Can anyone tell me why most of my apps are just sitting on my ipad2 saying "waiting" but when I go to my app store it says "installed or installing"...
Regarding your question, yes this sometimes does happen if your Internet connection is slow or you have chosen to download a lot at once. Also whenever you do install an app wait for it to download fully before turning your iPad off. You can just tap on them to get them going again.
