My iPad2 is refusing to download apps.

I've been trying to download a few free apps this morning and allnit comes up with is a grey tile and waiting written underneath it. It's been like this for 30 minutes now. I tried turning off the iPad and resetting the iPad and when I did it deleted 2 of the apps I was trying to download. How can I fix this?

There is nothing wrong with the App Store or iTunes that I have noticed. I have downloaded from both apps on the iPad yesterday and today. This "waiting" icons is a not a totally uncommon issue. You can read a discussion about this almost every day on this site.
BTW - Apple does not participate here and will never read these posts other than to moderate for content and abuse. Apple provides other ways to report problems with hardware, software and the iTunes Store.

This may not work for you but it worked for me and a couple of others to whom I had suggested this.
Go to Settings>Store>Apple ID - sign out. Restart 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.
Go back to Settings>Store and then sign into your account again. See if you can resume the downloads now. Try tapping the "waiting" icon and see if a "Resume" Button appears - tap it if it does.

    - Reset the iPod. Nothing will be 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.
    - Go to Settings>Stoe and sign out and then sign back in
    - Power off and then back on the router.
    - Reset networks settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
    Could just be an Apple problem. So far I have seen another post today with same problem.

  • Can't wirelessly download app updates to my ipad2.

    I have been unable to wirelessly download app updates to my ipad2.  I can download them from my PC and then sync, but when I try to do it wirelessly, I get an "An unknown error has occurred." message.  Any thoughts?

    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow 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."
    Finally, if the Restore doesn't work, let the battery drain completely.  Then recharge for at least an hour and Restore again.

    Quit the App Store
    In Finder, under Go in the Menu bar select Go to folder... 
    Paste in the following "~/Library/Caches/ "

  • Ipad2 issue downloading apps. Help ?

    HI
    My ability to download apps has stopped. Clicking on the grey FREE box (for example) does not lead to anything - the install or blue progress bar does not appear and nothing happens. There is no storage or capacity issues. This used to be all fine - can anyone help ?

    Is something else downloading?  If so, click it to get it to a "paused" state.
    If not, try resetting your iPad.  Hold the on/off and home buttons together for about 10 seconds till the Apple logo appears.

  • I am having difficulty downloading APPS in my IPAD2. iCloud keeps on reinstalling APPS. And about iTunes, do I have to keep the APPS I downloaded through iTunes? Because I only have a Mac Air 11 64G, so I don't want to back up my iPad apps in the Mac.

    Help? I keep on moving in circles. If I download the app through itunes and i go online with the ipad, icloud reinstalls the apps. Then if I download apps with the ipad and I plug it into the Mac, iTunes is forcing me to copy the purchases I made on the iPad to my iTunes. I don't want to keep too many files on the Mac, so I remove them from the iTunes, and if iTunes suddenly decides to force me to synce, I lose a lot of other Apps that I didn't even download using iTunes. I am very confused. How do I do this manually? I don't want to back up everything in the laptop because it's memory is very limited.

    Did you ever resolve the iCloud problem.I am in the same position and its driving me mad!!! If you have a link to an solution I would appreciate it.

  • Help needed to download app to ipad2

    I have tried to download some apps to my ipad and the icons still have 'waiting' under them about 18 hours later! I have never had this problem before but have just updated the OS. Any ideas?

    John...
    Try resetting >   Hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home button down at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    Then follow the instructions for re downloading apps >  Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    If resetting doesn't help, try resetting the network settings.
    Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
    Then try downloading again.

  • I download app from app store and my ipad2 show Err 1004 please try again , i want to know what's that mean

    i cant download apps from appstore. it always show err 1004 please try again. what's meaning?

    A few users have reported this problem and one of the solutions is to go into settings on your iPad then general and at the bottom reset/ reset all settings.

  • Has anyone run across "error 1004" while trying to download apps on the iPad2? How can I resolve this?

    I downloaded my work apps on my new iPad with no issues, but when i went to download apps from the App store "error 1004" would popup and then i could not continue with the install.  I did a soft reboot and was able to download one app, but the next one came up with this error again.  Any thoughts?

    Try this. Settings>Safari>Clear History, Cookies and cache (data in iOS 5) then restart the iPad. If that doesn't help, look here for more tips.

  • Why do I have to login to the itunes store on my computer in order to download apps on my iPad2 now?

    I am not sure what I changed, but now when my Macbook Pro is turned on my iPad 2 will not let me download apps.  It prompts me to login to itunes on my computer in order to download the apps.  Any ideas?

    You should not have to log into the iTunes store on your computer. I don't have to do that and I just tried on both my computer and my iPad to be sure. Try any or all of these things to see if it helps at all. The only exception I can think of would be if you were trying to download apps larger than 20MG via 3G on 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.
    Quit iTunes on the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit iTunes by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on the iTunes app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart 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.

    You cannot download the same Apps that you have on your iPhone. They are two seperate stores.
    The store you have on your iPhone is the same for any iDevice (iPad, iPhone and iPod)
    The store on your MacBook is only for Macs.
