Iphone app updates won't download. They are paused and draining my battery

I went today to download an update to one of my apps. Itunes asked for my password which I put in and everything was okay. Now there are about 40 apps that have been deleted that are showing that they are trying to install an update. Only they are paused and none of them are downloading and it is draining my battery. I don't want them to download to begin with, it was only supposed to be one update for an app. I am able to use the other functions on my phone, such as calls and texts. How do I fix this so either they all download or I get them to stop downloading?

I have done that a few times. I have even held down the top button and the bottom button at the same time and noting changes.

    Hi, Bvpai.  
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.  
    I understand that you are unable your Apps via the App Store on your iPad.  Here is the troubleshooting article that I would go through when experiencing this issue.
    Troubleshoot issues on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    If you haven't been able to connect to the iTunes Store:
    Make sure your date, time, and time zone are correct in Settings > General > Date & Time. 
    Note: Time Zone may list another city in your time zone.
    Make sure that your iOS software is up to date by tapping Settings > General > Software Update(iOS 5 or later) or connecting your iOS device to iTunes and clickingCheck for Update on your device's Summary page.
    Check and verify that you're in range of a Wi-Fi router or base station. If you're on a device with cellular service, make sure that cellular data is turned on from Settings > General > Cellular.
    Note: If connected to cellular data, larger items may not download. You may need to connect to Wi-Fi to download apps, videos, and podcasts.
    Make sure that you have an active Internet connection. You can check the user guidefor your device for help with connecting to the Internet.
    Make sure that other devices (portable computers, for example) are able to connect to the Wi-Fi network and access the Internet.
    Try resetting (turning off and then on again) your Wi-Fi router.
    If the issue persists, try troubleshooting your Wi-Fi networks and connections.

  • I have songs I purchased on my phone that won't download they are just greyed out

    I purchase a few songs from Itunes and the won't download on my phone and when I go to try and manually up load they are grayed out.  I can go to itunes and if will let me play the song but not download it.  Does anyone know how to fix this?

    Hello sb2776,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities. There are two things to try. The first is to Power down and Restart the phone.
    Restarting your device
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider.
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
    The second would be to go back into the iTunes app  > More > Purchases  > Music., then click the cloud icon to download the song. The following article will provide additional assistance.
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

  • Iphone app update won't go away, now app not working after sync

    Using Iphone Appstore to update aurora feint, progress bar gets to 75% then pops up "Unable to Downlaod Application. Aurora Feint The Beginning will be available for download when you log in to the iTunes Stone on your computer.
    So I log on to iTunes store download the update, plug in phone and sync goes ok. Unplug phone and the Aurora Feint updater icon is still left on phone, and the Aurora feint app is now gone. So I remove app from phone, resync, update icon still there, I reinstall app, resync, same issue update icon is there, but no app. I have rebooted phone, tried a restore, I can't get rid of Aurora Feint updater on iphone, and I cannot see aurora feint app on iphone.
    Is there ANYWAY to manually remove the Aurora Feint Updater from iPhone?????? Everytime I run it I get the same error message.

    Ok so if I hold down an icon (in order to move icons around) and press (x) on the installer it went away. Had to then resync and remove app from phone, and then reinstall app back to phone.
    That sucked.... had a brain **** about the wiggly remove icon bit. But still I would have thought that the updater and the app would be recognized as two different objects by itunes.....

  • How do I listen to the songs I purchased on my iphone but now for some reason they are grey and I cannot  open or play them....?

    iphone help

    I have the syncing option unchecked, that is why I do not understand why it is trying to sync.
    I am also trying to play songs off my iPod via iTunes.
    I also don't understand why I need to have the same songs on my PC if they are on the Shuffle. My songs are on my external hard drive... which I don't always have turned on, or with me for that matter. I certainly don't want to be hauling a hard drive around with me wherever I travel to. I want to be able to copy a small number of my favourite songs onto the Shuffle so I can carry the Shuffle and the laptop around with me and listen to them.
    I need to be portable!!!

  • I downloaded IOS7 on my iPad, when I use any of the apps i cannot cancel them since they are running and consuming the battery. I was able to cancel before

    Before i was able to use an app then cancel so the app is still not running, so the battery would not drain. Since I downloaded the IOS7 how do I stop the apps from running when I am done with the app.

    Apple support contact information is here - http://www.apple.com/contact/
    Apple has never offered general email support, nor have they ever offered official email through this or any other forum site.  Basic Apple tech support has always been via telephone support.  Just the way they operate.

  • My new downloaded apps won't open they are in the purchases section of my App Store but won't open?

    My new downloaded apps won't open they are in the purchases section of my App Store but won't open?

    Try:
    Reset the iOS device (no data will be lost). Press and hold the Home and sleep/wake buttons until the Apple logo appears. See if the problem persists after the device reboots (it might take a while).
    Download any free app, and then see if any of the other apps, after being re-downloaded, will open.
    Good luck!

    If you open the Kindle app on your iPad, then in the bottom right-corner should be an 'i'' button - touch that and you should then get a pop-up with the top option being Settings, which should then allow you to link it to your Amazon account and let you download any kindle books that you've already bought.
    Edit : corrected above to 'bottom right-corner'
    There is also help for the app, including 'Managing Registration', on Amazon's website :

  • I downloaded the ios6 to my iphone and my moms phone  Now they are syncronized and I lost my contacts. All my phone numbers have emails in them but no phone numbers. Now whenever I get or send a text it shows up on her phone. How do I reverse it?

    I downloaded the ios6 update for the iphone to my phone and my moms"s phone. Now they are syncronized and I lost my contact telephone numbers. Now when I get a text or send  text it shows up on my mom's phone. I asked for help from the people at the ATT store and had no idea how to help me. That is crazy that they don't even know anything about their own products! This is EXTREMELY frustrating. Did you create a software that cannot be reversed or corrected? How to I restore my phone to the way it was? I am being told it can't be done. I have been an ATT customer for 8 years but I would love to go to Verizon right now. Pleae let me know how to reverse this and get the phones unsynced.

    If you share an Apple ID, both of your phone numbers should be linked to that ID. You should be able to use your phone number as well. My wife, my daughter and I all share an Apple ID for purchases, and we each text from our iOS devices using our own iPhone numbers.
    When iOS 6 came out, you were able to link the phone number with your Apple ID to use for Messages and FaceTime. You will need to sign out of messages on all devices and then start the process all over again.
    Take a look at this.

  • I updated to IOS 5 and apparently didn't get my apps backed up. So, they are now lost. Is there any way to restore them?

    I updated to IOS 5 and apparently didn't get my apps backed up. So, they are now lost. Is there any way to restore them?

    Are they backed up to your computer? If so you can go to the "Apps" tab in the main window of your iPad and resync them there.
    OR
    On you iPad go to App Store > Updates and the first tab should be something called "Purchased" (if you have already entered you Apple ID) and you can re-download from there.

  • My apps say they are "waiting" and they have been for days updating.  They must be stuck.  Not all of them but about 10 that ia am waiting on.  Does anyone know what do do about this?

    My apps say they are "waiting" and they have been for days updating.  They must be stuck.  Not all of them but about 10 that ia am waiting on.  Does anyone know what do do about this?

    Just to add a couple of more things that you can try ... Along with what TMM suggested ....
    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.
    You can also try updating from the app description page rather than the Updates Tab. Do a search for the apps that needs to be updated - when it appears in the search - tap on the app icon. Then tap on Update or Install - whatever happens to appear next to the app icon - in the description page that pops up.
    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.

  • Error while downloading iPhone app updates

    Yesterday I tried to download two iPhone app updates. The app store showed the two updates that were available, but when I tried to update them, it kept giving me an error message saying that my iTunes store request could not be completed. I am up to date on iPhone, iTunes, and OS X software, so I don't know why it did this. I had no problem downloading the updates directly to my iPhone. Any ideas? I did catch my wife a few weeks ago plugging her iPhone into the Mac while I was logged in (we have separate user accounts on the computer). I immediately ejected it from iTunes and unplugged it. I didn't notice any changes after that, either in my iTunes library or on her iPhone. Did this make any changes that I may not have noticed? Also, this past weekend I purchased some music in my iTunes account and had no problems downloading it and syncing it to my iPod.
    Edit: I guess I should have seen the Error 5002 thread. That is what mine is doing. Itunes account set for 1-click. No problem on iPod, just on iPhone apps.

    I'm having the same problem. The download finishes and then it says an unknown error occurred. It says it has something to do with my network connection, but I don't think that's the problem.
    Did you find a solution yet?
    I tried to reinstall iTunes but it didn't work.

  • I can no longer download apps that I buy.  They are on my computer, they will no longer sync onto my phone.  Yes, I DO know how to do it.  They no longer will go onto my phone.

    Did some searches, but did not come up with anything regarding your specific issue (the original one, the grey 'waiting' problem is quite common). If no other ofrum users chime in, it is indeed time to contact Apple / iTunes Store support.
    If you have not yet one so, Try to Reset your device.  Press and hold both the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears (ignore the Slide to Power Off that shows up first).
    You could also try to re-download one or two apps, just to see if anything changes. Log in to the iTunes Store, go to the Purchases section and download from the list of past purchases or free apps.
    Sorry I wasn't of better help. Good luck.
