Why can't i download skype on my ipad

I am trying to download Skype on my iPad and I keep getting an error message that tells me that the app isn't compatible with my iPad.  Any reason why?

Depending on where you bought it/where you are, apparently some foreign countries do not allow the skype program to run - as in some middle eastern countries.
Also, you do need to download skype for iPad or through the iTunes store. Normal programs, made to run on a PC or Mac won't run on an iPad. Different operating systems

    Why can't I download movies on my ipad

    You can't install Flash player on the iPad, it's not supported on iOS devices - and as Adobe have announced that they are stopping development on all mobile versions of it, it probably never will be.
    Browser apps such as Skyfire, iSwifter, Puffin and Photon 'work' on some sites, but judging by their reviews not all sites. Also some websites have their own apps in the App Store.
    Depending upon which country that you are in then you might be able to buy films from Apple, or there are subscription film and tv show apps such as Netflix in some countries

  • Why can't I download anything on my iPad?

    My iPad won't let me download anything on my iPad, but everything is fine. I have a strong working connection and no problems. When I download something from my App Store, the app just sits on my screen and is always "waiting". It doesn't even show the design of the app. It just shows the design state where it is a circle with 3-4 lines running through it for every app I download. I can delete things though. I also try to check the diagnostics and usage for crashes/errors, but whenever I click settings>general>about , the screen freezes and I have to double-click to exit out, but I can never get to the diagnostics and usage.

    1. Make sure iPad is using the latest software
    2. Settings>General>Date and Time>Set Automatically>On
    3. Make sure Time Zone is correct
    4. Reset iPad. Hold the Sleep and Home button down until you see the Apple Logo.

    That's because it hasn't been released for the iPad. Ask the developers why...

    I have tried to download apps onto my iPad but it won't allow my to enter my password so I cannot download any apps can anybody help?

    Hi Littlexjess,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.  I would try restarting and resetting your iPad as a good initial troubleshooting step:
    iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting

    If this does not help, please reply with any additional information such as exact error messages or strange behavior you see.

  • Why can't I download app in my iPad and iPhone today???

    I can't download any update or new app today. What is going on!!! Both my iPad and iPhone  with the same user ID.

    Nobody here could possibly know why you can't download apps today. I can tell you that there are no reported issues with any of Apple Services in the U.S. which you can see here.

  • Why can't I  download updates on my iPad?

    When I try to upload new apps I get a message saying I need ios6 or more recent but when I go in to my settings There aren't any options for new software or updates. Why is this?  Is my iPad too old?

    Yes, it is old. According to your profile you're running iOS 3. In order to update you need to use iTunes on your computer but the original iPad can only be updated to version 5.1.1. Those games will still not work on your device.

  • Why can't safari download anything on my iPad?

    I have attempted to down load many things with my I pad and nothing has worked. From small files on email to audio books on audible.com. I am not tech savvy at all. Please help.

    Everything on the iPad has to be stored in an app, it doesn't have a 'file system' as you have on 'normal' computers - you should be able to save PDFs or epubs to the iBooks app, pictures to the Photos app.
    Audible.com have their own app in the app store that you can use for purchases from them (the only way to get content into the built-in Music app is either by downloading it directly on the iPad from the iTunes store app, or by syncing it from iTunes on your computer), and for email what are trying to download ? There is the built-in Mail app which allows you to copy photos/videos to the Videos app, or PDFs/documents into other apps.
    If you don't have a copy then you can download the iPad manual from here : http://support.apple.com/manuals/ipad/

  • Why can I not download apple store for iPads onto a uk ipad

    I am currently on holiday in USA, and noticed there is a app for the apple store for iPads. When I try and download it, nothing happens.
    Your assistance would be appreciated.

    You can't willy nilly download apps from the store for another country.
    To use a specific country's App Store you must be a legal resident of that country, provide a abnk card issued by a bank in that country, that has a verifiable billing address in that country.

  • Why can I not download snapchat to my iPad

    I updated my iPad to the ios7 and it tells me that snapchat and Instagram are both apps only for iPhones when I use to have both apps on my iPad before the update. It also will not allow me to download an emoji keyboard to use for twitter and iMessage.

    Thanks Wayne, I am trying this now. Yosemite is a mighty big download. I believe this is the fix to the problem, thanks again.

  • Why can't I download sky sports for iPad app on my ipad

    I can't seem to down the sky sports app for iPad onto my iPad, it's there in the App Store saying free but the free is not highlighted!
    Any help much appreciated

    The App Store here (in the U.S.) shows a Sky Sports app for the iPhone.  However, it is not free.  It shows up here with a price of US$2.99.
    By the way, there is no separate version for iPad.
