Unable to Download Application Message

I recently tried to update 8 or 9 of my apps on my iPhone 4s through a wifi connection. Since I had to leave the wifi connection, I paused all the apps. I now have 3G service and am tryin to continue to update the apps, but continually get either the "Waiting" message underneath the app, or the title of the app, and a message saying "Unable to Download Application", saying whichever app "could not be downloaded at this time." I'm given to option to be "Done" or to "Retry". If I am chose done, nothing happens and the app is unable to be used, if I chose "Retry" I continually get the same message stating the app could not be downloaded. NONE of these apps are over 20MB, including "Angry Birds", Newstand purchases, and the iBooks application. I've tried re setting the phone and closing all tasks and nothing happens. Any suggestions please?

iPhone 4S, iOS 5.0.1

For UK Virgin customers. Problems with your Super Hub could be causing issues with your IPhone/IPadMacbook. Are you getting "Unable to download application" or errors associated with a download. If so, it is an issue with your Modem/Router. This problem may be effecting other users in different countries who use an ISP with a faulty system. In tech speak it seems to be an issue with NAT acceleration. Full article in the link below.

Cable ISP Virgin Media UK has begun preparing the finalR37 Firmware update for their traumatised SuperHub(NetGear) wireless router / modem kit, which claims to fix the notorious corrupt downloads bug on their superfast broadband service. Not to mention a few problems withwifi and unexpected rebooting.

The SuperHub, which is now roughly two years old, seems to have experienced no end of problems since its introduction. Slow speeds, unstable wifi connectivity, random rebooting and most recently the corrupted downloads bug (seemingly introduced with the R36 firmware in July 2012) have all plagued the device at one time or another.

Thankfully Virgin Media, which said last month that it had been “working at the highest priority to develop new firmware to help address the issues reported by some of our customers“, now claims to have received “positive feedback” about NetGear’slatest R36T13 test update, which alongside a few extra fixes looks set to become the official “R37 production build firmware“.

Simply "double tap" the icon and it will continue installing.
