LinkedIn app problem on my iPad

In an email from LinkedIn I was informed that the old version of the app on my iPad is no longer supported as of February 18 and I should download the latest version. The problem is I can't find the LinkedIn app on my iPad. Its nowhere on my list of apps. I tried to download the newer version of the LinkedIn app but it won't let me download. Can anyone help me discover the reasons why

1) I can't find the app

2) Why can't I download the new app?

My iPad version is 7.0.4 (for some reason it says here a different version which is incorrect).

Thanks.

iPad, iOS 5.1.1

Did you check purchased at the bottom of the screen in the App Store. All your apps purchased or free should be there.

No I didn't. Thanks, great. I found out that the app was there but not activated. I was wondering how do I remove/delete apps that I have not activated or opened.? Thank you so much for your help.

If it has a cloud next to it , it means you installed and deleted the app. Are you sure you have IOS 7.0.4 ? The current Linkedin App requires IOS 6 . If you did have IOS 5.1.1 it would explain why you can't download the current version and why they sent you the email.

If you do have IOS 7.0.4 ignore the email, evidently it was an error.

Yes I am sure about the version (it says so on my iPad).

Yes, there is a cloud near some of the apps and I was wondering if those that I deleted but are still registered,do they take up space (usage)? If yes, I want to remove them completely, if NO, they can stay I presume.

That's your history and apps can't be deleted from it. No they don't take up any space. For apps you don't use often you can delete them, reinstall them then delete again. It's like adding memory to your iPad. If you do delete and reinstall any information you added is removed.
