How do I update my iPad 2, iOS 5.1 to 7.0 when there's no further update option?

I need to update to 7.0, from 5.1 on iPad 2, so that I can use all functions and download apps.....,but there's no option to update beyond 5.1 and says it's updated. Help!!!!

If it does not have a camera, then its a First generation iPad, and it cannot be updated past iOS 5.1.1.
If it does have a camera then it can be update to iOS 7.1.2. However, if there is no Software Update Option in Settings, you will need to connect the iPad to a computer running iTunes and update through there.

  • How can I sync my iPad to a computer after syncing it to the iCloud? I have the option of setting it up new, or restoring to a sync from many months ago. I dont want to lose any apps but I would like to back up on computer. No auto sync like other devices

    How can I sync my iPad to a computer after syncing it to the iCloud? I have the option of setting it up new, or restoring to a sync from many months ago. I dont want to lose any apps but I would like to back up on computer. No auto sync like other devices.

    Plug it into your computer. Tell it to sync with "this computer" instead of iCloud. You shouldn't have to remove any apps. Otherwise, you can save the app data by using i-FunBox ( http://www.i-funbox.com/ ) just go to the "devices" tab and select 'user applications' and select all of your apps and tell iFunBox to "copy to pc" you're done! You have them all backed up.

    Note that I have not tested either of these and they will not be supported by Microsoft. 
    1. Copy your new version of Silverlight.exe to C:\Program Files\Microsoft Configuration Manager\Client\i386
    (you'll have to re-distribute the client package after this).
    OR
    2. You could edit the ccmsetup.xml file with an alternative location for silverlight.exe

  • 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 Do You PROOF or Create PROOFING for DPS (in a Compliance Workflow) When There Is Interactivity?

    Hello All,
    I am stumped and would really like some help - if possible.
    I have been working with DPS since the early days, and, do not have a consistent proofing mechanism to proof Folios, Articles, or Article Pages, when there is any interactivity - MSO, outboard Links, HTML5 objects or application, et, al.
    Obviously, we use PDF (both print and interactive) for our workflow, and, at times manual printing of article pages, but, it takes a significant amount of time.
    Adobe, now that they are placing all their resources into "Adobe Publish," is not in a position to answer this question, or give any short-term help.
    SO, PLEASE, HELP!!
    If you have any answers, options, or have come up with novel workflow to work within a Compliance Workflow, your input would be GREATLY appreciated.
    Thank you,
    Lain

    Hi Bob,
    Thank you for getting back. Really appreciate your time and input.
    Like any workflow, proofing is critical. No one wants a misspelled word or utilizing images that are incorrect. This is a Compliance Workflow. "Everything" within a Folio "must" be reviewed and proofread. The problem is how to easily create proofing when there is interactivity. Currently, there is not a workflow Adobe recommends - because there is not one for DPS - and, it is not an issue for Adobe. However, those of us who work within the industry, regardless of Publication or Private DPS Publication users (We have a DPS Enterprise Account), like we are, needs to have a workable workflow. I am certain Adobe has been working with their larger Publication clients on these issues.
    Can you help me or recommend folks I might be able to communicate on this as it is becoming a real issue?
    Thank you, again, for your time and input.
    Sincerely,
    Lain

    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4623
    If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect to your computer & click on the "Update your device using iTunes".
    Tip - You may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily.  Then download and install the iOS update. After you update to iOS 5.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).

  • How do I use my iPad with Retina Display model MD514LL/A with apple tv? I see no option for airplay and I have the latest update.

    I am having trouble mirroring my ipad with my new apple tv. I don't see any options for airplay. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    Is your apple tv also up to date?
    Are they both on the wireless network, or is the apple tv using an ethernet cable?
    Reboot your wireless router, your apple tv, and your ipad, in that order.

  • How do I get my iPad with iOS 7 to recognize dropbox

    I'm trying to import pictures and videos from Dropbox to the photo library on my IPad but it's not working. It seems that my iPad is not recognizing Dropbox when I go under Privacy, Photo..... Can someone please help me ? URGENT. thank you

    Reset your device, try again afterwards.
    Device Reset (won't affect settings/data/music/apps/etc)
    1. Press and hold (& continue to hold) BOTH the Sleep/Wake button & the Home button.
    2. Continue to hold BOTH (ignoring any other messages that may show) until you see the Apple logo on the screen.
    3. Release BOTH buttons when you see the Apple logo and allow the device to boot normally.

  • How can I stop my iPad from mixing up the order of photos when I sync from my PC?

    Hi-
    I have a 1st generation iPad. I have noticed that when I sync photos from my PC (Windows 7) to the iPad (using iTunes) that the pics do not end up in the same order on the iPad that I had them arranged on my PC. Mostly this is not too much of a problem. But recently, I have a batch of photos that really need to be in a particular order. I spent a lot of time on my PC naming them in such a way that they'd STAY in the order I desire. There are about 185 of them, so this took a lot of work! How can I keep them in the order I want when I sync to the iPad?
    Thanks for your help-
    Betsy

    Hi again-
    Just as a final follow-up on this topic, I have been able to change the "date taken" property of each photo file without downloading any extra software. In the Windows Explorer, all I have to do is select the file and then I can edit the date in the properties pane at the bottom of the window. Since I have to change each file to a unique date so that I can control their order on the iPad, I have to do this all by hand anyway, so I did not spend much time looking for a software to do it.
    Just in case this might help someone else, I thought I'd post it.

  • HT201412 iPad 2, ios 7.0.2; Apple logo when cover opened requiring a reset to start iPad even after system restored through iTunes.  Same problem with Lock / Unlock off.

    This problem only started after installing ios 7.0.2 on 3 Aug 2013.  The iPad must now be switched off before closing the magnetic cover or the system freezes displaying the Apple logo.  I think the lock up occures as the cover is closed as the iPad was quite warm when I returned to use it about 2 hours later.  The battery was fully charged just prior to the upgrade, but, after a system reset to get the iPad running again, I found the previously full battery down to abt. 20%.  I have tried turning the (auto) "Lock / Unlock" off but closing and re opening the cover still reveals a black screen with the Apple logo, and the need to reset.  I restored the iPad through iTunes but the problem still remains........any ideas any one.........APPLE ???

    Thank you for your perseverence.
    Yes I am the first and only owner/user of this iPad.
    No the iPad has never been jailbroken (or dropped, knocked, dunked or sat on)
    1) All Contents and Settings erased as per: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2110
         - Problem still exists -
    2) All Contents and Settings erased as per: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5661
         - Problem still exists -
    Both of the above was conducted on a clean install with no backups restored.
    The problem ocurred immediately after the iOS 7.0.2 upgrade. I have used the iPad every day since I got it shortly after version 2 came out and it had performed flawlessly right up to this upgrade. The upgrade was done wirelessly and the battery was fully charged. The iPad was disconnected from the charger before the start of the upgrade and no problems were encountered during the upgrade. I closed the cover on completion and that appears to be when the problem started. All subsiquent restores have been through iTunes 11.1.1.11 with no reported problems.

  • How to remove update option for certain apps

    Two years ago my macbook crashed and I had to use a friends external HDD to restore my mac. It worked like a charm and I never looked back. Around a year ago I started to get prompts to update certain apps but I couldn't update those apps as It was still tied to his Itunes accounts. I recently finished school so I have no way of contacting him to get his password. Is there a way to bypass this? Or am I forced to do a complete reset? Also the computer shows up as his name which I assume was because he restored his entire computer into mine. Anyways thanks for the read and cheers. Btw I foolishly threw away the app disc and restore disc while I was cleaning my room one day.

    Basically all of the software on your Mac belongs to him and technically at this point is pirated. You should erase the HDD and restore the original version of OS X that shipped on the Mac. If that was Snow Leopard, you need your original Restore DVDs that shipped with the Mac. If it was Lion, Mt Lion or Mavericks, use OS X Recovery, likely over the internet.
