Issues downloading certain apps.

I'm on a ipad mini. I've got email,apple ID and all that. When I try to download an app e.g Party in my dorm,it doesn't even have the install button. It makes me really sad because I can't download apps of my choice...

Alfred has already answered, but yes, you want to turn off restrictions, if they were turned on.
If you were not using restrictions, then there is something else going on.

  • My ipad wont let me download certain apps because it needs ios 7 but when i check update it says there is none?

    my ipad has IOS 5.1.1 version and i know there is newer update for them as when i go to download certain apps it wont let me because it needs IOS 7 but when i have plugged it into itunes it says no update needed?

    Hello courtneys100,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    From your post it appears that you are using an earlier iPad, which can only update to iOS 5.  Some developers do offer compatible versions of their apps for people running older iOS versions, but ultimately it is up to that developer to make an older version.  Check out the article for more information about installing the latest compatible version of an app on your iPad.

  • HT4623 My iPad says my iOS is up to date but it's on 5.1.1 and when I want to download certain apps it tells me I need iOS 6.

    I have tried to download certain apps and it keeps telling me "this application needs iOS 6 or 7. But when I go to my settings to update software it tells me that it's up to dat and it's on 5.1.1 so what do I do.?

    A first generation iPad cannot be updated beyond 5.1.1.
    So you won't be able to install apps that require iOS 6 or beyond.

  • My grandad has a 1st edition iPad and when he tries to download certain apps it says he needs at least iOS 5? Shouldn't this be updated automatically? Or can this be updated another way? I haven't been to see his iPad so he may not be looking properly???

    The iOS version is not updated automatically, though if he connects it to his computer's iTunes (if it's a recent enough version) he should be prompted as to whether he wants to update.
    He should connect the iPad to his computer's iTunes and copy any purchases off the iPad to his computer via File > Transfer Purchases. He may also want to copy photos and any important documents off the iPad as well e.g. via the file sharing section at the bottom of the device's apps tab when connected to iTunes, via wifi, email, dropbox etc - they should be included in the backup, but it's best to have a copy of them outside of the backup just in case. He can then force a backup of the iPad by right-clicking the iPad 'Device' on the left-hand side of iTunes and selecting 'Backup'.
    He can then start the update by selecting the iPad on the left-hand side of iTunes, and on the Summary tab on the right-hand side clicking the Check For Updates button

    His iPad should update to iOS 5.1.1 (which is the only version that is 'signed' by Apple for the iPad 1, it doesn't support iOS 6).

  • I have an iphone 4. Recently I have issues with certain apps closing immediately once they are open. ie Email. Tried re-booting entire thing and still having issues. Any one else having this issue or a fix for it?

    Delete background Apps from memory and then Reset.
    To Delete background Apps, double click Home button, in the bar at bottom, hold down on an App Icon until the minus sign appears, tap all the minus signs, until all background Apps are cleared from memory. Then Reset, hold both Home and Power buttons until the iPhone begins to restart itself, ignor the 'slide to power off' let the iPhone restart itself. Usually takes about 10 seconds of holding both buttons.

  • When upgrading or downloading certain apps, my iPhone 5C is asking for a password to an account that's not even mine. I want this removed.z

    When upgrading or downloading certain apps, my iPhone 5C is asking for a password to an account that's not even mine. I want this removed.

    It will be  an App that you personally did not buy using your Apple id ( an App purchase locks the App to the Apple id used to buy permanently, to prevent piracy )
    Next time you get the message check which Apps are trying to update ,it will be one or all of those Apps

  • Why can't I download certain apps from the app store with ipad1

    I keep trying to download certain apps and a message pops up saying I need ios6 or higher for that app, I have a iPad 1 is that going to happen to all apps soon.

    Yes. But you may still be able to download compatible versions.  You will have to download the App to iTunes on a computer or another device that does support the App using the same Apple Id you have on your iPad.  With that done you can follow these instructions from your iPad to get a compatible version:

  • Cannot download certain apps on ipod 2nd generation

    Why can I not download certain apps onto my ipod touch, for example Angry Birds Star Wars?
    Is it because the ios version is not compatable?
    I am running 4.2.1 which is the latest ios version apparently!!
    I have an ipod touch 2nd generation.
    Many thanks.
    Jayne

    Yes, ABSW requires:
    Requirements: Compatible with iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPhone 4S, iPhone 5, iPod touch (3rd generation), iPod touch (4th generation), iPod touch (5th generation) and iPad. Requires iOS 4.3 or later. This app is optimized for iPhone 5.
    As you found out, there are now not that many apps compatible with the 2G iPod.
    SInce you can only redownload the latest vesion form the App store and many apps that were comatible with yur 2G are no lnger compatible
    I would delete the apps from your iTunes library and then transfer them to your iTunes library. See:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
    In iTunes 11 use Control+B to show the Menu bar then go to iTunes>File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
    Make sure that you do not update the app on your computer.

  • When I try to download certain apps to my ipad, the "free" button or "price" button is missing

    When I try to download certain apps, there is no "free", "install" or "price" button.  It happens just periodically.  Right now, I can't install Instagram or Netflix.  Any thoughts?  Thanks.

    Settings>General>Restrictions>Allowed Content. If you restrict certain content, apps that contain that content can't be installed.

  • Will not let me download certain apps.

    Fortunately we are all on Android, where even if a particular carrier requests that things be removed there is generally a good developer around to help out.
    JasonYeah, it's called Android Central's Sideloading Wonder Machine and requires a computer.  The only other way to get the function natively back on those phones is to "break" the phone and void its warranty.

  • My iPhone 5 won't let me download certain apps. They show up on itunes but not on my phone, if I download the app from my computer it loads on my phone then immediately disappears. The 'FREE' button is white in the app store for certain apps. PLEASE HELP!

    I'm so frustrated and in desperate need of help, I don't know what else to do! Certain apps such as Tumblr (I've previously had the Tumblr app on my phone) and Vine will NOT dowload on my phone. I've tried deleting all apps from both my iPhone and iTunes, I've tried restoring my phone then backing it up, I've tried downloading the app from iTunes while my phone is plugged into my computer, etc. When I search the apps in the app store they show up but the 'FREE' button is white and unclickable, it's very frustrating. When I download it from iTunes while my phone is plugged in I can watch it download, but when it's done it immediately dissapears from the screen and from my phone. When I plug my phone into iTunes it say I have the Tumblr and Vine apps, but I assure you, I do not. I have deleted and tried to add them so many times but it never works. SOMEONE PLEASE HELP!!!

    Oh my gosh I had the EXACT same problem, and for ages I couldn't figure out how to fix it until today. Here's what I did:
    First I went onto my computer, opened itunes, and un-installed tumblr, vine and kik. These were the apps I was having problems with (it said I had them on my phone but, like you, they didn't show).
    Then I went to the itunes store, searched for each one, and it said I could update them so I did (just FYI: for tumblr a window popped up saying "please click ok to confirm you are 17 years or older", so I did that also)
    When I went back to my phone and tried installing them again (still on my computer), it worked!
    I hope this helps, because it was incredibly frustrating. Good luck!

  • Unable to download certain apps to ITouch (3.0 IPhone upgrade required)

    I have a 1st generation ITouch. When trying to download certain applications, it says:
    Application Not Compatible. This apllication requires the IPhone 3.0 Software Update.
    At first, I thought I could only download this app if I had an IPhone, however a friend of mine has a 2nd generation ITouch and she has no problems downloading these apps. PLEASE HELP!

    I too am having the problem. I have a 16Gb 1st Generation ipod touch and want to download version 3 of the software. When checking for the latest software on itunes it claims that version 2.2.1 is the latest version!
    Why do I not have the option of iOS3? Any help is appreciated. Missing out on many apps!

  • Why is the content filtering level isn't allowing me to download certain apps?

    I tried more than one apps.... And even try to download most apps that won't even take up much space....and still isn't working.... I was thinking if I should reset my phone... ?

    Apps from the marketplace or from google play? You may want to check the preferences of the web filtering.

  • HT4623 The software update tab is not in my settings but I can't download certain apps as I need to update ???????

    I have been trying to download some apps and it tells me I need to update my iPad. The software update tab is not there in my settings, Why?????

    If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.1.3. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.

    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4623
    If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
    Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily.  Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).
    Tip 2 - If you're updating via wifi, place your iPad close to your router to preclude getting a corrupted download.
