Can I update to IOS8 from ios5.1 on an ipad

I have an ipad that has ios5.1.1 software that tells me it is up to date without an option for upgrade. I would like to upgrade to ios6,7,or 8 because I'd like to get more apps. When I try to download even solitaire, a message pops up that I need to upgrade to ios6. How do I do it? Is that even possible with this ipad? Thanks for any help.

If your iPad is not iPad 1, you can try to update your iPad using iTunes:
Install the latest version of iTunes on your computer.
Plug in your device to your computer.
In iTunes, select your device.
In the Summary pane, click Check for Update.
Click Download and Update.
If you don't have enough free space to update using iTunes, you'll need to delete content manually from your device.

    I have taken it back to the Apple store genius bar, but they say they don't see anything wrong. Well unless you use it all day and experience the problems when they happen, you wont see anything wrong. But there are lots wrong with it. But this would be the same store as I purchased the phone. And they backed up my old Iphone 4, but were not able to get anything to load back onto my new phone. So, I lost pretty much everything. But over time, some of my contacts have started showing up, although i am still missing over 800 of them.

  • Unfortunately, I lost by an update all the apps on my iPad 2. Now I can not pull the data from the cloud to my iPad. How is this possible?

    If you just installed iCloud does that mean you updated the iOS that's running on your iPad?  If so, you'll want to restore all the programs you have from the backup you hopefully made.
    Refer to these articles for help.
    iTunes: Backing up, updating, and restoring iOS software.
    If you don't want to use iCloud, simply don't activate it.
    You can also download the programs again.
    If you live in a country that supports re-downloading apps then you can re-download them.  You can refer to this article for more help.

    my  ipod touch is 3rd gen how can i update my ios from 4.2.1 to 5.1.1 when i shift + restore and load the ipod3_5.1.1.ios its always say your firmware is not compatible

    I suspect you have a 2G iPod. Those can only go to iOS 4.2.1.
    Identifying iPod models
    iPod touch (3rd generation)
    iPod touch (3rd generation) features a 3.5-inch (diagonal) widescreen multi-touch display and 32 GB or 64 GB flash drive. You can browse the web with Safari and watch YouTube videos with Wi-Fi. You can also search, preview, and buy songs from the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store on iPod touch.
    The iPod touch (3rd generation) can be distinguished from iPod touch (2nd generation) by looking at the back of the device. In the text below the engraving, look for the model number. iPod touch (2nd generation) is model A1288, and iPod touch (3rd generation) is model A1318.

    You mean update your iPhone software? Yes, you can do that on any computer, but it REQUIRES an internet connection & yes the software needs to be downloaded unless already on the computer and the exact version for your model iPhone.

  • Oracle 11g database can we update patch directly from 11.2.0.3.0 to 11.2.0.4.0?

    Hi,
    I have installed Oracle 11g database.
    Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.2.0.3.0 - 64bit Production
    PL/SQL Release 11.2.0.3.0 - Production
    CORE 11.2.0.3.0 Production
    TNS for 64-bit Windows: Version 11.2.0.3.0 - Production
    NLSRTL Version 11.2.0.3.0 - Production
    I want to update the patch.
    Oracle 11g database can we update patch directly from 11.2.0.3.0 to 11.2.0.4.0?
    Is any impact on the database?
    Kindly suggest,
    Regards,
    Sachin

    11.2.0.4 is nothing but a patchset of 11.2.0.3, in-place upgrade is allowed :
    http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e23633/preup.htm#UPGRD12370
    "You cannot install the new software into the same location for Oracle home as your current release, unless you are installing an Oracle Database 11g patchset release. For a patchset release, you can use the same Oracle Database 11g Oracle home."
    And since it's a patchset, a direct upgrade is ok.
    Lastly, yes, every upgrade has an impact (e.g. perf.), it has to be tested.

  • Can we update the data from SSRS report to any database ?

    Hi Team,
    Greetings !!!!
    Can we update the data from SSRS report to any database ?
    Thanks,
    Anand Gavle.

    Nope SSRS doesnt have write back options. Its just a reporting tool
    However one thing you can do is to link a webpage from SSRS report and do the changes through it
    SSRS has the ability to navigate to web page through which you can capture any data inputs from users and save it to your db.

  • Unique data record means you can't  update a record from ECC with same key.

    Unique data record means you can't  update a record from ECC with same key fileds right?
    Details: For example i have two requests Req1 and Req2 in DSO with unique data record setting checked. on day one Req1 has a filed quantity with value 10 in Active data table. On day two Req1 can not be overwitten from ECC with Req2 with the same key fields but different value 20 in the filed quantity because of the Unique data record settings. finally the delta load fails from ECC going to DSO because of this setting. is it right?
    I think we can only use unique record setting going from DSO to cube right?
    Please give me a simple scenario in which we can use this setting.
    I already search the threads and will assign points only to valuable information.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Les,
    Unique Data Records:
    With the Unique Data Records indicator, you determine whether only unique data records are to be updated to the ODS object. This means that you cannot load a data record into the ODS object the key combination for which already exists in the system – otherwise a termination occurs. Only use this setting when you are sure that only unique data records are to be loaded into the ODS object (for example, single documents). A typical application of this is in the loading of mass data. It improves the load performance.
    Hope it Helps

  • Can't update daisy disk from Mac App Store

    Can't update daisy disk from Mac App Store!! What can i do? AppStore wrote You must login in to @@@@mail, but I login to my account!

    You must sign in to the App Store with the Apple ID you used to install the app. If you don't recognize the ID, see below.
    You installed a hacked app, originally from the Mac App Store. It contains the receipt for a different app, downloaded using an account that you don't control. You need to identify and remove the hacked app.
    Important: The app you need to remove is not necessarily the one named in the App Store notice. For example, if the App Store says you need to update "Twitter," the hacked app may be "Angry Birds" or something else entirely. Don't make any assumptions about which app you're looking for. To find it, you have to carry out a systematic search.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:
    kMDItemAppStoreHasReceipt=1
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C).
    In the Finder, press the key combination command-F to open a search window, or select
    File ▹ Find
    from the menu bar. In the search window, select
    Search: This Mac
    from the row of tokens below the toolbar. Below that is a popup menu initially showing Kind. From that menu, select  Other...
    A sheet will drop down. In that sheet, select Raw Query and click OK or press return.
    Now there will be a text box to the right of popup menu. Click in that box and paste (command-V).
    The search window will show all the App Store products you've installed. Compare those search results with the list of your purchases from the App Store. To see the complete list, you may need to unhide hidden purchases. If any apps were download from the App Store using other Apple ID accounts that you control, sign in to the store under each of those ID's and check the purchases.
    At least one of the items listed in the search window is not among your purchases in the App Store. Move each such item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator password. Empty the Trash.
    Log out and log back in. Test.

  • I can't upgrade my iphone4 from iOS5.01 to iOS5.1, tried many times, always showed "unknown error 1602", what should I do?

    I can't upgrade my iphone4 from iOS5.01 to iOS5.1, tried many times, always showed "unknown error 1602", what should I do?

    Error 1600, 1601, 1602: Try the following steps to resolve this error: 
    Ensure proper USB isolation troubleshooting has been performed, and test with a known-good cable.
    Follow the steps listed for Error 1604.
    This error may be resolved by disabling, deactivating, or uninstalling third-party security, antivirus, and firewall software. See steps in this article for details on troubleshooting security software.
    Error 1604: This error is often related to USB timing. Try changing USB ports, uninstalling and reinstalling USB ports, and other available USB troubleshooting steps (troubleshooting USB connections, device not recognized properly, computer won't recognize a FireWire or USB device). If you are using a dock, bypass it and connect directly to the white Apple USB dock connector cable. If the issue persists on a known-good computer, the device may need service. 
    If the issue is not resolved by USB isolation troubleshooting, and another computer is not available, try these steps to resolve the issue:
    Connect the device to iTunes, confirm that the device is in Recovery Mode. If it's not in Recovery Mode, put it into Recovery Mode.
    Restore and wait for error 1604.
    When prompted, click OK.
    Close and reopen iTunes while iPhone remains connected.
    iPhone should now be recognized in Recovery Mode again.
    Try to restore again.
    If the steps above do not resolve the issue, try restoring using a known-good USB cable, computer, and network connection.

  • Can I update to yosemite from 10.6.8

    Can I update to yosemite from 10.6.8, or do I need to order Lion or Mountain Lion first?
    I thought I could just upgrade but when I select UPGRADE, I get messages like: "Safari can't open the specified address"

    Well yes, however you do not give enough information. Technically all you need is 10.6.8, but there is more to the equation.

  • How can I transmit PDF files from my Mac to my iPad, How can I transmit PDF files from my Mac to my iPad

    How can I transmit PDF files from my Mac to my iPad, How can I transmit PDF files from my Mac to my iPad

    Yes you can definitely do this. You'll need an app on the iPad that handles PDF viewing and editing. There are many around - two of the best I've seen are GoodReader and PDF Expert.
    In iTunes when you iPad is connected to your PC, go to the Apps tab and scroll down and you'll see the File Sharing section. You can drag files to there to share them to your iPad.
    You could also look at online file sync services like PDF to ePub Maker if you prefer not to have to connect your iPad to a PC
