You can restore the device within iTunes on your computer. This article will describe the process for you.

HT4623 Hi I have an Ipad 2 and itunes needs to be updated but, in settings / General there is not sign saying software where do I go from there. help?

I need help with the settings, General to update my itunes, but there is no word saying software, for me to start the process. Also, need help syncing my music to my Ipad. help?

That option only appears when you have iOS 5+ installed, if you are on iOS 4 then you will need to do the update via your computer's iTunes.
Connect the iPad to your computer's iTunes and copy any purchases off it via File > Transfer Purchases (you may also want to copy photos off the iPad as well) and then force a backup of the iPad by right-clicking the iPad 'Device' on the left-hand side of iTunes and selecting 'Backup'. You may also want to copy off the iPad any important documents, notes, files etc 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 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.

For syncing music to the iPad's Music app, select the iPad on the left-hand side of your computer's iTunes, and then use the Music tab on the right-hand side of iTunes to select which of your music to sync to it.

I have 574 emails in my Oulook mailbox on iPad iO7, but when I open the inbox, there is no mail. I originally had over 900 emails but managed to delete most.I really would like to delete all of them, but have to find them first. Where are they? Help!

I originally had over 900 unread emails on my ipad because I had been using my PC for all emails for quite some time. Meantime, because the two are synced, over 900 had been accruing on my ipad. I managed to delete and send to trash all but the 574. These 574 are showing in my inbox, but when I go to the inbox, there is no mail. How do I remedy this problem?

No I copied someone elses post to see if someone could explain which registry keys they copied because mimicking it might fix my problem. I am desperate to fix the problem to get my backup going.The person does not detail which keys. If it were me I would
elaborate so someone else who sees the post might have a better chance of fixing their issue.
Unfortunately I cannot find the original software or would have attempted a reinstall by now.
This was handed off to me by someone who is no longer working for the campany so the only information I have is what i can figure out.

I have a camera kit for my ipad 1 but when i put sd card does not recognize anything, do I need an app? thanks for your help

I have camera kit but unable to use with sd card from my digital camera. Anytime I plug it in nothing happens. Do I need an app? thanks for your help

I have the same issue also...Kind of regretting upgrading to ios5... my CKK for my sd card no longer brings the pictures into the Ipad 2 ..It just gets a camera Show on the top but no piks coming across or showing to import into the IPAD...I thought that the Sd card was shot or the CKK had dirt on the connectors...
Also no more lyrics show in the Music App....

I am trying to install garage band onto my ipad but it says i need to be in ios7. but when i go to update my system it says I am upd to date (with ios 5). What do I do??

Download the current GarageBand version to a computer's iTunes library, go to the device, sign into the iTunes App Store with the Apple ID used to do that, and try downloading it from the list of previous purchases. If that doesn't work and you don't already have a copy of a compatible version, you can't.

When I go to settings > general, there is no prompt for "software update." how can I update my iPad?

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.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4972
Also read the instructions from the section entitled "Update your device using iTunes" at the link below.

how can i get ios 7 in my ipad 2? i have tried to update it but in my setting>general there is no icon for software update.so help me please!

If you are using iOS 4 (or earlier) there is no Software Update in Settings. That feature was first added in iOS 5.
To update you will have to connect your iPad to iTunes on a computer (preferably the one you sync with and backup to).

HT4972 Why I can't update my iPad to the iOS 7.0 when I go to general there's no section for update

Why I can't update my iPad to the iOS 7.0 when I go to general there's no section for update.please help

If you have an iPad 1G you cannot run iOS 7. If you are currently using iOS 4.x.x then you cannot upgrade OTA. Instead do this:
Give this a try:
Download Apple – iTunes 11.1. Connect your device to your computer and open iTunes. Select your device under the Devices heading in the iTunes' sidebar. Click on the Summary tab in iTunes' main window. Click on the Update button.

"Do I need to do this another way?"
Yes.
Updating from the iphone itself is ONLY available with ios 5 and above..
You update as always by opening itunes and connect the iphone. If there is an update available it will prompt you to update.
Your can ONLY updtae to the latest available software which is ios 6

I am trying to update my ipad 2 but it keeps telling me that it isn't eligible for the requested build how can i fix this problem

This device is not eligible for the requested build (Also sometimes displayed as an "error 3194")
Update to the latest version of iTunes.
Third-party security software or router security settings can also cause this issue. To resolve this, followTroubleshooting security software issues.
Downgrading to a previous version of iOS is not supported. If you have installed software to perform unauthorized modifications to your iOS device, that software may have redirected connections to the update server (gs.apple.com) within the Hosts file. Uninstall the unauthorized modification software from the computer.
Edit out the "gs.apple.com" redirect from your hosts file, and then restart the computer for the host file changes to take affect. For steps to edit the Hosts file and allow iTunes to communicate with the update server, see iTunes: Troubleshooting iTunes Store on your computer, iPhone, iPad, or iPod—follow steps under the heading Blocked by configuration (Mac OS X / Windows) > Rebuild network information > The hosts file may also be blocking the iTunes Store. If you do not uninstall the unauthorized modification software prior to editing the hosts file, that software may automatically modify the hosts file again on restart.
Avoid using an older or modified .ipsw file. Try moving the current .ipsw file (see Advanced Steps > Rename, move, or delete the iOS software file (.ipsw) below for file locations), or try restoring in a new user to ensure that iTunes downloads a new .ipsw.

HT1338 My iTunes won't let me connect my iPhone because it says I need an updated iTunes, but when I try to download the new iTunes, it says that my Mac software (10.5.8) is too old. However, there are no software updates available. What can I do?

It depends on what iPhone you have.
If it's an iPhone 4S or earlier, click here.
If it's an iPhone 5, you need to buy a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD, and that requires an Intel Mac with at least 1GB RAM.
