Partial download of app stuck in pause

Hey M-wall,

Thanks for the question. I understand you have an app that seems stuck or "Waiting". The following is a past discussion that dealt with a similar issue, the answer may help you as well:

App updates won't download on my...: Apple Support Communities

Try tapping the App, so that it changes to Paused instead of Waiting, then tap it again to resume the install.

Make sure you don't have any paused downloads in other apps either, like the App Store or iTunes Store.

If that doesn't do it, try resetting or restoring the iPhone.

I know that most of these posts were put up a little while ago
But.

I too had a similar problem and an "error" message (waiting for changes to be applied)
- my thoughts were:
Something to do with update to IOS 7.4
Corruption

Itunes software issue

After a LOT of research, I found a simple step that solved this issue for me.
I had been running my sync (pre - IOS 7.4) as automatic - see the options section under the summary tab
This can be viewed when you click on your device - right up the top you'll see tabs
SUMMARY / INFO / APPS / TONES / MUSIC / MOVIES / TV SHOWS / BOOKS / PHOTOS etc.

I changed my selection to manually manage music and videos and tried another sync
Wha La!
It began to copy over 700 songs that had not properly synced to my Ipad 2
BONUS: it then started to sync my videos again.
Hope this helps somebody.
It certainly made my life less frustrating

Downside: I have to MANUALLY manage - but it's better than all the hassles
🙂

NB: I don't know why this error occurs and I'm not sure this fix will work for everyone's issues but it can't hurt.

Hey M-wall,

Thanks for the follow up. I’m glad to hear that we got you on the right track! Have a great day!
