Disable your firewall and antivirus software, restart your iPad, quit iTunes, restart your computer and then try to update again.

This has happened to me a couple of times and what I do is quit iTunes and restart my Mac and then try again and then it will work.
If iTunes has already created the backup, you should still be able to restore from the backup when you are connected to iTunes. Right click on the iPad name on the left side of iTunes and select restore from backup. After the process completes, sync with iTunes to transfer all of your apps, music, photos and other media back onto the iPad.

I tried to update my iPad to iOS7.04, during the process it requires me to connect my iPad to iTunes on my MacBook. Why is this so as I thought the whole update should be done via wifi? When I tried to stop it by force shut down, it couldn't allow me.

Sorry no backup - no pictures.
Yes phone will automatically backup to icloud when on wifi and phone is charge, but your phone storage was full so it stop backing up.

Somebody please help me

Connect the iPad to iTunes, and do the update with iTunes.
The 4.1.2 ipsw file will not work, no longer supported.
The incremental update directly on the iPad does not work either, unless you are already on iOS 5.
Let iTunes do the job, you already lost too much time by doing it yourself.

I am trying to update my ipad from iOS 4.3.5 to 6.1.3. 6 hours ago it said 49 hours and now says 53 hours. I am using a wifi connection. Why is this taking so long? at this rate i really don't see any progress. Please help!

I am trying to update my ipad 2 from iOS 4.3.5 to 6.1.3. 6 hours ago it said 49 hours and now says 53. I am making no progress. Please help. I am using wifi connection.

You have to connect the iPad to your computer to update.
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.

Hi Kevin Gauthereau,
Welcome to the Support Communities! If you don't have access to the original computer that you use to sync to iTunes, you can backup your iPad to iCloud and update it wirelessly. This article will explain how:

I was trying to update my ipad operating system and I thought it was done but when I unplugged it from my computer the ipad has the apple logo and a long hollow oval under the logo and I can't get anything to work. Any suggestions?

I was trying to update my ipad operating system and I thought it was done. When I disconnected it from my computer the ipad went blank then the apple logo appeared midscreen with an elongated oval across the screen under it. Now nothing on the ipad works. I think it was backed up on my computer but I can't find anything that will allow me to sync the two or regain functionality on my ipad. Any suggestions?

Hi,
I would put the ipad in recovery mode and redo the update, once that is done you could restore the ipad from your backup and you would not lose any data.

Hi James,
I understand that you are able to access the web on your computer, however you are unable to access the iTunes Store. I have found the following resource which may resolve your issue:
iTunes for Windows: iTunes Store connection troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1527
If the issue persists after following the above article, you may want to follow the "Windows" section of this resource:

Wishing to transfer uTube tuts from Mac iTunes to new iPad mini

1.How to transfer uTube tutorials from Mac iTunes to new iPad mini?
2. How to transfer uTube tutorials from Mac to ipad mini
Be grateful if you advise stwp by step how to undertake both the above.
thank you
Sue

Further to my last post re uTube for ipad i have just found information on Buzz Player HD as an app to play videos on my ipad. Apparently it plays all downloaded u Tube in any format?.
If you feel this is a good idea. Please explain what part vimeo u Tube app will be the scheme of things.
I apologise for silly questions - but I am not very technical and very confused about what some similar apps will do or not do and their overlap. What I need is an app that will do the necessary and delete the the unnecessary.
thank you
