Cannot update my ipad2 from 4.2.1. to 4.3.2

Everytime I sinc my ipad it says I have an update to do.. I try to do it and in the end it says there is an error and that it timed out on me. Has anyone had success updating their ipad to this and if you have what are the advantages or doing the update? .. Do you HAVE to do it? I have tried and failed 6-8 times and I am thinking of just giving up.. I just wish that it would stop popping up that I need to do the update.. Now if the upgrade is something that makes videos run better or if I need it to be able to get HBOGO when it comes out on May 2nd then I need to figure out what the issue is.. One of my friends has the ipad also and was able to update with no problems..
I even tried to restore my ipad to factory settings and then update it but it wouldn't even restore for me.. Not sure what is up with this thing.

I suspect you have a 2G iPod. Those can only go to iOS 4.2.1.

HT4623 I cannot upgrade my ipad2 from ios4.3 to ios7

I cannot update my ipad2 from ios4.3 to ios7, please help

Hi,
I've just upgraded my ipad2 from ios4 to ios7 using itunes. After the upgrade it asked me to do an initial setup(which I did) and then it asked me to connect to itunes for a restore. after the process ran, the ipad restarted. This is where all my problems started.
After the restart of the ipad, i am again at the same step and this time, in the itunes, i get this warning message: "The iPad "myipadname" could not be synced because this computer is no longer authorized for purchased items that are on this iPad" and then it continues "To authorize this computer for items purchased from the iTunes Store, choose Store > Authorize This Computer."
As mentioned in the warning message, i went ahead and authorized the computer. It then says that "the computer is already authorized" and then is throwing me in the never ending loop. I already spent lot of time on the net and it took me no where.
Please guide me

Look at iOS Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
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.
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

Cannot update ipod software from version 1.0.2 to 1.0.3

I cannot update ipod software from version 1.0.2 to 1.0.3. The message says, "The ipod cannot be updated because it contains files that are in use by another application." It's an ipod nano 7th generation. My Mac OS X is version 10.6.8. What should I do?

Temporarily disable ALL of your anitvirus/antispyware software or in your AV software turn off iPod scanning.

HT4623 why I cannot update my ipad from 5.1.1 to latest versions? Some of the apps wouldn't work on the 5.1.1 . To buy a new ipad,would be a rip off .

why I cannot update my ipad from 5.1.1 to latest versions? Some of the apps wouldn't work on the 5.1.1 . To buy a new ipad,would be a rip off. What is the solution?

The original iPad does not have the memory and processing power to run more recent version of the iOS. 5.1.1 is the latest it can run.

Cannot update my iPad2 to 5.1 An unknown error message cancels the download process. Could you please inform me how to fix this issue? Thanks!

Cannot update my jail broken iPad2 & iPhone 4S to 5.1
An unknown error message cancels the download process. Could you please inform me how to fix this issue? What is also odd is the fact that the update through iTunes is substantially bigger than downloading it directly OTA, although both methods have been unsuccessful so far...
Thanks!

About the only thing you can try is using the Online Internet Recovery system to reinstall Lion on your Mac over the top of the current install. that will reset all system files and should not touch your personal files or the apps you have installed.
Or iof you have a recent Time Machine backup use that to restore your Mac to that point in time.

Why I cannot update my IPad2 neither my Iphone 3GSto ISO5

I am trying to update my IPad2 to ISO5 and I get an error message. I bought my IPad in San Juan PR and right now I am in Romania. So is happening with my IPhone 3GS. Please advise. Thank you

Does not matter whether the apps are free or paid, you need to have a working credit card info linked to your Apple ID. If you do not want to put in your CC, you can buy and use iTunes gift card from most shops.

After updating my ipad2 from ios5 to ios5.1 sound is dead

I updated my ipad2 today from ios5 to iOS 5.0.1 , my sound is dead..... What to do ??? Help!!!

Make sure your device is not muted. Double tap the home button > swipe from left to right > check speaker icon. Also check the "mute switch / rotation lock switch". If those check out fine, back up your iPad in iTunes > restore as a new device

Cannot update Camera Raw from 6.7 to 7.1

When I try to update Camera Raw from 6.7 to 7.1, from the 7.1 setup file I downloaded, I get the error:
"Update failed
Updates could not be applied
This patch is not applicable for you. Please check for updates from the help menu in your product to see a list of latest updates available."
If I go to help in Photoshop CS5 and click on updates, it says that all of my programs are up to date, but Camera Raw is still 6.7. It absolutely refuses to update to 7.1
I just traded in my Nikon D3100 for a Nikon D3200 and 6.7 does not support it, but 7.1 does, so I REALLY need it to upgrade because I like to shoot in RAW.
Please help????

The Adobe policy is to provide free updates for currently shipping products. The current version of Photoshop is CS6, the current Camera Raw is 7.1.
Providing backwards compatibility of older software with newer versions of Camera Raw is a major technical problem. Camera Raw is a plug-in with dependancies on the host version of Photoshop's SDK. Camera Raw 7.x is designed to use the CS6 SDK. Photoshop CS6 has different platform requirements than Photoshop CS5 had. So, trying to force fit Camera Raw 7.x to work in Photoshop CS5 would require a code branch of the Camera Raw code that would substantially complicate future development–meaning it would put a major dent in the development resources that Adobe could apply to future updates–a bad thing for current customers. Personally, as a CS6 user, I would not like that at all.
Adobe provides backwards compatibility for new cameras in old versions of Photoshop for free. Yes, it's an additional step but one that only costs a bit of time on your part. The free DNG Converter is capable of producing DNGs that are compatible back to Camera Raw 2.4 in Photoshop CS...and again, this is free and something that Adobe didn't HAVE to do...
You want new cameras to be supported in older software–fact is these new cameras produce new raw file formats that are proprietary and undocumented–it takes a lot of work o decode new formats. This problem is a direct result of the failure of the camera companies to adopt a raw file format standard that would eliminate the need for new camera format decoding...you are perfectly happy buying a new camera that creates a new, un-compatible raw format and blame only Adobe for failing to upgrade old software? Your expectations are unrealistic and you are trying to place blame on the wrong party, it's the camera company's who are at fault for not adhering to some sort of standard that would free users of the problems they face now. Blame the company that sold you the camera that is not compatible with your software...it ain't Adobe's fault.

Cannot update Flash Player from version 14

I'm unable of updating or removing Flash Player 14 from my computer. I have installed version 16 aswell, but swf files still run in version 14. In Flash Professional, I am unable to export HTML wrappers to other flash versions than 14.
I cannot find it at the list of installed applications either. This is really frustrating as I suspect my applications would perform better in newer versions.

Local swf files use the standalone player (Projected), not the Flash Player plugin.
You can download the latest Projector from https://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html
Note that the download is the player, not an installer, so you need to make the file association manually.

I cannot update my ipad from 4.2.1 to anything else. please help!

Hello,
my ipad is on 4.2.1 and I want to update it to the latest version but I cant. I went through the entire trouble shooting, and I even updated my macbook/itunes. I have restarted my computer over and over, I tried using the different USB ports. I also tried deleting the the ipsw's and downloading new ones.
is there anything you i can do to update it? please help me!!
my laptop tells me that this "ipad cannot be updated/restored. this device is not eligble for this requestd build."
thank you!

Specific error messages and resolutions
This device is not eligible for the requested build: Also sometimes displayed as an "error 3194." If you receive this alert, update to the latest version of iTunes. Third-party security software or router security settings can also cause this issue. To resolve this, follow Troubleshooting security software issues.
Downgrading to a previous version of iOS is not supported. If you have installed software to performunauthorized modifications to your iOS device, that software may have redirected connections to the update server (gs.apple.com) within the Hosts file. First you must uninstall the unauthorized modification software from the computer, then edit out the "gs.apple.com" redirect from the hosts file, and then restart the computer for the host file changes to take affect. For steps to edit the Hosts file and allow iTunes to communicate with the update server, see iTunes: Troubleshooting iTunes Store on your computer, iPhone, iPad, or iPod—follow steps under the heading Blocked by configuration (Mac OS X / Windows) > Rebuild network information > The hosts file may also be blocking the iTunes Store. If you do not uninstall the unauthorized modification software prior to editing the hosts file, that software may automatically modify the hosts file again on restart. Also, using an older or modified .ipsw file can cause this issue. Try moving the current .ipsw file, or try restoring in a new user to ensure that iTunes downloads a new .ipsw.
Usually it's just Anti-Virus, try disabling and restoring again. Also ensure iTunes it up to date.
Hope this helps!!

HELP ME PLEASE! Every time I try to reset, restore or update my ipod to install the 1.2 software for iPod I get error message: "ipod" cannot be updated because it contains files that are in use by another application.

I don't know why update fails but I give you my expiriences with the new iPod firmware version 1.2. This new version has an annoying bug, it plays titles not until the end, instead it interruptes playing and continue with the next title.
At the moment I downgrade to the older version 1.1.2 and hope to remove this strange behaviour.
