Application issues after downloaded

**siddo_d** · 10-06-2012, 03:25 AM

This has happened more than once and is really annoying, apple need to fix it.

If you're unaware at what I'm talking about, after a download has completed a duplicate appears and shows 'installing' and doesn't go away unless I reboot

I'm not sure I understand what you are getting at. You show a picture of an app that is currently installing but haven't provided any other information as to what the issue is. I see there are two Flixster apps there but one could be a lite or alternative version.

Any chance you could elaborate further so that further posters can provide a meaningful response please mate?

I know what you're talking about, OP. it took a reboot to get rid of the duplicate icon. I find if you let it download completely and not touch it beforehand it doesn't seem to happen.

it's self explanatory…

Yah, rebooting the phone fixes it every time for me. I agree, it's still annoying as heck.

Fortunately the person who posted third has provided enough info for me to work out what you were trying to say. Never having the issue myself, I was unaware of what you were getting at.

It's an odd phenomenon and one I assume has appeared in IOS6? I don't have it on either my iPad or iPhone which are both on iOS6 and certainly didn't have it on any IOS5 devices.

Fair enough and this is a iOS 6 issue and happened to my iPhone 4 when I updated it

It has only happened on my iPhone 5. It's never happened on my iPad 2 which is iOS 6 also. Looks like its an iPhone 5 thing more than an iOS thing... But I'm not sure.

I've had this issue on iOS 6 since the first beta.

Nice to know. I'll retract my comment then, guess it is an iOS 6 issue - but I can only replicate on my phone and not my iPad - so either it's inherent to phones and not to iPads or I just have lucked out.

Seems to be worse if I'm downloading multiple apps at the same time - when I did an iCloud restore when I first got my phone, I had maybe 3 or 4 duplicate icons before rebooting. I haven't had it happen lately but I've also got pretty much exactly what I want/need at this point.
