I got my son a couple of apps last night. Most say they are pending. Why is that? One is downloading very slowly. Help!

Screen calibration, set date & time, select language (4 flavors of English),Version information, manage profiles, and the best of all..... Let's you get rid of that annoying message reminding your kids to connect the device online!

If you have installed the Leapfrog program to your computer you can remove any files that were created by your child; videos, pictures, drawings, etc. I recommend using the computer with the leap pad to register it and to download things not available in the stores. I have the Letter Factory movie and a sesame street episode. Also, if you have two leap pads, I suggest buying games online because I was allowed to download everything twice; you pay for one item and get it for 2 leap pads.

HI Daniel. I do not believe you would have to purchase the app twice. I actually had my LeapPad wiped clean due to an update and the downloads where right there in my download center where it shows just which apps I had previously purchased. I just clicked the + sign and downloaded the apps again. I called Leapfrog and they walked me through it. Just to be certain I'd call if I were you. The customer service reps are very helpful.

Yes! It just adds $20 to your LeapFrog Connect "App Center" account balance, and then you can use that towards LeapPad OR Leapster Explorer Apps -- just make sure you're in the right tab for your device.

I did this today. You can add to 3 devices. The catch is that the download has to be from the same parent account. I downloded it onto one leappad then all I had to do was plug in the other device and it synced the new apps to the other device. It is quite simple to do. If you go to leapfrogs site under the FAQ it is the first question on there and it gives step by step instructions. Good luck and enjoy the peace and having your smart device back.

I think so but I'm not 100% sure. I originally bought it as a gift for my nephew. His own Mom bought the Leappad 3. There was never any mention of any problem, but there is a chance they had trouble and just never told me. Sorry for the lack of information.

I purchased this for my Granddaughter and checked with them to be sure, sorry for the delay. They confirmed that it can be used with the Explorer learning Leap Pad. Hope that helps and you like it as much as my granddaughter does.

I read your question wrong. I would definetly upgrade from the Explorer to one of the Leappads. They are much better to play then the explorer and do have the cameras and a bigger screen. We updated from one device to the other for our boys.

That I don't know. Best to go to the LeapFrog website and check in with one of their tech guys. They should be able to help. I would think there would be a way to make it happen.

I'm sorry, I couldn't tell you. The back of the box says it works with leapfrog tablets leappad1, leappad2, and leappad ultra; and with leapster explorer and leapstergs. I looked up the explorer and TS and neither look like the one you linked to me. Sorry I couldn't be much more help.

I am also having the same problem, as I'd like to buy a Leapster for my grandson who is a lefty. I bought my granddaughter the original Leapster two years ago and he wants the same one. However I'm afraid there won't be any games available after about a year. Yet with the Leapster 2 doesn't look to be lefty friendly with the stylus on the right backside. The only thing I can think of is to cut the cord.

That's really up to you. The advantage for us was that there are reading programs (the ultra books) that only work on the LeapPad. That and my boys have lost the Explorer stylus and the screen is dinged up and we just chose to upgrade. You could probably hang in until your Explorer gives out and upgrade then.

We just had the same problem. After going online to leapster's site we tried recalibrating the stylus to the screen and that solved our problem. The procedure is located at: http://leapfrog.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/leapfrog.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=1736

Ok. I turned my leappads off. Then plugged them in via the USB and it connected and popped up for an update. After the update I was able to sync my remaining apps. Not sure why but it worked. Give it a try I guess.Now just need to figure out how to get the same apps on multiple leappads without buying/downloading 2x. :)

I buy apps instead of cartridge so that we don't lose games, and so that both of my kids can play the same game at the same time on their own leappads. We have a few cartridges and they fight over them all the time. The apps are way better if you have up to 3 kids (you can have up to 3 leappads per account). You have to take up space on the console for the apps, but we have 25 apps on ours and aren't even using half the storage on it.

Whenyou plug the leapster into the computer with the cable provided it will open up leapfrog connect. The system should have come with an install disk, but it can be downloaded for free as well. Once this program opens up, you will need to choose, or set up then choose your childs account under "my toys" my son changes his name all of the time, but it doesnt erase anything from his account. Once you are in the desired childs name on the left hand side near the bottom it says "Rewards: pets supplies and micromods" click that and then you can download treats and shampoos once daily per account (you can click into this every day and when ever you get around to syncing the system they will all download), and scroll through the games, each game has its own micromods. Some are additional puzzels earned while your child plays, or display setting and sounds, or little game add ons. The more your child plays the more of these become available till they unlock them all. I hope this helps you :)
