Itunes ipad app download STUCK help!

What started as a minor annoyance has evolved into a major hassle.
I attempted to download Sherlock Holmes in HD the other day totally overlooking the fact that there is definitely far to little space remaining on my 16 gig ipad to actually download and store the movie..
I only realized this was the case after getting a request to enter my itunes password about every 10 minutes. I didn't realize why it was asking me and it was starting to drive me crazy..!! What I now realize is that I think with a ending download the itunes store is trying to get me to authenticate myself to restart the download.. But I still have no room on my iPad.
When i load up the itunes app it indicates with the red '1' on the downloads that i have a pending download,.. The big problem is..
There is no way to abort it!,
The app lists the download with "download error" and there is a little "pause" icon next to the download. Then there is a button hat says restart and when i click it it counts up "110 bytes" then "232 bytes" then some sort of download error is listed.
Does anyone know how to just delete/abort/kill this download attempt...? It seems as long as it exists in my itunes app download queue I will be constantly asked for my iTunes password each and every time it auto initiates the next a attempt to download it..
Help?!? Anyone have any ideas???

Thanks for all the suggestions. I just ended up calling apple and the tech person placed a call into billing and the rental was removed from my account and voilà! The pending download disappeared from my iTunes app on my iPad moments later.. Problem solved.. I can go back to loving my ipad and not feeling like it is harassing me to constantly log into my iTunes account!!

IPad apps stay stuck on "loading" upon installing

When ever I purchase a new app from the apple store it won't install but says it's downloaded the icon is usually blackened and says loading under icon or nothing at all.
     - I have tried restore from back up
     - I have tried resetting the device
     - I have the latest iOS Installed
     - I've tried setting up as new iPad and tried loading apps .
All with no success. Apps still stuck in loading and/or blackened. Please advise if this could bee a hardware issue? Everything. Apps tend to crash on my device including all apps, some don't start at all.
Please see images for reference of issue.

Try this - Reset 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. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased.
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.

After installing ios6 I now have app downloads stuck in waiting mode. I went to down in App Store but could not find a way to disable them. How can I do this. I never had this problem on ios5. I'm using an iPad 3

Try downloading in iTune (computer) and sync to iPad.

App download stuck 'waiting' message

I have spent too much time trying to enable iPad app download to go beyond the message 'waiting'. I have connected to iTunes, deleted app, done full iPad reset, but the app software download will not go beyond 'waiting' message. The main culprit is iBooks, but I also have problems with Skype and Evernote. Please help!?

POSTED IN INCORRECT FORUM - RE POSTED IN iTunes FORUM NOW - STILL UNRESOLVED.....

App downloading stuck on "waiting"

Every time I try to download an app from my iPad, it remans stuck on "waiting". This does not happen on my iPhone (I share the same iTunes account).
I tried resetting network settings, rebooting the iPad, but the issue is still there. I have no pending downloads on iTunes and every other topic I read on this forum didn't help at all.
Can someone help me out?
Thanks.

If this was not one of the topics that you read on the forum, give it a try. There is no guarantee that it will work, but I have seen it work for others in the past.
Try signing out of your account and restart your iPad.
Go to Settings>Store>Apple ID and tap the 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> Apple ID and sign in again.

IPad App Downloads

Hi my mom just recently bought a new iPad 3 (The new iPad). Well it is his first time to have an apple product, so for short she doesnt have any itunes/app store account. So she want me now to download some games and apps through his iPad. Well my problem is she doesnt have an account and she doesn't want to create one yet (Because creating account needs some credit card stuffs) so can i use my account instead to log in to his iPad app store then download some apps for her? Will i have any problem or interference or some sort? Because i really dont want to use my account to download some apps that wasn't really my gadget. I solely use my account for my ip4 apps. Please help me thanks!

What you are suggesting will become a pain for you after a while. It can be done, but I suggest having your mom set up an iTunes account without a credit card. She will only be able to download free content, but it will save you some headaches in the long run.
This article explains how she can do this.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534
This is very important .... She must download a free app first in order to start the process. If she already has an Apple ID - and you make it sound like she does not have one yet - she will have to sign out of that account first in Settings>Store>Apple ID.
When she tries to download the free app- she will be prompted to create an Apple ID as part of this process. She should be able to then create an ID for free content.
If you decide to sign into your account in order to buy apps for her, she will always have to use your ID and password in order to update those apps. Apps are always tied to the ID that was used to buy them.

App download stuck on waiting on iPhone 6 plus when the app is purchased on another device

iPhone 6 Plus on AT&T running iOS 8.1.2. When I purchase or "get" an app on my macbook, the app shows up on the 6 plus, but hangs in "waiting." The app, however, will download perfectly on my iPad mini. I have tried restarting the device normally, and restarting it while pressing the home and sleep buttons (hard reset?), resetting network settings, signing out of iTunes and back in, and even setting up the phone as new. The problem occurred before and after doing a complete restore and setting it up as new. The only solution that works is removing the app while in "waiting" status, and initiating the download from the 6 plus itself. I don't know if this is a bug that will be resolved in 8.2 or if I am missing something. (automatic downloads are on and set for both updates and new app downloads, wifi is working) There are no other problems with app downloads on the 6 plus; auto-updates work perfectly. This issue only happens when the download is initiated on another device.

Ditto!
I too have the same problem. Any luck for you?
I tried everything possible so far but nothing happened.

Why are my new app downloads stuck in waiting?

I know there are quite a few posts on this subject, unfortunately none seem to solve my problem.
Problem:
When I download apps from the app store, they sit "waiting" for days.
-Happens regardless of one or 5 apps in the queue.
-Wifi is working, I'm not using 3G for this.
-Tested on 3 wifi networks.
-Tested deleting all pending apps and reinstalling from app store.
-I'm not near my pc to try the syncing to itunes method and would be a bit disappointed if that was the only solution.
-4xs tried to restart phone.
-Twice restarted (hold home button and power button 10+ secs till Apple logo appears).
-tried to reset network settings.
None of these worked. Does anyone know what I should do or try?
My setup is iPhone 4s, iOS 5.0.1 and won't let me update any further so that must be as current as it gets. I got the phone about 2 weeks ago and have downloaded about 46 apps and deleted several. I noticed this problem while trying to download/ install Find My Friends.
In advance, you're awesome for helping, thank you thank you!

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.

ITunes HD movie download stuck at 0%

I've been waiting days for Cars 2 HD to download. Standard def and iTunes extras file downloaded fine. HD just stuck at 0%. iTunes support after several attempts have just washed their hands of the situation and told me to telephone support and effectively pay money to resolve it! And they blamed my router, which has worked fine for other downloads!
Anyone had the same problem lately? I saw this problem on posts that were a couple of years old on Apple TVs.

Thanks for the reply. You are right. In the description of the movie Four Lions under Language is states
Enlish (United Kingdom) (Stereo)
I actually thought all HD movies were in at least 5.1. I guess I have learnt something.
Thanks.

ITunes U App downloaded, but unable to subscribe

I downloaded the iTunes U app on my iTunes v 11. I am still unable to subscribe to and download lectures from iTunes U.
I plan to view these lectures on my windows 7 pc. Are there any suggestions for how to fix this? Do I need to submit and enrollment request before I can subscribe?
Thanks

I fixed my own problem.
The lecture series was in Podcast form. I had the default Parental Control settings on my iTunes viewer; which disabled Podcasts and internet radio. I simply had to enable these features and I was able to subscribe and download the necessary lecture series.

ITunes Store App Crashes! Help!!

Installed the iOS 7 GM on my iPhone 5 last week and everything was working fine. Yesterday, I tried to open the iTunes Store app and it crashes every single time. It didn't happen until yesterday when the update went live, so could it just be overloaded servers? It opens on my iPad 3 (also with iOS 7) but just crashes on my iPhone. Is anyone else experiencing this?

But still, it's the current version right? Does it matter when I installed it? I plug my phone into my Mac, launch iTunes and it tells me I am running the latest software. If there were no updates between the GM and the public release then isn't it essentially the same thing?

Ipad video app is stuck - help??

Within the video app, our ipad got stuck within one video and we can't get back to the video menu. We're stuck on Dora! Any ideas? thank you so much!

Try searching for the name of one of your videos on the iPad's spotlight search screen - swipe your first homescreen to the right, type in it's name, and if it finds it tap on it to see if it plays.
If that doesn't work then try closing the Videos app completely : from the home screen (i.e.not with the Videos app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Videos app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
A third option if the two above don't work is a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

Itunes movie hire download stuck processing

I have downloaded a rented movie from iTunes on my iPad2 and it now seems stuck 'processing' - any ideas other than wait?

Hi RichardM58!
As a basic troubleshooting step, try simply closing the Video app on your iPad then reopening it, as shown in the following article:

HT1657 Iphone iTunes rental movie download stuck on 45.5mb

Why is it that you just want to download a film and it won't do it. It is easier going to the DVD rental...

Wifi. It has actually downloaded now, but that was hours and hours later, and I was frustrated I couldn't watch it at that time... It is sooooo frustrating (maybe I'm just impatient!).
There doesn't appear to be a refresh/ stop function- *big oversight Apple*. I tried quitting iTunes, turning the phone off and on etc and nothing helped.
It's rather like sending an iMessage that gets stuck and takes about 20mins, whereas a simple SMS text is gone in a second- maybe they like frustrated customers?
