New iPad air, ? about downloading previous iPads apps

Just upgraded to the new ipad air from 1st generation ipad.
I backed up my old ipad to my mac book pro before I traded it in. Now I am installing all my previous apps onto my new ipad but it is taking forever. I had it plugged in overnight and it's still not done. Am I doing something wrong? I have the ipad plugged into my mac since I heard it was faster to download this way. I have approx. 75 apps to download. Will I just have to wait? Kinda frustrating but will be worth it. Any help is appreciated.
I am also new to the MacBook pro retina so maybe I am missing a setting or something I am not aware of.

I'm having the same problem actually. I'm thinking it's an issue with the store, not the device. Even loading up iBooks on my mac has been a bit slow tonight.
Maybe it's just overloaded at the moment?

New iPad Air - trouble downloading a complimentary app

New iPad Air; had trouble downloading certain apps ( iWorks, iMovie, etc.); Apple support advised to set the date one year ahead and to reset the network; advice worked; but still can not download the free Real Racing that came with purchase. Am at a loss for options. Thanks.

will check with them if I can just transfer to them or if they have it set up to use their specific softwear

Brand New Ipad Air is downloading slow, and apps are not finishing

I just bought this and am regretting my $600 investment. I've spent over 4 hours trying to figure this thing out. Safari is the slowest browser I have ever used. Apps do not complete downloading/ installing. I have reset my wireless, and my high speed internet wirks better with all my older pc's. This is brand new and I don't want to go back to the apple store, or talk to support and be insulted when they tell me it's my wireless.

I'm new to iPad and have downloaded the Nook app but don't know how to use it to get Nook books to download from my account at BN.

I am new to iPad and have downloaded the Nook app. How do I use it to read the Nook books are that in my account from Barnes&Noble?

From http://www.barnesandnoble.com/ebooks/help-faqs.asp#NOOKapp
How do I download my books to my device? I get a message "Safari cannot Download".Launch the NOOK app software to trigger the automatic syncing of your purchases to your device. You can also manually tap the 'gear' button in the lower right-hand corner of the navigation bar and then hit Account Settings. This will open a screen to allow you to enter your login information which includes your account name and password. Press Go and your information will be verified and then the contents of your on-line NOOK Library will be listed for you. Then just browse your book listings and tap on the book you'd like to download to your device. A popup will confirm your request. Press OK and the book will download to your device in the background, and you'll be notified when it has finished downloading.

Ipad air slow download

My ipad air started downloading very slow yesterday. I can't watch you tube due to slow download and can't download new software update. I am on wifi only and other devices are working fine on wifi. I have restarted ipad and wifi to no avail. Any suggestions?

Close all apps on the iPad and then reset the device. See if that helps at all.
To close an app, 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 Air (32) vs. Ipad Air 2 (16)

Hi there,
can you please help me to decide, if I buy the Ipad Air 32gb or the Ipad Air 2 16gb? It's all a matter of money ;-D
I'm going to play some games from time to time (Deinstalling a game is no problem for me, if necessary).
Pictures or videos will also be on the ipad, but not that much.
The iPad will mainly be used in university and on train/plane/bus (= playing games).
So, what's the best decision?

Hi ..
Better to invest that extra money now. Photo and video content and apps can take up storage space fast espcially with only 16GB's.
Keep in mind, every iOS update requires a certain amount of storage space. The more free storage there is on your iPad, the faster it may run since you want to use games.

First time I planned to buy a ipad Air. After seeing ipad Air having screen problems, dropped my plan. Planning to go for samsung Note 10.1 2014 edition.

First time in my life, I planned to buy a ipad Air. After seeing ipad Air having screen problems in the community, dropped my plan. Shall I go for for samsung Note 10.1 2014 edition otherwise wait for ipad Air 2.

For every iPad Air with screen problems there's a million that work fine.. If you buy at the Apple Store take a good long look and hand it back if it's not right.

Asked for iPad Air 2 box says iPad Air no 2 64GB with wi fi cellular. is this correct?

asked for iPad Air 2 box says iPad Air no "2" 64GB with wifi cellular. Is this correct?

My iPad Air 2 WiFi 64 GB box does not say "iPad Air 2", only "iPad Air", even on the back where it lists the product. It is confusing (why Apple decided to mess with us, I don't know). And, since mine will be a Christmas gift that was shipped to me, with little time to exchange it before the holiday, a little unsettling to say the least.
Here is what an Air 2 box should look like...

HT201272 Cannot download previously deleted app iphoto. Other deleted apps re install exactly as manual says. Also, how can I delete unwanted photos from "photos" app, which were brought in via Dropbox? Ipad Air wi fi running ios 7 (my first apple product

New to Apple, having fun with ipad Air, but geting frustrated with its weird ways.
Deleted the iphoto app to clear out photos (yes, really). Now cannot download it again. Other deleted apps download exactly as the manual says but not iphoto. Can anyone suggest how to fix please? Also, cannot delete test photos from"photos" app, brought in from Dropbox. Can anyone tell me how to do this please?
All help gratefully received.

You should be able to redownload it via the Purchased tab in the App Store app on your iPad - if it's not showing there (you haven't changed countries since buying the app ?) then check to see if it's hidden : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4919
For the photos, if they are in the Camera Roll album in the Photos app then you can either delete them via the trashcan icon in the bottom right corner if viewing the photo in full screen, or via the Select button top right in thumbnail view.

HT201269 I am trying to transfers my iPad 2 apps to me new iPad Air, but some of the apps did not back up on the computer. Every time I go to back up the old device, some of the apps don't get transferred. My big concern is the Olive Tree Bible Study wo

I have the Olive Tree Bible Study app, which is one of the best tools I have ever used for study and within the app I purchased several resources/concordances that are very useful (plus they had up in the wallet, but very worth it)
I had it on my iPad 2 and when I went to back it up on my iMac, the app doesn't populate in the apps tab. This also applies to some of my games but I'm not that worried about losing those.
I am trying to get those particular apps on my iPad Air.
Has anyone else come across an issue like this?
Thanks and I appreciate anyone's time.

Go into the App Store from your iPad and select Purchased, then select Not onThis iPad, and download the apps that you want. Because you already own them you can download them again for free ... provided that you are using the same Apple ID as you used when you originally purchased them.
In fact when I look up the Olive Tree app, it seems like the main app is free in any case.
Once you are in the app look for some option to restore purchases.

I have a new iPad Air and in using the App Store, it seems frozen with an app that I didn't want. I cannot look at other apps in the store or anything. How do I unfreeze it? Something equivalent to Control Alt Delete with Window.

I have an iPad Air just acquired yesterday. The App Store seems to be frozen and I have on idea how to undo it. It is as if i clicked on an app to download and it came up but it is frozen. I cannot get rid of it or go to anything else in the App Store. I tried downloading that app and opening it - didn't help. Guess what I am looking for is the equivalent of Control +Alt+Delete in Windows. Thanks.

Double tap your home button and open apps will appear above as smaller screen shots. With your finger swipe the open app upwards and it will fully close.
The cntrl/alt/delete option on an iPad is a reboot and to do so, press and hold BOTH the power and home buttons at the SAME time for about 10 seconds until the Apple Logo appears, then let go of both buttons and your iPad will restart.

How do I stop apps from my iPad Air being downloaded to the iPhone4?

If I download a game or app to my iPad Air in iOS8, why is it downloaded to my iPhone4 automatically when I sync through iTunes12 on my iMac. Have I somehow turned this auto match download? How do I stop this from happening? I only want what I download to the iPad Air, unless I manually decide to install it on the iPhone4 through iTunes12.
jr

With the settings changed on the iPhone4, why the iPad Air? I downloaded the apps to it. Then chose to delete them, which works. I just have to remember to delete them from iTunes12 eventually.
