I have an Apple ID and a valid cc on file.
Sign out of your Apple ID, reboot yor iPad and sign in again.
Settings>iTunes and App Store. Tap your ID and sign out.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
Go go back to Settings>iTunes & App Store. Sign in. Try to download the free apps again.
His seemed to do the trick.Thanks. If it happens again I know what to do.
