HT1222 how do I download IOS5 onto my macbook and IPad 2?

Hi, my IPad 2 has some apps that need to be updated....when I attempt to do that, the message reads you need IOS5 on IPad to complete the process.  How do I update my IPad 2 with that operating system?  thank you.

If you aren't sure you want to update to iOS 6, there are a few places that have iOS 5 available for download

Note many have been upset at Apple's new Maps application, and the fact the old Google Maps only is available via web browser.  If all your apps need just iOS 5, it may be worth while just getting iOS 5 until you've heard Apple has improved the new Maps application.

    How do I download IOS5 onto a first generation ipad?  Software Update does not appear under General in Settings on the first generation ipad.

    The Settings > General > Software Update option only appears when you have iOS 5+ installed, if you have iOS 4 then you will need to do the update via your computer's iTunes.
    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

    Am I the only one that see's the walled garden horror in that statement?
    Go to a Office type store or online and buy a copy of Windows  7 Home Basic, Home or Pro  (whatever) and stick the 64bit DVD into the computer.
    You'll have to first learn about Bootcamp  if your going to want to dual boot, it's complex and a hassle, but gives full hardware performance.
    https://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/
    Another way is to first install VMFusion, Parallels or VirtualBox and then install Windows into that, Windows runs like a file in a window on OS X. You can run Windows programs in that, but it's not as powerful as BootCamp method, but more convenient for most normal (non-hardware taxing) programs.

  • How can i download imessage onto my macbook pro?

    Hey guys, I have a macbook pro but it does not have imessage and i really would like to use it. How can i download it onto my mac?

    Ooh. This is my first Mac and came with 10.9 so I can't compare it to previous versions. I haven't had any problems though. But I am not a hardcore user.

  • How can i download iWorks onto my macbook without it asking for a serial number?

    I downloaded iWorks onto my Macbook, but when I try to open it its asking for a serial number and I can't find the serial number. What can I do?

    Then you purchased it from Apple. They will send the complete boxed set with a serial number. Whatever you downloaded is most likely just a trial version.
    If by "download" you mean how to install on the computer, then you have an installer DVD. On or in the box you received will be the required serial number. You might see the following:
    iWork '09: Serial number not required for installation of retail boxes
    iWork '09: Install disc may prompt for serial number

  • How to access same iPhoto library from MacBook and iPad without making a copy (sync option)

    I have a simple question to you guys (tried to sort it out with Apple tech support but no luck there!)
    How can I set up iPhoto in a way that I can have access to the same files from iPhoto on MacBook and from iPhoto app on iPad? I do not wish to sync files as this will create a copy of a file and also when for example you do editing of an image on Mac you want that to automatecly reflect on a file being viewed later on on iPad (and the other way around) without the need of a sync. option
    I tested this with photo stream but the problem there is that in order to make any changes to an image you HAVE to do it in the library folder you can not do it in the photostream i.e you took a pix on your iPhone, - photostream pushed it to your iPad and to your Mac, - you've desided to let's say to crop the image on Mac then you've closed that image. When then you open the same image on your iPad (or iPhone) the image is not cropped, why? becouse you've edited an image inside the iPhoto library on the Mac and didn't sync it with iPad.
    So it would be great if iPhone and Mac worked with the same library - save space and cleaner workflow!

    And again
    there is no solution today
    You can not - there is no commonality between iPhoto on the Mac and on the iPad except the name
    You can sync - you can use PhotoStream - you can not share a library - and IOS devices can not access external hard drives and if they could they can not read the contents of the iPhoto library since there is no commonality between iPhoto on the Mac and on the iPad except the nameYou can put your iPhoto library on an external drive if you wish as long as the volmne it is on is formattted Mac OS extended (journaled) - but that does not change the fact that neither the iPad nor the iPhone can access it since there is no commonality between iPhoto on the Mac and on the iPad except the nameIt really is extremely simple - you can not do it today
    Period

  • HT1222 How do I download ios5 to my I pad?

    What do I do to get the updated IOS 5 downloaded to my iPad? I've looked in settings but never has any updates....

    The ability to update on the iPad itself using wifi was added in iOS 5.
    If you have the ability to check for software updates in settings-general-software updates you already have iOS 5.

  • How do I download ichat onto my macbook pro?

    I just got a macbook pro and I have imessages, not ichat. How can I replace it or download ichat?

    HI,
    Messages is iChat+
    iChat "Stopped" at version 6 in Lion and Messages in Mountain Lion is version 7
    It will do everything iChat did/does and it does the iMessages bit as well.
    Upgrading form Lion normally has your Jabber and AIM valid IDs and Names in System Preferences > Mail, Contacts and Calendars and enabled for Messages
    They should also appear in Message Menu > Preferences > Accounts and have their "Enable this Account " box ticked.
    Buddy lists are brought to the Front (and on view) from the Window Menu > Buddies  (By Default a combined list)
    In the Preferences > General Section you can unlink them by Unticking "Show all Accounts in One List".
    The iMessages account takes an Apple ID and does not have a Buddy List
    The Messages Window is a interface and tabbed Chat window.
    Click the New Message icon top left
    Then the Blue + icon top right that appears
    Select Contacts
    Select "Contact" that has either Apple ID or iPhone Number  (they need to have registered with iMessages as well).

  • HT204382 How do i download quicktime onto my macbook pro?

    Iv just got a macbook pro and i cant figure out which wuicktime to download in order for me to play movies that my boyfriend has on his external hard drive?? Anyone know anything about this??

    Quicktime Player already exists on your Mac.  But you may need specific Codex that know the movie format.
    You might try VLC which can generally play any video format.

  • How do I download iMessage onto my MacBook Pro?

    I deleted iMessage thinking it would solve a problem I was having if I could reinstall it and start from scratch. Now I can't find where to download the Beta version of iMessage. All I'm finding is that I need to uprgrade (and pay for) my OS.
    Please help!!!!

    HI,
    The Messages Beta came with an Uninstall option in the  Messages Menu itself which reinstalled iChat 6 as part of the Process.
    As Lion (OS X 10.7.x) does not come with Install Disks it is impossible to Install one app as you could before.
    Use Lion Recovery.

  • How do you sync itunes between a MacBook and ipad mini with different operating systems ?

    I own a Macbook with OS X 10.5.8 operating system, and have recently bought an ipad mini but I cant sync itunes because it operates on the 10.6.8 system, is ther an upgrade for the Macbook, or is there another way of syncing the two ?

    You need to be running Snow Leopard 10.6.8 to sync with your iPad.
    Start by checking if you can run Snow Leopard:
    Requirements for OS X 10.6 'Snow Leopard'
    http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
    The OS 10.6 Snow Leopard install DVD is available for $19.99 from the Apple Store:
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    and in the UK:
    http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    When you have installed it, run Software Update to download and install the latest updates for Snow Leopard to bring it up to 10.6.8, or download the combo update from here:

    Check via Software Update whether further updates are required.

  • How to transfer itunes account to new macbook and ipad

    I have an itunes account which is linked with my iphone..  I have recently gotten a new macbook and ipad.  Is it possible to transfer from my current account to these new devices?  I do not have my old macbook which the itunes account originated from, only my iphone.  Do I have to create a new account?  Everytime I go to backup my iphone it says it will wipe out what is on it!!! I have  hundreds of songs, videos,apps etc etc etc.
    Thanks

    1) authorize iTunes on your new Mac for your iTunes store account (the one you used to purchase from the iTunes store)
    2) connect your iPhone and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
    3) sync the device
    iTunes will wipe the iPhone but, since you transferred your purchases in the previous step, your content will be in your library and you can re-populate the iPhone with it (as well as you iPad).

  • How can I download ios5 I don't have a computer

    I don't have a pc how can I download ios5 onto my iPad 2

    First off, you should post your question in the proper forum section.  This section is for discussion about the Thunderbolt displays, not iPads.
    but to answer your question, you can't.  Since you are currently running version 4.3.3, it doesn't have the over-the-air software update feature.  That feature came out with version 5.0.1.  You will need to use a computer (or use a friend's computer or take it into the Apple Store) to update the iPad.  Once you have updated it to iOS 5, then you will be able to get future updates without a computer.

  • How do i watch movies from an external hard drive on my macbook and iPad?

    how can i watch movies on my macbook and ipad from an external hard drive?

    Import it into an iTunes library and then sync the iPod with that library. If desired, create a new library on that drive by launching iTunes with the Shift(Windows) or Option(Mac OS X) key held down.
