  • Hi to all,how to make back up if i want update my ipad ti ios5,then how to make update to ios5?

    Hi to all,how to make back up if i want update my ipad ti ios5,then how to make update to ios5?

    Update your iTunes to the most recent version.
    Using the cable, connect the iPad to the computer and iTunes. It should tell you that there is an update to the iOS available and ask you if you want to download it.
    iTunes will back up your iPad as part of this - make sure to let iTunes do it.
    After iTunes installs the new OS, it will restore the backed-up data and media. Make sure to let your iPad do this before unplugging it - it's not clear that the iPad is being restored, but if all goes well it will be.

    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.

  • HT2305 How do I update to iOS5 without losing all of my apps?

    How do I update my iPhone to iOS 5 without losing all of my apps?

    Yes, provided the old apps are compatible with the new OS.  BTW, double-check before in the Apps section of the iTunes library to be sure all your apps are listed there just in case. I usually sync twice just to be certain there is a backup.
    I also maintain backups of the computer just in case. You should have a current backup.

  • We have the enterprise system on our office computer and I have one iphone and 2 ipads. One iphone and one ipad2 is mine and the other is my wife's.  We share a common password for the ipads. How do I update to ios5?

    I think this is rather complicated and I really need some help. I am the pastor of the church and we have the enterprise system.  We use an exchange server if that means anything. I began with an iPhone 4 that connects with our system. And now I have to iPads. One of the iPads is registered in my name and the other in my wife's.
    I'm confused as to how to update to IOS 5. Do I keep my password is the same for both my wife's and my iPad?
    Also because we are on the enterprise system, my notes from Outlook do not wirelessly connect from my work computer to my iPhone and to my iPad. I have been told that they have not worked this out yet. Will this change with the new operating system?
    It all is very confusing to me and I would appreciate some help. Thank you very much

  • HT4972 How can I update to IOS5?

    At the moment my computer is broken and I can't update using my computer. I have an iPhone 4s and the update option used to be in my settings but it's not any more. Is there any way at all I could update?

    See the chart below to determine whether you can upgrade your device and what you can upgrade to. If you do not have a Software Update option present on your iDevice, then you are trying to upgrade to iOS 5 or higher. You will have to connect your device to your computer and open iTunes in order to upgrade.

  • TS1702 How do I update to ios5 so I can install abc player

    What are the steps to update the operating system to ios5

    You can only update iOS 6 on the iPad 2 as that is the version that is 'signed' by Apple.
    To update, connect the iPad to your computer's iTunes and copy any purchases off the iPad to your computer via File > 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 by right-clicking the iPad 'Device' on the left-hand side of iTunes and selecting 'Backup'.
    Then start the update by selecting the iPad on the left-hand side of iTunes, and on the Summary tab on the right-hand side clicking the Check For Updates button
    Updating to iOS 5+ : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4972
    Updating to iOS 6 will remove the built-in YouTube app and the Maps app will change.

    My ipad2 settings page menu does not have an 'update software' on it. How do I update to ios5?

    The update to iOS 5 is a lengthy process.  Your entire device is being backed up, then wiped, then the new OS is installed, then your apps, etc., rebuilt on the device.  If you have a lot apps, etc., on your device it will take a long time to update.
