IPad 2 app updates frozen on waiting

Saw update notices in app store on iPad 2. Until today downloads worked fine. Today, two attempted updates are stuck "waiting".
Going back to app store shows "update" (like I didn't try download). Turned pad off and on and still find the two individual apps "waiting."

No.
Also, note that I am doing this with a wireless connection at a hotel in Mexico. Though connection is a bit slow, I am sendin/receiving e-mail just fine. One of the apps I am trying to update is the s.f. Chronicle, which I was reading earlier this a.m. Could it be that somehow the hotel is blocking downloads (how could it differentiate?)

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 Updates are Stuck Waiting

All of my app updates are in waiting mode with no progress in days. I touch one (Keynote) and the phone shows "Waiting..." and then the message comes up "Unable to Download Application." "Keynote" could not be downloaded at this time.
1) I am on WiFi, browsing works fine, have confirmed connected.
2) Does the same thing on all apps.
3) I hit update all over a week ago, and every app is not not accessible because it thinks it is being updated, even though stuck
4) Power Off/On many times
5) Hard Reset (lock button + home button until Apple logo)
I had this problem on my iPad 2 recently as well. I reset:
1) Reset All Settings -- did not fix
2) Erase All Content and Settings -- this did fix it.
The problem is that "Erase All Content and Settings" forces me to re-download all my apps (200 or so), and none of my folders are preserved. I have to then spend hours re-building all my folders, or have my apps randomly on 7 or 8 screens. I would really prefer a solution where I do not have to go to this length to get it fixed.
Any better ideas?

Any other ideas?
If I backup my phone, then "Erase All Content and Settings," will a retored backup put all of my apps back into their folders?

App update froze in waiting mode won't let me do anything with app, what now?

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.

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.

It is nothing that you are doing wrong.
Many people are having this problem for the last couple of days. This is a problem that Apple has to fix. If you look around the forum, you will see many, many discusssions about this and they have been going on for a few days.
According to Fly150 in another discussion, this is a workaround - for the time being.
If you want to update the Apps while waiting for Apple to fix Updates:
1. Go to App Store
2. Select Purchased
3. Select All
4. Scroll down to find the Apps showing update
5. Select update on the Apps
This should update the Apps and get rid of the update count in App Store.

Ipad shows APP updates

My ipad shows updates, however they will not download to my iPad. Everything else seems to be working fine. Any suggestions on a fix?

If you are getting the blank app update screen, many people are having this problem over the last couple of days.
According to Fly150 in another discussion, this will work.
If you want to update the Apps while waiting for Apple to fix Updates:
1. Go to App Store
2. Select Purchased
3. Select All
4. Scroll down to find the Apps showing update
5. Select update on the Apps
This should update the Apps and get rid of the update count in App Store. Apple needs to fix this. It is a workaround only until then.

App update frozen

After receiving an update to an app on my iPhone, the update process is frozen with the app update showing half complete, but never finishing. How do I cancel the update?

What App is it that you are trying to update or is it the new iOS 7? If iOS 7 update is hanging please see:

IPad Web App updating issue

My iPad is showing 2 web app updates in the queue. However, when I click on 'Updates' in the App Store, no updates are showing. Any ideas how I can both get the updates to show and then to download the updates?

There are countless posts about this. There's a problem at Apple's end and has been so for several days.
However, I have no trouble updating using itunes on my computer and later syncing to my device.

App updates stuck on "waiting"

I have tried to update multiple apps on my ipod touch, but every time it goes to start downloading it just stay on "waiting." No matter how long it is on the app still just stays on waiting. I restarted my device, but I do not believe that the app actually updated correctly, and it does not show up anymore in my available updates. How do I get the updates to stop stalling on waiting forever?

No, that is not the case. These are apps that I have updated before. There is no reason for the update to stay on waiting for 5 or more minutes. Installing is what takes the longest and I'm not talking about that. I click "update", put in my password, then the app just goes to waiting. It is just sitting there on my device doing nothing. This is a new problem I have found that many other users are also experiencing. I am not letting my device disconnect, these apps are not downloading, they are just freaking WAITING!

App updates in a waiting state for 3 days....!!!

Since upgrading to IO 6, I have several App updates and all have been in a waiting state for multiple days. Not one has loaded.

The credit card on my accoutn has expired , so I have to enter another credit card information in the Settings>General > Store .
Now I am able to install the apps , my compalin is that I should have got a message about the credit card while trying to install the apps , rather than that apps just disappearing without any message .

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?

I downloaded iOS 6.0 to my iPad and app updates are taking days to install. ?

After upgrading third gen. iPad to iOS 6, many apps are now wanting updates installed. Perhaps I checked too many at one time, but for three days, some have not installed, and there is no option to close the task or restart the updating. How can I fix my app updating dilemma?

Could you have any podcasts or other background downloads that might have gotten paused, holding the rest up? That's a common cause of lengthy downloads/paused downloads.
