My iPad will not update.  It has said "waiting" for days

My iPad will not update.  each time it says "waiting" and is installing or updating for days

Are you trying to update the iOS or install app updates?
Have you tried turning the iPad Off and then back On?
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.
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.

  • TS3274 My iPad will not update apps.  It states it is installing but it will not complete the installation.  This has been going on for more than 24 hours.  What do I need to do?

    My iPad will not update apps.  It states it is installing but if never completes the installation this has been going on for more than 24 hours. What do I need to do?

    Try a reset:
    1. Hold the Sleep and Home button down (together) for about 10 seconds
    2. Until you see the Apple logo (very important)

    If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.1. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.

    If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
    Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily.  Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).

  • HT201412 My iPad will not boot up, has a think logo running but will not start. Any ideas?

    My Ipad will not boot up, has a think logo running all the time...any ideas. Also had trouble upgrading to ios.6 the computer is not the original one I synved my ipas too. It started OK then failed. Now it will not connect at all to computer...comes up with an error.!!!

    Try DFU Mode Restore. Open iTunes on computer, connect iPhone to computer. Hold both Home and Power buttons for exactly 10 seconds, release Power button, keep holding Home button until iTunes recognizes iPhone in Recovery Mode. Usually about 20 seconds time. Restore iPhone Firmware.

  • HT201413 my iPad will not update error 9 keeps coming up

    Hello Nicky Mifsud,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    For more information, take a look at:
    Resolve specific iTunes update and restore errors

    Configure your security software
    Related errors: 2, 4, 6, 9, 1000, 1611, 9006, 9807, 9844. Sometimes as a result of this issue, a device might stop responding during the restore process.
    Check your security software and settings, which can block ports and prevent connection to Apple servers during update and restore.
    Have a nice day,

  • My iPad will not update 2 of apps

    My iPad will not update 2 of my apps. It shows the bar on them saying they need to load so I click on them and it says this app can not be uploaded at this time. I'm not sure what the problem is. I have tried to upload them on different types of internet and it will update all my other apps except those two.

    Have you tried updating them one at a time? If that doesn't work, then update them in iTunes on the computer you sync with, delete the apps from your device, and then sync the updated ones to it via iTunes.
    Cheers,

  • My iPad will not update apps.  I did try all previous suggestions.

    My iPad will not update apps.  I did try all the suggestions.  When I click on the rapidly growing number of updates, the screen stays blank.  Nothing is being downloaded.  I have worn out the re-boot function.

    This is a problem that many users are experiencing now. Apple is working on a fix.
    According to Fly150 in another discussion, this will work.
    If you want to update the Apps while waiting for Apple to fix Updates:
    1. Go to App Store
    2. Select Purchased
    3. Select All
    4. Scroll down to find the Apps showing update
    5. Select update on the Apps
    This should update the Apps and get rid of the update count in App Store. Apple needs to fix this, because you cant fix it. It is a workaround only.
    you can update your apps in iTunes on your computer and sync the, to the iPad as well.

  • IPad will not remember my client card number for online banking since ios7 update

    iPad will not remember my client card number for online banking since ios7 update

    Generally speaking, your bank would use a cookie to store your card number (bad) or to associate your browser with its list of saved card numbers (less bad). If you have cookies cleared after each session, then you may be blocking this feature.
    To check your cookie handling for your bank's site, when you are on the site, right-click the page and choose View Page Info, then Permissions. Under "Set Cookies" most likely the "Use Default" checkbox is checked. The actual setting will appear in gray.
    If the actual setting is not Allow, then uncheck "Use Default" and check "Allow." This will take effect the next time you start Firefox or if you clear the site's cookies on the Security tab (View Cookies button) and then revisit the site.
    If the actual setting already is Allow, then some other feature (e.g., clearing history when you exit) or program (e.g., a security suite) is clearing the cookie.

  • During an app update it froze and has said waiting for 2 days and I am unable to open or delete

    During an app update it froze and has said waiting for 2 days and I am unable to open or delete. How do I recover my app?

    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. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

  • HT6058 HELP My ipad will not update

    Will not update. Keep getting retry error message

    You can try resetting your iPad by simultaneously pressing and holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple Logo. This can take up to 15 seconds so be patient and don't release the buttons until the logo appears.
    Try again to see if the problem persists. If it does, try updating using iTunes on your computer.
