IPhone apps are stuck updating?

Last night I tried to update a few of my apps, but since then, they have all just been saying "Waiting…" And haven't been doing anything at all. I can't go on the apps. I have tried to click them which doesn't work and I have even tried to switch my phone off and then on again. Can anyone tell me why this isn't working and have you ever experienced this before? My iPhone is the 4s.

Yeah it's usually because your phone looses the connection to the internet as you're updating the apps. If restarting the phone doesn't work you may have to uninstall then reinstall the apps.

  • Will updating my iPhone's software delete purchased apps and songs? I'm going to update my iPhone's 6.1.4 software to ios 7 when it is released in a few days. Some of my apps aren't available in the App Store anymore so will the update delete these apps off my phone?
  • Will updating my iPhone apps affect my phone speed as how updating the Operating System (OS) will? Currently I'm using the iPhone 5s on iOS 8.3 I know if I were to update my phone to the latest OS I may notice some slowdown on my phone's performance, since it may not have the "muscle" to handle certain functions. Many apps now are optimised for iOS 9 and/or the 6th generation phones. Will my 5s' speed performance slow down if I update my apps? Will the app's performance slow down?
  • Will updating my iphone 4s iOS erase my apps? I have an update available to a version 6 for my iPhone 4s, I have the memory space needed but I'm afraid i might lose my apps and the data that is with em. Will it erase my apps? Or will they be there when the update finishes?
  • Stuck iPhone 4 lock button! Stuck/Stripped screws Okay so, I've had this stupid panda case on my phone and it jammed my lock button. It still works if you push super hard from the side, but no clicking sound. I saw how to fix it by opening my phone up but the screws won't come out no matter what! I tried a screwdriver alone, with duct tape, rubber band, double sided tape, everything! I don't have a warranty on my phone, and I'm looking for a super inexpensive (>$5) way to fix it, any ideas?
