Can OS updates be done on 3G without connecting to a computer?

A family member living in a rural area has an iPad 3G but does not have a computer with Internet connection. Can the OS update be done without connecting to a computer with Internet connection?

An Internet connection from a computer is required to download the update. But the update could be downloaded on a computer that does have a connection and then copied to your family member's computer, if someone would be visiting him or her. Anyone with a computer with an Internet connection can download the update manually from Apple's servers.

Once copied to the family member's computer, it can be installed by Option-clicking the Update button in iTunes and choosing the downloaded file.
Regards.

İ had the same problem on my previous iphone 3G. My id an password is correct i can download new apps. İ just cant update apps and purchase anything in games :/

Are you able to download updates for these apps or purchase in app content via iTunes on the computer?
Are you certain that there are no apps on the device that were acquired under a different Apple ID?
If the apps update successfully via iTunes on the computer, simply sync the device to get the updated version on the device.

How can I erase files on an Ipod without connecting to a computer?

I work for a small company that has lost the orignial Ipod installation discs. This being the case, there is no way for me to erase files from the Ipods. Is there any way to do this? Secondly, how can I get discs to reinstall the drivers and such for these Ipods?

You can't delete from the iPod directly. You need to use your computer.
Any software you need for the iPod can be downloaded free from Apple's website.

My os is osx version 10.4.11 can I update to the latest os without having the os between?

My os is osx version 10.4.11 can I update to the latest os without having any of the osystems that are in between these two?

I would suggest Snow Leopard from there. Last I heard, telesales were selling it at $20 for the single user.
With that, you can run mostly everything that runs in Tiger, providing you specify Rosetta to be installed (custom installs).
You will almost certainly have problems with printer and scanner drivers unless they're very new models.
Also, some software may need updates (Adobe in particular) not all of which are free.
Normally, you can install 10.6.3 directly over the Tiger installation without upsetting your user data, applications or preferences, but you should always back up to an external drive, preferably as a bootable clone (you can use the Restore function in Disk Utility or a number of third-party apps for this).
I've done 8 installs from Tiger to SL; 6 of them went without any problems, but 2 of them wouldn't install until I erased the HDD and did a clean installation. Should that be necessary, you migrate your data back from the external during the Setup process.
For Lion, your specification is minimal and you can't make use of more than another GB of RAM (your maximum is 3GB). It would run, but very slowly.
Also, Lion doesn't have Rosetta and will not run older PPC applications (like Apple Works and older versions of MS Office), or indeed drivers for peripherals that were written in PPC code, so you'd be looking at more expense to replace a lot of programmes.

If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect to your computer & click on the "Update your device using iTunes".
Tip - 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 to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).

Nope.
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-2455 explains how to get 10.6.6 to get the App Store.
Only upgrade to 10.7 or later if you are prepared:

Is there a way to create albums on iPad 2 without connecting to a computer? I heard the iPad 1 did that? It's rather stupid that they don't have that function built in.

If you are referring to photo albums no you can't create them on the iPad with the current iOS software. You could not do it on the iPad original either as stated above.
You can purchase third party apps that allow you to do so. One app that I know of is called Photo-Sort. I am sure there are others available in the app store if you care to search.
You can provide feedback to Apple here and let them know how you feel.

Use iTunes on any computer to restore your iPhone. Your data
will be gone, but your iPhone will be functioning. You can restore
when you get home.
You may wish to look into iCloud to prevent data loss in the future:

No. Not without access to a computer running iTunes. You do want to use your own computer so that you can restore from your backup and sync your own content back from iTunes.

HT1535 Can I delete a film from my iPad without connecting to a computer?

Can I delete a film from my iPad without connecting to a computer? Does anyone know?

You can also go to Settings > General > Usage > Videos > Tap edit and Tap delete.
If you wish to redownload, go to iTunes App and then tap Purchased. In the header tap Film/TV Series and then click the little cloud with the arrow through it. It will then download onto the iPad again.

Be sure you've turned off any antivirus, spyware, malware type software. Then try [Unable to update or restore|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808]. Hopefully that will work, or you'll get more specific error messages which [this kb|http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1275] can help interpret.

Why is my itunes trying to update my iphone and its not connected to the computer?

This would be more for the technical side of the house, but why would the system try to update my iPhone and its not connected to the computer? is there a bug in the system?

Update or sync?
As of iOS 5 updates and sync can be done wirelessly, over Wi-Fi.

Are the iTunes you are referring to all purchased items?
If so, then you can download them by going to the iTunes app on your device and then click on More>Purchased>Music>Not on this iPhone, then you can selectively click on the little cloud next to the songs you want, or you can click on Download All in the upper right-hand corner.
Cheers,
