Why are my iwork apps stuck saying "waiting"?

I have a iPhone 5s. I downloaded the free iwork suite. They worked fine till I used iBooks. Logged into iBooks and agreed to let it sync my bookmarks. I then checked out the store from within iBooks to see what was new. I downloaded the free iPhone iOS7 guide and now all my iwork apps are dimmed out saying "waiting". I tried rebooting my phone but didn't help... Any suggestions?

I don't have anything updating... I was downloading the guide through iBooks but that's it and it's been completed...
I've tried restarting phone and logging out of app store and back in. Still no good...
Wow, and now after logging back in, I go into iBooks and under purchased books, I'm seeing 3 of the same book for every book I have... This is messed up...

Why are all my apps 32-bit on a Windows 8.1 desktop with 12GB RAM?

Why are all my CC 2014 apps on a Windows 8.1 desktop with 12GB RAM 32-bit instead of 64-bit?
Thanks

>don't see anything there regarding 64-bit applications
You need to click on EACH program to read the requirements for THAT program
System requirements | After Effects- Intel Core2 Duo or AMD Phenom II processor with 64-bit support
System requirements | Adobe Premiere Pro- Intel Core2 Duo or AMD Phenom II processor with 64-bit support
And so on... if the INDIVIDUAL page does say 64bit the program does not REQUIRE 64bit

Why are all my apps have .app at the end

Hi, my apps all have .app at the end, why is that, how can I remove it.

To identify them to the operating system as applications. All applications use the same ".app" extension just like all MS Word documents use ".doc" or ".docx". They provide information the OS needs so it knows what to do when you double-click on a file.

Why are all my apps missing in iTunes when I backed everything up to my computer?

I just upgraded to the iPhone 5 and backed everything up as required (iCloud & computer). However, all my apps are gone from iTunes and non of my apps transfered to my iPhone 5. Can someone tell me how to retrieve my all my apps?
Thank you
Joe

Alright, your best bet might to be to use the restore from iCloud option, as it will redownload all the apps from your prior device (definitely make sure you're connected to WiFi when you're attempting to do it so that you don't eat through your data plan).
First you'll want to verify that your old iPhone 4 backup is still in iCloud (you can check from your iPhone 5):
On your Home Screen, tap Settings
Tap iCloud
Tap Storage & Backup
Tap Manage Storage
Select the device you want to manage
You should see a backup for the iPhone 4 if there is one. If you tap on that backup, it will give details such as when it was last backed up and the backup size. You'll just want to know that the last backup was able to complete. If you have the iPhone 4 backup still, then you're good to go.
If you decide to proceed with the restore (definitely your call and not mine), go all the way back out to the first Settings page.
In Settings, tap:
General
Reset
Erase All Content and Settings
How content is restored to a new device
When you go through Setup Assistant on a new device running iOS 5 or later, choose "Restore from iCloud Backup" and enter your iCloud account and password. You will see the three most recent backups for each of the devices on which you enabled Backup. Choose which backup to restore from.
After your device restarts, your settings and accounts are restored and Backup starts downloading your purchased music, movies, TV shows, apps, books, Camera Roll, and other content.
Note: You may be prompted to enter the passwords for all accounts enabled on your device. You may also be prompted to enter the password for for any iTunes, iBookstore and App Store accounts for which iCloud Backup is attempting to restore content.
A progress bar will appear underneath the apps that are being downloaded. To prioritize the restore of a specific app, tap its icon. Restore will attempt to download the same version of the app that you had installed previously. If that version is no longer available, the latest version of the app will be restored.

Why are all my apps still in Trial mode?

Hello,
Running a Mid 2011 iMac with 10.8 and 16Gig ram
I uninstalled my versions of CS6.
Downloaded CC for desktop.
Noticed that not all the apps could be downloaded.
Checked my Account details, there were some fields empty. Filled in the missing info.
All apps now could be downloaded from CC desktop.
Downloaded Apps. When I opened them they all are starting in trial mode.
I think I had done all your suggestions you have on your help pages.
Still no joy.
So
Uninstalled all CC Apps.
Downloaded them again.
When I open them, same problem.
Help!
30 days then what will happen?

Why are all my apps asking for permission again?

For some reason, the majority of my apps started asking for permission to use my photos, location, microphone or any other part of the system that requires permission upon first lunch. I did not do any system updates recently nor have I reset any warnings in the settings. Anybody else have this issue or know what could be causing it?

You won't be charged for downloading free apps (or other free items), you will only get a temporary store holding charge ($1 or the approximate local equivalent) to check that the card details are correct and that the card is valid, which will disappear within a few days or so.
But unless you used the instructions that I linked to in my previous reply when creating the account, then you won't be able to download anything (including free items) until you enter your card details.

Why is all my apps in "waiting" mode

Why does all my apps say waiting?

I'm posting my experience because 1) lots of people are having this problem, frustration is high (as was mine last night) 2) I haven't seen any solutions online that worked for me, and 3) I spent half an hour on the phone with Apple Tech Support so you dont have to. Spoiler alert: It solved my problem.
I had the same problem described above and on other threads, though different from many other threads. I had just gotten my brand-new iPad (spring 2012) and spent hours choosing, redownloading (I had an iPad 2) and organizing apps into folders. Then... it happened. No new apps would download, each icon would show up and say "Waiting…" for hours if I left it alone. It should be noted that I was redownloading iCloud backups of purchased apps, not a restore from my iPad 2 backup or individual app downloads from the App Store.
I tried all the suggestions out there that I found, to no avail. It seems those measures were aimed at iTunes downloads rather than the iCloud restores: delete the pending downloads, clear the iTunes download cue of partial downloads, log out of the iTunes store in Settings, hard reset, and log back in, etc.
So I called Apple Support and they suggested I "Erase all contents and settings" option in Settings -> General -> Reset. It was to make sure it wasn't a hardware issue, and it downloaded apps fine, so I repeated the Erase and restored my iCloud backup. And voílà, after 4-5 hours of app downloads (I have HUNDREDS of apps, your restore may not take as long), I'm back up and running, able to download apps and iTunes songs/podcasts.
Steps:
1. Backup to iCloud BEFORE you do this if you already have your apps and folders set up just how you like them
2. Go to Settings -> General -> Reset -> Erase all contents and settings
3. On startup, choose "Restore from iCloud backup", or "Set up as new iPad" if you don't wish to use a backup
It really is MUCH less painfu than I ever thought a wipe and repeat setup would be, thanks to the magic of iCloud backups! Good luck.

In iTunes under my device, under the apps tab, Why are all the options shaded out? I cannot make any changes, select any apps or do anything with the apps. I was able to load a few apps and sync but cannot sync anymore to my phone.

Hi,
( I search for iChat questions when I have finished in the iChat Forum)
So the menu bar reads iChat, File, Edit, View, Buddies, Video, Window and Help
There is no Buddy List open.
There is no other window for iChat open.
In the iChat Menu you only have access to Status.
Is an item ticked in the list ?
Is this a green (Available item) or Red ( an Away one) ?
Can you access the Accounts option ? (Sitll in the iChat Menu)
Is anything in here ticked ?
In the Window menu any Logged in account should appear in the list (Between the Next Chat and File Transfer items)
It would be useful to know which version of iChat this is.
If no account is ticked (iChat Menu > Accounts) or not showing in the Window Menu, plus you cannot determine the Status and you cannot access the Preferences then you need to access your Home Folder/Library/Preferences
As the Library in the Home Holder is Invisible in Lion you will need the Finder's Go Menu > Go to Folder option (you can use it in earlier OS versions if you want)
Type in:-
~/Library/Preferences
Find the file called com.apple.ichat.plist
Drag it to the Trash and Restart iChat.
This will lose all the settings in iChat that you have changed from Defaults but there is no way around this.

Why are all my movies and tv shows now on my ipad with the icloud icon? How can i get rid of them?

Why are all my movies and tv shows from my library now on my ipad with the icloud icon? I have turned off all icloud related services. I have never used it. On top of that, my ipad now gets stuck on step 5 of the sync - waiting for changes to be applied and never finishes.
Help

Hi, go in Settings, under Videos turn off "Show all videos" this will remove the purchased videos to be displayed in the Video app. The same can be done with the music.
As for Step 5, connect you iPad and on the summary Tab, uncheck
"Sync only checked songs and videos". Then wait, it takes a while but this made it work for me after many restore attempts.
good luck

Apps stuck in waiting after updating on iOS 7.0.2

Since i updated my iPad 2 to iOS 7.0.2 i have this persistent problem, I tried everything to make it normal but it never happens.
After i update an App on my iPad throught the AppStore on the iPad this problem occurs.
1. Eventhough the update is complete the app gets stuck in "waiting... " state
2. However the App opens through the AppStore on the iPad
Above are few of the apps stuck in waiting and they have a Open button adjacent to them.
Notice that iBooks is on waiting... however i can open it through the app store.
and use it normally.
Only solution which works as of now is to delete the apps from settings on the iPad and install them again from the Appstore, but then i'd loose all the data i previously have.
I have no Idea why this is happening. I cannot open the stuck apps directly by taping them i have to go through the AppStore. Please help.
PS: You cannot uninstall app by long tapping it because the X mark does not appear on the app.

Try a reset ...
Reset the device:
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings

Apps stuck on waiting

Recently my iPhone (OS5) has encountered problems with installing apps. The first time it happened was last week, I attempted to install an app from the app store and it displayed the "waiting.." status and did not go away. I restarted but it was still there. I was able to press the X on the app to remove it, but the problem arised again when I downloaded the app from the app store. In fact, the same thing happened whichever app I attempted to download. Even when I tried to update current apps from the update tab on the apps store they turned to the "waiting.." status. I have connected via itunes on my computer, downloaded an app but it doesn't appear on my iphone. Could anyone help me out?
To be clear, I have read the existing related posts but please note that:
restarting my iphone does not solve the problem
connecting to itunes on my computer does not solve the problem
I am able to close the app with the X button but when i try again I have the same problem
I know many people will just post their problem without searching the forum first, just wanted to say I did some research prior to posting

Hey Dawn
Had the same problem and found your post without any reply but you gave me an idea that worked for me. but try at your own risk as I do not know what I am doing just that it worked.
Plug in your device to your computer .
In itunes under the device and apps are all your apps there? in the left column where they are listed. If so this means that all of your apps are backed up in your computer.
First Sync your device, wait for it to complete. (as you mentioned this did not fix it)
Now, try this with one app that shows "waiting", maybe one you dont care too much about: On your IOS device X it. (delete it) It will give you a warning that you will loose all data of that app. Say okay.
Now make sure that that app is selected on the left hand column on the itunes app page for the device.
Sync again (it should be quick as it should only update the apps)
Again for all the other apps this did not help, but for that one app that you try it should now show up on your IOS device correctly and run.
If you feel comfortable with my procedure now X (delete) all the other apps that show waiting and sync again.
Hope this works for you like it did for me.
The root cause of my problem (I believe) is that I bought a new iphone and at the store I restored using icloud. Once the phone was up and running I left the store which interrupted the restore of apps and music. Once I got to my home it was trying to do everything at the same time and it got stuck. So I figured I would just sync and get rid of the problem, but you like you mentioned it did not help. I mention this as it might be applicable to what happend to you.
