Status of Ap stuck on "waiting"

Ive just purchased a couple of aps and they seem to have stalled on "waiting". What is the problem? And what can i do to fix it?

Does Apple monitor these forums for bugs to fix?
I have had this problem on my 4S and my iPad 2, but my son's 4S, daughter's 4, and my wife's 4S do not have this issue.  I think the problem started on both of my devices when I had over 50 updates pending, and hit "Update All."  I was on WiFi on both devices, so I expected it to go fine.
I went and cleared all my iTunes stuck downloads on my 4S, did not help.  I have tried everything short of Erase All Content... on my 4S.  I have over 200 apps and do not want to have to re-folder them, which is why I keep waiting for a better answer.
On my iPad 2, I did Erase All Content... and then grabbed all the apps back down from the Purchased menu.  I now have 9 screens of apps, and I am not going to re-folder them until I see a bug fix in an Apple release.  The only thing worse than spending hours putting them in folders again, is doing that, and then having the downloads get stuck again so I have to do it again.
Anyway, if Apple is not monitoring the forum for bugs to fix, is there a place I can submit a case regarding this issue?

  • Download Stuck in WAITING status

    Tonight, tried to download a movie for rental. It started and showed 22 minutes remaining, which is crazy, as usually it immediately hits 2% and I begin watching - I've had the ATV since it was first available and I've never had to wait for a download. I checked my internet connection, iMAC network test reporting 22down/6up, typical for me. When I use Apple TV to watch trailers, youtube, etc., it flies. Trailers download instantly, long YouTube files don't buffer. Everything plays nicely. Now the movie is stuck in WAITING. When I click on the movie icon from main screen and then click on the WAITING button, it switches to DOWNLOADING and then right back to WAITING. I've rebooted ATV, downloaded latest update, etc. Seems everything works great except this one movie download. Any ideas?

    I mean knowing alittle about "Music Match" because had it for about a year now and I have a 40 gig size library.. When Music Match is DL tracks you don't DL apps (this is a given). So seems in my case music Match failed for whatever reason, so the OS still thinks it needs to DL song but doesn't. So I can't DL apps because OS still has phantom music tracks to download. So that is where (I believe) I am stuck.. Somehow I need to reset this DL process. Any ideas besides a full restore of my phone would be great. Thanks,
    Chris
    Again music Match is turn off on my iphone 5 and still can't down apps from app store.. the get stuck in "waiting" status.

  • Apps stuck in 'waiting' status

    I've seen a few similar posts, but adding mine here.  iPad2 software version 5.1 - last two days, app downloads and updates stuck in 'waiting' status.  Tried signing out, powering off and back on, and then signing back in, but no luck.  Works fine when syncing through itunes on computer, but no luck with cloud downloads or over wi-fi from app store.  Also automatic cloud downloads aren't pushing to iPad.  Help us Apple!!!!

    First, Apple isn't on these forums, so your'e just writing your fellow users here.  Second, Apple servers are overloaded with new users updating to their new devices, downloading new apps, etc.  Give it a few days to settle down, but you're just seeing the fact that there are more users than the servers can handle at one time. 

  • TS1702 The appstore in my iPad is not working properly. It's not downloading either updates or new purchases of apps, stucks at "waiting" status an do not load them.

  • Application stuck at "Waiting for Upload"

    When submitting my application yesterday, I tried to use the web based upload link and the checkbox would never appear for the application binary in the itunesconnect portal. No error message was displayed after the actual upload. The page displatyed 0.9 of 0.9 with an x next to it which just deleted the upload. If I tried to submit as is, the page told me I had to submit a binary, arrgh, which I tried repeatedly.
    I then tried to use the "ApplicationLoader" tool. It said the upload was successful but the application is stuck at "Waiting for Upload" status. Anyone else in the same boat? I am using a wildcard appid as the setup suggests. I have checked a couple of other threads mentioning this and how people fixed this. I tried what was in those threads, I am using a wildcard app id.

    Same problem here. Uploaded through the ApplicationLoader last night and its still showing "Waiting for upload" on itunesconnect. This is my second app and I didn't have this problem with the first one - the status was updated to "In review" within a few minutes.
    One thing I noticed is that ApplicationLoader itself was acting strangely. On my first app upload, the progress bar chunked along nicely as it was uploading. On my second app upload, the progress bar stayed at zero while the time remaining count quickly counted up to around sixty minutes, then the progress bar went to full and said the app was uploaded.
    Anyone else experiencing this or having successful uploads in the past 24 hours?
    My app is in "Pending Contract" status since last night. Its moving along. I noticed the same thing at darrensi noticed. However, when the ApplicationLoader delayed, it occurred right before my app was accepted.

  • Stuck at "Waiting..."

    I though reseting my iPod Touch would fix my WiFi problem, but it didn't. So I lost all my Apps. I had to download them back again but when I got to "Brothers in Arms Hour of Heros" the status of the download got stuck at "Waiting..." it's been like that for 30 minutes. Any other Apps I try to download after it they get stuck at "Waiting..." too. Should I restart my iPod or what? Thanks in advance.

    It installed by itself after 35 minutes. But how can "Waiting..." take 30 minutes? Is it because the Apple servers are overloading?

  • IPhone 6 stuck on "waiting for changes to be applied" when syncing.

    I got a new iPhone 6 a few days ago and I put everything onto it (music, photos, contacts, etc) with no problem from a previous iPhone backup. This morning I tried to sync my phone with iTunes and while the music is listed on the music app on the phone, NONE of it will play and every track has the square with a circle around it that shows its download progress while syncing.
    Why is this happening and how do I fix it? All I want is my entire library on my phone but it won't sync. (Also I should have plenty of room on my phone, I got the 128 GB and only have ~30 GB of music) Now on the status bar it says I have 30 GB of music and 30 GB of "other," but none of my songs will play. Also iTunes will get stuck on "Waiting For Changes to Be Applied" and won't finish syncing.
    I'm syncing a new iPhone 6 128 GB running 8.1.2 with a Mid 2012 MacBook Pro with Yosemite 10.10.1.
    Any help fixing this problem via link or advice will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

  • IPhone 5 stuck in "waiting for phone"mode

    IPhone 5 - had to do system restore - now it has shut down again and will only come up when hooked to computer -- go through system restore again and it gets stuck in "waiting for iphone" mode. Apple insignia and blank status bar showing on phone screen

        Oh no, having phone issues is no fun Normal12 but we can help get this resolved. Is the phone damaged? Is the charging port loose or damaged? Let's try a few steps, first try pressing and holding the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears. If the screen does not wake up try this next. Try and reset the device by pressing and holding the Sleep/Wake button and the home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until either the Apple logo or the battery symbol appears. If that doesn't work, try this. Connect iPhone via AC power and reset the device again. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the home button again at the same time for at least ten seconds, until either the Apple logo or the battery symbol appears. If that does not resolve issue, leave the device connected and let it charge for at least 15 minutes. If you continue to have issues, I recommend taking the phone to a Verizon Wireless corporate store or Apple store for evaluation and replacement options. Please keep us posted.

  • HT201412 iphone 4s apps will not reinstall on phone, stuck in waiting mode; new apps will only download if synced to itunes on PC

    A few weeks ago about 7 of my apps had updates. I pressed update all and instead of it updating them, they were frozen for several days in "waiting" mode. Finally I was tired of this so I deleted the apps by pressing one and it activated the x to pop up on each app so I could delete. I deleted all the ones that were stuck in waiting, which was all the ones I was trying to recently update. I then went back to app store and redownloaded 1 of those that I had just deleted and it downloaded just fine. Tried that with others and and I got the same message before "waiting" and nothing. I've tried with all the previous apps and nothing new. I cannot at this point even download a new app from my app store on my phone. I can only upload new apps if I have downloaded them into itunes on my pc and then sync my phone to the itunes on the computer.
    Today I came into itunes and under apps saw that many of them still needed to update. I clicked update  all and they supposedly updated. Connected iphone to pc and tried to sync. It updated the working apps I still have and none of the old ones. I have tried to redownload my old apps via itunes on my computer but there isn't an option anymore, just says "downloaded."
    Anything else I can do? I've tried shutting off, restarting, etc. and nothing has worked. I really don't want to have to reset to factory settings as I'm afraid I won't back up right and I'll loose all my pictures of my kids and other info.
    Any help is appreciate! I use Verizon fyi and have had the phone about 10 mos with no problem till last month.

    I have the exact same problem for the past 2 hours, and now I figure out how to solve it.
    Go to iTunes then go to downloads, you will see something is stucked there which is not downloading, delete it, you don't have to delete all of them, only the one is not downloading.
    The problem of my iPhone 4S iOS 5.01 came from iTunes U, just right after I started downloading some video clips or podcasts  from iTunes U. I could not find any video clips in there, after 2 hours, I found the problem, it was in iTunes, downloads is happening in iTunes, not in iTunes U.
    You don't need to restore your iPhone any more.

  • How do I use icloud to restore my documents that were in Pages? Pages got stuck in "waiting" to update and when nothing else worked I deleted it and reloaded Pages. I don't want to restore everything just my Pages documents.

    How do I use icloud to restore my documents that were in Pages? Pages got stuck in "waiting" to update and when nothing else worked I deleted it and reloaded Pages. Everything I can find is about wiping everything out and restoring everything. I don't want to restore everything just my Pages documents (and numbers and keynote that also locked up during updating).

    What I meant is turn off Documents and Data in iCloud in OS X. Keep it on on your iOS devices. iCloud will sync documents between the iOS devices and make them available on the iCloud web site, but it won't mess up iWorks' open and save dialog boxes. It also won't assume that you want all your documents in iCloud, which I think is undesirable anyway.
    Keep iOS and OS X separate, and use the web site to move files between the two as necessary.
    iOS iWork is different from OS X iWork. There are fewer fonts on an iOS device. iOS iWork programs have slightly different feature sets than OS X iWork programs, and the file formats are different. iCloud automatically converts the file format when necessary, but if you make a habit of saving things directly to iCloud, you are limited to the lowest common denominator between the two versions of iWorks. So why would anyone want iWork on the Mac to open and save documents on iCloud by default?
    If you want to store files in the cloud and sync them on your Macs, SugarSync is a much better solution. It lets you choose your sync folders, it doesn't make you reorganize your files, it lets you sync all file types, it doesn't convert files to a different format and back, and it stores everything in the cloud, too. Just the simle act of saving a file backs it up and syncs it. I wouldn't live without it. iCloud is best with iTunes purchases and synchronizing Mac settings and iOS files; I woudln't live without it. The two make an unbeatable combination.

  • App stuck on "waiting"

    I am running iOS 7 on an iPad 2. There was an update for the Remote app for the Apple TV. I tried running the update and the app is now greyed out and says, "waiting". However, if I go into the App Store and view my update history, the app shows as having updated and will launch if I click on the "open" button. It will not open if I click on the greyed out icon that still says, "waiting". Restarting by holding down the home button+power did not work. There is no "x" to remove it if I long tap until the icons shake. Any ideas?

    Possible solution
    I was suffering through the samething for few days and got fed up looking at everyone's  suggestion to simply reboot and what not and finally started fiddling alright myself and seem to have fixed the problem.
    I removed the the apps that we're stuck at waiting(I did this through connecting to my pc and unchecking them in the apps section on itunes through the iPad interface, but as long as you are completely backed up you could probably just delete it/them and add them back later). then after the all pending updates have been cleared, go into setting, app store, then press where it says you apple ID select sign out, and then sign back in. After doing this I was able to download apps and updates.
    Hope this helps everyone that has been affected by this problem which seems to be going around.
    If this helps please be kind enough to leave word that this is the solution across the board and not just an fluke.

  • ITunes stuck on "Waiting for changes to be applied"

    Here are the symptoms I'm seeing:
    - If I restore my phone, or delete/reinstall iTunes, or uncheck "Sync Music", wait for a sync to complete, recheck "Sync Music", ONE sync attempt will complete. I try adding one additional song and re-syncing the device, it gets stuck.
    - If a sync doesn't complete, it gets stuck on "Waiting for items to copy" or "Waiting for changes to be applied". Via fs_usage, it seems like nothing is happening during this phase. I've left it for two hours and it doesn't move on from this phase unless you manually cancel the sync.
    - It's manifested itself on two different phones - an iPhone 4S and a iPhone 6.
    - Each phone has enough space for the items I'm syncing
    - Sometimes iTunes or gets confused and moves the entire music library on my phone into "Other". Recently I had 42GB of "Other" on a 55GB device. See attached screenshot: http://monosnap.com/file/AaDzqWpgtNXtfTYdy8iscfTKrkZGWC
    - The problem has persisted across multiple versions of iTunes (at least versions 11 and 12)
    Here are the things I've tried to solve the problem:
    - Restore the device - as mentioned, works one time, further syncs fail
    - Turn my laptop off and on
    - Turn my phone off and on
    - Replace "iTunes Library.xml" by moving it to the Desktop and rebuilding the file (really fun as I lost all playlists, import date info and most played information by doing this)
    - uncheck Sync Music and recheck it - as mentioned above, this works one time, this method is also error prone (takes 3 or 4 canceled syncs before it decides to actually transfer the songs)
    - signed out of Apple Store
    - repair disk permissions
    - repair disk
    - trace iTunes process with fs_usage, will try dtruss next
    - remove the SyncServices/Local directory - didn't do anything
    - remove iTunes and every trace of it I could find (com.apple.itunes and related plist files) and reinstall from the Internet - I got one good sync after this and then it got stuck again.
    I would appreciate your help as I'm at wit's end here. If there are any debugging logs or further information I can post, please tell me - I'm a software engineer by trade and have a fairly good idea of how to operate a machine (though not really how to debug a closed-source binary, maybe I should learn how).
    Thanks,
    Kevin

    This problem started last year when ios 8 was released. I think apple is trying to force users to buy music on iTunes store and that's why it's impossible to sync other music and also that's the reason why they haven't solved this serious problem. That's really disappoints me and i'm angry with apple because i have like 10 gb of music in mp3 and i can't sync music from iTunes to my iPhone.

  • Bought a Brand New iPod touch, my entire music library WILL NOT SYNC (stuck on waiting for changes)

    I just bought a new ipod touch, and I'm really struggling to not throw this thing against the wall.
    My music won't sync. Its stuck on "Waiting for Changes to be applied"
    Im not trying to sync anything else, no video, pictures, apps, anything. Just music. My old iPod touch syncs just fine. I can't restore it, because the restore takes it back to when I was setting the ipod up. I factory reset my ipod many times. I've tried manually syncing songs individually but it hangs on the same spot.
    My mac is up to date, my ipod is up to date, my itunes is up to date. What the **** can I do?

    I have been able to get SOME songs on by doing artist one by one. I also took off all album art. I have only 10 songs or so that I have bought so this is all my own stuff. I just bought a refurbished ipod touch from the apple store. It seems weird to me that it is not all ipods, just some and with the searching I have done, it was mainly Sept to Nov of last year there was issues.... I feel like returning my ipod and hoping I get one with no issues.

    My iPod touch 3rd generation is stuck at "waiting for changes to apply" during sync.  I have the latest update and the latest version of iTunes downloaded.  Any suggestions for a remedy to this problem?  Thanks!

    Here is the link for the downgrade from Apple.

    Here is the Link before you install Apple 10.3 downgrade Read Oct. 17th the 1st on of the 17th.where I said "A" OKAY
    Link: https://discussions.apple.com/message/16500143#16500143
    I went into my desktop PC the to Start/My music/iTunes folder.
    In my folder there was nothing called ITunes Library.itl., but I had file called iTunes Library, in the center of it labeled "Lib", so I re-named it to "iTunes Library.itl.backup" Then went to the folder from iTunes" Previous iTunes
    Library" and copied and pasted mine was iTunes Library 2011-04-02 right into the iTunes main folder.
    Close your iTunes folder and then install the previous ver. 10.3 of the Apple link. I did not reboot PC. Did not use Cc cleaner nor add/Remove. then after 10.3 said finished installing 10.3 I clicked on my iTune Icon and iTune came up, iPod not plugged in yet.
    Then I clicked on "let iTune to find all my music and install them", said towards bottom of iTunes.
    Why we don't have the answer but iTune will put all your music in but you will have duplicates of the songs, so you will have your work cut out for you, takes time. plus some of my Artwork was missing, but I save that too.
    I'm not Responsible for this instructions, this is what worked for me.
    I think everything here is in order. Lot of my information came from all of you guys.Thank you. took a lot of reading, and trial and errors 2 1/2 day latter.

    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.
    How to Solve the Problem of An iPad App Download Stuck on “Waiting”
    http://ipadacademy.com/2012/06/how-to-solve-the-problem-of-an-ipad-app-download- stuck-on-waiting
    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.
