  • I was trying to update my ipad operating system and I thought it was done but when I unplugged it from my computer the ipad has the apple logo and a long hollow oval under the logo and I can't get anything to work.  Any suggestions?

    I was trying to update my ipad operating system and I thought it was done.  When I disconnected it from my computer the ipad went blank then the apple logo appeared midscreen with an elongated oval across the screen under it.  Now nothing on the ipad works.  I think it was backed up on my computer but I can't find anything that will allow me to sync the two or regain functionality on my ipad.  Any suggestions?

    Hi,
    I would put the ipad in recovery mode and redo the update, once that is done you could restore the ipad from your backup and you would not lose any data.

  • How do I transfer purchased apps back from my compuer onto my IPAD?  I have transferred my purchased apps to my computer, then updated my IPAD operating system, which erased my IPAD.  I can't get my purchased apps from my computer back onto IPAD.

    I have transferred my purchased apps to my computer, then updated my IPAD operating system as directed.  This erased all my apps from my IPAD.  How do I get my apps from my computer back onto the IPAD.  Simple syncing does not seem to work.  I also have another IPAD synced with this computer, if that matters.

  • Can I restore previous ipad operating system

    No.  Downgrading is not supported by Apple.

    The normal suggestions.
    Close the app,off fully.  Double tap the home screen then touch and hold any of the icons on the task bar until they jiggle, then close them all off by touching the - sign.
    Then reboot the pad and try the spp again.  If same issue, delete the app, then reload it.  ( no charge). You may just have a bad copy.  If continues, write to the developer, they may need to do an update.  I have an older version of the same app and it works fine.
    Since yours is the ad supported version, they are maing real sure you see the ad.  Is it as simple as you need to click thru the ad to get to the game?

  • I have an original Ipad, I tired to update it, but during the update it gave me an error message (1602) an now it just has a picture of itunes and a ubs cord?  Please help!!

    I have an original Ipad, I tired to update it, but during the update it gave me an error message (1602) an now it just has a picture of itunes and a ubs cord?  Please help!!

    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

  • Can't load operating system

    So I decided to dive into the land of windows and boot camp today to test gaming performance.
    After the Macbook Air creates the operating system usb drive and partions the disc, the computer automatically reboots (persumably to open in windows installer) ecept all I get is a black screen of death that reads Error can't load operating system.
    any suggestions? I've spent a considerable time in goolgle looking for people with similar issues but everyone else seems to only have troubles after they get it installed.
    On a side note, I did install Parallels 7 and successfully got windows 7 running off the same usb drive that BCA created, but I'm under the understanding that BCA is the windows method of choice for gamers and the like.

    May you help me to understand these errors
    First it says  " Not enough Space in Runtime area!!. SMBIOS data will not be available. Press F1 to Resume
    When I press F1 it starts loading but then it brings a blue screen with a message " The BIOS in this system is not fully ACPI compliant, please contact Vender for an Updated BIOS.
    I have only one partition and no External storage on the machine. I even took this machine to HP centre here in Zambia but they could not sort out the problem. Does this mean this PC will never work?

  • Can original iPad hook up with the latest version of Apple TV?

    Can original iPad hook up with the latest version of Apple TV?

    I haven't actually seen any specifications on the data rates applicable to AirPlay, however I feel that 20 Mb per second would likely be ample to cover a scenario where the iPad is receiving a stream from the Internet and sending it at the same time by mirroring to the Apple TV. Please be aware that this is my opinion, it is not necessarily fact.

  • Can original iPad connect to tv?

    Can original iPad connect to tv?

    Yes.  But the TV will only show videos and the output from several other specific programs.  It cannot be used to mirror the display of the iPad in normal use.

  • Issue updating iPad operating system

    I have been trying to update the operating system on my ipad but each time i do it crashes at the last stage, can anyone help?
    It says the connection is timing out once it is 1% from complete!

    If you are having problems downloading the iPad iOS update and you're getting a network timeout message, then have you tried temporarily turning off your firewall and antivirus software whilst the download is happening ? A number of people on here have been able to download successfully after doing so.

  • HT4972 Updating IPad operating system

    I have an early IPad (version 3.2.1 (7B405) model MB292LL), is it possible to update the operating system to IOS?

    The iPad 1 can be upgraded to 5.1.1.
    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.
