Error trying to update ipad

I'm trying to update my Ipad 2 to the most current operating system. When connected to Wifi, I try going to Settings > General, but I do not have an option to update here. I've tried hooking it up to itunes on my PC and updating from there, but I get a message "The ipad update server could not be contacted". Getting frustrated as I can't update the software and I can't access many new apps as they require a higher version to work correctly.

Let's try the following document with that one.
iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
(If the "Automatically detect settings" checkbox is already checked, try unchecking and rechecking it and clicking OK.)

Error trying to update to itunes 10.6.3 & now 10.7 (e drive?)

Error trying to update to itunes 10.6.3 & now 10.7 (e drive?)
I've been having this problem for a while (maybe a couple of months) and avoided it until I updated my iPad and iPhone to iOS 6. Now they won't sync! :|
At first it was simply collapsing after the install process. I've tried again tonight and it is saying that it has an E drive error. I've tried to use the instructions on other discussions (using Run, CMD, and mapping the E drive to C) - but, I don't actually have an E drive. My c used to be split into two, including an E drive, but it has since been returned to one single drive. (I'm a teacher, the IT manager at school sorted this - managing one drive is easier for me to keep it working well - until now).
Itunes was reinstalled and set up simply in the C drive, but could there be something remaining from it's previous install? Help?!?
Thanks,
Luke

many thanks.
There's a few suggestion other than using SUBST at the command prompt given in the following user tip:
"Invalid drive X:\" install errors
Do any of the alternate methods work for you?

If you have any apps that were acquired with the old ID they will always be tied to that ID. Delete them and reacquire them with the new ID that you have in Settings > iTunes and App Store

Greetings sansun911,
After reviewing your post, I have located an article that can help with Update and Restore errors. It contains a number of troubleshooting steps and helpful advice for the issue you are experiencing. Has the device been backed up via iCloud or a computer at any point?

Error 3194 when trying to update iPad 2 to iOS 5

I was just trying to update my iPad 2 to iOS 5, and after 'verifying the update with itunes' the updating process stopped. Something popped up that said an error (error 3194) had occurred.
I had previously jailbroken another device on that computer. But, I later restored the device and tried to remove all the jailbreaking software from my computer. Since then I have not had a problem updating my devices on iTunes, until now. I am guessing my previous attempt at jailbreaking is causing these problems. Is there a way to fix this?
Thanks!

See this support document for error codes. Resolve iOS update and restore errors - Apple Support The 39 does not appear, but there is a 37 and 40, so I would believe it is close to that.
If you are having trouble updating, you need to check this support document for that. You may need to put the device into Recovery Mode.
If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
It could also be the security software on the Windows PC. Another question, is the device jailbroken?

Error 39 when trying to update iPad will not turn on

I have an ipad 2 64. It had iOS 8.1. I tried to update to iOS 8.1.2 today. When I came back to my ipad it had a picture of an ipad cord pointing to a red circle with the word itunes in it. I have connected to itunes downloaded all updates then tried to restore my ipad I continually get error 39. I have tried this on 3 different windows cpus. I always get error 39. I am not even able to get my ipad to boot past the screen with the picture of cord and arrow. Thanks

Error -5000 when updating iPad 2 to iOS 5.0.1

Hello,
I often tried to update my iPad 2 to iOS 5 but it doesn't work.
My newest error is -5000.
What does this mean? I'm very upset because I was trying it for months and it's always something different!
Thanks,

Error trying to update web.xml

I'm trying to update web.xml via these instructions:
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/d0eb8120-b66c-2910-5795-894f384fc054
The upload fails, and I see this excetpion in the log:
Caused by: java.rmi.RemoteException: Error occurred during single file update of
       application sap.com/irj. Reason: Updating the security information in the
       deployment descriptors is not allowed in this operation.; nested exception is:
     com.sap.engine.services.servlets_jsp.server.exceptions.WebDeploymentException:
       Updating the security information in the deployment descriptors is not
       allowed in this operation.
Ideas? I'm signing in as Administrator, so why would the operation not be allowed?
This is a 7.0 system, and the instructions are for a nw2004 system. We've successfully uploaded the web.xml file before, so I'm thinking that something has changed in 7.0 that's preventing the upload.

This page of the documentation indicates that the technique is the correct case:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/6e/8590f1d6d349c9adc34c6a8085189b/frameset.htm
So, one of two things has happened:
1. The documentation is in error, or
2. A bug has been introduced.
I'm hoping it's #2....

Error trying to update to v7.1.0.391 (Rogers)

Hi folks,
Trying to update the O/S on my 9810.
All I get is an error screen that says this:

  enhancements to the BlackBerry solution and,as such, is only available to users with

This is beginning to get a bit frustrating and any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello,
The message is actually completely accurate...but here is more:

Good luck!

Error trying to update collection metadata

Hi,
I'm trying to update via Java code - using service COLLECTION_UPDATE - a collection/virtual folder which was previously created(by Java code, again) - using service COLLECTION_ADD - , but I get this error:
Error: !csCollectionUnableToUpdateCollection!csCollectionUnableToOpenCollection
What could be the cause? Is the update operation coming to soon after the folder has been created? What should be done?
Thanks,
Vlad

many thanks.
