Is anyone finding their apps are stuck while updating since switching to iOS 7?

I updated my software to iOS 7 on 9/19/13. Since that time I have 2 apps that are stuck updating and I cannot delete or pause them.  This is a real issue.  I need to use these apps and it may be draining my battery as they just keep sitting there with "waiting" underneath them.

I should've mentioned above that I have an iPhone 5.

  • Apps are stuck on updating on Iphone 4s

    Well, I hope someone out there has a foolproof solution to this problem.  Because frankly I'm stumped.
    I have Iphone 4S - 32GB - Black - iOS6 .
    Lately I have had issues updating my apps.   For some reason some apps get stuck on updating.  They stay stuck on the update page.  Doesn't ever resume on its own.  These solutions I have tried:
    Restarting the phone
    Resetting the phone
    Deleting the app (Settings > General > Usage > Storage) and trying to reinstall
    Airplane mode (on/off)
    I deleted the app(s) in question and tried to reinstall them again and it still says its still trying to install.   Any good solutions to fix this problem?

    Well I THINK I found the solution.  This solution worked for me.  Cannot guarantee it will work for everyone.
    Make sure you are signed in with your Apple ID.
    Go to the App Store
    Find the stuck app in question ( it will have a progress bar in the icon) and Say "Installing"
    Touch the icon of the stuck app (in the app store)
    It will send you to the location of the stuck app on your phone
    Touch the icon of the stuck app (If in a folder, open it first)
    If all goes well, the status should change to "Waiting" then "Downloading/Installing"
    Then it should download as normal.
    Again, this solution worked for ME.   Feel free to try if you have a similar issue.
    This solution isnt very obvious and I purely found this out by accident.  
    I really hope Apple addresses this issue because if you have Alot of apps (over 600 installed) on your phone it could take forever if you have alot of stuck apps. 

  • TS3274 Apps are frozen while updating for ipad2

    I updated all and the apps are frozen and not updating. The update bar hasn't moved

    Hi all
    Just after posting my question I saw on the "more like this" box on the right here a topic that answered my concern.
    What a relief !
    Thanks to "stevejobsfan 0123 in sunny California. His suggestion to another member was , I quote "Try a reset:
    Hold the home and power buttons at the same time until the Apple boot logo appears.
    Worked a treat
    Safe no losses.
    Once the ipad2 restarted there was a message saying the apps (which were frozen mid install), could not be purchased at this time , please try again .
    Whew !
    My first time here , great forum thanks community

  • Apps getting stuck while updating

    Hi,
    My one app got stuck. It still shows "waiting" and does not show what app it is. Not able to delete also.
    I was updatign the google app as goggles has come and now the same thing. It is stuck up with waiting sign and does not proceed further. I cannot delete it nor update it futher.
    I also tried to sync the iphone with laptop but still the same issue.
    Any idea what needs to be done here.

    I have been having the same problems & rebooting did not work.  What cured it was going to the app store icon & scroll to the bottom & click on your apple ID.  sign out, then sign back in.  That got mine back to working properly!

  • On my IPad I cannot update or install any Apps. Ive tried turning off my IPad. It did not help. The Apps are stuck saying Waiting....

    On my IPad I cannot update or install any Apps. I've tried restarting and that did not help. The Apps are stuck, darkened and say Waiting.... Please help me figure this issue out.

    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.

  • TS2486 My mail.app got stuck while accessing mails in outbox. I was using ipad 3.Any advice?

    My mail.app got stuck while accessing mails in outbox. I was using ipad 3.Any advice?

    Okay, I figured this out.
    A podcast in iTunes was not downloading.
    Apparently, ios5 will only download one thing at a time and so it sets up a queue that must include all and any downloads: apps, songs, podcast, all of it. So, a tip to anyone with this problem look through all apps that have a queue of downloading items and clear them till you can get your system running again.

  • 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.

  • Parental Controls - How do I find what apps are starting for an account?

    I turned on Parental Controls for my kids and when they log into their accounts they get a series of dialogs saying "You don't have permission to run <APP>, with Done, Always Allow and Allow Once buttons. Things like GoogleUpdater. None of these apps are in their startup list in System Preferences. How can I find what apps are set to startup for each account?
    - Thanks

    Here's a tip from another user that may help you:
    "I was running into the same problem trying to find apps for my daughters Iphone 3g running 4.2.1.  What I did was go to the Itunes store through Itunes on my PC, and then went to the bottom of the main page and clicked "Browse." On the browse page I selected, App Store, Games (category), Kids (subcategory), and then a list of apps appears below. 
    I sorted by date (oldest to newest) by right-clicking next to "price" and choosing "release date" on the menu that pops up. The date created field will then be showing, which you can click on to sort newest to oldest or oldest to newest.  I downloaded a bunch of free apps starting from the oldest (by name - you don't have much else to go on).  Of the 30 or so I added to my Itunes, about 27 of them were compatible with 4.2.1. 
    This is defintely not a perfect way of finding apps, but after spending a lot of time searching for a better way this was the best I could come up with."

  • HT4528 i update to IOS 7, but my apps are stuck in the app store, how do i tranfer to my screen?

    hello
    i uudated to IOS7, my apps are stuck in the app store, how do i tranfer my apps to the screen

    Try this:
    Close all open apps by double-tapping the home button, then swiping up and off the screen with the app window (not the smaller icon).
    Reset your device: hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until the screen goes black and you see the Apple, then let go. (No data loss)

  • My apps are not being updated when pressing the update all button. It just says installing and no update is being done., my apps are not being updated when pressing the update all button. It just says installing and no update is being done.

    my apps are not being updated when pressing the update all button. It just says installing and no update is being done., my apps are not being updated when pressing the update all button. It just says installing and no update is being done.

    Must be serious because you have stated the problem 4 times now.
    Here are a number of things that you can try and maybe one of them will help.
    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.
    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, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
    Settings>iTunes & App 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>iTunes & App Store>Sign in and then try to update again. Tap one waiting icon only if necessary to start the download stream.
    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.
    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.
    You can also try going to the App Store, find an app that needs an update, tap on the app icon to bring up the description page, then tap on install that way, rather than using the Update option from the app updates screen.
    And ... You can always install the updates in iTunes on your computer and then sync them to the iPad.

    I have 5 apps that needed updating. I updated and now apps are "frozen" in updating stage. They won't even delete after I hit delete button. What to do?

    Reset time, press and hold both the power and home buttons for 10-15 seconds till the Apple logo appears. Release both buttons. Wait 15-20 seconds till your iPad starts on it's own. Check the downloads.

  • While updating my Ipod to ios 5 an unexpcted error occured and now my ipod is not recognized by itunes or my computer and all data has been removed. What can I do

    While updating my Ipod to ios 5 an unexpected arror occured before my data was restored and now Itunes will not recognise my Ipod. My Ipod is also not seen as a device in My Computer but asks me to install drivers. What can I do?

    - First I would remove and reinstall all the Apple software using the following and then restoring the ipOd.
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
    - Next see if manually placing the iPOd in recovery mode will allow a restore. For recovery mode see:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
    - Next try DFU mode:

    - Next try another computer/cable to help determine if you have a computer or iPod problem.
    - If the other computer works and yours does not see:

  • ITunes freezes on backing up iPad while updating the software to ios 8.

    iTunes freezes on backing up iPad while updating the software to ios 8. Please help asap

    Hi tac.sharma,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I know circumstances that keep you from updating your iPad can be frustrating. In this situation I would make sure your iPad is backed up to the iCloud, just to make sure your information is safe. After you have that backup, I would suggest following the steps in the attached article to help you through this update process with iTunes. 
    If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    Best regards,
    Joe
