HT4623 I have IPAD 2.  i want to update to a more current version of IOS, but I don't have a "software update" option.  Does anyone know how I should go about updating my ipad.  I bought it in April, 2011.

I have an IPAD 2 that I purchased two years ago.  I would like to get a more current version of the IOS so that I can download games, etc.  The instructions say to go to General and select Software Download.  I do not have that option listed in my General area.  Does anyone know how I should go about getting the more current IOS?  Also, will the download hurt my IPAD.  I was told it might damage my operating system.  Thank you, Marilyn

No. The Download is the operating system. It won't damage it because its released by Apple and signed to work on it.
It will update the Operating system to the newer version.

    If you are in the UK:
    Please upgrade your plan to Web n Walk plus. One of our users on T-Mobile UK had this to report back to us:
    T-Mobile UK are in fact port blocking to ensure fair usage on their base Web and Walk Plan. I have upgraded to Web and Walk Plus and as a result the port blocks are lifted and I get a higher data allowance!
    We were also recently contacted by T-Mobile UK, who stated the following:
    Any smart phone (iphone, android etc) that is bought directly from T-Mobile should be automatically provisioned with Web n Walk plus, if customers have bought a handset sim free then they will need to call customer services and get this added. It is free of charge for most price plans (including new plans) but some older plans will generate a charge of £5pm for this.

  • My husband deleted iCloud from my ipad, does anyone know how I can reinstall iCloud on my ipad?

    My husband deleted iCloud from my ipad, does anyone know how I can reinstall iCloud on my ipad?

    You've tried logging out and back into your account on your iPad ?
    If that hasn't fixed it then try closing Settings and iTunes apps via your iPad's multitasking bar :
    iOS7 : double-click the home button to open the taskbar, and then swipe or drag the Settings and iTunes app's screen from there up and off the top of the screen to close it, and click the home button to close the taskbar.
    iOS 6 and below : from the home screen (i.e. not with Settings or iTunes apps 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Settings and iTunes apps to close them, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    Also do a soft-reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
    When your iPad has restarted see if you can log into iCloud and if the iTunes store works.

  • HT1338 I have an HP Printer/scanner, and since upgrading to Mountain Lion I can no longer scan on my HP.  HP tells me that I can get an upgrade app from 'Apple Software Upgrade' .  Does anyone know how to do this?

    I have an HP Printer/scanner, and since upgrading to Mountain Lion I can no longer scan on my HP.  HP tells me that I can get an upgrade app from 'Apple Software Upgrade' .  Does anyone know how to do this?

    HP couldn't find its own apps with both hands and a flashlight.
    As of Lion all scanning functions are incorporated natively in OS X. You can scan three ways:
    Use Preview: File > Import from scanner
    Use Image Capture
    (Preview and Image Capture are both in your Applications folder.)
    System Preferences > Print & Scan. Select your HP and use the Scan tab.
    If you have HP's "Image Zone" software installed, you no longer need it and it no longer works anyway.

  • My iphone dosen't doesn't make key tone sounds anymore when I write a text message or when I want to dial a phone number I don't know how to fix this problem, I don't hear the clicking noise anymore does anyone know how to fix this problem?

    My iphone dosen't doesn't make key tone sounds anymore when I write a text message or when I want to dial a phone number I don't know how to fix this problem, I don't hear the clicking noise anymore does anyone know how to fix this problem?And all the sounds on my phone are on, even the keyboard clicks.

    Try restarting your iPhone by holding down the on/off and the home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo, double check the volume button just in case.  If you still can't hear the tones go into your settings>sounds and make sure the options are on. 

  • HT1296 My daughter has an Ipod touch 3.1.3. I know it's old but she doesn't need it for much more than games and music. Does anyone know how or if I can update the Ipod 3.1.3 or is it too old? Thanks!

    My daughter has an Ipod touch 3.1.3. I know it's old but she doesn't use it for anything except games and music. Does anyone know how or if I can update this device or is it just too old?
    THanks!

    A first generation iPod touch can't be updated past 3.1.3. If it's a newer model, update it from iTunes on a computer, and if possible, the one it normally syncs with.

  • I have a new HP Officejet 6500A plus.  I cannot get it to connect to            my Airport Extreme V5.6.  It see the wifi signal but Fails on "Filtering" and possibly the channel.  Does anyone know how to reset or reconfigure filtering

    I have a new HP Officejet 6500A plus.  I cannot get it to connect to my Airport Extreme V5.6.  It see the wifi signal but Fails on "Filtering" and possibly the channel.  Does anyone know how to reset or reconfigure filtering and channel on the old airports?

    This is a part of the larger MacBook Pro connectivity issue. There are several related threads dealing with the MBP's networking problems. If your unit is suffering from this type of difficulty, good luck ... (or a long ethernet cable)
    (PS Everybody please make noise on this one so apple comes up with a solution.)

    I keep getting this error message when updating imovie "There was an error in the App Store. Please try again later. (20).  Does anyone know how to fix?

    If you're having problems with the App Store you might try this:
    1 - enable the Debug menu in App Store:
    open the Terminal application.
    copy the command below and paste into the Terminal window:
    defaults write com.apple.appstore ShowDebugMenu -bool true
    followed by Enter.
    launch App Store, login.
    2 - select the Debug ➙ Reset Application option:
    3 - try again.

  • Does anyone know how often camera raw is updated for new cameras I have a nikon D750

    HI, I was wondering how often camera raw is updated for new cameras as I have just got a Nikon D750 and at present cannot adjust raw files

    Thanks for the image sample, bsailus. I am also unable to open the file.
    A couple of questions.
    How did you import the image (Nikon transfer, Adobe Photo Downloader, etc.)?
    What was the in-camera quality setting for the image (NEF (RAW), Lossless compressed, 12-bit, 14-bit, etc.)?
    Thanks!
    - Chris

  • Does anyone know how to sync aol mail to your iPad mail?

    I am having problems accessing aol mail from safari.  It comes up in code format.  I can check my mail from the mail app however it says I have 2000 messages all of which were already deleted from my aol account.  I would like to sync the accounts so I don't have to manually delete 2000 messages.  The aol page allows you to sync a phone or an iPod.... No button for iPad.  If someone knows what I should do, all suggestions welcome!  Thanks so much!
