Why do the auto download switches turn off in app store/settings on iPad2

In settings/app store there are three auto download switches. When I turn them on they immediately turn back off on my iPad 2

Try resetting the iPad Brian...
Hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home button down at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If that didn't help, make sure Restrictions are not enabled. Settings > General > Restrictions

  • Is it possible to have the cellular data switch turn off after a period of time. I would like to minimize the data usage, but often forget to turn off the cellular switch once I have returned to wifi coverage.

    My new iPhone 6+ seems to eat up data at a faster rate than my iPhone 4.  I was advised that turning off cellular data when I am at home or work where I have wifi will keep my cellular data usage to a minimum.  But I have found that I frequently forget to turn it off the cellular once I have finished a task where I needed it. Is there a way to have it turn itself off automatically after a period of time? Thanks

    No, you will have to manually do it.
    Have you look into putting your phone in airplane mode and then connect to wifi.

  • HT4528 Why is the guided access not turning off on my iPhone? Plus, the home screen button hasn't worked since I bought it.

    This morning I tried to turn on the guided access, which I quickly regretted. The home screen button on my iPhone 5 barely worked to begin with, so when it said "Guided access enabled, tap home screen button 3 times to exit," I knew I had problems. I turned guided access off, but my iPhone now will not exit the settings app, it will not turn off, it will not shut down, and it stays only on one screen. I am about ready to go to the Apple Store and find out what is wrong.
    Please help.

    Go to the apple store and find out what is wrong.

  • How do you disable the "Cellular Data is Turned Off for '[app]'" message?

    I keep getting this message on my iPhone.  I know that the programs' access to cellular data has been turned off.  Does anyone know how to disable this message?  Is Apple going to fix this software issue (I know many people have had this problem too)?

    I find it very frustrating that only some users like me but not all have this issue.. This is clearly a bug in within the newest update and it is the most annoying. Apple need to fix this. I have no data, it comes up, the wifi is on, it comes up. Regardless of what i do, On or Off and even restoring the device it still continues to do it. Anything posted about how to fix this issue "manually" will be disregarded until Apple tech fix the software issue..

  • I would like to take an app that hasnt finished downloading off my app store on my ipad2

    I have accidentally downloaded a pay game on my iPad, and would like to have it taken off, as I don't wish to pay for one that I can get for free.  Is there anyway to take it off without having to pay and then delete it?

  • Why I can not download and update software from App store?

    When I want to install some software, only display"please wait",I cannot download and update anyone! Please,help me!!!!

    Hi maplefox, it would be  a great help to the communities if you were to include:
    1: the equipment you're using and any software you're currently running
    2; a brief synopsis of what apps or software you're trying to download.
    At the bottom of any community members' replies it will have a brief list of the equipment they have and whatever software they're running.
    Could you please be more concise with the details of what you are trying to do, and we are more than happy to help. Even more experienced members have problems from time to time.
    It would also help if you could take a screenshot to illustrate what you are experiencing.
    To do that, if you are using a keyboard, press 'Command', 'shift' and '4'. A 'crosshair' looking like a gunsight will appear on your screen. With your mouse, or trackpad, finger depressed, move the crosshair to the onscreen image, move the crosshair across (from the top left corner) and drag down (to the bottom right corner) until you've covered the area you want to show and just release your finger. the screen shot will appear on your screen. To show it as part of your query page, click on the camera icon and a window will appear asking you to choose an image or file. Click on the screen shot, and then click on 'Insert. Job done.

  • Why is Firefox intruding and sending updates when auto updates are turned off? This constant update wreaks havoc with add-ons

    Why is Firefox intruding and sending updates when auto updates are turned off? This constant updating wreaks havoc with add-ons
    Why is Firefox violating my computer?

    I left "automatic updates" for Firefox UNCHECKED and left download when updates are found UNCHECKED. " Ask me wha I want to do" is CHECKED.
    In English, that means don't automatically update and if updates are found ASK.
    It does NOT mean ignore all the instructions and download!

  • HT201269 I switched from an iPhone to an LG g2, but now all my iMessages keep going to my old iPhone rather than the new one.  I know the resolution to the problem is to turn off my iMessage, but I no longer have the iPhone because I sold it to the phone

    I switched from an iPhone to an LG g2, but now all my iMessages keep going to my old iPhone rather than the new one.  I know the resolution to the problem is to turn off my iMessage, but I no longer have the iPhone because I sold it to the phone carrier.  Question is how do I turn my iMessage off through a computer that is not a mac.

    Has lock rotation been accidentally enabled within the control centre? If you swipe up the screen is there a circle with a lock symbol & if so is is greyed out or white - if white it is enabled.

  • Grandkids set up ipad2 for grandma. Passcode forgotten and never used again.  The ipad was never turned off, and was never synced or connected to main PC.  No iTunes installed on PC.  Yesterday while visiting with owner, I downloaded an app for her.

    Grandkids set up ipad2 for grandma. Passcode forgotten and never used again.  The ipad was never turned off, and was never synced or connected to main PC.  No iTunes installed on PC.  Yesterday while visiting with owner, I downloaded an app for her.  It installed and restarted the ipad.

  • HT1430 I downloaded the lateest update and I can't turn off my apps like I did on 6os. The 7os is different and I can't seem to find out if apps turn off now by just closing them. Can anyone explain this to me? Please

    Double tap the Home button and swipe the app preview page up
    iOS 7  also allows apps to run while they aren't open.

  • HT201401 Why does my iPhone 3G keep turning off by itself even when it's not dead?

    My dad had his iPhone 3G and gave it to me when he had an upgrade. He never had the issue of it turning off by itself, but when he gave it to me, all of a sudden it decided to turn off by itself even when it was on like 80% still.
    I took it in to the Apple Store near me and they said that I had too much "stuff" on it, mostly music.
    So, I completely redid my phone. I reset it completely so that it looked like a completely new iPhone. And then downloaded only 12 apps and 195 songs. And, only about 50 pictures. (This is an 8 gig by the way)
    Right now, there's less than 4 gigs on there so far meaning I still have more than half of my phone to fill. They guy at the store said it needs 2 gigs to run.
    SO, it should have started working since theres way less stuff on there now, and more than enough space to run. Why does it keep turning off still though?
    It's so annoying and inconvenient. If anyone could help it would be SO appreciated.
    THANKS!!

    Basics from the manual are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as a new device.  Go through each step in succession until your issue is resolved.
