iPad App Updates Are Frozen - Help Please!

Try this and see if the updates will resume on their own. If they do not resume on their own, try tapping on one of the app icons again and see what happens.

Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

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.

iTunes: How to resume interrupted iTunes Store downloads

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.

There is a big flaw in the IOS 8 software and the apps get stuck updating. To fix this you should shut off the wifi on the iPad and then shut off the iPad itself completely. Wait 30 seconds and then restart the iPad. Then wait about 2 minutes and turn the wifi back on. You will begin to see the apps start updating. I think that Apple is trying to frustrate and test us--but we always seem to figure it out. This would have never happened if Steve Jobs were still running the show.

You do realize that when the OP first asked about the apps updating, iOS 8 wasn't even out yet? Kimbroad posted in July. iOS 8 came out about two weeks ago. I don't think that you can blame iOS 8 for kimbroad's problem.

I know--but this seems to be happening every time there is a major update to the operating system. I love Apple but they are really starting to screw up. Had Steve Jobs still have been with us, I am virtually certain that they would have already come out with a real working Time Travel machine!!!
