  • How can I update iTunes on my ipad?

    I am unable to sync my iPad with iTunes on my lap top.
    The warning reads:
    'The ipad "xxxx's ipad' can not be used because it requires iTunes version 11.1 or later. Go to www.iTunes.com/uk to download the latest version of iTunes'
    but when I go to iTunes.com/uk it redirects to apple.com and I can not find a link to update iTunes for an ipad anywhere.
    If I'm being dense I apologise - please someone help!
    Thanks

    Correct. The iTunes App on an iDevice is not the same as the iTunes Application for a Computer.
    The message you are getting relates to Updating iTunes on your computer not your iPad.
    What type of computer do you have...?
    If a Mac...
    Click on the Apple icon.. Top left in Finder...
     > About this Mac > Version...what does it say?
    If it says OS X 10.5.8... you have Leopard. If that is the case, you need to Upgrade to Snow Leopard OS X 10.6.x
    You will then be able to Install iTunes version 11 to Sync your Device.
    Upgrading to Snow Leopard = OS X 10.6.x
    It is Not available as a download... It is a Paid Upgrade.
    Do this first...
    Check that your Mac meets the System Requirements for Snow Leopard...
    Snow Leopard Tech Specs
    http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
    If so... Purchase a Snow Leopard Install Disc...

    After the Successful Install, run Software Update to get the latest updates for Snow Leopard and iTunes.
    Be sure to make a Backup of your Current System Before Upgrading...

  • HT4972 Can I update iTunes on my iPad 2 through wifi?

    I am trying to get to the iOS5/6, but it says I need to update my iTunes.

    That doesn't make sense. You don't need to update iTunes - nor can you even update iTunes on your iPad. iTunes on the iPad is only updated when Apple releases an new or updated iOS as iTunes is included as part of the update.
    Furthermore it makes no sense that you would have to update iTunes on the computer in order to update the iPad via WiFi. If you are updating via WiFi, you don't need iTunes.
    However, you may need to update iTunes on your computer in order to use the iPad with the computer - and then update the iPad using iTunes. So update iTunes on your PC first. Then try to update the iPad via iTunes. After yo update the iPad this time, you will be able to update OTA via Wifi from the iPad settings. Settings>General>Software Update.
    You can download the latest iTunes here.

  • How to Update iCloud On My IPad and Iphone

    Hi,
    I recently changed my Apple ID e-mail and now I cannot figure out how to update it on my Ipad Mini or Iphone 5c. When I go to setting and then to ICloud it still shows my old apple ID e-mail. I am not able to delete my account from either device because it's asking for my password but I changed my e-mail and password. Is their anyone who can help me so I don't have to go into an Apple Store?
    Thank you
    Duskie

    If the old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, temporarily recreate the old ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll.  When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

  • How to  update iTunes - installation failed. iTunes 10.6 to 10.7 or 11

    How to  update iTunes - it goes through the verification process and then gives the error " installation failed". With no error codes. My Macbook Pro is running Lion 10.7.5 and I have iTunes 10.6 and need to upgrade  to 10.7 or 11. My iphone can't be used until I update iTunes

    I downloaded iTunes 10.7 and 11 from the sight and went throught the installation process on both versions and still get the "installation failed" error message at the very end.  I tried to delete iTunes from the Library after several attempts to just reinstall and got the same thing. If I try to install from the software update under the apple top left, it goes throught the whole process and gives me the "no updates were installed due to an error, contact your manufacturer".  I am running Lion 10.7.5 on my Macbook Pro. Nothing seems to work.  My iTunes works fine  but in order to get the media off of my iphone 4 running ios 6 I have to have iTunes 10.7 or later which I can't install.  Totally frustrated.

  • How can I retrieve my photos once I update itunes on my Ipad?

    How can Iretrieve my photos once I have added IOS to my Ipad 2? I really need help, it had pictures of my newborn on it prior to updating Itunes and adding IOS 6?

    Hi
    iTunes handles most of the chores with iOS, but iPhoto handles photos and Video.
    Start iPhoto, plug in the iPad. You will get an import window with various choices, such as "All" and "Selected."
    Put them into iPhoto.
    If you want to edit them, you can do that in iPhoto or another editor. You can crop and enhance in iPhoto. Originals will be untouched in an "Originals" folder. But remember, iPhoto is a powerful database, so you should not move photos out of its folders.
    If you want to have them elsewhere, select the photos and use File => Export
    From there you can decide on the size alnd location you want to put them. If you move them by hand, the thumbnails will remain in iPhoto's database, but when you click on them, you will get a grey screen.
    Enjoy!

  • Step-by-step on how to update a friend's iPad using my computer

    Recently I was asked to update my friend's iPad.   Her old computer was not usable any more!    I was very apprehansive about doing this, as I did not want to get our "stuff" mixed up and also did not want to lose any of our "stuff".
    I posted this question on the forums and a couple people replied, and even though I got some good information, I felt that it was not enough.
    So I contacted my son, who is a whiz with computers (at least I think so!) and he gave me the following very detailed instructions on how to do the update.  It went very smoothly and worked liked a charm.
    I thought I would share it, as there might be others out there that need to help someone update their iPad with OS4 to the OS5.
    Here is what my son wrote:
    Which iOS version does she have?  iPad Settings app --> General -->About --> Version
    If she already has iOS 5 or higher, then it can all be done from the iPad... it just needs a WiFi connection to download the update.  Go into Settings app --> General --> Software Update, and follow the prompts.
    If she is starting from iOS less than 5:  [Either print this email, or have it up on your iPad for quick and easy reference]
    1. Create a user account on your computer just for her so that your iTunes and iPad settings don't get mixed up with hers.
       - System Preferences --> Users & Groups --> Click the lock, and enter your name and password for that computer.
       --> Hit the [ + ] button, and create a new account with your friends name.
    2. Apple Menu --> Logout: YourName
    3. You should see either a login/password prompt, or pictures for each account.  Click or type to login to the new friend account.
    4. Start iTunes. 
    5. Store menu --> Authorize this computer...
      - enter her iTunes email and password. You should be able to figure out the email address at least from the iPad Settings screen.  (I'm not sure where exactly to find it in iOS 4... but it will be in there as the AppleID or iTunes account or something like that.  (Try Settings--> Store.)
    She'll have to know the password -- failing that, try to recover it from http://iforgot.apple.com).
    6.  Plug in her iPad
    7.  Sync.  (Say yes to any questions about copying apps and files from the iPad to iTunes).  Say no to anything about updating the software at this point.
    (This part could take an hour or more, or maybe it's the back-up, which is step 8.)
    8.  Back-up the iPad.  (In the bar on the left in iTunes, ctrl-click the iPad, and select 'Backup...'
    9.  Now, do the iOS update... in the main iPad screen in iTunes, there should be a button to trigger the update.
    10.  Keep it plugged in to your computer, and when it's done updating, do a 'Restore from Backup' (it might do it automatically).
    11.  Sync one more time for good measure...
    -- Now it should be on iOS 5.1, so all future updates can be done over the air without a computer.
    Hope this helps!

    Another way to transfer photos. You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
    Plug the USB flash drive (works the same with an SD card) into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
    Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)

  • Updated itunes to use ipad mini and itunes wont start up now?

    i have a ipad3 + iphone4 + ipod touch and just brought ipad mini pluged it into itunes then itunes says have to update to use with ipad mini so i updated it like normal restarted pc and now doesnt work try reinstalling and repairing files still didnt work any ideas?

    If anyone would like to know how to fix this, I discovered the answer.
    I have no idea what IPv6 is and I care not, but apparently now, all of a sudden, Apple makes iTunes talk to Airport Express units using IPv6. However, it didnt bother to make the Airport Express units expect this first, so iTunes can see the Airport Express, but it cant talk to it.
    Anyway, I found that you have to manually go into your Mac settings (scary stuff if you are a non technical person like me) and turn off IPv6.
    To do this, go to "Finder > Go > Utilities > Terminal"
    type
    networksetup -setv6off Wi-Fi  (hit enter)
    Then type
    networksetup -setv6off Ethernet (hit enter)
    and magically your iTunes will talk to your Airport Express units again.
    I presume at some point we will have to undo this as technology moves on and everything uses IPv6, so when that happens go into Terminal again and type
    networksetup -setv6automatic Wi-Fi  (hit enter)
    Then type
    networksetup -setv6automatic (hit enter)
    Thanks Apple for that.

  • HT4539 How to update iso 6 on iPad 2

    Can an IPad 2 be updated to iOS 6? If so, how do you do it?

    It can, and as your tagline says that you are on iOS 4.3.1 then you will need to do the update via your computer's iTunes - when you've updated you will get a Settings > General > Software Update option appear on the iPad allowing future updates to be done directly on the iPad.
    Connect the iPad to your computer's iTunes and copy any purchases off the iPad to your computer via File > Transfer Purchases. You may also want to copy photos and any important documents off the iPad 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 iPad by right-clicking the iPad 'Device' on the left-hand side of iTunes and selecting 'Backup'.
    Then start the update by selecting the iPad on the left-hand side of iTunes, and on the Summary tab on the right-hand side clicking the Check For Updates button

    iOS 6 will remove the built-in YouTube app and the Maps app will change.

  • HT4623 I cannot see sw update button in general section,pls help how to update iOS in my iPad 2

    Hi I want to upgrade my iOS to 5 in my ipad2 but I cannot see nay upgrade button in the setting section.pls help how to upgrade my iOS now

    The Settings > General > Software Update option only appears when you have iOS 5+ installed, as you have iOS 4 you can only update to iOS 7 (that is the only version that you can update to) via your computer's iTunes, as described half-way down the page that you posted from. You will need the current version of iTunes on your computer : http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Connect the iPad to your computer's iTunes and copy any purchases off the iPad to your computer via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases.

Periodically the option to update ITM in the top menu disappears.! ? Further more don't you have a sertain number of device you can add for ITM ?????

    Why wouldn't Apple warn its consumers before letting them download an update on the iphone that can't be used with their itunes??? It's infuriating!!!!!

    I believe you can get to OS X 10.6.8 on your Mac.  Here's how to purchase it:
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    You would have to purchase Snow Leopard, then do all its software updating to get to OS X 10.6.8.  At that point, your OS X version would be almost three years behind current (which is 10.8.5).
    I disagree with your assertion that Apple does not publicize which version of iTunes is required for a specific version of iOS.
