HT1848 Upgrading iPad from 4.3.3 to 5.1 and retaining bookmarks

I have an iPad running OS 4.3.3 and I want to upgrade to 5.1. Can I retain my bookmarks and how do I backup my music?

If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.1.3. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.

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. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).
Tip 2 - If you're updating via wifi, place your iPad close to your router to preclude getting a corrupted download.

    You could create the new Apple ID for her and keep the existing one for you.

  • Upgrading APEX from 3.2 to 4.0 images and buttons not displaying correctly

    Database 11.2.0.1
    APEX: 3.2.1
    Attemping to upgrade APEX from 3.2 to 4.0. The installation script runs fine and updates the database successfully. I run the .sql to import the images and it ran successfully however when I attempt to access the APEX home page, the images are not loaded and the buttons don't do anything. I did some research through google but did not come to anything that resolved my issue. Does anyone have any ideas?
    Thanks for your time...

    If you are using mod_plsql, you need to run @apxldimg.sql script with SYS user file present with Apex installation. Also provide the location of your apex folder as parameter to this script.

    If your iPhone, iPod, iPod Touch, or iPad is lost or stolen what do you do? There are things you should have done in advance - before you lost it or it was stolen - and some things to do after the fact. Here are some suggestions:

    Restore the iPad to out of the box configuration. This will erase all contents/settings on the iPad. Then set up using your ID and email info.

  • Problem upgrading iPad from iOS 4.2 to 4.3....

    Before I start, I can confirm that I have successfully upgraded my iPhone4 from 4.2 to 4.3.
    In regard to the iPad, when I click on the 'Check for update' button in my iTunes device summary page, it states that 4.2 is the 'Current Version', even though I know that iOS 4.3 is available. Therefore to try and force an update I selected the 'Restore' option in the same summary page and it prompts me if I am sure that I want to restore etc... which I confirm with the RESTORE, then I get an error message of _'There was a problem with downloading the software for the iPad "iPad". The requested resource was not found.'_
    Anyone have any ideas how to get around this issue, or why iTunes is telling me that 4.2 is the latest version.
    Thanks in advance.

    here's a tip from another thread http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2777490&tstart=0

  • I am having problems streaming movies to my ipad from my mac. The movie starts and then pauses and then starts again. any ideas?

    I am having challenges streaming movies from my Mac Mini to my IPAD 3, the movie will load (after what seems a bit too long) and start to play. It then stops after 30-50 seconds and if I leave will start again, but repeat the start stop thing. Its almost like it stops to buffer than starts again. I have had the same issue appear wiht my Iphone 5.
    Thoughts?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
    You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
    Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel or adjusting your multicast rate.
    There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first. Networks that have inherent issues can be seen to work differently with different versions of the same software. You might also try moving the Apple TV away from other electrical equipment.

  • Upgrade path from old version of LabWin 3.1 and NIDAQ to WinXP system

    Hello,  I am trying to help folks at my old university lab recover from a Win95 PC failure with an old version of LabWindows, 3.1 (ca.~1997).
    They have  a WinXP PC and have installed the old 3.1 software on this PC.  My old projects will compile and mostly run, but they are having problems finding a version of legacy NIDAQ that will work in LabWin 3.1 and WinXP. Function calls simply return errors so far, although I suspect they may not have configured the DIO-48 card in NIDAQ yet and the version of NIDAQ they have may not have legacy support for the "easyio" library.
    Does anyone have experience with this?  If it is simply not possible, the second path is to have them buy LabWin2010, but I do not know whether the NI libraries (other than easyio which is easy enough to swap for std  NIDAQ fcn calls) have changed significantly and will require a large code rewrite for the GUI or other NI libs. Third option is to simply install Win95 if they can find disks, and use teh very old NIDAQ on the old PC.
    Alex

    Hi Alex,
    I have not seen this exact situation before, but I would be happy to help you out to find what you need. Can you tell me a little bit more about your setup? From what I understand, you have an old program written in LabWindows 3.1 and a DIO-48 card. Are there any other pieces of software or hardware in your setup? It looks like the version of traditionalDAQ you need is 4.9 or lower. Do you know what exact version you had been using? I have sent you a private message to get your email address so that I can send you this driver.
