Partially installed ipad app

I have a partially downloaded Kindle app.  The app is lighter in brightness than other apps and does not contain an X when I try to delete.  It is not listed as one of my apps when i go to general settings.  I tried to reinstall it from the App Store but cannot because it is "installing".  How can I delete this app so I can reinstall it? 

Here are a number of things that you can try that have worked for others in the past that had stalled downloads. YMMV.
Reboot 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.
Make sure that you do not have a stalled download in iTunes - a song or podcast .... if you have a download in there that did not finish, complete that one first. Only one thing can download at a time on the iPad so that could be what is causing the problem.
If that doesn't work - sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
Settings>iTunes & App Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. 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>iTunes & App Store>Sign in and then try to update again. Tap one waiting icon only if necessary to start the download stream.
You can try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered.
If all else fails, download the updates or the apps in iTunes on your computer and then sync the content to your iPad.

    How can I install ipad apps on iphone 6 plus?

    If it's an app made only for iPad, you can't.  Some developers make apps which will work on both devices (the + sign in the download button indicates).  Some apps are made specifically for one device, and there may be separate versions for each device (so you have to pay twice!).  You can install an iPhone-only app on an iPad (but it usually doesnt look great), but you cannot put a phone-only app on an iPad.

    How do you contact Apple by email to report one of their pre-installed iPad Apps (ie Calender) is not working properly?
    On trying to open month of March 2013 the pre-installed calendar just shuts down and closes.  Have tried restarting iPad but this didn't help and because its a pre-installed App am unable to re-install it.   Is this a universal problem or just affecting me?  Tried searching for support in both App Store and on Apple site and can't see how to report this.

  • Can't install ipad app on Ipad 2 & 3

    Hi!
    We have an app which works on ipad 1 but fails to install on ipad 2 and 3. I seems not the UDID problem: we can find device's UDID at filename.ipa/.........../embedded.mobileprovision file.
    Where the problem can be? Maybe Air SDK 3.2 doesn't support Ipads > 1 ?
    Best wishes,
    Kakadu
    P.S. if you need application.xml I can paste it for you.

    Of course I contacted them. I got no answer, that is why I'm asking this community.
    I thought someone could help me

  • I'm new to iPad. I've installed some apps. The apps are "open" even when I go to something else or close that page. I just did some updates on other apps and see those apps are still "open". How do I close them?  I'm sure it's draining my battery. Help!

    I'm new to iPad. I've installed some apps. The apps are "open" even when I go to that page and go off it. How do I close them?  I'm sure they are draining my battery. Can someone explain what I'm doing or not doing correctly?  Thanks

    If you are referring to the fact that, in the App Store app, after you have installed or updated an App, that the Install button changes to now read "Open" then this does not mean that the App is Open and running. It means, rather, that, if you touch the button now marked "Open", the App will be started and "Open". It's just a quick way to get to the App you have just installed or updated.

  • Is there any way to re-install an app on my iPad 2 without synching?

    I deleted and now want to re-install an app on my iPad 2. The App store tells me it's installed and I didn't see any way to re-install it from there.
    Is there any way to re-install just one little app without having to haul out the big ol' laptop and do a synch?  Can I do anything through the cloud?
    Many thanks for reading and apologies if this has been covered dozens of times....I couldn't see it when I did a search.

    Restting the iPad may reset the Newsstand app as well. One other thing that you can try is to quit Newsstand, restart the iPad and see if that helps.
    To quit Newsstand - Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit the app 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 Newsstand app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus (-) sign in the upper left corner to close the app. 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.
    BTW .... When you download an app again via the Purchased Tab from the App Store, you are downloading from the cloud. That is one of the features of iCloud. Your app purchases are stored "in the cloud" and downloaded from there. There is no need to sync with your computer.

  • Ask your question.I installed the app" Find my phone for my Ipad. But I also installed that app on my Iphone. but the Iphone app still just shows where my Ipad is located and not the phone, how can I get then both to show location?

    I installed the App" find my Iphone on my Ipad.. its working well.
    But I also need to be able to track my Iphone if lost... I also have the app on my Iphone but when I click on it to find my phone it is showing me where my Ipad is... how can I get it to show my Iphone also? the chances of me losing my Ipad are less then my Iphone.But I need to be able to trac both.

    How was your wife using the Find My iPhone app from a Samsung phone? But, that question aside, your wife should educate herself on how GPS works, especially on a cell phone. GPS signals can be interfered with by trees, buildings, clouds. Off by several miles would be unusual, though.
    If your wife is tracking your cell phone and not believing what you tell her, you may want to consider counseling as there are some very serious issues that go way beyond the technology.
    Best of luck.

    Hi,
    Sounds like it isn't to serious. the Bluetooth connection had an error and that is that generated
    the Problem report.
    When the Blackberry started to use Bluetooth the "gold standard" was using Microsoft's
    "native" windows drivers. Now, every major PC company has there own version
    Thus the problem report.
    There is  rather involved and lengthy procedure to check and install the correct Bluetooth drivers
    in the Dell, but I really don't think you want to take that on.( Nod you head and say H*LL YES)
    Here is what I propose;
    The problem report needs to be resolved or it wont go away. Read the manual, call Dell,
    try apologizing to it and that you'll never never do it again, what ever it takes!
    Make the best investment you can make for your Blackberry, buy a media card.
    All the memory in the BB is dynamic, this facilitates the functions of the phone.
    By storing media in that memory, you effect are wasting X amount for file storage.
    Store all media and files on the media card, and you will have a smooth running device.
    They run about $25.00usd, they are easy to install, and they also make moving your
    media a snap. You will need the USB adapter that came with it, but you can get that at
    your local carrier store.
    So if you agree with this I need some info.
    On the Blackberry go to the options icon,click then scroll up to ABOUT.
    I need your software version number, it's listed in this format: 4.x.x.xxx.
    Send it back to me and I can tell you what size card you can get.
    Let me know your thoughts!

  • I bought a new ipad air but when i install the apps , all of them are gone , but i app store still are and says you can open it. But it can not open.

    I bought a new ipad air but when i install the apps , all of them are gone , but i app store still are and says you can open it. But it can not open.

    The apps available to you are dependent on your location. If you are not in the USA, then you cannot get the USA app store. Whilst you may think that is unfair, it has been a part of the stardard terms and conditions you agreed to when you setup the iOS device in question originally, as well as every time you click agree to the terms and conditions.
    This is done because of two things, firstly there are many legal and semi-legal reasons that an iOS app store download is available in one territory and not another, in addition to this, it also allows apple to provide language specific content, as well as team up with companies and organisations within individual organisations in order to provide you with exclusive offers, content, and information, which it would not otherwise be able to do.
    Rules for the iOS app store are also applied in varing forms for the music store, the books store, and the iTunes U content library.
    I can very much understand your fustraition, as someone who spent a considerable portion of his life, especially during the years he grew up, living in California, USA, but now living in London, UK, I too find it very fustraiting that you cannot always get the same content from one country to another, especially when most marketing for iOS apps originates in the USA these days.
    I hope this helps your query and helps to ease your fustraition. If you would like apple to be aware of your fustraition, rather than putting it onto a pubilc form which is on monitored in a very limited capacity, then you can fill in the form at http://www.apple.com/feedback where you can give your complaint straight to apple.

  • I can't install any apps on my iPad.

    I don't think it's an Internet problem as I can still use Safari and the Store, but when I attempt to install any apps, it starts to download then when the blue bar is almost full it starts again and it's so annoying because it just does it over and over again until I delete it. I don't know how to fix it as I don't think it's a problem on my end.

    Try this first. Close the App Store app completely and reset your iPad.
    In order to close apps in iOS 5 or iOS 6, first tap the home button once. Then tap the home button twice and the recents tray will appear at the bottom of the screen. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus (-) sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button twice.
    Closing apps in iOS 7 works like this. 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.
