I am stationed in England, the connection I have is slooow and the update server times out.  I there anyway to get the iOS 5 release downloaded quicker to my iPad.  My laptop has the current Safari update and iTunes is up to date.

I need help updating my iaPad2 to the current OS.  My connection is slow, but I have the current Safari OS and the current iTunes build on my laptop.  Any advice?

It's a 700 meg download (which you need to download to your computer), so it's going to take a while to download - getting a quicker router or internet connection would speed it up. Or do you know anybody else with a quicker connection who could download the update file for you, you could then copy it to your computer for the actual update ?
The direct downloads for the iPad 2 iOS 5 update files are :
wifi-only
3G GSM/sim
3G CDMA

    Hi katmango24,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    I'm sorry to hear that the computer died and the iPod was lost.
    For music that was purchased from the iTunes Store, you can use the steps in this article to download it again:

    Did you not call the Account Security Team? It's pretty new.

  • Software update server times out

    I'm running Windows 7 and iTunes 9.1, and am having a problem accessing iTunes servers. Here's what I'm finding:
    X When trying to update my iPod touch to the latest version, I get an error that the iPod software update server could not be contacted. If I hit "stop" while it's trying to connect, it will move into restore mode and then quit with an error of 1479.
    X If I try to restore outright, I get the "software update server could not be contacted" message.
    X When syncing, I get an error that my applications have not been authorized. When I try to authorized them - you guessed it, it times out.
    X Trying to sync to Nike+ also times out.
    X I can connect to the iTunes music store and purchase songs. However, it timed out once when trying to download the free single of the week.
    X Running diagnostics shows NO problems, with my network connections or anything else. Everything can connect fine.
    Here's what I've tried to fix it:
    X Turning off Windows Firewall
    X Turning off my antivirus software
    X Running in admin mode
    X LAN Settings are set to "automatically detect." I tried deselecting and reselecting the checkbox.
    X Deauthorizing and reauthorizing my computer
    X Uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes
    X Reformatting my harddrive and reinstalling my OS. (Overkill, I know, but it was time to do it anyway.)
    I am at my wit's end with this. I've tried everything in the help files with no luck. I haven't made any major changes to my computer and I had the problem with the previous version of iTunes as well. In fact, it timed out with the "Check for updates" function - I downloaded the most recent version from the Apple website and installed it that way.
    Can anyone help? Please? I will send ecookies...

    I am having the same problem. Network settings are correct, cleared the old ipod update software out of the iPod Software Updates folder and truned my firewall off. Still no luck and nothing in the knowledgebase. Has nothing to do with the language as discussed in another post in this thread.

    Use your backup copy of your old computer to put everything on your new computer, then sync the iphone to that comptuer.

  • HT1414 I updated to new ios and i accidently hit the restore button and now i have old pictures and text messages on my phone is there anyway to get my info back on my phone that i had before the update?

    I was updating to the current iso6 and forgot to click new phone in I-tunes when updating instead i clicked restore and now I have old info on my phone and all my current info is gone is there any way to get that info back.

    Setting up as "new" will set the device as if it were just taken out of the box.  This certainly would not restore any content that was on the device.
    Sounds like what you want is to simply restore to a more recent backup.  You did backup the device prior to updating correct?  If you did not, it's unlikely that you can get the content back.

  • HT204053 How do I update my Apple ID on my iPad as it has the old apple ID?

    How do I update my Apple ID on my iPad as it has the old apple ID?

    If you want to change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iPad, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use.  When you do this you may find that the password for your old ID isn't accepted.  If this should happen, and if your old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, you need to temporarily recreate your old ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPad, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll.  When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

    Hi There!
    I have created one package (1) to import data from Flatfile(csv), (2)Clean It  then (3)send clean rows to SQL Database.
    This package was working fine before. Since I have decided to deploy this package to automate this process, I have no clue what went wrong but this doesn't run anymore. Flatfile and Database are on same windows box. We are running SQL 2008.I
    have attached some screenshot to make this conversation more concise.
    Your time and efforts will be appreciated!
    Thanks,

    I have years worth of music on my PC that is about to die.  If I get an iPad is there anyway to get the music from my PC onto the iPad? I have the iCloud but my understanding is only music actually purchased from iTunes lives int he cloud. I have music that was legally purchased and loaded to my iTunes account from cd's that I no longer own.  I need a new laptop and am deciding between the iPad and the Mac book.  I use the computer for music, photos, and web - nothing else and nothing fancy.  I don't know that there is a way to save my huge music library without saving it to an external hard drive and then loading it to a new one (does the iPad have a port to plug an external hard drive into?)

    First, you would need to make a backup of the entire iTunes folder on the PC. You could get music to the iPad if the PC was still functioning, or you would have to move the music to another computer. An iPad is not a laptop, and does not have a port to plug an external drive into. You can sync music to the iPad from the computer, but you are correct, unless you get iTunes Match, you would need a computer to copy the music to and then sync to an iPad.
