cosmyn · Feb 1, 2012

Hi everyone !!!
I posted here because every time I download and install an app on my iphone4 its working OK but when I connect the iphone to the internet I cant open the app anymore... Under the app says "waiting" and if disconect the iphone from the internet same thing.
Can anyone help me please ???

PS: sorry for my bad english...

that is probably due to your internet connection.. let it download and even if it takes a long time just let it do its thing, most likely the file you are trying to download is large in file size

cosm.... are you asking about an app that has already been installed on the iPhone? And --- the iPhone is always connected to the Internet if your 3G and/or wi-fi is enabled. (why would you "disconnect" the iPhone from the Internet while trying to run an app?) Please explain further. Thanks.

After I install the app with the itunes is working, but of the iphone is connected to the internet I cant run it anymore. I disconnect the iphone same thing from now on "waiting" .
Its not one app every app that i am installing its says waiting. I have internet 8h per day + the wi-fi. The apps have max 40mb and my internet speed with the 3G activated is fast. How can I show you one screenshot ???

Try either a restart or a reset of the phone to see if you can clear those waiting icons. To do:

Restart: Hold down the power button until the power off slider appears. Slide it off. When the iPhone finishes shutting down, hold down the power button again until the Apple logo appears.

Reset: Hold both the power and home buttons until the screen goes dark and the Apple logo then appears (the slide to unlock screen may or may not appear). Once the logo appears, release the buttons. After a time, your homescreen will appear. Please note that it may take some time for the Apple logo to appear or for your homescreen to appear (or both). This is normal. Eventually, the homescreen will appear.

Just to add a little something to what Marilyn has suggested.... neither of these options will cause you to lose any data or information (stuff on your iPhone). Only reason I like to add this is because it comes up a lot when the "Reset" word is thrown out there... LOL!!!

I think I can help cosmyn explain what is happening a little better happens to me to. When syncing with iTunes some apps start to sync but when u disconnected from iTunes the app just sits on the screen waiting like it would say if you started installing a file larger than 20m while on wifi from app store then left wifi area.

I think what cosmyn is trying to ask is when I sync to iTunes some apps don't install completely they are sitting on the home screen like they would be if you started installing an app from app store over 20m using wifi then left wifi area before finished. Not sure why they don't install since they are coming from backed up iTunes apps.

The working apps from the screenshot are old apps. I have this problem from about 2 weeks ago....

So I will try to explain you step by step...
I download the app (apps) with itunes then sync with my iphone to install it, afrer the sync is done IF i my iphone is connected to the internet, the app is already showing me that "waiting" and I cant run the app. If the iphone is not connected to the internet I can run the app normaly, but if I connect the iphone to the internet after 5 min, 1h, 1d....after i install the app it appears me the "waiting" for ever. That means that if I disconnect the iphone from the internet, the app will remain the same. Thats all and I dont know what to do to repair the problem... So if you mates have aby ideea pls tell me.
