Temporarily disable your firewall and security software and see if that helps.

    You have to connect your iPad to your computer now and restore the iOS software with iTunes. The update went bad. Read about how to do it here.

  • HT4623 I'm trying to update my iPad to ios5, I have gone thru Settings, General, but there is no update button available...what am I doing wrong?

    I'm trying to update my iPad to ios5, as I want Sky Go on it to watch the cricket, so I've gone thru Settings, General, but there is no update available...what am I doing wrong? Or is this iPad not able to get updates? Thanks

    You only have the option if you are already running iOS 5. If you are trying to update the iOS, you have to use iTunes on a computer to update the iPad.
    There are some important things that you should know before you update.

    The updating instructions are in this article. Make sure you read the part about using iTunes.

  • HT201210 I tried to update to IPad 5.1, but when it finished and tried to restore the backup, it shows me that Itunes could not back up because a session could not be started with iPad. need your help please

    This has happened to me a couple of times and what I do is quit iTunes and restart my Mac and then try again and then it will work.
    If iTunes has already created the backup, you should still be able to restore from the backup when you are connected to iTunes. Right click on the iPad name on the left side of iTunes and select restore from backup. After the process completes, sync with iTunes to transfer all of your apps, music, photos and other media back onto the iPad.

  • Trying to update our Ipad to iOS5.

    Trying to update our Ipad to iOS5 via our desktop Mac. We have mac osx 10.4.11, Itunes ver 9.2.1...What do we need to do? 

    These are the requirements:

    Mac OS X v10.5.8 or later

    I would upgrade to Snow Leopard 10.6.8 it is the best for the older machines. Run software update after installing Snow Leopard and let it update everything.

  • HT4623 I am trying to update my iPad to iOS6 but there is no update software option on the general screen

    I am trying to update my iPad to iOS 6 but there is no update software option under general settings..please help me. Also I can not get it to connect to wireless service at home but it will other places.

    Connect your iPad to iTune (computer) and Check for Updates. Backup before you proceed with update.

  • I have been trying to update my iPad to IOS5 ALL DAY LONG!

    It stays on "backing up" for hours. I've cancelled and started over 4 times since 10am. Help! It took overnight to update my iphone 4 to the ios5, but it's not moving past "backing up" for the iPad at all.  It is now 11:51pm, 12 hours I've been trying to update my iPad. After I cancelled, I rebooted the computer each time then started over. It's getting ridiculous. I hope someone can help me with this! Please and Thank you.

    Um, this makes no sense.  The binary is already on the device, it came directly from Apple so I'm not sure where the hold up is.  I guess it depends on what is exactly "Verifying update ..." is.  I always believed it was about checking to ensure the binary was proper; not sure why it has to call back to Apple servers in that case.
    It's super annoying.  Apple really needs to fix this problem.  Especially when one has to leave and needs to take their devices with them...
    Last time this happened, all I had to do was connect to iTunes and the issue cleared out immediately and updated.

  • When syncing after recent update, sync is stuck at "Step 4 of 4" "Waiting for changes to be applied" and will not complete, even after hours.  How can this be fixed?

    I completed the most recent software update for both iTunes and iPhone recently.  I am now trying to sync my iPhone to add newly purchased audiobooks and the sync remains stuck at "Step 4 of 4" with the message "Waiting for changes to be applied"  I have tried everything to correct this.  When sync is cancelled a failure to sync message is generated.  Any ideas????

    Alright, so I reset my computer and suddenly it then recovered. Other times it wouldn't recover after resetting the computer, so I have no idea how it happened. I just restarted the computer lots of time and finally it worked.
    Okay, back to square one. Now to transfer music, I tried my previous acknowledgable solutions but they didn't work. The iPod touch does not feature a hard-disk mode, and windows media player doesn't support iPods.
    I've tried multiple programs to transfer music but none of them work properly and keep giving me error codes. So my iPod still gets stuck at Step 4: Waiting for changes to be applied or whatever it said.
    Thanks in advance ._. (Please help)
    p.s - Apple is useless. If I don't get steady answers tomorrow I'm going to end up calling them and get this problem fixed first hand. Second hand? I don't know, over the **** phone.

    How do I fix my Ipad, tried to update it, now its stuck on a screen with a cable pointing towards itunes and asking me to restore, but i cant, it tells me that restore was interrupted because of a corrupted file. 

    If you want to manually download the update go here.

    If you want to try recovery mode which is what Apple recommends if you are unable to update or restore your iPd, go here.

  • HT1296 Trying to update my iPad to iOS7 but theirs no software update. What do I do?

    Need to download a newer version of iOS to this iPad

    Update it from iTunes on a computer as described at the bottom of this article; devices running an iOS version prior to 5.0 can't be updated straight from the device. It will be updated to the newest iOS release supported by the device’s hardware, which is iOS 7.0.4 for an iPad 2.

  • HT4623 I updated my phone to iOS6 and now it will not ring for incoming calls.  It blocks my landline number.  I've tried resetting, updating, etc.  I've gone to the Verizon store.  They were puzzled too. Any ideas of what I should try next?

    I accepted the push to update my iphone to iOS6....now it will not ring.  It blocks calls from my landline. Help!   I've tried resetting, etc.

    It has been caused in an OTA glitch.  You need to hook it up to your computer, restore and update off of iTunes.  Good Luck.
