HT4623 I want to restore my iPad.

I want to restore my iPad to factory settings, but when I try to it tries to download iOS 5.1.1 before I can restore. I have already updated the iPad with iOS 5.1.1 using wifi. My itunes says that the iPad is updated, and yet it still wants to download iOS 5.1.1. Can someone please help.

If you restore your to "factory" a fresh copy of the iOS operating system is installed thus it will download iOS 5.1.1.

HT4623 I want to purchase a ipad 32gb in the larger size but have read many bad reviews that the wifi does not stay connected and I don't want to have to buy another data package as I already own an iphone that i pay data for, what are my concerns

I want to purchase an ipad 32gb in the larger size buy have read many bad reviews that they have problems staying connected to wifi. I don't want to have to buy a data package so I only want the wifi one. I already pay apple for my iphone data and I can't afford more money. Why are there so many bad reviews and are the newer ones that much better, according to many reviews they are not.Please help

I already pay apple for my iphone data
You pay your carrier for data, not Apple.
Why are there so many bad reviews
Where? Regardless, there are always going to be a handful of people having some sort of issue with any given device, but I would not therefore assume that you would be one of them.

HT4623 I want to update my iPad

I want to update my iPad to the current operating system from 4.3.3. When I go to settings and then general I don't see an update option. Please advise. Thanks

The option to update without the computer (Over the air) was made available with iOS 5. If your iDevice is using a version of iOS lower than 5, you will need to use iTunes on your syncing computer to perform the upgrade. Use the Apple link below as a guide for the upgrade.

Connect via cable to a computer with iTunes. From iTunes, select the iPad and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and do not restore from backup.

You have to be running iOS 5 in order to update via the iPad settings. You are running 4.3. You will have to update via the latest version of iTunes on a computer. After you update to iOS 5.1.1, you will be able to do OTA updates from the settings on the iPad.

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 cancelling 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.
 Cheers, Tom

HT1414 I want to restore the iPad to factory settings. The IOS software on the iPad is up to date and I have limited space on my PC C Drive. Why does iTunes keep trying to download the iPad software again when it is already up to date?

The restore won't complete because there isn't enough space on the C Drive. I have placed a copy of the software update on the D drive, but don't know how to redirect iTunes to that folder to extract the software. I can't extend my C Drive

Assuming you have a iPad 1, I wqould do a manual update using these instructions:

Just received a replacement ipad2 and I pressed start iPad as new by mistake. I wanted to restore my iPad by syncing it with iTunes. Can anyone help with this?

Just received a replacement ipad2 and I'm having trouble syncing it with my pc. I started my iPad as new instead of using the restoring option, is there any way I can get my old apps, songs etc restored on my replacement iPad?

You've already set it up as new? Go into the settings and general and reset and reset everything. THen plug it back in and iTunes will, hopefully, see it as new again and you can choose the restore option.
