HT4623 Tried to get an app and it said I needed to download IOS5, however on my settings, I do not see a "software update ".                                          ngs page I do not see

Tried to get an app from app store and it said I needed to download iOS 5.1. Treks to follow directions here and on my settings page it doesn't have an option for "software updates". Any help?

If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.1.3. 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).
Tip 2 - If you're updating via wifi, place your iPad close to your router to preclude getting a corrupted download.

    You'll have to reset them.  Go to https://appleid.apple.com, click on manage your account on the right, sign in, click on Password and Security on the left, look for the link to reset your security questions to the right.  This will send a reset email to your rescue email address.

    Hi morgangang,
    Although that message is not listed in the following article, I would still go through it for help.  Things like installing in safe mode may help.

    Troubleshooting Tips
    Make sure your computer meets the system requirements.
    Try running ScanDisk to verify that the directory is OK. This is an important step to take before installing any software.
    Try running the stand-alone version of the QuickTime installer in "Safe Mode." It is available here. This can help to isolate issues with background applications, and some driver conflicts.
    Make certain you have installed the most recent drivers for your sound and video cards. Even if you have a "brand new" computer, it is not guaranteed to have the most recent software installed. Contact the manufacturer of your sound and video cards for additional information.
    Make certain you have installed a recent version of DirectX.
    Errors are usually related to software conflicts, unusable files, or incompatibilities. They can also be related to specific hardware combinations, and sometimes the way in which the hardware is configured. Keep in mind that an error message does not necessarily point to a particular cause or solution. Since there can be many different causes for a particular symptom, some suggestions may not work, and you may need to discover a solution on your own.
    Note: Please contact Microsoft Corporation or your computer vendor for help configuring Microsoft Windows.

  • Tried to install iOS 7 and it said I needed to connect my phone to iTunes, so I did and then it said my phone wasn't updated to the software now my phone isn't working!

    Tried to install iOS 7 and it said I needed to connect my phone to iTunes, so I did and then it said my phone wasn't updated to the software now my phone isn't working! all it's doing is showing a iTunes logo with a charger thing under it and won't let me cancel or anything

    After connecting your iPhone to the computer did you restore using the iTunes on your computer?

    I have the latest iTunes but am unable to update my phone or my ipad 2 I have been in to the shop and they said I need to download a different type of iTunes for wifi I have a desk top with windows vista and wifi can you please help

    We'll need more information before anyone can be of much help. What model iPhone is it, what versions of iOS are running on the iPad 2 now, what exactly are you trying to update, and what version of iTunes are you running? And what exactly is going wrong (include error messages if any).
    Once we have that information, someone here can probably offer advice. Note that you cannot sync content or upgrade iOS wirelessly until you get your iPhone and iPad up to iOS 5 and that requires that you connect those devices to your computer via the Dock-USB cable.
    Regards.

  • I am trying to access my FAFSA application, and it said I needed to download a browser they supported so I chose Mozilla, but I still cannot access it.

    I am still getting same error message to download a browser theysupport

    I notice you posted from a Galaxy Tab...
    Is the problem with Firefox for Android? FAFSA might not be supporting mobile browsers yet. In other words, when they say Firefox, I suspect they mean Firefox for desktop computers. Do they mention any mobile options?
    If the problem is Firefox on a desktop computer, could you provide more information about the Firefox version and operating system?

  • Ive just got a new iPhone4 and I am trying to get the App's ie games from my iPhone3 onto the 4 and retain the same levels that I have reached on the 3, The Apps have gone onto the 4 but its making me re-start everything from level 1?

    Ive just got a new iPhone4 and I am trying to get the App's ie games from my iPhone3 onto the 4 and retain the same levels that I have reached on the 3,
    The Apps have gone onto the 4 but its making me re-start everything from level 1?
    Ive paid $$ for the games and then more $$ within the games via iTunes for in game purchases and desperatly want the games on the 4 with the levels that I have reached on the 3!
    Can anyone help!! Please!!!! My Smurfs and Animals are starving Hahahaha

    Mate, it's good to hear that you have gotten the iPhone 4 but sorry to burst your bubbles. Not all games can have the "saved" data ported over.
    Normally when you save a game in iPhone, the memory used is in the flash memory of the device. Those that can be ported over, reason is due to the data being saved over the air and when you logged in on a new device, it recognises you via the userID.
    Maybe you can try to backup your iPhone 3, and restore the file onto your iPhone 4. Not too sure if that would brick your phone though.

    That's a peculiar one to get in the context of a QuickTime uninstall.
    Which particular version of QuickTime for Windows are you currently running? (7.7.5, 7.7.4, something earlier?)

  • I am trying to backup my apps and I've already authorized my computer, but I get an error saying I need to authorize my computer.

    I am trying to backup my apps and I've already authorized my computer, but it's giving me the error that I need to authorize my computer even though I already have.

    I am having a similiar problem.  I did not ever have the problem with Lion and my 4gen iPad.
    I allowed the Mavericks update just about the same time that AppleCare put a new Motherboard in this computer, so I don't know if either of those has anything to do with this or not? (4 year old MBP 17 dual i7)
    But now when I reboot my MBP, it tells me that this computer is not authorized to play, sync, etc.. with my iPod (or iPhone) and asks me for my password.  With I enter it, I get a message that says "This computer is already authorized".  I have 4 Apple ID's and it asks me to enter that information for every single one and then tells me that the computer is already authorized.
    How can I enter this ONCE and make it stick?
    Thanks,

    What computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 12 running on? Did you have the opportunity to update 12 to 12.1 Update yet using an opened project's Help Menu/Update? If not, please do so when you get the opportunity.
    For now I will assume that your computer is Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit. Please try the following suggestions to overcome your Premiere Elements Sign In issue.

  • Was trying to get Amazon App only available in US store. Switched stores and now can't get back to the Australian store. How do I get back?

    I know this has featured before in discussions but none of the answers helped me. I followed a prompt to switch to the US App Store. Then tried to buy an app and got told to switch back to Australian store. Can't seem to get back to the Australian store.

    thanks ..I wish the iPad had an easier way of deselecting a switch to another store. I was searching for a newspaper app and it advised me  to switch stores, so I tapped into a switch. I wasn't able to download the app. as this store was restricting Australian access as it turned out. However, there was no request to switch back to where I came from and I got stuck in this store and couldn't take any updates to my apps until I found this way of getting back...grrrrrrrr...but thankyou for the info on how to reset your home country store.
