My applications on my iphone 4s are stuck on 'installing'

everything on my phone is up to date, but certain apps are stuck on 'installing'. I have tried a hard restart, signing in/out of itunes, and trying to pause the app to start again and NOTHING IS WORKING.
Can anyone help?

Let's get your camera switched back, GardenLova. Did you notice this started recently after downloading a new application that uses your camera? Have you powered your phone off completely? Please try resetting your Network Settings. http://vz.to/1n4s3dq

Hi tried to update several apps at once and now they are stuck on installing.I can't open or delete them. Any suggestions ?

Here are a number of things that have worked in the past that you can try. If you already tried something in here, just ignore it.
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.
If all else fails, download the updates or the apps in iTunes on your computer and then sync the content to your iPad.

App updates are stuck on installing, won't update

I have 10 apps to update. They are all stuck on installing. Have rebooted,doesn't do anything. I can't use the apps either. any suggestions?

Make sure you are getting a good internet connection.
Double-tap the Home button (bottom center of the iPhone), to get the current open Apps. Press and hold on one till they start "shivering" and you get the red "-" sign on them.
Such the "-" on the ones you are having troubles with to close them. And press the Home button again to exit the "shiver mode".
Then reset your iPhone (Press and hold the Home and Sleep (Shut Down) buttons at the same tim, till you get the Apple logo). This will not cause any data loss.
When it has finished restarting, open the Apps you were having troubles with. The iPhone should recognize an incompleted upgrade and restart the download/upgrade.
Good luck.

Apps are stuck

I have a couple apps that are stuck on installing. I cannot press them to delete. I have removed and re-installed while connected to iTunes..nothing. I have deleted apps from iTunes and re-downloaded..Ipad syncs, says it's installing, blue bar on app goes w/install but still ends up the same. I am at my wits end.

Did you try rebooting the iPad and then see if the apps will finish installing or see if you can delete them?
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.

All apps are tied to the apple id that it was used to purchase or download the app.
did you use a different id to buy the app?
you can change id, settings - appstore - apple id - log out and log in with correct id.

It sounds a lot like your phone was hacked or jailbroken to unlock it prior to your trying to update it.
If that is the case, it is nowpermanently bricked.

The iPhone 3G is Not Compatible with iOS 6...
It also appears that your phone may have been Hacked and / or Jailbroken...
If this is the case... you are out of luck... Because...

What are you talking about?
Either restate the question, or post in your native language. "So i request the concerned authority to provide me RESTORE PASSWORD to improve the status of my iphone 4" Is unclear at best.
If you're having some kind of problem, then explain what it is including the exact text of any error messages you're getting.

You will need to delete that iCloud account on the device, then create a new one and login with the alternate AppleID.

Pictures sent to my iphone 6 via text messaging are stuck in downloading phase

Pictures that are being sent to me via text messaging are stuck in "downloading" phase. I can not receive any pictures on my new iphone6. Is anyone else experencing this?

Found a great post that had a bunch of possible solutions (over at https://uk.answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20131217195803AAOe6WV )
Lucky for me the first one worked--went into settings->messages and turned iMessage off, waited a few seconds, turned it back on. Images came through just fine after that. We'll see if it lasts.

Hello Andyoneill9,
It sounds like you are trying to restore your phone but keep getting an errror message 3194. I want to recommend the troubleshooting steps from this article named:
Error 3194 or "This device isn't eligible for the requested build"
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4451
Resolution
Important: If you see one of these messages and need help updating or restoring your iOS device, Install the latest version of iTunes and try to update or restore again. After that, follow these steps if you need more help.
Check your "hosts" file
After you've updated iTunes to the latest version, you can check the hosts file to be sure your computer can contact the update server. Use the numbered steps below if you’re on a Mac.
If you’re using a Windows computer, follow steps in this Microsoft support article, noting that resetting the hosts file will affect software services that rely on hosts file redirects. If you're using Windows on a business computer, consult your IT department to be sure applications will still work correctly after resetting the hosts file.
In the Finder, choose Applications > Utilities.
Open Terminal.
Enter this command and then press Return:
sudo nano /private/etc/hosts
Enter the password you use to sign in to your computer and press Return. You won't see text appear in the Terminal window when you enter the password. Make sure you use a nonblank administrator password.
Terminal will display the hosts file. Navigate using the arrow keys and look for an entry containing “gs.apple.com”.
Add the # symbol and a space ("# ") to the beginning of the gs.apple.com entry.
Press Control-O to save the file. Then, press Enter when prompted for the filename and Control-X to exit the editor.
Restart your computer.
Try to update or restore your iOS device again.
This is the first troublehsooting step to try, so there are additional things to try if needed you need them.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Regards,
Sterling
