I have a new iPad that i migrated from a replaced iPad...Seven apps are operable but 10 to 15 apps will not load and this includes Apple apps like Maps, etc....Any suggestions as to what can be done to activate these inoperable apps?
iPad Pro, iPadOS 18
If the app icons show an iCloud icon under them next to their name, it means they have been offloaded.
Tapping on them once should cause them to install. The name will change to "Loading..." or "Installing..." and a progress circle should appear on the icon while it downloads.
If you tap on them again while they are installing it will pause the installation.
Once re-installation is completed, the iCloud icon should disappear and the icon on the home screen will again be in full color.
Tapping on it then should open it.
If not connected to Wi-Fi they may not complete the download however.

What exactly happens when you try to "activate" these apps?
Do they simply not open? Not respond at all?
Or they open, but the screen is blank?
Have you tried restarting the iPad?

they go through their cycle to load and quit...by this i mean the cloud with the down arrow is selected.
Well, since i still have the problem and have completed the suggestions, there is no solution, so i give this board a 2 for being helpful. I have an idea the items in question went into iCloud under my passing wife along with her password.
i have done that several time and have rebooted re loaded OS but problem remains
iPad apps don't load
