I am trying to download GTA San Andreas for my iPad mini and in the App Store it says it's done but the app on my home screen says "Waiting" and it's been over 7 hours since I downloaded it.

I am trying to download GTA San Andreas for my iPad mini and in the App Store it says it's downloaded but won't say 'Open' and on my home screen it says "Downloading" I have plenty of space for it to download on my iPad but it just won't. I already paid and everything, please help!

iPad, iOS 7.0.4

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.

Another thing to try - Turn the iPad Off & then back ON.


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.
