How do I update the operating software to current version. I have 1st generation ipad

Hi - how do I update to current operating system. I have 1st generation iPad.
Thanks

What version of iOS do you currently have on it : Settings > General > About > Version ? The first gen iPad only supports up to iOS 5.1.1, you can't install iOS 6 or 7 on it.
If it's on iOS 5+ but not 5.1.1 then you should be able to update to 5.1.1 directly on it via Settings > General > Software Update. If it's on iOS 4 then you can only update via your computer's iTunes. But before you do an update take a backup.
To update via a computer, connect the iPad to your computer's iTunes and copy any purchases off the iPad to your computer via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases. You may also want to copy photos and any important documents off the iPad as well e.g. via the file sharing section at the bottom of the device's apps tab when connected to iTunes, via wifi, email, dropbox etc - they should be included in the backup, but it's best to have a copy of them outside of the backup just in case. You can then force a backup of the iPad via File > Devices > Back Up.
Then start the update by selecting the iPad on the left-hand sidebar, and on the Summary tab on the right-hand side clicking the Check For Updates button

How do I update the operating system in an iPad2?

How do I update the operating system in an ipad2?

I suggest that you don't, the new operating system stinks. But if you want too, go to settings, general, and then software update. If your iPad will support it, it will update.

When i try to update software for my 3rd Gen iPod Touch to version 5 i get the message 'This version of iTunes (9.2.1) is the current version'. My Mac OS is 10.4.11. How can I update the iPod software?

The later iOSs requires at least OSX 10.5.8 for the Mac. You need iTunes 10.5 but 10.4.11 only goes to 9.x.. 10.5.8 is a paid upgrade.
Are you sure that you have a 3G iPod? If it is 8 or 16 GB it is a 2G and those can only go to 4.2.1 (also requires 10.5.8 or later). A 32 GB can be either 2G or 3G. To identify yours:

How do I update the iOS software on iTunes for Windows

Hi all.
The battery life in my phone was decreasing very quickly to the point where I have turned it off with 100% at night, and wake up in the morning to have it at 0%. So yesterday, after making a few calls I got to this nice man who explained to me that it was not a problem with the battery, but I needed to update to the latest version of iOS (generally fixes the problem). I don't have enough space (and cannot clear it), so he suggested another option. I would have to use iTunes. First he told me to upload my data to iCloud. As I have not done it before, it took a while, and it did not work for a while. He sent me the link of what to do via email (Update the iOS software on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support) and hung up, after me thanking him. My cloud finally updated a little before 10PM GMT and I went to sleep. In the morning my battery was not dead, albeit it had only gone done by a few %. However, I still want to update to the newest software.
I have the latest version of iTunes on my laptop and so this morning I plugged in my phone to my laptop (using the computer - phone plug). However I cannot see where to select my device. My phone is not coming up in any corner, and it is not charging when it is plugged into my laptop either (I read somewhere that it should). So my question is, how do I select my device. It is plugged in but it not coming up for me. Please be as explicit as possible.
If it helps I have an iPhone 4s bought in December 2013.
Thank you!

I'm not sure if it should be here or in the iPhone usage forum.

HT1338 How do I update the Operating System for my MacBook Pro?

I currently have OS version 10.5.8. I can't get the proper plug-ins for Flash anymore because my Mac OS is too old. I've tried updating the OS, but it will not let me install it. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Upgrade Paths to Snow Leopard, Lion, and/or Mountain Lion
You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99. To access the App Store you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later installed.
Upgrading to Snow Leopard
You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard — Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
     Snow Leopard General Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
       2. 1GB of memory
       3. 5GB of available disk space
       4. DVD drive for installation
       5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
           fees may apply.
       6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and
           terms apply.
Upgrading to Lion
If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service — this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
     Lion System Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
           or Xeon processor
       2. 2GB of memory
       3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
       4. 7GB of available space
       5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
Upgrading to Mountain Lion
To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
     OS X Mountain Lion — System Requirements
       Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
         1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 7,1 or later
         2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) —
             Model Identifier 5,1 or later
         3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 2,1 or later
         5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         7. Xserve (Early 2009) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
Are my applications compatible?
         See App Compatibility Table — RoaringApps.

How do you update the iPod software?

I downloaded the update. My iPod has ver. 2.2 and the update has 2.3. I have a 2nd or 3rd gen iPod. Not the click wheel, but has the docking station. Press what I have to press and nothing updates. Any help would be appreciated.

You also need to install the Updater software by double-clicking on the file that downloads.
After you install the Updater to your PC, reboot your computer.
After rebooting, run the Updater.
Go to: Start ==> Programs ==> iPod.
It should initialize then ask you to connect an iPod.
Connect the iPod when asked (not before) and you should have two options available: Update or Restore.
-- Choose the Update option and it will update your iPod's firmware to the latest version.
-- Choose the Restore option and it will update your iPod's firmware to the latest version
b and
format your iPod's hard drive.

How do you update the iTunes software

how do you download the iTunes version 10.6.3

You can redirect <Profile>\<AppData>\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup to a folder on another drive using NTFSLink (shell ext., might only work on XP) or Junction (cmd line tool).
In essence you move the existing folder to a new location, create an empty folder where the old one used to be, then get the operating system to link the two together and silently redirect any file operation on the old location through to the new one.

How can I update the Tiger software on an IMAC G5 17" widescreen computer that was corrupted?

I bought a used IMAC G5 17" widescreen computer. It boots up, but does not go to the IMAC screen. I think it had the OS X originally.
I'm new to the MAC computer OS.
It has a 2GHZ PowerPC G5 processor
512 on-chip level 2 cache running at 2GHZ
512MB of DDR SDRAM
160GB Serial ATA hards drive
Slot loading SuperDrive (DVD+r)
17" screen
ATI Radeon 9600 graphics LCD display
built in Airport Extreme Card for wireless networking (802.11g)
built in Bluetooth 2.0 EDR
Included software MAC OS X.
I need to know the simplest steps to download a bootable DVD to upgrade the OS. If I can get the OS to work again. I'll use this for an everyday computer.
Thanks, Dean

There are no legitimate downloads of Mac OS software.
That should be modified to say There are no legitimate downloads of Mac OS software that will run with your computer.
Mac App Store downloads of 10.7, 10.8, 10.9 may be purchased directly off the Mac App Store, but they can not run on a G5, or early Intel Macs.
Now another thing to mention is, dinohhr2, you didn't say which software is included in your purchase. Some people may include 10.4.0, 10.4.3, 10.4.6
in its retail variety, and that looks like: https://discussions.apple.com/servlet/JiveServlet/showImage/102-2541-30-43244/ti ger.jpg
and does not say Upgrade, Dropin, or OEM on it. If they did, you have lucked out, and can upgrade to 10.4.11 free:

How do I update the ActiveX Flash Player to version 12.0.0.43

The Flash Player help page at http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player.html detects the following if I access it from Interney Explorer 11 (Windows 7 64-bit):
YOUR SYSTEM INFORMATION
Your Flash Version
12.0.0.38
Your browser name
Gecko
Your Operating System (OS)
Windows (Windows 7)
and informs me that I do not have the latest version of Flash Player. However, the link it provides to download the latest version (http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/) attempts to install version 12.0.0.38 again.
Is version 12.0.0.43 available for ActiveX? If so, where can I get it? If not, is there something wrong with the detection logic on Adobe's page?
Thanks, Doc.

This appears to be an issue with IE11. Internet Explorer 11 doesn't identify itself as Internet Explorer, instead it's identifying itself as 'Gecko' browser, which uses the plugin, which in turn is resulting in our detection scripts not identifying IE correctly.
Going to http://whatsmyuseragent.com/ with IE 10 on Win 7, IE is detected as Internet Explorer (MSIE 10.0):
With IE 11 on Win 7, IE is detected as a 'like Gecko' browser:
I'll forward this information to the folks who handle the detection on that page.

1. Choose About this Mac from the Apple menu to check the installed version.
2. Incremental updates are available in the Software Update pane of System Preferences or the Mac App Store's Updates tab. The source for full version upgrades varies; 10.6 through 10.8 are in the online Apple Store, and 10.9 is in the Mac App Store.

Sounds like your ipod version is too old like 2nd version. Call apple to verify. 4.2.1 is a Marker as the highest older devices can go. If itunes or your computer operating system is old or not updated it can say this is current.

How do I update the software on my Airport Express?

Hello everyone,
I have an Airport Extreme base station acting as WDS and an Airport Express station. I recently upgraded the security on the Airport Extreme base station from 128-WEP to WPA (Personal), but I don't know whether I have to do something to the Airport Express base station. It's green light is on. Do I need to do something? Also, how do I update the software in the Express? Whenever I open the Airport Admin Utility, the only thing that comes up on a scan is my Extreme base station. Any advice would be most appreciated.

yes you need to update your Airpost Express. I just went through this last week with two of my Airport Expresses. I updated my Base and my Remote's light was green but was unable to view it in Airport Admin Utility. So this is what I ended up doing and it works great.
First bring the Airport Express you are working on in the same room as your computer......just the ease of seeing what is going on with the Airport Express. Next you need to reset it.....take a paper clip and push in the little button next to the Audio port and hold in 10 seconds. Then unplug the unit wait 10 seconds and plug it back in. wait about 3 minutes and then you will need to use Airport Set Up Assistant. You will need to make sure you have WPA Personal on your Airport Express too.
don't forget to make sure you have the update firmware too.

I hope this helps.....
