How to connect my iPad to my laptop when it has never been connected to a device before

i need to update my iPad to the new iOS and i need more space in order to do it, i have over 3,000 photos that i dont want to use not to mention game save data that i ideally dont want to loose. it has never been connected to any other device before and i want to know in confidence that i wont loose anything. my laptop is a windows 8 (and everytime i connect something to it, it normally corrupts it)
Many thanks
and Merry Christmas

Just plug it in and you should see a window come up asking what you want to do. Then you can choose to import your photos. Game save data will be backed up with iTunes once you get that installed.

  • How do I update my husband's 3G iphone that has never been updated in 2.5 years?

    My Husband has never updated his phone since he got it in Dec 2009.  Now his internet & any devices that require 3G or WiFi do not work.  It has never been connected to an Apple ID, and never been synced with any account.  I can't seem to be able to add it to my account to update it.  Any help?
    It currently has 3.1.2
    Thanks

    Connect it to iTunes. If it doesn't automatically prompt you to update, click on the name of the iPhone under the DEVICES section in iTunes, and click Check for Updates.

  • So I have an iPad 2 for two years. Has never been dropped or in water or damaged in any way....now the volume is distorted and I get booted off the web all the time. Plus it shows and no service in top left corner. Any one have these issues?

    So I got is iPad as a gift and the same issues I had with my iPhone 4S is also happening with my iPad. Will Apple cover the problem as it lies within there updates or something. All I know I have taken perfect care of both products and volume is distorted. Can't listen to music, I get booted off the web all the time, I can't even chat with Apple icare it won't work and no service shows on top left corner. What is wrong with Apple products? I'm thinking it's time to switch! I've had to change my iPhone twice now......first time for mic not working and then camera shutter kept sticking. Same on my iPad........ I don't want to pay to get this fixed as it's not my fault this is happening...... It's software apparently?

    This really is starting to feel like a hardware issue than a software one.
    Especially if hearing noises when you connecting up your iPad for charging.
    Something happened to your iPad that has nothing to do with a software update.
    This is why I recommend that
    I can't help you any farther.
    It sounds as if you really need to take this iPad in for a repair.
    Since you are reluctant to do this, there is nothing more I can suggest to you.
    Good Luck on whatever you decide to do.

  • I could not see how to continue after upgrade to firefox 4. This has never been a problem with ast upgrades. I am finding Firefox to be very user unfriendly for non-tech people.

    I am being told that my current version of firefox is no longer protected. When I tried to upgrade to firefox 4 some time ago, the menu bar(?) was gone--no bookmarks. I set my computer back to an earlier date to get my book marks back and have been afraid to attempt this upgrade again. Firefox also appears to have tried to do the upgrade automatically and says I have incompatible add-ons. I have never had problems with previous updates. I have read negative reviews of firefox 4 and am frankly afraid of it. I hate to leave firefox and am afraid of losing my book marks as well. I find the "Help" forums etc. here extremely difficult to navigate and they seem to be aimed at people who are more tech savy than many of us are.

    #Firefox 3.5.19 which you are using is no longer supported and is not being updated for any issues, including security problems.
    #The Menu Bar (File, Edit, View, History, Bookmarks, Tools, Help) was replaced in Firefox 4 by the "Firefox button" in the upper left corner
    #*You can turn the Menu Bar back on by doing one of the following in Firefox 4:
    #**click Firefox button, click Options, click Menu Bar to select it
    #**HOLD down the ALT key while pressing the keyboard letters VTM
    #**right-click on an empty space in the Navigation Toolbar, then click Menu Bar to select it.
    #Some information about Firefox 4 changes:
    #*https://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/features/
    #*there is a link "watch the video" under '''''Improved Interface''''' on the above page
    #You can make Firefox 4 look more like prior versions: http://www.computertechtips.net/64/make-firefox-4-look-like-ff-3-6/
    Your bookmarks should be safe during the upgrade; they are in a separate place on your hard drive. You should keep them backed-up in case of any problems with your system. See:

    Hello,
    My iPad 2 has never been "paired" with any PC.  My one and only PC is corrupted and will not, after many many attempts, download iTunes.  When I turn on my iPad it insists that I connect to my iTunes.  How can I avoid this and just get the iPad to work like normal?  Any help is much appreciated

    You cannot do anything with the iPad until you do as instructed by the iPad and connect to iTunes on a computer.
    You probably need to restore the iPad and the only way to do that is via iTunes on a computer.
    Take it to an Apple Store and ask for help at a Genius bar or take it to a friend's house that is running iTunes on their computer and try to restore it.
    You will lose all of your data and settings now because you never backed the iPad up in the past.

    ‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
    Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
    I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
    Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
    1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
    2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
    3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
    4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
    5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
    6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
    7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
    8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just canceling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
    If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.
     Cheers, Tom

    You can only update the iPad to iOS 5.1.1and you cannot go any higher. If you never updated that high, you can do so by using iTunes on your computer. You will have to connect the iPad to your computer with the cable and launch iTunes
    You can read more here. Make sure that you read the section about using iTunes. The article starts off with using the Settings on the iPad for WiFi updates. That only works with the iPad 2 and higher that is already running iOS 5.

  • HT4113 My Ipad has never been synced with a computer or via itunes on a computer only set up by my apple id, when it asked to connect to itunes i turned it off, when turning it on again it asked me for a passcode. I never set up a pascode, now I am locked

    I have just bought a new IPAD. It has never been synced with a computer or via itunes on a computer, I tried to set it up using my APPLE ID and mobile number, it prompted me to connect to ITUNES. Unsure of what to do next, I closed it and took it to work. When I opened it one hour later it prompted me for the passcode. I never set up a passcode. I tried various combinations (my husband iphone, birthdates, kids passcodes etc) to see if somehow it had linked itself to their passcode. I called the shop I bought it from and was advised it would cost me 70 dollars to have it reset. I feel completely devastated that I haven't even been able to use the IPAD and I am already stuck. Can anyone offer some solid advice?

    Place the iPod in recovery mode and then restore. For recovery mode:
