HT4623 Why will my iPad not upgrade to iOS 7? It is running iOS 5.1 and says it's current when I try to upgrade.

My iPad is running iOS 5.1, when I try to update software it says that 5.1 is the current version but would like to add apps that require 6.0 or higher. I have not been able to upgrade to ver 7.0.

If it's a first gen iPad (the one without any cameras on it) then it only supports up to iOS 5.1.1, it can't be updated to iOS 6 or 7.

    Why will my ipad not sync with calendars on my imac?

    I did find the info tab while trying to sync my calendars, but my iPhone5, iPhone 4S and iPad still won't sync to my MacBook Pro.
    Are you using Mac OS 10.9  Mavericks?
    There is no Info tab and you need to sync contacts & calendars via iCloud.

  • HT4623 Why does my IPad not have a Software Updates button in my General tab?

    Why does my IPad not have a Software Updates button in my General tab?

    The Settings > General > Software Update option only appears when you have iOS 5+ installed, if you have iOS 4 then you will need to do the update via your computer's iTunes.
    To update, connect the iPad to your computer's iTunes and copy any purchases off the iPad to your computer via File > Transfer Purchases. You may also want to copy photos and any important documents off the iPad as well e.g. via the file sharing section at the bottom of the device's apps tab when connected to iTunes, via wifi, email, dropbox etc - they should be included in the backup, but it's best to have a copy of them outside of the backup just in case. You can then force a backup of the iPad by right-clicking the iPad 'Device' on the left-hand side of iTunes and selecting 'Backup'.
    Then start the update by selecting the iPad on the left-hand side of iTunes, and on the Summary tab on the right-hand side clicking the Check For Updates button

    Your iPad should be updated to iOS 6.0.1 (which is the only version that is 'signed' by Apple), so you will lose the built-in YouTube app and the Maps app will change - though google do have app versions in the store

  • Why will my ipad not allow me to set up an email account?

    I have been trying to add an email account to my new ipad. i follow through all the steps from settings. I complete the incoming/outgoing details, add the password, click next it then starts verifying........from this point it freezes. the only way to reset the ipad is tp turn off and turn on again.
    Any suggestions? my email is an ntlworld email and the service provider is virgin.
    Thanks

    Quit the settings app completely and reboot the iPad and see if that will let you set up the account.
    Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • HT4623 Why will my iPad 1 not update to ios 7?

    I bought this iPad for my daughter and really rely on the "guided access" but I can't seem to find it on this iPad 1 and I am assuming it is due to the outdated operating system. I want it to update - do I need to jailbreak it for that to happen?

  • What is the most recent update to iPhoto?  I have a note about 9.5 yet my macPro has 9.4.3 and says I am current.

    What is the most recent update to iPhoto?  I am transferring my library from a remote drive to my macPro, using iPhoto library manager, and get a message that the pictures I am transferring are in iPhoto 9.5.  My computer has 9.4.3 and it says my software is up to date.

    iPhoto 9.5.1 is the most recent iPhoto version. However, iPhoto 9.4.3 is the last iPhoto version for your OS X version. If you want to use iPhoto 9.5.1, you need to upgrade to OS X Mavericks. You can download it from the Mac App Store.

  • Why does firefox hang up and say it "got confused", when I try to switch from using facebook as myself to using facebook as a page I manage?

    firefox hangs up and says it "got confused", when I try to switch from using facebook as myself to using facebook as a page I manage.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    * https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    * Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    * Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
    In Firefox 4 you can use one of these to start in <u>[[Safe mode]]</u>:
    * Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
    * Hold down the Shift key while double clicking the Firefox desktop shortcut (Windows)

  • Why does my IPad not sync with my IPhone for Ibooks bookmarks?

    Why does my IPad not sync with my IPhone for IBooks bookmarks?  Both Pad and Phone have sync turned on.

    I must apologize as I misread your post. I though that you were talking about Safari bookmarks but you post does clearly state iBooks bookmarks.
    You may want to just try restarting both devices and see if that helps. One other thing that you could try is quit iBooks on both devices and then launch it again and see if the bookmarks are synced when you relaunch.
