In the apps store in itunes, I am trying to download an app to in ipad mini. I connect the ipad to the computer and select the app to install, it shows that the app is being downloaded, but to "where" there is no evidence that the app is downloaded!

There are no Restrictions set on the ipad. If I had set restrictions, I would not be able to get to the Apps store in the first place. There are other apps in the Apps store that can be downloaded (the download button is not "grayed out". The problem is that the download button for this particular App is "grayed out" , therefore the app cannot be downloaded!!

There are two places in iTunes on your computer where you see Apps.

In the left sidebar (if you don't see a left sidebar use the View Menu in iTunes to View Sidebar) Apps will appear. Clicking there shows you all the apps that are in iTunes on your computer.


When you connect your iPad you should se it listed in the left sidebar. Clicking on your ipad there will bring up a row of tabs in the right window of iTunes. Apps will show there. Click on that Apps and you'll see a lits of apps and each will have a box to check to select the app. Those apps that are selected will be synced to your iPad once you click on Sync or Apply.
