If you have apps on your ipad that are “black” or “grayed out” or just “won’t work”, here are some things to try:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. First, make sure you have a live connection to the internet. Fire up a web browser and visit a website you’ve never visited before. <\/a>Then plugin your iPad and wait a half-hour to see if anything changes.<\/li>\n
  2. If nothing has changed,\u00a0 then do the “iPad Reboot Dance<\/a>“:
    \nSwipe out of all your running apps,
    \nthen press AND HOLD the power button on the top of your iPad.
    \nSwipe to turn it off.
    \nWait 2 minutes, and power it back on.
    \nTHEN plugin your iPad and wait a while, to see if anything changes.<\/li>\n
  3. Try clicking on one of the dark apps – sometimes that gets the install process kickstarted.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    If NOTHING works, then send an email to IPAD – listing what apps are dark.<\/p>\n
