Why can I not download an app on my iPad 2?

on my iPhone I have downloaded some apps and when I try to get them on my iPad 2 it doesn't let me... The apps show up in the app store but the option to download isn't there. Is there anyway that I can download these apps?

Are you using the same apple ID on both devices?
On your iPad, could you have restrictions set and have the ability to download and install apps greyed out?
Are you trying to download on your iPad via cellular and could the apps be over the size limit for cellular downloads?

  • Why can I not download any apps to my Itouch Gen 2?

    Why can I not download any apps to my Itouch Gen 2?
    SO, I just purchased 2 4th gen ITouch’s and a 2nd gen Ipad for my kids. All is well and fine however my second gen device is toast so I am using one of my kids older 2 gen ITouch. My kids had been complaining that they could not download anything on the 2nd gen devices but I figured they were doing something wrong, my bad. The device has Netflix that works just fine but I am finding that if I were to delete the app and did not have it backed up I would not be able to get it back from the appstore. The device has been taken care of and is in good working order,  but I am finding that Apple has chosen to no longer support IOS4.2.1 which I get. However I would expect that at a minimum I would be able to download any app that was available for the 4.2.1 os at the time the next version was released.
    Drive space it cheap and ****** off customers are expensive.
    Apparently Apple has planned obsolescence built into their business plan which I am finding pretty hard to swallow.
    I just purchased over a grand worth of new devices and I am wondering if that was wise since apparently apple will deem them obsolete in a couple of years. That great because the newer devises are great, however I have a devise that there is nothing wrong with and apple has made the choice to no longer support the devise and not allow applicable software downloads making the devise basically useless. This is not supporting your customers!
    I would hope that Apple changes their posture on this planned Obsolescence and backs its products durability with the ability to get applicable apps for the actual lifetime of the devise and not some 2 year window.
    I brought my concerns to the nearest apple store where they gave me some song and dance about how the older devise was not fast enough. This is probably true for the newer apps but I think if this was a limitation then ITunes should make the newest version of the app at the time of the app is available for the devise.
    Like I said drive space is cheap and this is like a row in some database.
    I am wondering if I will continue to buy apple products.

    If it really is only your email, that is not valid, reset your primary email address at  https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/
    If that does not work, because of a forgotten password or security questions, or because your account has been disabled for security purposes, you need to give Apple Support a call - only they will be able to help you. See this webpage on how to contact Apple Support in your country: There are either telephone numbers given or an email form:
         Apple ID: Contacting Apple for help with Apple ID account security
    Explain, that you need help with an account security problem.
    You can also try to email the iTunes Support using this form:    https://ssl.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html

    Because it won't run/install on an iPhone 3G. You need to purchase a new phone if you want to use apps like Facebook.

  • HT201303 How can we delete our credit card details and also why can we not download free apps or by apps with credit from an i store card that has been redeemed????

    How can I delete credit cards details from my iPad Air and why cant I use credit from a i store card that has been redeeme?

    To remove the card's details from your iTunes account, tap on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and then tap on 'View Apple ID' on the popup and log into your account  - on your account's page there should be a payments link. Or you can do it via your computer's iTunes : go into the Store > View Account menu option and log into your account, and on your account's details click on the payment details link.
    Changing payment info : Change or remove your payment information from your iTunes Store account (Apple ID) - Apple Support
    If you don't get the 'none' option on the payment details screen : Why can’t I select None when I edit my Apple ID payment information? - Apple Support
    What happens when you try to buy something ? If you are trying to gift content then you will need to have a credit card on your account, your balance can't be used for gifting ; if you are trying to buy for yourself and you have a credit card on your account then its details need to be correct and complete - but your balance should be charged for the purchase.

  • Why can't I download any apps to my iPad since the iPhone 5 release?

    Every time I log in to download apps, it boots me out and tells me my session has expired.

    Apple’s having trouble with the iTunes Store servers right now. Wait for them to resolve the issue.
    Feel free to check up on the issue @ http://www.apple.com/support/systemstatus/
    This outage started @ 5am est (~10 hours ago).
    I'm disappointed in Apple's inability to do the smart thing, and post a notice in the header of the site, this is a user-wide issue, you don't just hide the fact it's happening behind a server status page.

    If you are searching within iTunes, all the Apps are for iDevices. To find Apps for the MacBook, you will need to search using the Mac App Store.

  • HT1918 Why can I not download a free app??? It says I have a billing problem.. Not true

    Why can I not download a free app? It says I have a billing problem but that's not true.

    Hi friend,
    Probably in the past you tap for a update inside the application, that made you have a pending payment in your Apple account. Go to www.apple.com and check about pending payments. If you have, wait for around 30 days (starting to count from the day you asked for the paid update) then it will be canceled automaticaly.
    Hope it helps

  • Why can't I download Pandora app on iPod touch 4th generation?

    Why can't I download Pandora app on iPod touch 4th generation?  When I search for the Pandora app in the App Store it comes up and shows that it is free, but it does not allow me to click on the button to download it.  The Free button is not highlighted.  No problem downloading any other apps. I appreciate any suggestions. Thank you!

    It might be incompatible with the current version of software on your ipod Touch.
