Dark iPad Apps? Here’s what to do

08/14/2020 Tom Rule

If you have one or several iPad apps that are “dark”, still installing, and/or giving you a message saying you need to purchase the app from the app store when you click on it, here is what to do:

If you only have a couple of them, check to see if the app is available in the app portal. If it is, try to install it from there.

However, if you have many:

Take the iPad home. Make sure it is connected to your home network. Plug it in. Leave it alone – don’t even TOUCH it – overnight.

If that doesn’t work:

Bring your iPad by the ARC when you can be without it for several hours – either first thing in the morning, or after 12:30.

Meet, LMS, Mail, Drive without your iPad apps

08/11/2020 Tom Rule

Even if your iPad apps are “dark” or missing – or your iPad is broken – you can still access the LMS, use Google Meet, access Google Drive, and even check your email by using a web browser [Safari, Chrome, or Firefox, for example].
