One of my apps is stuck in limbo

So my Clash of clans game has been crashing a lot lately. I decided to finally uninstall and reinstall it in the hopes that would fix it.
That's not the real problem though. When I tried to delete it, i got an option whether to keep or remove it and at that moment, I changed my mind and decided to keep it. But then the os decided to remove it anyway. So now not only is it gone, but I can't even reinstall it as the app store seems to think it's still there with me. Any help would be nice

Try opening it threw the App Store. Then open it normally. Try to put it on airplane mode(it won't load because cellular data is off) and then try rebooting it (Hold down the wake/sleep button and the home button for about 10 secs) when you see the black screen give it splice 5 secs to boot up if not then tip urn it on normally

Iphone 4 - IO6 Problem: My apps are stuck on "loading" - no new apps will install. Status bar is stuck, so apps will not install. How to fix?

Iphone 4 - IO6 Problem: After upgrading to the absoulte crap that is IO6, one of my apps is stuck on "loading" and no new apps will install. If I delete this "loding app" (which happens to be iMovie), the next app that tries to install gets stuck on "loading" and every other app gets stuck on "waiting." How to fix??

I had the same issue and tried several options like rebooting, resyncing, deleting and reinstalling apps, restarting the network connection but none of them worked. Eventually I opened iTunes on my iPhone (not on Mac) to find that it had two pending downloads that was stopping the rest of the apps from loading fully. You need to cancel them by swiping left to right over the listed apps and select cancel/delete. It worked for me. Good luck!

A number of extensions can cause that problem, you'll need to do a little troubleshooting to find out which extension is causing that to happen for you.

App will not download to iPad when purchased from App Store - stuck with Cloud icon

Device : iPad Air 32gb wi-fi model (not cellular data)
OS version : 7.1.1 (up to date)
Location : UK
Problem : App will not download to iPad when purchased from App Store - stuck with Cloud icon
Last night I tried to download an app over wi-fi onto my iPad Air, but the app did not install.
I have plenty of space (the app is 24.1mb, I have 3.4gb free space) and there are no restrictions whatsoever on my iPad - no blocks on App store purchases, no age-related restrictions, no country restrictions etc.
Normally from the App Store page you would tap the price (in this case the app was free), enter your iTunes password, and the app would download.
Also a new icon appears on the home screen and a circle shows the progress of the download.
However this did not happen.
Instead I have the Cloud icon (the one that shows when you have bought an app but it is not currently installed on your device) and a message that says "You've already purchased this, so it will be downloaded now at no additional cost".
If I press OK I am then prompted to enter my iTunes password, the Cloud symbol briefly changes to a circle (and I mean for a split-second, like the blink of an eye) and then the Cloud symbol appears again.
The app does not download - in fact it does not even *attempt* to download.
I have tried this >20 times now and it always occurs excatly like this.
After Googling this problem (which seems common) and reading over a dozen threads on this forum plus Apple's own official support pages, this is what I've tried:
I can re-download other apps that I have previously purchased on this iPad, with no problems.
I purchased another app on my iPhone 5 and was then able to download onto my iPad with no problems.
I have reset my iPad >5 times - both by pressing/holding the home/power buttons, and also a full switch off and restart.
I have logged out of my iTunes account on the iPad, and logged back in.
The wi-fi is Virgin Media fibre optic broadband with a verified speed of 20 meg (confirmed by Speedtest) plus an 802.11-n Belkin router and my iPad will happily load web pages, stream videos on YouTube, download other apps etc.
I have reset/rebooted my internet connection
In an attempt to eliminate by broadband connection from the possible causes, I have switched off my router, linked my iPad to the hotspot feature on my iPhone and tried to download the app over cellular data, but still cannot download the app.
I have tried on 2 other wi-fi networks but still cannot download this one app.
My iTunes account has a cerdit balance from an iTunes card, but the app was free anyway
Nothing I try will download the app in question.
The app is iPad only, so I cannot install on my iPhone to try and kick-start the process.
I guess I could install the app on my computer and then sync the iPad, but that's *working around* the problem - it's not *fixing* the problem.
(Since getting the iPad I use almost never use my computer. And anyway what if I did not have a computer? Didn't iOS go "PC-free" with version 5?)
I would like to call Apple but my 90-day telephone support has expired (the iPad is around 6 months old) and I don't want to buy Apple Care for this one problem.
I can't make it to an Apple Store to speak to a Genius.
Bearing in mind the list of things I've already tried, what do I do next?
Thanks in advance for any support.

Hi there.
Thank you very much for your quick reply, it's really appreciated.
No need to apologize, I actually found the phrase "If your iPad ever craps the bed" amusing under the circumstances
I checked the list of installed apps like you suggested (Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Show all apps) but this problem app is not in the list. I have also swiped down on the home screen to search for it, but again it does not show.
While it has not let me download the app (and I just tried it again) it has helped me to eliminate a few things from the list of what to try, and I can definitely conclude that it has not downloaded.
I guess I need to fire up my PC and download it / sync my iPad.
Thanks again for your help

Can't restore 9.5, can't uninstall, stuck in limbo!

I should have known better. I had acrobat 9.5.2 installed, and was perfectly happy with it. I could view PDF docs, and scan from my scanner directly to a PDF document. Then after weeks of the updater reminding me, I finally let X1 install. Much to my dissapointment I could no longer scan directly to PDF fioles from my scanner. So all I wanted to do was "go back", and this is where the trouble started. My machine is Win-XP pro SR3. I used a windows restrore point to go back to the day before my X1 upgrade. After doing that, acrobat 9.5x seemed to work again, and I could now scan to PDF again from my scanner. I thought I was done. But then, after viewing a document in acfrobat, I realized that a lot of features wouldn't work, and I'd keep getting complaints about plugins missing. So next, I downloaded the full install for Acrobat 9.5.2 from adobe and tried to install from scratch. It would get tp about 96% complete, and then fail with a box saying "the product is already installed". So next i went to the windows control panel and tried to remove acrobat, figuring it would install better if it was first completely removed. But the uninstall failed. Upon attempting to eremove acrobat (listed as adobe reader 9.5.2), an alert comes up saying "The patch package cannot be opened". So now I'm stuck in limbo, and I'll probably need some expert help to manually remove the product from my system, or find a way to fix it. Naturally when I got on the adobe chat line, I was basically told they wouldn't support anything but the latest product.

Well thanks. Good to know its a registry cleaner, because cleaning up all remnants of an applications registry entries by hand is very tedious. But a registry cleaner is not a full uninstall, right? And for now, as i said, I did manage to fix my 9.5.2 installation.
As far as the the versions and names, I've probably added to the confsion here, but in my defense let me explain that if you give me a product and call it "X", and after some upgrade it becomes known as "Y", you can see where a customer like me would be challenged to not think of them the same thing. And this time a programmer may have missed an instance of the name "acrobat" when the code base was borrowed. You see, it is indeed Adobe Reader 9.5.2 when you pull down the "help->about" menu. But, I also have an all-in-one Lexmark printer that has scanning capability, and when you use it, it downloads a list of available applications from the target computer that can accept the raw scan data. ACROBAT READER was one of them, and thats what "Adobe Reader" broadcasts to the scanners as an available scan application. This is what I've always used to scan documents and convery them to a PDF file.
So... when I first upgraded to Adobe Reader X1, I lost my ability to scan to "Acrobat Reader" after it deleted files related to "Adobe Reader 9.5.2". And just FYI, it was NOT replaced by a new Adobe Reader scan application, so I lost my ability to "scan to PDF". When I subsequently backed out X1, and restored (and subsequently repaired) Adobe Reader 9.5.2, everything worked fine again, including the ACROBAT Reader option broadcast to my scanner (printer). So just to be clear, it is Abobe Reader 9.5, (and several versions prior incidentally ) that has carried over the word "acrobat", by sending this name as a potential scan application target to my scanner.
I'll be happy to provide you any other particulars you might want, if it might help others in product support. But as for my current issue and situation, the problem was solved, even if by a round about way. Now I certainly would try completely uninstalling it and re-installing from scratch when I have time and have a clone ready to reverse whatever happens if it doesn't work out. But the fact is I still can't! The add/remove programs operation in my control panel still says that "patch package" is missing when I try to do an "uninstall" or "change", and you've just told me that the cleaner will only clean the registry. So it seems I have a situation where at this point, my adobe reader 9.5.2 works, and the only thing I can't do is uninstall it. Remember I mentioned that the X1 install attempt merilly deleted tons of files, and I geuss one of them was the uninstall script.

iBooks app is stuck on blank page in store mode, how do I get back to my books or the store home page?

FIXED... Installed my OCZ 60GB SSD into my master PC external bay. Went to disk management. Saw 3 partitions. 1.8GB (Recovery)/46GB/8.5GB (Recovery) DELETED the 8.5GB partition. (I know this was the new one created by pressing "0".) Right clicked on the 46GB partition and made it "active". Put the OCZ back into the netbook. It boot right back into Windows desktop successfully. SAVED.

Fidelity Amex - Stuck in Limbo

Hi, I'm stuck in an unbreakable loop and I have no idea how to fix it after calling in 20+ times and spending 6+ hours on the phone. Last week, I applied for the Fidelity Amex card. It said under review. I called the EO the next day and they told approved with a really low CL. I got the card Monday. Attempted to activate it, automated system did not go through. Call sent to a rep, which used some backdoor system or something and got it activated. Tried a 50 cents charge on Amazon and it went through. Next I tried to register the card on the website on the back of the card, fiacardservices.com. Said couldn't match my info and I called the number. Rep said couldn't find any info under my account # or social, got my calls forwarded for about 3 hours until I ended up at approvals. They told me it wasn't their problem since my card was definitely approved. Ended up calling in again and finally landed at a guy that knew what he was doing and he found my info and then put in a data merge request or something like that so it work within a max of 48 hours. It's been more than that and it still won't allow me to register. Called in a few more times, NetAccess always tells me that no system they have will pull up my credit card nor social, I get sent to credit card rep, which after about 15 minutes will find my info with this "other system" at my insistence, but then tell me they can't do anything with online access. Now all the reps say they can't find the notes from that one guy that knew what he was doing. On top of that, if I get placed on hold for longer than 30 minutes, their system will drop the call automatically. This is getting ridiculous, first they insult me with a ridiculously low credit limit (less than 2% of my income, rest of my cards are 5-7x higher CL), and now I'm stuck in limbo wasting 6 hours of my time. Can anyone here give me a few pointers on what to do, besides cutting up my card and tell them to go screw themselves?

Yea, and in case anyone ever finds this thread in the future and runs into this problem, after the events in the OP, I ended up spending another 3 hours getting bounced around, till I landed at a specialist that knew which department can actually fix it. Different people in the same department are at varying levels of competence, so one guy might tell you he can't do anything, another will tell you it's another department's problem, and then when the full cycle circles back to another guy in the same department, he'll actually know what to do. Be sure to ask for the phone number for the department you are being redirected to, before you allow them to redirect you, since there is a 50/50 shot of getting randomly disconnected on the wait. Plus it makes it easier to try your luck for someone competent. You can call the specialists at 1-800-933-6262 to be redirected to the people at 1-800-601-3741 to add your SSN to your profile. I called in twice to that second number and the first time some guy that sounded like he was out of breath grumbled over the phone that he can't do anything like that. I hung up and called the number again and the second lady actually knew what to do. They kept telling me that it would update within 48 hours, but I've been checking everyday and today it finally went through after I called the card department wanting to rip someone's head off. They said they couldn't do anything but magically after the phone call I was able to register an online account a full month after I applied for the card. I'm going to look forward to this quality customer service and I'l pray to the old gods, the new gods, and even the Lord of Light that I don't have to call in again.

One Flash CC project gets stuck when publishing in IOS. It will quickly publish as Android, and other projects will publish as IOS. Not sure what to change.

One Flash CC project gets stuck when publishing in IOS. It will quickly publish as Android, and other projects will publish as IOS. Not sure what to change.

Thanks for the info.
I've recently stumbled on an article on how to view the packaged file (apk) published using AIR 3.2 for Android setting (Adobe Flash CS6). All you need to do is change the extension of the file from (.apk) to (.rar) or (.zip) and extract the file as you would with any other zip or rar file. I was able to confirm that the packaged file (apk) indeed contain all the videos for the presentation. I have more than 80 videos in the presentation. All videos included in the package are of the same video format and resolution (FLV 320x240) but of different duration. I intentionally included the all the videos inside the package so I can use the presentation anywhere and anytime without the need to connect to the internet. The packaged apk file size is (1.23GB) the file includes the project's swf and xml file, the component swf and videos.
When installed to android I noticed that the package remained as an apk file. Not really sure if android temporarily unpacks it when you run the app.
Testing phase:
I see no problem when I'm testing the project on my desktop computer. But when packaged and installed on my device the problem arise.
Problem:
I'm able to install and run the app on my device but wont play some of the videos included in the package.
Was this due to the limited RAM or processor of my android device?
I wanted to distribute the presentation to friends so i was trying to package it for easy access and installation on their device.
Alternative Solution:
I installed a third party app called SWF player by BIT LABS. Copied all the files to my device (the project's swf and component swf with the videos). The project worked like a charm the player (SWF player) and was able to run the presentation as if it was running of my desktop. All buttons and videos working properly. Although the alternative solution worked for me I still wanted to package the presentation for easy access and distribution to friends.
Please help...Thanks in advance.

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.

App is stuck!!

Hello,
So one of the apps that I have got stuck in everyway. No installing, no downloading, no "waiting" and I can't event delete the app. I did do what's recommended, the restarts, sign out and sign in...etc and that didn't work. After I restarted my phone, the app's name disappeared and doesn't let me delete it

The trick is, to do the restarts and sign outs in a particular order. To try to get everything in one shot, just try this first. Go to Settings > iTunes & App Store and sign out. Then go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
Once the phone is restarted, connect back to your Wi-Fi or make sure your cellular data is working. Then go to Settings > iTunes & App Store and sign back in. Once done try to download the app again.
If that is still a no-go, your best bet is likely back up the phone in iTunes or iCloud and erase it. To try to catch any additional errors, I would recommend restoring the phone with iTunes on a computer. Once restored, restore the backup back onto your device and see if you can get that app downloaded then, if it did not automatically.

HT4623 After requesting updates for several apps on my ipad 2, yesterday, the screen image of the app continues to say "waiting." Each app is stuck in waiting mode. help

Yesterday, I was updating several apps in the app updates section in the app store icon. I requested update for Facebook and two other apps. Now those apps are stuck or frozen. Under the icon on the screen it says, "waiting." On the store app page screen, it says, "instaling." I cannot get into either of those apps. What do I need to do to unfreeze my facebook and the other app? Thanks, gracefromok

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.

My app is stuck at loading

My app is stuck on loading. New Ipad. What to do?

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>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>Store>Sign in and then try to update again. Tap one waiting icon only if necessary to start the download stream.

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!

One of my apps is stuck in limbo
