How does ipad mini upgrade iOS ?

My ipad mini won't install ios7 until I "make room". Why doesn't it remove the older version first? I've never had this occur with my iPhones- just the mini. I've got it down to bare bones and it still wants me to remove stuff.  Suggestions???

In order to download the new iOS your iPad has to be running. What's running is the old version of the iOS. So that cannot be removed first.
Copy off photos to your computer and delete all stuff like that from your iPad. You can put some of that back after the update.
I also recommend having plenty of free space for the iOS to run efficiently. 15-20% free space is a good idea.

  • TS1398 How to connect to wireless with iPad Mini running iOS 6.x.x.

    Recently purchased iPad Mini which iOS 6.0.1 installed.  It would not connect to the Internet over wifi at my home.  I run two wifi networks in the house.  One uses a Linksys WRT120G router (SSID:wremlc) and one using a combo DSL Modem/Router from CenturyLink (SSID:centurylink).  iPad would not connect to either network.  (As an aside my iPhone 4s amd my wife's iPhone 4 have been connected to the Linksys network (prior to upgrade to iOS 6.0.1.  They still connect to the wremlc network but will not connect to the centurtlink network.)  The Linksys router has been updated to the latest firmware and it is running WPA/WPA-2 security with AES/TKIP encryption and automatic channelling.  After tinkering with the settings in the CenturyLink router and changing from automatic channling to Channel 6, I was able to the iPad mini but neither iPhone.  I am afraid to change it on the wremlc network for fear that my iPhone will no longer connect.  Took iPad back to Verizon Store and could not connect to any of their secure wifi networks.  I am able to connect to public unsecure wifi networks in places like McDonalds, Panera and Starbucks.  I am also able to connect to some private secure wifi networks at some of my firend's homes but not all. When I try, for example, at my in-laws house (they use a Linsys WRT120N router), it tries to join and I get a mesaage that says "Unable to join network "chandler".  Same for my iPhones and my daughters iPad.  I thought iOS 6.0.2 had fixed the wifi problems but clearly they have not.  Don't think its a Linksys problem as my iPhones connect just fine but that could because its a remembered network that was originally connected before iOS 6.0 came out.  Sorry for the epistle but any help would be appreciated.

    Some things to try first:
    1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
    5.  Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
        •    Launch Settings app
        •    Tap on Wi-Fi
        •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
        •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

    Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.

  • Should I upgrade my iPad mini from iOS 6.1.3 to iOS 7.1.1? Thanks in advance

    Should I upgrade my iPad mini from iOS 6.1.3 to iOS 7.1.1? Thanks in advance

    No, it's not true. If someone were to buy it from you then it would have to be completely restored as new at which time only the then current version of iOS can be installed. Having an older version on it now makes it worth no more than if it had 7.1.1 installed.
    When you sell or give it away the new user cannot use anything on the device that is registered to your Apple ID. That's everything. You will need to turn off Find My Phone, remove the phone from your @icloud.com Find My Phone, then erase it completely. Unless you do that the device is useless to another owner. Erasing it will result in having the new iOS version installed.

  • How do I sync my PC with ITunes 11.1 to my IPad Mini with IOS 7.02?

    How do I sync my PC with Itunes 11.1 to my Ipad Mini with IOS 7.02? My PC tells me I can't sync as Ipad requires Itunes 11.1

    hey all....
    i too have the itunes (version 11.1.1)
    and ipad with iOS (version 7.0.2)
    Initially i had problems with syncing,
    i unistalled the itunes software alongwith the associated softwares by Apple Inc., and again downloaded the itunes from apple website, that solved my problem.
    The issue may be with the media file you are trying to sync, there are a few type of files that the itunes doesn't sync with your ipad.
    Hope this helps!!!!!
