HT4972 My iPad is running OS 4.3.3(8J2). I want to upgrade to OS 5 or higher

I can not find the upgrade link. Where can it be found?

If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 7.0.2. 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.

    Do Not post stuff about how Airplay doesnt work, because i dont have Apple TV and dont need to hear about it.

    If you have an external drive equal to or larger than your internal HD, clone your internal to it with either Carbon Copy Cloner or Super Duper. Test the clone to make sure it's bootable. Then upgrade either one. Try it out first.

  • I have an imac running on 10.5.8 and I want to upgrade to 10.6

    I have an iMac running OS X leopard 10.5.8 and I want to upgrade to OS X Lion. I know I have to upgrade to 10.6 Leopard first but I cant find it.
    Can someone pls send me the links for the upgrades I need to do in order to upgrade to OS X 10.7.2 Lion

    First you need to check that your current Mac meets the System Requirements for Both Snow Leopard and Lion...
    Snow Leopard Specs:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
    Lion Specs:
    http://www.apple.com/macosx/specs.html
    If it does... then you need to Purchase and Install Snow Leopard
    Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard
    And then Purchase and Install Lion...

    For Lion, Check the Compatibility of Third Party Applications Here:

  • HT4972 my ipad is running iOS 5.1.1, I never updated to iOS 6 when it was released, now I want to, but using iTunes it says it's up to date, there are no updates, how can I get it to update to iOS 6?

    how can I get it updated to iOS 6, then to iOS 7? I just get a message in iTunes that it is up to date now. Thanks for any help!

    I checked. Niel is right. It is frustrating. I got an iPad when they first came out and within 3 years it couldn't be upgraded. I've still been using it happily, although this summer I got an iPad mini. I plan on passing it down to my daughter.

  • I am running elements 9 on a PC and want to upgrade to 13. If I load 13 will it upgrade 9 and transfer all files or run separately?

    Will upgrading from elements 9 to 13 incorporate all files from 9 into 13, or will 13 run separately and if so how do I transfer files?

    Yes, that is correct. The organizer is just a database, so your photos are wherever you put them intially. Did you import from iphoto? In that case, organizer does make duplicates (to avoid writing into the iphoto library, which would be a Bad Thing to do). If you didn't specify a location, the copies that PSE uses will be inside subfolders in the Adobe folder in your Pictures folder.

    succes.
    I advise you to wait a little (except for the SL install) till after the first update of Lion, which is expected very soon. Also make sure that all apps that you want to run are Lion compatible.

  • I'm currently running ios 4.2.8, and i want to upgrade to ios 5

    iTunes is only giving me an option to upgrade to 4.2.10. Do i have to upgrade to 4.2.10 before i'm allowed to upgrade to ios5?

    You need to have iTunes 10.5 installed to be able to put iOS5 onto your device.

  • I've searched to no avail for this problem. Similar posts but none that tell me what to do. I can't add or delete any bookmarks on my iPad 2 running the newest iOS. I know how it's suppose to work, it just isn't working!

    It started after the major update to iOS 7.
    I can't believe that this is so hard to do. It's just not letting me. I can add a bookmark to the home screen just fine, just not in a bookmarks folder anywhere I try.
    I've used Apple products since 2001 and have always loved how intuitive they are. But the Safari browser since iOS 7 has been the worst I've experienced. At least right in the beginning after that update.
    I'd really appreciate any help that doesn't just tell me how it's suppose to work...I know that.
    My iPad 4 is not affected with the problem and works as it should.

  • How do i get my ipad to run itunes 10.6

    how do i get my ipad to run itunes 10.6

    If you haven't already done so then you need to download and install iTunes on your computer and add your music to it (File > Add To Library) and you should then be able to connect your iPad to your computer and sync your music to it.
    Syncing music : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1351
    If you have iTunes 11 on your computer then you may find the instructions on that page easier to follow if you enable the left-hand sidebar via option-command-S on a Mac, control-S on a PC)
    If you haven't synced the iPad to that computer before then you may also find this page useful : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141

  • HT201251 I want to use 30  ipads to run kiosk software in my restaurant. Can I use one Apple ID (and one credit card) for all devices

    I want to use 30  ipads to run kiosk software in my restaurant. Can I use one Apple ID (and one credit card) for all devices?

    Alternatively you can always manage your iPads (does not matter how many) with a single apple id and all reporting to your account under "find my device" service. Keeping an eye on all your units. Additionally as you mentioned these are for your Restaurant you may find the solutions offered by this company who creates apps and hardware for this purpose: http://www.spartakioskpro.com
    Additionally if you expand beyond those 30 iPads to say 300 you will want to enable or plan on MDM as your best option to automate every ipad to use the same profile and app and ios configuration while also keeping a close eye on all of them via online MDM services like: https://meraki.cisco.com/products/systems-manager

  • Why are most of the apps (anything that has to search) on my iphone4 and ipad (1) running very slow (or not at all) since iOS5 update...esp google. Search seems to go quickly, but then when I try to open a link..nothing. I have turned off icloud.

    I am having the same problem. Did turning off iCloud work? Did you just turn everything off or did you actually delete the account off your iPod?

  • How do I retrieve the Identifier number from iPad 2, running iOS 5.1.1?

    I am trying to de-bug a game on my daughter's iPad 2, running iOS 5.1.1, and want to send the Advertising Identifier number to the game developer. However, I seem to be unable to retrieve the number.
    I tried downloading the app "the identifiers," but whenever I click "i" to enable numbers, it crashes.
    Also, when I visit the apple support page for retrieving the advertising identifier name, it says to enter "oo.apple.com" on the device, but that link seems to only redirect back to itself.
    Very frustrating. How else might I locate the Advertising Identifier?
    Message was edited by: chris romano

    Oh, another mistake on my part!
    I need to ENABLE the identifier on the iPad2 iOS 5.1.1... this should get The Identifier app working, and then I can read the number and tell them.
    However, on iOS 5.1.1, there is no Settings > Privacy > Advertising that I have been able to find.
    I apologize for all the fumbles on my end... I put this problem down a week ago and I am just picking it back up, so I kind of forgot some important details. Doh!
