  • HT4972 I can't update my ipad from my PC.  It keeps saying "update server could not be contacted".  I've checked my connections and everything is fine.  What can I do?

    Hello.  I've tried to update my iPad, but iTunes keep saying that "update server could not be contacted".  My iPad does not have the option of wireless software update.  Please, help!

    Try temporarily disabling your firewall and/or anti-virus software on the computer. You could also try logging out and back in to your itunes/AppleID account.

  • Can I update several iPads from one downloaded iOS 7 update

    Hi there,
    I need to update several ipads to iOS7 and was wondering if it's possible to download the update once, perhaps through iTunes, and then updating all the iPads from that.
    I can't see if this is an available option anywhere. All the iPads are under my appleid if that makes any difference. I'm on iTunes 11 as well.
    Thanks in advance,
    Maz

    Hi there,
    Actually, there is a way to do this... There are various updates on the net for each specific model... i.e. 3G or WiFi, generation 2, 3, or 4 etc...
    Download the specific update as a downloadable file from the internet.
    Save it on the desktop (or wherever).
    Attach the ipad to the PC and iTunes will say that there is an update available. DO NOT run this but cancel.
    Run a backup of the iPad. (And also perhaps, copy all the pics/other files etc. and save them to your PC)
    Press <Shift> and Update button on the Summary screen in iTunes and navigate to source file (which in my case is on the desktop).
    Perform the update.
    Go through the setup procedure on the iPad without doing any further restores etc. No further action SHOULD be necessary from iTunes.
    Note: all the updates worked without having to do a restore of the backup I made but obviously, it's best to do one just in case.
    All files/apps/photos/music were left intact.
    Good luck.

  • I cannot update my iPad and notes it cannot be updated due to unknown error (6). I have not yet updated my Macbook to Yosemite (which I do not intend to do so yet) so would this be the problem and if so, how can I update the iPad?

    Hi glhiker,
    I understand that you may be having some issues with your ability to update your iPad. Here is an article that references your error code and can help you take some steps to resolve it:

    Check your security software
    Related errors: 2, 4, 6, 9, 1000, 1611, 9006. Sometimes security software can prevent your device from communicating with either the Apple update server or with your device.
    Check your security software and settings to make sure that they aren't preventing a connection to the Apple servers.

  • HT4623 I don't have the "software update" in general setting .. How can I update my iPad ?

    I don't have the "software update" in general setting .. How can I update my iPad ?

    Software updates to iOS can only be done from the iPad when you have iOS 5. You will need to update through iTunes to get the latest version, after which you will be able to update directly from the iPad if you wish.

    Again, iTunes only keeps one normal backup, per device. Any other backups listed are backups created from restore points. These are time/date stamped & are not overwritten.
