iPad apps not installing?
Sometimes when app are installing while you are at school, then you go home, then come back to school the next day, the app install process hangs.
To jumpstart the process so the rest of your apps come in:
- Doubleclick the Home button
- Swipe up out of all the running apps
- Press and hold the top power button until the slider “Swipe to Power Down” appears.
- Swipe it.
- Once the screen goes black, count SLOWLY to 30.
- Press and hold the power button until the Apple Logo appears. Then let go.
- Wait a long while – apps should start installing again.
iPad App Portal
New to the ipads this year is the App Portal, a place where students can download a selection of apps to their iPad.
No – not just any apps in the store. You won’t see Clash of Clans there…. or even Instagram.
The app list will grow from its current state, so keep on eye on it or keep watching WMDS, where we’ll be making announcements.
THE CATCH:
Once you download an app, you will not be able to delete it. So what do you do if you’ve downloaded something from the portal and want to get rid of it?
THE SOLUTION:
Email iPad [at] mountdesales.net – tell the iPad Guy what app THAT YOU DOWNLOADED FROM THE PORTAL you’d like to be deleted from your iPad.
GOT AN IDEA FOR AN APP TO ADD?
Don’t email the iPad Guy. Requests must come from faculty and administration!
