Can I upgrade my iPad 2 16gb to IOS 8

I want to upgrade my iPad 2 to IOS8 I can't afford to upgrade to a new iPad at the moment. But I have upgraded my iPhone to the iPhone 6.
I've tried manually deleting apps etc to free up enough space but I can't seem to free up enough space. If I was to perform a factory reset on my iPad would this free up enough space so that I could upgrade the IOS
Be grateful for any advice. help, thoughts on this one
Cheers

If you erase all your data from the device, it should; alternatively, you can update it from iTunes on a computer.

I can't upgrade my iPad 2 software from iOS 5.0.1 to iOS 5.1

Hi I wonder if anyone of you could help. I have an iPad 2 running iOS 5.0.1 and can't upgrade to iOS 5.1. The problem I am having is when I check for an update on my iPad it takes ages and then I get a message saying that it was unable to check for an update. Then when I tried to update it via my Mac its cant get passed the "contacting the iPad software update server..." had this message for half an hour now. I am assuming that apples servers are really full with everybody trying to update their iOS device. Is this the logical expenation and is anyone else having simular issues?
Thank You,
Richard Bray

After a few tries on Thursday, March 8, I was able to update my iPhone 4 to iOS 5.1 using iTunes on my PC. However, when I next tried to update my iPad, I had the same error response about not being able to contact the update server.
After disconnecting all my USB devices and rebooting the PC several times, I gave up. Tried again on Saturday, March 10, and was finally able connect after several more unsuccessful attempts. Don't know if it was really necessary, but after I turned off both my Norton Smart Firewall and Anti-Virus Autoprotect, I finally got a connection.
I remember having similar hassles downloading iCloud and getting it working with the Apple mail servers.
I wish Apple could communicate better when the servers are jammed. The web page I was sent to when I clicked "More Information" in the window notifying me that the server connection failed, doesn't mention the possibility that the servers are jammed and we should just wait a few days and try again.

If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.1.3. 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).
Tip 2 - If you're updating via wifi, place your iPad close to your router to preclude getting a corrupted download.

I upgraded my iPad (3rd gen) to iOS 7. When I go to iTunes and look at the summary and to the "Apps" list tab, iTunes stops working and shuts down. What can I do? I am using a Windows 7 machine.

Hi thanks for the encouragement. It's not that the severs are "swamped", iOS 7 has been successfully installed.
I can't access the apps list in iTunes because it *****
down. Its pretty frustrating because many of my apps require me to manually transfer files into iTunes first to view
them. Not sure if the servers being swamped is an issue for me, unless they release a bug fix through another version of iTunes.
Has anyone else had this problem? My iPad is pretty useless unless I can access my app list in iTunes....

Since I can't upgrade my iPad 1 to iOS 6, is it now vulnerable to security threats?

Since I can't upgrade my iPad 1 to iOS 6, is it now vulnerable to security threats?

According to my brief search on the support site, there is some discussion on this very topic. No operating system is completely secure!! Read http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5503 for iOS 6 security content. Since Apple does not want to provide support for the iPad 1, I have now stopped doing anything online that requires a password or other sensitive data. No more new apps or upgrades to my present apps. It has gone from a fantastic piece of technology to a toy in two years.

If it's happening on all the apps that you've downloaded from the App Store, but not the Apple built-in ones, then try downloading any free app from the store (as that appears to reset something) and then re-try them - the free app can then be deleted.
If it's happening on all apps including Apple's then try closing them all via the taskbar and then see if they work when you re-open them : from the home screen (i.e. not with any app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of each app to close them, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
If that doesn't work then you could try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

HT4623 Why I can't update my iPad 2 to the iOS 7

Why I can't update my iPad 2 to the iOS 7

Are you trying to update OTA (over the air) on the iPad itself? To do so, you need to have iOS 5.x or above installed. The OTA update feature was added with this version. If you are running below iOS 5.x, you need to use your PC to update the iPad to the newest iOS 7.
Check your iOS version: Settings>General>About
The number displayed under "Version" is your current iOS version.

You probably have a 2G iPod and those can only go to 4.2.1. If 8 or 16 GB it is a 2G. A 32 GB can be either . To identify yours:

You say you have iOS 7. If you are a developer you have access to the private OS 7 developer's forum
iOS 7 Developer forum- Apple Developer
Otherwise you are on your own
