Has this happened to anyone else?
I'm currently on iOS 7.0.3 on a brand spanking new iPad Air.
Last night, I went into the Appstore and went on a free App rampage. I "bought" probably around 10 or 11 Free apps. I decided to leave the iPad downloading whilst I did a little browsing, however something weird started happening. As the smaller sized ones started finishing, I noticed that the App icon wouldn't become available. I noticed this first with one of them, and then realised that most of Apps were simply disappearing after they finished installing. The icon simply would vanish.
I decided to let the download finish on the remaining apps before trying something, so I stopped using the iPad and let it download in peace. By the time the last one finished downloading, I noticed that NONE of the 11 apps I had downloaded were available. What's more, there seemed to be other apps that were missing. The one I noticed was the Facebook app.
So i went into Settings>General>Usage to check out if the apps that i had downloaded were on the list and sure enough there they are, however, the name is not listed -just the icon.
The app is there, and it's icon is present in the list but there is no name on it. This was true for all 11 Apps I had just downloaded as well as 3 other apps which were already on my iPad before this fiasco began.
I dont understand why these 3 specific apps happened to have a problem. These were "Facebook", "Comics" (comixology) and "It's Playing". But i've tried deleting them, and reinstalling them, and I've also tried syncing back to my computer. I've also tried looking for them using spotlight, and had no luck. I'm at a work wifi connection now and it's horribly slow so I haven't been able to try downloading them directly to iTunes and installing them from there, or even upgrading to 7.0.4 however i've done a couple of google searches and it would seem i'm alone in this bug. I'm attaching screenshots of the app list in General>Settings>Usage where you can see the offending apps have an icon but no name.
Anyone out there in macrumors land have any suggestions?
-Edit-
I've tried adding more Apps however nothing seems to be able to be added to the iPad. The apps show up as if they were installing however, when the install animation ends, the app simply vanishes! This is starting to worry me as returning this iPad will be an issue considering i'm not in the US.
