  • HT4623 Help getting ios5 on iPad 1

    How can I get ios5 on iPad 1 nothing under settings and I don't have another computer to use is it possible?

    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).

  • HT4623 Don't have "software update" option. How do I get ios5 on ipad

    Don't have "software update" option. How do I get ios5 on ipad

    The Settings > General > Software Update option only appears when you have iOS 5+ installed, if you have iOS 4 or earlier on it 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 (File > Devices > Transfer Purchases if you are on iTunes 11). 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
    Updating to iOS 5+ : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4972
    An iPad 2 will update to iOS 6.0.1 (which is the only version that is 'signed' by Apple), so you will lose the built-in YouTube app and the Maps app will change.

  • HT4623 How does one get IOS5 to IPad with IOS4.3?

    Help required

    If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.0.1. For the iPad Mini the iOS is 6.0.2. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.

    iOS: How to update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4623
    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).

    How to get my contacts from ipad to iphone?  (I don't want any contacts to come from my PC via icloud, only from the ipad.)

    Well, if both your iPad and iPhone have ios 7 you could AirDrop the contacts. This may seem time consuming if have a lot of contacts as you have to select all the ones you want to transfer. But it is useful if you want transfer only specific contacts and not the whole contact list. Oh, and another thing: your iPad has to be a 4th generation or higher and your iPhone has to be 5th generation or higher.

  • How to get Airprint on Ipad w/o computer??

    My mom has an iPad without the latest software upgrades (i.e. NO Airprint).
    She has zero computer access, and she lives 2,000 miles away (Springfield, IL).
    She wants a printer, but I cannot figure out how to get Airprint onto her iPad, short of having her ship it out to me.
    Isn't there a better way???
    Thanks!
    Kelly

    Does your mum know anyone near her with a computer? Use that if possible to upgrade to 4.2.1.
    With respect to 3rd party printing, the Apps in the App Store like Print n Share and Printcentral really just print directly to ANY HP wireless printer. Other brands don't really work. You can use these apps with your current 3.3 firmware.
    Airpint, at the moment, also is supported only by SOME HP e-printers.
    My advice would be to buy one on the current list to get the best of both worlds.
