Did you check if there are any restrictions set up for app installation in Settings/General/Restrictions? If yes, disable them.

Also make sure to be logged into your account in Settings/iTunes & AppStore.

Hi, bella0422.


Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.


I understand that you are unable to download apps from the App Store. I would start with forcing all apps to close and restart the device. Once this is done test downloading an app.


Force an app to close in iOS


If the issue persists, here are some additional troubleshooting steps that I would go through.


Troubleshoot issues on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch


If you haven't been able to connect to the iTunes Store:


  • Make sure your date, time, and time zone are correct in Settings > General > Date & Time.
    Note: Time Zone may list another city in your time zone.
  • Make sure that your iOS software is up to date by tapping Settings > General > Software Update(iOS 5 or later) or connecting your iOS device to iTunes and clicking
    Check for Update
    on your device's Summary page.
  • Check and verify that you're in range of a Wi-Fi router or base station. If you're on a device with cellular service, make sure that cellular data is turned on from Settings > General > Cellular.
    Note: If connected to cellular data, larger items may not download. You may need to connect to Wi-Fi to download apps, videos, and podcasts.
  • Make sure that you have an active Internet connection. You can check the user guide for your device for help with connecting to the Internet.
  • Make sure that other devices (portable computers, for example) are able to connect to the Wi-Fi network and access the Internet.
  • Try resetting (turning off and then on again) your Wi-Fi router.
  • If the issue persists, try troubleshooting your Wi-Fi networks and connections.
