How to upgrade ios 5 in ipad 2

How to upgrade ios 5 in ipad 2?

Not sure whether you want to upgrade to iOS 5 or you have iOS 5 and want to upgrade from it, but you can only update to the highest iOS 6 version that a device supports, which for an iPad 2 is 6.1.3. If you already have iOS 5+ then you should have a Settings > General > Software Update option on it for direct update update on it, otherwise you can only update via your computer's iTunes.
To update via your computer, connect the iPad to your computer's iTunes and copy any purchases off the iPad to your computer via File > Devices > 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 sidebar of iTunes and selecting 'Backup' (on iTunes 11 you can enable the left-hand sidebar via option-command-S on a Mac, control-S on a PC)
Then start the update by selecting the iPad on the left-hand sidebar, and on the Summary tab on the right-hand side clicking the Check For Updates button

How to install iOS 6 on iPad 2

How to install iOS 6 on iPad 2?

I see. Sorry. I didn't understand what you were asking.
The way that you decide to update is up to you. I plan updating via WiFI myself and not use iTunes. You have the choice. If you decide to update with iTunes, you may want to temporarily disable your firewall and antivirus software until the update completes. But you can update over WiFi if you want to do so.
Remember that millions of people world wide will want to update their devices and the servers may be very busy today.

An iPad 1 can only be updated to iOS 5.1.1.
If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily. Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update.

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. 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 via File > Devices > Back Up
Then start the update by selecting the iPad on the left-hand sidebar, and on the Summary tab on the right-hand side clicking the Check For Updates button

How to upgrade iOS on iPhone when disk iTunes is installed on is virtually full

I'm trying to upgrade iOS on my iPhone. The PC that I run iTunes on is old and as such the C: has only a 40GB capacity and us virtually full. I have a symlink set up which points the default iTunes backup folder at a secondary, larger internal hard drive and I can back up my iPhone without any issue and not rake up space on C: (thanks to the symlink). However, when I try to upgrade from iOS 4.3 to the latest, iTunes complains that I have no free space and the I should free up 5GB which I can't do! I've got 1TB of available space on my network but iTunes only looks at the local disk when upgradin, giving me a scary "you'll lose all you data" type message when I try to progress. What are my options here? Uninstall iTunes and reinstall it somewhere with more space? Back up my iPhone, let iTunes wipe my data then restore from backup? Get Apple to fix iTunes? Sell everything and go and live in a commune with no electricity? Anyone got any idea? Thx

OK, I took your advice and tried to delete some of the 'crap', uninstalled a bunch of things, got Windows to 'Compress old files' and woohoo I now have 8.3GB free.
Tried the upgrade again and there's no diskspace warning, however, iTunes throws a 1303 error when trying to backup and gives a 'Continue and you'll lose everything' message.
I can backup without a problem using the Backup Now button in iTunes, but when it tries to do it as part of the upgrade it fails.
So I'm back to square 1 really after hours of harddrive 'optimisation'. Any idea how I celar the 1303?
Thanks

How to download iOS 7 onto iPad 2 16 GB?

Anyone else having issues with installing iOS 7 on iPad 2 16 GB? It gets all the way through the download, screen goes black with apple symbol, progress bar at bottom of Apple symbol, steadily increases and then halfway into the reboot, it jumps back to iOS 6.1.4. I have enough available space for the upgrade. What gives?

If you read through the thousands of postings on here since the ios 7 upgrade came out, you might want to reconsider upgading at this point. While millions have probably successfully downloaded it, millions have been having problems after their download. I suggest you wait until after Apple fixes some of the problems. That way you'll at least have a working ipad.
Hope this helps.

How to "upgrade" iOS 4.2 ?

Hi All,
Let me give brief description about my problem -
My iPod Touch details
Type                          - Apple iPod Touch
Generation                - 2nd generation
Current iOS Version - 2.2.1(5H11)
Model                       - MA627LL
Year of Purchase      - 2008-09
Problem / Issue
Initially when i brought this ipod touch , i was happily enjoying the fun from "itune-store" like downloading various apps/games/music so on...
But now i'm NOT able to download anything from itune-store to my ipod, and it throws an error while sync'ing like my iPod touch was NOT compatible with current iOS version.
So i think need you upgrade iOS newer version.
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1061 --> In this blog , it's clearly states that i'm eligible for iOS 4.2 upgrade
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2052?viewlocale=en_US --> In this blog , it states that who own 1st generation have to purchase iOS 3.1 , BUT people                                                                                             who own 2nd generation can get/upgrade to iOS 4.2 for FREE.
Now the question is -
1) How to get/upgrade to iOS 4.2 ?
2) Any steps?
3) Do i need to purchase , or can i get it for FREE as it says in the APPLE site ?
Ways that i tried already -
I tried like connecting to itune-store , and by clicking on "check updates" - it shows as my iPod tocuh was update-to-date.
So how do i upgrade to new version now?
Any help please?
Let me know if need any information regarding my iPod tocuh..
Thanks in advance.
- kiran
