IPad app won't download and can't delete it

An iPad app I have previously installed had an update which I went to install as usual.  The download  is stalled on "waiting" and won't progress.  I can't delete the app because when I hold it down it wiggles but the "delete x" won't show.  The App Store keeps telling me there's an update but the app just won't move on from waiting.

Have you tried a reboot? Press and hold the home and power buttons simultaneously until you see the Apple. Release the buttons and let the ipad restart. Many times this clears out whatever is hanging the app.

  • IBook won't download and can't delete

    I recently downloaded iBooks. Today I downloaded an iBook and it won't download properly, always freezes. I want to delete it but seems you can't because it hasn't downloaded. I deleted the iBooks app but on reinstallation it keeps trying to download the ibook. Help please!

    Same thing happened to me!  Flippin' annoying!  I can't get them to download, iTunes won't let me delete them.  But everytime I connect my iPad or iPhone, it pops up and wants to download them.  Then it sits for hours trying to download and nothing happens, except locking up my computer and rendering it completely useless.  I just want to delete the two books out of iTunes permanently but I can't find out how to do it.  I would like some help too!

  • IPad app won't download

    iPad app ,won't download suggestions

    Hi IAndrewD,
    Several issues have encountered this issue. We've seen it in some of our reviews on the app store and on our support email list ([email protected]). So far, everyone who's contacted us has been able to successfully update after verifying that their network connection was working and restarting the download.
    Please try the following:
    1) Make sure wifi and/or cellular data are turned on
    2) Test to be sure your internet connection is working by opening safari and browsing to a website (like www.adobe.com).
    3)  Single tap the app’s icon on the home screen and it will pause the download. Now go back to the iTunes Apps store, switch to the “Updates” screen and click “Update” to resume the download.
    4) If this doesn't work,  go to Settings -> iTunes & App Stores and tap the Apple ID to sign-out. Restart the iPad, go back to Settings -> iTunes Apps Store and sign-in. Tap the waiting icon to update the app.
    I'd also be happy to work with you on our support email alias or by phone if you email [email protected]
    Thank you!
    Pat

  • HT204266 Anyone else having problem with updates?  My apps won't update and can't download any new apps.

    My phone won't update the apps or let me download any new ones. Been going on for few days now.

    Many developers are releasing updates today because tomorrow Apple is shutting down iTunes Connect (the developer backend to iTunes) for the holidays. This could be affecting things, but I doubt it.
    You can try resetting your iPhone by simultaneously pressing and holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple Logo. This can take up to 15 seconds so be patient and don't release the buttons until the logo appears. Try again to see if the problem persists.

  • Ipad games stuck on "download" and can not remove

    I have downloaded 2 games from the apps on my ipad 2 and the message says to connect to a computer as they are over 20 mb. I synced my ipad with the computer and now the games are fully loaded on the desktop but will not load to the ipad. I can't remove them as they  are frozen in "downloading" on the ipad.

    Hey Angela,
    Turn the iPad off and then back on: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4057
    Try to delete them now if they didn't go away already
    If the issue persists and your iPad is running the latest version of the OS, restore: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
    Hope that helps.

  • Why don't my emails on iPad show up on desktop and can be deleted

    When emails come into my iPad and desktop I can delete from one or the other but not bot at the same time.

    "pfauslled?"  I'm afraid that I can't understand your message at all, so I'll just answer the question in the subject line.  If you're using an iCloud calendar on both devices, it certainly should show the same events.  If you created a whole bunch of events offline, it's possible they haven't been pushed to iCloud yet...  Open the Calendar app when you are online and let it get fully synced, on both devices.  Also, tap the Calendars button in the top left corner of the screen in the Calenar app, and make sure that the same calendars are visible in both places.  If you don't see the same calendars, go to Settings > iCloud and make sure Calendars is turned on on both devices.  Oh, and if one of those devices has not been updated to iOS 5, do that.

    Unless you have a copy of the iPod backup file from the previous computer installation you are out of luck. If yo have that file move it to your computer and restore the iPod from that backup.  Otherwise, you will have to restore the iPod to factoery defaults/new iPod and lose all your app date. That is the way it is since the iPod sees the computer as a new computer/iTunes library.  That backup file is located:
    Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
    Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    Windows Vista and Windows 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\

    My apps from iCloud won't download and I can't find them on my purchases

    If you don't see them on your purchased list, make sure that you are signed in with the Apple ID you used to purchase them in Settings>iTuens & App Store.  Then redownload them by opening the App store app on your phone, tap Updates at the bottom, tap Purchased at the top, then tap Not on this iPhone at the top.

    Hi. My device won't update iOS in settings. It won't download any new apps for me. (It is connected to the internet). The latest app I tried to download appears stuck! Has not completed its  download, won't open and I cannot delete it. What can I do? I purchased the product online a year ago. I'm not sure of the exact date... I think it was late November 2012.
    Any help appreciated.

  • I tried to download a Cisco webex application.  The app did not download and I also can't open the app.  The problem is that I can't get the webex screen to close, it is stuck open and I can't get back to the app home page!

    I tried to download a Cisco website application.   The app did not download and it is stuck on the window where it has the option of open.....it will not open.  The problem is that I cannot get the window off the screen and I can't get back to the App Store home page!   Help! Thanks

    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 if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • Certain music pieces and apps won't download from my iPod to iTunes on my MacBook

    I want to put what is on my iPod on my new MacBook, but certain pieces and apps won't download because my computer isn't authorized (so it will delete it from my iPod if I sync), but when it asks me to authorize it it uses an old Apple ID that doesn't exist anymore and to which I do not have access. Any ideas how to fix this? I just want to be able to sync my iPod with this computer without worrying about losing anything.
