Download iOS 4.2 for iPad without iTunes

Have been struggling with Network Connection Timeout and couldn't download IOS 4.2 before I found this fix.
I have now (finally) successfully downloaded IOS 4.2 for iPad.
You can download the iOS 4.2 update directly from appldnld.apple.com/iPad/ in your favorite download manager without iTunes.
I'm using Firefox (Win-7) and the download manager add-on.
As the download is stopped numerous times without reason
(I suspect server overload), you'll have to reclick on the download manager box numerous times to complete the download.
Once the iPad1,14.2.1_8C148Restore.ipsw file is downloaded, connect the iPad to the computer, launch iTunes and press Shift + Update button to upgrade your iPad iOS.
Go to the folder where you saved the download and open it.
Voila.

A quick question to others here, when i first got my iPad iTunes was saying that my iPad was up to date and it gave a date when it would next automatically check as three days in the future - November 21st. Now it is saying the 28th. Is it normal for it to go to a week like that or is that another item to feed the rumor mill?
By default, after any check for updates the next check is scheduled for 1 week later. You can verify this by clicking the "check for updates" button. The next time you come back to the page for that device, you'll see that the next check date is a week out.

HT5503 How do you download IOS 6.0 for IPAD

I would like to download IOS 6.0 for my IPad 2. How can I do that?

If you are using iOS 4 (or earlier) there is no Software Update in Settings. That feature was first added in iOS 5.
To update you will have to connect your iPad to iTunes on a computer (preferably the one you sync with and backup to).

HT5192 unable to download ios 5.0 for ipad using windows 7 and itunes 10.1

I am unable to upgrade to ios 5.0 for my ipad. I am using windows 7 and my itunes is updated 10.1 it keeps timimg out and i get error message 3259. I already tried diacbling antivirus software

You've tried turning off all firewall and antivirus software ? If that doesn't work then you could try downloading the 5.1.1 update via a browser :
original iPad
iPad 2 wifi
iPad 2 gsm/sim
iPad 2 CDMA
iPad 2 new
iPad 3 wifi
iPad 3 gsm
iPad 3 CDMA
When it's finished downloading, in your computer's iTunes press and hold the shift key on Windows (command key on Mac) when clicking the Check For Updates button which should let you navigate to the downloaded file.

HT5192 Need help download iOS 5.1 for ipad

Can't find software update in general settings what do I need to do

If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.1.3. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.

If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
Tip - If connected to your computer, 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 an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).
Tip 2 - If you're updating via wifi, place your iPad close to your router to preclude getting a corrupted download.

How do I download iOS 5.0 on iPad 1?

How can I download iOS 5.0 for iPad 1? When I try to do so, plugging a USB chord into the iPad and my Mac laptop, I do not see the iPad symbol in the Mac's lefthand column (which was the supposed step needed to find and click on an update link). Without iOs 5.0 I can't update certain apps that require it, e.g., Pages and iWriter. Can anyone help?

Your iPad is not being recognized in iTunes. Try restarting the Mac and the iPad and then connect again and see if the iPad is recognized.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
If still no luck, start here.

You must be running iTunes 10.5 on the Mac as well in order to update the iPad to iOS 5. If you haven't updated to 10.5, download and install iTunes 10.5 and that may help with the iPad being recognized as well.

Since downloading iOS 8 on my iPad 2 it has stopped working and will not connect to iTunes

Since downloading iOS 8 on my iPad 2 it has stopped working and will not connect to iTunes to do a restore. I have tried to do a reset using the sleep button and home key and all I get is a white band across the screen and then it boots into the main system but it is just a series of white lines going across the screen, how can I do a restore on this?

Hey dbwithers,
Thanks for the question. I understand that you are experiencing issues with your iPad after attempting to update to iOS 8. To isolate these issues, let’s try placing your iPad in recovery mode and attempting a restore with iTunes:

HT4623 I am having a heck of a time installing IOS 7 on my IPAD from itunes. Any suggestions?

I am having trouble upgrading to IOS 7 on my Ipad thru Itunes (which I have to use). Any suggestions?

Tell me about the computer you are using for updates?   What operating system? What version of iTunes? (must be version 11.1)
If iTunes is up to date... MAKE A GOOD BACKUP TO COMPUTER.   You will need to restore later.

How do I download IOS 7 to my IPad?

I want to download IOS 7 for my IPad. I would like to do this through my computer so I do not have to remove my apps. However, when I go into updates in my iTunes, the only selection I get is IOS 8. I do not want to use IOS 8 until it is fixed. So the question is... How do I download IOS 7 to my IPad through my computer?

You can't.
There is no longer iOS 7 available and no longer anyway to obtain or download it.
The current iOS version is iOS 8.0.2.
I would NOT advise updating your iPad at this time.
iOS 8, IMO, is still plenty buggy and NOT ready for older iPad 2 and 3 devices, as yet.
DO NOT UPDATE!
I would suggest waiting it out until, at least iOS 8.1 is, eventually, released.

Most such tutorials that I've seen are done as self-contained apps. For instance, the ones from this company:
http://itunes.apple.com/us/artist/appdesigner.com-inc./id361068165
All such apps are delivered via the iTunes Store, which binds an app to the purchaser's iTunes Store account so the app can't be shared with anyone else. You can learn more about developing and selling apps for iOS here:

HT1222 How do I download iOS 5 to my iPad 2?

How do I download ios5 to my iPad 2?

You can't download iOS 5 onto an iPad 2, you can only install iOS 6.0.1 as that is the only version that is 'signed' by Apple for it.
To update, 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

Do I need to download any antivirus Program for IPad 2, which program is better?

Do I need to download any antivirus Program for IPad 2, which program is better?

But you could have viruses that may not effect an iOS device or even a Mac, but could easily be unwittingly passed on to PC users. So, if you send and receive a lot of email with attachments,and many of your receivers are PC users, you may consider whether you want to risk forwarding them a virus, etc.
