Can't download from iTunes on iPad mini

Does anyone know why I can't download anything from iTunes on my wife's iPad mini? Works perfectly fine with App Store downloads, and her iPhone 4 is downloading fine. I have done a complete restore of the iPad mini, and she only uses one apple ID, but still no luck!

If you restored your iPad as new, and it still didn't help, I don't know if anything in here will help. in any event, I have posted this boilerplate of suggestions many times in the past and the suggestions in here have worked for others at one time or another. Feel free to give them a try.
1. Tap the "waiting" icon and see if you can pause it. If it does pause, then tap it again and see if it will resume. If that works, repeat the same steps for each "waiting" icon.
2. Reboot 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 - let go of the buttons.
3. Make sure that you do not have a stalled download in iTunes - if you have a download in there that did not finish, complete that one first. If you see a downloads tab in the lower right corner, then there is a download in iTunes.
4. If that doesn't work - sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
Settings>iTunes & App Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. 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.
Go back to Settings>iTunes & App Store>Sign in and then try to update again. Tap one waiting icon only if necessary to start the download stream.
5. You can also try deleting the waiting icons - tap and hold down on an icon until it wiggles - the tap the X on the icon to delete it. Then try to download again. Apps may also be able to be deleted in Settings>General>Usage>Storage if you cannot get the X to pop up on the icon.
6. You can try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered.
7. Reset your router. Unplug it from power for about 30 seconds and then plug it back in again.

Very Slow Downloading from iTunes on iPad Mini

Hello:
Having just spent almost £550 on a wifi & cellular 64 gb iPad mini, I thought I was getting something that was state of the art !
However, I discover that the very first movie I pay for and want to download using my wifi connection from iTunes simply will not download on to my iPad mini in anything that one would expect to be a reasonable time. As I write it is Sunday evening and the iTunes download indicator is telling me it will be over 36 hours until I finish downloading this 3 gb movie !
Using the same wifi connection and within a few minutes after giving up with the iPad mini I am able to download the exact same movie on to my MacBook Air in under 30 minutes.
So, I conclude this has nothing to do with the my wifi download speed or anthing else, other than the fact that the iPad mini connection simply does not work at anything approximating to an acceptable standard.
The reason I have purchased the 64 gb iPad mini is so that I can download movies and watch them when travelling. It looks like this is not going to be possible if it is going to take hours and hours to download each movie !
So, other than some kind of self-administered help (which I would be happy to hear about if anybody has solved this problem for themselves), and after having spent a great deal of money on an item which is advertised as being iTunes compatible and being sold as something to watch tv and movies on, I wonder if Apple has yet twigged this glaring inadequacy and are thinking of doing something about it ?
After all, I have spent a lot of money on something that is not doing what I had expected it to do and which it is advertised as being able to do.
Please help me out, Apple, or I might have to return this to you and ask for my money back. Or go to Trading Standards about misleading advertising ? I mean it is wifi, it has iTunes, it has Videos - but I can't really use them in any acceptable way. Why would I spend all that money for something that doesn't do what it says on the can ?
Thanks.
Chris

Can't download from iTunes on iPad

Hello people of the world. I have a problem that has been happening for a while. Whenever I try to download a TV show or movie to my iPad my iPad downloads around a quarter and the freezes followed by my iPad crashing. I have tried holding home and lock button at the same time to restart but the problem still persists! Could someone please help me I really want to enjoy media on my iPad! Thanks

Hi Sign out of itunes then Sign back in. This may help. Cheers Brian

I purchased pages for my imac can i download this for i ipad mini free of charge?

I purchased pages for my Imac can i download this for my ipad mini free of charge?

Correct. To do it, your Mac must be running Mountain Lion and Pages '09 with the most recent version. To check the OS X version you have, open  > About this Mac, and check the version. If it's 10.8, you are running Mountain Lion. Then, you just have to open System Preferences > iCloud, and tick "Documents and Data".
If you aren't running Mountain Lion, you can still share documents between the iPad and the Mac, you can access to the documents created in the iPad in http://www.icloud.com, logging in with your Apple ID, and selecting iWork. Also, you can upload documents from the computer

can i download facetime on my ipad mini i bought it on UAE but im using my ipad in Philippines

As per an agreement between Apple and the govt of the UAE, devices sold in that country don't and can't ever have Facetime on them.
If you want that program, you have to purchase an iPad outside of the countries that prohibit it.

Can music downloaded from iTunes be added to a slide show in Elements 12?

Can music downloaded from iTunes be added to a slide show in Elements 12? I can't get it to load into Photoshop Elements. When I finally get to the file it kind of just disappears. Do I have to get the song from someplace else?

Barbara, I don't know how to get to the artwork to remove it. I saw a post on this forum on how to show hidden files and went to the control panel and followed the instructions. I still can't see any hidden files or artwork. Hope you can tell me where I am going wrong.

Can't see movie downloaded from iTunes on iPads

Hi. I purchased two movies from iTunes via AppleTV, then downloaded them to my iTunes library. I can see and play them on my computer, but they don't show up in the "shared" tab of the Videos app on either of our two iPads. I've tried force-quitting and restarting the Videos app, turning the iPad on and off, and resetting the iPad; I've quit and restarted iTunes on the computer. Nothing has helped.
All the other movies in the library appear, including others I've purchased and downloaded from iTunes, but not the ones I downloaded today.
Running OS X 10.8.1, iTunes 10.6.3, and iOS 5.1.1.
Help?
Thans.

Ah. iPad 2 can't play 1080p content. Got it. Sorry for the noise.

Can't download music from iTunes to iPad mini

Hi,
I recently bought an iPad mini and I'm having trouble downloading content from iTunes - both new music/films & from purchase history - but I can download apps just fine. It comes up with the following error "unable to download xxx at the moment. Please try again later." I can however download content onto all my other iDevices.
Is there anyway of fixing this problem other than resetting the iPad? Been playing games on the iPad & will lose the progress in the reset process.
Thanks!

If you are using iTunes 11 go to View>Show Sidebar from the menu at the top of the screen so that you can see the iPad under the devices heading.
Connect the iPad to the PC and launch iTunes.
Click on the iPad name on the left side under devices.
Click on the Music Tab on the right.
Click on all of the albums or playlists that you want to sync - or the entire library if you like.
Click on the Sync Music Heading.
Click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes
This will probably be helpful if you are using iTunes 11.

Can't transfer app from iTunes to ipad Mini without updates transferring as well

I like to download the occasional app to iTunes then transfer it later to my iPad Mini.
However I find that later when I try just to transfer that app to my ipad, iTunes insists on transferring updates of other apps as well ?
Is there a way to stop this ?

I don't want to download again as I have a download limit and some of these apps are very large and take a big chunk out of that limit.
This is why I download to iTunes on my pc so I can then transfer to other devices without affecting my limit.
It also makes a convenient local backup.

My iPad keeps refusing to connect to my pc network. can't download from iTunes store.

mi iPad keeps refusing to connect to my pc/wifi network. can't download anything from iTunes, even just using it on my iPad. even if I plug my iPad into my pc. anyone know how to fix this? please help! thanks!

How about some details on your network?
What make/model router are you using?
Does your router have the latest firmware from the manufacturer?
What security type (WEP, WPA, WPA2) are you using?
What happens when you try to connect?
Does your iPad work on other networks, i.e., Borders, Starbucks, etc.?
As a stopgap it is possible to download iTunes store content from the iTunes program on your PC and sync that to your iPad (music, apps, videos, etc).

Can't copy borrowed movie from iTunes to iPad mini, because it's said that it is almost copied to another device, which is not true. Any solution?

I just borrowed a movie on iTunes a few days ago. Now I would like to copy that to my iPad mini, via iTunes. After a minute copying, it stops and it's said, that the movie could not be copied, because it is almost copied to another computer or device.
Can anybody help me with the problem?
Thanks!

For borrowed do you mean rented? The exact error message helps others to help you.
Rented movies can only be on one device or computer at a time, expire if not watched within 30 days and once you begin watching expire within 24 hours (US) or 48 hours elsewhere. See HT1657 - iTunes Store: Movie rental frequently asked questions (FAQ). If there has been a problem transferring the content then you might want to use the report a problem links in your account history to contact the iTunes Store support team.

Can't sync apps from itunes to ipad mini

i have purchased an app from appstore through iTunes on my computer but each time i try to sync it to my ipad mini
it gets interrupted with the message "authorize this computer" although i have done that already

iTunes is a mess. On the sidebar on the left there is a "On My Device" section. It shows everything *except* the apps. Above that there is a "settings" section. That's where the apps are. That's a "setting"?
The device handling needs a complete overhaul. There are many many people who have had an iPad or iPhone for some time, but do not own a Mac. Based on climbing Mac sales, clearly some of those people are deciding "I like this iPhone so much I'm going to get a Mac!" So they get one and run into this train wreck.
Even now, with the iPad selected, I go to the View menu, select View Options..., and.....nothing. No window, no dialog, no indication of anything. Turns out that menu item is not applicable when a device is selected. Even with the original 128k Mac (my first Mac) they had this sorted out - dim the menu item when it's not applicable. Here we are 30 years later and they get it wrong.

How is it possible to cancel (not suspend) a video download from iTunes Store (iPad under iOs 6)? (I do not have sufficient storage space on my iPad)

Hi,
I am facing the following difficulty with my iPad (model MD369NF/A) under iOs 6.1.3.
I have bought 2 videos on iTunes Store, but I do not succeed in downloading them: an error message mentions that iPas does not have enough storage capacity.
As a matter of face, when I look at the way the storage is used, I find “Others” for around 10 Go (is there some king of reserved space for the downloading of videos from iTunes Store?), and only a very small number of Mo available.
I would simply like to cancel the downloading of the 2 videos, and hope that it would free the "Others" storage space (in the hypothesis that "Others" is space reserved for videos once downloaded), but I do not manage to do it. I can suspend the downloading, but I do not see how to cancel it.
Would you have a solution to propose ?
Thanks in advance for your help,
Nicolas

Hey Nicolas36,
Thanks for the question, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
The following article outlines issues with free space, capacity, and a large amount of "other" space. You'll want to connect your iPad to your computer with iTunes to follow the steps:
iOS: 'Not enough free space' alert when trying to sync
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1503
One symptom of this issue will be displayed in iTunes where the Capacity indicator for the iOS device will report a large amount of "Other" disk usage for the device. To resolve this issue:
- Turn off the music or photo sync option in iTunes for the device.
- Click Apply to sync the changes to the device.
- Turn the music and photo sync options for the device on again.
- Click Apply again to try to sync the device to iTunes.
Thanks,
Matt M.
