Apps On Ipad Air 2019

[rabbit2]

Have gone to App store and picked few apps.....clicked on "get" followed by "install".
But now of course want to access these but can't find . Have googled on another tablet but drawn a blank.Iam expecting to be able to see the apps installed on the homescreen or dock and tried swiping but no joy.
Also when I get an email that has a pdf file to download and open.....where will they be found on this new ipad air?
On kindle fire I also use, I have apps/icons on screen that are always viewable.
I know these are silly problems but got everything else set up. I don't have any other apple products so can't check on them. Thanks for any help.

Just an obvious thing really but have you got an apple account on the new iPad that corresponds to the one associated with the App Store app on that iPad?
Also: are the apps actually installing or are they cancelling perhaps due to dodgy or non existent WiFi?
You should have the Mail app for emails.

yes have an apple account and id with password.
Using my email with no problems...sending,receiving and printing.
Accessing app store and installing apps.
Where should I be able to find them then?
when I get the next pdf to download and open from my email, where do I access them?

I don’t really know what’s happening with yours rabbit. Usually when you instal an app from the App Store a circle appears with an indicator going round rather like a clock and when it’s full you can open the app. Have you tried going back into the App store and looking at the app you wanted to instal? It should say “OPEN” if it’s installed already rather than “GET”. Once you’ve opened it then it will appear on your home screen. You can then move the icon wherever you like. Hope this helps.

thanks...from how you explain is exactly what I expect to see but all the apps in app store either have get or a price to buy.
When I googled this it told me that this latest ipad air would say get and then install.

What about the one you are trying to instal. What does that say?

[rabbit2]

Wasn’t going to let it beat me! Tried again and have 2 apps installed and on home screen too but didn’t do anything different. Thanks again for your input. Will wait to see when get pdf and where they go.

Sounds like you might have WiFi problems. If an error occurs during or before download it’ll usually just stop without much warning.
Apple stuff seems pretty intolerant of poor download speeds generally: I could never get iTunes to update until we upgraded our WiFi.

It’s good to hear that you’ve finally installed them now. However they could not have downloaded in the first place if you have managed to do it again “but didn’t do anything different”
You don’t sound as if you’re confident about whether opening PDF’s will work in future though. Do you have any PDF’s already, either on this iPad or any other device which you can send to yourself to check this out before anything important comes your way?

[straydog]

I agree with ichkeria. It was probably a glitch in your WiFi which aborted the initial download without you realising.

You may be offered the option to store the pdf in iBooks.

Alternatively, sign up for a Dropbox account and save your pdfs to there.
