HT1414 Do I have to use the original computer to update iPad? Or can I use any computer?

Do I have to use the original computer I started with to update my iPad? Or can I use any computer/laptop?

Thanks. I asked the question because if you have iOS 5 or later you can update directly from the iPad.
Now, to answer your question specifically, yes you can, but it may have implications. See this link http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4972 and the sub heading, 'If you are tempting to update using a Mac or PC with which you do not normally sync'.

  • Can't get iphone to recognize itunes on my computer. do i have to use the original cord to connect? i can't find the cord. please advise.

    Can't get iphone to recognize itunes on my computer. do i have to use the original cord to connect? i can't find the cord. please advise.

    Do you mean that iTunes doesn't recognize your phone when you plug it into your computer using the usb to dock cable?  If so, see http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538.  (And yes, you need to use the usb to dock cable that came with your phone.  If you dont' have it you'll have to buy another one.)

    I have two iphones, different telcos, i am using the same apple id for both - how can i use the 10GB icloud free memory of my new iphone 5?

    Thank you KiltedTim!
    YES, that is the free 5GB icloud memory for each apple ID. Can I not add the free 5Gb of my second Iphone to my original apple ID (5GB also) as I want to use one Apple ID name on both 2 Iphones? Is it necessary to have a different apple ID for the second Iphone to avail the free 5GB it carries with it?

  • I have recently lost the ability to connect my ipad to Apple TV.  Any thoughts?

    I have recently lost the ability to connect my ipad to Apple TV.  Any thoughts?

    Try the following steps, check whether things are working after each step where appropriate, before trying the next.
    Check AirPlay is turned on on the Apple TV (turn it off and on if it already is)
    Check that both devices are on the same network (Settings > Wifi, on the mobile device and Settings > General > Network, on the Apple TV).
    Restart the Apple TV (Settings > General > Restart).
    Restart the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
    Restart your router. (Also try removing it’s power cord for at least 30 seconds)
    Restart your mobile device.

  • I have one of the original iPods. I try syncing it to my new computer, but the adapter is old and doesn't fit into my new computer. Is there an attachment I can buy, so I can keep my old music?

    I have one of the original iPods. I also had an old aluminum Mac. I had a lot of music stored on both. My Mac no longer works because the software doesn't update. But my iPod still works and has all of my old music stored. I'd like to sync it to my current PC, but the adapter is so old that it doens't work with new laptops. Is there something I can purchase, so I can have my old music moved to my newer iPod thru a PC?

    On the new laptop, launch iTunes. From the menu bar click Store / Authorize This Computer.

  • When I use the new Pages on my iPad, I can't open it on my new computer. It tells me that I must download the new Pages to see the Pages document, but when I try to download the new pages to my computer it tells me all apps are up to date.

    When I use the new Pages app. On my IPod  to type documents, I can't open them on my new computer. It sends me a message that I have to download a newer version of pages to see the Pages document. When I try to do that it tells me all my apps are up to date and will not allow me to upgrade the pages on my iMac.
    Any suggestions?

    Hi Guys,
    I have following scenerio...
    1: There is one third party tool which is calling my.jsp page from the specified directory.
    2: Before calling the JSP that third party tool is adding some data like <user name> and <password > in the header of that JSP.
    Problem: I am not getting thos custom added header in side the JSP.

    1: I want to forward this value to another servlet which is based on Struts framework_.
    2: For adding the value in the header i am using Http Live header Addons of FireFox_
    Could anyone help me in the same!!!
    Thanks in Advance

    Sorry, perhaps I was not explicit enough.
    Your code snippet: request.getHeader(MyUserName);
    It was missing quotes to make it a String value.
    If that is what you have, then it is using the VARIABLE MyUserName, and not the actual value "MyUserName"

  • After using the cable to charge my iPad I can't sync my iPod touch

    I just got the iPad 2 and I have been using my old USB cable to charge it on my laptop and on the adapter it came with. Now when I use the USB cable to connect my iPod touch to my laptop to sync, it doesn't show up in the devices column. I don't know if this caused by iPad but when I connect my iPod touch to the laptop, all it does is it charges it as opposed to before, it would sync right when I plug it in. How can I solve this??

    Ok I have solution for PC and PC base laptops for Windows OS.
    All you need to is to get this tool from Asus and install in on you PC or Laptop it will boost the power to USB:

  • I can't use the 4.0 without intel, how long can I use the older version?

    My Mac is an OS X version 10.5.8 without intel. How long will I be able to use the Firefox 3.6 and what will happen if no longer supported....no more Firefox for me?

    I can't answer the question of how long Firefox 3.6 will continue to receive updates.
    But... Mozilla code is open source, so it can be used by others to make a PowerPC compatible version of Firefox 4. And somebody has!! I haven't tried it (I run Windows), but you can get more information here:

  • TS1389 What if I have done all the steps apple says, and I still can't authorize my computer to play certain purchased songs

    I followed all the steps on the apple page, and just a few of the songs I just purchased cannot be authorized for some reason.  It keeps prompting me, and I keep entering my password and it says this computer is already authorized.  ARG! 
    Weirdly, when I look at the info of the songs, some list my name as "Purchased by", but the songs I can't play don't have a "Purchased By" line, but all songs show the correct "Account Name"

    They were purchased by another Apple ID.
    If you are not sure what other Apple IDs you may have, go to appleid.apple.com and click on the link that says "Find your Apple ID".
    You are needing to authorize the Apple ID that those other songs were purchased under.

  • Although I am using the original cable of my iphone 5 but since the update of io7  I am facing this cable of accessory is not certified warning, how can i fix it?

    I have proble that appears on my Iphone 5 since the update of ios 7, the warning message says" the cable or accessory is not certified"
    Although I am using the original cable but still appearing.
    how can I fix it?
    thanks

    Apple blocked a lot of cable keys. Including official keys that were suspected of being used on non-MFI cables.
    Sony, Panasonic, belkin etc all pay big $$ to have a licence to use the proprietary 'lightning' cable. Which is basically a USB cable that apple wants everyone to use. The EU has laws against creating these kinds of devices but because Apple is a monopoly they can do anything they want. USB, more particularly micro-USB is the standard for every phone and tablet device. Apple is the only manufacturer who appears ignore ewaste laws and continue to insist on ID chips in everything it makes. They would put on in your food and your brain if they could lol.
    If I was a business I'd do it too ;) money money money! It's the name of the game.
    Anyhow.... The bypass is software based and to bypass the block do the following.
    Turn phone off.
    As the phone is powering down, when the spinning icon is on the screen plug it in.
    The phone will now charge, leave it for a few hours and turn it back on.
    Warning - if you plug it in when it's already fully powered down the phone turns on and blocks the cable.
    I know it's not ideal but it will charge your phone at least till you but some MFI / iOS 7 cables from eBay.
    USB cables have never killed anyone yet somehow apple is trying to convince everyone they do lol... At least that's what their marketing team is trying like the devil to prove. I wish I could make a 50 cent cable and charge $25 for it lol.
    No offence to apple but they are sliding down a slippery slope. Everyone can see the iphone walking down the path of blackberrys and Nokia over the next 5 years until it's a faded memory of a good idea that didn't innovate.
