Thanks a lot. I was searching for that days ago and finally it worked for me.

I tried everything to no avail. Tapped every icon and they just stayed in waiting. I had updated to OS 6, finally, and a large number of apps were stuck. None of the fixes worked. I followed Dave’s advise and the downloads page was blank. I checked in purchases and it prompted me for my apple password. I filled it in. Then went back to downloads, and suddenly there appeared a song download. I deleted it. Went back to look at my apps, and wouldn’t you know, they were loading.

I think my password had been entered wrong or something, and I think that figuring a way to get it to prompt you, or go into your iCloud settings, was the initial trick. Then Dave’s advice along with tapping the icons.

didn’t work for me… if i click on the App Store icon, then Updates, it briefly says “19″ and then it counts down to none, and i have a list of 19 apps that don’t update, next to each is “INSTALLING” ghosted out. this sucks!

I have tried all the suggestions for waiting apps on my ad without success. It has now been over 5 days. This all happened after coming back from a holiday in Australia where I used my iPad without a problem. So frustrated with this. My iPhone is fine and I can still download new apps on my iPad.

Any further suggestions please

Here are a couple of other solutions that I’ve found through various forums:

- Log out of iTunes and log back in, then re-synch (this one worked for me)
- Reset All Settings [Settings/General/Reset/Reset All Settings]

I’m having the same problem, I’ve identified it as a song that won’t download (thanks to the comments above) only I cannot delete it. I open iTunes, select downloads, find the song – but I can’t right swipe it, click on it or anything. HELP

Dave:

Many thanks! I had tried rebooting, tapping stuck apps, and finally deleting all stuck apps (about 14 of them!). No luck. Found this post and indeed, a music download was stuck. Deleted it and everything started working again. Awesome!
