HT204053 How do I Download ios6 on iPad with no software update button

How do I download ios6 on my ipad2 there is no software update in settings and I have a PC?

You won't have software update in settings until you are running iOS 5 or higher.  To update from iOS 4, you have to use iTunes, as explained in this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4972.

  • How do I download ios5.1, there is no software update button in settings

    I was going to download iOS 5.1 but then realized there was a more recent version out with numerous bug fixes caused by versions 4.3 and higher. So I looked up how to download it and every place said to go to settings, tap "General" and there will be a "Software Update" option for an 'over the air' wireless software update. But when I tried, there was no such illusive "Software Update" button.
    How do I download iOS 5.1? I can't do it through iTunes because its meant for 'over the air'. But there's no way to do it without that button!

    Everytime I try updating ios via iTunes, it is taking more than 3 hours and then session breaks saying "Timed Out"
    I have been trying to update iOs since last 3 days using iTunes but of no help, please let me know any other alternative way by which I can update my iOs

  • Upgrading ipad with no Software Update  button.

    HI
    I would like to upgrade my ipad to iOS 5 or iOS 6 but I don't have a Software Update button within Settings.  I have an iphone and MacBook Pro which have both been updated to iOS6 but I'm not sure if I can do the same to the ipad, which is now unable to open contents of various apps without an upgrade.
    Can anyone tell me if it is possible?  The Model is MC979LL and the Version is 4.3.5 (8L1).
    Many thanks!
    Jill

    If you have the original iPad you can only upgrade to iOS 5.1.1. All of the other iPads can upgrade to 6.1.2.
    Here are the instructions.

    Or you can connect the iPad to the computer, launch iTunes. Select the iPad under the devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update

  • HT4623 My iPad has no software update "button" ???

    My iPad has no Software update button in the General tab.  How do I fix?

    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

  • I'm not able to download the App Store with a software update. How can I get the App Store on my Mac?

    I have some problems to get the App Store on my mac. Every time when I do a Software Update, there is no App Store to download.
    How can I get the App Store on my Mac?
    It's because I want to set OSX Lion on my MacbookPro.
    Thanks!

    As you have 10.5.8 you need to upgrade to at least 10.6.6 to get the App Store as this was the 1st version it came with.
    A workaround is to get a friend who has 10.6.6 or better to download Lion for you without installing it. You can create an App Store account on the friend's computer I think to do this. Copy the Lion installer from that computer to a USB stick or burn it to DVD and you should be able to install it on your own computer, I think. You might have to create an empty partition on your own computer first for Lion installation as I'm not sure that it will install over Leopard.

  • HT1222 How do I update my first generation iPad without the software update button in the general settings menu?

    When I go to my app store the store will load but nothing within the store will load. I haven't updated my Ipad in a long time because the computer died I would use. I have tried different things but can not find a way to update to the new operating systems which is what I believe is causing my problems in the app store.

    A first gen iPad should update to iOS 5.1.1 (which is the only version that is 'signed' by Apple).

  • How do I download a slide show with captions and music to my IPad?  It is not happening when I sync.

    How do I download a slide show with captions and music to my IPad?  It is not happening when I sync.

    The way that you would transfer photos from iPhoto to the iPad would be to sync with iTunes. Connect the iPad to your Mac with the cable and launch iTunes. Select your iPad under the devices heading on the left. Then click on the Photos tab in the iTunes window on the right. You can select the folder from which you want to sync your photos in the drop down menu bar - so select iPhoto there. Then select the album or events that you want to sync from the windows below. After you have made your selections, click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes.
    I am not sure how the iPad will handle a slide show in the photos app that was created on your Mac. You can create basic slide shows on the iPad using the different albums, events or faces that you have in the Photo app, but as for the captioning that you have already set up, I don't know how that will work in the app when you sync the slide show.

  • How can I download a US iPad User's Manual when my apple ID keeps sending me to the French site?

    How can I download a US iPad User's Manual when my apple ID keeps sending me to the French site?  I live in France but am American and prefer to work in English.  My Apple ID is tied to my French address and Apple blocks me from downloading from the US site.  What do I need to do to get US apps and manuals if I don't have a US address for a credit card?

    Perhaps the simplest thing you could do is ask a US based friend to download the User Guide, have them email it to you in PDF.  Save the PDF to your iTunes account, then sync it to your iPad.

    I downloaded a movie but i cant play it unless im connected to the net. How do i download to my ipad to play offline

    If you are downloading from iTunes, once the download is complete, you should be able to play it offline. Make sure it did complete.  Mopvies are very large files so can take a while to download dependng on your internet connection.
    If you are downloading from another service such as Netflix or Amazon it may not have that option.

    There are a number of facebook apps that you can use e.g. the 'official' facebook app : http://itunes.apple.com/in/app/facebook/id284882215?mt=8 (it's optimised for the iPhone but you can upload photos via it), and Friendly For Facebook : http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/friendly-for-facebook/id400169658?mt=8

  • HT4623 My iPad does not have the automatic software update and I do not know how to download IOS if under settings there is no software update button available. Do I have to reset my iPad and lose data?

    My iPad does not have the automatic software update and I do not know how to get IOS 6 onto it. When I go into settings there is no software update button.

    If you are really on iOS 5 then look in Settings > General > Software update.
    Otherwise:
    If you are using iOS 4 (or earlier) there is no Software Update in Settings. That feature was first added in iOS 5.
    To update you will have to connect your iPad to iTunes on a computer (preferably the one you sync with and backup to).

  • I plug my computer into my stereo and use the remote app on my iPhone to control it. How can I control my wires iPad with the remote app on my iphone when it is plugged into the stereo? they are different iTunes accounts.

    I think this is probably a sign that your network could be better than it is.
    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.
