How to download ios 5 from pcs computer

how do I download to ipad 2 the ios 5 software from pcs computer

when you connect your device, select the iPad in iTunes.  The main page has two buttons under the picture of your iPad, that say update, or restore.  Trying clicking update, and iTunes will take care of the rest.
If you manually downloaded the iOS software, in iTunes, shift-click on "restore" (MAKE A BACKUP BEFORE YOU DO!) and select the file (.ipsw).  Again, iTunes should take care of the rest.
You'll be asked later in the process if you want to set this up as a new iPad or restore from a backup.  If you don't restore this from a backup, all the user settings you previously configured will be lost.
Hope this helps.

  • HT201272 This article doesn't say how to download past purchases from your computer/

    They have conveniently left off instructions on how to download past purchases fron the iTunes store.

    ??? That article has pretty clear instructions on how to redownload anything that is redownloadable (audiobooks are not, but that is the only thing).  The istructions for the iTunes store on an iOS device are the third link down from the top, and from a computer the last link.
    What exactly is missing?

  • How to download MP3 songs from my computer harddrive to IPOD?

    This a used IPOD that I just bought.
    I restored it to its factory settings by using Itunes software.
    Now I am trying to download some MP3 songs from my computer so that I can listen to them using the IPOD. I don't even know this is possible. I used Windows Explorer and droped the songs to IPOD 'drive'. IPOD says 'no music' and I can't play any of the songs using IPOD, but the songs are showing up in the Windows Expolorer. I can play them using Windows media player also. What am I doing wrong?

    You need to use iTunes to put music on the iPod so that it can be played.

  • How to Download Purchased Audiobook from Work Computer

    Hey everyone!
    I bought an audiobook on iTunes on my work computer, using my account. I would like to know how to download it on my ipod? My home computer is a MAC, but my work computer is a PC. When I plug my ipod into my work comuter it askes if i want to re-configure my ipod to window. I clicked ok, and nothing seemed to happen.
    Thanks a lot!!

    If you want to use your iPod on Mac and Windows, it needs to be Restored on iTunes for Windows.
    Mac can read Windows formatted disks but Windows cannot read Mac formatted disks.

  • I can't download the app '12 days of christmas'. The app details say that you don't need to use a device and that you can "download the gifts from your computer". How do I do this?

    I don't have the latest ipod touch and therefore can't download the app '12 days of christmas'. The app details say that you don't need to use a device and that you can "download the gifts from your computer". How do I do this, as I know its not possible to diretly use an app on a computer?
    Thanks

    Go to the Purchases Tab in the App Store and Accept the apps.
    Then you'll be able to update them.

  • How to add .m4r files from my computer to my tones in iPhone 6 iOS 8.1.1 ?

    How to add .m4r files from my computer to my tones in iPhone 6 iOS 8.1.1 ?

    You've sycned other content via your computer's iTunes to the phone ?
    You can sync photos to your phone via your computer's iTunes : connect your phone to your computer, click on its icon towards the top left of the iTunes screen, and select Photos on the left-hand side of the screen :
    Photos that you sync from a computer can't be deleted directly in the phone's Photos app, instead they are deleted by not including them in the next photo sync - so you will need to include all photos that you want from your computer in each photo sync.

    I bought a new Ipod Nano and purchased songs on Itunes.  How do I download the songs from the computer to my new ipod

    Connect the iPod to your computer and select it on the left-hand sidebar of your computer's iTunes (if you have iTunes 11 on your computer then you can enable the sidebar via option-command-S on a Mac, control-S on a PC), and then on the right-hand side you can use the Music tab to select which of your music that you want on the iPod.

  • How do i recover music from old computer. its broken and i did not have the music backed up on any other hard drive.

    how do i recover music from old computer. its broken and i did not have the music backed up on any other hard drive.

    OK, well, seems like you need to lose the attitude if you really want help.
    There are several ways to get music from iTunes on your computer to your device.
    The easiest is to sync directly with iTunes by connecting your device to your computer, selecting the device, setting up your Profile pages, and then clicking the Sync button to sync.
    First you want to open iTunes and under Preferences>Devices, make sure that you are not syncing automatically:
    Make sure that box is checked.
    Then follow the instructions in the article below for either your computer or your Mac to set up your Profile pages and to sync your music via iTunes:
    WINDOWS IOS SYNC ITUNES 11
    iTunes 11 for Mac: Set up syncing for iPod, iPhone, or iPad
    You can also directly download music from iTunes to your device by going to the iTunes icon, going to "Purchased", and selecting the items that are not on your device that show a little cloud next to them. Click on the cloud and the music will download.
    You might also want to familiarize yourself with your iPhone 5 manual. It has all the answers you cannot find on Google or by trying to just do it by brute force. If you would take a little time to read about your device and how to use it, you might not be so frustruated and unnecessarily snarky to people who are trying to help:

  • How to transfer icloud data from old computer to new computer

    how to transfer icloud data from old computer to new computer

    The iCloud data will be on the new computer as soon as you download the iCloud control panel and sign into iCloud with your iCloud ID. What you see in iCloud is stored in iCloud, so it really doesn't matter what computer you are on. Once that computer is signed onto iCloud and the iCloud options are selected, you have full access to all of that information, and much of it is pushed back to your computer.
    If you are referring to the data in an iCloud backup created by an iOS device, then that is not something that would be on a computer at all.
    Does that answer your question? If not, post back with more info about what you are looking to find out.

  • How can i copy apps from one computer to another?

    how can i copy apps from one computer to another?

    You don't mention which operating system you have so it's difficult to provide an answer since the mac and Windows stores the files differently.
    The other thing you can do is just re-download the apps from the iTunes Store. Just login to the iTunes Store on the other computer using the same Apple ID. On the right-hand side of the iTunes Store page you will see a 'Purchased' link. Clicking on that will take you to a page that will list your past purchases which you can re-download to the new computer.

  • Is it possible to download iOS  5 from one iMac and not get them totally wiped of apps and stuff. We have an iPad each and a communal email address and an iCloud address each. One iPad now is totally screwed up.

    Is it possible to download iOS  5 from one iMac on two ipads and not get them totally wiped of apps and stuff. We have an iPad each and a communal email address and an iCloud address each. One iPad now is totally screwed up.

    Thank you for your reply.
    I am somewhat new to iOS and OS having grown up with DOS and Windows. I am not familiar with IMAP and iCloud and I am not even sure which types of servers my various emails use.
    The problem I would anticipate with iCloud is that (I assume) it would limit my access to data (including mail) on the iCloud to when I happen to be logged onto the internet. I also assume(?) that large files (photos etc.) would require some time to download whenever I wish to access them from whichever device I happen to be using (I hope I am wrong about this).
    I have kept my devices to 500gb - 1TB for OS and 32gb - 128gb for iOS but since I have pretty slow WiFi (shared with DirecTV Whole Home and Netflix streaming) it is my impression that iCloud might be quite limited due to data transfer times.
    Perhaps a factor would be that I have 2 DSL lines and my main DSL line is connected to two wireless routers (to also provide WiFi in a metal building that blocks WiFi and Cellular signals)
    I may be totally wrong in my assumptions regarding iCloud. My mail is not so urgent that I need access to it instantly and I could wait until I had internet access or I can get it on my iPhone. My main concern with iCloud would be my data files (Word, Pages, Excel, Numbers etc.).
    On the other hand, if I wanted to keep my 10,000 emails that would take up a lot of iCloud memory and I don't know how to measure how much storage it would take or how to move Hotmail or even iCloud mail to iCloud.
    It may take me some time to figure this out.
