App wont download waiting

To start the conversation again, simply ask a new question. I click "install", it asks for my password, it goes back to the home screen and the icon pops up and it says "waiting…" underneath, and then nothing ever happens. It's just stuck on waiting forever. It's basically what you would expect would happen if the store was down or my internet was down, except neither is the case.

I called Apple support and the only thing they had to offer was to do a factory reset on both my iPad and iPhone. I'd rather not do that because it's a pain. Plus, how can it be a hardware problem when it's happening on BOTH of my devices?

It sounds like a problem with my account on their end, but they had no idea. For the record, I can still download apps onto my computer in iTunes and then sync those apps to my devices, I just can't download apps directly from my devices.

Very strange. Posted on Jul 2, PM. It's non-obvious, but it's also not difficult. Delete all the downloads in progress in iTunes and then try downloading apps again. No, I tried to do like what u mentioned, but I can't delete the "waiting" apps, there is no X above the apps. And I also tried to do like demo said, find the installing apps in apps store and swipe across , but I can't delete them too.

This is my boilerplate response to the "apps will not update or install" issue.

Maybe something in here will help ignore what you have already tried. Make sure that you do not have a stalled download in iTunes - a song or podcast Only one thing can download at a time on the iPad so that could be what is causing the problem. 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. Tap one waiting icon only if necessary to start the download stream. 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. You can try resetting all settings.

You will have to enter all of your app preferences and device settings again. Aug 17, PM. Sep 24, AM in response to stedwick In response to stedwick. Sep 24, AM.
