  • HT4972 Why I can't update my iPad to iOS 5?

    Why I can't update my iPad o iOS 5?

    You can only update a device to the highest iOS version that it supports, which for an iPad 2 is 7.0.4
    What happens when you follow the instructions on the page that you posted from ?
    To update, 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

    Hi,
    I am facing error when I try to upgrade to IOS 5.
    I am upgrading via my Windows PC, iTunes. While downloading and after almost 40% of download complete I receive error that disconnected from server and asking to check my internet connection.
    I tried this 5 times over the past month from three different internet connection and was getting same error.
    I also tried to just do the download to my PC without installing the update to iPad direct, and it failed too, below the error message.

    Hi beckiewinter!
    I have some information for you that may help you understand your iPhone's Activation Lock more thoroughly:
    iCloud: Find My iPhone Activation Lock in iOS 7
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5818
    So in order to update your iPhone, you may need to turn off Find My iPhone. This can be done through the iCloud settings, and more information on those settings can be found right here:

    No - but thanks! I read about the fix here on the discussion site. I'm glad it got your apps working again.
    From the Apple kb article about troubleshooting app store issues ....
    If all user-installed apps are not launching, it could be an Apple ID authorization issue. Download and install an app that isn't already installed on your device to reset this information.
    Here is the link to the article.

  • HT4623 I can't update my iPad iso 6.0.1 , it said error .. I don't know how I can get my new update

    I can't update my iPad for iso 6.0.1,, it said error all the time . How I can get my new update

    Is this an over-the-air update, or did you update while being connected to a computer?
    iOS 8.2 and above take up around 2 GB more space, which requires that you have more space on your device. If you tried the over-the-air update (updating directly form the iPad in Settings>General>Update) this issue could be resolved by updating through a computer with iTunes installed on it. Updating through a computer requires less space on the device, because it pulls the SW out before replacing it, while over-the-air updates install the new SW before removing the old one.
    If this doesn't work, or you in general want to know how you can manage your storage better, try managing storage through Settings>Usage>Storage>Manage storage. This function allows you to view what is taking up storage, and it allows you to more easily remove data you do not wish to keep on the device.
    Good luck.

    I can't update my IPAD2 to IOS6.  I've tried through ITUNEs.  I get a message after IOS6 is downloaded and extracted, to the effect of "could not backup the IPAD2 because the backup could not be saved to this computer."  I've tried directly from the IPAD, and by connecting through ITUNES to two separate computgers.  Can anyone help?  Thank you.

    However after part of the Itune update completed a message came up on the screen
    saying   "The feature you are trying to use is on a net work resource that is unavailable.
