TWhy must I erase iOS 4 , (restore) iPads 2 to move forward with updates? I don't understand this. Why such an inconvience?

Because that is how all iOS upgrades are done. The device must first be erased. If you don't like the inconvenience then you are free to do nothing or continue to complain about it. It's your choice.

Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
Try This - Renew IP Address:
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Why is it that it takes ages to watch a movie bought on the Itunes store, compared to Netflix which is instant? I don't understand this?

Why is it that it takes ages to watch a movie bought on the Itunes store, compared to Netflix which is instant? I don't understand this? I can watch a two and a half hour movie on netflix and it'll take maybe a minute to buffer but when I want to watch something I bought on itunes it always takes like six hours to watch a movie about an hour and a half?

I am currently having the same problem. Did you ever get this resolved?
Thanks.

HT5129 I don't understand this. Why it is doing this.

I hate iCloud! Why has Apple made it impossible to download my photos?
I don't even understand how this **** Apple email works!
Look! I get a notice that tells me my photos were save in MobileSomething and I can't download them onto my phone. And the message is right, I can't load them onto my phone. I really hate iCloud. Its the worst thing that Apple has come up with.

Notes from my iPad won't synchronise with my iPhone and my iCloud portal, Why?

I use icloud on all my IOS device and on my icloud portal from every computer I work with.
All apps I see on the iCloud portal are very useful. I have begin to work with them and they are very useful because it is suppose to synchronise with my iPhone and my iPad as well. All exept for the Notes app. The information I wrote in stopped to synchronise a few months ago, I use to have the same information everywhere but now some information I wrote on my iPad are not synchro with my iPhone and my "iPortal".
Is there a way to force the synchronisation between all iCloud devices and portal?
Where is the button?

I have solved my problem...
Thanks anyway

5s 8.1 iOS: Restore errors 4005. Won't update or restore

Hi Guys,
I downloaded the 8.1 update via the latest iTunes and connected my 5s to update.
The update failed and i got the 4005 restore error: iOS: Restore errors 4005, 4013, and 4014
Now when turn on the 5s it just shows the symbol to connect to iTunes.
So I plug in and get this:
I click 'Restore' then get this
So I click 'Restore and Update', then I get Restore Error 4005 again and get stuck in an infinite loop!
I did create a backup yesterday so I'm not worried about any lost data.
I have deleted the update and I'm downloading again now. I will also try with a different USB cable and on a different PC.
Any suggestions or a fix would be much appreciated?
Thanks.

Also FYI: The USB cable is a new authentic Apple lighting cable
Okay so I deleted and downloaded the update via iTunes again, plugged in the 5s via USB and still get:
After Restore and Update: 'Extracting software...'
Then:
Then:
Then:
'Extracting software...
Then: Preparing iPhone for install.
Now:
And the 'Connect to iTunes symbol' disappears leaving the screen still turned on but all black.
Then after a few minutes:
Hope that helps...

Ipad mini is stuck with the message 'this ipad hasn't been backed up in 5 weeks....' if you click the OK button nothing happens, cannot get rid of the message and cannot even power off b/c the message is on the screen.
The ipad had not been backed up b/c it kept saying not enough storage available

A reset may help. Tap and hold the Home button and the On/Off buttons for approximately 15-20 seconds, until the Apple logo reappears. When the logo appears, release both buttons.
No content is affected by this procedure.

Why can't 4.01 connect after updating from Firefox 4? I must use a system restore to get back online with Firefox 4, using Vista Home Basic SP2.

Firefox is my default browser. Recently I updated from 3.5 to 4.0 with no problem. Then, using 4.0, the new update notice appeared. I clicked to update to 4.01, but after downloading, 4.01 could no longer connect to any web page, and displayed the error connecting message (including "server may be busy, wait and try again" etc.). It never did connect. Yet Internet Explorer was able to, which I loathe to use even as a back up browser. I also checked to see if IE9 had stolen the default browser association, but it hadn't. I was hoping I could blame Microsoft's shenanigans, oh well!
I then did a system restore from a point a few days prior, and 4.0 was up and running like before.
Twice thereafter, I tried to update again manually, using Help/About Firefox/Check for Updates. The same thing happened.
I'm content for now to stick with 4.0. FYI & FWIW, I tried to provide this feedback to Mozilla at another page, and was told I must have "the latest version" in order to submit feedback. I'm glad I found this way of letting you know of this repeated problem.

IOS 7, iPad 4: keyboard problems with Shift key

Since I have upgraded my iPad 4 to iOS 7 a few days ago the keyboard drives me mad: I did not experience the overall slowness of the keyboard as reported by so many others. Anyway, I reset my settings just to be safe. But the reset had absolutely no influence on my real problem which is as follows:
Whenever and wherever (each app) I type, it is just a matter of luck whether or not the keyboard will recognise me typing the Shift key in order to get capital letters - and there are many caps in German words because each noun must be in caps! In 70% of all cases iOS will just write my capital letters as lower-case ones because it just does not recognise me hitting the Shift key, especially when typing quickly. Under iOS 6 this problem did not exist. I am losing so much time fixing missing capitalisation in all my texts (I use iPad for business) and/or typing extra slow and hitting the virtual Shift key on the screen extra hard that there is absolutely no flow in typing. Everything is just slow, whacky and it drives me nuts! How can it be that the latest iPad 4 with so much CPU power cannot handle a simple thing as typing caps? I am also experiencing problem when using the wipe-up gesture to get umlauts on vowels. It is not as bad as with Shift, but also noticeable.
Is there any solution to this problem? It is a major impediment and I am even considering an iOS downgrade because it is basically killing my ability to work efficiently with my iPad. Otherwise I am kinda okay with iOS 7, but this is a real show stopper. I wonder why I found nobody else on the whole web mentioning this problem.

Thank you Habitoti for describing the necessary change to the way that we need to type on ios devices to avoid the capital letter problem.
Holding the shift key fractionally longer solves the problem. But why oh why would Apple require users to fundamentally change the way they touch type by introducing a different keyboarding protocol like this? It is most unlike Apple to have us now have to consciously think about how to touch type all over again.
Intuitive operating systems are what make Apple so great. This keyboard problem is definitely not intuitive and it is driving me crazy.
Apple, you need to change the time weighting on the shift key in iOs 7.04.
Please, pretty please!

Updated to Itunes 11.4 windows /IOS 8 IPAD Mini no artwork with movies syn over.

I just recently updated my Ipad mini to IOS 8 (not sure this was the cause), but since I completed the update when I try to sync my movies back to the Ipad Mini the artwork doesn't transfer. The artwork is visible in Itunes application. I have backup the Ipad mini then restored and try to add, but still no artwork.the only art work the shows up the Disney movie The Incredible from the cloud. Any ideas or course of action would be create.

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

How to restore iPad to factory settings with iTunes 11

I have updated iTunes and I need too reset my iPad. I cannot find the reset

If you are more comfortable with the iTunes 10 UI, go to View > Show Sidebar. Then you can restore the same way you did previously, by selecting your iPad from the sidebar.

My iPad is always crashing with Kern protection failure, does somebody know why?

My apps are crashing all the time, with the error Kern Protection Failure. I want to know why and what can I do to stop crashing.
Please help me

Standard troubleshooting...
Try a reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.
If still a problem restore from your backup.
If still a problem restore as new, i.e. without your backup. See how it runs with nothing synced to it.
If still a problem, it's likely a hardware issue.

HT1620 Where do you find security key for iOS on iPad. 4digit key for update..

Need to find security key. 4didgit To update iPad to7.1.1. I have no idea were it is , first time ever asked for a pass to update

The iOS upgrade is seeking whatever code you use to unlock your iPhone or iPad device; your device passcode or PIN or password you're using to secure your device.
This to avoid somebody random poking buttons and unexpectedly upgrading your temporarily-unlocked device.
If you've forgotten the PIN or password that you had originally configured to unlock your phone, there is a reset sequence.

Why am I having to restore my phone for the new update? I have never had to do this.

New Update Problem

I did the normal by pressing the Install button and it went black and said plug into iTunes. I did that and the only option I had was to restore my phone. I tried reseting it and shutting it down and it just went black and then back to the screen that says plug into iTunes.

Why must I upgrade RIGHT NOW or quit CC when an update rolls out?

After the umteenth iteration of this, I'm growing very tired of being FORCED to update my creative cloud manager every single time an update rolls out. I come from a an IT strategic background that strongely believes in not changing smoothly running setups until the most opportune time (between projects), and this is necessitating mid-project version changing.
What is changing so frequently with that app manager service? Why is it so critical that I be up to date that you force the exiting of the service rather than let it run one version back? Please consider changing this policy as it is disruptive to professional workflow, though, admittedly, the app manager itself isn't likely to cause a project jeaopardizing problem as much as, say, after effects or premiere are. THe more significant issue may simply be that it's annoying me and the staff here when it seems pretty much every time we ever click that CC icon, we have to sit through an update.

I agree. Sick of this kind of blackmail from Adobe.
