Should I update my iPad to ios6

Well in the setting Iam confuse, should I update it and if I update it are all app that I install will deleted or unistall itself some how?

I'm waiting til 6.1 as well.
That said, I do have 6.0 on my Touch and it seems to be working okay.
BUt I've read too many posts with issues and I'm just not in the mood to fight it in case I'm one of those that has problems.
As to doing a backup. YES. always, always, always do a sync before you update the iOS. Then, if something does go wrong, you have the most recent backup to restore to.

  • HT201210 I attempted to update my IPAD to IOS6 and it failed, following this restore keeps failing with error stating recovery failed.  I am stuck.  I have reset several times and retried recovery mode only to get the same endless loop of trouble.  Please

    I tried to update my IPAD to IOS6 and it failed following this recover mode will not wortk either.  I have reset multiple times and tried recovery again only to get the same error stating that recovery failed.  The error states unknown recovery error.  My system OS is up to date with OS X 10.7.5.  Itunes is up to date with 10.7 (21).

    Try:
    - Powering off and then back on your router.
    - The Additional Information paragraph of
    iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
    - Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
    Public DNS — Google Developers
    OpenDNS IP Addresses
    - Try on another computer/network
    - Wait if it is an Apple problem

  • Trying to update my iPad to ios6.  Unsuccessfully.

    Trying to update my iPad to ios6.  I have the latest version of iTunes.  I plug in my iPad and look at summary and shows I need to update.  I click update.  Message pops up saying I haven't backed up some items off my iPad. Click continue or cancel.  I click continue.  It starts backing things up.  I look a few minutes later and it says sync complete.  I again click update.  Same message comes up.  I click continue.  It starts backing things up and freezes a while and then window showing the process of the backing up disappears and I back at the same screen needing to update.  Getting incredibly frustrated.  It's late, it's probably simple, but I can't seem to get anywhere.  Any ideas?

    Do you have a Wi-Fi network to update over wirelessly?

  • Why won't my HDMI output work after update my iPad to iOS6?

    After updating my iPad to iOS6 it won't play my videos on my tv via HDMI cable. The tv displays "invalid format" I don't know how to chnage the display settings on the iPad because maybe there are none. Is there some backdoor way to change the settings so maybe I can use my $40+ cables I bought?

    This is vatastrophic! I came to a congressional doctor meeting to give a lecture! It would't work!! Only iphone 4 projected muzzy picture and only on photo show!
    Are they crazy? Why did they fricked it up?
    Both were updated to iOs6!!!

  • HT201210 I've updated my iPad to iOS6. Now saying connect to iTunes, which is saying my iPad in recovery & to restore to factory settings & all media & data will be erased. I DO NOT WANT THIS TO HAPPEN. What can I do?

    I've update my iPad to iSO6. Now saying connect to iTunes, which is saying my iPad in recovery & to restore to factory stting & all media & data will be ereased. I DOT NOT WANT THIS TO HAPPEN. What can I do?

    You have no choice now. Unless you want a brick for an iPad. After you restore to factory settings you can restore from your backup ..... And you do backup don't you? I would never update the iOS software without backing up first. After you restore from the backup, sync with iTunes again and you should be OK. Assuming that you do sync with iTunes .....
    Read this for info on how to restore from the backup.

  • HT4623 I am trying to update my iPad to iOS6 but there is no update software option on the general screen

    I am trying to update my iPad to iOS 6 but there is no update software option under general settings..please help me. Also I can not get it to connect to wireless service at home but it will other places.

    Connect your iPad to iTune (computer) and Check for Updates. Backup before you proceed with update.

  • HT4623 Trying to update my iPad to IOS6

    When I go to update software it is telling me IOS5.1.1 Your software is up to date..... and I tried connecting to iTunes on my MacBook Pro and still can't get it to update.... can anyone help? Is it because this is first generation Ipad??
    Thanks

    If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.1. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.

    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).

  • After updating my iPad to iOS6 it will not receive email?

    I cannot receive email on my iPad after I installed the iOS6 update, any suggestions?

    Remove the email account from your iPad then add it back on. iPad settings, mail and accounts. Should clear up the issue.

  • HT201210 Unable to update my iPad to iOS6

    i cannot update to iOS6 and worst, I cannot open my iPad now. What should I do next?

  • I updated my iPad to iOS6 and the YouTube app is no longer there,  no restrictions have been set and I have checked them to make sure they haven't been. I can't get it back and have no idea where to find it or get it back on my iPad, anyone have an answer

    Just like the topic states........updated iPad, and lost the YouTube app, and no it's not because of restrictions cause I've checked......it's gone and I can't get it back, I've even hooked up to my computer and iTunes to see if I could get it back there also but no luck there either.  Any help would be appreciated

    youtube is no longer a built in app on ios6. Apple contract with google expired so youtube and google maps were removed. try the app store or youtube mobile website

  • Trying to update iphone & ipad to ios6; error says "software update server cannot be contacted, Check network settings." I'm online and not sure which settings it is refering to..

    is this a security firewall?  how do I allow the update and keep my system protected at the same time?

    Let's try the following document with that one.
    iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
    (If the "Automatically detect settings" checkbox is already checked, try unchecking and rechecking it and clicking OK.)

  • I've updated my IPAD to IOS6 but itunes will not recognize it

    I've also updated my itunes to 10.7
    When i connect my ipad it seems to reconigze it as my iphone4 which is ridiculous.
    I can't do anything with my ipad right now because it has 'plug it into itunes' sign but when i plug it in itunes won't recognize it at all.
    The computer recogizes the ipad.
    any suggestions on how to troubleshoot this?

    Siri is not compatible with the iPad 2.
