Apps won't start downloading

Hi, I just got a new iPad mini. I set it up using wifi from my iPhone, but I could not download my already-purchased apps or music from the store.
When I tap the install button, the app will try to load for a moment, then it kinda just stop - but the loading bar is gone. I have repeated this several times with different items, but the same thing happens. The problem is that it is not a stalled download; it would not even start.
I've tried signing out, resetting, and signing back in, but didn't work. Signing in on the AppStore page also did not work.
Any idea on how to fix this issue?
Haven't tried connecting to my Mac though, but that isn't really the issue.
Thanks in advance.

I have read that this is working for a lot of users. Maybe it is referenced in the threads that lllaass has posted.
Go to Settings>Safari>Clear History, Cookies and Cache. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

  • WinRT app won't start

    Hi,
    my name is Cristian and I'm working on a WinRT application used in a LOB scenario. The app was deployed to Windows 8.1 PRO machines which are not domain joined and which have valid sideloading keys loaded. After several updates to the app which all
    went well, after running the latest one,  on a certain machine, the update wasn't visible so I uninstalled the app and tried to install it from scratch. After doing this the app won't start anymore and in the event logs I found this "helpful"
    message:
    "Activation of the app -full_app_name_here- for the Windows.Launch contract was blocked with error 0x80073CFC because its package is in state: 17."
    Can anybody help in pointing me to where I should look to see what the problem might be?

    Hi,
    Did you use SQL?It seems the issue was related to  datebase permission.

  • 'Notes' App won't start.

    My iPhones Notes App won't start.
    It starts, then closes on its own.
    Tried restore from iTunes backup - but that didnt help.
    Any idea please.

    I've been fighting with Notes for a few hours
    On the side bar ~ On My Mac & all the other notes apps it is automatcally syncing to are listed or email accounts if that is the way it is set to sync in System prefs > Mail. ( the option I use as I only have 4GB a month and little WiFi.)
    Make sure you have the On My Mac note folder selected in the first of the three columns... typing or doing anything else in the other synced folders crashes Notes. Apple has a multitude of crash reports from me .. If you get the constant error page do not restart. Close and try again..
    If in a real mess Take the Mac Off Line so it stops trying to sync ~ copy the notes to textedit or similar then delete all notes and the system prefs mail option if used. Restart Mac and try again..
    Mine is now sorted  I wish you the same result

  • App Store won't start download the OS X Yosemite free upgrade

    I have a MacBook Pro 13-inch mid 2012. My current MacOS is OS X 10.6.8.
    I didn't get to upgrade to OS X 10.9 when there was the free upgrade because I forgot to download it.
    Now I want to download the OS X 10.10 but when I click the "Get" button or "Free Upgrade" button, the license agreement won't come out and the download won't start. It just stay the same even after I clicked the button.
    What should I do?

    I am having the same problem. I have a 15" MBP from mid-2010 running 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard).
    All updates have been applied.
    When I go to the App Store, locate Yosemite and click on "download", nothing happens.
    As an experiment, I tried installing other free apps from the App Store - I tried Kindle and
    Memory Clean. Same issue - I click on "Install" and nothing happens.
    Still digging - open to advice.
    Thanks

    I suspect that many developers are ending app support for older devices.  It's probably time for an upgrade.
    While that may be true... it's simply a mis-informed response at this time.
    The iPhone 4 and 3GS are both still fully supported, as is the 3G.
    If you have nothing useful to add, it is generally best to not comment.
    To the OP:
    Does the device have a functional Internet connection, either Cellular data or Wi-Fi?
    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

  • Apps won't start after iOS5 upgrade for ipad2

    Hi, after upgrading my ipad with the latest iOS. when you clck on any apps..it starts and then minimize..when you double click on the home buttom..you will see the apps there. Please advice.

    If it's happening on all the apps that you've downloaded from the App Store, but not the Apple built-in ones, then try downloading any free app from the store (as that appears to reset something) and then re-try them - the free app can then be deleted.
    Otherwise have you tried closing all apps completely and then seeing if they work when you re-open them ? From the home screen (i.e. not with any app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of each app to close them, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    If that doesn't work then you could try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • Apps won't start after latest update?

    Hello,
    I'm on an older 2006 iMac (the one without the black border) and I installed the latest update last night. Now I can't get Firefox, Safari, Mail or apps working properly. When I try to start an app it bounces up and down and then I can't remember what it says but it won't start. Any ideas how to fix this? I'm thinking of downloading Firefox and Safari on my sister's computer and then transferring them via my memory stick.
    I also tried a restart. Last night I just shut it down and walked away and figured I'd deal with it when I get home from work today.

    Hi, first I hope you have your important stuff backed up!!?
    I would & always do Repair Permissions Before & after Updates, so I would try the RP ..
    Then I would go the SMC route, specific for your model..
    If after that you still have "issues" You may need to go the Archive & Install route..

  • App won't start or crashes immediately. How to reload it?

    I have an app (Bento 1.1.5) that won't start on the iPad 1, current iOS (5.0.1). It used to be fine, but no more. It eaither goes into forever start-up mode; the "wheel" keeps turning and it never loads. Or it crashes immediately on start-up. After each problem time I've closed all apps and restarted the iPad. Still no luck. How do I delete Bento and reinstall it from my Mac? Or is there a way to re-download a fresh copy?
    I have an idea how to do this, but wanted to ask first rather than screw things up. Thank you for your help.

    Deleting Apps...
    Touch the app and hold your finger down until all the apps start to jiggle. You will see a circled "x" in the upper left corner. Tap it to delete an app. When done press the Home button.

  • Ipod Touch Apps Won't Finish Downloading

    I started to download a few game apps on my ipod touch, and it was going fine, but then the it stopped and the status said 'waiting', and didn't change for a while and then the rest changed to 'waiting' also, so i tried to download another app to see if it works, but this time its just stays 'loading', with the black bar still all black.i can connect to the internet with no problems, but the apps won't continue to download.
    i was wondering if anyone knows what happened and more importantly how to fix this. if you need any other information just tell me, and i will try to answer to the best of my ability.
    Ipod Touch 2.2.1

    try this....go to your settings and get to your wi fi - turn it off.....then wait a minute and turn it back on...try it then ...I waited 15mins on the phone for a support agent to tell me that. How frustrating! Hope it helps! but my problem is that is gave me internet access (which I was having problems with) and my app downloaded successfully, however, it wont pull up now. It just sits as a pretty icon and we cant use it! So what, now another 15minute wait to find out ***???

  • Software update, now apps won't start?

    I just updated the software in my girlfriend's Iphone 3gs, and now the downloaded apps wind up on a separate page, and they won't start up. Their title pages just flash onscreen, then discontinue. No error messages.

    It sounds ljke you interrupted an update that was failing. You said it was reinstalling upon reboot? Something's wrong there.
    Clone the external drive to the internal.
    Use Disk Utility to Restore your external to the internal or download and use CarbonCopyCloner.

  • ITunes App Won't Finish Downloading. Help please.

    I have been trying to download "The Bard's Tale" game app from iTunes for a couple days now. The app is 1.3gb in size. The download will start, but then it stops at 362.5mb and says "err -3259 The connection has timed out". I have the latest version of iTunes, the latest iPod update and a solid internet connection. I have also tried disabling my firewall completely with no success as well as disabling any antivirus software (which I don't really even have).
    Also, get this: I tried downloading the same app on a friends computer (using the same wifi internet connection) and it still stopped at 362.5mb. I have tried everything. Other apps will download just fine on iTunes but this app won't. And it can't be the size because the last thing I downloaded before this was a 777mb iPod software update. Any ideas at all? Thanks!

    Hi Do a Reboot Press & hold power button & menu button hold both down until you see Apple Logo you will not lose any data. Cheers Brian

  • OS X Mavericks won't start downloading for me

    I went to the App Store, clicked the download button and then the green free install button thingy and the icon for Mavericks went to my Launchpad. It says it is downloading but I've waited for an hour and it still hasn't responded at all. When i went back to my App Store and checked if it's in my purchased tab, it wasn't. I deleted Mavericks and started to download it again but the result is still the same. Does anybody have the same problem? Please help me. Thanks.

    If you do have an iMac, Late 2012, restart the iMac holding the Command+Option+R keys so you boot from the Apple internet servers, you must be on the internet to do that.  You can then choose Install Mac OS X and reinstall your operating system.  Then proceed to go to the Mac App Store and download and install Mavericks.
