The file could not be downloaded ipad

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.

For your convenience, I have compiled relevant information to help you solve the problem. I only recently purchased the iPad, so all my software and apps are up to date. Oct 9, PM. Page content loaded. This may actually be an Adobe problem. I assume you're viewing the pdf in iOS Chrome. You select the Adobe application and it fails to download the document correctly. Is that correct? I use the GoodReader app, and this process still works for me.

If you're using the normal send to button next to the URL bar, try touch and hold instead. You could also check for an Adobe update. We seem to be talking at cross purposes. In iOS Chrome, I'm not aware of any option to save a pdf or other file. This allows Chrome to send the URL to other apps, which then import the file themselves.

Is that the method you're using? Note that this is not possible for all pdfs, maybe because their owners want to block downloads. If you're using some other technique, please describe it. Yes, I'm using the Open In function--that's what I meant by save a pdf as I can have it available on the iPad in my local documents in Adobe to access without connectivity which I can annotate and highlight etc.

I tap on the pdf in the browser window to select the "open in", and select the option to copy to Adobe. I can only view the pdf in the web browsers. I've tried this with multiple pdfs from multiple sources from external websites that don't require logins and aren't encrypted and none of the pdfs work. And yes, all my software and apps are up to date. And, incidentally, I've used this method on my iPhone 5 for years to view and "save" pdfs in adobe locally on my phone so I can access them even in airplane mode etc.

If you're used to a computer, where you can just toss files around and open them with any application that works, you need to recognize that iOS isn't like that.

Each iOS app manages its own data as objects. So, when you try to open a pdf in Adobe, Chrome hands the URL to Adobe and it downloads the file to store inside itself.

I've just tested this process with both GoodReader and the Apple iBooks app, both of which work fine. And my pattern is similar to yours. I keep getting the error message "could not be downloaded at this time" with the options "done" or "retry". It doesnt happen all the time but it happens a lot.

At first I thought it was the internet connection in the house but the same thing happens when I'm connected to the wifi at work or to the wifi at friends houses. I restarted my iPhone 4 times once and then it finally worked. I cant do this all the time though. Is there a fix? Its just strange that it happens on both iPhone and iPad.

All other internet services work fine on both devices. Chances are you are in the wrong iTunes store. Scroll down to the bottom and make sure the country flag you see is the same one as where you are. Click to expand Grottenolm New member. Joined Jul 15, Messages 1 Reaction score 0 Points 1.
