Iphone 4 apps do not download

I try to download an app and it says "waiting" for 3 seconds then disappears. EVERY TIME. I tried creating a new account, restarting phone, checking for software update, lots of different apps, on full 3G service, fast wifi network, nothing works. I'm thinking it is just a dud phone but if someone has a fix let me know. I can sync apps from itunes so that works but not going to do that for every single app I want...

I had the same problem. I turned the phone off and on and also signed out of my account within the app store. When I then tired to download and update apps - the apps actually finished. Hope this helps!

    Make sure you have the Latest Version of iTunes (v11) Installed on your computer

    Try syncing the iPhone to iTunes. If it doesn't appear, then log in to your account and check Purchased.

  • App will not download to iPad when purchased from App Store - stuck with Cloud icon

    Device : iPad Air 32gb wi-fi model (not cellular data)
    OS version : 7.1.1 (up to date)
    Location : UK
    Problem : App will not download to iPad when purchased from App Store - stuck with Cloud icon
    Last night I tried to download an app over wi-fi onto my iPad Air, but the app did not install.
    I have plenty of space (the app is 24.1mb, I have 3.4gb free space) and there are no restrictions whatsoever on my iPad - no blocks on App store purchases, no age-related restrictions, no country restrictions etc.
    Normally from the App Store page you would tap the price (in this case the app was free), enter your iTunes password, and the app would download.
    Also a new icon appears on the home screen and a circle shows the progress of the download.
    However this did not happen.
    Instead I have the Cloud icon (the one that shows when you have bought an app but it is not currently installed on your device) and a message that says "You've already purchased this, so it will be downloaded now at no additional cost".
    If I press OK I am then prompted to enter my iTunes password, the Cloud symbol briefly changes to a circle (and I mean for a split-second, like the blink of an eye) and then the Cloud symbol appears again.
    The app does not download - in fact it does not even *attempt* to download.
    I have tried this >20 times now and it always occurs excatly like this.
    After Googling this problem (which seems common) and reading over a dozen threads on this forum plus Apple's own official support pages, this is what I've tried:
    I can re-download other apps that I have previously purchased on this iPad, with no problems.
    I purchased another app on my iPhone 5 and was then able to download onto my iPad with no problems.
    I have reset my iPad >5 times - both by pressing/holding the home/power buttons, and also a full switch off and restart.
    I have logged out of my iTunes account on the iPad, and logged back in.
    The wi-fi is Virgin Media fibre optic broadband with a verified speed of 20 meg (confirmed by Speedtest) plus an 802.11-n Belkin router and my iPad will happily load web pages, stream videos on YouTube, download other apps etc.
    I have reset/rebooted my internet connection
    In an attempt to eliminate by broadband connection from the possible causes, I have switched off my router, linked my iPad to the hotspot feature on my iPhone and tried to download the app over cellular data, but still cannot download the app.
    I have tried on 2 other wi-fi networks but still cannot download this one app.
    My iTunes account has a cerdit balance from an iTunes card, but the app was free anyway
    Nothing I try will download the app in question.
    The app is iPad only, so I cannot install on my iPhone to try and kick-start the process.
    I guess I could install the app on my computer and then sync the iPad, but that's *working around* the problem - it's not *fixing* the problem.
    (Since getting the iPad I use almost never use my computer. And anyway what if I did not have a computer? Didn't iOS go "PC-free" with version 5?)
    I would like to call Apple but my 90-day telephone support has expired (the iPad is around 6 months old) and I don't want to buy Apple Care for this one problem.
    I can't make it to an Apple Store to speak to a Genius.
    Bearing in mind the list of things I've already tried, what do I do next?
    Thanks in advance for any support.

    Hi there.
    Thank you very much for your quick reply, it's really appreciated.
    No need to apologize, I actually found the phrase "If your iPad ever craps the bed" amusing under the circumstances
    I checked the list of installed apps like you suggested (Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Show all apps) but this problem app is not in the list. I have also swiped down on the home screen to search for it, but again it does not show.
    While it has not let me download the app (and I just tried it again) it has helped me to eliminate a few things from the list of what to try, and I can definitely conclude that it has not downloaded.
    I guess I need to fire up my PC and download it / sync my iPad.
    Thanks again for your help

  • I created an Apple ID on my iPhone, but I can not download any application because a message appears saying that iTunes can not login.

    I created an Apple ID on my iPhone, but I can not download any application because a message appears saying that iTunes store can not login. The strange thing is that my Apple ID works perfectly when I try to access my icloud browser on my iMac and even I join this forum. I login with my ID system icloud without problems! Why can not I download applications? What relationship has between iTunes store and iCloud?

    You cannot download the same Apps that you have on your iPhone. They are two seperate stores.
    The store you have on your iPhone is the same for any iDevice (iPad, iPhone and iPod)
    The store on your MacBook is only for Macs.

    Ok, it sounds like you are getting to the final step. (i.e., Your on your iPhone, showing a good Wi-Fi connection, you are using the App Store and have selected the App you want.  The small Icon for your App is showing a bar at the bottom that has an open "fill bar" that is going to track the download and installation of the App.  But at this point you get an Error Message.  The Error Message Says, "?????"  Try again latter?  What?
    Just for fun, try downloading the App while you and your iPhone are as close to the Wi-Fi Router as possible.  Lets see if you are just experiencing a weak Wi-Fi signal.  This can cause App Downloads to fail.

  • I tried to download a Cisco webex application.  The app did not download and I also can't open the app.  The problem is that I can't get the webex screen to close, it is stuck open and I can't get back to the app home page!

    I tried to download a Cisco website application.   The app did not download and it is stuck on the window where it has the option of open.....it will not open.  The problem is that I cannot get the window off the screen and I can't get back to the App Store home page!   Help! Thanks

    Try this.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • My apps will not download to ipad2 this is something that has just recently happened.Have switched the pad on and off holding buttons down but it makes no difference.Has anyone got the solution to this problem Thank you.

    My apps will not download to iPad 2 This is something that has just recently happened. Have tried re-booting but that makes no difference .
    Has anyone got the answer to this problem please or do I need to take it into an Apple store Thanking you.

    If all of that stuff checks out - and iTunes is telling you that the apps have been downloaded to the iPad - try this.
    Connect your iPad to your computer and launch iTunes. Right click on your iPad name on the left side of iTunes under devices and select Transfer Purchases from the pop up menu. Then sync with iTunes again. Don't eject the iPad yet. If you still don't see the apps on the iPad - click on the Apps Tab in the iTunes window on the right and see if they show up on any of the iPad screens. If they do - make sure that all of the apps are selected (checked) to sync - (checkmarks in the boxes next to the app names) - check to make sure that the Sync Apps heading is checked and as well and then sync again. You may have to click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes if the apps were not selected to sync.

  • Photos on the facebook app are not downloading

    Photos on the facebook app are not downloading. After double tap, in the app, nothing happens. In Safari, often the message "access denied" pops up (also on ipad). Location services are set to on. Anyone else experiencing this?

    Depending upon what country that you are in you might be able to use automatic downloads : on the Store tab in Edit > Preferences (iTunes > Preferences on a Mac) tick the Music tickbox. That will only apply to future purchases.
    For music that has already been bought you might be able to redownload it on that computer via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage
    Or you can copy them from your other computer : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527

  • I have bought and ipad first generation and i would like to put my ebooks on how can I do this please the Ibook app will not download on this ipad

    I have bought a apple ipad 1st generation and I would like to put my ebooks on how would I do this the ibook app will not download on this ipad many thanks for any help offered

    Try downloading the current version of the iBooks app on your computer's iTunes so that the app is in your purchase history. Then on your iPad go to the Purchased tab in the App Store app and see if you can download an older compatible version of it.
    If the ebooks aren't ibooks, then unless they are digital-rights-management free epubs then you probably won't be able to add them to your computer's iTunes library (File > Add To Library) and sync them to your iPad - in they do have DRM on them then does the store that you got them from have their own app in your computer's iTunes ? If they then you could try the above and see if they have an iOS 5 compatible version available.
