New with iPad - unable to download apps! Help.

I am a iPAD newbie. I just created an apple ID and am trying to download my Comcast/Xfinity free app.  However, I keep getting this message:
"This Apple ID has not yet been used with the iTunes store.  Please review your account"
Not sure what I am supposed to do next in order to get moving and download apps???
Please help!

If you want to create another Apple ID and abandon this one, you can do that, but you will need another working email address as well, because you used your first email address with the first ID and you cannot associate an email address with two different Appl.e ID's.
However...  (this is ugly)
If the OP has NOT used a dot-mac/me/icloud email address with the first ID, it can be changed to a different address, perhaps a temporary one set up for just this purpose.  Then he can use that address with the second ID.  Unfortunately, if he has assigned either the ID or the primary email address to dot-mac/me/icloud, Apple shouts "Gotcha" and he can never change again (that's when your recommendation is necessary).

  • My ipad is not downloading apps,help?

    My mini ipad is not downloading apps or updates, help?

    Well, you still haven't told us the particulars of what you're doing.  But clearly you are asking your iPad to do a lot of downloading at the same time.
    My recommendation:
    Reset your iPad by holding the on/off and home buttons together for about 10 seconds till the Apple logo appears.
    Sync your iPad using iTunes on your computer.  Let iTunes bear the downloading and/or burden for you.
    In the future, when it comes to updating over-the-air, do one thing at a time.

    unable to download apps to my new ipod touch .. message keeps saying my security code for credit card is not valid...please help

    Credit card either isn't supported with the purchase or you typed it wrong.
    Or just log out, log back in and type again. Could be a system error.

    If you have an old ID in Settings>iCloud as a result of updating to iOS 7, to change it you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iPhone, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use.  If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, go to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, change it back to your old email address and save the change (you should need to verify the old account).  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https//appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

  • Ipad 2 unable to download apps

    My Ipad 2 is unable to download apps from the App Store
    IOS 5.1
    Wifi is con connected to the internet and browising fine
    Always I hit to install an App from the App Store it just says "waiting" for ever
    I managed to install from I Tunes but thats not what i want, I want to download from the Ipad like I always did!!
    Help anyone?

    Make sure that you do not have a download in iTunes that did not complete - a song, a podcast - that can stall the apps from downloading and you will get the "waiting" message. Look in iTunes and if that's the case - finish those downloads first.
    I copied this from OSX Daily's site a couple of days ago.
    If you’re trying to install a handful of iOS apps and your entire home screen is filled with app icons labeled “Waiting…” without any of the progress bars moving, downloading, or installing, you can fix this fairly easily with the two methods below. Try the first method before going nuclear with a reboot though:
    Tap a single app icon so that it says “Paused” and then tap that app icon again to see if it resumes downloading
    If pausing and resuming didn’t work: Reboot the iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch
    You may notice a related issue where apps from the App Store will say they’re “Installing” though they aren’t appearing on the iOS home screen yet, that is also resolved with a reboot.
    It’s not totally clear what causes this, though it seems that a lot of people are encountering the problem right now when moving from an old iPad to a new one. It could be that Apple’s servers are just overloaded with downloads from the App Store, or it could be a bug.
    You can also try signing out of your account, restart the iPad sign in and then try again. Sometimes that helps.

  • HT4972 I am unable to download apps because my iOs is not up to date. No update shows up in my General settings, how do I update my iPad?

    I am unable to download apps because my iOs is not up to date. No update shows up in my General settings, how do I update my iPad?

    If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.1. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.

    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 are updating using wifi, locate your iPad close to your router so you don't get a wifi dropout (can cause update corruption).

  • Hi I am having problems downloading and updating apps on my iPad and iPhone. The message cycles between waiting and loading then I get an error message saying unable to download app. Eventually,after many attempts it works.

    Hi Guys - for a few days I have been having problems downloading and updating apps on my iPad and iPhone. The message cycles between waiting and downloading then eventually says unable to download app. Sometimes after many attempts it wil eventually work. I tested it on an old iPhone 3G and got the same problem so it is not an iOS 5 issue. My WI-FI connection is working fine. I was wondering if this is an App Store problem? Anyone else in the UK having this problem?

    Hi John
    iTunes Support wasn't of any use to me.
    I have also been having another problem - with BBC iPlayer and other video streaming not working due to insufficient bandwidth, despite my overall download speed being consistently around 50Gb.  This is also affecting AppleTV downloads
    I am using Virgin Media as my ISP, and was wondering whether you do as well.  This might be the common thread.

    Reset the device:
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
    If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
    You will have to re enter the Wi-Fi password.
    No data is lost due to a reset.

  • 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.

    You need to ask Apple for assistance with getting back into your old ID. To do this, click here and pick a method; if that page doesn't list one for your country or you're unable to resolve this issue through the Account Security team, fill out and submit this form.
