Apps stuck on waiting but I don't want to delete them?

Today I turned my internet on (iPhone 4S) to check if I had any emails. Once I checked that I didn't, I saw that a few apps had started to download. I freaked out because I have barely any internet left, so I quickly deleted them all and turned my internet off before they could start downloading. I'm pretty sure the apps that were downloading were some that I had downloaded from iTunes on my computer and then synced into onto my phone, until I realised they were boring so i deleted them. But now I've just realised that during that short time that I had my internet on, it also started to update some apps. Now they're stuck on "waiting". I've looked on the internet for ideas but they all say to delete them and then download them again. I don't want to do this because then I will lose progress/files that are on the apps. Does anyone know how to get them off "waiting"?

Added (1). @ Geno. Yep I tried turning turning it off and then back on again, nothing:/ And I put my internet back on for 10 minutes and nothing happened… It stayed on waiting.

Have you turned off the phone and turned it back on? Also, you can wait until your data resets, then turn back on the internet.

  • MY Iphone 4s apps are stuck in waiting? For the past 4 days I've had 3 apps stuck in "waiting", 2 are new and 1 is an upgrade. I've tried everything, even resetting all settings and nothing works. I hold down on the apps and I don't even get the option of deleting them to re-download them. Any ideas?

They load immediately on my parents phone but not mine. I've tired clearing history and cookies, I've tried restarting it, getting a better connection, everything.

  • I want to get an iPhone but i don't want the data? I want a iPhone but i can't afford data. My carrier said that i can get one without the data plan and the guy said he could disble it and not use it or charge me for it. Can i just use it like a iPod touch? AND MOST IMPORTANTLY can i get apps? (instagram ask.fm minecraft nyan cat
