Error in updating my ipad 3rd gen to IOS 6.0.1

i tried updating my ipad to IOS6.0.1 but after an hour or 2 a pop up mesaage says it encountered an error. was seems to be the problem with this?

If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.0.1. For the iPad Mini the iOS is 6.0.2. 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).

Why can't I see reviews for app updates on iPad 3rd gen since iOS 7 update?

Why can't I see reviews for app updates on iPad 3rd gen since iOS 7 update?

AAfter an hour with Apple chat, I figured out what to do on my own. When the iPhone and iPad go to autolock, press home key and do not open- streaming will be on the screen and I turned it back on. No more stops.

HT4623 I don't have an option to update my iPad 3rd gen to iOS 7? Any suggestions

I don't have an option to download iOS 7 on my ipad 3rd gen. Any suggestions?

Connect to iTunes on the computer you usually Sync with and “ Check for Updates “...
If an Update Appears Install it... if not... you are up to date for your particular Device...
See the Using iTunes Section Here...

I upgraded my iPad (3rd gen) to iOS 7. When I go to iTunes and look at the summary and to the "Apps" list tab, iTunes stops working and shuts down. What can I do? I am using a Windows 7 machine.

Hi thanks for the encouragement. It's not that the severs are "swamped", iOS 7 has been successfully installed.
I can't access the apps list in iTunes because it *****
down. Its pretty frustrating because many of my apps require me to manually transfer files into iTunes first to view
them. Not sure if the servers being swamped is an issue for me, unless they release a bug fix through another version of iTunes.
Has anyone else had this problem? My iPad is pretty useless unless I can access my app list in iTunes....

Will siri be on iPad 3rd gen in iOS 7?

It shows that Siri will be available on iPad with retina display and iPad mini but it doesn't show the iPad 3rd gen. In iOS 6 the iPad 3 had Siri but would they take it away in iOS 7?

If Siri is in iOS 6 in the 3rd generation iPad, it will still be in iOS 7. 3rd and 4th generation iPads are iPads with Retina displays

How do i update my ipad 1st gen to ios 7?

Trying to update ipad 3rd gen from ios 6.1.3 to 7.0.4

Under General - Software Update it shows one update to ios 7.0.4 (from 6.1.3) but it says it can't verify the update because I'm not connected to the internet but my wifi connection is good. I have Comcast wifi set up and can access the web. Any ideas on how to proceed? Thanks

Check this first, settings>General>date & time>set automatically>on. Make sure the time zone setting is also correct.
If you still can't update or get the message about not being connected to the internet, restart the iPad first and try again. If that fails, reset the iPad.
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.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

Bluetooth keyboard mapping issues with iPad (3rd gen) after iOS 6.1.2 upgrade

Others may have figured this out more readily than I did, but since I did not find a post on this topic, I decided I would provide this information.
After upgrading my iPad "3" to iOS 6.1.2, my bluetooth keyboard mapping was a bit off. Hitting most keys provided the desired result but not all.
Typing \ would result in ] for example. Typing shift + 2 would result in " rather than the expected (and marked) @.
To fix this I tried turning Bluetooth off and on, etc. No joy.
FinaIly, I went into "Settings," selected "Bluetooth," selected "Apple Wireless Keyboard," clicked on "Forget this Device."
I then powered off the iPad and the bluetooth keyboard. Next, I powered on the iPad and keyboard and went back into "Settings" where I paired the keyboard with the iPad again. Everything then worked as desired.
It's possible, that you may not need to go to the trouble of powering off and on the iPad and the keyboard. Simply "forgetting" the device and then pairing the keyboard with the iPad again may suffice.

Using the battery level meter in this manner is comparable to using your car's fuel gauge to calculate miles per gallon. The only thing that matters is the total amount of operating time from full charge to auto-shutdown.
Use the wall-mount charger that came with the iPad and charge overnight. Admittedly the labeling is hard to read but, if you use a magnifier and squint your eyes, you'll see "Output 5.1V, 2.1A." The symbol between volts and amps is the symbol for DC. Do NOT use an iPhone charger. Do NOT use an iPod charger. Do NOT use a computer's USB port. Then, operate it normally until auto shut-down (ignore any low level alerts that may appear). An irony is that doing that test to determine the total operating time is also the exact procedure necessary to calibrate the battery level meter.
I'm not claiming that you do not have a problem. I am stating, however, that we don't yet know whether or not a battery problem exists.
According to Apple:
Use Your iPad Regularly
For proper reporting of the battery’s state of charge, be sure to go through at least one charge cycle per month (charging the battery to 100% and then completely running it down).
Elsewhere, Apple elaborates and explains that two half-discharges (or four quarter-discharges, etc.) equals one full discharge.

No Handoff on iPad 3rd Gen.

Updated my iPad 3rd gen to 8.1 and trying to use the new continuity feature,but I realized that in settings / general under spotlight search that Handoff and suggested apps aren't even their. I was almost certain that handoff worked with iPad 3? so now I can't even turn the feature on because theirs no button! Anyone else with this problem?

I'm a little disappointed in IOS 8. Most of the new features I don't need or have turned off. On the positive side, I like request desktop site in Safari, speak screen and highlight content in accessibility, swipe to hide in the App Store, exposure in Camera and don't forget "Hey Siri."

Can't update firmware on iPad 3rd Gen (GSM) 6.0.1

I received an iPad 3rd gen (gsm) for my birthday from my sister in law, who works at Apple (this will come into play). The firmware is 6.0.1 and I am unable to update to the latest firmware. I have tried using iTunes and OTA and i get the generic error "Not eligible for this build." (device is not jailbroken)
I have used four different cables and three different computers (the ota issue kind of makes this a redundant check but I tried just to be safe)
I have deleted and redownloaded the firmware via Apple/iTunes and even finding the update and trying to manually update or restore via the ispw file.
I have also tried the hosts file method (adding a # before the apple line and also deleting the line completely and every other combination of adding lines and such).
I am able to restore on the device itself and that does not change my outcome when I try to update. What I think might be the issue (that I found out today) is that the iPad used to have a "Development" sticker on it. When I try to enter in the serial number into the support page it says the serial number does not exist. I have no idea where to go from here.
Any suggestions? (unfortunately I live an hour and half from an apple store and I'd like to try and fix it myself first)

She has no idea on what to do as she isnt a developer (I'm not going to disclose her exact position).
I've tried to reset the content and settings and it restores it to factory default but it unfortunately still gives me the error. I'm going to try and install a beta version of ios 8 (thats still signed by apple) and see if that may work.
I'm debating on bring it into the apple store or not as that may be my only option.

HT201210 I attempted to install iOS 7.0.2 on my iPad (3rd gen). The screen has frozen. Have tried resetting and restoring (via iTunes). Error mssg says that my iPad cannot be restored. Now what do I do?

HT201270 I have an iPad 3rd gen. A carrier settings update notification has appeared on my screen, and it doesn't do anything when I press either 'update' or 'not now' . Because the notification is still there, I am unable to use any apps or shut it down.

Have you tried a reset by pressing and holding the sleep/wake button and the home button for 20 seconds (maybe longer) until the Apple logo appears, ignore the red slider. Then turn back on. You won't lose any data doing the reset.
