My iPad is not opening apps and there are no app updates for me to complete

Apps on my IPad will not open. I do not have any updates to do on the apps. All of these apps open on my IPhone and Dell computer.

Apps on your Dell computer would not be the same apps as on your iPad, so them opening them has no real bearing on your iPad. Dell is an entirely different platform than your iPad.

Are there some specific apps , or no apps whatsoever open your iPad?

Sounds like your apps aren't even on the iPad at all, they are trying to download.

Is the iPad connected to the internet?

Settings ➜ Wi-Fi?

Can you open the App Store on the iPad?

Do they icons look dark or shaded?

Yes, I have rebooted the I Pad several times. When i click to open my downloaded app, it says, "Unable to Download Item, Please try again later". Such well used apps like Facebook, Fitbit (for my watch) and Gmail will not open even after selecting "retry".

My Ipad is old. Software version 12.5.7. Is the memory not able to hold all these apps?
