Ipad apps stuck updating

I have an ipad2, while it was updating the applications it lost it's internet connection. Now that the internet connection has been restored it won't restart updating, all the applications that were updating now say "waiting..." and won't start. I try to download a new application and it has the same problem. I can't seem to get the applications to update. Of course the applications won't run stuck in an "waiting..." state.

I don't think that was it. I deleted all the applications which were trying to update and performed a restore from an backup. Then I was able to find in the purchased application store the applications I had deleted and re-installed them just fine. Something went wrong with the download process when it was interrupted and it was unable to re-start. Looks like an OS bug to me.

When I click on my iPad App Store Updates, the wrong apple ID is showing up. When I go under settings the correct one is displayed under the app store.

Does the wrong Apple ID show up with a particular App or all Apps?
Apps are linked to the ID they were purchased with, so if you have Apps purchased with different IDs you may need to logout with one then log in with another to update the second one.
We've also seen were "free" Apps are downloaded from the Internet, but they are not really free but instead were just hacked by a different user so need to be updated with that account. That can prevent updates. If so, it's best to delete the bogus app and get a good copy from the App Store.

HT1689 iPad App - stuck downloading a deleted app...

I deleted an app from my iPad. Now my iPad is stuck trying to dowload an update and I can't delete it. Posts have said to delete the app but since I did prior to the update that won't work... Thanks!

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.

Phantom iPad apps, phantom updates!?

Hi all, one of my friendly colleagues cannot install updates to her iPad 2.
These apps do not appear on her iPad (note the screen capture where she searches unsuccessfully for the OverDrive app which appears on the "Updates" screen capture).
We've tried re-downloading these apps but they still won't appear on her iPad.
Yet these are listed on her App updates screen. Nothing happens when she presses "Update".
This is driving us crazy! Any help would be mucho appreciated.

I think this is a pretty serious bug in iOS 6.x. When an app makes a release for iOS 7.0-only, you get repeated prompts to install the updated app, but then you cannot and so your IPhone is going to annoy you FOREVER.
One solution is to go into iPhone > App Store > Updates > Purchased, and look for apps that say, "Update". When you try to install the update, it will fail saying it's for iOS 7.0. If you want, go ahead and delete that app from your phone and the annoying phantom updates reminders should disappear, but you won't have the apps, either.
I for one think that you should be able to turn off these idiotic reminder prompts on the home screen icon. I don't want iOS 7.0, I don't want to search with Bing, I don't want to have micro-tiny fonrts thare are UNREADABLE (Settings Notifications), I don't care how many podcasts I have (Podcasts Notifications), and I don't want to see this bug with iOS update (App Store Notifications).
APPLE LET US TURN OFF ICON NOTIFICATIONS FOR EACH APP ON THE HOME SCREEN !!!

IOS8 podcast app stuck updating library

I transferred my girlfriends old iPhone 4 (iOS6) for to a newer 4s. Did a backup, restored new iPhone 4s that was operating iOS8 and installed from a backup of the old phone.
Everything seems OK except that the podcast app says updating library for about 30 seconds then the app crashes. I have seen solutions that suggest uninstalling the podcast app then re-installing, but I don't think you can uninstall the podcast app in iOS8.
Any suggestions?

I was in the same boat and just tried something that worked.... (iPhone 4S, iOS 8.1)
First I bought another podcast app and tried to import my library, which didn't work. Hopefully buying another app has nothing to do with my podcast app working now
So I started searching for my podcasts by name and couldn't find one. Went to Safari and looked it up and tried to subscribe via the website...suddenly my Apple podcast library re-opened for business.
Hope that helps someone!

Wrong dates shown in iPad app store updates list

The dates listed for the app updates in my iPad's app store are wrong! They used to show the date of each app's most recent update, but now they show each app's ORIGINAL availability date. My iPod, on the other hand, doesn't have this problem. What's the deal? When looking at the updates list, the "updated" date is much more useful than the app's original date. Any idea what's wrong and how to fix it?

I talked to Tech support they told me to go into my time and date settings change to manual setting and set the date and time forward to a random time (several months ahead worked for me) updates will clear then go back to automatic time. It is bizzare but it has worked for me. I certainly do not want or need to see all my updates I hope Apple will change this silly feature.

Ipad apps not updating either auto or manual

Any attempt to update apps on my ipad3 fail. appears to start then stops and returns to "x" number of updates waiting.
Not having this issue with IPhone
Have done both soft and hard reset & synced with ITunes.
Based in UK

First check the server status:
Apple Services, Stores, and iCloud
http://www.apple.com/support/systemstatus/
Try connect to wall power and make sure your Wi-Fi is connected to the Internet.
Also did you try updating using computer iTunes then sync to your iPad?

My ipad apps wont update. When i press update it just opens the app.

Whenever i press update it just opens the app. The update all button is not also available

Try turning it off for 20 seconds and then on

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.

HI,

Ipad app stuck on waiting

I downloaded an app from the App store and the icon "waiting" appeared. Shortly after I downloaded it a message popped up saying that this app is not compatible. However, instead of disappearing like it should, it stayed on my home screen as if it was waiting to be downloaded. I tried deleting it but the app would not be deleted. I tried restarting the iPad many time but it still would not download. I also tried syncing with iTunes but it is still, just no longer with the word "waiting" under it. Also, when deleting the app, it refers to it as "" rather the the name.

Hi pnd97,
It looks like at this point, you may find more information by using another one of Apple's support resources - https://getsupport.apple.com/GetproductgroupList.action.
Cheers,

Is there a known issue with the apple app store update page for th ipad?

Is anyone else getting the ipad app store update page problems?
When i go to that page on my ipad i get an error " cannot connect to itunes store " but im allowed to still browse the store. Just cant update my items through he update page..... I do have full bars on my wifi :)

I'm not sure that either of these will work, but you can give them a try.
Sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
Settings>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>Store>Sign in and then try to update 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.
Here is the Apple help article for more advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting steps. You might want to look at this.
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3297
I don't think that this will be the issue - but it can't hurt to look and make sure.
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.

App Store update is not working. Just see a white screen

Does anyone know why my iPad App Store update has stopped working?

Read this on iLounge posted by ahMEmon
Go into Settings > General > International > Language and choose British English, then hit the Done button. The screen will go black with a comment about Language Settings. Be Patient, especially if you have a lot of apps. Let it run it's course and Then open the App Store again. Voila! Upgrade list is back. And it stuck when i changed back to plain English. He doesn't know why. I don't either. But I am now a happy camper. Worked on my 3rd gen iPad and iPad Mini.
Hope it works for you!

Hi bunjamin,
just go to BlackBerry World, and update all your apps including BBM.

The iPad 1 can only be updated to iOS 5.1.1. This is unlikely to change.
The apps you have will continue to work and there are still many apps which run on iOS 5 (or even earlier iOS levels).
