HT5192 Can I download iOS 5 via WiFi?

Can I download iOS 5 via WiFi?

If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.0.1. For the iPad Mini the iOS is 6.0.2. 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).

  • HT4623 I've purchased more storage for my mini iPad however I still can not download iOS 7?

    I've purchased more storage for my mini iPad however I still can not download iOS 7?

    If you mean you purchased more iCloud storage, that doesn't expand the amount of storage on your iPhone. iCloud storage only gives you more room for backups, documents, photo sharing, etc. You will still need to remove things from your iPad to give you enough room for the update. You'll need less room if you update via iTunes on your computer than if you update directly on the iPad.
    BTW, you posted in the iPod touch forum. For many issues the answers will be the same, but it's usually best to post in the correct forum for your product so that there is no misunderstanding.
    Regards.

    i can not download ios 7

    We will need more information. What happened when you tried to do so? Did you try to update through iTunes on your computer or by wifi?

  • Can not download ios 7.0,

    can not download ios 7.0

    Exact same thing happened on my phone.  I decided to sync it to Outlook via iTunes b/c i wasn't getting all pictures via iCloud onto other devices.  First thing that happened was, iTunes discovered iOS 7.0.3 was not on the phone.  It asked me if i wanted to install it via iTunes.  I said yes, and it installed beautifully.  Now iOS 7.0.3 is on my iPhone.  Suggest you do the same thing, and those who are offering advice, give advice to "sync with Outlook via iTunes".  or wherever your phone syncs to a computer. 

  • I have a 4th generation iPod touch which was working perfectly until I downloaded ios5 and now it won't connect to my wi-fi - all other devices working correctly. Where can I download ios 4.3.5 from?

    I have a 4th generation iPod touch which was working perfectly until I downloaded ios5 and now it won't connect to my wi-fi - all other devices working correctly. My pc didn't create a backup before updating software so I can't revert back to ios 4.3.5 from there, where can I download ios 4.3.5 from?

    I tried just about everything and finally brought my Ipod touch to the apple store.  The tech installed ios 4.3.5 but still no WIFI.  He recommended a $149 exchange - not really a bad deal with a new battery and 90 day warranty, but I thought I'd try again.
    The "solution" was bizarre.  On YouTube was a fix involving taking the motherboard out and heating the wifi components with a heat gun.
    I did not like that idea, but another involved turning it off, putting it in the freezer for five minutes and restarting.  It worked!  I must admit the fix does not work reliably, so I may still go for the exchange.  Still, I am now convinced that it is a hardware problem.    i remember back in the old days, TV repairmen sprayed a suspected bad resistor with Freon.  The chilled component would work long enough to identify what needed replacement.  Perhaps something similar is happening here.
    For anyone wanting to try this, I found it more convenient to place the back of my ipod on a  frozen cold pack until the wifi is restored.  It seems to happen when condensation forms on the face.  I used a towel to wipe off the moisture so as not to add to the problem.

    I can't download iOS 7 on my iPad 3. I says my software is up to date (6.1.3). Can anyone help me with this?

    May just be the update server acting glitchy due all the people slamming it right now. I'd give it 24 hrs, and if it's still doing it, check back in here and we'll see if we can't figure it out.

    You don't. The iPhone 3G can not run anything higher than 4.2.1. It was discontinued almost 3 years ago.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    To begin with, I would like to try to explain Apple's confusing nomenclature in regard to iCloud.
    Apple have called the whole cloud thing iCloud, there are a number of features under the iCloud umbrella, some of which require their own login. iTunes is one of these, another is what Apple have unfortunately also called iCloud too.
    You can use the same Apple ID (account) to login to both iCloud and iTunes, but you don't need to and often users will login to each service using a different ID.
    The part that you need to remember is that the services available when you log into iCloud are completely different and unrelated to those when you log in to iTunes. Your iCloud login enables mail, contacts, calendars, find my phone, Back to My Mac, Documents & Data sharing and photostream, it does not affect any of your iTunes services.
    To avoid confusion when discussing your problem, when I mention iCloud, I am referring to the services under the iCloud login, Whereas I will refer to the whole cloud thing as The Cloud.
    Whilst you want seperate accounts, I assume this is to keep your contacts etc seperate, you can still both use the same iTunes account, which will allow you to share your music etc.

  • Can I download iOS 6 onto my iPhone 4? I'm trying but I keep getting an error msg.

    Can I download iOS 6 onto my iPhone 4? I'm trying but I keep getting an error msg.

    OK, but if you do want to try iTunes, you just hook up your iPhone to your PC or Mac like you were going to sync it, and it will tell you that there is an update for your phone when you initiate the sync.
    Otherwise, best of luck! Hope it all gets sorted out quickly!!!

  • I can't download iOS 5 due to error of -3259

    I can't download iOS 5 due to error of -3259...Please help!

    Ibeen having the same problem since the apple event. Wirelessly, the iPhone would see the update but not be able to download it. When I plugged it into iTunes, it saw the update and tried to download it but hung at "connecting to the update server...". I finally stumbled onto a solution that worked for me... changing the DNS on your iPhone's wireless connection. took less than a minute for mines to update!
    Make sure that you are connected to your wi-fi network...
    Tap on Settings
    Tap on Wi-Fi
    Tap on the little blue ball/arrow on network that you are connected to
    On the DHCP tab, tap in the DNS field (write down what is in there and save it just in case)
    Delete what is in there and add in 8.8.8.8 (this is Google Public DNS*)
    Tap out of the field and out of Wi-Fi connections
    Try to update from the phone again
    I ended up making this change on my iPad, iPhone, Apple TV and iMac and it worked in all cases.

    Connect the phone to your computer then open iTunes. Select the phone under the Devices heading in iTunes' sidebar. Click on the Summary tab in the main window then click on the Update button.
