  • Updating iPad to the latest iOS without computer

    Friend of mine bought an iPad 6 months ago, he does not own ANY computer (iPad is the only device). He is still running the original iOS on it, how can update his iPad without a computer to the latest iOS 4.2?
    If he syncs his iPad with my iTunes on my MacBook Pro will lose any content? Will stuff get transfered over to my MacBook Pro? We just want to update his iPad iOS ONLY without making ANY changes to my iTunes or his iPad. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks...

    A computer is needed to update the iOS. If the iPad has never been synced to to another computer it should be easy to backup the iPad to your computer and transfer purchases (you need to authorize your computer to his account) and do the update and it should automatically restore and sync after the update. A backup is supposed to be made before an update but to be sure, when the iPad is connected to the computer right click on the iPad in iTunes and select backup. I would also save a copy of the backup in another location and backup the iTunes library (with his transfered apps and other stuff) also to make sure they are not lost. You can find the location of the backup here:

    Hi Sam,
    I understand where you are about being your own IT department, it can be overwhelming ...
    What drives to buy depends an awful lot on how you will use them, what your budget is, and your preferences.
    In the case of your DP Powermac, for online storage used primarily for editing, I would add one or more internal drives first. Look for drives that are at least 7200rpm and have at least an 8MB cache. 10,000rpm/16MB cache is even better, but more expensive. Seagate Barracudas have always been good choices.
    For backup purposes, I'd pick some good external FireWire drives; you can also use these for online editing, lots of people do. Your Mac has both FW400 and FW800 ports - either kind is fine but if you get drives that support both, you would want to connect them to the FW800 port for the added performance.
    In my experience, the Lacie d2 Extreme drives have been very very good. In fact I have 3 of them daisy-chained off my iMac G5 right now and they work flawlessly with FCE. Weibetech and Granite Digital drives are further upscale in performance and price. RAID configurations would be even further upscale. Do stay away from consumer level hard drives, however ... the Western Digital MyBook series & no-name drives come to mind ...
    Don't use a FireWire hub for your external drives, it's just asking for trouble.
    ps. And thanks for your nice comment about me. I'm happy to help, as are other folk in the forum.

    If you have all your music on the cmputer then i would connect up my phone uncheck the Sync Music option and apply.
    This should take all the music off your phone .Then you can resync the music back on to it.
    If this doesn't work maybe a restore to factory settings and start from scratch is the way to go

  • HT4623 I updated recently to the latest IOS but now the websites screen of Safari would not go widescreen when I put it side way, why? Please fix bug.

    I updated recently to the latest IOS but now the websites screen of Safari would not go widescreen when I put it side way, why? Please fix bug.

    During a normal install of iOS 7.0.6 this does not happen but something clearly went wrong in your installation.
    To fix this, connect to iTunes and restore to Factory. Hopefully your iPad will be working again and you can restore your iCloud backup during Setup.

    Standard troubleshooting...
    1. Try a Restart by pressing the sleep/lock button until you see the slider.  Slide to power off.  Restart by pressing the sleep/lock button until you see the Apple logo.
    2. Try a Reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.
    3. Remove apps from Recently Used (multi-tasking) list...
    - From any Home Screen, double tap the home button to bring up the Recents List
    - Swipe up on the app preview card to remove it from the list
    - Press the home button when done.

  • I can't update my iPad to the latest iOS

    It doesn't give me the option to update

    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.

    Sadly, Apple has no approved method to downgrade the version of iOS on your iDevice. You can voice your displeasure with the iOS by leaving feedback at the appropriate subsection from the link below.

  • How to update phone to the latest iCloud backup??

    Just got a new iPhone 5 to replace my old one. The new phone's software wasn't up to date so it couldn't process the latest iCloud backup. I'm now stuck with the iCloud backup from last year. I've updated the software now how do I update the iCloud backup?

    Hey Lucy_love!
    In order to get back to the screen where you will be able to choose the backup to apply to your phone, you will have to restore your phone according to the instructions in the following article:
