Downloaded App and It Won't Go Away to Buy Something Else

I downloaded an app from the App Store but now when I go back to the App Store the app window won't go away so that I can search and download something else.

If you can't tap on the store's background to go back to the main part of the store then have you tried closing the App Store app via the multitasking bar and seeing if it works when you re-open it ? Double-click the home button to open the taskbar, and then swipe or drag the App Store app's screen from there up and off the top of the screen to close it, and click the home button to close the taskbar.
If that doesn't fix it then you could try a soft-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.

  • TS1702 I downloaded the iPhoto app and it won't work

    I downloaded the iPhoto app and it won't work. I keeps saying quit unexpectedly.

    OK, then I'd suggest you ask for assistance in the iPhoto forum:

    This isn't an iTunes Store issue, so this isn't the forum where you'll be most likey to get help.

  • Gave My IPad to family mem. reset it and reregistered it to their name. Downloaded apps, that now won't open. What's the prob?

    Gave my iPad 2 to a family mem. Reset it and reregistered it in their name. Downloaded apps and now they won't open? Wow , what went wrong?

    A reset may help. Tap and hold the Home button and the On/Off buttons for approximately 10-15 seconds, until the Apple logo reappears. When the logo appears, release both buttons.
    No content is affected by this procedure.

  • TS2446 So I have an iphone and for some reason I don't know the password for my Apple ID so I can't download apps and I don't have the password to my email to change it and I don't know the secret questions , what can I do to make a new Apple ID ?

    So I have an iphone and for some reason I don't know the password for my Apple ID so I can't download apps and I don't have the password to my email to change it and I don't know the secret questions , what can I do to make a new Apple ID ?

    I have the same problem - it is maddening. I rely on this iPad for work so this is not just an annoyance! The above solutions of changing the appleid on the device or on the website do not work.
    The old email address no longer exists - I haven't used it in a year probably and I no longer have the account.  I logged into the appleid website and there is no trace of the old email address so there is nothing that can be deleted or changed there.  On the iPad there is no trace of the old email address so nothing can be deleted there either. I have updated the iPad software and the same problem comes right back.  Every 2 seconds I am asked to log in using the old non-existent email.  The device is currently useless.
    The only recent change to anything was the addition of an Apple TV device, which was set up using the correct login and password.
    Does anyone have any ideas? The iPad has been backed up to the iCloud so presumably it now won't recognize the current iCloud account? So restoring may notbe an option?

    I have turned off, removed apps, tried to reinstall them. iTunes can't download them either, the updates for them won't work.
    Never had problems with iPhones until now and this has really annoyed me... Apps have cost me money have had to go because they won't function
    the error messages say that data cannot be downloaded at this time and it is ot because I do not have free space because I have removed items to make sure there is room!

    Yes, I know. Which is why I won't argue over it.   As I said I've never had an issue with it when travelling.
    And Apparently the purchase is working fine for the OP, its the actual download that gets hung up.
    Anyway, If the Purchase is going fine, then its more likely an issue with the internet connection.
    Are you on Cell service when trying to download rather than Wifi?
