Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
When i go to download an app on my ipad air ios 7 it just gets stuck on the loading spinning circle thing (in the app store app) no app icon appears on my homescreen at all... Ive downloaded loads of apps on this device in the past with the same firmware just fine.... Also it does the same thing when i try to update apps.... Please tell me how to fix this

I don't want to take credit for someone's suggestion (which actually worked), so I'm posting here the answer I got on a different thread:

I don't normally do this for people but... This was irritating me as well....
It looks like the auto update for apps is causing this..
Turn off your auto updates under SETTINGS -> iTunes & App Store
I ended the AppStore app and the opened it and all the pending apps I had purchased downloaded instantly!
Late reply but hope it helps!!!
-no I didn't check to see of there was an answer already!

again, I can't take credit - but wanted to share (the) solution - hard reset didn't do it for me (and I didn't want hassle of Restore Device if something simpler would work.

Sometimes updating to new version would cause such trouble. As Apple customer support clarified try resetting the settings and try rebooting the device. This worked for me and able to download any apps from AppStore.
sounds like one of those apps is stuck in ur download queue
try a hard reset. hold down the home button and the power button at the same time until u see an apple
Ive tried multiple hard resets and i can find any app song or video that is currently downloading/queued.... Im really smart with apple products but i cant seem to fix this one and its major too
have u done a reset all settings?
settings>general>reset>reset all settings
Yep tried that too....no luck.... Also I had about 10 app updates and now the update tab says all of my apps are up to date and I know for a fact they arent... Really annoyed... I cant even go to an apple store because I live in Spain and the closest one is too far for me
THANK YOU ALOT applesupportcomunitiesusername
Can also confirm that changing languages from your current language, respring, change back to English (or your preferred language), let it respring again...close and reopen (via multitasking) App Store and it works. I had issue, did the language trick, and all my updates showed up and I am now being prompted to enter my icloud info and able to update/download apps again. Yay.
THANK YOU! This language trick worked for me. I was pulling my hair out because I couldn't download anything on my iPhone. Problem cropped up once before; resolved on its own with iOS 8.1.3 and then happened again.
Switching language and switching back fixed it. Great tip!
Thank you! This fixed the problem!!!
The language switch worked!! (Good thing I know a little German.) I have a very happy boy because Minecraft is finally updated to match new capabilities showing up in older sister's account. THANK YOU!!
God bless you man! It helped.
Love and peace!
THANK YOU !
I had to log in to thank you! I switched the language to English (UK) and everything on download queue continued its download normally! That fixed the problem.
App wont begin to download.. Stuck on spinning circle ios7
