HT4623 My Ipad say that iOS 5.1.1 software is up to date. How do I update to iOS 7

How do I update my software to iOS 7 when my Ipad says that iOS 5.1.1 software is up to date?

If you have the original iPad 1, then iOS 5.1.1, is as high as you can go and that is the most up to date software that you can run.

I have an iPad that I want to update to IOS 5.1. I have several apps that each were installed using a different iTunes ID. How can I update the IOS without losing the apps?

To update your phone requires using the latest version of iTunes, on your computer, as well as Internet access. The update to iOS 5.0 or higher is an erase/restore deal, so you not only have to make sure all of the content, currently on your phone, is on your computer and accessible, you need to update iTunes first, have Internet access, then update your phone. There is no way around this fact. You could go to an Apple store or use another computer, but you run the risk of losing all of your data it you do that.

HT4623 I have the IPad 1 and it will not update any IOS above the 5.1.1, it gives a message that the software is up to date. Can I update the IOS system in the IPad 1

Try going to wi-fi then click the blue arrow on your connected network. From there go to DNS. Delete all the numbers and type in 8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4
When my update first wasn't coming up that worked incase your issue is similar to that.

How do I update my iOS? I have the iPad 1 and have tried over and over to try and update the iOS version to iOS 5.1, nothing works it will start updating then say that it did not update? PLEASE HELP!!!

How do I update my iOS? I have the iPad 1 and have tried over and over to try and update the iOS version to iOS 5.1, nothing works it will start updating then say that it did not update? PLEASE HELP!!! P.s I'm running newest version of iTunes.

Connect your iPad to your computer and let iTunes back up your iPad. After it does that disconnect it and go into your settings under general and under reset and select erase all content. After you do that reconnect to your computer, open iTunes and follow the screen options to set up your iPad as new. Once it is done doing that see if you have the latest version of iOS installed and if it does then either download gain the apps you had before or restore them from the backup made previous.

OverDrive has its own application for its media. See <http://omc.overdrive.com/v3-available-now/ios.php>. This has nothing to do with the Adobe Reader for iOS. Sorry!

Tried to backup ibooks to PC using iTools, now iTunes will not open the backup folder and my iPad says that it's storage is almost full

It appears that iTools has backed up on the iPad as well, I tried manage storage from settings but all storage settings are not enabled. I downloaded iTools on my PC and pressed the backup on iBooks in applications, it created a folder on my PC that iTunes on the PC cannot read. I stopped what was called backing up to local when I got a message from the iPad saying that storage was almost full.
So how do I 1- repair the iPad storage
2- backup the books in IBooks to my PC (they used to backup easily with iTunes but after the last update of iTunes they just would not)
Thanks

No, nothing at all happens. Once clicked the 'circle' that suggest it is loading appears (if that makes sense) but no, nothing
Many thanks.
Can you check something for me please?
Restart your PC. after the PC restarts, bring up your Task manager, and go to the "Processes" tab. Click "Image name" to sort the processes alphabetically.
Now try to launch iTunes.
Does an itunes.exe process appear? If so, does it vanish after a second or so, or does it persist in the Processes tab (even though iTunes itself never shows up)?

HT4972 I have an iPod touch 3rd generation with IOS 4.2.1 and the newest version of iTunes. However, when I press "check for updates" it says that IOS 4.2.1 is the current version. How do I update?

I have an iPod touch 3rd generation with IOS 4.2.1 and the newest version of iTunes. However, when I press "check for updates" it says that IOS 4.2.1 is the current version. How do I update?

I suspect you have a 2G iPod. Those can only go to iOS 4.2.1.
Identifying iPod models
iPod touch (3rd generation)
iPod touch (3rd generation) features a 3.5-inch (diagonal) widescreen multi-touch display and 32 GB or 64 GB flash drive. You can browse the web with Safari and watch YouTube videos with Wi-Fi. You can also search, preview, and buy songs from the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store on iPod touch.
The iPod touch (3rd generation) can be distinguished from iPod touch (2nd generation) by looking at the back of the device. In the text below the engraving, look for the model number. iPod touch (2nd generation) is model A1288, and iPod touch (3rd generation) is model A1318.

HT4623 My computer says that iTunes could not connect to the iTunes store. My internet connection is fine. How can I remedy this?

My iphone 4 has "died" - looks completely black, won't seem to recharge, can't turn it on or off. It does hum when I change from silent to non-silent. I have been able to back it up, and download any photos off it.
Before it died it ran out of battery really fast - which is not like it, but I've had it on the recharger now for over 10 hours. No go.
Before I take it to the genius bar I want to update to the latest software. 7.0.4 is recommended in iTunes.
But when I try to update it iTunes says "Itunes could not connect to the iTunes Store"
After reading some information about updating to IOS 7.0.4 I might be better to wait till the genius bar? Athough they might send me home again with no phone which I don't appreciate!

Thanks ckuan, that has at least got it opening and "looking likely". I had tried that, but perhaps not holding those two buttons for long enough...
It says no SIM card and is very slow. Have reinserted sim a few times and now registering sim. The screen where you have to enter your password to unlock the sim was 'patchy', not clearly showing. (e.g. the circles around the numbers seem to be coloured, not the usual plain white circles around the numbers/letters). Never seen that before.
Battery showing as full. I'll now and upgrade my software
Thanks very much for your help

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).

My iPad says that she is busy and is unable to accept my request even when everything is closed and nothing is being used. What might be the problem here?

My iPad says that she is busy and is unable to accept my request even when everything is closed and nothing is being used. What might be the problem here? 3 times my iPad has crashed while nothing was open or running and a small loading wheel would be moving signifying that the thing was loading something without permission. Even when the dang thing was on my personal wireless service that I pay for.

similar to what is happening to me....the difference is, after restoring itunes detect ipod and ask to restore again and again....
I know it may look kinda stupid but: just leave the ipod there for about 2 minutes, that's about the time my itunes is taking to detect my ipod...if it doesn't work, try connecting ur ipod to other computer with itunes (no need to sync, just to check if itunes will recognize) to check if the problem is with the ipod or with the itunes and/or computer.

HT4859 Help! What do I do if my IPad says that it cannot back up because my icloud storage doesn't have enough room. It directs me to either cancel or go to settings but the screen locked so I can't do either. Deleted photos/ videos already.

Help! What do I do if my IPad says that it cannot back up because my iCloud storage doesn't have enough room. It directs me to either "Cancel" or go to "Settings" but the screen is frozen and it won't let me do either. I have removed a lot of pictures and video that I had downloaded. Then tried to reconnect it to the computer to see if another attempt would prompt a back up with less need, but that did not help.
Does anyone have any quick fix ideas?
Thanks.

Reset it by holding the power and home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo, then release.
