if you have a download in there that did not finish, complete that one first. Make sure that you do not have a stalled download in iTunes - a song or podcast.

Maybe something in here will help ignore what you have already tried. This is my boilerplate response to the 'apps will not update or install' issue. Thanks for any help you guys can offer! =)

Has this happened anybody else? Anybody have any ideas?įor the record, I can still download apps onto my computer in iTunes and then sync those apps to my devices, I just can't download apps directly from my devices. Plus, how can it be a hardware problem when it's happening on BOTH of my devices? It sounds like a problem with my account on their end, but they had no idea. I'd rather not do that because it's a pain. I called Apple support and the only thing they had to offer was to do a factory reset on both my iPad and iPhone. It's basically what you would expect would happen if the store was down or my internet was down, except neither is the case. I click 'install', it asks for my password, it goes back to the home screen and the icon pops up and it says 'waiting…' underneath, and then nothing ever happens. For the past few days I've been unable to download any apps from the App Store on my iOS devices, including the iPad and iPhone.
