I am trying to install iOS 6

I am trying to install iOS 6 and it says my Apple ID is already being used even though it is my account? I reset the forgotten password like it said, but it still is not recognizing it. Not sure what to do now?

If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.1.3. 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).
Tip 2 - If you're updating via wifi, place your iPad close to your router to preclude getting a corrupted download.

  • Trying to install iOS 7.1.2 error message coming up

    TRying to install iOS 7.1.2 to iPad error message coming so won't install

    Just to make sure are you connected to WiFi?
    Try a reset:
    - Hold the home button and sleep/wake button down at the same time. When the Apple logo appears release both buttons.
    If issue remains try another WiFi network. Alternatively you can try the steps below to update with iTunes on a computer:
    First back up: iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    Then Update iOS with iTunes: Update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

  • How do i get my iphone 5 out of recovery mode after trying to install ios 7

    Alright, so i tried to install ios 7 and i got an error saying that the ios 7 update got a problem and so then my phone went into recovery mode. i installed tiny umbrella to get it out of recovery and it worked, so then i tried to install ios 7 again and it got another error this time my phone had already been switched to the ios 7 format but was not completely done, so my phone went into recovery mode again. so i tried tiny umbrella again and it just kept going back to recovery mode. i tried to restore my phone after trying to look for another way to get my phone out of recovery mode and i got nothing so i decided to restore my phone and i then get another freaking error saying that itunes could not restore due to a problem, then i just decided to try tiny umbrella one last time and it didnt work. so i tried to restore again but now my phone is not being detected on itunes so i cant do anything, and my phone is stuck in recovery mode... all i was trying to do is get the new update and now my phone is dead, it wont do anything please help!!

    Use tinyumbrella. Connect your iphone, click on the random string of numbers that appears in the recover devices window, and click "exit recovery". That solved my problem, and it may solve yours. Give it a shot.

  • I tried to install iOS 7 and now my phone won't turn on?

    Well, around 3 hours ago I tried to install iOS 7. It said I didn't have enough space so I deleted mostly all of my apps, all my music, all my photos and all my videos. It then said I had enough space so I went to install it. It kept saying error over and over again so I tried restarting my phone (which is an iPhone 4) and then it went all wrong. It just stayed on the Apple logo and never went off it. I asked around and I was told to do a hard reboot (I hold down the off and home button for 10 seconds, then lift my finger off the off button until the logo comes on again and links with my iTunes). I did this and it linked with my iTunes but it won't download iOS 7 from it (it says it has "40 hours remaining" or something ridiculous but doesn't budge - it wants to download iOS7 from iTunes when I am trying to recover my iPhone) because after waiting for a while, an error pops up. It's just a vicious cycle with nothing at all changing and it's really annoying me now. Can anyone help? It's getting late and I *REALLY* need this phone for tomorrow.
    Please help me.

    The phone is in recovery mode. See this support document for instructions on what to do. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808

  • I'm trying to install iOS 5.0 but getting message that my computer does not have sufficient space to backup my iPad; continuing will result in loss of all media on iPad. I was going to install iCloud but it seems that you have to have iOS 5.0, help?

    i'm trying to install iOS 5.0 but getting message that my computer does not have enough space to backup my iPad and continuing will result in loss of all media on iPad.  an option seemed to be backing up on iCloud, but i think you have to have iOS 5.0 to install iCloud.
    how do i install iOS 5.0 without losing anything on my iPad?

    If you really do not have enough space on your HDD for a backup of your iPad, you do not have enough space at all. Free up at least 15% of your HDD, in any case more than 0.8GB for the iPad update.
    Make backups on an external disk.
    After freeing up enough space, try again.

    Try on a different computer. If you get this error again, go to an Apple store or call AppleCare. I've only seen this error once, & I was unable to solve it. Took the phone to the genius bar & they replaced the phone.

    This feature is only available on iOS 5 or later.  You must still be running iOS 4.  Connect your iPad to the computer you usually sync with and run iTunes software update.

  • I cant get past backing up when trying to install ios 5 error (-43), please help!!

    I downloaded the update for ios 5. Updated Itunes. Ready to give up after several tries of installing ios 5. Getting same message each time (error (-43)) while backing up the phone. I need help. Do I need to reinstall the update? If so, how do you delete the IOS 5 update? What are my options? All my Apps are updated.
    Thanks in advance!!!

    Hey!!
    After many failed attempts this is what worked for me:
    Step 1. Right click on your phone in the left hand side bar and select Back Up
    Step 2. Restore your phone and use the option where you restore and update
    Step 3. When its done it will ask you to use the back up you previously completed
    Hopefully this works for you!!!

    I tried to install IOS 5.0. It crashed and now my Ipad only shows an Apple icon being busy. iTunes could not connect to it due to unknown device(OxE8000065) and it has been like this for a long time now ...
    Do I leave it as is, or kill it off, and if the latter, how do I do it?
