How to instal iOS5 in another older iPad?

How to install iOS5 on older iPad?

If you are using iOS 4 (or earlier) there is no Software Update in Settings. That feature was first added in iOS 5.
To update you will have to connect your iPad to iTunes on a computer (preferably the one you sync with and backup to).
See here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4972
Note that, if you really have an iPad 2 as shown in your tag line, you can only update to iOS 6.1.

How to install ios5 beta dmg on iphone 4?

Hello
i have paid for the developer account, and i got my permission to download the ios 5 beta and also itunes 10.5. So i did that and i downloaded itunes and installed it. no problems. I downloaded also tje ios5 for my iphone 4. But here the problems begin, i have a dmg file with ios 5 and not a ipsw file.
So what can i do .....
Thx a lot for your help

For god boys!!!!
His question is so simple!!!!
It's not about iOS 5!!!!
It's about how to install beta OS via iTunes...
Look fkaulmann,
1. Double click on .dmg file. Copy the .ipsw to your file system.
2. Open iTunes, connect your device, hold option key (alt) and click on "restore", a window will comes up, select the .ipsw file.
3. Follow the instructions of the iOS you are attempting to install.
Just it.
But, as the Michael said... for more details about Apple beta releases, go to the Dev Forum.

I just installed iOS5 on my Ipod Touch and there is a gray bubble when I try to choose an album or song, how do I get by this to make my choice or how do I use the bubble?

Thanks, Stedman, that is helpful (I seem to be able to get past the "bubble" somewhat) but it is still there....I have, in the past, stroked across the music of choice and that was it...now the "bubble" with the choice name comes up and if I go all the way across I get a delete choice? Can you help with this also or where would I go to research changes (I see there are 200!!!) in this upgrade?

How to install ios6 apps on ios5, iam using ipad1

how to install ios6 apps on ios5, iam using ipad1

You don't. You need to get iOS 5 compatible Apps. You can however try to get older compatible versions of apps that currently require iOS6.
Download the App you want to a computer running iTunes or an Apple device that can support the new version using the Apple ID from your iPad.
Then go to the Purchased tab in the App Store App and look for the App there. You'll get a prompt that the App is not compatible, but it should offer to download a compatible version.

Go back to that article, ignore the instructions for updating it wirelessly, scroll down, and follow those for updating it from iTunes on a computer.

How do I retrieve my music and apps after installing iOS5 on my ipod touch?

After 'backing up' my ipod, I was prompted to install iOS5 onto my ipod. I then proceeded to install. I knew iit would take some time to install new OS, so I let it be. After about an hour or so I came back to check on my ipod, low and behold, it had none of my music and apps. I still don't understand what my feelings are right now. But I suspect that tomorrow I will be devastated if I cant get my music back. I dont have half of this stuff on my computers. Did I somehow back up 'all' my music somewhere? I don't know. I just spent a half hour waiting for Apple Support with no answer, waiting on my cell phone no less, to answer my inquiry about my missing music and apps but couldn't wait anymore. Does anyone know what the resolution is? Is all my music gone?
Anyways any help would be great.
Will be searching for info on the forums.

Ok so apps can be restored by going to update apps in ipod. individually, but restored nonetheless. My music on the other hand...

IPad 1 got very slow after installing ios5

After I have installed ios5 my iPad 1 got very slow. I press the settings button and wait for 5 seconds to appear.
Any ideas?

First, we need to accept that the iPad will be slower under iOS5 than iOS4. This is a standard situation, caused by each iOS upgrade being optimized for the newest iDevices – which have much faster processors. (You should see how slow an iPhone 3G is under iOS4!)
Mine isn't dreadfully slow, but it is slower than under iOS4. Apple's ideal solution would be to upgrade to the iPad 2; assuming that (like me) you don't want to do this, the best way to speed up the iPad is to do a soft reset. (This has helped me in almost every situation where the iPad--or my iPhone--got very slow, or had too many crashes.) Hold down the Home button and the Sleep button until the screen first goes black, then shows a white apple symbol. It takes a while to finish resetting, but it clears most of the data that cause the slowdown.
To my surprise, by the way, it appears that shutting the device off (hold down the power button until the "slide to power off" bar appear, then slide) does not do as complete a job resetting the iPad as the soft reset.

I've installed ios5 on my iphone4 and now all the applications (app store

Hello,
I've installed iOS5 on my iphone 4 and now all the applications (app store, books..) are in deutsch instead of french
even if all my parameters are in french. I leave in Swiss, french part. Thanks for your help.

I understand. The Swiss Apple website offers a choice of French or German and you can download a French version of the Swiss iTunes to your computer, but I do not know how you can change the language of the app on your phone. You can of course choose apps and download them to your computer, then sync them to your phone. http://www.apple.com/chfr/itunes/
Perhaps somebody here from Switzerland has an answer?

Hello Apple_Addict22,
Thank you for your question. iOS 7 requires iTunes 11.1. First, I recommend trying to obtain the update by going to the iTunes menu and selecting Check for Updates.

If you continue to get the message that iTunes is up to date, you can download the latest version of iTunes here:
Download iTunes

Once the file downloads, double click on the installation file that downloaded to initiate the installation.
Best,

Uninstall & install iOS5 on iPhone4

I have an iPhone4 having size of 8GB. When I connect iPhone to iTunes, It shows me total space 6.37 GB.
Q.1 ) If apple says 8GB, where is the remaining space then ? It should specify somewhere that 1.73 GB being used by iOS system. Why is not specified anywhere ?
Q.2 ) My iPhone shows 2.3GB space as OTHERS ! I don't understand this others space & apple has not specified what OTHERS mean !
Q.3 ) Is there a way to clean up OTHERS space ?
I tried many different ways, I removed all of my audio/sounds from my iPhone & synced.
I removed my MAIL account associations & I removed most of the apps from my iPhone to recover the Space.
But OTHERS is yet allocated to 2.3 GB. very ****** & iOS itself taking 1.73 GB
So, this way, Half of the iPhone memory is being used somehow without my knowledge.
I am allowed to use only 4GB of my iPhone. Why the h--l is this ? I feel pretty bad about this.
I am wondering, If I remove entire iOS5 & install iOS5 on my iPhone4 again, that should work.
I have an iPhone4 which is Factory UNLOCK piece. Neither jailbroken nor unlocked by any illegal activities.
My iPhone is PURE phone as Apple gave to me. ( Virgin one )
Q.4 ) How do I completly clean up my iPhone ( As I do system Format on my PC ) ?
Q.5 ) How do I re-install iOS5 ? ( Please I don't need any updates here. I am very much happy with iOS5 only )
Eagerly waiting for replies.
Hoping for favorable response.
Thanking you all in advance.

Protip: Storage capacity in technology always refers to the actual unformatted/raw capacity. Actual formatted capacity will decrease storage space differently depending on the file system.
Even on bandwidth and net speeds advertised by ISPs or carriers, they usually are theoretical speeds that exclude all sorts of real world variables.
Back on topic:
The iOS partition is approximately 1.1GB on an iPhone 4. (8GB-1.1GB) I've got an iPhone 4.
Let's assume the disk format is eating 400MB. (6.9GB-400MB =6.5GB)
iOS settings/user profile data/ and other misc data usually accumulates on the phone at 30-80MB if it's healthy. Let's take the raw figure before installation of any apps as 6.3GB. So it's fair.
On your other point, excessive other data is usually a result of incomplete installation of apps that are not purged out of the storage, you can call it a bug.
Sometimes "Others" can be ridded through
Restarting the phone.
Installing another iOS app.
Syncing with its host computer probably up to 10 times.
If nothing works, it's unfortunate that your computer backup file might have also stored the "Other" junk as part of your data.
To start afresh,here's a discussion which probably will help.
In the future, if you're installing an app, try to download an app only when you're at a stable connection to prevent recreation of "other" junk.
"Other" data (iPhone) - How do I remove this junk?
