Updated iPad to ios5, now getting error message

Just updated iPad to ios5 today. Now when plugging into my wired Apple iPad Keyboard Dock, I get the "accessory not supported for charging" message. Advice please.

First of all: before you upgrade, always make a backup of your device in iTunes!
The following happens when upgrading to iOS 5 (this is different from previous system upgrades!):
The installer creates automatically a restore file
Then a clean system is installed on your device, all your data will be removed. Don't panic, this will be ok later on.
When the os is updated you get a few configuration questions (i.e. language settings).
At one point you're given a choice:
configure device as a new device
restore from iCloud
restore from iTunes
Unless you want to start all over, choose the third option.
All your settings will be restored at first and your device will restart.
Now comes the tricky bit: After restart your device will work fine as if the process is finished. i.e. you can send and recieve mails. At this point you will not see the apps you had installed, also you're photo's and movies will not be on your device. (I was fooled buy this one at first too)
Do not disconnect your device or quit iTunes! In the background iTunes is still restoring the rest of your data. (Switch to iTunes and you'll see the progress.) This can take some time, depending on how much apps you had installed. One by one you'll see apps appearing on your device. You can't use the untill the whole restore is finished.
When all apps are back, your photo's and video's will be restored.
So please be patient. It took me more than an hour to get everything back in place.
The only small annoyance: there are new Apple-apps added to the homescreen. They're 'pushed' to the second screen by your own homescreen apps, leaving your second screen almost empty. Now you only have to rearrange the apps on the second screen.
If all turns out bad, because you unplugged your device too early, go back to your restore file you made yourself before upgrade. (You did do that, didn't you?) and start the process all over.

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).

-5000 error updating iPad to ios5

Trying to update my iPad to ios5 and I'm getting an error that reads.
An error occured while backing up this iPad (-5000). Would you like to continue to update this iPad?
Continuing will result in the loss of all contents on this iPad.
So far I've done a hard reset of the iPad twice, rebooted my PC a couple times which is running Windows 7. Deleted the one backup in the iTunes software and still getting this error.
Any ideas?

I expierenced the same (-5000) error message and took the advise of Jindisek and Disabled all of my Antivirus software and everything executed flawlessly.....Thanks Jindisek!
Ditto - although two issues needed to be resolved:
1. PC Tools Spyware Doctor was preventing back-up on iTunes start. Thanks Rootmail on another thread who advised:
Solved--at least for me under Windows 7. Spyware Doctor by PCTools caused the problem but they fixed it and noted it on their support forum. It also fixed an issue where the iTunes store was not appearing in iTunes though the store appeared properly in browsers. Their fix addressed both issues for me.
The iPad once again backs up and syncs properly on the Windows machine, and the iTunes store appears properly.
Short version: I was using Spyware Doctor with Anti-Virus version 8.0.0.651. The issue has been fixed in version 8.0.0.662. Simply download the new version http://www.pctools.com/mirror/sdasetup.exe
Full story: http://www.pctools.com/forum/showthread.php?69160-Problems-with-Spyware-Doctor-2 011-and-iTunes-10.4
2. Then, after reading Jindisek I disabled Spyware Doctor and upgade proceeded with out an issue.
Yes, fckybast answer is hardy deserving of Correct Answer status

I update my ipad to ios5....my apps 80% crashed ....... What should i do, help :(. Apple pls do something, or maybe i should wait for windows 8 on tablet

If the Apple pre installed apps are working OK and it is the third party apps that are crashing, try downloading another app - any free app will work. Sometimes that resets the other apps.

HT4623 updated ipad mini last night with the ios 7.6 and now am unable to restart the pad, we have tried charging it completely and have had no luck in restarting it

updated ipad mini last night with the ios 7.6 and now am unable to restart the pad, we have tried charging it completely and have had no luck in restarting it

First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. It could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here. You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without be charged again. Also, if you have IOS-7, read this.

HT4623 Updating iPad software

Recieved gift of iPad Mini (purchased in Europe). Have been using cable modem at home, so while re-installing wifi modem router decided to attempt to update iPad software (to iOS 7) via iTunes. Apparently it takes 15 hours to download!! Is this correct please and is it faster using wifi connection?

Probably faster using wifi. The update is about a gig. Which takes a while to download.
If you have an Apple store nearby you can call them and see if they can help you. Or see if you can use a friend's cable internet wifi to do the update.

Updated iPad to ios5 I want window tabs back how can I get it back

How can I get window tabbing back. I updated to ios5 and do not lie the new tabs

Safari on iOS 5 uses tabbed browsing, thumbnail/page browsing is not possible. I think that the iCab Mobile browser supports thumbnail/pages browsing, or you could try leaving feedback for Apple and maybe in a future iOS version we'll get the choice : http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html

How long to update ipad to ios5

Hi
I have just started to update my ipad2 to IOS5. It has been connected for over two hours now and doesn't seem to be going anywhere.
The ipad does not have much on it only a few emails.
All my photos seem to have dissapeared.
Any ideas please.
John.

Joshe,
I have the original ipad, so i can give you my experience.
It will take a while, but not 2 hours. Also, i hope you did a backup before updating. With mine, even with a backup, everything went back to original state. But once I synced, it reloaded my photos and music fine. The applications did not. A few reloaded, and even some i never had on my system. But... When i went to the app store, the ones i had, reloaded at no charge. For example, PAGES didn't show up when i reloaded, so i thought i lost all my documents. But once i did the download again, it was free and all my docs were there. When i updated originally, the app reload seemed like nothing was happening . So i cancelled and reloaded one at a time and it worked fine. I think it was having trouble downloading too many at once.
So, the ios 5 load and sync took about 30 minutes, but the apps and reload of data took longer. I had about 300 songs, 3 movies, 150 photos, 10 documents and about 50 apps. I hope this helps.

Do you have the search bar on the upper right hand side of the iTunes Store App screen? If you do, tap it and see if you can search for anything........
