  • HT4623 How I can upgrade my iPad (iOS 3.2.2) to iOS 4.0.0 or later ?

    How I can upgrade my iPad (iOS 3.2.2) to iOS 4.0.0 or later ?
    I'm from Indonesia. I have my iPad (the first version) from 2 years ago. Now I have a trouble to download some apps in App Store just because of the requirements doesn't support for my iPad. Nowadays most of apps are need iOS 4.0.0 or iOS 5.0.0. Please help me to upgrade my iPad (iOS 3.2.2) to iOS 4.0.0 or later ??? I have no idea. Thank you.

    You can only update to the current version (i.e. 5.1.1) as that is the only version that is 'signed' by Apple.
    You will need the latest version of iTunes on your computer - you can check if you are up-to-date via, on a PC, 'Help > Check For Updates'.
    When you have that installed, connect the iPad to your computer and on your computer's iTunes copy any purchases off the iPad via File > Transfer Purchases (you may also want to copy photos off the iPad as well) and then force a backup of the iPad by right-clicking the iPad 'Device' on the left-hand side of iTunes and selecting 'Backup'. You may also want to copy off the iPad any important documents, notes, files etc e.g. via the file sharing section at the bottom of the device's apps tab when connected to iTunes, via wifi, email, dropbox etc - they should be included in the backup, but it's best to have a copy of them outside of the backup just in case.
    You can then start the update by selecting the iPad on the left-hand side of iTunes, and on the Summary tab on the right-hand side clicking the Check For Updates button.

  • Can't activate Ipad 1?

    Hi everyone I know it's about time to replace Ipad 1 but still wondering if anyone can fix this problem?
    Ipad ran out of power the other night, the next day I charged it, turned it on and it says it needs to be activated. Tried a few times it didn't work, always turns off and back to the same page 'Ipad cannot be activated on the server. Try later or activate via Itunes.' So I connected it to Itunes and the only option there is to restore it to factory setting, hoping that it will bring it back I restored it. After that, when i turned on Ipad it asked me to set up the language, region and connect to a WIFI network, and then it's on the activation page again. Tried many times and it always turns off and come back to this page.
    Anyone knows how to fixed it? I tried taking the SIM out, updated Itunes to the latest version. nothing worked...

    Try following these instructions for putting your device into DFU mode then restore.

  • Can't activate iPad mini. Says 'activation server cannot be reached'

    I can't activate my iPad mini. It says 'activation server cannot be reached'

    Exactly the same with me.
    I have just moved to apple from blackberry today.
    I can honestly say my £100 playbook can connect to wifi and i can surf away with no activations etc etc
    My Brand new out of the box today ipad mini is unable to do diddle as it is unable to connect to the activation server, oh yes thats a £450 ipad against a £100 playbook. Why am I unable to activate within 14 days for instance so at least I can be up and running
    My iphone 4 that has been lent to me for my wife to use for a few weeks before we move networks and swap to iphone 5 has been updating now for 3 hours.......so she is having to wait for another day
    So in short my apple experience so far has quite frankly been a LEMON

  • Can't activate iPad after getting it from repair. Need help quick!

    I recently broke the screen of my iPad but the hardware was working very well. Today I got it back from the repair service I gave it to (not Apple store), and when I turn on the iPad, it tells me to activate the iPad using my Apple ID, I enter all my info correctly, but it doesn't unlock. Did they give me a wrong iPad, did I get scammed? Please I need help quickly since I will be leaving the town after 3 days. Thanks for any help

    Do you have the serial number of the iPad you purchased & sent in for repair? If so, look on the back/bottom of the iPad to see the serial number of the iPad you have. Does it match?

  • TS4062 when i connect my new ipad to my computer and open itunes - it's telling me that the device can not open IPAD because it needs Itunes version 10.5 - but i can't seem to find out or download the newest version of itunes on my ipad.  Any ideas?

    My computer is not reading my new IPAD in ITunes.  It's saying i need itunes, 10.5 or higher - but i can't seem to update my itunes on the IPAD - any ideas?

    10.5 is NOT software for your ipad.  It is the itunes software for your computer.

  • Can't activate ipad after erasing?

    I upgraded to ios7 and then could not use my imessages or facetime.  I could not login with my apple account.  I finally resorted to backing up my data in itunes and erasing all of the data  and resetting my IPad.  When I went to set up the IPad as a new device it asked for my apple ID and password for activation but does not recognize the one I use for my apple account. I Iooked through various apple support docs and went into iCloud but there is no device associated with iCloud and I cannot find any previous usernames or passwords associated with the device.  I am stuck.  I now cannot use my Ipad at all.

    Sorry, without the original Apple ID and Password, you cannot activate your iPad. Did someone setup the iPad for you using his/her Apple ID and Password?

  • HT1937 I can't activate my iPhone 5 it says the activation server is temporarily unavailable

    I'm having trouble with my iPhone 5 yesterday I just saw a message saying iPhone is not  activated and every time I try it won't work it's saying the activation server is temporarily unavailable . I have the ios 7 I got it from a friend that has a developers account . Even I plug my phone to iTunes it won't still activate I don't know what else to do I'm so frustrated about this cuz I'm waiting for an important call its for ,my job interview please help

    If you have iOS 7 your're either a developer or a thief.  If you're a developer, post in the developer forum.  If you're a thief, hopefully you will be prosecuted.  In any case, you cannot receive support here.
