IOS – iPad application failed to install from iTunes on Windows

iosipadiphoneituneswindows

I am trying to install an application on my iPad 2 from Windows. Whenever I do so, I am getting an alert on iPad: Application failed to install.

When I install the same application from iTunes on my MacBook, everything works fine and the application is successfully installed on the device. I am sure it is not the case of some provisioning profile error. There might be some issue with iTunes or the OS version, but I don't know.

I have iTunes 10.5.5.3 and Windows Vista. Can someone help me?

Thanks,

Firstly, check to make sure that there is not a download in progress that has not been interrupted/paused.

Secondly, the file may be corrupt, my suggestion would be to remove the .ipa file from windows, and allow iTunes to re-download it.

  • right click the app within iTunes and click "Show in Windows Explorer"
  • find the .ipa file for your application and delete it.
  • re-download the app from your Purchased Apps page in iTunes.
