HELP! I cant download apps?

Okay so i have an ipad mini and ive had it for since spring 2013 so nearly a year. But today for some odd reason
I was unable to update an app. So i deleted the app and then went to get it again but it just says 'failed to download *app name*
Please try again later. Somebody said to reset my ipad but wont that delete all my apps and other history stored?
Please help :(

No...resetting will not effect any of your data.
Reset: Hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons and don’t let go until the screen goes dark and the Apple logo appears (no data will be lost)

    Go to iTunea>Preferences>Devices and see if there is a backupright at the time you did the update. Then try restoring from that backup. If the apps are in your iTunes library, any app data will be restored to the iPod.
    When restoring from an iOS 4 (or later) backup, if the device had a passcode set, iTunes will ask if you want to set a passcode (and remind you that you had protected your device with a passcode). iTunes will not ask you to set a passcode when restoring from iOS 3.x and prior backups.
    Therefore, remembe the passcode that you enter this time.
    It appears that if you restore from a backup, that backup is not subseqyently overwritten by the next backup.

    Definitely sounds like an issue with your Wi-Fi network. Do any other devices on the network have similar issues? Is it an issue only with downloading apps? You can check by trying to load a website in Safari.
    I would try turning your Wi-Fi router off for 1 minute, and back on again.
    After doing that, disconnect and re-join the Wi-Fi network on your iPhone and try downloading an app again.

  • I cant download apps without being on wifi, how can i make this not happen?

    i have the droid ultra  cant download apps without being on wifi, help?

    Disable Data Saver.Find the Data Saver (Settings -> Battery & Data Saver) and uncheck "Enable Data Saver". Then return to the Market and restart your downloads.
    The above is to download from the APPS store. Not using WiFi.
    I found this in a web article.
    Good Luck

  • I cant download apps on my ipod

    please help! i cant download apps on my ipod! once ive pressed install, it just goes to the grey loading app icon and it stays like that until i switch my ipod off. i dropped my ipod about 3 monthes ago and a bit of the corner chipped out so im not sure if its to do with that or not.
    please help as this is very annoying and i cant download ANYTHING.

    - What model iPod and iOS? Presently there an Apple problem that prevent 1G iPod and 2G iPod with iOS 3.1.3 from downloading apps on the iPod.
    - If that is not the problem try the following:
    - Rest. Nothing is lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory defaults/new iPod.

  • I cant download apps from my iPad 2 only my laptop

    I cant download apps on my iPad 2 it started after the ios 5.1 update I think it was and I tried downloading an app but it wont let me it was free too. I tried lots of times with different apps but still wont work. And now I cant update because one of the apps is stuck on installing and its still there wether I turn my iPad off, turn wi-fi off its always there! And I even tried locking it ! Still there, I tried backing up and it wont back up. Everything else is perfect except for downloading things.
    Please Help!

    Try double taping the stuck app, it should stop the download, then restart. You can also try going to the App Store, searching for the App, and try installing from there if it let's you. Can you hold the icon and make it jiggle to delete it?

    What do you mean 'cant download app' ? What happens when you try to download an app, if you are getting an error message then what does it say ?

  • Cant download apps on appstore iOS 7

    When i want to download apps... I dont work
    I cant download apps -.- please every body help
    Sorry my english bad
    It just keep rolling a circle and then it stops and disappear

    ALL MY PROBLEMS ARE GONE on my upgraded IPAD 2 running on ios 7 which included “no access to ITunes to update Apps” and “slow web or no connectivity”
    All because of changes to DNS Settings Change  !!!! as described below and after trying all solutions given by others       - try and let me also know on my mobile  +263 772 242 560   (Zimbabwe – Colas Ziki)
    This fix has been recommended by Apple support and has proven successful for many commenters on my previous post. The way this works is to change DNS settings on your iPad or whichever iOS device is affected – by adding Google’s DNS server/s.  Here’s how to do this:
    – Go to the Settings app and tap on the Wi-Fi section in the left sidebar
    – Then look at the ‘Choose a Network’ section in the main right-hand side area of the page and look for the network name that has a check mark next to it and rendered in blue text – the WiFi network you are currently using
    – Tap on the blue arrow at the right-hand side of the listing for that network.
    – On the next screen you’ll see a section labeled ‘IP Address’ with three large buttons below it. Make sure the DHCP button is selected. Below that you’ll see fields for IP Address, Subnet Mask, and others. Tap on the DNS field (the fourth one down).
    – This will bring up the iPad’s on-screen keyboard and place the cursor at the end of the IP address for the DNS server currently being used by the iPad. Backspace until all the numbers for that address are gone. Then type this in:
    8.8.8.8
    Please note the periods after the first three 8s. You can also use 8.8.4.4 – both are valid addresses for Google’s DNS servers.

  • Cant download apps for ipod touch

    I cant download apps to my ipod touch." Authorization failed. Please connect to itunes " always pop out. Pls help.

    it's up to the app creators whether they are going to continue to create updates that are backwards compatible - if they choose to make newer updates so they will only work with current software then you are pretty much stuck.
    btw. a few questions on here are different. if your questions aren't EXACTLY the same as an original post, it's better that you start a new thread, it's much easier for us to reply and easier for people to find their responses.

  • I go settings then store to sign in but I can't sign because it says my apple id has not yet been used before the iTunes store? That's why I cant download apps?

    I go settings then store to sign in but I can't sign because it says my apple id has not yet been used before the iTunes store? That's why I cant download apps?

    That means you have to sign into/view your account and review you account and make sure you have a valid payment method specified in your account.

  • I deactivated my credit card and now i cant download apps?

    Awhile ago, I got rid of my credit card because it had been "hacked"(someone was using it). I deactivated it as soon as i could. Now, my Apple ID cant download apps without a credit card. I havent gotten a new card because im afraid that it may happen again. Ive tried to remove my billing information on iTunes, but it wont let me? I know i could make another Apple ID, but i have lots of songs and paid apps on that account that i still want. How can i fix this?

    Fix the billing information on the account.  Until that is done there is nothing that can be done.
    It should be possible to set the billing information to "None" on the Apple ID.
    Keep in mind, content acquired from the iTunes store is permanently tied to the Apple ID it was acquired with.
