My iPad Air won't download any apps or app updates.

Okay, so my iPad Air has not been downloading any apps, when I tap update it brings the download icon up but does nothing. I stop it then start it again and the loading icon just spins constantly. It's sorta the same thing when I download an app or anything else. my wifi is fine and I can connect to the internet with safari or any of my apps, I even tried it from a friends network and it did the same thing.
A List of things I have tried:
1. Turn off/on IPad
2. Reset iPad, (holding lock and home for 15 seconds)
3.  Reset network settings
4. Reset all settings
5. updated iPad to iOS 8.1.2
6. signed out of iTunes threw settings>iTunes and App Store>Apple id> sign out, then restarted the iPad and signed back in
7. Downloading things from a different and working wifi connection
none of that has fixed it, I seriously do not want to back up and restore if at all possible because 1 it's such a hassle and 2 I have such bad luck with backups, last time I did a backup and restored from it I lost the app data for 5 of my apps 3 of them being games I loved playing (infinity blade 3, gangster vegas, modern combat 4) because no matter what I did or how many times I restored from the backup those apps would not sync over to the iPad. I had read something that I should check the Downloads tab in the ITunes store to make sure there were no downloads stuck preventing other things from downloading, but recently I noticed the download tab is no longer an option on my bar in iTunes and no icon for it in edit. same with my iPhone 6. (why would Apple remove something like that?) I searched every inch of the iTunes store and even in view your apple ID i can't find the download queue anywhere.
Am I overlooking the download queue? Did they remove it from iOS 8? Anything else I can try besides restoring? X.x this has been going on for to long now and I just got a Jot Touch for my iPad and wanted to download some apps i could use it with but I can't because of this, I'm also missing out on holiday stuff and new games :/ If anyone can help me with this I would love you forever.

Yeah, I know I can restore it, but I might as well go ahead and try. I just finished a backup for icloud and itunes to make sure, I'll go ahead and restore it and set it up as new and see how that works. Seems like I have no other options at this point, I'd still like to know what they did with the Download tab in itunes store, if they removed it or if I'm just overlooking it.

  • It could be a 2nd generation iPod or a 3rd I'm not sure but it requires an update of ios 4.0 and I don't know how to do it as it won't download any of the apps.

    I think it's a 2nd generation or 3rd but its asking for a software update of iOS 4.0 as it won't download apps.

    Identifying iPod models
    Original ipod touch will go to 3.1.3
    2nd gen to 4.2.1
    3rd and 4th gen to 5.1.1
    To update, open itunes, connect ipod.

  • My iphone won't download any apps i dont know what to do

    My phone won't download any apps anymore. I don't know what to do.

    Make sure you don't have any paused installs or downloads in other apps, like the App Store or iTunes Store.
    If that doesn't do it, try resetting or restoring the iPhone.

  • I have an iPad air and have downloaded the microsoft app excel.  I have an email with an excel attachment.  When I "tap to download" the attachment, it auto converts to a PDF file.  I want it to open in excel.  Please help.

    I have an iPad air and have downloaded the microsoft app excel.  I have an email with an excel attacment.  When I "tap to download" the attachment, it automatically converts to a PDF file and opens as a "view only" document.  I want it to open with the excel app so I can see and update the spreadsheet.  Please help.  Thanks!

    If Excel works as do other apps, you should be able to tap and hold on the attachment and then select "Open in Excel" in the window that will open. Note that you need to be subscribed to and signed into Office 365 to be able to edit documents in Microsoft's apps.

  • My iPad won't download any music.it says download error. I have 100 downloads stuck on my downloads at the bottom of the page on itunes

    My iPad won't download any music. It says download error try again. I have 100 downloads stuck on my downloads in iTunes store.

    Remove the song in question from the sync list and see if the rectifies the problem.
    If it does, then iTunes believes the song no longer exists on your drive and that will need to be corrected.

    You will need to contact iTunes support and ask them why you are getting the message and how to resolve it, which you can do via this page (these are user-to-user forums) : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

    Z zoozx ,
    How could Microsoft come up in a forum about an Apple problem?  We have heard for years how superior Apple products are but we've never had as many headaches and problems with our Windows PCs over the years as we have with the Apple devices we now have.  My wife has the most recent iPad and my son has the most recent ipod Touch. Earlier problems notwithstanding, the iOS 7 upgrade was horrible and hard to imagine for a device where the company controls all of the hardware and the software with no variants.  As for Microsoft, I can say I have programmed on many various platforms from PolyForth to Unix to Windows and .NET.  I think what many Apple users don't understand about Windows is the sheer magnitude of variables in making the software and all upgrades work for such a myriad array of hardware platforms and usage scenarios across an enormous number of partners and small to large enterprises.  Anyone who has worked with a large integrated system can get a sense of this.  I work in healthcare and our HIS system is rated #1 in it's class (built on a derivitive of an old MIT OS) but due to it's vast integration capabilities and the variety of usage and setup variables from site to site, it requires daily dilligence in error reporting and resolution across all of it's applicaitons.  Microsoft Windows works and integrates with a massive number of other Microsoft client and server solutions that are used by the vast majority of enterprises in the world. It's no small feat to keep the Microsoft software stack in good working order.  Of course everyone is entitled to their opinion but I wish we could past this ABM mentality that pervades online forums. I'm not sure if you've noticed but the Apple forums are jam packed with folks like yourself and me having problems with Apple hardware or software so I'm not sure where we can say one is better than the other, even if you could carve out some realistic benchmarks from which we could compare them on an even playing field. 
    With all the said, and I apologize but feel that the Anti MS anecdotes belong left long in the past, but any ideas on how we can get the supplied power cables to charge the devices they came with? I don't believe I've ever encountered a problem at the power cable level like this in which 2 cables are not working on 2 different devices. I think it points to software problems but as someone else mentioned about display settings, I'm not sure how your display settings affect the charging of a device in a non display mode. Would that suggest the thunderbolt cables are not capable of delivering enough charge to keep up with idle power consumption? 

  • IPad Air won't charge with ipad made adapters but only with iPhone's

    My ipad air won't charge with any ipad made adapters! but will charge with my iPhone adapter. Oh and I bought my charger and adapter for my iPhone (that I now use for my iPad Air) at a store that doesn't relate to the officials apple store for only 12 dollars sadly when I charge my iPad Air
    TTo let you know, my ipad adapter would always get hot so is it a problem with my ipad or adapter

    my ipad adapter would always get hot so is it a problem with my ipad or adapter
    Since your iPad charges with the phone adapter, the iPad adapter (that is made by who knows) is the problem. You tried to save a few dollars and it did not work. Get a real Apple adapter and your problems will go away.

  • IPad air won't connect to Bluetooth speaker?

    My new iPad air will not connect to my Vizio Bluetooth speaker.  When I put both devices in discover mode, the speaker is listed on the iPad, but will not connect?  The speaker connects just fine to my iPhone, or to my older (original) iPad.  I have re-booted the iPad, and powered down(unplugged) the speaker, but no help. 

    Bluetooth on my iPad air won't find my android phone, but the phone has apparently paired with the iPad. They just won't talk. Same problem with my wife's iPad 4, won't discover anything at all! I know that Apple is known for not communicating with non Apple products but this is ridiculous. Any ideas? Thanks ;)

  • Ipad Air won't open in My Computer

    Hi,
    My Ipad Air won't open in My Computer on my PC. My Iphone and older Ipad open just fine, but my newer one won't. It shows up fine in Itunes.
    I'm trying to get on it to see about copying photos. My PC has, for some reason, converted a bunch of my photos to the .ithmb suffix and they won't open on my PC. This whole episode is baffling. Any help would be appriciated.

    Hello BHP11,
    Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with importing photos from your iPad Air. 
    First, if the AutoPlay dialog box does not open, the following article suggests to check your settings:
    Import photos in Windows Vista or Windows 7
    Import photos or video from your device to your PC:
    Connect your iOS device to your computer. If the AutoPlay window appears, click "Import Pictures and Videos using Windows," then skip to step 4. If the "Import Pictures and Video" dialog appears, skip to step 4.
    If the AutoPlay dialog doesn't appear, you might need to check your settings.

    If you are still not able to import photos, I recommend continuing with the following article:

  • As ipad air works in 64bit will all the apps in itunes works in it?

    as ipad air works in 64bit will all the apps in itunes works in it?

    If you're asking if all of the apps in the App Store will work on the new iPad Air, yes, they will. Unless, of course, the specifications for the app says that it's not compatible. So far, I haven't seen any that don't work.
    Best of luck.

    Ipad2 won't open any of my apps on 2nd page. Any ideas?

    If the preinstalled Apple apps are working OK - download another app - any free app is fine. See if that lets you use the other apps afterward.
