App download stuck at "Waiting..."

Hi

I had a similar thing on my i-phone. I plugged it into the my computer opened itunes. Under the sync options under the i-PHONE device in i-TUNES,

• unchecked the apps that were stuck in waiting.
• Click on apply
• sync phone with i-TUNES on computer
• turned phone off and on
• checked the app (that I unchecked earlier)
• click apply
• sync phone with i-TUNES on computer
• turned phone off then on

The app no longer was stuck in waiting.

Hope this helps

If there are multiple apps trying to download at once, only one can download at a time and the rest say "Waiting" until it is then their turn. Try this. Double tap the icon of the Waiting app, and it should resume the download.

If that doesn't work:

• Log out of your iTunes store account. Go to Settings > Store > Sign Out Then press the Home button.

• Then press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously and don't release them when it brings up the Turn Off screen; keep holding them until the Apple logo appears.

• After restart, the Waiting should be gone.

How to fix.

1) Hold down the app icon until it starts wobbling.

2) Press the cross in the top left area of the app.

3) Press delete.

4) Re-install the app

*Note. If it is a paid app, you will NOT be charged twice.

I tried it all ans still not updating. Any leads? So i deleted all the apps that were stucked, signed out the store and reset the ipad. Now I am only installing one app and still not doing anything. Please help

Mine got stuck during an upgrade (in other words, I already had the app; it was not a new download). Here's what worked for me: went to Notifications Center and found the app's settings were "On." I set them all to off and reset the iPad: problem solved!

check your itunes download queue. I had 18 items stuck and it did not try to download anything before I cleared that. I had the same problem with apps stuck in waiting and had tried reboot and deleting the app and retry but what finally solved the issue was clearing the iTunes download queue.

Good luck everyone.

This fixed my issue completely. I had set icloud to redownload all my music content the other day and didn't realize that this would stop the apps from downloading until all the music was finished updating on my iPhone 5. The real issue is that there's no real notification that your apps are being stalled because of the music downloads unless you open up iTunes separately and look at your queue. Thanks for the help! This really took care of a major headache!

I have the same problem on my phone, pad and touch
