Error updating to 6.1.3 on iPad 3. Won't update

Cannot update to 6.1.3 on iPad 3. Getting message "update failed".
Any one with similar issue?

I would start with this. Reboot your iPad and power cycle your router.
Reboot 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.
Unplug your router for about 30 seconds, then plug it back in.
See if that helps. If it doesn't help, you can always use iTunes to update the iPad. When you update with iTunes, it takes a good while longer because you are downloading the entire iOS all over again. When you update OTA, you are only downloading the incremental update.
If you don't use iTunes or do not have a computer, you can also try using another WiFi network, a friends house, another family member, a public WiFi hotspot.
If you do use iTunes, disable your antivirus software and turn off your firewall while you are updating.

My ipad 2 won't update apps. It shows that 2 apps need updating, but not which ones.

My iPad 2 won't update apps. It shows that 2 apps need updating, but doesn't show which 2.

Many people are having this problem for the last couple of days. This is a problem that Apple has to fix. If you look around the forum, you will see many, many discusssions about this and they have been going on for a few days.
According to Fly150 in another discussion, this is a workaround - for the time being.
If you want to update the Apps while waiting for Apple to fix Updates:
1. Go to App Store
2. Select Purchased
3. Select All
4. Scroll down to find the Apps showing update
5. Select update on the Apps
This should update the Apps and get rid of the update count in App Store.

What in particular didn't you like about Firefox 6?
You can undo a lot of changes, either via changing settings or prefs on the <b>about:config</b> page or via extensions.

My ipad 3 won't update to iOS 6.2. I get error message saying I'm not connected to the Internet even though Internet is working for everything else.

Does anyone know why this is happening or what I can do?

If the update is not working from the iPad over wireless have you tried to update the ipad via iTunes. Here are the steps for both ways of updating your iPad http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4623

My wife's iPad 2 won't update to IOS 5 on her iMac, my iPad 2 updated fine on my Dell PC- what gives?

My wife has a new (less than 6 months old) big beautiful iMac (of which I am extremely jealous-but that has no bearing on the conversation at hand) but every time she tries to update her iPad 2 to iOS 5 on iTunes she gets the error code 3259 at the very end of the 40+ minute download. I own a Dell (over 1 1/2 years old) running windows 7 and I updated my iPad 2 to iOS 5 when it was first released with no problems. I checked the message boards and they said that they were most likely experiencing an overload of people trying to download off the servers and that was causing the download issues. So I waited and tried again....and again....and again....and, well you get the idea.
I can not fathom how my PC updated fine but my wife's iMac (running the latest update of Lion and yes she updated iTunes and did the firewall settings correctly) can't/won't update it to save her life. Does anyone have any ideas????
Thanks,
Luke 42697

Hello jaideniv,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
First I would recommend this article named Can't connect to the iTunes Store found here http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1368. It will get you started with troubleshooting iTunes Store connection issues on the computer and the phone.
If needed there is a more advanced article named iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting found here http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3297 that I would next recommend.
Take care,

IPad 1 won't update to ios 5

My Mum has been given an iPad 1 by a relative who has bought an iPad Mini as a replacement.
She uses a PC so I have installed iTunes onto it and am trying to update the iPad to ios 5 (as a number of apps I'm trying to install for her just won't load without ios 5). However, every time I try to update it I get an error message saying "the disk is full. Removing files and emptying the Recycle Bin will free up additional space". I've emptied the recycle bin but it still won't work and I'm pretty sure the disk is not full as she doesn't use it for much other than surfing the net.
Can anyone help?

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.
 Cheers, Tom
If you have not already done so, you need to reset the iPad to the factory settings. http://ipad.about.com/od/iPad_Guide/ss/How-To-Wipe-Your-iPad-And-Erase-Data.htm This will erase all apps and files. Any apps that were downloaded by the previous owner using their Apple ID can't be updated using your ID.

Apps on iPad Air won't update - just open

When I select UPDATE for an app in the App Store, the App opens instead of updating. When I return to the App Store, the update remains.
This started after updating to iOS 8.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix?

I'm still on an older version of 7, but it started immediately after Apple release 8. It's a problem with their store.
As resetting is not an option for rme, i found one thing that sorta helps... I make sure the store isn't running, then I launch it, then tap Updates, and then frantically tap where Update All will be. It works maybe one out of 5 times I try, and then that works until the iPad thinks it is running out of storage space and the cycle begins again...

IPad 2 won't update to iOS 5.0.1

Today I got a WiFi 3G 64GB white iPad 2 running on AT&T. When I got it it was running iOS 4.3.5. When I plugged it into my MacBook Pro, It gave me an error message saying that "The iPad "Alex's iPad 2" is not eligble for the requested build". I've tried rebooting, DFU, re install ing iTunes. I tried mostly anything and can't get it to work. Could it be that because its Christmas time people are tryiing to all update to iOS 5 at once?

Had the same issue myself. Look at the following link. Just done it myself and it works a treat. Be prepared to wait about 30 mins for the full update to take effect.

Ipad 2 won't update to ios 5 no matter what I try

I've literally tried everything, I've deleted my itunes twice to make sure I had itunes 10.5. Then everytime I go a try and updat it will take almost 4 hrs and once at 3/4 of the download it will say I have a network issue and go back to zero. I just bought this Ipad in august and I have no clue what to do please help!

If you are getting a network timeout error then try temporarily turning off your firewall and antivirus software until the download has completed. If that doesn't work then you could try downloading it via a browser : https://discussions.apple.com/message/16436025#16436025

My iPad 2 won't update

Hi, I have this error of not being able to update my iPad 2 4.3.1 to iOS 5.1.1
After pressing the update button and waiting for it to extract the updated software, a window pops up. It says: "The iPad could not be restored. This device isn't eligible for the requested build." It doesn't have a specific error code number.

I used this website and did everything it told me to, but I still couldn't update my iPad.
Please help!

Have you got the latest version of iTunes on your computer ? There is also some troubleshooting for that error message towards the top of this page which you could try.

IPad Air won't update to OSX 8.0.2

I have a 16GB iPad Air.
There is not enough room left to update wirelessly to OSX 8.0.2. so I've been trying to do it via iTunes on my MBP. All seems to go OK for first 10 minutes or so of download, but then I keep getting a message saying that there is an 'error' (unspecified) and that I should try again. I've tried 4 times now, but nothing seems to work.
Any thoughts/suggestion please? Thanks.

Hey Rachacha,
Thanks for the question. I understand that you are experiencing issues updating applications on your device. Let’s see if we can isolate this issue further. First, try closing the App Store application:
iOS: Force an app to close

Next, go ahead and restart your device and test once more:
Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset

IPad 1 won't Update to 5.1--3194

I am trying to convince my neighbor of just how special the iPad is. He is not exactly a techie (-: He couldn't send outgoing e-mail, but that was a simple problem of lack of outgoing mail server password. As I tried to update his 18 apps needing update, I discovered he was still running OS 4.4.3. When I tried to download the update, I got the following error message: The iPad "Leslie Carter" could not be restored. An unknown error occurred. (3194). This happened right after it finished loading the "Extracting Software" screen. Ideas????

3194 usually occurs as a result of restoring on a computer that had modified host files.
