  Take care over the “Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings” recommendations – seems you’ll need to redefine all your preferences if you do that!
  1. go to the app store
  2. go to the updates section (at the bottom right corner)
  3. find that stuck waiting apps there.
  4. you will see a "stop logo with a circle around it". press it. the logo will change to "update"
  5. do the same for all those apps that are stuck waiting.
  6. exit and return to home
  7. you will see the app is now active. Now press-hold it for a while. All apps start shaking.
  8. delete the app.
  9. reinstall it from app store

In essence, the suggested processes are:

1. First process:
   1. Select "Settings, General, Date and Time" and set "Set Automatically to "Off".
   2. Manually set the date one year ahead.
   3. Try to re-download the app again - it will probably fail, because the date is so far ahead.
   4. Select "Settings, General, Date and Time" and set "Set Automatically to "On".
   5. Try to re-download the app again - hopefully it will now work.
2. Second process:
   1. Select "Settings, Wi-Fi" and turn Wi-Fi off and then on again.
   2. Try to re-download the app again - hopefully it will now work.
3. Third process, if first and second processes didn't resolve the issue:
   1. Restart your iOS device.
      • Simply press and hold the sleep/wake button AND the "Home" button at the same time until the device reboots and you see a white Apple logo.
   2. Select "Settings, iTunes & App Store, Your Apple ID, Sign Out".
   3. Restart your iOS device again (see above).
   4. Select "Settings, iTunes & App Store, Your Apple ID, Sign In".
   5. Try to re-download the app again - hopefully it will now work.
