Why can't I download apps on the iPad anymore? Can someone help me? The common reasons why the application cannot be downloaded on the iPad are: 1. Not enough storage space. Internet connection error. The iOS version is too old. Server failure. The Apple ID is incorrect. The file format is not supported. Other limiting factors. Therefore, you need to eliminate these error factors one by one in order to fix the iPad can not download or update the app problem.

I have an iPad 1 with iOS 5. It was donated to my school so it was totally wiped before we got it. I've tried the work around previously mentioned of downloading the apps in iTunes then dragging them over to my device that is also connected to iTunes.
When I do this, a dialogue box comes up saying it was unable to install the app because the app requires a newer version of iOS. I'm really hoping Apple didn't make it so a perfectly good piece of tech is obsolete by not making iOS upgrades or apps compatible with their older technology.
The iPad 1 is literally almost 7 years old, which is an eternity in computers, but even more so in mobile devices. You won't be able to upgrade your device past iOS 5. Even if it can be argued that maybe it could've gotten one or two more updates, that Apple stopped updating it prematurely, at some point the hardware is literally incapable of running the software.
The iPad 1 has long since passed that point. It received OS updates for two years after release. Most apps at least commonly-used and updated ones have long since abandoned iOS 5. Even Facebook, which has a vested interest in ensuring that the reach of its app is as wide as possible, requires iOS v8 or above.
Instagram requires iOS v8 or above. Google Maps requires iOS v7 or above. Since the App Store only ever shows you the latest versions, it looks as if you're stuck unable to get your old apps back. Yet you can do it, and you can do it easily — if you know where to look. Open the App Store on this older device of yours and then tap on the Purchased button. As great as older iOS devices are, they are older and they are usually slower so this won't be quick.
Especially not as you need to wait until the complete list of your previously purchased apps is displayed. Once the list is complete — and all the icons have displayed too — search for the app you want.
Just tap on that iCloud download icon and you're done — or very nearly. The trick here is to wait. And maybe wait for a considerable time, too. Don't tap away, don't leave the App Store, just wait. After some amount of time, the App Store will display a notification saying that no, you can't have this app because it doesn't work with the version of iOS that your device has.
However, it will also offer to let you download a previous version. This is a really smart feature from Apple because it offers you this compatible version but it also makes sure that you're getting the newest that you can. If an app has been updated five times a year, you'd struggle to know which was the very latest you could use but Apple knows and Apple tells you. Apps get updated for a reason. You're not going to have the same experience with an older version of an app on an older device than you will with a newer setup.
Speaking of newer setups, though, it looks as if you can only use this download trick with apps that you have previously bought. If this older device is your sole iOS one then that's true, but if you have a newer one as well, you can do something more. On the newer iOS device, find and buy an app you want — that you know has a previous version which will work on your older machine.
That's the hard part. There's no surefire way of knowing for certain and the best you can do is take an educated guess. If you can find references online to the app being updated around the date of your older device, you're probably in luck.
Buy it on the newer device and then it's in your Purchased history on all your iOS devices. And that means also on your older one. Give it a few minutes for the information to propagate through the App Store but thereafter you should be able to do this download trick and get the previous version that works with your older device. If for some reason there wasn't a version that ever worked on your older device then there's nothing you can do.
However, you've at least got that app on your new iOS device and can use it there. You can also check out our official Instagram account for exclusive photos.
If you're having trouble navigating the larger display of your iPhone, Apple's Reachability feature can make it significantly easier to use your device one-handed. Although still elevated compared to the iPhone 12, estimated delivery dates appear to be contracting for the iPhone 13 lineup, according to JP Morgan.
