IPhone 4 unable to install new apps or updates

everything in "Waiting" state. Tried signing out of App Store and back in. Tried various accounts. Restarted. Shut down all apps. On the latest iOS. Tried 3G and Wi-Fi. Deleted stuck "Waiting" installs and tried one-by-one. 8.5GB free space on phone. Out of ideas. Anyone else?

Solved - see https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4074945?start=15&tstart=0
My iphone was downloading a video (iTunes "12 Days of Christmas" freebie!), and although the "swiping across" technique mentioned in the above didn't work, I somehow deleted the download, and then resynced in iTunes - and everything installed fine (and is working)!
So much for free stuff....

  • My Nokia Lumia 620 won't install new apps or updat...

    Greetings,
    My nokia Lumia 620 is stuck at "pending" when I try to install new apps or update existing apps on my phone from the store. I even tried unistalling and reinstalling but still was stuck at pending. That's it no error message, no crashes. it just waits for ever and it never starts downloading
    I have a nokia Lumia 920 and it works fine with the same sittings and downloads from the same Wi-Fi - What's wrong and how do I fix it?
    I'm not a forums guy but I posted this because I couldn't find my problem anywhere on the internet, so I'm really desperate. I need the phone fixed ASAP.
    Thanks.

    take a look at this
    http://www.nokia.com/ie-en/support/product/lumia620/troubleshooting/
    if the battery is completely dead, just keep the phone connected to the charger, and wait about 30 mins before trying to turn it on
    and fyi, if the charger is not powerful enough, lumia phones can drain the battery even if it's connected to the charger
    also dont forget to take a look at this:

  • Cannot install new apps or updates

    I keep getting "your apple id has been disabled" message every time I try to do upates or install new apps. My apple id is working because I can sign into itunes with no problem. Can somebody help me please?

    Try here:
    Why do I see the message "This Apple ID has been disabled for security reasons” when I enter my password?
    This message means that someone was unable to sign in to this account multiple times. The Apple ID system will disable the account to prevent unauthorized people from gaining access to your information. You'll need to follow the instructions on My Apple ID to reset your password.

  • Does anyone else's iphone not let them download new apps or update them?

    I can't update any apps or download any news ones. Some of my apps are starting to crash, safari, facebook etc. I haven't restored it yet, I will once I get everything backed up. I just want to know if anyone else is having this problem too

    Hmm alright then. my phone also stopped vibrating as well so i would miss calls and txts all the time. But recently everything has been working, i can download apps and update them and the vibrate came back. i have no idea what was up with my phone. it apparently has a mind of its own haha.

  • IPhone 4 won't install new apps.

    Will only update old apps. When I select to install and enter my iTunes password, it flickers and goes from "installing" back to "free" or "buy". I've tried restoring and that did not help. This problem began after installing iOS 6.

    Click on store and choose authorize this computer to authorise your store purchases to your computer, or you can go into your apps on your itunes then double click one and it will ask to authorize and you just have to put your apple id in. and then try syncing the apps again, this worked for me. Except I have a problem where i downloaded an app on my computer because my iphone internet couldnt download it for having too many MB and says it is loading on my iphone but the app is downloaded on my computer and still won't sync as long as it says it is "loading" on my phone.

  • Apple's "Installer.app" hangs before installing new apps or updates

    I can't install any software that uses Apple's proprietary Installer.app. The version I have is Version 3 (276). It always hangs as soon as I click the Install button, resulting in the Spinning Beachball of Death. My only recourse is to Force Quit. Repairing permissions hasn't helped. The VISE installer has no such problem. And hours of digging thru Apple support and other online forums have been fruitless.
    Why can't I address this problem directly to an Apple support tech??? I'm not getting any customer service at all!

    Take a look in the Console to see if any useful error messages are being thrown (Applications / Utilities / Console -- select "All Messages").
    Does it get as far as asking for your Administrator password to do the install? If not, then you may have something screwed up in your Administrator privileges. There are quite a few threads here discussing variations on that theme in Leopard. Are you having any other Administrator privilege issues (e.g., making System Preferences changes)?
    The installer uses a number of plug-in bundles. Any chance one off those might be missing (or moved) or corrupted?
    In addition to repairing permissions, have you tried the other basic maintenance steps of resetting PRAM and also doing a Verify Disk in Disk Utility?

  • After upgrading iphone 5 to iOS 7, I cannot install new apps

    After upgrading iphone 5 to iOS 7, I cannot install new apps.  I get the message that I must first read and agree to iTunes terms and conditions.  I read the terms and conditions online, but I don't see a way to agree when I install or re-install iTunes 11.1.  I can update existing apps ok, though. 
    Anyone have this problem and find solution?

    Delete & ReInstall the App Store...

  • TS1702 None of these steps work, also tried hard reboot. . Cannot update or install new apps. Just says waiting. Internet data working fine. My iPhone works fine. This is all on my iPad

    None of these steps work, also tried hard reboot. . Cannot update or install new apps. Just says waiting. Internet data working fine. My iPhone works fine. This is all on my iPad

    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, reboot the iPad and then sign in again.
    Settings>Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. 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.
    Go back to Settings>Store>Sign in and then try to update again. Tap one waiting icon only if necessary to start the download stream.
    Sometimes resetting all settings can help as well. Settings>General>Reset>Reset all settings. If you do that - you will have to enter all of you app and device preferences again.

  • Unable to install any apps..did reset, reboot, restore but nothing works

    unable to install any apps..did reset, reboot, restore but nothing works

    so you want to restore as new not from a back up and then try to download a application. the purpose for this is the fact that if you restore from a back you then your just putting the save soft ware back on your phone. and if soft ware is the issue then this step just got voided out. if that doesnt work or you did do that then it can be something hardware related and it can be replace through apple for free if your under the hardware warranty
