"unknown error" while downloading app on iPad

When trying to download iBooks on my new iPad I get an "unknown error message. Can anyone help? Thanks

If you looked around, you'd see several threads on this.
This is a problem being experience by several people, so the issue has to be on Apple's end.  If you want to download iBooks now, connect your iPad to your computer, and download it from iTunes, then sync it to your iPad.

    Hey Prahaladvatsan,
    Thanks for the question. If I understand correctly, there is a blank app icon on the home screen. It looks like you have already done some troubleshooting. I would recommend that you read these articles, they may be helpful in troubleshooting your issue.

  • Error while downloading app

    Hi
    I am getting error while downloading app,it's shows me waiting and not downloading app, this happend only when I update the app and not for all apps ,right now I stuck with 5-6 apps like that.
    I even can't delete that apps too.
    Please anyone know the solution, advise me

    If there are multiple apps trying to download at once, only one can download at a time and the rest say "Waiting" until it is then their turn. Try this. Double tap the icon of the Waiting app, and it should resume the download.

    Another thing to try - Turn the iPad Off & then back ON.
    If that doesn't work:
    •  Log out of your iTunes store account.  Go to Settings > Store > Sign Out Then press the Home button.
    • Then press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously and don't release them when it brings up the Turn Off screen; keep holding them until the Apple logo appears.
    • After restart, the Waiting should be gone.

    Same deal for me. I found an answer at ipadforums.com that fixed it for me. Go to settings, click on store, click on your user Id, sign out, and then sign back in. Hopefully it works for you too.

  • Error 1004- downloading App for iPad

    I have an iPad and I'm trying to download an app but I keep getting Error 1004.
    What does this mean?  and how can I fix it?
    Thanks for any help!

    As near as i can tell, this is an error from the app store because something is not matching what it is expecting.  I think it covers a number of different issues, and you never really know which one youmhave.  The link below contains several suggestions you can try.  Good luck, and post back.

  • Unknown error when downloading apps

    Hi
    I have this problem on both my Mac and my iPhone. When I first got my Mac and my iPhone, I used my family member'ss Apple ID, and downloaded a lot of apps. Afterwards, I created my own Apple ID.
    I'm facing this problem now where everytime I update (free) apps, it would ask me for my old apple ID information, which I don't have anymore.
    The only option I see is to delete the whole app and re-download it again on my ID. It worked for 90% of my apss. However, there are some apps that still show up on the updates page of App Store, after I deleted it. And when I try to download it, it would ask for the password of my old apple ID (where I originally download with). I change the email and password when I was prompt, and it gives me "unknown error" "We Could Not Complete Your Request, There was an error in the App Store, Please try again later(4).
    I was wondering if anyone can help me out.
    Thanks.

    Have you checked your programs and features list to see if it has already installed? I had exactly the same problem using windows 7 x64. It wasn't working and so I tried installing again and got your error. The chances are it's already installed but you're running the 64-bit version of Internet Explorer (or another 64-bit web browser) and the Appworld plugin is only 32-bit, so it wont run inside the 64-bit browser. If you run a 32-bit web browser and go back to Appworld, it should recognise the plugin is installed just fine.

    Try sending it to store anyway… I have the similar issue, the kit hangs when saving result and never complete it.
    Another member has same question.

    If you want to test your app, you can also send to beta store and you can get response from the testers.

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

    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

    If you are getting a network timeout error then try temporarily turning off all your firewall and antivirus software until the download has completed.

    Hello, rkkumundan. Are you still having the same issue? If yes, let's troubleshoot the issue by doing the hardware reboot. Your documents will not be deleted. To do this, press and hold both the volume down and the power keys for 10-15 seconds. Once done, try downloading the apps again. If that doesn't help, may we know if it happens only when downloading a particular app?
    We'll wait for your reply. 

  • Error while downloading. message on E71 GPS USA Ma...

    “Error while downloading” message on E71 with updated GPS USA Maps
    I’m sure I’m not the only one having this problem but I recently updated my maps on my Straight Talk Nokia E71. The phone says I have map download V 3.03 10wk bo4 Mw Open GL LM MN, Map version 0.1.25.114.and I’m using Nokia Ovi Suite 2.2.1.23. After I installed V3.03, I installed it and download the 1.46GB USA map file and the three turn by turn files. But when I first started the GPS app I started getting the following error “Error while downloading”(This is on phone only)
    I have tried to factory reset the phone, re-format the 8GB memory card, remove City data and GF files and even unloaded OVI Suite and reload it. But every time I select GPS app and start to find places or my position, I get "Error while downloading" message. I’m new to this phone and didn’t get a respectable book from Straight Talk. So I don’t know much about this phone or Nokia OS. What is this error and how do I fix it. Also when I try to sync from the phone I get the response "system error". Ovi suite on the PC says I have downloaded all the USA maps and English voice  with street names. Please help I’m at a lost.
    Computer specs
    I am running Win-Vista, with a Broadband connection. 3 GB Ram, 2 gig Pentium dual core.
    Tran’s flash card has plenty room left on card over 5 gigs left.
    If I need to delete a file on the phone please tell me the exact file name because I’m not sure which one to remove from the apps folder.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    @Action_Jackson
    Welcome to the forum!
    Whilst easy for me to say as keep very little data on device, I would suggest backup essential data then delete E:\cities + ,qf file followed by resetting device to "Out of box" state by keying in #7370# then 12345 (default Nokia lock code unless altered by yourself). At this point you would need to open OVI Maps application on device to re-initialise application and re-define necessary folder structure on memory card for device to be recognised by OVI Suite > Maps to re-download your regional mapping.
