Ipad apps not installing

My apps don't install instead the apps picture just comes up with lines and no name

Try this - Reset 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. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased.
Not sure if this applies:
If there are multiple apps trying to download at once, only one can download at a time and the rest say "Waiting" until it is then their turn. Try this. Double tap the icon of the Waiting app, and it should resume the download.

Another thing to try - Turn the iPad Off & then back ON.
If that doesn't work:
• Log out of your iTunes store account. Go to Settings > Store > Sign Out Then press the Home button.
• Then press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously and don't release them when it brings up the Turn Off screen; keep holding them until the Apple logo appears.
• After restart, the Waiting should be gone.

HT204266 iPad apps not installing...HELP!

Restored iPad (1st gen) (latest firmware 5.1.xx) hoping to increase speed. Worked fine but slow prior to restoration. Chose to manually re-install apps. After I click "install" (in app store), the icon appears on home screen with "waiting" underneath. Nothing happens. Connecting via wi-fi. Can connect to Internet and signed into iTunes store.
I have tried: rebooting ipad, deleting app and reinstalling, rebooted router.
Help! Want my apps back!

Check iTunes and see if you have a pending/stalled download e.g. Podcast, Books, Music, Movies or iTune U. Finish off the download and you should be able to download apps.

TS1702 What to do when you get "iTunes library app not installed on iPhone; app could not be found"

What to do when you get "iTunes library app not installed on iPhone; app could not be found". None of the Apple suggestions fix the problem. For example, with Animoto, one of the problem apps, I have removed it, reinstalled it, and still get the eoor message.

Of course.
First of all, this started when an external drive i was using died on me. I have no doubt that these apps indeed are off my system. I figure between the apps I've bought for myself and my kid, I have about 150 apps.
Now. The issue.
When I sync my iPad with iTunes on my desktop, it goes through normally until it gets to the apps. When that happens, it get an error box that reads "Some of the apps in your iTunes library were not installed on the iPad because one or more errors occurred. For a list of appps that could not be installed, click on the triangle below."
Then I get a list of apps.
(Added note to any iTunes developers out there: The titles of the apps in this list do not always match the titles of the apps in the App Store. For example, one was called "MuseumGame" on my iPad. It's called "Museum of Thieves" on the App Store. I started out with a list of 60 apps. It was a major pain to track them all down. It would be nice to have everything the same so I can use the App Store search more effectively.)
Anyway, moving on....
The error message stops my sync until I dismiss it. That, honestly, is what makes this whole thing annoying enough to seek out an answer. I can't let my iPad start syncing and walk out of the room. Yeah. I know. First World problems.
Once I dismiss the error, the sync continues and all is well.
I did the following to try to fix the problem. Mostly, I did a lot of searches:
My list of purchased apps on my iPad both using the search box and by going to every page
Searched the main App Store on my iPad using the search field. When that didn't work, I used wider searches and just scanned the page(s) for the little cloud icon that showed I had purchased the app.
I got on my desktop iTunes and searched the apps from there (without a lot of hope, but trying to be complete)
At that point, I came to the conclusion that a small number of the apps are no longer available on the App Store.
Fine. I didn't want them anyway.
I got into iTunes and went to the Apps page. None of the errant apps showed up there. I searched the iTunes help files. Nothing. I crossed my fingers, said a little prayer to the search engine gods, and tried Google. I found some things that sort of matched but they basically boiled down to "re-download the app from the App Store" or "Restore your iPad".
So I spent a couple of hours restoring my iPad. I got the error message again. I hit Google again and came up with this thread. It was as close to my problem as I found.
I think that brings us up to date.
My fundamental problem is that I seem to have found a scenario where if you have to restore apps (because, perhaps, your external drive died) and some of the apps are no longer available for download, there is an error generated that can not be permanently dismissed.
Did I miss anything important?

I purchased OS X Lion on my laptop and if I use the same username on my desktop it should just download not make me pay again, yet it is still saying "BUY APP" not "INSTALL." What do I do?

How to re download apps from the Mac App Store:
Open the App Store. From the menu bar click Store > Sign In

Select which apps you want to re download. Then right or control click where you see Installed then click Install.
Make sure and use the same Apple ID used for the original purchase.

First, for the forum view issue. Go to My Settings (on the right) and in General Settings change the Topic Page View to Flat. Click Save. Posts should show up in the order they were written.
Have you seen this?

Also, since you said that you've gone through the 5 Rs, I would assume that you used the iPod Updater to restore (since there is no other way of doing it and you don't "run" the 5 Rs).
When you restored, did you use the latest updater?
You may also want to try formatting the iPod through Windows. Connect it to the computer and when it appears in My Computer right click it and go to format. Does anything happen? Can you format the iPod through Windows?

Ipad showing updates for apps not installed....fix?

i have about 30 apps showing that an update is needed for them. Problem is, about 10 of those updates are for apps not on my iPad anymore. I deleted them days/weeks/months ago. any ideas?
ipad1 running 5.1.1

I've seen other discussions about this and from what I can remember .... Try deleting the Apps in your iTunes library on your computer to remove all traces of the apps - sync your iPad - and then see if the updates go away for the deleted apps.

How do you keep other iPad Apps from Installing on a second iPad?

We have two iPads in our home all synched to a single iMac.
So what is happening, is that any app that I install in my iPad automatically gets installed on my wife's iPad the next time she syncs, even thought that app is not lilsted on her APPS window! The reverse is true also. So we are constantly spending time deleting apps off our respective ipads, only to see them come right back next time we sync.
Please!!! How do you stop this from happening (yes I do have the auto sync new apps unchecked_.

In iTunes, click the iPad in the Devices list.
Click the Apps tab.
Un-check the Automatically sync new apps box and click Apply.

App not installed because it could not be found

Last week during the flurry of updates before iOS 7 was released, one of the updates I received was not installed because the minimum iOS was now 7 and my iPhone has 6.1.4. When I found out the problem, I went to ~/Music/iTunes/iTunes Music/Mobile Applications and removed the incompatible app and replaced it with the one that had been moved to the trash. I then deleted the incompatible app from my iMac. Now however, everytime I sync, I get the message that the app wasn't installed because it couldn't be found, even though the correct compatible app is in the folder wher it belongs AND is installed on both my iPhone and iPad. Any way to get iTunes to stop trying to install a non-existent app?

Hello there, Romad.
The following Knowledge Base article has information on how to download previously purchased content. You'll be best served by deleting the app in question and following the instructions that follow:
Downloading past purchases from the iTunes Store, App Store, and iBooks Store

Apple Configurator - Apps not installing (showing they are installed)

I have 10 VPP codes that I am trying to put on iPads. I select the paid app, which shows 10 in the licenses box. I apply that to the iPads and they all finish. The license number goes to 9, with the app only installing on 1 of the iPads. When you check the apps installed on the other iPads, the paid app in checked in Apple Configurator, but it is not on the iPad. Any ideas.
These are iPad 2's running iOS 7.

Try to update your apps-most apps need to be updated to work with iOS 5.
We had the same issue and it resolved with updating all apps.
