Nov 8, AM in response to Billfromcottonwood In response to Billfromcottonwood Same thing here except some of my apps have downloaded. View answer in context. If I understand correctly, you are unable to finish installing apps on your new iPhone X after setting up and restoring from your iCloud backup.

To help resolve this issue, please force close the App Store app and restart your device as iOS clears cached data and does other system optimizations when you turn your device off and on. Then open the App Store app and test if these apps will reinstall on your iPhone.

Called apple care - They advised I restore again. After 12 hour 54 apps ready under not on this iphone 84 app after 16 hours under all 84 apps after 26 hours.

Method 1. Still didn't change anything. When I clicked the cloud icon, it started downloading. After two deletes, I just tapped on the blue cloud and it started to download. It appears it will only do one app at at time this way. You can select 2, but they download one by one.

At this point, I went to the home screen touched a darkened app and it started downloading. You can touch more than one but the download one ofter the other. You still have to reenter passwords and ID.

Page content loaded. I was having the same issue. None of my apps were finished downloading and my phone would not lock. None of my apps would open nor would my control center come up. I spent the day speaking to different apple representatives and none of us could figure out what to do. After many different attempts, I knew from the start that all I had to do was to get it to turn off but it wouldn't force restart nor go into safe mode or anything.

I even tried connecting it to my MacBook Air to restore it again or update it and it wouldn't work. Until, well I'm not sure if all iPhone's do this but if you click the lock button three times, AssistiveTouch comes up.

So my assumption is that maybe the restore process just never finished, I really don't know but hey it works now!

Nov 20, PM. Sorry for the poor grammar and typos in my original post. Getting used to the X. Not that that is an excuse for grammar. I was unable to edit my original post. Here is a cleaner version. Anyways, the Restore gets stuck trying to download apps that are dead and missing from the App Store or that are incompatible with iOS You can tap on these and pause the download.

Hide these by swiping left. Hide all those with a greyed out iCloud. While you are at it, hide any garbage you no longer want either. Back on your home screen, delete any apps that are in the loading phase. Once you do this you can selectively get back on track by picking and choosing the apps you want in the App Store.

As others have noted, this completely obliterated the advantage of restoring from iCloud. Having your iPhone malfunction to the point that it needs to be restored to factory settings is bad enough -- losing all the apps you paid for would be worse. The good news is that as long as you still have access to the Apple ID you used to purchase the apps, you can download them again without paying. The bad news is that you're not getting the data from that app back unless you've made a backup either through iCloud or through iTunes.

When you use iCloud Photos , your photos and videos automatically upload to iCloud. After you restore your device from iCloud Backup, stay connected to Wi-Fi so that your photos and videos can begin to download. Not sure if iCloud Photos was turned on when you made the backup? If iCloud Photos is turned on, then the photos were stored in iCloud Photos. Stay connected to Wi-Fi until the process finishes. The time it takes to restore depends on the size of your backup and the speed of your Wi-Fi network.

They remain updated and available across your devices because they live in iCloud. If you want to save your iWork files manually, you can save them to your Mac or PC.
