Can I download ios5 by wifi on my ipad2

Friend having trouble updating ipad2. Has latest version of iTunes continues to get download error. Can we just download ipad2 updates via wifi?

No, you cannot do that with the previous versions of the iOS. Try downloading the iOS 5 file (get the correct file for the iPad) directly to the computer without iTunes.

After the file is on the computer, i the iTunes app on the computer press & hold the Opt/Alt button and click Check for Update. Browse to the files location on your compter and select it. Itunes will do the rest.

  • How can I download ios5 I don't have a computer

    I don't have a pc how can I download ios5 onto my iPad 2

    First off, you should post your question in the proper forum section.  This section is for discussion about the Thunderbolt displays, not iPads.
    but to answer your question, you can't.  Since you are currently running version 4.3.3, it doesn't have the over-the-air software update feature.  That feature came out with version 5.0.1.  You will need to use a computer (or use a friend's computer or take it into the Apple Store) to update the iPad.  Once you have updated it to iOS 5, then you will be able to get future updates without a computer.

  • How can I download iOS5  for my iPAD2?

    I can´t download ios5, it says, open itunes and follow instructions???

    You need to connect your iPad to your computer and update the software in iTunes.  Make sure you have the latest version of iTunes and your iPad should be recognized when connected and it should let you know there is a newer version of iOS available for download.  Going to iOS 5.0.1 is a lengthy process.  Make sure you have turned off any Firewall/Anti-Virus software before starting the process.

  • I can't download Itunes 5 and consequently can't download IOS5

    I can't download Itunes 5 and consquently can't download IOS5.

    Yes I assume so, I was just wondering if anyone could enlighten me as to how. I'm running version 10.6.8 on a macbook, as far as I can see there's no reason why it wouldn't work.
    What happens is when I connect iPhone 3GS it alerts me that the iOS5 software is available, but that itunes 10.5 needs to be downloaded first. I click through to start the download for itunes, then it runs software update, which says that my software is up to date, and that's as far as I seem to be able to go. The version of itunes that I am currently running is 10.2.1, and because I can't update itunes, I can't get the ios5 software. No error messages or anything else, just says my software is up to date, when it isn't.
    Any thoughts/help much appreciated!

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    To begin with, I would like to try to explain Apple's confusing nomenclature in regard to iCloud.
    Apple have called the whole cloud thing iCloud, there are a number of features under the iCloud umbrella, some of which require their own login. iTunes is one of these, another is what Apple have unfortunately also called iCloud too.
    You can use the same Apple ID (account) to login to both iCloud and iTunes, but you don't need to and often users will login to each service using a different ID.
    The part that you need to remember is that the services available when you log into iCloud are completely different and unrelated to those when you log in to iTunes. Your iCloud login enables mail, contacts, calendars, find my phone, Back to My Mac, Documents & Data sharing and photostream, it does not affect any of your iTunes services.
    To avoid confusion when discussing your problem, when I mention iCloud, I am referring to the services under the iCloud login, Whereas I will refer to the whole cloud thing as The Cloud.
    Whilst you want seperate accounts, I assume this is to keep your contacts etc seperate, you can still both use the same iTunes account, which will allow you to share your music etc.

  • My ipad and itunes account is registered in the UK - can I download movies on wifi in the US from itunes?

    my ipad and itunes account is registered in the UK - can I download movies on wifi in the US from itunes?

    You can only buy from the UK iTunes Store, and per the Terms of Use for the UK Store, you agree not to attempt to use it from outside of the UK. Apple may take technological steps to prevent such use, though I've never seen any reliable indication that they do so.

  • Can't download anything bigger than 20MB on iPad2 3G.

    How can you access apps, podcasts, iview etc if you can't download anything bigger than 20MB? It doesn't make sense!

    You can still download via WiFi and/or via iTunes and then sync with the iPad. I don't have a 3G version, I have WiFi only - but to me - the obvious advantage with the 3G device is that you don't have to worry about having a wireless connection since you "take your Internet connection" with you no matter where you go.
    I have MIFI hotspot, and I use it from time to time, but your iPad "just works" wherever you are - in theory anyway - and as long as you have a data plan. You don't have to lug an extra device that relies on battery power and could run out of juice (and it will) before the iPad does.

  • Why am i not able to download apps through the 4g network i can only download stuff through wifi onlyy

    i cannot download updates or stuff through the play store except when in wifi. i always get an error 495. what does that mean and how do i fix it it. what is the point of having data and the android market if you can download anything unless you are in a place that has wifi.  i would like to be able to download stuff through the network but it just wont let me. i always get errors after it tries downloading after a few minutes. how do you fix that.

        Hi there Akorns35!
    I want you to update your apps where ever your heart desires! I will be delighted to help.
    This is generally a setting. Turn it off by following these steps:
    Open Google Play > Choose Menu > Settings > Tap "Update over Wi-Fi only" and turn that off!
    Keep us posted!

  • I can't download ios5 pls help

    Hi!! it's alrealdy some time since the IOS5 came out, but still i cannot dowload it, every time it's on about 500MB it just stops and appears an error due connection issues and it says that the time exceeded or something else, but the internet is not the problem, i don't know what else i can do!!!

    Even a cursory search of this forum would have led you to the following:  disable all antivirus software and disable firewalls.

    It sounds like you actually have a 2G iPod touch, which can only be updated as high as iOS 4.2.1.  See this article to help you identify what model and generation your iPod is.

  • I can't download ios5

    I'm getting a message that the network connections timed out.  My internet is fine.  I've turned off anti-virus & anti-malware and it still doesn't work.  Please help.

    Instead of turning off your AV and anti-malware software, I suggest you uninstall it.
    Most of that junk simply causes problems rather then helping.
    I would be curious to know what you run for anti-malware. So far most of that is even worst then AV software at causing problems.
