Cannot seem to upgrade ipad ios 3.2 to 4.3

Backup function takes days and nothing seems to happen. Should I reset to factory?

Simardypants-
Something is definitely wrong. When you Sync the iPad to iTunes, the backup should be complete in a few seconds. You might have a bad cable, or perhaps swapped an iPad cable with an iPhone cable by mistake.
I suggest you re-install iTunes. You can download a fresh copy of the latest version from the Apple website.

Exchange mail cannot work after upgrade to ios 8.3

just upgraded the ios to 8.3 yesterday, and the exchange mail could not work since then. no luck even after deleting and re-add the account.
anyone facing the same problem?
i will never trust Apple next time to upgrade the new OS at the first day.
iPhone 6

I have exactly the same problem. When I make a change in Settings Exchange checks itself off implying that it is working, but I keep getting "Cannot Reach Server" message whenever I try to get email.
I have become very leery of accepting the new IOS upgrades. There is always a problem.

Upgrade iPad iOS 5.1.1 to iOS 6

My iPad is the original first generation. The OS is iOS 5.1.1. How can I get it upgraded to iOS 6?

Actually no. Officially the orignal; Samsung Galaxy S i9000 can only be upgraded to Gingerbread.
Android 4.0 and later
An official update to Android 4.0 was never released, as Samsung felt that the Galaxy S did not have enough memory (RAM) to run the TouchWiz interface on top of Android 4.0.[33] In lieu of Android 4.0, Samsung released a "Value Pack" update for the Galaxy S in March 2012 in South Korea, which maintains the 2.3 (Gingerbread) -based operating system, but includes new features from TouchWiz 4.0 (some of which backported from 4.0) such as face unlock, improvements to the launcher, the ability to take still photographs while recording video, and a redesigned photo editor.[34]
However, unaffiliated developers associated with Cyanogenmod produced unofficial updates based on Android 4.1 and 4.2 for the Galaxy S and its variants. These updates are developed from Android Open Source Projectcode.[35]
There are alternative ways not supported by Samsung to update yes but that's akin to jailbreaking the iPad and of course is not valid when comparing lifespans
With that said, There are still thousands of applications in the App store perfectly capable of running on an original iPad.
I've also owned an Android Samsung Galaxy Young, which was unupdateable past 2.3 Gingerbread right out of the box.

How do I upgrade iPad iOS

How do u upgrade iPad operating system to iOS 6
I am using ios4 now. When I go to systems then to general, there is no button for software update

The Settings > General > Software Update option only appears when you have iOS 5+ installed, if you are on iOS 4 as your tagline suggests then you will need to do the update via your computer's iTunes.
Connect the iPad to your computer's iTunes and copy any purchases off the iPad to your computer via File > Transfer Purchases. You may also want to copy photos and any important documents off the iPad as well 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 force a backup of the iPad by right-clicking the iPad 'Device' on the left-hand side of iTunes and selecting 'Backup'.
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
Updating to iOS 5+ : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4972
Your iPad will be updated to iOS 6.0.1 (which is the only version that is 'signed' by Apple), so you will lose the built-in YouTube app and the Maps app will change.

Apps don't work after upgrade ipad ios 5.1

I have updated my ipad to ios 5.1.
No apps work except native ones.
Is there a way to fix this ?
thanks

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.

Please kindly help

That's not removing emails that's removing the email account
From the looks of it, it's controlled by profiles "Corp email/ V_4" which would have been installed by your IT department
You better talk to them about it

Multiple crashes after seemingly ok upgrade to iOS 5.1.1 on iPhone 4

I recently updated my iPhone 4 to iOS 5.1.1. It worked practically perfectly for 4 days. It then said that the password for my home wi-fi was incorrect so I restarted it and the device crashed. A total restore and install of the most recent back-up was performed that evening (the only thing the phone would allow as it asked to be connected to iTunes), and eventually it worked again. The following afternoon, when attempting to retrieve an email, the phone deleted all the previously held emails for that account and downloaded them all again. The screen showing one email then appeared to have a grey colour and a thin red line over it. On restart, the apple with progress bar you see when downloading software/preparing for restore appear on top of the home screen. Again it told me to restore/install back-up via iTunes, just approx 11hrs after the other crash. 7 hours after this restore, the phone crashed again - this time when someone was attempting to call/text and I am currently in the midst of my third restore in less than 24 hours!
Anyone with any insight as to what's happening and/or would be very useful, or is this one for the Genius bar?

I cannot dictate since upgrade to iOS 8

After update to IOS 8 I can't dictate in any application. Use dictation a lot so I need to fine a fix.

That's great. In the future, a restart / reset is usually a good idea to see if that solves anything. Just for next time

HT1414 I upgraded to iOS 5 and my iPad cannot be recognized by my pc, my apple laptop or any other system. It doesn't even sync while connected to my wireless network. also, the iPad can only charge if I turn it off and plug it to either the wall outlet

After I upgraded to iOS 5 my pc and laptops (including the apple one) do not recognize the laptop when I connect to the USB. The wireless function does not function either. I cannot sync the iPad 2 anymore because of this. Also, the only way it charges is if I lug it to the wall or pc USB and turn it off. I was able to charge the device while it was on. Why is this happening? How can I fix it? If there is no fix, how can I revert back to an older iOS. I tried using the support apple instructions but the iPad is not recognized by the pc and I cannot sync the iPad iTunes to revert back to an older iOS. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
Change the channel on your wireless router. Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.

Unable to play some movie from Netflix on my iPad. When I click on a movie an error message comes up which says "cannot play movie. Please try again". Can anyone assist me? I just upgraded to iOS 7.1. Netflix not able to find problem.

Unable to play some movies from Netflix on my iPad. When I click on a movie an error message comes up "Cannot play movie. Please try again later." I contacted Netflix but have not been able the help so I am wondering if it's my iPad. I didn't have a problem before but I have recently upgraded to iOS 7.1. Also is a certain amount of storage needed to play a movie? About how much is that?

Hello all,
I have an iPad 2 16GB with iOS 7.0.3 and Netflix version 5.0.2. I cannot watch netflix on an External LCD monitor that I have through VGA out. I use bluetooth speakers, so the AirPlay is going to that for Audio. Before this update, this combo worked without an issue.
So as of Friday Nov. 8/2013, I contacted Netflix support, and they said they fixed the problem on their end, and the fix is on the Apple side of things, and to contact Apple support.
So, I contacted Apple support, and the first person I spoke to said I would have to agree to pay a $35 fee for 30 days of support to this problem since my unit is out of warranty. I said this isn't a hardware issue, it's a software issue, and I'm not willing to pay to fix a problem you created. So I got a Senior Level advisor on the line, and she was helpful, and she's looking into the issue for me and said she'll contact me sometime on Tuesday or Wednesday (Nov. 12 or 13) to let me know of the issue.
Here's the thing: this is a combination of Netflix and iOS not working correctly with any of the Apple Authorized Dongles. This is truly a code error that some hot shot programmer had major oversight on, and their management didn't catch it either. There was no reason for Netflix to rush to get this Netflix update going until Apple sorted out the bugs in iOS 7.
Anyway, if I hear anything from Donna (the advisor), I'll post it and let you guys know. In the mean time, good luck!

I recently upgraded to iOS 7.0.3 and now my iPhone 4S will only sync purchased music to my phone from iTunes. Help! I have TONS of music that I have bought and burned to my computer, but cannot listen to it on my iPhone. This seems ridiculous!

Try a Restart.
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
Resetting your settings
You can also try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered. You won't lose any data, but it takes time to enter all of the settings again.
Resetting your device
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Apple recommends this only if you are unable to restart it.
Or if this doesn't work and nobody else on the blog doesn't have a better idea you can contact Apple.
Here is a link to their contacts with most of the information below.

Hello pichastos,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
To troubleshoot this issue where your camera is displaying a black screen, please follow the information outlined below.
You see a closed lens or black screen
If you see a closed lens or black screen when you open the Camera app, try these steps:
Make sure that there’s nothing blocking the camera lens. If you’re using a case, try removing it.
Force the app to close, then open the Camera app again.
Restart your device, then open the Camera app again.
If your device has a front and rear camera, try both cameras by tapping (camera swap icon). If you see the closed lens or black screen on only one camera, take your device to an Apple Retail Store or Authorized Service Provider for more help.
Get help with the camera on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
Take care,
Alex H.
