    Make a cloned backup of your current system should you want to go back or if the upgrade isn't successful.
    Upgrading to Yosemite
    Download Yosemite from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Yosemite is free. The file is quite large, over 5 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.

    An iPhone 4S can only be updated directly to iOS 8.1.2. You need to resolve the issue which prevents you from updating to it instead of attempting to install an intermediate version.

    You do not have iOS 5 on your iPad so you have to update by using a computer via the latest version of iTunes. You can connect the iPad to your computer and launch iTunes. Select the iPad on the left side under the devices heading. Click on the Summary Tab on the right. Click on Check for Update.
    After you update to iOS 5 or later, you will have Software Update in you settings and can update via WiFi OTA. If you have the original iPad - you can only upgrade to iOS 5.1.1.

  • How do is update from ios 4.3.2 to ios 6

    I got an iPod touch 4th Gen about 5 years ago. A year and a half or so ago I stopted using it, then on ios 4.3.2. Yesterday I got back to using it, and wanted to update to ios 7. I have learne that you can't update it to ios 7, but to ios 6. I can't seem to find how to update it. I've checkedin settings, and have been unable to find where you can update it.

    The option to update without the computer (Over the air) was made available with iOS 5. 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.

  • HT4623 How do I update my iOS on my iPad that has 5.1 ?  When I go to settings and update, it says everything is up to date as 5.1 iOS. :-(

    I need to update the iOS on my iPad.  There is no option under the settings, general section.

    A first generation iPad can't be updated past 5.1.1. Any device running an iOS version prior to 5.0 must be updated from iTunes on a computer, and if possible, the one it normally syncs with.

  • How do I update from ios 6 to ios 7?

    I have an iphone 5 running ios 6.0.1.  I want to update to ios 7, but the software update is only giving me the option to update to ios 8.3
    It's an old phone and I only want to be able to run ios 7 as most apps require 7.  Is ios 7 available to download anywhere?
    Thanks for any help!!!

    If you see a message that an app requires a later version of iOS, it is referring to the MINIMUM iOS version required. For example, if it says it requires iOS 7.0, then it will work on iOS 7 or any version after it. Just update to iOS 8.3.

  • HT4623 how do I update my iOS from 5.1.1 to 7.0

    Do I have to go to an app store and actually purchase the op sys upgrade?  I have a google tv device and it needs Ios 6.0 or newer to work.

    If you need a newer version of the ipad to access apps you need, you might look into selling your ipad 1. There are many ways you can do this. For example, gazelle.com will give $50.00 cash for any ipad 1 in good condition. Cashforyourmac.com will match that and right now has a holiday bonus of $25.00, so that's a $105.00. Sellyourmac.com will make a cash offer and you can counter it. Cashforyourmac.com will also meet it and give you the $25.00 holiday bonus. All have free shipping.
    You can then put that money toward a new ipad and if you don't want to spend the money on a new one you might want to consider the online only Apple certified refurbished store.It's probably the only place where you can buy a refurbished ipad where each comes with a new front and back cover, a brand new battery, and a full one year warranty including 90 days of phone support and free shipping. Ipad versions come and go on the site, so if you see what you want, buy it fast. If it's not there, be patient. Most will show up again.
    Please note there are many sites/ways to sell your ipad 1. Amazon and others will pay you with gift cards, but then you're restricted to using it on their sites. Too many seem to be sitting on ebay, etc., and you do not get warrantees, etc. in most cases. Some might have been stolen and new owners of them are stuck becasue someone's else's ID and info are on it, so it can't be restored. Google 'places/sites to sell your ipad 1'. There will be many.
    Hope this helps.
