Question

How can I download apps on my iPad if I don't have the App Store?

Community Answer

You will never not have the App Store on a real iPad. It comes with the device and cannot be deleted. Scroll through all your pages of apps and look for it carefully. Try going to Settings > General > Restrictions, and if restrictions are enabled, disable them. If none of this helps, take your iPad to an Apple store or your wireless provider's store.

Question

What do I do if my app won't load on my iPad mini?

Community Answer

Check to see if it needs to be updated. If it doesn't need an update and it is still not working, you may have to delete the app and reinstall it to get it working.

Question

Why does my game freeze when I click on a level to play?

Community Answer

It might be due to the RAM or amount of memory your device has. Try to reduce the amount of memory you use or try to remove any unwanted apps or photos from your device. The main objective is to remove as much memory as you want to or to use as little memory as you can.

Question

I have a number appearing in the red circle, but when I go to the update there isn't anything there. What can I do?

Community Answer

First, double tap the home button on your iPad and push the tabs up to delete all running software. Then restart your iPad. If it does it again, turn it off and wait five or 10 minutes before turning it back on. If the problem continues, take it to the Apple store.

Question

The Word update disappears quickly before I can tap it, and Open appears. I can't select "update all either," and I have tried a hard reboot. How else can I update Word?

Community Answer

Uninstall it and then install it again. It should install the updated version.
