  • How can i find my software type on my iMac?

    Hello,
    I want to upgrade mine software to Lion, but I must first buy the Snow Leopard. I don't know how I can see on my iMac if I all ready have the ''Leopard'' version on it or the ''Tigre''. Can somebody tell me how I can do this?

    You can find your software version by pulling down the Apple menu and selecting 'About This Mac...". Your current OS X version will be displayed.
    10.4.x = Tiger  (where x = any number)
    10.5.x = Leopard
    10.6.x = Snow Leopard
    10.7.x = Lion

  • How come I can't update my iPad 1 to the new iOS 6 it says my iOS version 5.1.1 is the latest version?

    How come I can't update my iPad 1 to the new iOS 6 it says my iOS version 5.1.1 is the latest version?

    The iPad 1, coming up on three years since it was introduced, has been given two major and a number of minor upgrades to iOS, more than many tablet manufactures provide. The iPad 1's hardware just can't effectively support many of the features in iOS 6. So I don't think that it's particularly unfair for Apple to no longer provide updates. And yes, I do own and manage a number of iPad 1s.
    Regards.

    Go to Settings > General > About and see what iOS version you are running.  If it is lower than 5, you won't find the software update button.  It was added when iOS 5 came out.  The current iOS is 5.1.1.  To update to the current OS, you'll need to connect to the computer you sync with (this is important - do not connect to a computer you do not sync with as you will lose you apps) and update the software in iTunes.  Once you have updated to the 5.1.1, the software update button will be in Settings going forward.  Make sure you have a lot of time.  Updating from below 5 to 5 or higher is a somewhat lengthy process.
    This link will provide the guidance you need:

    I am unable to download apps because my iOs is not up to date. No update shows up in my General settings, how do I update my iPad?

    If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.1. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.

    If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
    Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily.  Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).
    Tip 2 - If you are updating using wifi, locate your iPad close to your router so you don't get a wifi dropout (can cause update corruption).

  • How can i find out which apple ids are associated with my ipad

    When I sync my iPad I get the message that some songs cannot be updated because only 5 Apple IDs can be associated with an iPad. I am aware of three that we use in my family - mine and my two sons. How can I find out what other Apple IDs are associated with my iPad?

    Itunes limit includes computers.

  • How do I update my iPad to iOS 6

    How do I update my iPad to ios6

    If it's the original iPad, you can't.
    If it's an iPad 2 or newer running an iOS version prior to 5.0, connect it to iTunes on a computer and update it from there.
    If it's an iPad 2 or newer running iOS 5, see above, or update it from the device itself.

    How do I update my iPad to iOS

    If you already have iOS 5+ installed then you should have a Settings > General > Software Update option for direct update on the iPad. If you have iOS 4 then you will need to do the update via your computer's iTunes (you can also do it this way if you hae iOS 5+).
    To update via your computer, connect the iPad to your computer's iTunes and copy any purchases off the iPad to your computer via File > Transfer Purchases. You may also want to copy photos and any important documents off the iPad as well e.g. via the file sharing section at the bottom of the device's apps tab when connected to iTunes, via wifi, email, dropbox etc - they should be included in the backup, but it's best to have a copy of them outside of the backup just in case. You can then force a backup of the iPad by right-clicking the iPad 'Device' on the left-hand side of iTunes and selecting 'Backup'.
    Then start the update by selecting the iPad on the left-hand side of iTunes, and on the Summary tab on the right-hand side clicking the Check For Updates button
    Updating to iOS 5+ : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4972
    A first gen iPad should update to iOS 5.1.1 (it doesn't support iOS6).  An iPad 2, 3 or 4 should get updated to iOS 6.0.1, so you will lose the built-in YouTube app and the Maps app will change.

  • How do I update my ipad to 7.0.3?

    How do I update my ipad to iOS 7.0.3?

    This process will upgrade the iPad to iOS 7.0.4, assuming you have an iPad 2 or newer.
    If your iDevice is using a version of iOS lower than 5, you will need to use iTunes on your syncing computer to perform the upgrade. Use the Apple link below as a guide for the upgrade.

    You can only update it to 5.1.1(for the first generation iPad) or 6.0.1(for all others.) This is done by connecting it to a computer and updating it through iTunes.
