IPad is taking DAYS to download apps

iPad taking days (plural--DAYS!) to download apps, though storage is nowhere near full and the apps are simple free games for the kids.  Never had any issues with updates or downloads before, and can't find any info about this.  Help! 

1. Check if there is any stalled download in iTune e.g. Podcast, Music or Movies
2. Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
3. Make sure you are connected to the internet

  • TS2446 I just got my Ipad and I can not download apps.  I get a message saying my Apple ID has been disabled.  I have reset my password, I can access itunes and icloud but still can not download apps.  Can someone please tell me how to get my ID activated

    Depending on why it's been disabled you might be able to re-enable it via this page : http://appleid.apple.com, then 'reset your password'
    Or you might need to contact Apple : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page
    If it then works on your computer's iTunes but not your phone/iPad then try logging out of your account on the phone/iPad by tapping on your id in Settings > Store (Settings > iTunes & App Stores on iOS 6) and then log back in and see if that 'refreshes' the account on it

  • Donnot erase your iPad air 2 when cannot download app from App store

    Hey, I got a 64gb new iPad air 2 last week. while I was downloading apps from App Store, it suddenly could not tell apps. The downloading one became white. And then did't work. After that I had very slow speed connecting App Store, and could  hardly download anything. And wifi also became very very slow. My iphone 6 and iPad 2 didn't have this happen, so I figured out it was something wrong with my new iPad Air 2. I've searched many blogs and tried everything, including resetting network, switching on and off wifi, powering on and off the new iPad air 2, nothing getting better. Finally, I had no choice but erasing EVERYTHING on it, after trying all possible solutions over a night, it still didn't work! there must be something wrong with the wifi chip in it. It's really frustrating!
    SO, I'd like to say to you if you have the same problem like this, do NOT erase everything, or you'll lose everything without solving the problem! I'd also say a few words to Apple company: I bought my ipad 2 the day it was issued by your company, it works so well in the past years, never crushed down or frustrated me like this. But I got the iPad air 2 for only a week, I have been struggling on solving app downloading and wifi issues for hours! What's the problem with you company? this would never happen with Steve! Earning money doesn't mean you can lower your quality!
    I'll go to Apple Store in Chicago to do the exchange or return, because I thouht it was really enough. I'll come back here to tell u the result.

    Hi ...
    How to re download apps from the Mac App Store:
    Open the App Store. From the menu bar click Store > Sign In
    Click Purchases from the top of the App Store window.
    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.
    If you have anti virus software installed, disable that to allow downloads.

  • My ipad don't want to download apps

    it goes out of the apps store to the main screen and and then the app just sits there and on it it says "waiting"

  • HT201089 I am setting up an Ipad for my child and downloading apps with Ask to Buy turned on.  As the parent, I am not receiving notices/requests on my device

    I have an ipad mini 2 with ios 8 and and iphone 5s with ios8
    I am setting up the ipad for my child and the Ask to Buy feature is on in family sharing.
    I am trying to download apps from the app store and it pops up the notification that I need to Ask to Buy and the request is being sent.
    The request should be coming to my "parent" device, which happens to be my iphone correct ?   I'm not seeing any sort of requests.
    According to the posts I've read a request is only sent once.

    Apps downloaded on one should also appear on the other as long as the app in question runs on both iPads and iPhones.

  • HT201304 New iPad won't allow me download apps

    New iPad won't allow me to download apps or go to iTunes store. How can I correct this?

    usually when you get that message "you account have never been used in itunes store" you just need to review your information and update what they want to have on your file and once you do that you can use account.

  • How can i set up my ipad to be able to download apps that i purchase on any of my computers

    I have a MacBook Pro and a tower at home. I want to be able to purchase/download apps on either device and then upload them to my iPad. When I try to download to my MacBook Pro I get a message saying that all apps/databases will be removed and replaced by the ones currently on the MacBook Pro. How can I sync them all?
    Thanks.

    There is Settings > General > Restrictions > Require Password which you can set to '15 minutes' - the only other option for the setting is 'Immediately', you won't be able to have it as 2 or 3 minutes.

  • I bought a used iPad,and I can't download apps due to old owners apple Id.how do I remove old so mine is primary?

    I bought used iPad 2.i cannot download
    Apps from store because old owners apple I. D is still there. How do I remove and replace with mine?

    You can log out of the currently logged in account by tapping on the id in Settings > iTunes & App Stores (Settings > Stores if it's not on iOS 6). You can then remove all of the previous owner's content via Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content And Settings - their content will be tied to their id, so only their id will be able to download updates to those apps.
    You can then log in to your account via Settings > iTunes & App Stores

  • On my iPad when I try to download apps, I am asked to login again and when I do the following happens. I am to verify my payment info, and then it tells me my session has timed out. Please help me.

    I need help with my apps. I try to download apps and I am told to login again. After login then I am to verify my payment info again. Once I do that it tells me my session has timed out.

    Could the credit card be expired?
    Beyond that, what you need to do is contact iTunes support, they can tell you exactly what is wrong, none of us here can do that.
    In the lower right corner of this page is a 'contact us' link. Click on that and you'll see a page full of info and links, one of which is iTunes support.

  • My iPad is taking forever to download anything since I got the new iOS7. How do I fix this?

    It's taking at least an hour to download any app or tv episode. It never used to take this long until it recently updated my iPad. I'm using the exact same internet connection I did before. What can I do to speed up my downloads? I'm getting very frustrated. This is on my IPad2

    Has the unit EVER been jailbroke?  Has it EVER been dropped?  Did it EVER get excessively wet?  Did you EVER load a pirated developer's version of the IOS?
    If "No" to all the above, first try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore and you have IOS-6 or lower, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.  Also, if you have IOS-7, read this.

  • Ipad will not open any downloaded apps

    My ipad will not open any apps that I downloaded. How do I fix this?

    If they are crashing - try downloading another app - any free app is fine.
    If they will not open at all when you tap on the icons - try restarting or resetting 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.
    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.

  • IPad air. Unable to download apps or update apps from app store.

    Unable to download updates or new apps from app store. That circle goes round and round, but nothing happens.

    Close the App Store app, reset your iPad and then try agin.
    In order to close apps in iOS 7, you have to drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
    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 if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • IPad mini 3 won't download apps

    So basically, today, I went to the app store to try and download a new app. It was free. So I would click the get button and then the install button. However, once I did that, it would immediately go back to the get button every time! I tried downloading other apps and it did the same thing. I would greatly appreciate it if someone could help.

    Update: So after turning on and off my iPad, then giving the app downloading thing a few more tries, it started working again!
