Apps won’t download

Every time I try to redownload or download an app on my iPad, it asks me to input the code for my apple id, then after i input the cord, it closes the window, starts “loading” the app and then another popup calling me to “install” the app appears again and it never really downloads the app. I’m stuck and every time i try redownloading an app, it just loads forever.

iPad, iPadOS 17

Begin with a forced-restart of your iPad - as this will often clear an isolated software issue:


Force restart iPad (models with Face ID or with Touch ID in the top button)

If your iPad doesn’t have the Home button, do the following:

  1. Press and quickly release the volume button nearest to the top button.
  2. Press and quickly release the volume button farthest from the top button.
  3. Press and hold the top button.
  4. When the Apple logo appears, release the top button.




Force restart iPad (models with the Home button)

Press and hold the top button and the Home button at the same time. When the Apple logo appears, release both buttons.




If the problem persists after performing the restart, you might be well advised to seek assistance directly from Apple Support. You can contact the Support Team using the Support link at top-right or bottom-left of this page.

Try the forced restart LotusPilot suggests, but you can also try signing out and back in to the App Store in Settings > [your name] > Media & Purchases > 'Sign Out'.
