HT5012 I want to update my iPad to receive internet service

I would like to update my iPad to receive internet service now I can only go through wi fi

If your iPad is WiFi-only model, there is no way to upgrade it for cellular service. you would need to buy a new iPad with cellular functionality.

    You may have to do this several times.
    Saw this solution on another post about an iPad in a school environment. Might work on your iPad so you won't lose everything.

    ‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
    Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
    I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
    Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
    1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
    2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
    3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
    4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
    5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
    6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
    7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
    8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just canceling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
    If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

    Hey , why always when i want to update my Ipad to ios 6.1.3 at the end tills me that the update was failed , its always ,please if you can help me, and thank you.

    Try disabling your firewall and antivirus software and see if that helps - if you are trying to update using iTunes on your computer.

  • HT4623 I want to update my iPad

    I want to update my iPad to the current operating system from 4.3.3. When I go to settings and then general I don't see an update option. Please advise. Thanks

    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.

  • When i want to update my ipad and i want to make backup does backup including apps

    when i want to update my ipad and i want to make backup does backup including app

    If you backup with iCloud only - yes your apps are included in the backup. If you backup and sync with iTunes - only your app data and documents, device settings and things like that are included in the backup.
    So if you use iTunes only, you have to restore from the backup and then sync with iTunes. If you are going to update to iOS 5 now you should backup your iPad ... Or even iOS 6 when available on the 19th -  backup your iPad.

  • Hey!  I recently had to reboot my computer and reinstall itunes.  I now want to update my iPad but it is not allowing me to save my apps in my itunes library because it is already connected with my old library from before I rebooted.  What do I do?

    Hey!  I recently had to reboot my computer and reinstall itunes.  I now want to update my iPad but it is not allowing me to save my apps in my itunes library because it is already connected with my old library from before I rebooted.  What do i do?!

    The solution is fairly easy IF the items that you are concerned about are all items that have been obtained from the iTunes Store AND they were all purchased using the same Apple ID.  First, with the iPad disconnected from the computer, fire up iTunes.  Look to the right side top and confirm that that Apple ID is displayed.  If it is not, go to "Account" and log into that ID.  Then, connect the iPad.  Say "yes" to the "Transfer Purchases" choice.  Everything on the iPad will be transferred to the computer's iTunes library.
    If anything goes wrong, you can download all purchased items again with no charge (except movies) provided that you use the same Apple ID.
    If you have been using multiple Apple IDs, it's a bit more complicated.  Post back and we'll go from there.

    As already stated, you cannot.  At iOS 5.1.1 an iPad 1 is already as updated as it is ever going to get.

    I wanted to update my iPad 2 from 4.3 to the latest update but I got stuck in the restoring step. I couldn't restore the iPad.
    The error message"The iPad cannot be restored at this time because the iPad software update server couldn't be contacted or is temprorily unavailable"

    Hello someone9,
    There are a few possible causes for this issue, sometimes it is related to Security Software, other times it is related to the internet connection. Let's follow the steps below:
    iOS: Resolving update and restore alert messages
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1275
    Unable to contact the iOS software update server gs.apple.com
    Error 1004, 1013, 1638, 3014, 3194: These errors may be the result of the connection to gs.apple.com being redirected or blocked. Follow these steps to resolve these errors:
    - Install the latest version of iTunes.
    - Check security software. Ensure that communication to gs.apple.com is allowed. Follow this article for assistance with security software. iTunes for Windows: Troubleshooting security software issues.
    - Check the hosts file. The restore will fail if there is an active entry to redirect gs.apple.com. Follow iTunes: Advanced iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting to edit the hosts file or revert to a default hosts file. See section "Blocked by configuration: (Mac OS X/Windows) > Rebuild network information".
    - Try to restore from another known-good computer and network.
    - If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.

  • I want to update my IPad's operating system but when I tried to so,  I got a message at Itunes advising all my apps would be removed?  Is there a step by step guide for doing this update and retaining my apps?  I am completely lost....

    I want to update my 1st generation IPad which has a current OS of 4.2.1 to the latest 5.0 OS.  I tried to do this through my ITunes account but got a warning that continuing would delete my apps, etc.  I don't want that to happen!  I have ZERO tech ability/know-how and need an idiot-proof, step by step guide to performing the update.  Any help most appreciated.  I haven't got a clue how to back up anything on the IPad, either.
    Many thanks!!

    First copy any purchases off the iPad to your computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases. You should also backup the device (right-click the iPad 'device' and select 'back up'), and copy off any important documents, files, notes etc (e.g. by email, the file sharing section at the bottom of the Apps tab on your computer's iTunes, via wifi, whatever the apps that you use support) - the update process should backup and restore the content but it's best to be safe.
