HT4972 I am unable to update to ios5 because of a very old computer, how else can I update it?

My computer is so old that I am unable to download the latest ITunes update so I am unable to update my IPad to the IOS 5 update.  My IPad is about 2 years old and was originally purchased at Best Buy. I called Best Buy to see if they could download it for me if I brought it in to the store and they said they could for $30 but they wouldn't guarantee that no data would be lost. Is there any way else I can do the update?  I know the iOS 6 update is coming soon and I didn't know if I needed to have the ios5 update done first or can I get the ios6 update done without the ios5 update.  Please give me some advice?  Thank you!

Johnathan Burger is actually wrong. I updated to iOS 6 wirelessly with my phone today and when I went over my moms house today I let her know there was a new iOS as she just purchased a new iPad. I updated the iPad which already had 5 on it. After realizing I couldn't download iOS 6 wirelessly I plugged it into my computer and it forced my into downloading and installing 5.1 before letting me go to iOS 6. Not sure if you can bypass this somehow but simply upgrading from iTunes it forced me to do both.

  • HT4623 I. Can't find software update in the general setting . How else can I update my iPod touch.

    Don't have update software under the general settings. How do I update my iPod touch iOS to 4.3 or higher?

    The option to update without the computer (Over the air) was made available with iOS 5. If your iDevice is using a version of iOS lower than 5, you will need to use iTunes on your syncing computer to perform the upgrade. Use the Apple link below as a guide for the upgrade.

    Also read the instructions from the section entitled "Update your device using iTunes" at the link below.

    Information regarding transferring purchases from your iDevice to iTunes on your syncing computer can be found at the link below.

  • I'm trying to upgrade to IOS5 but I get an error 0xE8000067 and I can't update. What do I do?

    Like I said above, I am trying to update to iOS5 but I have a problem.
    When I try to update it says that it is backing up. But after about 5 minutes I get a 0xE8000067 error. I found someone saying to transfer purchases and if there is one app that keeps trying to transfer but doesn't, to just delete it. But that's the problem. There is an app that keeps trying to transfer, but the problem is... I deleted that app. So it is trying to transfer an app that no longer exists. I tried redownloading it and everything but it still fails.
    I really, REALLY don't want to continue with it and lose everything on it so I would extremely like some advice.

    See http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3221 and Error 0xE8000067 while updating to iOS5? for possible help.

    edit the hosts file on your computer and remove any lines that contain gs.apple.com. Disable your antivirus and firewall.

  • I have the iPhone 5s. I synced it with my Mac and got all the old apps from my old phone. I was not able to update any of the apps on the old phone and they will not update on the new iPhone 5s either! What can I do?

    Hey there rmflint,
    It sounds like you are wanting to update the Apps that were synced over from your computer to your new iPhone 5s. If you are clicking Updates in the App Store in the bottom right corner, would you mind clarifying what happens when you are trying to update them?

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that you want to use JavaScript to work with SharePoint list.
    To create list items, we can create a ListItemCreationInformation object, set its properties, and pass it as parameter to the addItem(parameters) function
    of the List object.
    To set list item properties, we can use a column indexer to make an assignment, and call the update() function so that changes will take effect when you callexecuteQueryAsync(succeededCallback,
    failedCallback). 
    And to delete a list item, call the deleteObject() function on the object. 
    There is an MSDN article about the details steps of this topic, you can have a look at it.

  • HT1338 i have i mac 7,1 with os x 10.5.8 how i can i update it?

    I have I mac 7,1 with OS x 10.5.8 how I can I update it?

    Requirements for OS X 10.6 'Snow Leopard'
    http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
    Whilst Apple have withdrawn Snow Leopard from their stores, you can still get it from Apple by calling 1-800-MY-APPLE (if you are in the USA) and they will supply the SL DVD for $30.  You can also purchase the code to use to download Lion from the same number.
    If you are outside the US call your national Apple Helpline:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
    If you're in the UK, use this number: 0871 508 4400
    When you have installed it, run Software Update to download and install the latest updates for Snow Leopard.

  • Can iMac be updated or just get new one? On iMac with OSX10.5.8, 2Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo--it's so much slower than iPad. It hasn't had cache cleaned or "First aid". I'm wondering if a computer store/techie can clean/update it or better to put $$ towards new

    If you want to clean up your hard drive some, here are some of my tips, also.
    Hard drive getting full or near full?
    Do a search for and downlaod and install OmniDisk Sweeper and OnyX.
    Here are some of my tips for deleting or archiving data off of your internal hard
    Have you emptied your iMac's Trash icon in the Dock?
    If you use iPhoto, iPhoto has its own trash that needs to be emptied, also.
    If you use Apple Mail app, Apple Mail also has its own trash area that needs to be emptied, too!
    Other things you can do to gain space.
    Delete any old or no longer needed emails and/or archive older emails you want to save to disc, Flash drive/s or to ext. hard drive.
    Look through your Documents folder and delete any type of old useless type files like "Read Me" type files.
    Again, archive to disc, Flash drive or ext. hard drive and/or delete any old documents you no longer use or immediately need.
    Uninstall apps that you no longer use. If the app has a dedicated uninstaller, use it to completely uninstall the app. If the app has no uninstaller, then just drag it to the OS X Trash icon  and empty the Trash.
    Also, if you save old downloaded  .dmg application installer  files, you can either archive and delete these or just delete the ones you think you'll never install, again.
    Download an app called OnyX for your version of OS X.
    When you install and launch it, let it do its thing initially, then go to the cleaning and maintenance tabs and run all of the processes in the tabs. Let OnyX clean out all web browser cache files, web browser histories, system cache files, delete old error log files.
    Typically, iTunes and iPhoto libraries are the biggest users of HD space.
    If you have any other large folders of personal data or projects, these should be thinned out, moved, also, to the external hard drive and then either archived to disc, Flash drive or ext. hard drive and/or deleted off your internal hard drive.
    Good Luck!

  • Keep getting a mail pop up "enter password for account "SBC." ATT says I need to update my Mac mail server program. Anyone know how I can do this?

    I keep getting an annoying pop up for mail "Enter password for account "SBC."  I enter my password but it still pops up. But I can still get my mail when I click on "Get mail."  I called ATT and they said they are aware of the problem with Mac users and that I have to update my Mac Mail server program. Anyone know how I can do this? They want to charge me.

    RE: "Mail, Contacts and Calendars preferences can't connect to the Yahoo account "bellsouth.net".
    I recently changed my ATT U-Verse password…and Mail quit working… it wouldn't send or receive, Safari worked fine.  I tried to send an email and a warning message popped up, "Mail, Contacts and Calendars preferences can't connect to the Yahoo account "bellsouth.net". In smaller type the next sentence read, "Enter the password for user [email protected]". The Password box was highlighted in blue so I just typed in my new password and my email message was immediately sent…but… I still couldn't receive messages AND the above "can't connect" warning message kept popping up on the screen at random.
    Here's the Fix that worked for me. (The problem is that the new password was changed/updated on the keychains "smpt.att.yahoo.com" name-but- the name "pop.att.yahoo.com" didn't update to my new password).
    Go to your Utility windows and select Keychain Access. Under Category select Passwords. Now check your password for your current (newest dated) name, "smpt.att.yahoo.com". Now check the password under, "pop.att.yahoo.com". Mine wasn't the same as my newest password found in my
    "smpt.att.yahoo.com" window so I deleted my old password in the "pop.att.yahoo.com" window and typed in my new password, then selected "Save Changes". MY MAIL NOW WORKED…and no more warning messages cropped up. Problem was fixed.

    If you mean you changed your iTunes Store account ID, you can't update any apps purchased under your old account.

    You cannot delete it or download it.
    It is likely on another page, in a folder or you have restrictions set.
