HT4623 why cant i update my ipad
I am not sure which Ipad I have (I suspect the oldest version possible) but it will not allow me to update the software on it. Any ideas?
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.

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.

HT4623 Why cant I update my iPad 1st generation
Why can't I update my iPad it's generation
iOS 5.1.1 is the highest that you can go on the original iPad.

why I cannot update my ipad from 5.1.1 to latest versions? Some of the apps wouldn't work on the 5.1.1 . To buy a new ipad,would be a rip off. What is the solution?
The original iPad does not have the memory and processing power to run more recent version of the iOS. 5.1.1 is the latest it can run.

Hello Hana-Morris,
I would be be concerned too if I was not able to update my iPhone. If you have not resolved the issue, I recommend following the steps in the article below for an issue like this:
If you can't update or restore your iOS device

As always, it is a good idea to create a backup before hand:

HT4972 why cant i update my sons iphone 3gs to ios5 from ios4? it wont let me download him any apps?

IF you actually have a 3GS, follow the instructions in the article from which the question was posted and you will be able to update to iOS6.
If you have a 3G, iOS 4.2.1 is as high as it can go. -

i cant update my ipad its gives me 3004 eror can anyone help me update it
Read this.
Errors 3000-3999 (3004, 3013, 3018, 3164, 3194, and so on): Error codes in the 3000 range generally mean that iTunes can't contact the update server (gs.apple.com) on ports 80 or 443.
Update to the latest version of iTunes.
Verify the computer's date and time are accurate.
Check that your security or firewall software isn't interfering with ports 80 or 443 or with the server gs.apple.com.
Follow these steps to troubleshoot security software. Often, uninstalling third-party security software will resolve these errors.
An entry in your hosts file may be redirecting requests to gs.apple.com (go to "Unable to contact the iOS software update server gs.apple.com" above).
Internet proxy settings can cause this issue. If you're using a proxy, try again without using a proxy.
Test restoring while connected to a known-good network.
Error 3004: If you're using a Mac, you may be able to resolve an error 3004 by quitting iTunes and using the following command in the command line: dscacheutil -flushcache. -

Why cant i update my apps on my iphone ipad ipod
How could anyone here possibly know when no details about what happens when trying to update them has been provided? We are not mind readers.

why cant i update my apps
One thing to check is to see if you have any items waiting to download in iTunes (on your iPhone).
The most recent time I had this problem, I checked there and found 5 items that hadn't downloaded properly. Once cleared, things started updating again.
It looks like there's a system-wide download queue, and, unlike the non-iPhone versions, it will only download one item at a time. So, if one item gets stuck, the others wait patiently behind it until its their turn, like polite people on an escalator. Pausing or deleting the troublesome download will allow the others to continue. -
Hi. My itunes library is in current 10.5.2 but my old ipod touch 4th or 3rd gen is not updating at all its still in current 4.2 and there is some apps i cant download that requires a 4.3 update but in my itunes it wont. Please help!
Are you sure you have a 4g/3g iPod? If you don't have a camera, it's definitely not 4G. If it has no camera and is 8 or 16 Gb it is a 2G and can't go beyond 4.2.1.

Why cant I backup my ipad to my computer
Why cant I backup my ipad to my computer, there is plenty of memeory.
Personally I'd continue to backup to your mac, I see iCloud backup as a means to backup for those that don't have a mac/PC or are otherwise regularly away from it.

Why cant i update to os 10.7.5
why cant i update to os 10.7.5?
If you're still running 10.6.3, you'll need to update to 10.6.8 to get the App Store. Since you didn't supply any information about your Mac, Lion might not be a good match for you.
After you have the App Store, Lion can be ordered here: http://store.apple.com/us/product/D6106Z/A/os-x-lion -

Try disabling your computer's security software during the downloading and installation. I found that rebooting my router and modem helped too.
