Numbers and Pages Update 'waiting' on IoS

I have the same problem, but it's Keynote that is hanging at about 60% complete installation of the update on an iPad Air 2. Have tried numerous things -- shutting down iPad and restarting, logging out of iTunes and logging back in, using "update" button in iTunes instead of WiFi update. I don't want to jump to the ultimate trick of doing a full reset on the iPad yet, but that may be necessary unless something changes because it is impossible to delete the partial, hung up installation of Keynote from the iPad (holding down the icon until it jiggles and hitting the "x"does nothing). If it's an Apple problem, hope they address it. Otherwise, every iTunes sync on with the Mac involves perpetual spinning arrows on the iPad, even after the sync is supposedly done. Requires a shutdown and reboot of the iPad to get it back to normal (except, of course , that Keynote is still toast)

I Have the same issue but with Numbers. Pages and Keynote seem ok.

I have the same issue. I had updates for Pages, Numbers and Keynote. Keynote updated fine. Numbers and Pages appear to complete the download part(the progress circle is complete) but the icon shows the install portion stopped around 60% or so. If I cancel the download in the app store update screen the app icon stays partially completed. Restarting, removing etc all do nothing. I have tried this on multiple networks and get the same results. I have a 64 GB iphone 6, and have 22 GB free, so space isn't an issue. Having no other apps running makes no difference.

My iPad Air updated all three apps with no issues. Both iPad and iPhone are on 8.3.

I don't really use them that much...but it is still annoying and I would expect apple software to have less install issues.

Same problem on my iPad Air .... waiting, won't load. Did, however, load fine on my iPhone 5.

Have tried restarting..no good. Tried to delete the Numbers app...no good. Synced with iTunes...no good. Tried deleting Numbers with iTunes...no good.

Nothing seems to work.

Same here but I haven't updated to 8.3 yet on my iPad Air

Still the same situation for me (iPad Air 2, running 8.3; Keynote stuck in "Waiting" mode, or at 60% when I try to sync with iTunes on the Mac). I can't believe a total reset is going to be necessary for one balky update, but it seems a possibility. Quite a waste of time 😟 Wonder why the press-jiggly icon-x delete method does not work? Seems odd. Well, I'm still going to hold out a few more days -- good thing Keynote is not an app I need to use daily.

SSame heer, tried multiple reboots. Cant delete the app tho, when I click "delete" nothing happens. Please fix this apple

I have the same problem with the Pages. I really dont want o spend 2+ hrs to restore the whole iPhone fix it Apple.

I have exactly the same problem. So far I have tried the following with no change:

• Uninstall and reinstall numbers from iPad itself
• Uninstall and reinstall numbers using iTunes
• Uninstall numbers, then Full reboot of iPad, then tried reinstall
• Restore iPad from backup which was made prior to when the problem started

How about some help from Apple?

Having a similar problem. Was notified of an update to Pages on my iPad 2. The update downloaded, but the install got stuck at about 60%. I can't delete the app from the iPad or from iTunes. Tried rebooting iPad, resetting router, resetting iPad - no luck. And now iTunes won't start a sync so I can't update anything else on my iPad until this is fixed. What's the answer?

I think we may need to contact Apple Support directly to get a fix for this. I keep thinking it will be resolved, but it's not happening.

I just did a hard reset - hold the start and power buttons until you see the Apple logo.

This fixed the problem, now all Keynote, numbers and Pages update fine.

Hope this helps others with this problem.

Glad for you that it worked! I tried that a few days ago with no change, but am now inspired to try it again. I really don't want to do the full factory reset and re- install everything!

Follow-up: no joy. Keynote still stuck in never-land.
