I can't update my iPad 3

Hi, I've been trying to update my iPad 3 to IOS 6 but when it's updating it stops and shows a message saying there was an error.
How can I get to update it?

If you are trying to update OTA, switch to iTunes for the download. I had to do that for my iPod Touch. It just wouldn't download OTA. If you use iTunes, turn off your firewall and antivirus software until the download completes and the software is installed.

  • How come I can't update my iPad 1 to the new iOS 6 it says my iOS version 5.1.1 is the latest version?

    How come I can't update my iPad 1 to the new iOS 6 it says my iOS version 5.1.1 is the latest version?

    The iPad 1, coming up on three years since it was introduced, has been given two major and a number of minor upgrades to iOS, more than many tablet manufactures provide. The iPad 1's hardware just can't effectively support many of the features in iOS 6. So I don't think that it's particularly unfair for Apple to no longer provide updates. And yes, I do own and manage a number of iPad 1s.

    Why I can't update my iPad 2 to the iOS 7

    Are you trying to update OTA (over the air) on the iPad itself? To do so, you need to have iOS 5.x or above installed. The OTA update feature was added with this version. If you are running below iOS 5.x, you need to use your PC to update the iPad to the newest iOS 7.
    Check your iOS version: Settings>General>About
    The number displayed under "Version" is your current iOS version.

  • I can't update my iPad to iOS7.  It keeps saying that my updates are complete at iOS 5.1. HELP.  I want to download iBooks and other apps that need iOS7.

    I can't update my iPad to iOS7 .  It keeps saying My updates are complete at iOS5 .1 .  HELP!!  I want to download iBooks and other apps that need the newer iOS7 .

    The original iPad can't be updated past 5.1.1; you may be able to get compatible application versions by downloading them to a computer and then going to the Purchased screen on the device.

  • HT4972 Why I can't update my iPad to iOS 5?

    Why I can't update my iPad o iOS 5?

    You can only update a device to the highest iOS version that it supports, which for an iPad 2 is 7.0.4
    What happens when you follow the instructions on the page that you posted from ?
    To update, connect the iPad to your computer's iTunes and copy any purchases off the iPad to your computer via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases. You may also want to copy photos and any important documents off the iPad as well e.g. via the file sharing section at the bottom of the device's apps tab when connected to iTunes, via wifi, email, dropbox etc - they should be included in the backup, but it's best to have a copy of them outside of the backup just in case. You can then force a backup of the iPad via File > Devices > Back Up.
    Then start the update by selecting the iPad on the left-hand sidebar, and on the Summary tab on the right-hand side clicking the Check For Updates button

    If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.0.1. 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 to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).

    A computer is required; however, if you are near an Apple Store, they might assist you by allowing you to use one of their computers to do the update.  I'm not sure about this.

  • A friend can't update her iPad (1) as it times out after 12 Hours.  What would happen if she uses my pc with a faster Internet?  Will my iTunes, syncing etc get messed up with hers?

    A friend can't update her iPad (1) operating system as it keeps telling her to do, as her Internet timed out after 12 hours.  Can we use my PC with a fast Internet or will that mess up my iTunes, syncing etc?  Should she just find an apple store?

    - She can try disabling the the security software on here computer during the download and update.
    - Update the iPad on your computer will not mess up yur computer or iPad. However, she will then have to restore the iPad on her computer if she want to sync to that computer. Also, unless all the media is on your computer it will not be on her computer after the update.

    If you have an iPad 1G you cannot run iOS 7. If you are currently using iOS 4.x.x then you cannot upgrade OTA. Instead do this:
    Give this a try:
    Download Apple – iTunes 11.1. Connect your device to your computer and open iTunes. Select your device under the Devices heading in the iTunes' sidebar. Click on the Summary tab in iTunes' main window. Click on the Update button.
