Ipod Touch Apps Won't Finish Downloading

I started to download a few game apps on my ipod touch, and it was going fine, but then the it stopped and the status said 'waiting', and didn't change for a while and then the rest changed to 'waiting' also, so i tried to download another app to see if it works, but this time its just stays 'loading', with the black bar still all black.i can connect to the internet with no problems, but the apps won't continue to download.
i was wondering if anyone knows what happened and more importantly how to fix this. if you need any other information just tell me, and i will try to answer to the best of my ability.
Ipod Touch 2.2.1

try this....go to your settings and get to your wi fi - turn it off.....then wait a minute and turn it back on...try it then ...I waited 15mins on the phone for a support agent to tell me that. How frustrating! Hope it helps! but my problem is that is gave me internet access (which I was having problems with) and my app downloaded successfully, however, it wont pull up now. It just sits as a pretty icon and we cant use it! So what, now another 15minute wait to find out ***???

    Did you look at this previous discussion that I provided in my first reply?
    ios 6 and macosx 10.5 on a pre intel...: Apple Support Communities
    It say how to use a iTunes version 10.6.3 with OSX 10.5.8 and sync with iOS 5.
    OSX 10.6.8 is a paid upgrade for $29 but requires an Intel Mac. That last OSX for a Power PC G4 or G5 is 10.5.8.

  • Ipod touch 4g won't finish installing a few apps

    I have an ipod touch 4th generation, 64gb -- works great except I recently downloaded/installed a few apps (through the app store on the device)... Most of them installed just fine... But I still have a few that won't finish installing... The status bar looks like its at or very near 100%. They just won't finish...
    I have tried turning the wifi off and back on.
    I've tried logging out of app store and back in (on the device).
    I have tried syncing with my computer. I've also looked for updates through itunes (on my computer) and performed a backup successfully.
    None of those things have fixed my problem.
    I can play games, access the internet, use other apps, heck even move the unfinished installed apps around on the screen. They just won't finish installing nor are they deletable.
    I won't reboot my ipod because in the past when I have had this it put the ipod into a endless boot loop (brick mode) and need to restore to get out of it.
    Suggestions? Thanks!

  • Iphone/ipod touch apps won't load on ipod touch

    I have tried to download apps that indicate that they can be used on iphone or ipod touch with 2.2. My ipod touch is updated but the apps won't load. Any ideas?

    i also have the same problem, i came across this topic hoping to find an answer. luckily i had just solved my problem. this happened to me twice... i resolved the first problem by restoring to factory setting which is not a good solution cause all my FREE downloaded apps were erased too. so i have to download again.... lately it happened again.. same problem.. but i have resolved it by updating my ups in app store... HOPE this wont happen again.... cause its really bothersome since there arent so many wifi spots here... programs i had are mostly free so maybe its one reason for this problem.... the last app i used b4 the problem was a pdf viewing app... hope this helps...

  • ITunes App Won't Finish Downloading. Help please.

    I have been trying to download "The Bard's Tale" game app from iTunes for a couple days now. The app is 1.3gb in size. The download will start, but then it stops at 362.5mb and says "err -3259 The connection has timed out". I have the latest version of iTunes, the latest iPod update and a solid internet connection. I have also tried disabling my firewall completely with no success as well as disabling any antivirus software (which I don't really even have).
    Also, get this: I tried downloading the same app on a friends computer (using the same wifi internet connection) and it still stopped at 362.5mb. I have tried everything. Other apps will download just fine on iTunes but this app won't. And it can't be the size because the last thing I downloaded before this was a 777mb iPod software update. Any ideas at all? Thanks!

    Hi Do a Reboot Press & hold power button & menu button hold both down until you see Apple Logo you will not lose any data. Cheers Brian

  • IPod Touch apps won't open if they use WiFi

    Ok, so my iPod touch is about a year old and yes, I do have the new software. Every time I try to use any application that requires Wifi (Words With Friends, even Safari) it will drop my wireless connection and the app will crash. Apps that don't require WiFi are unaffected. I rebooted my iPod touch and they began to work, but now, they do not work any more. Any ideas?

    Second Gen iPod Touch?
    And have you restored your device from iTunes or just rebooted it from the device?

  • IPod Touch apps won't install.

    So I updated my iPod Touch to the new OS 3.0 thing. & ever since then, I can't install any new apps. It loads & everything but once it says "Installing...", it just stays there. It never fully installs.
    WHAT THE ****.

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Going to Settings>iTunes and App stores and sign out and sign back in.

  • Ipod Touch Apps Won't work now.

    So I re formatted my computer and reinstalled Itunes. I wanted to ad some music to my Ipod so I had to re sync ALL my music since it had no recolation of my apps.
    Now my applications work, they'll boot up and then shut down. It did this before and I had to re download them all.
    I know I can go back and download all the apps one by one but just curious if there is a faster way to get all the apps I paid for back without having to go one by one?
    thank you

    hang on!
    crashing apps is fairly common, two usual solutions:
    1. do a reset (hold home and power button at the same time until the silver apple comes up)
    2. download another app

  • My iPod touch 4G 8GB, lets me download apps on iTunes, but when I go to my iPod, and then apps, the entire selection is grey and won't let me click my new apps to add to my iPod. What can I do?

    My iPod touch 4G 8GB, lets me download apps on iTunes, but when I go to my iPod, and then apps, the entire selection is grey and won't let me click my new apps to add to my iPod. Usually I just restore my ipod and re-download everything, but thats time consuming, and after I unplug my ipod from the cord connected to my computer, I can replug it right after and this will pop up again. I'm getting tired of doing this.
    Like I said, it will let me download the apps off iTune, just when I come to my apps page on my ipod, it won't let me add it to my iPod. I can't download it straight from my ipod either, but iTunes doesn't work on my ipod, and when I update my apps, when they're in waiting they never move. What can I do?

    I would say that you are not connected to the iTunes library you last synced with. You can only sync with one iTunes library. If you connect the iPod to another computer/another iTunes library then you get what you see.
    You can only manually manage music and videos among different libraries, not apps.

  • Why can't I download Free iPod Touch Apps from Apps Store w/Shopping Cart?

    I have an 8GB iPod Touch (original model) with the current 2.1 software. I also have iTunes v. 8.0. The behavior I am seeing started about 3 weeks ago and continues with these updates - it was not like this when I first downloaded the 2.0 software and began installing Apps.
    I prefer to manage my iPod Touch applications in iTunes. I have my iTunes account set up for a Shopping Cart, not 1-Click Buy. This is because for Music, I prefer to add songs I will want to my shopping cart, then buy them when I want to.
    When iTunes 7.7 first came out with v2.0 software, even though I have a Shopping Cart for my iTunes, I could "buy" a Free App just by clicking on it, and it would be automatically downloaded and added to my Applications folder on iTunes. Then, when I synced with my iPod Touch, it would install the app on my iPod Touch. This was true for either new Apps or upgrades to existing Apps.
    For the last few weeks, every time I try to update even an existing App for my iPod Touch, if I do it through the iTunes store, I get the following message:
    "Applications cannot be purchased with Shopping Cart.
    Your preferences are currently set to buy using Shopping Cart. Application purchases cannot be placed in Shopping Cart: they must be purchase by 1-Click. Select Buy if you'd like to purchase [NAME OF APPLICATION} by using 1-Click and your credit card will be charged immediately."
    The [NAME OF APPLICATION] is filled in with whatever application I am dealing with at that time.
    Why is it that even with a Free application, and an update for it at that, it will not let me obtain it with iTunes if I have a Shopping Cart? So far, I have solved the problem by doing all of my Applications management on my iPod Touch. I use the iTunes Store on my iPod Touch to search for and download the application. Then, when I sync, it places it in my Applications folder on iTunes on my PC.
    This is very strange behavior for iTunes. Why would it want to charge my credit card for a Free Application?
    Many thanks.
    Joe

    Hi Steve,
    Thanks for your reply. I do have a valid Credit Card on the account. In addition, I also have about a $5 credit from an iTunes gift card in my iTunes account.
    In any event, I'm actually NOT purchasing anything. All I'm trying to do is download a FREE App for my iPod Touch. It simply won't let me do it.
    This is extremely frustrating.
    Best regards.
    Joe

  • IPod Touch 3 won't update apps

    iPod Touch 3 won't update apps. When I respond to the notice of an available update, the icon dims and a "waiting" message appears under it. It will hang like that until I delete it and reinstall the new app. I had another problem that has been resolved when I tried to get more episodes of a podcast, I ended up with 11 of them in the queue that wouldn't ever finish. They too would just hang there. I had to delete them all and get them through iTunes. I don't know how to upgrade the apps from iTunes though. Why is this happening just since I upgraded to ios 5.0.1?

    I suppose that's debatable.
    My iPod does ocassionaly take a few seconds to carry out a command, but since it is such a powerful device, capable of so much, I'm prepared to wait two extra seconds.
    (I have 2nd generation iPod Touch with iOS 4.2.1 on it.)
    By the way, since your question has no connection to the one asked by the original poster, it would have been far wiser for you to create your own thread. That way, you are actually more likely to get responsess to your question.
