iOS: How to update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect to your computer & click on the "Update your device using iTunes".
iPad Tip - 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 to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).

  • I have an Ipad and Iphone but I don't have an Airprint, only a WIFI printer,my question is if I connect the wifi printer to Airport express, can I print from Ipad and Iphone ?

    I have an Ipad and Iphone but I don't have an Airprint at home but only a WIFI printer, my question is if I connect the wifi printer to Airport express, can I print from Ipad and Iphone ? Please help me if anyone knows about this.

    Unfortunately, connecting a non-AirPrint-enabled printer to an AirPort base station's USB port will not make it AirPrint-ready.
    You will need to use another solution, like Printopia, to be able to print to this printer from an iOS device.

  • I really want to make an app, but I don't have the engineering software. What do I do to get my app created. Is there a person that I tell to make it?

    Please help me!

    There are developers who will take on custom development. Such custom development is usually very expensive unless you can find a developer willing to go into partnership with you for a share of the profits. Search the web for something like "custom iOS development", or find an app whose design and development you admire and contact the developer.

  • When I try to send email from my iPad and iphone it says that I have the incorrect username and/or password, but I know they are correct, can someone help me?

    When I try to send email from my iPad and iPhone it says that I have the wrong username and/or password, but I know they are correct.  Can someone help me?

    "Your email account" means to tap on the name of your email account. Whatever it is listed as in the settings.
    In my mail settings, one of my email accounts is a Comcast account. I tap on the Comcast name and it brings up this window.
    Then I tap on the arrow under the Outgoing mail server smtp setting to get to the next window.
    In the resulting window, I then tap on the arrow next to the smtp server under the Primary Server setting.
    That brings up this window in which I check to make sure that my user name and password have been entered correctly. If those items are missing, enter them in the appropriate fields and then tap done.

    Hi beckiewinter!
    I have some information for you that may help you understand your iPhone's Activation Lock more thoroughly:
    iCloud: Find My iPhone Activation Lock in iOS 7
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5818
    So in order to update your iPhone, you may need to turn off Find My iPhone. This can be done through the iCloud settings, and more information on those settings can be found right here:
    iCloud - iPhone User Guide

    Hi I've been wanting to reset my security questions but I don't have a rescue email address what should I do?

    HI,
    Get a secondary email from a service like Google or Yahoo  (something that is not going to disappear like an ISP one might if you change services).
    Add it to the Apple ID page.

  • I want to reset my mac to sell but i don't have the original cd how do i do it?

    i want to reset my mac to sell but i don't have the original cd how do i do it?

    Only manually.
    Create a new Admin user, then boot into that user.
    Then delete your user.
    Then you need to uninstall or delete any software programs that did not come stander with your computer, or that you are not selling the disk with it.

  • I recently bought a used I phone5s and I want to download apps but I don't have the old owners password what can I do to change it?

    I recently got a used iPhone 5 s I want to download apps but I don't have the old password to do it what can I do?

    If the phone is Activation Locked the phone is useless to you. There is no way around Apple's antitheft feature. To check this go to Settings/iCloud and turn off Find my iPhone. If it asks for a passcode for an Apple ID that is not yours it is still Activation Locked, and there is a high probability it is stolen.

  • I forgot my admin password and i don't have the cd any more what should i do?

    like i already said in the question!

    What 'softwater' said implies if you have Mountain Lion or Lion (10.8 or 10.7)
    'softwater' is absolutely correct but if you have Snow Leopard (10.6), you can follow these steps to reset the password :
    If you have lost a password to an OS X user account on your Apple Macintosh, this will help you reset it. This guide works for all apple computers including but not limited to MacBook, MacBook Pro, iMac, Mac Mini, Mac Pro, and MacBook Air.
    Start by having your computer shut off.Power it on, and hold Command (Apple Button) + S at the same time.
    Soon you’ll see the computer booting up with lots of lines of code scrolling by. When it comes to a rest, type the following./sbin/fsck -y/sbin/mount -uaw
    Now we’ll get a list of the users on the computer based on their home directory. Type:
    cd /Users/
    ls
    When you see the folder name (99% of the time this will usually match the user on the system, unless you’ve renamed the account afterwords) of the user you want to reset, type the passwd command. Assuming that my account name was john, I’d type the following:
    passwd john
    Substitute john for the username you wish to reset.You’ll now be prompted to enter a new password for john twice. Once to enter it, the second time to confirm.
    After this is done, type:
    reboot
    You can now login to that user account with the new password.

  • Hi, I upgraded to iOS 7 on both my 4s and iPad.. But I don't have the flash symbol to turn the flash on when taking night photos. Can someone advise me please? Thanks.

    I recently upgraded both my 4s and iPad to to new iOS 7. Now when I use either camera I can't take night photos. I did look into other forums and one said that there is a lightning bolt in the pure left hand side of the 4s...not on mine!
    Can someone advise what I can do? Thank you.

  • HT1212 i want to backup my videos and pictures but my phone main screen does not work anymore, what should i do?

    i dont know what to do can anyone help me my phone fell the other day and the screen went black i cant see anything. my new iphone came in today and i never backed up my videos and pictures from my old phone. Is it even possible to back up my media (pics and videos) onto the computer so i can transfer onto my new phone?

    Yeah, you are kind of in a Catch-22 now. If you can't put in your lock screen passcode, then you could try to follow the same steps you would follow if you had put it in too many times:
    iOS: Device Disabled
    However, not sure if that would allow you to get around the lock screen passcode, and if it wouldn't, then you would have to place it in Recovery mode, which erases it....
    Just curious, though - when you hook it up to your computer, are you not able to execute the instructions for importing your photos and videos in the first link I posted?
    Also, you always can start your new phone set up and click on "Restore from iCloud Backup to see if you have a recent iCloud backup you can set up your new phone with. If it is a recent one, then it should have your pictures and videos:
    RESTORE FROM ICLOUD BACKUP
    Best of luck!

  • I changed my apple ID successfully online on my iPad and iPhone but when I wish to buy an app, the old ID comes up automatically and there seems to be nothing I can do, so I cannot update or buy any apps.

    Welcome to the Apple Community..
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
    Providing you are simply updating your existing details and not changing to another account, when you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your computer, you need to sign out of the account from your computer first, then sign back in using your updated details. (System Preferences > iCloud, click the sign out button)
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iTunes account on your iOS device, you need to sign out from your iOS device first, then sign back in using your updated details. (Settings > iTunes & App store, scroll down and tap your ID)
    If you are using iMessages or FaceTime, you will also need to log out and into your ID there too.

    This may sound crazy, but download any free app.  This often "shocks" the other apps into working.
