HT5503 I am unable to update my iPad 2 to the new iOS 6 software. I have tried troubleshooting (i.e., making sure I have a strong wifi connection, having the iPad plugged in/charged to 100%, etc). It seems as if no matter what it try, I can't update. Help

I have no idea how to solve this problem. Are there any suggestions?

I have an new iPad that I updated over WiFi, but I could not update my iPod Touch over Wifi for reasons unknown. The download kept stalling at the "preparing software" stage so I used iTunes on my Mac to update the iPod Touch.
Either keep trying, or resign yourself to the fact that you just may have to use a computer.

  • The sound in my IPad is not working after I downloaded the new iOS 7. I tried to reset the IPad to no avail. Could anyone be so kind to help me?

    I"m going to make the presumption that you've checked the volume and that you don't have it muted. One thing some have suggested is to go into the settings and reset all settings.
    It is kind of a drag because you wil have to retweak everything but it's helped for some.

  • When I click on the button to download the new IOS software, I get a message saying that all the items on my iTouch will be removed.  Will I have to reload everything after updating the software?

    When I click on the button to download the new IOS software, I get a message saying that all the items on my iTouch will be removed.  Will I have to reload everything after updating the software?  Because I had to have my hard drive wiped a while back, I have items on my iTouch that are not in my iTunes.  Is there a way to copy everything on the iTouch into iTunes, if necessary, before I load the new software?

    It is possible to transfer purchases from your iPod back into iTunes before updating the OS. If you had any CDs from your personal collection, these you have to put back into iTunes manually. Hope this helps you & good luck!

  • Ipad2 will freezes when downloading the new ios software update

    ipad2 will freezes when downloading the new ios software update.  When i hold the Base Button and Sleep button together it just does the same thing.  Tried to plug it in directly to my iMAC and it says it can't help me b/c I have a passcode lock.  Any solutions?

    We don't know, and no one will know until Apple has announced it. Furthermore, speculation is forbidden here.

  • I have just updated my iTunes to 11.1.3. I followed all correct steps, restarted my computer etc. But iTunes will now not open no matter what I try and do. Please help me!!!!!!!!

    I have just updated my iTunes to 11.1.3. I followed all correct steps, restarted my computer etc but now I cannot open iTunes not matter what I try and do.
    Very frustrating. Have read the trouble shooting info on Apple website but nothing has worked.
    Someone please help. I cannot access any of my music.

    Open Finder. Go to the "Go" menu in the menu bar. Press and hold Control and click on Library. Go to "Preferences". Find a file named, "com.apple.iTunes.plist" and delete that file. This won't delete your iTunes content. It will reset iTunes. Try it again.

  • Why can't I find/access my recent downloads and imessage with the new IOS software update?

    I just recently updated my phone to the new IOS 7 software. I had to do this using my computer. It updated ok but now when I try to find apps that I downloaded (from the computer again) I am unable to locate them. I did find one app that was downloaded but when I click install nothing seems to be happening. I have turned the phone off and on several times hoping it would reset but nothing. I am also unable to access imessage for some reason. Help!!!

    You can't update your iPad past iOS 5.1.1
    Many iPad 1 owners reported slow downs with iOS 5.
    Under the Settings app, General category under About, how much storage capacity does your iPad have left?
    You could try a hard restart or reset by holding down the sleep/on-off button and home button simultaneously.
    Once the screen goes black, wait about two seconds, then let both buttons go.
    See if this changes anything.
    Good Luck!

  • Firefox window always opens in smaller font. No matter what I try, I can't get it to default to 100% size.

    See above. Firefox window will not default to full size when I open applicaiton, new window or new tab

    Thanks - it worked. i kept having to click on "resize" to get to 100%. Now it seems to be at 100% default. I appreciate the help.

  • I downloaded the new iOS software on my iPod touch 4th gen. Now it's saying connect to computer with iTunes, I only have a iPad I don't have a laptop is there any way to bypass this

    I Downloaded the new iOS software on my iPod touch now when I turn it on it has a USB cord and says connect to computer and iTunes, well the only other

    No. You have to connect the iPod to a computer and restore via iTunes.
    For how to restore:
    iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: How to back up
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    Find a friend or go to an Apple store.

  • My ipad wont backup. No matter what I try, it simply wont backup. Keeps rebooting.

    I already deleted the mobilesync folder, deleted some of my apps to make free space (11gb of free space now), restarted the ipad, my macbook, and attempted many of the so called "solutions" and still got nothing. My device is not jailbroken, is running 4.2.1 and my itunes is 10.2.2. Cant seem to backup no matter what.
    Any (other) ideas how to fix this?
    Thank you

    Then I assume that you read the link that Carolyn posted and tried to log in on the Mac with a different user account and that didn't work. I've Googled this over and over for some time tonight and I'm sure you have as well and can come up with nothing else.
    Did you try Settings>Reset>Reset All Settings? Not sure that would help at all but that sticks out from my reading tonight somewhere. If you do that - reboot your iPad before you try to backup again.
    I wish I had another idea for you but I am down to thinking try Express Lane Support. I would hesitate to restore because you have no backup to restore from and you would have to go back to factory settings. Express Lane couldn't hurt but I'm not sure they would help either. If you've had the iPad for less than 90 days you can get free phone support from Apple. If you are close to an Apple Store an appointment at the Genius Bar might be a good idea as well.
    Quick Edit - the other poster solved his issue by reading that link in the thread that I gave you. I know you said you read the thread but did you go to the link, read the article and try those steps?
