How can i update my ipad 2 to version 5 without deleting my apps?

Hi, i have recently formated my laptop and my itunes got deleted. I reinstalled itunes and connected my ipad with it. It told me that it does not recognise my ipad that it is connected with another itunes. As it said, i sync my ipad n my music got deleted. Now itunes wants me to updat to version 5 and i really want to do it n Itunes dont allow me to update to version 5 unles i delete all my apps. Could any1 help me not to delete apps n install the version 5. i am struggling, it would be grateful thank you.

Transfer the purchases from the iPad to your iTunes library. First turn off auto sync in iTunes.
Launch iTunes on the PC, from the iTunes menu - go to Edit>Preferences>Devices>Prevent iPods, iPhones and iPads from automatically syncing. Check that box at the bottom of the window. Quit iTunes.
Connect your iPad to the PC and launch iTunes. Right click on the iPad name on the left side of iTunes and select Transfer Purchase. This will transfer the apps to your iTunes library on the PC.
Make sure the computer/iTunes library has been authorized - when iTunes is running - from the menu at the top go to Store>Authorize this computer.

  • How can I update my iPhone 4 to iOS 6 without deleting all of my data.

    I have not updated my iPhone's software since I bought it in the summer of 2011, so I would like to do so in order to access new features and new apps. The computer on which I had all of my files backed up broke and I am unable to remove any of my files from its hard drive. I know that I can transfer purchases to a new computer and sync it that way, but I have many non-purchased songs from CD's and such, as well as photos, that I don't want to lose. I'd rather have old software than have all of my stuff deleted, so is there a way to pull my nonpurchased items from my iPhone to iTunes or is there nothing I can do?
    Thank you so much for your help!

    This will help, even though it isn't exactly the same as your situation: Syncing to a "New" Computer or replacing a "crashed" Hard Drive

    Hi glhiker,
    I understand that you may be having some issues with your ability to update your iPad. Here is an article that references your error code and can help you take some steps to resolve it:

    Check your security software
    Related errors: 2, 4, 6, 9, 1000, 1611, 9006. Sometimes security software can prevent your device from communicating with either the Apple update server or with your device.
    Check your security software and settings to make sure that they aren't preventing a connection to the Apple servers.

    I don't have the "software update" in general setting .. How can I update my iPad ?

    Software updates to iOS can only be done from the iPad when you have iOS 5. You will need to update through iTunes to get the latest version, after which you will be able to update directly from the iPad if you wish.

    If you are on 4.3.5 then you can only update via your computer's iTunes. What happens when you try, do you get any errors, have you got the latest iTunes on your computer ?

  • How can i stay logged in on iPhone Skype after i delete the app from the 'current' apps?

    How can i stay logged in on iPhone Skype after i delete the app from the 'current' apps?
    Thanks for ur answers !

    You are correct. There is no other way to recover this material, and yes it would have been a good idea to backup the iPhone prior to the restore. Remember that a restore to a previous date deletes everything on the device and puts it back to the state of things on the date you choose. The texts and contacts would be gone. Did you possibly sync the contacts with a supported application on the computer? That is the only other way to recover contacts. They are designed to be synced with a supported application on the computer, or with a cloud service such as iCloud, Google or Yahoo.
