Ipad won't upgrade to iOS 5

I cannot upgrade my ipad to ios5, even though i tried restarting and restoring it from scratch
itunes keeps telling me my current version 4.2 is the correct one

Have you got iTunes 10.5 on your computer as that is needed for the update to download ?
If 10.5 doesn't prompt you to download the update, and the Check For Updates doesn't detect it, then you could try downloading the update outside of iTunes and the pressing and holding the shift key on Windows, command key on Mac, when clicking the Check Foe Updates button which should let you navigate to the downloaded file :

How do I fix my iPad if it won't upgrade to iOS 5? I have iTunes on here and every thing else I need what do I do?

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.

Also read the instructions from the section entitled "Update your device using iTunes" at the link below.

Why my iPad do not upgrade over iOS 5.1.1??

WHy my iPad do not upgrade over iOS 5.1.1

If it's the first generation iPad (i.e. the only without cameras) then it doesn't support anything higher than iOS 5.1.1 - it doesn't have the processor nor the RAM (it only has 256 meg RAM ; the iPad 2 and first iPad Mini have 512 meg ; other iPads have 1024 meg) to cope with anything higher

Wifi problems on iPad 2 after upgrading to iOS 5.1.1

I upgraded my iPad to iOS 5.1.1 last night. Ever since then, it keeps losing the wifi connection. My laptop, ipod and iphone are not losing any connectivity with the wifi, nor has this been a problem with the iPad prior to upgrading the iOS.
Has anyone else had this problem

Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Change the channel on your wireless router. Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

How do I restore events in iPhoto on my phone and iPad after I upgraded to iOS 7

How do I restore/find "events" in iPhoto on my iPhone and iPad after I upgraded to iOS 7?

You deleted the iCloud account?
If so, connect the iPhone to your computer and sync your Contacts and Photos using iTunes.

i tried to fix screen rotation on my ipad 2 after upgrading to ios 7. did the lock / unlock button, the on/off and even reset to factory settings... nothing works... do not know what to do... any suggestions?

When you reset to factory settings, did you restore as new or did you restore from a backup? If you restored from a backup, you could try restoring as new and don't use the backup. If you do that, you will lose all of your data, but you can download or sync all of your content back to the iPad.
You could also try resetting all settings before your restore as new. Settings>General>Reset>Reset all settings. You will have to re enter all device settings again.
And of course the possibility does exist that the iPad has developed a hardware problem that is causing the rotation issue and only a visit to an Apple Store could determine that for sure.

HT4972 can ipad (not ipad 2) be upgraded to iOS 5?

can ipad (not ipad 2) be upgraded to ios 5? I have tried but it does not seem to work. However, when I opened ibooks on my ipad, it automatically asked if I wanted to upgrade to ios 5. The choices were either yes or cancel. I touched yes. Whenever I try to download an ibook, I get a message that it requires ios 5 to download book. And, my former downloaded ibooks are gone.

Plug your pad 1 into your computer running the current version of I tunes, then select software upgrade. It will move your pad to its 5.1.
Make sure you transfer purchases, upload photos and make a copy of any important documents and spreadsheets in case something goes wonky.

My iPad mini won't upgraded to iOs 8.2

Hi there,
I have an iPad mini with retina display for almost a year. Since last month, i couldn't upgrade my iOs on my iPad to the latest one. I have tried to upgrade it through iTunes but it always say there is something wrong with your connection. My wifi at home always perfect and i also have enough space (2,8gb) to upgrade into iOs 8.2 which required 2gb space of memory.
Is there anyone can advise me what should i do?
Many thanks in advance!

Hi Brett L,
Thank you for your reply, really appreciated and can't wait to give it a try. Unfortunately I'm having problem in updating my software on my MacBook Air.
I have tried to update it on mac terminal but it kept loading and never get to the end. Apple store also does the same, keep loading but never allow me to actually update my software.
Do you have any idea how I can solve this problem?
My thanks in advance!

Cannot play video on ipad 2 since upgrade to ios 6

Cannot play any video since upgrade to ios 6 on ipad 2! Anyone else having this problem?

Yes! Immediately after upgrading our iPhones and iPads to iOS6, they lost the capability to play back CCTV camera streams both on network and 3/4G. Our customers are experiening this issue as well.
I held back from upgrading one of my iPads and all is normal with it.
I am a Savant AV dealer and this is quite troubling especially since the issue has very little buzz.
Has anyone heard from Apple regarding a fix?
Thanks,
Phil

Will an iPad 2 be upgradable to iOS 8?

I have an iPad first gen that only was upgradable to iOS 5.11. I am thinking about getting a refurbished 2nd Gen. Will that be upgradable to iOS 8 when it comes out this Fall, or should I look for a newer refurb gen like a 3rd or Air?

Why, oh why did I update my iPad 2 to the iOS 8 software update? I have an iPad 2 32 gig with the cellular data option and it has not acted right since the update. The iPad freezes constantly, apps freeze while in use and when closing them down. (Yes, I updated all my apps before I installed the iOS 8 software update.) The Safari web browser seems to be constantly in motion. When I want to scroll down a webpage, it will scroll up the page, my webpages freeze all the time. I was one of those who couldn't get on the Internet because my iPad would not connect to Wi-Fi but the iOS 8.0.2 seem to have fixed that issue. But the iOS 8.0.2 update did not fix the freezing apps, the freezing screen or fix the freezing when turning on the iPad from a turned off state. I hardly ever use my computer since I bought my iPad. Now there seems to be so many issues with the iPad 2 and the iOS 8 update that I fear my iPad 2 will become a brick. Apple please fix these issues because I love my iPad and cannot afford to purchase another one.

You Tube App Missing on iPad 2 After Upgrade to iOS 5

I have an iPad 2 that I purchased from a US Apple store in May 2011. After upgrading to iOS 5 the You Tube app is missing. How can I reinstall it?

That is one of the standard apps that is not deletable. So it is probably there somewhere.
Check setting, general, restrictions, and make sure you didnt turn that on by accident.
Then goto the searchlight screen, and type in you tube, and if the app is on the pad, it will find it.
If restrictions are not on, and if searchlight does not find the app, do a full reboot,
If still no joy, do a restore from backup.
But check restrictions first.

IPad 1 not upgrading to iOS 6

Why isn't the original iPad not being updated to ios 6

No it wasn't that. It was the lack of a camera. No devices without camera were allowed by Apple to update to ios 6. This included the ipad 1st gen and the ipod touch 1st, 2nd and 3rd gen. In case some of you wondered, that's why the iphone 3GS still got the ios 6 update despite having an older processor than the ipad 1 and the same 256 MB in RAM as the ipad 1: the 3GS had a back camera.
As for ios 7, the RAM and processor were indeed a requirement. No devices with less than 512 MB RAM were allowed to get ios 7. This included all iphones up to the 3GS, all ipod touch generations except the latest, and the ipad 1st gen.

Anyone know how to fix this? Thanks
