  • Help please - I can't update to a more up to date iOS software?

    I'm trying to update the  iOS version onto my ipad1 - I've tried to follow apples instructions for this but fail at the stage of being able to select 'software update' under 'settings' then 'general' it's not there in the menu - can someone help please?  Contrary to apples statement of alerts being sent when new software is available, I've never received anything since getting my iPad about 2.5 years ago, so I'm still on 4.2 software.

    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.

  • When I hit the e-mail icon on iPad air I always get "cannot connect to server".

    However, in a couple of seconds the e-mails load up just fine. It seems as though the iPad is not waiting long enough for the server before giving the "cannot connect" message. Is there a fix for this?

    The iPad's Mail app has no provisions for creating groups. However, you can use a third party app that many users recommend.

    Try this first - 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 - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
    Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts   Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

    The original iPad can't be updated past 5.1.1; you may be able to get compatible application versions by downloading them to a computer and then going to the Purchased screen on the device.
