  • When an app is downloaded to an IPAD and it says waiting, what does that mean?

    When an app is downloaded to an IPAD and below the icon it says waiting, what does that mean?

    Try this.
    Double tap the icon of the Waiting app, and it shouild 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.

  • Just updated I pad 2 and some of my apps are dim and say waiting Is that something that takes a long time or does it mean something didn't work

    Just updated my I pad 2 and some of my apps are dim and say waiting. Is this something that takes a long time or could something be wrong?

    That means they are in the queue to be updated.
    If everything is working it will depend on the speed of your wifi connection as to how long it takes.

  • Ipad apps are greyed and say waiting, but can open them from app button

    The apps were reloaded after the ipad was reset, but only about 1/3 loaded. The rest are grey, and say "waiting" under them. In the app icon, they all show up as loaded, and can be opened, but from the home screen, nothing happens when the app is tapped.

    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.

  • Extensions are not signed correctly! what does that mean.

    sorry i dont know what to do on these forums, i cant open extensions as it says they are not correctly sighned does anyone know what that means and how do i go about correcting it.....please dont go of on one if im in the wrong area or ive set this out wrong. i cannot contact adobe...

    At this site:
    The extension could not be loaded because it was not properly signed (Adobe Photoshop CC 2014) – onOne Software
    I found this:
    The extension could not be loaded because it was not properly signed (Adobe Photoshop CC 2014)
    To resolve this issue please perform the following.
    1. Close Adobe Photoshop
    2. Download and install the Adobe Extension Manager. This is available through the Adobe CC App and also here: https://www.adobe.com/exchange/em_download/
    3. Go to the following location:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\CEP\Extensions\onOne
    and delete the onOne folder.
    4. Open the Adobe Extension Manager app.
    5. Go to: File > Install Extension. Navigate to:
    C:\Program Files\onOne Software\Perfect Photo Suite 9\Plug-in Files\Panels\onOne.zxp
    add the onOne.zxp by highlighting it and clicking open.
    6.  Launch Adobe Photoshop CC 2014
    This seems to relate to the onOne app. You may want to modify the instructions to coincide against your own extension apps
    Good luck.

    I successfully synched photos from my mac book iphoto to my new iphone 5 (icloud did not do the job).  Now these photos appear on my phone in three places--iphoto app, last import, and photo library.  Does that mean that they take up three times the memory?  Will that affect iCloud?  Sorry for the end-user questions!!

    HHi, thank you for the reply. I have checked my iPad and iPhone and neither has iCloud Photo Library (Beta) enabled. Turned off in both. Photostream is turned on.
    i tried to sort it out  by dragging all the photos to Events on the Mac and then deleting them from iCloud - (left hand side of iPhoto under the section 'Shared'). the photos now show up in Events. I did force quit but the issue remains. The message reads ' photos are bing imported to the library. Please wait for import to complete.'
    i can't empty iPhoto trash either. The message read "Delete error. Please wait for import to complete.'
    WHen I was moving the photos to the Events I always had a message about duplicates - to the effect that the photos already existed, did I want to import them? I clicked on Yes, import all duplicates. But when it showed the images - duplicates side by side - one showed the photo and the other was blank.
    I really don't know what to do! And I don't know how to handle my iOS devices. Is it to do with the large number of photos? Any help, advice appreciated.

  • HT1349 For some reason part of the apps on my IPad just say waiting; they were working fine and then just turned dark and say waiting but didn't update when I updated all the apps.  Any suggestions?

    For some reason some of my apps suddenly went dark and say waiting.  I tried syncing with the computer and updating all the apps but they stayed dark.  The individual apps in question say they are updated when I looked at them.  Any ideas?  Do I need to just delete them off the IPad and start over?

    Hi you guys,four days ago my FT and iMessage worked well on my iPhone 5 IOS6.1.3,but my phone Number did not in the caller ID loop,so I turned both of them off,when I wanted to turn it on again,but failed,I tried so many times,but make no difference,It shows me"waiting for activation".Then I found the solution on internet,and you know there are many possible solutions,just like:
    1.change the wifi DNS to 8.8.8.8,8.8.4.4.and you must turn your cellular ON.
    2.restore the phone setting.Settings>>General>>reset>>all the phone setting.
    3.restore the network setting.Setting>>General>>reset>>the network setting.
    3.reset the network.
    4.reset your Date&time.Setting>>Date&Time>>set automaticlly>>ON.
    5.change another network to activate.
    6.take out the sim card to activate.
    I did everything,but nothing happend,it still"waiting for activation"
    And today afternoon,i try to activate again,when i turn iMessage on,it activate successfully.OMG,it is really amazing.and the same to my Facetime.
    I am so exciting and strange how it happen...
    I followed all the setting above 1.2.3.4.5.6,the only difference is i turned the "enable 3G" OFF(Settings>>General>>Cellular Data>>Enable 3G>>OFF),but it keep ON before now.
    seriously,i am not sure if the "enable 3G"causes this problem,but it really happened to me,so you guys can try if you have the same problem,
    hope my answer is helpful for you.

  • How do I back up the music and apps etc. I restored my computer and I reinstalled iTunes, I was told something about a terminal command line, what does that mean? Please help

    - Transfer iTunes purchases to the computer by:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
    - Transfer any other music by using a third-party program like one of those discussed here:
    Copy music
    - Connect the iPod to the computer and make a backup by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
    - Restore the iPod from that backup. The restore will also update the iOS.
    Note that the backup that iTunes makes does not include synced media like apps and music
    Are you sure you have a 3G iPod? A 1G iPod can only go to iOS 3.1.3

  • Music I purchased on I Tunes is not available when I open ITunes in I Movie.  I Movie says those files are "protected" and not accessible.  What does that mean and can I change them to "unprotected" so I can use them in IMovie?

    Most of the music that I purchased on I Tunes I bought and downloaded on my old I Mac which I replaced with this I Mac about 9 months ago.  When I"m using I Movie on this I Mac and try to open I Tunes tab in I Movie, most of the files are not accessible because I Movie says those fields are protected. What does that mean and can I change those files to unprotected so they show up in my music in IMovie?
    This I Mac is OS X version 10.9.5 Maverick, 2.7GHz Intel Core 15 processor, 8GB 1600MHz DDR3 memory.
