this

apps won't sync or download to phone after phone reset it tries and just at the end it says error. and one app is half downloaded to phone and can't erase it.????

Yes, I did. It wouldn't finish downloading in I-Tunes either, just as it did on my Iphone. Any other suggestions?

I purchased an app that won't download onto my iPod

I recently downloaded the app "Scribblenauts Remix" off of iTunes, using an iTunes giftcard. It downloaded perfectly. But when I try to sync my iPod, it says it did not transfer because it is not compatable with my iPod. I don't understand because the app description said that it is compatable with exactly what I have (iPod Touch 3rd generation) and it says it works on iOS 4+, and I'm currently running 4.2.1 . So it should work, but it isn't. Do you know what's wrong/how to fix this problem. Any help will be greatly appriciated. Thanks xx

Downloaded 80s music but still have 43 tracks that won't download

Why have 43 tracks off this download not loaded

Hey 270964,
Thanks for the question. Let’s check to see if you can resume the interrupted downloads:
iTunes: How to resume interrupted iTunes Store downloads
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1725
If your download was interrupted using your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
1. From the Home screen, tap the iTunes app.
2. For iPhone or iPod touch, tap More > Downloads. For iPad, tap Downloads.
3. Enter your account name and password if prompted.
4. Tap the blue download arrow to resume.
If you can't complete the download on your iOS device, you can download it in iTunes on your Mac or PC and then sync it to your iOS device. You can also transfer purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer.
If the above does not resolve your issue, you can also download the items from your purchase history:

How do I remove an app that won't download

I tried to download an app called piictu. The app will not download and I cannot remove it. When I try to download from iTunes it tells me there was an error and the connection was reset. How do I get rid of the bloody thing!
Here is a pic showing no "X" to delete the app from either my phone OR iTunes, it doesn't show up in the list of apps on my phone either - http://db.tt/gn09ZID
*Note: Downloaded app at 4.3.3 - updated to 4.3.5 with no effect.. It's still there..

Yes, I deauthorized all computers, reauthorized the primary. re-synced, restarted, updated iOS.. you name it.
Good news though, tried downloading the app from another network/ISP and she downloaded successfully. Making the removal process possible! Thanks for your suggestions mate, i appreciate the quick responses.
