How can I update an iPad to IOS 7 when the .ipsw is already in the software updates folder?

I have already upgraded one iPad to IOS7 from iTunes. The .ipsw file is still in my ~/Library/iTunes/iPad Software Updates folder. Why, when I attempt to upgrade a second iPad, does iTunes want to start downloading it yet again? It's already there. Brain damage in iTunes? I have to limit my download activity due to my ISP (can't get another one yet).
Thanks!

    Is the iPod still singed into the account isn Settings>iTunes and App Stores and SettingsZ>iCloudl? If it is then I would not be concerned.

    since you may have started the 90 day window.
    For the other "problem", go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices and check the box that says Prevent iPod....automatically syncing.

    How can I reset my security questions even when it doesn't give me the option to send the answers to my email??? I honestly dont even remember doing any security questions. This has just now become an issue since it has stop letting me purchases music on my Mac or IPhone.

    To Reset Your Security Questions, You will need to call Apple (0800 048 0408) and Reset them, you'll need for verification access to the apple id web page (myappleid.apple.com) and it will ask for a temporary pin and also a iDevice on hand to recieve a code from Apple in order to reset your security questions

  • How can I downgrade my iPad from iOS 7.0.2 to 7.0

    How can I downgrade my IPad from 7.0.2 iOS to iOS 7.0? I do not how airplay and mirroring.

    You first need to carefully check to make sure the outgoing mail servers address is entered correctly. Also make sure your user name and password are correct. Check with your email provider to find the correct settings.
    If the settings are correct and you still cannot send Mail delete the mail account and set it up again.

  • How can I get my music files back when they are no longer on the computer?

    So the problem I am having is that I cannot play songs on the playlist because "the file cannot be located" error.  I checked the iTunes media folder and they weren't there. I searched my whole computer and they still could not be found.
    The story behind the problem is that I pretty sure all the songs I am having troubles with were ones I purchased on my iPod Touch itself. Several months ago when I plugged my iPod into the computer so it could sync ( my iPod is old and can't connect to the WiFi anymore forcing me to buy songs on my computer again.) The songs purchased on my iPod showed up on my playlist on my computer but they had the "!" next to them and they were no longer on my iPod and when I tried to get them back on I got the "cannot be located" error. I then checked the iTunes music folder again and the only songs there were songs I purchased on my computer.
    I am extremely frustrated. When I go to the iTunes store under "Purchases" they all show up however there is no way for me to download them again onto my computer because the "download" button cannot be clicked on because I am assuming it thinks the songs are already on the computer, but I know they aren't. I tried organizing my songs option and that didn't do anything.
    Is there any way to download them again? Or at least tell the iTunes store that they aren't located on my computer anymore so I can download them again?
    If I lost hundreds of dollars of music because the iTunes software is a piece a ****...

    You might want to post this question to the iTunes Windows forum rather than the iPod forum - try iTunes for Windows
    Just a note of encouragement - I doubt very much you've lost your music - they remember what you've purchased forever and as long as the content is still on the iTunes store you should never loose anything (however sometimes content is removed from the store for various reasons and in that cause if you don't have a local copy on your iTunes library it is not recoverable - but that issue is relatively infrequent) - it's just a question of why iTunes won't let you download it again. good luck...

  • HT4461 How can I cancel a download once it starts? I started a download with software update and decided I don't want it. I can pause the download, but I want to cancel entirely

    I started to download from software update and decided I don't want the items after the download had begun. How can I cancel a download? I don't want to just pause it, I want it to GO AWAY. I don't want it to resume any time ever.

  • How can I display my ipad on a remote screen and charg it at the same time

    I need to display my ipad on a remote screen for 10+ hours a day so I need to be able to charge it at the same time. Is this possible?

    The best way to charge the iPad is with its included AC charger. If it is not doing something energy intensive, it can be charged and used at the same time and not deplete the battery, especially if services that are not being used are turned off.
    Can you share more about the situation or environment in which you want to employ the iPad and which model you want to use? The new iPad consumes more energy and takes longer to charge the battery than the iPad 2.

  • I cannot get the updates for ipad to download. when it gets ready to process the file an error message pops up saying the software was unable to download and the network timed out. any suggestions...

    i am trying to update the software on my ipad from 4.2 to 4.3.3 but i cannot get it to download. I get an error message that says the software was unable to download because the network timed out.  I have tried to download it 7 or 8 different times and still get the same message.  I cannot restore the factory settings either.  The same thing happens.  Does anyone have any suggestions?  It did this when trying to update to 4.2.  I don't remember how we were able to get the software to update.  Thanks.

    Thank you King_Penguin!  It worked beautifully.  I had turned the firewalls off but not the antivirus.  You are great!  I am new to this apple community thing so it looks like I cannot mark your reply as "correct answers", but it was.  Thanks a ton!

  • How can I run a SubVi in background when a sequence is running in the main VI

    What I want to do is this
    When I push a button on the main VI, a SubVI (#1) must run and take data.
    At the same time, a sequence, in which there are other subVIs must run.
    My problem is that the subVI #1 does not run when I push the button. The sequence is running well. How can I run both the sequence and the subVI at the simultaneously?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hey Hugo,
    Sounds like you'll just want to do some parallel loops. I'll attach a screenshot of a VI that has a sequence where the counter goes up to 3, then restarts, each time it reads the iteration count from the subVI above. (The subVI is just a while loop with the iteration count attached to the global)
    Each iteration of the sequence shows an increased count from the subVI via a global variable.
    Is this what you are looking for?
    Keep in mind that I just threw this together to show functionality, its got a lot of rough edges to it.

  • How can I stop Firefox 34 from crashing when I click a button on the NOrton 360 toolbar??

    I have the latest Norton 360 and fully updated. Also have FF 34.05. After anywhere between an hour and 3 hours, clicking any of the Norton Toolbars buttons that open options and provide multiple log in options FF crashes and when I reopen it it brings up my old tabs and at the end it brings up the FF welcome screen. In the options, it changes my opening page to the Norton Welcome page and the option to open previous tabs which was there with open default site which now it the welcome screen. Need help as have tried several fixes from the net and none so far work. Have allowed FF to reinstall the pref file, have removed hardware acceleration as well as put flash into a non protected mode and none help.
    Don't know if it is a FF or Norton issue but, it is a real issue. Please help.

    Thanks for your quick turn around. I'd be surprised if corrupt files as I only got the machine last Thursday but, it was a refurb so perhaps issues from the previous owner.
    Do have some questions as follows:
    It is a Windows 8.1 64 machine so will the fix recommended work??
    looking at the page, appears option 2 is my best bet but, won't start until I get the go for Win 8.2. Assuming this is a good fix and since I would be doing it with the system and not a program, no malware??
    As far as drivers, do have a app from HP that updates drivers and I updated everything after I got it going so should have the latest drivers and I did try alone unclicking the machine acceleration and no change there but, with the scan, might help. I have run all of the Windows updates which were quite a few with a new computer and do have Windows set to perform automatic updates so don't think I need to worry about graphic drivers??
    Your thoughts on my questions before running the scan at the elevated admin level. By the way, I am the admin so do I simply run as admin or is there a higher thing I need to do to run at High Administrator???
    Also, if after I run the scan and repair, if OK on Win 8.1 should I send your results to Norton for them to look at since almost all of the problems are with Norton and perhaps they have a fix with those issues and having running the driver fix should help them?? Also will the scan and repair indicate what was fixed and what wasn't.
    Sorry so many questions but, don't want to mess up my new machine.
    Thanks so much,
    Dave

  • How can I restore full webpages being shown when I run my mouse over the Mozilla icon on the toolbar?la

    Prior to today, when I ran my mouse over the Firefox icon on the tool bar I would get an image of whatever web page I had opened. Now, all I get is text. For example, if I had the BBC open, I could see the open web page by touching the Firefox icon with my mouse. Now all I get is test saying "BBC Player..." Whass up?

  • How can I call my ipad 2 on facetime with my Iphone 4s with the same Apple ID ?

    Hey'
    I'm french so i will try to explain my problem in English.
    I've got an Iphone 4s and an Ipad 2, and I want to use Facetime between then.
    But I've the same apple ID on both devices..
    And when I call my iphone the app just open and close 2 seconds after.. Same thing with my ipad.
    What can I do ?
    Thanks !

    I don't believe this can be done since your using the same apple id.  It would be like calling your own phone number and getting a busy signal.
