New Apps or updates not downloading. It says "waiting" and will not download on 4s

I have a new 4S. I tried to update my apps and they're just stuck on "waiting". Will not load. Help.

No messages pop up.
I am able to access the app store, browse and send/receive mail. so my internet connection is fine. Also my ipad works just fine over the same network.
The app is a very small file. (A flashlight app for iphone)
Hope that helps.

  • Bought an app (Photo Transfer) that continues to say waiting and not open

    Bought a Photo Transfer app that continues to say waiting and will not open.  What can I do?

    Hello,
    This usually happens if there is another download in progress, like another app is updating or downloading. If there are no other apps downloading or updating then you may want to restart your device to try to resume the download of the app that way. I've seen this happen before and the download started after the restart of the device.
    If you have a problem with the app itself then don't hesitate to send an email to our support inbox: support [at] phototransfera [dot] com.
    Cheers,

  • HELP, all my devices (iPads 1, 2, mini, 4   iPhones 5) when i download a new app through appstore they all freeze on waiting and the icon is blank, at the same time my iTunes on windows comupter wont open anymore.

    All my devices under the same username wont install and new apps when connected to wifi, and itunes on windows wont open anymore. wondering if anyone has the same problem or found a solution.
    will download under 3g, very unusual problem. seems to be the apple username but for itunes to not open as well.

    Ha ha, not to worry.
    Rebooted modem and all is good now.
    Very unusual that the only problem was isolated to all apple associated devices and software.

  • IMovie says waiting and will not load

    I have just bought imovie from the App Store - but it doesn't seem to be loading, it just says 'waiting', it won't allow me to press the 'install' button, as it is greyed out.
    I have rebooted a couple of times, but still the same problem.
    I'm running OS X Yosemite V 10.10.1 on my iMac 4GB Memory.
    I'm at a loss, so have turned to the very helpful Apple Nation for some help.

  • Creative cloud app downloading.. continues to say waiting and will not continue downloading

    using a mac pro computer. I am unable to download apps

    If you are getting waiting status after 42%  , follow below steps.
    Do not Quit Creative Cloud application when it is showing the progress status as " Waiting"  . Because if we close , the installer file will disappear from Tmp temporary storage.
    1) Right click on Finder icon and  select "Go-To" Folder option.
    2) You will get a text box, type-in below command and then hit 'Return' key.
    /Tmp
    It will open Tmp folder with list of sub folders inside .
    Search for Illustrator/ In Deisgn .dmg file . and then copy it to Desktop.
    Once you had copied .dmg file to Desktop.
    Launch Activity Monitor and "Force Quit" all the process related to Adobe like Creative Cloud, CoreSync, AAMupdater, AAMupdater notifier, Adobe Crash demon , Setup , Install....etc from Activity monitor.
    Then double click on Illustrator/ InDeisgn .dmg file and try to install .

  • I purchased mountain lion but it keeps saying waiting and will not download

    I purchased mountain lion over a week ago and the file will not download. It stays in a waiting queue and never initiates to even say downloading. I have deleted app attempted reinstall on multiple occassions but no luck. Additionally I have deleted app store cache to try and alleviate any issues but nothing is working. Also I am currently deployed to Afghanistan so a trip to the apple store is out of the question. Also I know my location is not an issue cause it allows me to purchase and install other items just fine. Any insight?

    You could pull the app store plist.
    That's what I would try first. (~/library/prefrences/com.apple.appstore.plist)
    Also, I think the ML is kept in another folder as well. Let me take a look.
    Yeah, try pulling the folder inside of the application support folder inside fo the computer libarary.
    Go>computer>mac hd>libarary>application support>app store
    pull the files inside the "app store" folder to the desktop. If there are more then a few, I would make a new folder on the desktop to drag them into.
    restart and try the download again. Delete the download of  ML from the applications folder if there is one there.
    Make sure you don't delete the files. We might need them still.
    Thank you so much for your service! I personaly appreciate it very much.

  • HT204266 Why won't my apps update when I click update? It just says 'waiting' and nothing happens.

  • The notepad app says waiting and will not respond. No other apps are waiting. I have rebooted the iPad to no avail

    My notepad app is greyed out and is labelled waiting. It will not respond. No other apps appear to be waiting. I have tried rebooting to no avail. Any suggestions?

    Try this:
    Log out of the iTunes Store on your device:
    Settings>iTunes & App Store...tap your Apple ID, then select "Sign Out"
    Reset your device:
    Device Reset (won't affect settings/data/music/apps/etc)
    1. Press and hold (& continue to hold) BOTH the Sleep/Wake button & the Home button.
    2. Continue to hold BOTH (ignoring any other messages that may show) until you see the Apple logo on the screen.
    3. Release BOTH buttons when you see the Apple logo and allow the device to boot normally.

  • HT2404 I'm trying to update apps and download new ones on mi ipad, but it doesn't work... the icons say "waiting" and nothing happens for days!

    I'm trying to update apps and download new ones on mi ipad, but it doesn't work... the icons say "waiting" and nothing happens for days!Help!

    Here are a bunch of things that you can try to get the downloads to resume.
    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.

  • I've just updated my iPad to iOS 7.02 and I'm not able now to download new apps nor update the version of the existing ones.

    Hi!
    I've just updated my iPad to iOS 7.02 and I'm not able now to download new apps nor update the version of the existing ones. All of them are "waiting"... for ever.Even, when trying to download a new app, a "dratf" icon appears on the ipad, not the app's own icon...
    I've tried to switch off and on the iPad, disconnect and reconnect the itunes id... and nothing works. Even deleting an app, to download it again, doesn't work. It even doesn't ask for my password!!! (Stays with the small square with a circle around, the one that gets "bolder" while downloading... but it doesn't get bolder now. Just stay...).
    Any suggestions? I wouldn't like to reset the iPad, since I've got data in some apps that I wouldn't like lo loose...
    By the way, I can not either delete some apps with thos "draft" icons... even when the alert that appears when trying to do that is shown and select "ok".
    Thank you in advance!
    Best Regards,
    Carlos.

    Hi,
    Thank you, Once_was_lost, but it doesn't work either. I tried it yesterday as an option (I think you're referring to the options of those apps in the settings app).
    The problems are still here... I've been able to update some apps using the PC itunes (connecting the app to it), but all the other apps are still "wating", and I have two new strange things:
    * I cannnot remove the apps that are downloading (at least those that are supposed to be downolading ) . But I could remove one from the PC... and now there is an "empty line" in the "to update apps list".
    * Stranger: though I cannot download new apps or music from the store, I can do in-app purchases!!! In that case, I'm asked for the password and the item downloads. How is it possible?????
    I can download with the same user in the PC, in the iPhone... but not in the iPad .
    I'm getting mad...

  • Every time I download a new app or update an old one it doesn't work. It gives an error message saying it is unable to download the application. I have 2 choices. Retry or done. Retry doesn't work so I press done. What can I do to fix this?

    Try using Google's DNS instead of the one your IPS is providing.
    - To change on the iPod go to Settings>wifi and change the DNS to 8.8.8.8
    - For the computer see:
    Public DNS — Google Developers
    - Did anything happen to your router right before this started? Maybe the router is blocking the port used.
