DO NOT UPGRADE APPLE IPAD SOFTWARE !!

This is a warning ! Do not accept to upgrade the IPod software through Itune as suggested. The upgrade has a high chance to fail and then you will be asked to go through a restore process and in doing so it will erase all the applications you purchased !!

Whats wrong? My update worked just fine…
What was happening exactly?
I suggest the following steps:
1. Go to the "Library" folder in you user account, there you find the "iTunes" and in there the "iPad Software Updates" folder. Take the "iPad1,13.2.1_7B405Restore.ipsw" file and delete it.
2. Open iTunes and connect the iPad, when iTunes asks to download the software or you have to restore the iPad, just allow it.
3. When iTunes is done with the restore, it will ask whether or not you like to restore from a backup -- VERY IMPORTANT -- don't let iTunes use you backup, instead set the iPad up as a new device…
This makes sure no screwed config files are play back to your iPad, and you will loose nothing, all your Apps are in iTunes as well even you bought it directly from the iPad
enjoy your magic machine

Try and force iPad into Recovery Mode:
1. Turn off iPad
2. Connect USB cable to computer; leave the other end alone
3. Press and hold the Home button down and connect the docking end of cable to iPad
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect To iTune" screen
5. Release the Home button
6. Open iTune
7. You should see "iTunes has detected an iPad in recovery mode"
8. Use iTune to restore iPad
Note: You need to be patient and repeat the above many times to recover your iPad

TS1702 I purchased PDF printer before upgrading my iPad software, but when I upgraded the software and searched in the purchased applications, I did not find it. How can I restore it?

I have an iPad (1) can you not upgrade the software to anything higher than 5.1.1?
Correct. The iPad 1 can only go as far as iOS 5.1.1

I have upgraded my iPad software to 7.02 and cannot play any media. Gutted.

I have upgraded my iPad software to 7.02 and cannot play any media: podcasts , music or videos. Gutted as I am a month holiday in Indonesia. Tidied to contact apple but you cat e mail them. Waited an hour for a support chat session but nothing. Far from what I expected from apple.

What happens when you attempt to play such media? Do you get some error messages or does the app crash, or does something else happen?
Did you update to iOS 7 while away from home or before you left?
Did you do an over the air update or via iTunes? If it was over the air I'd be interested in knowing how much available space you had on your iPad before you did the upgrade.

Taking too much time and not connecting to ipad software server

taking too much time and not connecting to ipad software server and not updating.. why

because everyone is doing the same thing you are... be patient, and you will get the update... I had to grab the update over 3G (it won't let you download or install, but it got me in the door) and then switch back to wifi and download and install.

I recently upgraded our iPad software to 5.1. However, none of our previously downloaded Apps works, i.e. Facebook, Scrabble, etc. Can anyone help me reset these Apps?

Download another app - any free app will work. See if that does the trick.

After upgrading my IPad software to iOS I lost all my picture albums!!! Any suggestions? Why did that happened?

Monmere-
Also check the print queue to see if a print job has gotten stuck. Click the home button twice and you should see recently used programs across the bottom of the screen. Scroll across to find the print queue.

I really am struggling to like the upgrade, but the screensaver problems are awful...I have tried most of the solutions offered here, and the problem still persists...PLEASE fix it, Apple. I wish I had not upgraded my ipad.

I am really struggling to like this upgrade, but the screensaver problems are so disappointing...I have tried most of the suggested solutions but the outsized photo problem still persists on my ipad. Pretty close to a deal breaker! Please fix this, Apple. I really wish I had not upgraded...can it be undone? I really dislike the camera roll, too : (

No one from Apple monitors these forums, so it isn't the place to voice complaints or suggestions. Go here:

It's the best place to make complaints, recommendations, or just mention stuff.
There's a screensaver with iOS? I don't think so.

Epson Workforce 845 will not print after IPad software upgraded

All worked well before I upgraded my Ipad2 software yesterday. No longer prints. Message when I press print says it is searching for an AirPrint printed, and finds none on my network. Nothing has changed except the software upgrade. hat must I do?

Thanks...other computers on the wireless network continue to work well. The Epson Workforce 845 is an approved printer on AirPrint. Trying to find a printer setup screen on the iPad without success. When I bought the new wireless printer, it worked right out of the box with the iPad.
I am tempted to restore the software to the original factory settings through iTunes but fear losing everything that has been added since I got it. A disclaimer on iTunes says I can back all up, and later reinstall after I reset to original factory settings, but I am skeptical. Any experience in this area?

I have a 3gs, thats was "upgraded" with iPad software. No Longer Works

excuse my untech saviness when I write this:
I have a 3GS, it was jailbroken for me, but not only that, it was running on Ipad software. I was told the reason was at the time there werent any hacks for the 3GS software due to the 4 being out and the ipad as well. phone ran well no issues.
the problem:
finally have a computer, a iMac to be exact... Ive been syncing without problems. Today, I updated my iPhone. I was told not to. but forgot since I had the phone "worked on" last year, and really wasnt thinking.
the phone was restored to factory settings, I can get as far as the wi-fi set up. But I can not activate the cellular part of the phone. On iTunes, its saying there isnt a sim card installed. I took it out and reinstalled. still nothing. please help. thank you

I can not upgrade my ipad 2 4.33 to ios 5.0.1 or 5.1

I have ipad 2 and iphone 4 devices but from 2 days can not update my Ipad 2 to ios 5.1 the first error was 3194 after fix this error, it's show preparing ipad to update... and after several minutes error 1604.. And can't fix this. Why must to be so difficult every process with apple devices. I am using apple devices from 2004 and its going to harder every day to use them.

Since i've upgraded my ipad software, i cannot sync.

I have a 2008 macbook pro running 10.5.8, it will not support any newer version of Mac os. I was prompted to upgrade my ipad this week and where it was running perfectly with my mac, now it doesn't recognize it at all and I cannot re-install the previous os on the ipad. In fact, I get a prompt telling me upgrade my os on my Mac in order to sync my ipad. Since I can't do that because my macbook pro won't support any newer version of the os and I can't re-install the previous os that was originally on my ipad, I now have an ipad that wont sync. What can I do to get movies from my Mac to my ipad now.
Thanks in advanced,
J

Well, you have a problem because your OS X version is so old.
The latest version of iTunes, iTunes 11.1.3, needs at least OS X 10.6.8. (The current version of OS X is 10.9.1.)
So as soon as you purhcase a newer Mac, and migrate your iTunes library to it, all will be well again.

Why can't i use the Apple ID I have been using after upgrading my Ipad Software?

After upgrading to the highest OS, I'm being asked for my Apple ID - and I am using the ID I have always used for my Iphone, Ipad and Ipod, but it is teling me my Apple ID (email address) is already in use. I only have one Apple account and ID and need to use my ipad. How can I use the same ID? Thanks.

You have to create an Apple ID a specific way to use it without a credit card. The one you have created now, cannot be changed to not have a credit card. See this support document. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2534

My Ipad 2 will not upgrade the new software. How can I update my "outdated" iPad2?

I have not updated my Ipad2 in quite sometime, and I am afriad that it is outdated. Is there a way I can update it? It seriously could have been over a year since it has been updated the software.

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.
