I need to update my iPad and dere is no wifi in range
There are two ways to update - via wifi or connect the iPad to a computer and use iTunes.
If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 7.0.4. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.

iOS: How to update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4623
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.
How to Upgrade to iOS 7
The iOS 7.0 update requires around 2.5 GB of storage space, so if your iPad is almost full, you may need to clear up some space. You can check your available space in Settings -> General -> Usage.
There are two ways to upgrade to iOS 7: You can use your Wi-Fi connection, or you can connect your iPad to your PC and update through iTunes. We'll go over each method.
To upgrade using Wi-Fi:
Note: If your iPad's battery is under 50%, you will want to plug it into your charger while performing the update.
1. Go into the iPad's Settings.
2. Locate and tap "General" from the menu on the left.
3. The second option from the top is "Software Update". Tap this to move into the update settings.
4. Tap "Download and Install". This will start the upgrade, which will take several minutes and will reboot your iPad during the process. If the Download and Install button is grayed out, trying clearing up some space. The space required by the update is mostly temporary, so you should gain most of it back after iOS 7 is installed.
5. Once the update is installed, you may have to run through the initial steps of setting up your iPad again. This is to account for new features and settings.
To upgrade using iTunes:
First, connect your iPad to your PC or Mac using the cable provided when you purchased your device. This will allow iTunes to communicate with your iPad.
You will also need the latest version of iTunes. Don't worry, you will be prompted to download the latest version when you launch iTunes. Once it installs, you may be asked to setup iCloud by logging into your iTunes account. If you have a Mac, you may be prompted on whether or not you want to enable the Find my Mac feature.
Now you are ready to begin the process:
1. If you upgraded iTunes earlier, go ahead and launch it. (For many, it will launch automatically when you plug in your iPad.)
2. Once iTunes is launched, it should automatically detect that a new version of the operating system exists and prompt you to upgrade to it. Choose Cancel. Before updating, you will want to manually sync your iPad to make sure everything is up to date.
3. After canceling the dialog box, iTunes should automatically sync with your iPad.
4. If iTunes doesn't automatically sync, you can manually do it by selecting your iPad within iTunes, clicking on the File menu and choosing Sync iPad from the list.
5. After your iPad has been synced to iTunes, select your iPad within iTunes. You can find it on the left side menu under Devices.
6. From the iPad screen, click on the Update button.
7. After verifying that you want to update your iPad, the process will begin. It takes a few minutes to update the operating system during which time your iPad may reboot a few times.
8. After updating, you may be asked a few questions when your device finally boots back up. This is to account for new settings and features.
Cheers, Tom

They will be wherever you put them.

I have bought a iphone 5 second hand and i restore it and now i need the icloud original user and i don't know it!what can i do?i can not activate my iphone
If you're able to contact the previous owner, send them this link and tell them to follow the instructions.
If not, you can't activate the device but may be able to get it refunded.
Apple won't remove the lock for anyone other than the original owner(assuming they're alive.)

Connect your iPad to your computer and launch iTunes. You'll most likely be prompted to update. If not click the "check for update" button on the summary tab for the device in iTunes. For more information and full details, see the section titled "Update your device using iTunes" in this support article:

hello, my friend's i pad locked and need the apple id and password to unlock the setup and open the i pad but he don't remember any one of them nor his email and security questions the serial number of tha i pad is DYT*******PH and the part number is MC979ZP/A what can we do about that please solution?
<Edited by Host>Your friend will have to remember or find his account id and password, without them he won't be able to re-activate the iPad.
Does he have any of the account's downloads in his computer's iTunes library : Recovering a forgotten iTunes Store account name.
Or has he tried finding it via http://appleid.apple.com : Apple ID: How to find your Apple ID.
If he can find the account id he can then get its password reset via http://iforgot.apple.com
(As these are user-to-user forums, you're not talking to iTunes Support nor Apple, I've asked the hosts to remove the serial number from your post.) -
I updated my iPad and shortly afterwards my display changed to what looks like negative image colorization. Has something gone out on the display or have I unintentionally triggered a weird display setting?

I need to update my iTunes and iPod touch,iPad and iPhone but they were set up with a hp laptop that i sold i tried to update my iTunes and apple devices but it tell's me if i update i will lose all media on my devices and to update with the original computr
Go to www.ecamm.com and d/l PhoneView.
To prevent a sync when plugging in the iPod/iPhone - hold down the 'option' and the 'command' keys when plugging in the iPod/iPhone - key the keys down until the iPod/iPhone is listed under the Devices list in iTunes - this will prevent a sync from taking place.
With PhoneView you can take the content from the device to the iTunes library.

I forgot my restriction password and I can't delete any app. I can't download anything either, I've filled up all the space in my iPad, and I need to update my iPad in order to restore it. But my iPad needs space in order to update to a newer vers. of ios.. I've also tried to restore to the previous backup, but it yet doesn't work. Please help :c!
I told you, I can't restore iOS. In order to restore my iPad, I need to update it to iOS 7.0.4, but my iPad needs available space to update, but I don't have any. I can't delete anything at all, so yeah.. are there any possible ways to restore my ipad without updating? If not, please state other ways to solve this problem.

You can't, that is as high as the iPad 1 can go since it only has 256MB of RAM.

On several of my apps my iPad 2 w/ IOS 4.3.3 said I needed to update the apps and the updates were for IOS4.3.3 but when the update was complete the apps would no longer work. They would just flash when I tapped the screen to bring them up but will stay displayed. What is the problem?
I Also have this problem!!
In my situation, the screen simply started exhibiting the same symptoms a few weeks ago (early February) for no apparent reason. At first I thought the screen was dead, but discovered the heat solution by accident. Now I turn it on and keep it from going to sleep until I go to bed. Thank goodness the battery is still awesome on this thing.
I bought it new and still has the original screen, I keep it at home (never below 62 degrees). Coincidentally, this happened a day or two after the expiration of the warranty!! Any help figuring this one out would be eternally appreciated.

Why wont itunes download onto my computer? I need it to update my ipad and use cloud etc
I keep trying to download itunes onto my computer as I need it to update my ipad and use cloud etc. I phoned apple support and they could not work out why it will not download on my computer. I am going into the apple shop to get help but just wondered if anyone else has this problem, the only thing I can think of is that my internet connection/broadband is very slow. Anybody any ideas?
What web browser are you using? Maybe the browser stopped the download of iTunes.
Try downloading iTunes again with another browser -> http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
