HT4436 I have never updated my iPad because it has videos on it that are very important to me. It is running at IOS4 and is starting to crash more often. The laptop it is synced to doesn't even run anymore, and it won't email the videos as they are too

I would like to get an Icloud acct but it needs IOS5 or more. is there anyway to keep the videos and also update my iPad, or get an Icloud acct without having IOS5?

Here are the articles I mentioned...
If you can do so, copy the entire iTunes library from your old computer to your new one using one of the methods outlined in this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527.
If you can't, follow the steps in this user tip from wjosten to avoid data loss: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141. To follow this, you'll need to open iTunes on your computer and go to View>Show Sidebar so you can see the sidebar in iTunes. Also, Transfer Purchases mentioned in step 5 is inow in File>Devices>Transfer Purchases.

So my ex step-daughter took my daughters ipad 4 and changed her passcode and is denying doing it but we know she did. she does things like this. my daughter has pictures on there that is very important to her. her late grandfather etc. how can we get into

Removing the "Disabled" will erase the iPad. If you have important files on an iPad you should backup frequently.

You may have to do this several times.
Saw this solution on another post about an iPad in a school environment. Might work on your iPad so you won't lose everything.

‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just canceling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.

Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

Get a newer device. The original iPad can't be updated past 5.1.1.

I am trying to download a movie from itunes, but ithere's isn't enough room to download. I have a iphone4, have deleted every app possible. Slimmed down photos to hardly anything. I could never update to ios7 because of storage problems. Only 2.5 GB available out of 5GB after deleting everything. I'm also out of town and cannot connect to a computer. I have wifi access though. Help?

Update
OK, Today I went ahead & booted & tried again & it worked this time.
Not sure why it didn't yesterday. Maybe the servers were just overloaded? Several others reported similar.
Also yesterday when I ran Speedtest it showd download at about 25 mbps, This morning just before I re-started the download it was showing just above 30 mbps. So maybe the internet was less busy? Or at least the parts between me & the test server.
& so far it is working ok.

I was updating my iPad 2 to the latest version, I have never updated before. It was done downloading and was backing up. Error in backing up (-5000). I tried restarting, no help. Someone please help.

This is a copy of ONEof the keys in the registry I changed as told by Apple support today. I also have changed others as instructed by GEAR software support to manually delete GEAR drivers (that I had installed but couldn't delete some of the others they mentioned from Windows system 32. Then some bright spark at work told me I need the Gear drivers so I downloaded the software and installed again.
Sorry, just this minute went to insert image and it is giving me a message saying this sort of content is not allowed?.
The most recent key I altered is in: HKey _local _machine. System\class - 4D36E965-E325-11CEBFC1-08002BE10318. Upper Filter data: Upper filter NTIDrvr SiRem GEARAspiWDN.

I have never updated macbook 10.5.8, grey screen at start up, battery not charging. Is it worth getting it serviced?

So, My lovely Macbook 10.5.8 is struggling a little. I cannot use any softwares because I have never updated the system - how many system updates will I need to install and purchase will I need to install until I can use all the modern softwares, and how do I do it?
Also, the computer turns off immediately if the charger is removed? Will I need a new battery?
Finally, manytimes the system struggling to start up and gets stuck on a pale grey/ white/ blue screen? Any ideas?
I am thinking to take it to be serviced at the genius bar but there are a few issues here that could make the whole process very expensive and as the laptop is quite old now I am not sure it is worth it. I'm not even sure how much it costs for a genius bar appointment.
I really don't know what to do, please help, any suggestions would be much appreciated!
THANK YOU

You could call ahead and ask about setting an appointment at an Apple Store
to talk to a Genius about your old MacBook, and see about a diagnosis of its
issues; that much should be free, from what has been said about it in the US.
Any further actions, after a diagnostic, would likely generate an expense, if
there are parts and labor involved to restore functions. Could be just a new
battery, or charger, etc may be needed if those don't check out well. Be sure
if you do visit with a Genius bar, you take along the MacBook's power adapter.
Depending on what the Model identifier number (macbook2.1, 3.1, etc) is you
may be able to upgrade an OS X version past Snow Leopard 10.6 (retail DVD
is the path to upgrade) however, several early MacBook models like 10.6.8.
So the price of admission to Snow Leopard, is about $20 for the retail DVD; &
then the last step update is a free download to get 10.6 to 10.6.8.
There is an option in the Snow Leopard installer, to put Rosetta in there, so
if you have a pile of older applications that have PPC code, these would
benefit from the Rosetta and allow you to continue to use them in 10.6.8.
Snow Leopard is the last OSX that could allow you to use older PPC apps.
Anyway, hopefully this helps somewhat.
Good luck & happy computing!

What happened is that my internet connection was not good so i downloaded .ipsw file from a torrent but now i cannot get it to update my ipad because ios 5.0.1 is out i tried copying files to ipad updates in the itunes folder but no help

plz help

If you downloaded the correct version for your iPad model (and the different models have different ipsw files), then you should be able to navigate to it in iTunes by pressing and holding the shift key on Windows (command key on Mac) when clicking the Check For Updates button.

I have never updated ios on my iPhone 4. I am currently running ios 4. I tried to update yesterday to ios 6 but many hours into the backup I got an error message saying that continuing would cause all of my phone contents to be lost. What should I do?

I have never updated ios on my iPhone 4. I am currently running ios 4. I tried to update yesterday to ios 6 but many hours into the backup I got an error message saying that continuing would cause all of my phone contents to be lost. What should I do?

Why, if it told you you have insufficient space on your computer, would it suggest making more space available on your phone?
At a guess, you have insufficient space on your phone. Installing software will typically require more space than the final size of the software, perhaps even twice or three times as much, for the installation process. You can easily dump some videos or music temporarily, and then synch them back in afterwards.

I have just updated my iPad to 6 iOS but my photos have disappeared and what is left are all blurry

I have just updated my iPad to iOS 6 but all my photos have disappeared apart from the ones taken on my iPhone or iPad but they are now blurry and don't come into focus

I accidently deleted some contacts that I need. I still have them on my IPAD because I disabled my contacts in icloud. Is there a way to reload these deleted contacts using my IPAD and icloud?

I accidently deleted some contacts that I still need. Because of Icloud they are now deleted on all my devices such as my Iphone and PC (outlook). I still have them on my IPAD because I disabled my contacts on Icloud on my IPAD. Is there a way to reload these contacts from my IPAD back to my Iphone and PC using Icloud? Thank you.

Hi mth3333,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
You can sync the contacts on your iPad with your computer. See this article for the steps:
iOS: How to transfer or sync content to your computer
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1296
Contacts
To sync contacts with your computer, choose "Sync Contacts with" within iTunes for Windows, or "Sync Address Book Contacts" on your Mac.
You can sync your contacts with:
Microsoft Outlook 2003, Microsoft Outlook 2007, Microsoft Outlook 2010 (Windows XP, Windows Vista, or Windows 7)
Windows Address Book (Windows XP)
Windows Contacts (Windows Vista / Windows 7)
Address Book (Mac OS X)
Microsoft Entourage 2004, Microsoft Entourage 2008, or Microsoft Outlook 2011 for Mac
Note: If using Microsoft Entourage, use Microsoft Entourage 2008 12.1.2 or later if syncing with Mac OS X v10.6 or later. If you would like to sync data on your Mac with Entourage, enable syncing between Entourage and Address Book.
Notes:
When syncing contacts, you can choose to sync all of your contacts or only selected groups. The option to sync selected items may not show up until after the first sync.
You can select a group of contacts to which all new contacts created on your iOS device will be added.
Regards,
Jeremy
