HT4623 I have an ipad2 16GB but i don't have the software update option in it so how do I update it to iOS.5

I want to update my ipad216GB to iOS.5 but i don't have the software update option in it so how do I update it to iOS.5

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).

    Your iPhone and iPod can share the same iTunes account.  Apps can be freely shared and used by one or both devices.  You can't use money in your iTunes account to pay for your phone, but purchased apps can be used by both the iPod and iPhone.

    I have Mountain Lion OS but I don't have the Messages app. Why do I still only have iChat?

    HI,
    If iChat was put inside a subsidiary folder of the Applications one then it will not get removed.
    Apple App need to be loose in the Applications Folder or they will not update properly either.
    I have heard of people creating a "Messaging App Folder" and keeping this inside the Applications folder with the consequences listed.

    i have two security questions but i don't have a rescue email address and i know my apple id and password, what should i do please help me!!:(

    If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer 2 of your questions) then you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple to get the questions reset.

    When they've been reset you can then use the steps half-way down this page to add a rescue email address for potential future use : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312

    Fill in all the spots - you have one or more photos places not filled - thypically this is behind a full page photo - go through the book and for each full page photo change the layout so you can see the page background - you will find one or more full page backgrounds with no photo hidden this way
    Fix those and order
    Before ordering your book preview it using this method - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1040 - and save the resulting PDF for reference - the delivered book will match it.

    I have an Apple ID that I use for itunes.  I am trying to set up my icloud account.  I have gone thru the steps to "set up" the icloud account.  It only has me download the icloud control panel, then I'm supposed to sign into icloud, but then it tells me that I don't have an icloud account.  I have looked all over the support area and it doesn't tell me how to get passed this problem.  Any suggestions?

    It looks like the article below has the information you are looking for.
    iCloud: Change iCloud feature settings
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2613
    Turn off iCloud completely
    Depending on whether you want to stop using iCloud on all or only some devices, do one or more of the following:
    On your iOS device’s Home screen, go to Settings > iCloud, then at the bottom of the screen, tap Delete Account.
    Note:   If you delete your iCloud account, iCloud will no longer back up your iOS data. You can still back up your device in iTunes (for more information, open iTunes and choose iTunes > Help). 
    On your Mac, open iCloud preferences, then click Sign Out.
    If your Mac has OS X v10.7.5 and you turn off iCloud, your calendar information and reminders aren’t stored locally in iCal. If you want to retain your calendar and reminder information, you need to back it up before turning off iCloud. For more information, see the Apple Support article iCloud: Calendar & reminder data removed from Calendar and Reminders or iCal when disabling iCloud Calendar.
    On your Windows computer, open the iCloud Control Panel, then click Sign Out.
    Note:   If you turned on automatic download of music, app, or book purchases (in iTunes preferences or in Settings on your iOS device), your iTunes purchases are still downloaded to your devices.

  • Somebody stole my iphone :| .. and i used someone else's apple ID i also have find my iphone but i don't have an apple ID (i use someone else's) So how can I get my phone back?? If i go to the apple store...can they find it for me without hesitation?

    IT WAS AN IPHONE4s

    Apple can't find it for you.  You have to go to icloud.com on a computer and sign into the iCloud account that was used on the phone, then see if you can track it as described here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mmfc0f2442.  If you don't know the password for your iCloud account you won't be able to sign in to track it.
    If it was stolen, contact the police and your carrier, and change your passwords.

  • I just tried to import photos from iphone to MacAir  but only some came across, many others as dark space. The app thinks I have transferred them all but I want to redo the process and it is not obvious how to do that. I deleted the dark images  already,

    How may I reimport photos from my iphone 4s to the MacAir iPhoto as only some images came across.. It is not obvious to me, like it is with other programs I have used.

    Also, you can have Image Capture automatically open when you connect the phone or any camera. To do that you need to open iPhoto on your Mac (yes, the setting is in iPhoto and that is a bit strange).
    Why do I have to buy iPhoto to get to a setting so that I don't have to use iPhoto?!?! Not very Apple-like.
    If the device is attached and highlighted in Image Capture, the setting is in the bottom left corner.

  • Need to have firmware 1.1 but I don't have OS9 installed

    Hi,
    I'm trying to install a Daystar processor upgrade however I don't have OS 9
    installed is there a way to install 1.1 without OS9? If not can I install OS 9.0
    without wiping out my OS 10.4.5 or will I have to reinstall it after I upgrade
    the firmware? Any help would be much appreciated.
    Thanks -j

    OS 9 and X can be installed on the same partition without damaging each other. If you have Mac OS 9 Startup Disk Control Panel 9.2.1 or later, you can use it to select which system should start up your Mac.
    If you hold the Option key at Startup, it should start up in Mac OS 9 (if present). Some sources say X or Command-X will boot into Mac OS X.

  • I still have the software 10.5.8...how do I update?

    Upgrading to Snow Leopard
    You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
    After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mavericks if your computer meets the requirements.
         Snow Leopard General Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
           2. 1GB of memory
           3. 5GB of available disk space
           4. DVD drive for installation
           5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
               fees may apply.
           6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and
               terms apply.
    Upgrading to Lion
    If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mavericks, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
    You can purchase Lion at the Online Apple Store. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax.  It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
         Lion System Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
               or Xeon processor
           2. 2GB of memory
           3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
           4. 7GB of available space
           5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
    Upgrading to Yosemite
    You can upgrade to Yosemite from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Yosemite can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for FREE.
    Upgrading to Yosemite
    To upgrade to Yosemite you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Download Yosemite from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Yosemite is free. The file is quite large, over 5 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
        OS X Mavericks/Yosemite - System Requirements
          Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Yosemite
             1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 7,1 or later
             2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 5,1 or later
             3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 2,1 or later
             5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             7. Xserve (Early 2009) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
    To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.

  • I have set DELETE preferences but still don't have control!

    I've read various posts and know exactly how to set my delete preferences to NEVER. Preferences/Accounts etc. So I have my trash set to never delete (vs one day, one week, one month)... but I only have the previous month's deleted email in the trash folder. Every day I check, and the corresponding day from a month ago is now the last date mail is saved. Anyone know what gives? The is the same on my home computer, and when I access Mac Mail from my computer at work.

    Be wary of any advice I give about .mac, as I haven't used it ...
    As far as I know, ,mac uses the imap protocol, so your mail messages are stored on a server (.mac). The deletion control settings you refer to are for mail stored in local mailboxes on your computer. I imagine it is possible to make similar settings in your account on the .mac server. Alternatively, download the mail from the server to your computer and the local settings will work - but then you won't have access to undeleted mail both at work and at home.

    Is Lightroom 4 still installed on the old computer? If it is then you can get the serial number from there. If it isn't, and you registered your copies of Lightroom with Adobe then you can log into your account and get the serial number from there.

  • I see two others have asked this question, but I don't find the answer satisfactory: So when will the GPIB driver support the 2.4 kernel? Or

    for that matter when will it get beyond BETA status? When I bought Labview for Linux, I assumed NI would provide GPIB drivers so that I'd be able to use it. I think we've been at BETA 0.6 for almost a year. For what Labview costs, this isn't reasonable.
