Why aren't my apps downloading?

I have a iPhone 3GS and I downloaded 2 iTunes songs and its been 4 hours and it still says: preparing to download

Also I downloaded an app from the store and it says waiting. I'm not downloading anything right now other than the songs and I'm so confused

I don't defiantly know what's wrong but heres three things:

1) Go into Settings, General, usage and check you have enough MB/GB left to download. It normally shows an error message if you can't download an app but yours may be different, so check that out. Delete any apps, music, or photos you may not need and try again.

2) Plug your phone into iTunes and check whether it comes up on there that you've downloaded it.

3) Is your iOS updated to the newest software? This may be the problem, make sure you check that out.

If none of these tips work, check out an Apple Forum or take it into the store. You may also try turning your phone off and on, and check if it still doesn't work.

Hope this helps!

I'm trying to download 2 apps and it's been hours and neither one is downloading please help

  • Why many Iphone apps aren't available internationally? Why many Iphone apps are not available internationally? I live in Finland and I use of course Finnish Appstore. But I can't download many apps I'd really like to get (Metacritic's, GameSpot's and Eurogamer's Iphone applications for example).It seems that they are only available in US Appstore. Is there any way to get those to Finnish iDevice? There are many more examples, I just named a few.

  • Why aren't my headphones to my iPhone 4s not working? I just got the iPhone 4s a couple of months ago. I haven't even touched my headphones until last night, & they're not working? I'm trying to listen to Pandora. I dunno what's going on. It seems if I screw in the headphones extra tight and keep hold it plays through the headphones for a second. Anyone else have this problem or know why this is happening?
