TS3274 Why don't I install items from iTunes/apps .all it says is waiting .....waiting for what   Please help

Please can you help I have try to place items on my iPad from iTunes / apps but all there say is waiting .....waiting for what ?????
Please help

See if any of these things work for you. YMMV. See the one in bold first.
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
If that doesnt work - go to Settings>General>Date and Time - set the date ahead by a few months. Try to update again. If you get an error message of any kind - go back and change the date and time to automatic again. Then try again.
If that doesn't work, restart your router and reboot the iPad.
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.
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.

  • Why can't I purchase items from iTunes or iBooks on my first generation ipad

    I have the current update available for my iPad. I have started to notice that it will not let me install new apps. I have only been selecting apps that work with 5.0.1 but I can't get new apps or even add books to my iPad.
    I have purchased books on my iPhone which used to sync certain apps but that doesn't work any longer.
    Yes the iPad is an older model but it should still be functional for apps and books that have the ability to be used on 5.0.1 or 5.1.1.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps BEFORE doing the reset.
    Try signing out and then back in to your AppleID (SEttings App > iTunes&App Store).

  • TS1424 I am having issues downloading music from iTunes, it comes up saying an unknown error has occurred - please check your network connection. Now I can connect to iTunes store and have itunes as an exception for downloads so don't know what else to do

    Hello, I've started having an issue downloading songs and apps from iTunes to our PC which has Windows XP Professional installed. We also use Karspersky Anti-Virus and Firefox as an internet browser. Have never had this issue before, it comes up with "An unknow error has occured and downloads are stopped with an error 8003. Also says please check your network connection" We have no issue connecting to iTunes store or the network so not sure how to fix this. It is very frustrating. Have checked Windows Firewall and iTunes is an exception, can't think of anything else why it won't work.

    I sounds as though you need to start again. The following article tells you how to completely remove iTunes and Quicktime. If you didn't actually install iTunes you wont find it in add/remove programs so you can't do that bit, but still delete the iTunes folder in Program Files as advised in the article.
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93698
    Once you have got rid of them, try installing the latest version of iTunes. There is a link to it in the article.
    Itunes wont move your music for you, get iTune sgoing then ask again.

    Hi guys,
    I keep getting "waiting for activation" on my iMessage. I can only send/receive iMessage from my email address, NOT my phone number.
    I have done all kind of fixing suggestions that I can find online, but nothing works so far.
    - Date & time set as automatic (I don't know why this matter, but mine was already set as automatic from the begining)
    - Reset network setting
    - Changing the DNS to 8.8.8.8.
    - Restore to factory setting (from back up & as new iPhone)
    - Turning on/off iMessage & facetime
    - Sign out/in of apple ID
    - Change location from apple ID
    - Hard reset/reboot
    And many others.
    ...me too. I'm in Portugal having the same issue!! Hopefuly Apple will give us a solution, shortly...

  • Restored ipad, now it keeps disconnetcting from itunes before it can finish process.....PLEASE HELP!

    Hi!
    I restored my ipad3. Everything went well until the message appeared saying that restorartion was complete, I must leave my ipad connected to the computer and if everything is done, my ipad will appear in itunes.
    But now my ipad keeps appearing and dissappearing in itunes. It connects for about 2 seconds, then disconnects from the computer again.
    I've tried 2 different cables already....
    What must I do?

    I may be an issue with the ipad but most time you just need to setup the ipad not connected and then connect to itunes.

  • I want to purchase Adobe Lightroom from the App Store but cant find the exact match.  Please help! Thanks

    I want to download Lightroom from the App Store but I can't find the exact match (I think its $149 Aus dollars).  There seems to be many other items related to Lightroom but not the one I need.
    This is the first time I'm purchasing online so I am wondering if I need to enter my credit card details to see the full range of software available?
    Your assistance would be appreciated.
    Thank you.

    No, you can view items to purchase even if you have nothing on your account at all.
    You may wish to check with the developer forums for clarificaion on finding exactly what you want.

    My iPad keeps freezing then it plinks andi lose all of my ( sites that I have open ) please help

    If it's happening on all the apps that you've downloaded from the App Store, but not the Apple built-in ones, then try downloading any free app from the store (as that appears to reset something) and then re-try them - the free app can then be deleted.

  • HT1349 why are my pictures and videos from 4s iphone when downloaded sideways and the videos too?  Please help with feedback

    Ok who has been having problems everytime you want to download your videos and pictures they download sideways and videos too, please help

    The photos and videos are not imported that way. The problem lies with whatever photo/video viewing software you are using with Windoze which is ignoring or not recognizing the photo/video orientation info which is included with the photo/video EXIF data by the iPhone.
    I've never had this problem but I use a Mac which doesn't ignore photo/video orientation info included with photo/video EXIF data.

  • Why is the music I drag from itunes displaying different on my ipod/phone? For example, Artist: Beyonce, Song: 1 1, Album:4 (in iTunes); my ipod/phone shows the artist as blank, but the song and album remain. It does this for numerous songs.

    Sometimes if I change the info for a song in itunes, it will show on my ipod that I never changed it. Its so frustrating because it unorganizes my music on my device. Someone Help!!! PLease!!

    Since there were only 8 songs left on the iPod i could just do a  'hold and slide my finger' motion on the name of the song and there would be a delete option. Did that to all the songs and re-synced th ipod again to the computer, this time checking the 'sync music' box. It worked. I dont know if this is only available for iPod touch or for other iPod's as well

  • My project has lost the audio track. I imported tracks from iTunes, they are in the project but do not play, please help?

    Hi...my movie project has lost the audio track. I can see it but nothing plays.
    The movie record has its audio but the imported iTunes track is silent.

    This might sound weird, but here's an idea which worked for me re music that was newly added to itunes and showed up in my ipod but wouldn't play - I simply played the tracks in itunes first, just a second of time or so will do it, not the whole track, then connect the ipod and sync again and this time they played - hope this helps.

  • In list view: Why don't searches include results from the Collections field? Why won't the Collections column sort properly?

    In list view: Why don't searches include results from the Collections field? Why won't the Collections column sort properly?

    I create a new index on column2, (INDEX_N3)
    and change SQL to
    select 1 from table T1 where
    T1.COLUMN_002 = '848K 36892'
    This time INDEX_N3 will be used.
    but change SQL to
    select 1 from table T1 where
    T1.COLUMN_002 = '848K 36892'
    and T1.COLUMN_004 = '1000'
    The explain plan will show full scan.
    Why？
    Thanks.
