App stuck loading and no longer found in iTunes store - how do I delete it??

Hey guys,

I really need your help here. I started installing a game yesterday and it had trouble loading all the way up until now. Today it's still stuck on "loading," grayed out, and I haven't found any way of deleting it from my computer or phone.

Normally when this happens I'd go back into the iTunes App store and try to re-download to get it moving again. The problem is that I can't find it in the app store! Worse, I don't even remember it's name (because it won't say on my iphone - just says Loading or Paused) but it was a Top Free game app just yesterday and now I can't even find it in that list. (Is it possible the developers deleted it, now I'm stuck?? GRRR!!)

The app's icon is a picture of a girl with something that looks like red swiss cross, if that rings a bell to anyone (I attached a picture below). She is starting to scare me!

I don't want to restore my phone because it requires Restore and Update. I'm running 3.1.3 which I'm very happy with it. I know that iOS 4 will kill my battery (been there, done that). I just want to get rid of this stupid app! Please help me! Thanks.

 

Thanks, but resetting doesn't get rid of it. I could leave it Paused but the annoying part is that it constantly asks for my iTunes password, and I keep having to choose cancel. Also, if I don't leave it paused, I'm guessing my battery is being killed by it trying to load, as I see that circular load icon in the top corner -- and I don't like that.

 

Can somebody PLEASE help me out here?

1. How do I possibly get rid of the app?
2. Does anybody have ANY IDEA what app this is? If I knew I would contact the developer and tell them to put it back on the store so I can reinstall/delete it.
3. How do I make my phone stop asking for my iTunes password, since it wants to continue downloading the app??

Major thanks to anyone who can help. BTW, I can't even restore to 3.1.3 because apparently Apple isn't signing restores for old software anymore?!? GRRRRRRR.

 

THANKS!! I must've started downloading it when it was free, never finished, so now it's stuck. I'd like to contact the developer to see what they can do for me. Does anyone know how to contact the developer or where to find their information?

 

Great news guys,

The game finally finished downloading last night! Apparently it was loading the whole time but it was SOOO slow, I didn’t notice so I kept getting frustrated and pausing it.

The game (Broken Sword) is ok. It’s a murder mystery. I certainly wouldn’t want to have paid $5 for it, but it’s definitely worth it for free.

 

Noted!
