cannot download apps to iPad since iOS 5.1 update.  Get error message "An unexpected error has occurred"

Hi mike,
Seems like a frustrating problem! Try restarting your device, and trying again. If that doesn't work, in settings, under store, tap your apple id at the bottom of the page, and then sign out. Sign back in again, and try again.
Also, check you have enough remaining space on your iPad for the app you want to download, you can do this in settings, then general, then usage.
I also reccomend buying the app in iTunes on your computer, and then syncing it to your device.
Let me know how you get on, and I'll get back to you with further help if needed,
Nathan

    I don't totally understand what you are trying to do. Do you have an Apple ID and have you registered a valid credit card with iTunes?

  • Yahoo! Mail in Mail App on iPad 2 iOS 7.0.3 Shows Unread Message Count

    Yahoo! Mail in Mail App on iPad 2 iOS 7.0.3 shows unread message count when the Inbox is empty.  This has been an ongoing issue since iOS 7 rolled out.  I was hoping with this latest update that this problem would be fixed.  Just wanted to report it.  If someone knows where bugs get reported, I'd appreciate the link.
    None of my other mail programs have this problem.
    I perform a reset (holding down the Home button and the Power button) and sometimes this clears it out and sometimes not.  Plus, I don't want to reset my iPad on a constant basis just to clear my mail count.
    Any insight or additional information is appreciated.

    I think it's an issue with yahoo. I have the same basic set up as you and will open my mail, see that I have 4 unread for example, read them, exit mail and have the red bubble still reading 4 unread mail. Usually it catches up and corrects in a little bit.
    Probably jus a glitch between yahoo and the mail app and not much you can do as a user but wait it out or get used to it...or I understand that there's a yahoo app if it really bugs you.

  • HT203040 iPhone 4S Camera app not working since iOS 8.2 update.

    Since downloaded iOS 8.2 on my iPhone 4S the camera won't work. It is just black. Sometimes we can scroll between photo, video etc, but most the time the whole thing is locked up. I have tried rebooting the phone. Nothing works.
    Please Apple Support Team fix this issue.

  • HT5957 After downloading iOS 7 on my mini iPad I cannot download apps fron the Apps store.likewise I cannot update the apps that needs to be updated. Please advise.

    After downloading iOS 7 on my iPad mini I cannot download apps from the Apps store. Likewise I cannot update the existing apps which needed updating. In addition apps would just close or hang up.please help. How can I correct these?

    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    I'm curious...
    What happens when you attempt to download from the App store?

  • Cannot download apps or login to app store on ipad

    Hi everyone.
    I've moved my family over to family sharing instead of having everyone on my ID.
    All working OK except my sons ipad air.
    Cannot download apps (put in password and it just goes straight back to the 'get' button, no error message)
    Have tried:
    forcing ipad to shut down.
    Logging out of store.
    attempted to download app whilst logged out of store. Still same problem.
    Tried my ID to login or download. Same problem.
    Have checked family settings to make sure he can download apps without asking. All OK.
    Apps are age appropriate.
    Restrictions are set to allow apps to download
    time settings are on automatic
    Forgetting network and setting it up again.
    using phone as hotspot didn't work either
    Now a further problem:
    Logged out of iTunes and App store. Cannot log back in on his ipad. Works on his phone and my computer, so the password and username are 100% correct.
    Does anyone have anything else I can try?
    Thanks, Zelly

    I Am having The exact same issue.  I know my Apple ID is correct.  I can log in to anything from safari or on a computer, but cannot log in to the App Store. When I click on download, it asked for my password.  I typed it, and it asked again (no error message).  I typed it again.  It asked again.  I typed it again and then it asked if I wanted to use an existing I'd or a new one.  I clicked existing.  Typed in my email and password, clicked ok.  Then it asked me again... Existing or create a new one.  This happens every time now.
    steps I have tried:
    I tried to reset my password.  No good.
    I tried logging out from settings and logging back in there.  No good.  (In fact, in settings, it won't even let me TRY to login.  I click on the blank Apple ID box and it asks if I want to use an existing or create a new one.  I click existing and nothing happens.  No option to login at all.)
    I tried resetting all settings.  No good.
    I tried a full reset (all content and settings). No good.
    I tried resetting DNS.  No good.
    I Tried multiple different networks.  No good.
    if it matters, I do have a MDM device that is set up through my work's Active Directory.  But it worked fine a few days ago before upgrading to iOS 8.3.
    WHen I did the full reset, I was able to login to my work's configuration, but when it got to the set up Apple ID menu, I had to skip it because it still would not let me log in.
    aany ideas?

  • When I download an app I had to put in payment settings cause it was expiring,after that it was downloading but then said 'cannot download because your ipad does not enough space' but I actually have 3.3 gb while the game is 1.4 .pls tell what to do

    When I download an app I had to put in payment settings cause it was expiring,after that i paid and it was downloading but then said 'cannot download because your ipad does not enough space' but I actually have 3.3 gb while the game is 1.4 . I tried rebooting and powering off but still it didnt work even when I clicked the app( which still hasn't downloaded yet). What do I do now?

    The GB size of the download file is the compressed size (like .zip or .dmg). When the file is installed/uncompressed it can be 2-3 times larger.
    How much space is used by your Other? You may be able to reduce.
    How Do I Get Rid Of The “Other” Data Stored On My iPad Or iPhone?
    http://tinyurl.com/85w6xwn
    With an iOS device, the “Other” space in iTunes is used to store things like documents, settings, caches, and a few other important items. If you sync lots of documents to apps like GoodReader, DropCopy, or anything else that reads external files, your storage use can skyrocket. With iOS 5/6, you can see exactly which applications are taking up the most space. Just head to Settings > General > Usage, and tap the button labeled Show All Apps. The storage section will show you the app and how much storage space it is taking up. Tap on the app name to get a description of the additional storage space being used by the app’s documents and data. You can remove the storage-hogging application and all of its data directly from this screen, or manually remove the data by opening the app. Some applications, especially those designed by Apple, will allow you to remove stored data by swiping from left to right on the item to reveal a Delete button.

  • TS3274 Cannot download apps from the apps store. iOS 7.0.4.

    I recently upgraded to version iOS 7.0.4. For my ipad 4. Now I cannot download apps from the apps store. Any suggestions?

    The ipad is brand new. It downloaded the apps fine until I updated to the ios 7.0.4. two days ago. When I choose an app from the app store, I can select it and it appears to begin to download (it spins in circles). It does not prompt me for my Apple password. However, it generates a blank, undownloaded app on the ipad. It says waiting underneath the app. I hope that explains it better.
    I also reset the ipad and it prompted me to either cancel or purchase several items. I have small children and it appears they were trying to buy upgrades and boosts for games alreadly on the ipad. I have tried to download another game and this time it has prompt me for my password. The app has come onto the screen and it is stuck in the waiting phase of the download.

  • HT204204 I cannot download apps because they require newer software, but I also cannot update my iOS 5.1.1 to 8.0...why?

    I cannot download apps because they require iOS8.0 and my iPad has iOS 5.1.1 and will now let me update to 8.0! Why?

    Sorry to say that you may be at a dead-end as far your your device goes. You can't update to any iOS version above 5.1.1 due to hardware limitations of the iPad 1st gen...thus, you cannot use newer apps that are released. Use the link that Niel provided. You are still able to use the apps that are currently on the device but as far as newer apps that require iOS greater than 5.1.1, you're stuck.
