44MLX Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 Hi, I'm using my iPad 3 and was downloading apps from the app store. It was working fine but now when i try to download an app it says waiting and I've been waiting for 5 mins and still no progress. Any advice? Thanks.

Glassed Silver Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 Probably some BIG app download going on that queues your said app's download. Glassed Silver:mac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glassed Silver Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 3.9mb big enough? Nope :p Unless you are in some BAD coverage area with WiFi off. Glassed Silver:mac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philcruicks Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 That happened to me eariler but I think thats cause I started an iCloud restore...then realised it was syncing every app from my iPhone...thought it was just gonna do mail, notes, cal, reminders etc...so I stopped it then then it went a bit odd....I only just got it so did a complete restore from iTunes and started again fresh.... Have you tried the classic switch it off and on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philcruicks Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 Can you hold down to get em jiggly, and then delete and re-download? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
44MLX Posted March 17, 2012 Author Share Posted March 17, 2012 Did that but it says that I have already purchased the app, but won't start re-download. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hardcore Til I Die Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 When I downloaded infinity blade it was stuck on waiting for about five minutes. I just left it, went and did something and when I came back it was under way :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
44MLX Posted March 19, 2012 Author Share Posted March 19, 2012 I resetted my iPad through settings, deleted all settings and content. Now working fine, anyone who had the same trouble could do so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bangbang023 Veteran Posted March 28, 2012 Veteran Share Posted March 28, 2012 Happened on both my iPad and iPhone recently. Seems to be better now so I'm assuming it was something server side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
