Why can't I open apps on my iPad 2

I upgraded my iPad up to iOS 5.1 and after that I try and open apps but it don't work! Help please

If you can't open any of the apps that you've downloaded from the App Store, but the Apple built-in ones are ok, then try downloading any free app from the store (as that appears to reset something) and then re-try them - the free app can then be deleted.
If that doesn't work then you could try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • Why can't I download apps onto my iPad?

    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.

    There is no App Store on iPad now, Why?  How do I get to purchase apps for iPad and how do I get apps purchased in the past onto my iPad ?

    See Home Screen: Missing App Store, FaceTime, iTunes or Other Icon.

  • Why can't I open apps?

    When I download apps from the internet (e.g. BetterTouchTool) that aren't packaged in a .dmg file (i.e. they are in an archive of some sort) I can't open them. Initially when I open them, it says 'Are you sure you want to open this application. It was downloaded at x time' (or something along those lines). However, clicking yes on that has no effect, because before I even have a chance to click, it bounces once and then goes away. If I try to open it again, sometimes it won't even bounce once; it just won't show up in the dock. I think this is a pretty unique problem, because I have been searching the internet since I updated to Mountain Lion (which is when this problem started happening), and I haven't been able to find a solution, or even anyone with a similar problem until now. Please help, as this is really messing with the functionality of my MacBook.
    Specs (from System Information):
    MacBook Pro 15" Late 2011
    Processor: 2.2 GHz Intel Core i7
    Memory: 4GB 1333 MHz DDR3
    Graphics: Intel HD Graphics 3000 384 MB
    Serial Number:
    Hard Drive: 500GB SATA Disk
    Please help me out, I've got a serious problem,

    P.S. It was working fine before the update

  • 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.

    You will certainly have to provide some more information if you need help, like what exactly is happening?

  • Why can't I download apps on my iPad

    Have down loaded the new iOS but sice then I can't download any new apps or update any.  Is this a problem with the ios

    No. It's a problem on your device or with your network or internet connection. Millions of us are downloading without problems.
    Why don't you describe what is happening when you try to download apps.

  • Why can't I install apps on my ipad?  password there is a note that says sign in requreid

    iPad cannot install apps

    Are you signed in to your Apple ID on your iPad? Use the Settings app to find out.
    Settings > iTunes and App Store > if you see, "Sign In" your not signed in and need to do so.
    You must be signed in to a valid Apple ID and have a valid form of payment entered in order to download apps. You will not be charged to download free apps.

  • Why can't I open iCloud on my iPad?

    Tried accessing iPhone 5, iPad, and iPhone 4S, and keep getting prompted to set up. Do you have to access iCloud via a laptop or PC?

    If you mean that you are trying to go to iCloud.com in a browser on your iPad, you can't - unless you use a browser that can identify as a desktop browser like iCab Mobile or Mercury. All of the information that is in iCloud is already on your iPad...Notes, documents, contacts Photo Stream, email. There is no need to go to iCloud.com.

  • Why can't I install apps on my iPad 2 after I upgraded it into iOS 6?

    I pressed the install button and then  it was stuck in the state having an empty bar waiting to be filled. Nothing happens. Does anyone know what's wrong?

    Try a reset:
    1. Hold the Sleep and Home button down (together)
    2. For about 10 seconds
    3. Until you see the Apple logo (very important)
    Note: You may need to do the above a few times

    Why can't I open iTunes or apps on ipad1? And why do apple not support the latest update for ipad1 when it's less than 2 years old. I am sick of huge corporations ripping off joe public!

    And the processor limitations.
    iPad: RAM - 256MB, Processor - 1 GHz Apple A4
    iPad 2: RAM - 512MB, Processor - 1GHz dual-core Apple A5
    iPad 3: RAM 1024MB, Processor - 1GHz dual-core Apple A5X
    Similarily, the iPad 2 did not get Siri and some other features in iOS 6.

    I can't find "Download hd". The question is better addressed to the developer of that app. Unless you have the name wrong?
