I can't upgrade my iPad 2 software from iOS 5.0.1 to iOS 5.1

Hi I wonder if anyone of you could help. I have an iPad 2 running iOS 5.0.1 and can't upgrade to iOS 5.1. The problem I am having is when I check for an update on my iPad it takes ages and then I get a message saying that it was unable to check for an update. Then when I tried to update it via my Mac its cant get passed the "contacting the iPad software update server..." had this message for half an hour now. I am assuming that apples servers are really full with everybody trying to update their iOS device. Is this the logical expenation and is anyone else having simular issues?
Thank You,
Richard Bray

After a few tries on Thursday, March 8, I was able to update my iPhone 4 to iOS 5.1 using iTunes on my PC. However, when I next tried to update my iPad, I had the same error response about not being able to contact the update server.
After disconnecting all my USB devices and rebooting the PC several times, I gave up. Tried again on Saturday, March 10, and was finally able connect after several more unsuccessful attempts. Don't know if it was really necessary, but after I turned off both my Norton Smart Firewall and Anti-Virus Autoprotect, I finally got a connection.
I remember having similar hassles downloading iCloud and getting it working with the Apple mail servers.
I wish Apple could communicate better when the servers are jammed. The web page I was sent to when I clicked "More Information" in the window notifying me that the server connection failed, doesn't mention the possibility that the servers are jammed and we should just wait a few days and try again.

Can I upgrade my iPad 2 16gb to IOS 8

I want to upgrade my iPad 2 to IOS8 I can't afford to upgrade to a new iPad at the moment. But I have upgraded my iPhone to the iPhone 6.
I've tried manually deleting apps etc to free up enough space but I can't seem to free up enough space. If I was to perform a factory reset on my iPad would this free up enough space so that I could upgrade the IOS
Be grateful for any advice. help, thoughts on this one
Cheers

If you erase all your data from the device, it should; alternatively, you can update it from iTunes on a computer.

Yes. Reinstall iTunes. If that is the point at which you stopped trying the support suggestions then it makes sense to me, that you move on to the next suggestion and if reinstalling iTunes is the next suggestion, so be it.
However .... I too have issues that arise out of the blue with my iPad being recognized in iTunes and what I always do and it eventually works is to quit iTunes, restart my MacBook, and reboot my iPad.
Rebooting the iPad is the last thing that I do and only if I have no success with quitting iTunes and restarting the Mac. It may take a few tries to work, but if you are that dead set against reinstalling iTunes, then give it a try.

Try and force iPad into Recovery Mode:
1. Turn off iPad
2. Connect USB cable to computer; leave the other end alone
3. Press and hold the Home button down and connect the docking end of cable to iPad
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect To iTune" screen
5. Release the Home button
6. Open iTune
7. You should see "iTunes has detected an iPad in recovery mode"
8. Use iTune to restore iPad
Note: You need to be patient and repeat the above many times to recover your iPad

After upgrading the itunes, I can not find my ipad when it connects to the PC

Before that, I can see an botton said my ipad. And then I can click it to operate my ipad

Try this
Go into the control panel. Add/remove programs. Uninstall iTunes, Apple mobile device service, apple application support. Then go out and redownload and reinstall iTunes and try again.
There seems to be a glitch with a recent update and one way to overcome it is to just start over. If that doesn't work there are more in depth things you can do.

(1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
(2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
(3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
(4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
(5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

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.

I upgraded my iPad last week to iOS 5.1.1 but since then most of my apps will not open....help!!

I upgraded my iPad last week to iOS 5.1.1 but since then most of my apps will not open....help!!

If it's happening on all the apps that you've downloaded from the App Store, but not the Apple built-in ones, then try downloading any free app from the store (as that appears to reset something) and then re-try them - the free app can then be deleted.
If it's happening on all apps including Apple's then try closing them all via the taskbar and then see if they work when you re-open them : from the home screen (i.e. not with any app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of each app to close them, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
If that doesn't work then you could try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

I upgraded my iPad (3rd gen) to iOS 7. When I go to iTunes and look at the summary and to the "Apps" list tab, iTunes stops working and shuts down. What can I do? I am using a Windows 7 machine.

Hi thanks for the encouragement. It's not that the severs are "swamped", iOS 7 has been successfully installed.
I can't access the apps list in iTunes because it *****
down. Its pretty frustrating because many of my apps require me to manually transfer files into iTunes first to view
them. Not sure if the servers being swamped is an issue for me, unless they release a bug fix through another version of iTunes.
Has anyone else had this problem? My iPad is pretty useless unless I can access my app list in iTunes....

The app store in my iphone can not upgrade

As you can see, when I want to upgrade the app, it shows grey,which make I can not upgrade it.
But when I click Genius, it shows white, and recommends me apps without mistakes.
WHY?What can I do to work it out?

So you are saying that after you updated several apps - now you cannot connect to the iTunes or App Stores?
"My new iPad cannot connect to the app store and iTunes after updates from several apps"
Go to Settings>General>Date and Time>Set Automatically>Off. Set the date one year ahead. Try to update the apps again. If you get an error message, go back to the settings. Correct the date and time (set automatically) then go back and try to update the apps again.
Or try this ...
Settings>Privacy>Location Services>System Services (swipe to the bottom of the page to find this)>Location Based iAds>Off.
Or this ...
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

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.
Go into the iPad's Settings.
Locate and tap "General" from the menu on the left.
The second option from the top is "Software Update". Tap this to move into the update settings.
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.
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:
If you upgraded iTunes earlier, go ahead and launch it. (For many, it will launch automatically when you plug in your iPad.)
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.
After canceling the dialog box, iTunes should automatically sync with your iPad.
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.
After your iPad has been synced to iTunes, select your iPad within iTunes. You can find it on the left side menu under Devices.
From the iPad screen, click on the Update button.
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.
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.

Since I can't upgrade my iPad 1 to iOS 6, is it now vulnerable to security threats?

Since I can't upgrade my iPad 1 to iOS 6, is it now vulnerable to security threats?

According to my brief search on the support site, there is some discussion on this very topic. No operating system is completely secure!! Read http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5503 for iOS 6 security content. Since Apple does not want to provide support for the iPad 1, I have now stopped doing anything online that requires a password or other sensitive data. No more new apps or upgrades to my present apps. It has gone from a fantastic piece of technology to a toy in two years.
