Has anyone else experienced and resolved this problem?

-power off device and back on
-reset
-airplane mode on then off
- setting>general>reset>reset network setting
-sign out and back in to app store

  • Ipad apps are greyed and say waiting, but can open them from app button

    The apps were reloaded after the ipad was reset, but only about 1/3 loaded. The rest are grey, and say "waiting" under them. In the app icon, they all show up as loaded, and can be opened, but from the home screen, nothing happens when the app is tapped.

    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.

  • TS1702 most of my apps are stuck on 'waiting' have tried everything possible from trying to delete them and re-booting ipad, nothing seems to work...is there a solution to this problem which seems that quite a few users seem to have....

    most of my apps are stuck on 'waiting' have tried everything possible from what I read however nothing seems to work for me, does anyone know the right way PLEASE as it's very annoying....

    When I open emails with PDFs I click on the attachment (doing this all on my iPad) it gives me the option to "open in iBooks", I accept then after that the document is sucked into my iPad but I can't do anything with the PDF after that.  Where is the actual file on my iPad? Why can't I email or send these PDFs to my cloud (Dropbox)?
    It's like once they go into iBooks they're stuck forever.

  • IPad apps stay stuck on "loading" upon installing

    When ever I purchase a new app from the apple store it won't install but says it's downloaded the icon is usually blackened and says loading under icon or nothing at all.
         - I have tried restore from back up
         - I have tried resetting the device
         - I have the latest iOS Installed
         - I've tried setting up as new iPad and tried loading apps .
    All with no success.  Apps still stuck in loading and/or blackened. Please advise if this could bee a hardware issue? Everything. Apps tend to crash on my device including all apps, some don't start at all.
    Please see images for reference of issue.

    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.) No data/files will be erased.
    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.

  • Just updated I pad 2 and some of my apps are dim and say waiting Is that something that takes a long time or does it mean something didn't work

    Just updated my I pad 2 and some of my apps are dim and say waiting. Is this something that takes a long time or could something be wrong?

    That means they are in the queue to be updated.
    If everything is working it will depend on the speed of your wifi connection as to how long it takes.

  • Apps are stuck at waiting

    I uploaded the new iOS 6 and now my apps are all stuck at waiting and I can't do anything with them

    Hi Tom,
    You are right. Unicode font have been used for many years.
    We use Burmese Unicode fonts name Zawgyi Unicode font to view our language on web.
    We use special apps (Mogok, Myanmar Browser lite) for viewing on iPhone and iPad as this font is not embeded.
    They are OK to view all our language sites without problems prior iOS 6.
    Now with iOS6, the problem comes.
    Safari engine rendering for web pages causes those apps frozen.
    If we type email with this unicode font, it is frozen.
    Frozen means it freezes for 10 seconds on every action triggered from your touch.
    Imagine how annoying!
    Not even that font, Apple approved Myanmar Unicode font also have the same issue.
    I have tested it already.
    Here is the web link (http://chawsufoodfriends.blogspot.com) you can browse on iOS Safari and you won't see the language display but you will see what happening. If you download the apps that I have mentioned, you will be able to view the fonts.
    I can send you test email and see the problem in Mail App as well.
    This is not only happening on my iPhone and iPad...I have called my friends, and all have the same issue.
    So, it is clearly A BIG BUG.
    I love Apple products. But now I am very very frustrated how they manage, how they release products and softwares.
    I have never seen it is released recklessly.
    I don't find "Attention to Detail" anymore.
    We are now holding back and reviewing for our next gadgets.. Thank you Apple.
    Thanks

  • Why are my apps are stuck on waiting?

    i was trying to update twitter and instagram and then they both got stuck on waiting! ive already restarted my settings, turned my phone off then back on, signed in and out of my apple id, ive held down the sleep and home button to restart my phone or whatever and the apps are still stuck on waiting. im trying to stay away from restarting my entire phone but thats what the conclusion is coming to for me. Someone please help me find a resolution to my problem!!!!????

    I know you didn't want this answer but unfortunately if you have tried everything.
    It is time to restore your phone.
    However, you can back up your phone to iCloud and then after the full restore, when it asks how you want to set up your phone, choose, "Restore from iCloud Backup." Those may not be the exact words it says but it is close to that.
    Once you restore from iCloud backup, all your apps and settings should be downloaded to your phone.

  • HT1430 Apps are stuck waiting, what do I do

    All my apps state that they are waiting.
    What do I do to clear this up?

    Hello MJHof,
    Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with the apps that are stuck on waiting.
    I recommend tapping on the app to change the status to Paused and tapping once more to initiate the download of the app as suggested in this featured discussion:
    App updates won't download on my iPhone, they just say waiting.

    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Best,

  • My apps are stuck on "Waiting..." when they have been downloaded after iCloud backup restore

    My apps were downloaded from my iCloud backup after restoring and updating to iOS 7 and it didn't work quite good. Many apps got stuck "Waiting...", but they're not downloading at all. I can access them through the app store purchased apps section or through multitasking. They work perfectly but the icon doesn't. I tried to delete them, re-download them, I tapped the app icon and nothing worked. What can I do?

    By the way, I've tried to sync it again with iTunes and it doesn't sync the "Waiting..." apps. Every time I plug my iPhone and try to check its apps, iTunes stops working for some unknown reason. I forgot to mention that it's an iPhone 4S. Can anyone please help me? This is getting pretty annoying, considering WhatsApp is among these damaged apps and I use it quite a lot.

  • I had to restore my iPhone and now some of my apps are stuck waiting they are not listed in usage what can I do
