Hold down the home button and power buttons for about 15 seconds, until the Apple Logo appears. Then, your device should reboot, and it may work.
There seems to be a number of similar threads, so it looks like there might be a problem with iTunes and the App Store, not with your iPad
Hi
I've been trying to download apps and updates for apps for over 2 weeks. The last comment was over 6 months ago so does anyone know what might be happening?
Thanks
Mike
Have you got anything downloading in Podcast?
Hi Diavonex
No I don't have anything downloading.
Diavonex
Got it- you were right I did have a Podcast trying to download.
Many thanks
Mike
Clear that and things will start moving again 🙂
I have a 3gs and i have 10 apps that won't download the updates. I've tried reseting the device. rebooting the device, syncing and nothing works. One of the apps the won't download is iBooks is there something going on with Apple I've found a few threads on this from this month.
Please take note that 3G have a 20MB restriction on download. You may need to clear your "Waiting" Apps using WiFi.
I've been using Wifi for the Apps updates on my home network and the apps still don't download i also tried download one app at a time and nothing has worked.
Try a reset. Hold the Sleep and Home button down for about 10 seconds until you see the Apple logo.
I started with trying a reset before making my post and I also tried syncing the device both did not work for me. Still have the same 10 apps on the update list. i tried download iBooks alone and that get the Unable to Download Application message
I am still stuck with ten iphone apps that won't download. Here is what I've tried
All attempts at downloading are being done via wifi.
1) turning the phone on and off
2) resetting the phone
3) syncing the phone
None have worked
Phone Model 3GS
Version 5.0.1 (9A405)
Problem started in January like the many other threads I am finding.
I have the same problem and did reset the ipad
What I did is I deleted the apps that would not download from my iphone. Then resynced my iphone to reinstall the app onto my phone. Then I downloaded the updates for each app via wifi and that cleared the problem for me
