Hi Mzzyp,
We'd like to help you find the best resolution path for your apps stuck downloading after the transfer. We would recommend starting with the troubleshooting steps found here: If you can’t download or update apps on your iPhone or iPad. In addition to these steps, make sure you are connected to a strong Wi-Fi network and if you have any VPN connections, you may need to disable this temporarily. If you are connected to a Wi-Fi network, we also recommend to check Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points. Let us know if this doesn't help.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
This helped. I think the activation process of turning the phone on and off messed it up. The signing out and back in worked though. 😀
Signing out of App Store through the App (not settings) worked for me. Tried everything else mentioned here.
Canceling the Amazon music app from installing worked for me too. All apps were stuck at loading after transfer from iPhone 7 to iPhone Xs
If your apps get stuck downloading when your transferring them to your new Iphone 13 do this
a. Always allow b. Ask if over 200 mb c. Always ask
choose always allow and then all those apps will start loading. once loaded go back and reset your choices if you want
Be Amazing!@!
Faced the same issue while transferring my data iPhone XS to IPhone 12 Pro. A simple Reset all settings solved the issue . Thanks
To the community...I discovered that for my iphone that I had to use an old itunes account name and password. Then, everything down loaded. This account is different from the icloud and apple account.
I had the same issue upgrading to iPhone 13 and also found that deleting Amazon Music did the trick. Since I no longer use the app I didn't need to reinstall it. All of my other apps then loaded properly.
Same problem, iphone X to Iphone 13.
Did all the hard reset, sign out and back in, left it overnight, none of that worked. Deleted Amazon music and did a 'prioritise download' on Ebay app and that did the trick, the apps all downloaded in a few minutes.
I had been struggling for 2 days with this issue. None of the suggestions I read helped. Finally, I tapped each app that said “loading” to “pause” them all. Next, I tapped them one at a time, and as each finished loading, I went to the next. This actually went fairly quickly.
I also got rid of some apps that I wasn’t using, but getting rid of Amazon Music was the trick for me.
I followed everyone’s tips including removing Amazon music. It was only going through and prioritising some apps one by one that worked.
I had the same issue, so I 'paused' all the apps then went to one and 'proritised' it, still no joy so deleted Amazon Music then Garage Band (never use it) and my apps began to download. I'm not sure if it's specifically Amazon Music but it did seem to work and isn't an app I use anymore either.
i used prioritise and it solved the problem
I had the same problem, upgrading from my XS to 13 Pro yesterday. I had made backups on iTunes, but tried the wireless transfer. However, I had a few issues. It prompted me to verify my login, but the dialog always hung, which was solved by restarting the device. Then I had this apps stuck on loading-issue (for 8 hours), which I found the solution for here! I don't have Amazon music, but I tried to prioritize some apps and logged out/in to App store, and I think that made the process to finally resume, and it all went pretty quickly by then!
My new iPhone 13 will not complete loading after transfer from old iPhone SE. Why?
All apps stuck loading on iPhone 13 after transfer
