When updating applications on the iPad, different problems may occur that make this difficult for you. Although it is not common, you have to take into account the steps to follow to be able to solve it. In this article we detail everything you need to do to update your apps on iPad without problems.
Make sure you have it purchased
If the problem you are having is related to an application that is paid, you may not have purchased it. This is something that can be quite common even though it may not seem like it. Apple allows you to make a refund for the purchase of an application in the event that you have not liked it as long as you are within the 15-day period established by the company’s conditions. The problem is that when making the refund the application does not disappear from your iPhone having to uninstall it manually.
Although it can continue to be used even if you have not purchased it without any problem, you are left without any type of update. Also in the updates section of the App Store will continue to appear to update. In the event that you give it, you will get an error of course that you cannot update. The situation may arise that you do not remember that you have returned that application and that is why you do not understand the error. So it is best to check if you have this app available for download.
Check internet connection
Internet connection networks may be responsible for not completing the download of the update. When you have a very poor speed it can stand by for hours until it finds a bandwidth and even cancel. In these situations, we always recommend updating through a private WiFi network and not through mobile data, since the download may end up ending your contracted data plan.
If the WiFi network you are connected to is still not going well, try a different one. Sometimes changing the band from 2.4 to 5 GHz or vice versa can give you the solution to this problem. And it can also be the case of doing the opposite operation of going from a WiFi network to an LTE network with the corresponding expenses in your rate.
Pause and resume the download
When an application is updating, you will see on the home screen as the icon darkens and a download animation appears. If you press hard on it, a menu will appear where you can press the download and then perform the same action to resume it. In this way, it is forced to download it again so that the problem that is causing the problem is solved.
On some occasions, by accidentally tapping the icon, the download can be completely paused. By doing this process with the drop-down menu you will be able to resume it again. There is also the possibility of canceling the update by following these same steps to be able to start it again through the App Store in a normal way.
Restart your iPad
In the latter case, you will have to restart your mobile device. In this way, the thread that may have hung while the update can be restarted. It can also work to activate and deactivate airplane mode in order to restore internet connections that can end up causing this problem.
