How do I upgrade from ios 5 to ios 7 on an ipad

How do I upgrade from ios 5 to ios 7 on my ipad?

Hi,
If you have an original iPad then iOS 5.1.1 is the limit due to it not having enough RAM (Memory). All others should get iOS 7.0.3.
This is accessible in Settings -> General -> Software Update.
Hope this helps!

How do you upgrade from iOS 4 to iOS 5?

How do I upgrade from iOS 4.3.4 to at least iOS 5 or 6. I have been told to do it through iTunes but have not found the app yet. I am not real good at this sort of thing and could use any advice. I changed from ATT to Consumer Cellular service and my phone will not connect to the internet unless I upgrade to at least iOS 5.

Did you click on the link that Allan Eckert provided and follow the instructions?

Hello,

If you are useing a Ipad 3 yes you can!!! BUT YOU HAVE TO DO IT THROUGH ITUNES FIRST!!! I have done this for a few people in the last couple of weeks!!!

How do I upgrade from iOS 4.3 version

I recently purchased an I phone 3 to use as basically an Ipod. I want to upgrade the iOS version to 5 so I can download some more apps. How do I go about doing that? When I plug it in iTunes tells me I have the latest possible version, I know this is not true. I have another Iphone 3 that is running iOS 5.

An iPhone 3G can't be updated past 4.2.1. An iPhone 3GS can be updated to 6.1.6.

How do you upgrade from ios 4.0.1 to 4.0.3?

I cannot download any apps, it says I need to upgrade to IOS 4.0.3. I have a iPhone 4. Thanks.

You can update to the current version (which is the only version that is 'signed' by Apple) i.e. 5.1.1
Connect the phone to your computer's iTunes and copy any purchases off the phone to your computer via File > Transfer Purchases. You may also want to copy photos and any important documents off the phone 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 phone by right-clicking the iPhone 'Device' on the left-hand side of iTunes and selecting 'Backup'.
Then start the update by selecting the iPhone on the left-hand side of iTunes, and on the Summary tab on the right-hand side clicking the Check For Updates button

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.

How do I upgrade from iOS 4 to iOS 7

I need help upgrading my iPad I connected it and how does it go to the upgrade screen? I also downloaded iTunes

If your iDevice is using a version of iOS lower than 5, you will need to use iTunes on your syncing computer to perform the upgrade. Use the Apple link below as a guide for the upgrade.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4972
Also read the instructions from the section entitled "Update your device using iTunes" at the link below.

How do I upgrade from iOS 4 to new iOS without losing my app data

Hi, I am still on iOS 4, and I understand that I need to erase my iPad before upgrading. But I don't want to lose the game data stored locally, particularly the candy crush. :) is there a way to preserve those data while upgrading?

I agree with Meg.
If you drill down in that HT4972 article you provided, you will eventually wind up on the http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4946 article which says in part (under iTunes will back up the following information):
App Store Application data including in-app purchases (except the Application itself, its tmp and Caches folder).
You should be fine.
UPDATE - Here are drill down details from HT4972:
Go to
If you are attempting to update using a Mac or PC with which you normally sync
Go to Back up your device by syncing it with your Mac or PC first
Go to iOS device backups preserve your settings, the Camera Roll (or Saved Pictures), and other important data. Learn more about what is stored in a backup.

Yes, you need to upgrade to OS 10.6.8 Snow Leopard:
Requirements for OS X 10.6 'Snow Leopard'
http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
Whilst Apple have withdrawn Snow Leopard from their stores, you can still get it from Apple by calling 1-800-MY-APPLE (if you are in the USA) and they will supply the SL DVD for $30. You can also purchase the code to use to download Lion from the same number.
If you are outside the US call your national Apple Helpline:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
If you're in the UK, use this number: 0871 508 4400
When you have installed it, run Software Update to download and install the latest updates for Snow Leopard.

How do I upgrade from iOS 4.2 GM to iOS 4.2.1 ?

I have the 4.2 GM on my iPad, but when I connect it to iTunes it says that I have the latest, which I know I don't. When I connected my other 2 iPads, they both had 3.2, they found the 4.2.1. What do I need to do to get 4.2.1 on mine? Thanks in advance.

Download the update manually from Apple's servers and install it by Option-clicking the Update button in iTunes and choosing the downloaded file.

If you have the original iPad you can go no higher than iOS 5.1.1. If you have any other model, you can only upgrade to iOS 7.1 now. Read this for more information.

Hi, I upgraded from iOS 5.1.1, to iOS 6, and it's ridiculously slow, I can't sync to my computer, (manually manage music), and all of my photos were gone. How can I get my photos back? It says restoring photos, but it's said that for two days now!

Hi, I upgraded from iOS 5.1.1, to iOS 6, and it's ridiculously slow, I can't sync to my computer, (manually manage music), and all of my photos were gone. How can I get my photos back? It says restoring photos, but it's said that for two days now!

It just does't sync. I connect it to itunes, but nothing happens. Where it says how much space I have, it's just on ebig bar that says other. I can play my music on itunes, but not when i unplug it.
All of my photos were gone, i took and saved them with my ipod.
The photo app is saying restoring.
What should i do?

I've upgraded from iOS 6 to 7.0.3 and I know that i entered the corrct passcode but my iPad 4 wont accept it. How do I reset the passcode?

I can't get into my iPad since upgrading from iOS 6 to 7.0.3
I know that I've entered the correct passcode, and iOS 7 validates it as it installs, but now I'm locked out, but wasn't intially.
How do I gain acces again? I've tethered it to iTunes but can't see anything to help.
Help please.

Restore, if iTunes will let you. Everything except the password will be restored. Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. Be forewarned that it takes a long time. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here. Since you have IOS-7, read this.

How can i Downgrade from iOS 6 beta Firmware to iOS 5.1.1 iPhone 4 A4 . After I've upgraded my machine batteries run out very quickly, so I want to Downgrade, I don't have shsh blobs

How can i Downgrade from iOS 6 beta Firmware to iOS 5.1.1 iPhone 4 A4 . After I've upgraded my machine batteries run out very quickly, so I want to Downgrade, I don't have shsh blobs

There is no reason to be running beta software, I doubt it will even still run as iOS 6 has been officially released. Or were you simply trying to be funny?
Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.
