UK based iPad switched to US App Store

As of two days ago, the iPad will only connect with the US App and iTunes stores with which I am not registered, being UK resident. It tells me to switch to the UK store,but doesn't tell me how. Can anyone help, please?

Click here and follow the instructions to change the iTunes Store country.

App will not download to iPad when purchased from App Store - stuck with Cloud icon

Device : iPad Air 32gb wi-fi model (not cellular data)
OS version : 7.1.1 (up to date)
Location : UK
Problem : App will not download to iPad when purchased from App Store - stuck with Cloud icon
Last night I tried to download an app over wi-fi onto my iPad Air, but the app did not install.
I have plenty of space (the app is 24.1mb, I have 3.4gb free space) and there are no restrictions whatsoever on my iPad - no blocks on App store purchases, no age-related restrictions, no country restrictions etc.
Normally from the App Store page you would tap the price (in this case the app was free), enter your iTunes password, and the app would download.
Also a new icon appears on the home screen and a circle shows the progress of the download.
However this did not happen.
Instead I have the Cloud icon (the one that shows when you have bought an app but it is not currently installed on your device) and a message that says "You've already purchased this, so it will be downloaded now at no additional cost".
If I press OK I am then prompted to enter my iTunes password, the Cloud symbol briefly changes to a circle (and I mean for a split-second, like the blink of an eye) and then the Cloud symbol appears again.
The app does not download - in fact it does not even *attempt* to download.
I have tried this >20 times now and it always occurs excatly like this.
After Googling this problem (which seems common) and reading over a dozen threads on this forum plus Apple's own official support pages, this is what I've tried:
I can re-download other apps that I have previously purchased on this iPad, with no problems.
I purchased another app on my iPhone 5 and was then able to download onto my iPad with no problems.
I have reset my iPad >5 times - both by pressing/holding the home/power buttons, and also a full switch off and restart.
I have logged out of my iTunes account on the iPad, and logged back in.
The wi-fi is Virgin Media fibre optic broadband with a verified speed of 20 meg (confirmed by Speedtest) plus an 802.11-n Belkin router and my iPad will happily load web pages, stream videos on YouTube, download other apps etc.
I have reset/rebooted my internet connection
In an attempt to eliminate by broadband connection from the possible causes, I have switched off my router, linked my iPad to the hotspot feature on my iPhone and tried to download the app over cellular data, but still cannot download the app.
I have tried on 2 other wi-fi networks but still cannot download this one app.
My iTunes account has a cerdit balance from an iTunes card, but the app was free anyway
Nothing I try will download the app in question.
The app is iPad only, so I cannot install on my iPhone to try and kick-start the process.
I guess I could install the app on my computer and then sync the iPad, but that's *working around* the problem - it's not *fixing* the problem.
(Since getting the iPad I use almost never use my computer. And anyway what if I did not have a computer? Didn't iOS go "PC-free" with version 5?)
I would like to call Apple but my 90-day telephone support has expired (the iPad is around 6 months old) and I don't want to buy Apple Care for this one problem.
I can't make it to an Apple Store to speak to a Genius.
Bearing in mind the list of things I've already tried, what do I do next?
Thanks in advance for any support.

Hi there.
Thank you very much for your quick reply, it's really appreciated.
No need to apologize, I actually found the phrase "If your iPad ever craps the bed" amusing under the circumstances
I checked the list of installed apps like you suggested (Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Show all apps) but this problem app is not in the list. I have also swiped down on the home screen to search for it, but again it does not show.
While it has not let me download the app (and I just tried it again) it has helped me to eliminate a few things from the list of what to try, and I can definitely conclude that it has not downloaded.
I guess I need to fire up my PC and download it / sync my iPad.
Thanks again for your help

IPad goes straight to app store - help!

iTunes on my iPad goes straight to app store. How can I get my music list to appear? I have already tried resetting and restarting the iPad. I have tried turning off WiFi and then restarting iTunes but it just says I need WiFi for the app store. I can't get to my personal music/videos/etc.

The App Store app on the iPad is just that, it's the store for browsing/downloading apps. Similarly the iTunes store app is for browsing and downloading music, films and tv shows.
Your synced and downloaded films and tv shows should be in the Videos app :
And your synced and downloaded music and audiobooks should be in the Music app :

I have the same issue. I followed the instructions and successfully changed to the US store but my App Store and iTunes still accesses the old German one and so I cannot find or download US app store apps.
Do you meet the following requirements: 1) have a valid billing address in the U.S., 2) have a credit card billed to that address or an iTunes gift card purchased in the U.S. and 3) are you physically present in the U.S.?
If you don't meet all of those requirements, you can't purchase from the U.S. Store.

Hi Baem_leeds
Welcome to the Support Communities!
If you change your Apple ID you will need to sign in with the new information or password the next time you use an Apple service or feature that uses Apple ID. If you have multiple devices that use features and services that require an Apple ID, you will need to sign in again on each device.
The links below will provide additional information:

Why My iPad 3 iOS 6 apps stores can't show the iPhone apps

Why My iPad 3 iOS 6 apps stores can't show the iPhone apps..

Devices connecting to the app store are detected and the appropriate apps are shown for the device...for example, a Mac OS X computer will only display the Mac App Store apps, an iPhone will only display the apps that will work on the iPhone, an iPad will only display the apps that will work on the iPad, and in this case there are apps that work on both the iPad and iPhone so those apps are displayed but not the iPhone-only apps.

Some of the applications on my iPad cannot be updated because the iPad cannot connect to App Store

I don't understand why the applications I have on my iPad don't get updated. Every time I choose Update All, there appears a message saying CANNOT CONNECT TO APP STORE. Is there any problem between my iPad and the App Store or is there any problem with the App Store itself?
Best regards
William

Hi Just go to ITunes Sign out then Sign back in. This may help. Also you need to update software to ios 8.1 Cheers Brian

Using a US iPad with the Mexican app store

My Mexican mother-in-law wants to buy an iPad while she is visiting us in the US. How would we go about setting up the Us bought iPad while she is here in the US to use the Mexican app store?

The App Store is easy. It belongs to your Apple ID. If she has a Mexican Apple ID will be automatically routed to the Mexican App Store. The country of purchase is irrelevant. There may be issues getting warranty support in Mexico for a US iPad. The warranty on iOS devices is not worldwide. You can ask at the Apple Store to see if Mexico is considered "US-enough". Also, bringing a US iPad back across the border could be trouble. The border guards might want taxes and/or duties.
