How do i update the software on an ipad provided by the company without syncing to my itunes?

I have an iPad2 provided by my employer based out of Arizona. I want to update the software to the most current available. I do not have access to the iTunes account used to set up the device, and if I use my iTunes, I will loose the apps and data installed on teh device when it was issued to me. Is there a way to update the software without knowing my company's iTunes account and password and without losing the apps and data currently on the device?

Ok, thank you for the prompt response. I guess I will ahve to send it back to corporate for them to update.

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're updating via wifi, place your iPad close to your router to preclude getting a corrupted download.

How do I update the software on my Airport Express?

Hello everyone,
I have an Airport Extreme base station acting as WDS and an Airport Express station. I recently upgraded the security on the Airport Extreme base station from 128-WEP to WPA (Personal), but I don't know whether I have to do something to the Airport Express base station. It's green light is on. Do I need to do something? Also, how do I update the software in the Express? Whenever I open the Airport Admin Utility, the only thing that comes up on a scan is my Extreme base station. Any advice would be most appreciated.

yes you need to update your Airpost Express. I just went through this last week with two of my Airport Expresses. I updated my Base and my Remote's light was green but was unable to view it in Airport Admin Utility. So this is what I ended up doing and it works great.
First bring the Airport Express you are working on in the same room as your computer......just the ease of seeing what is going on with the Airport Express. Next you need to reset it.....take a paper clip and push in the little button next to the Audio port and hold in 10 seconds. Then unplug the unit wait 10 seconds and plug it back in. wait about 3 minutes and then you will need to use Airport Set Up Assistant. You will need to make sure you have WPA Personal on your Airport Express too.
don't forget to make sure you have the update firmware too.

I hope this helps.....

You needing to be running iOS 5 or later in order to do a Software Update from the device. To run iOS 5 you need a 3G or 4G iPod Touch. So if you really have a 4G iPod Touch, connect it to iTunes and you should be prompted about an update to its version of iOS.

I have a 2002 imac, how do i update the software?

i have a 2002 imac, how do i update the software? i have the original software and it wont let me update itunes! help!!

Apple seldom leaves of old versions of iTunes compatible with a 12-year old computer on the web site. What OSX version is currently on the iMac?
If you need a newer version of itunes to support an iPad, iPod, or iPhone, your computer is too old. Full support for Apple iDevices requires Mac OS 10.6.8; a 2002 iMac is limited to no higher than 10.4.11, or maybe 10.5.8 with a hack. Still, not enough for working with current mobile devices.

HT4623 My ipod touch does not have the option "software update." It currently has the version4.2.1. How do I update the software?

How do I update the software?

Sounds like your ipod version is too old like 2nd version. Call apple to verify. 4.2.1 is a Marker as the highest older devices can go. If itunes or your computer operating system is old or not updated it can say this is current.

I can't update the software on my iPad 3 even though I've got enough storage space

I can't update the software on my iPad 3 even though I've got enough storage space, can you help? It is to update to IOS 7.0.4

Storage space on iCloud is not a substitute for storage space on the iPad. You need sufficient storage space on your iPad to accomodate the download. How much Available space do you have? Go to Settings>General>Usage
How much space is used by your Other? You may be able to reduce.
How Do I Get Rid Of The “Other” Data Stored On My iPad Or iPhone?
http://tinyurl.com/85w6xwn
With an iOS device, the “Other” space in iTunes is used to store things like documents, settings, caches, and a few other important items. If you sync lots of documents to apps like GoodReader, DropCopy, or anything else that reads external files, your storage use can skyrocket. With iOS 5/6/7, you can see exactly which applications are taking up the most space. Just head to Settings > General > Usage, and tap the button labeled Show All Apps. The storage section will show you the app and how much storage space it is taking up. Tap on the app name to get a description of the additional storage space being used by the app’s documents and data. You can remove the storage-hogging application and all of its data directly from this screen, or manually remove the data by opening the app. Some applications, especially those designed by Apple, will allow you to remove stored data by swiping from left to right on the item to reveal a Delete button.
