Apps are black on ipad, won't delete, not installed on itunes

I just got a new ipad and attempted to sync it to the cloud using my previous itunes account.
Most of the sync when fine, however, about 20 apps are black and did not install. When I try to delete them, it shows the little x and asks me, "Deleting _____ will also delete all of its data". I select "delete" and nothing happens. The darkened app remains. I tried to sync to itunes on my computer next... When looking at the screen shots, my computer makes it look like the apps are fully installed, however, on the list to the left all of the dark apps show they are NOT installed. Therefore, I don't know how to delete them on the computer! Do I actually have to install them all just to then delete them?!
Also, when looking on my ipad usage, it does not show those dark apps to be installed.
Any help is appreciated!
Thanks,
Kristin

Thank you for taking the time to reply.

Can you help please?

Thanks King_Penguin for taking time to read and reply.
I just purchased this movie on Thursday, May 15, so just a few days ago. I have never had any trouble whatsoever since I have been in Vietnam. I have downloaded several movies and even music and they have all synced to my respected Apple products except for this purchase.
Sorry, I don't quite understand what you mean by studios and different versions. Could you please explain?
I checked my purchased list in my purchase history under my account and there are no hidden items.

It seems to be the spotify app in my trash that won't delete. i tried the advanced tip and it deleted everything else but the spotify app. any suggestions? the progress bar when emptying the trash never changes.

Not uncommon with spotify. If you have 'Trashit', that will almost certainly clear it. If not, download it from here. Download Trash It! for Mac - Force-empty your trash can. MacUpdate.com

Our icons and apps are black

Our icons and apps are black and do not open when clicked on. Any ideas?

Step one is to do a safe boot and see if the problem persists. Step two is to log into a newly created admin user account and see if the problem persists.

My calander and contacts are syncing on ipad and iphone but not my photos.

my calander and contacts are syncing on ipad and iphone but not my photos.

Make sure you are entering the contacts and calendar events on your iCloud account. On your iPad, check Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Calendar. Here make sure you have selected an iCloud calendar as your default, and not something else like On My iPad, Google Calendar, and exchange account calendar, etc.
Then go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Account (in the contacts section) and make sure you have selected iCloud as your default. (If you don't see this settings, this isn't the problem).
If your settings for your calendar is correct on your iPad and it still won't sync new calendar events to your phone, go to icloud.com from your computer and enter any missing calendar events on your iPad that are not on your calendar on icloud.com. Once your iCloud calendar is up to date, go to Settings>iCloud, turn Calendars to Off, choose Delete from My iPad when prompted, then after a minute or so turn Calendars back to On to sync your iCloud calendars back to your phone. Then enter a new event on your iPad and confirm that it syncs to icloud.com now.
If your settings for your contacts are correct on your iPad and it still won't sync new contacts to your phone, do the same thing for Contacts (add any missing contacts to icloud.com, turn iCloud syncing off, choose Delete from My iPhone, after a minute turn contact syncing back on, try adding a new contacts to confirm that it syncs).

TS1702 There are two apps in my update section that I did not install and I want them gone. 1 says it has mature content, what the heck is this?

there are two apps in my update section that I did not install and do not want. How do I get rid of them without?

Web browser apps display the same warning - and as Rkedge pointed out - any app that accesses web content may show that warning.
Atomic, Mercury, Google Chrome, iCab Mobile ... All web browsers and I think that they all display that same warning.

I have areas of my iPad screen that does not respond to touch. Is that normal? The area is random and not always the same location. How can I fix?

Have you tried rebooting it by holding the home and on button until the Apple logo appears?

I have been having the same issue for the last two weeks. No real indication as to why it ever began other than I had turned off my router and Airport Extreme Base Station off for a weekend while I was away from my place.
iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch, all have no issues at all with my Airport Extreme Base Station. Can stay connected throughout my living room, bathroom, bedroom, no issues whatsoever.
My 5 month old MacBook Pro 2.66 GHz Core i7 Airport is sometimes perfect, able to connect, DHCP, and browse without issue. Then, for no reason, I won't be able to join my wireless network, or when I can join, I can't pick up an IP address. And then it will connect, pick up and IP, and then it won't browse. No real rhyme or reason to when this will happen, or when it works.
I thought that it was an issue with my MacBook Pro, but then my sister visited with her brand new MacBook Pro 2.26 Intel Core 2 Duo, and while a month ago she was able to connect, DHCP, and browse without issue, this weekend she had all of the same issues I was having.
My XBOX 360 and MacBook Pro have absolutely no issues with the wired connection. Only my WAN seems to have this issue.
Did you ever find anything more to this?

You should probably start here and go through all of the troubleshooting steps and then report back if you are still having problems.

Want to get a free app but keep getting this response ' we could not complete your itune store request an unknown error occured (-9808)'?

I've done a search on here and haven't found any solutions posted for it for windows computers. You could try posting in the iTunes For Windows forum and see if you get any suggestions in there (are you able to download other items from the store e.g. a free app ?) - I use a Mac, the only things that I could think of to suggest trying is see if you get the same error on a different iTunes library :
creating and/or opening a different iTunes library : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1589
or using a different user account on your computer in case it's a problem with that user account.
But you may want to try the iTunes For Windows forum first, apart from anything else you are likely to get better help for the above

Many people (including me) are having the same problem at present. There are other threads in the message board with the same complaint.
There is nothing you can do about it except wait for Apple to fix the problem.

I was trying to update my garageband app and once the app fully downloads it says that it could not install and to check my internet connection. I restarted my internet, turned it off and on, restarted my computer, deleted the app and downloaded it again and the same thing happened every time. What should I do?

Do you have any firewalls or antivirus software active (e.g. Little Snitch), that could prevent the installer from contacting the Apple Servers? If yes, turn them off. Also, disable the Energy saver, to prevent the Mac from falling asleep and causing time outs.
Sometimes it will help, to run the installer in Safe Mode, see: Mac OS X: What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode?
